NFL 2005 Season Week 10 Picks

When have we decided to start spelling Mientkiewicz wrong? "My vote for "worst trend of 2005": Coaches splitting carries between quality running backs and diluting their fantasy value. First, it's not fair to the millions of losers who live and die with their fantasy teams every week (like me, for example). Second, you're putting some fans in the awkward position of watching someone like Holmes get knocked semiconscious, then immediately getting excited because they have Larry Johnson on their team (which just makes everyone feel crummy). And third, there aren't nearly enough good running backs, anyway -- why hoard them? I just think it's selfish. Some poor fantasy fool has to start Sam Gado this week; meanwhile, Nick Saban is juggling Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams like he's toggling between two channels on a TV screen. You can go to hell, Nick Saban." The fool comment is in reference to me!		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

yeah, lets implement some sort of communist scheme into the NFL. Oh wait, the salary cap takes care of that already.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

just for the record: The only time the Packers faced a team with a QB other than their usual starter was the Steelers. The Packers played the Joe Horn-less Saints, but Horn missed 3 games after that as well, so that hardly counts since other teams got the same break too(and let's face it, the Saints suck). So that's 2 games where the Packers faced a team that was less than 100%(if only slightly) The Vikings have played the Packers, who definitely qualify as a team significantly less than 100%. So while it may seem that the Packer ALWAYS seem to play a team's b-squad, that is definitely not the case.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

It was a Bill Simmons quote and I thought I would include the whole thing, even though I just really needed the thing about Sam Gado, because I picked up Sam Gado this week because I have no runningbacks. Man, talk about having to explain a joke until it loses all of its funniness. Is anyone else afraid their place of residence might get blown away? I can't believe it's almost Thanksgiving! The Sperg was possibly the worst QB to ever play the game.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

i think the Vikes got hosed on that call. It didn't matter whether his arm was going forward if the ball went backwards. But alas, it doesn't matter, because the vikes just picked off another pass. But for the record, I admitted that the Vikings had bad call not in their favor		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

If Scott means they are "Doubly Landlocked", which I think he does, than he is correct. They are both landlocked by countries that are landlocked themselves. That is, they are both at least 2 countries away from ocean access.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

the Packers are 2-7 and have scored 18 more points than they have given up. And talk about beating a good team. The Falcons were healthy, coming off a good week last week, and had almost every reason to believe that they were going to continue to win. But not this day. Michael Vick had nowhere to run. Woo! Winning feels kinda good. I almost forgot what it was like.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

Both of our teams won the "win one they shouldn't" games today. Good week for the Norse, maybe they haters will back off a bit. Recordwise we're hanging in there or better than a few. I'll be rooting for the Packers a few times over the course of the season. (Especially vs. the Bears) However for right now it's officially Packer/Viking week. Let the smack begin.

well, 3rd worst or 5th best, how do you see it? This is really to the vikings credit, but it still very strange, but the fact that the Vikings didn't score an offensive touchdown, and their only offensive points came with like 10 seconds left, and they still managed to pull of a victory. That is kinda of bizzare. 24 points without any offensive numbers whatsoever until maybe the 4th quarter, that's something to brag about. I'm almost glad they won under those circumstances. Although I would have liked to see them lose. How does Edinger get a 30 yard field goal blocked and nail a 48 game winner. makes no sense, but then again, Edinger looks funny kicking.

Edinger sux. He will go out of his way to miss field goals, then only make the ones that count. I am awesome because I picked up Gado. However, I suck because I am in last place this year with the picks. Even Matt is beating me. This is quite horrible. Atrocious even. Winning feels good. Plus, we might bring back Levens. I feel giddy. Plus, come Monday, it's redemption time. WOoooWOooo!!!!		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

I'm not declaring the Vikings superiority (or the Lions as it were) but I wish people could stop declaring the NFC North as "locked up" Yeah the Bears have a 2 game lead, but look who they've played and look who they have coming up. Also the last game of the year is Bears @ Vikings which guarantees a chance at a one game makeup.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

and you'll probably be a huge packer fan during the following 6 weeks after next monday, because the Packers still play the lions once and the Bears twice. But in the Bears defense, they have a really good defense, and I'm pretty sure they beat up on the Vikings pretty bad when the two teams played.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

Vikings get crushed by the Falcons(with Vick out for some of the game), the Packers beat the same falcons team pretty handily. Vikings get crushed by Bengals, packers lose by 7 going down to the last drive. Vikings lose to the Bucs by 11, packers lose to the Bucs by 1. Somehow the Vikings found a way to pull of a W last time they played the Packers, but history tells that it won't happen this week.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.
