On a separate note, the AI Seahawks are horrendous. They fell down and went boom.
All right, we’re scheduled to roll over to Week 14 tonight. According to the MyLeagueManager.net predictions, here’s how the rest of the season is predicted to end up, playoff-wise:
AFC
-
Baltimore, 14-2
-
San Diego, 13-3
-
Indianapolis, 12-4
-
New England, 11-5
-
WC: Pittsburgh, 13-3
-
WC: Miami, 10-6
NFC:
-
San Francisco OR Arizona, 14-2
-
Atlanta OR Carolina, 13-3
-
Green Bay, 11-5
-
Philadelphia, 9-7
-
WC: Arizona OR San Francisco, 14-2
-
WC: Carolina OR Atlanta, 13-3
By their predictions, the Falcons/Panthers and the Niners/Cardinals will wind up with identical records, split their games versus each other, and have identical division records.
MLM also predicts:
- the Buccanneers will win out for the rest of the season
- the Jets will lose to Miami and New England. THEY ARE HIGH. We’re un-goddamn-stoppable.
- Seattle will go 0-16.
That’s what the computer says, anyway.
Well, I am glad the computer is pulling for me… I will definitely win the AI games. My defense eats the AI alive. As for the other two, I do not know. I like to think I am the scrappy team no one likes to play because I have a chance to be the upset.
I also notice I have lost a lot. :P
Yeah, we’re not getting a wild-card berth.
What’s important is that you beat New England and knock them out of contention to clear the way for the Jets. I propose a non-aggression pact between the Jets and Dolphins to facilitate this crusade.
Hm … Vikings won’t be making the playoffs this year. NFC is tough!

jpinard, when do you want to play? Most nights are ok with me. Let me know.
Vikings / Raiders went off without too many hitches. Raider running game was solid and the Raiders were up 13-10 in the 4th quarter before ADP heroically brought the Vikings back for the win!
On a good note, no injuries and the Vikings will finally be fully healed going into next week.
QB You shook off an awful 5/15 start to finish 11/24 on the day.
My Niners absolutely demolished the poor Cowboys, 49-0.
Gore ran for 293 yards on 35 carries, with 6 touchdowns.
That is all.
Six touchdowns. And I thought I was overrelying on one player…
The funny thing is, I didn’t run Gore any more than I usually do. The Cowboys D is so bad that normal rushes outside the red zone turned into long TD runs.
The Cowboys are just bad in general. Their O-line in particular is thinner than a runway model with an amphetamine problem.
Hey now! Tortured analogies are MY gimmick!
If it’s any consolation, I thought of you when I wrote that.
Destroyed the poor Titans (I think it was) over the weekend. Had two TD passes with Josh Freeman, two TD passes with Josh Johnsen (they knocked Freeman out for the game in the first half), and three rushing TDs total. After going up 42-3 in the first half, I eased off on them a bit for the second half (my back QB threw a couple of picks) and we ended up winning with the final score being 56 - 17.
Next up, actual player.
Your combined QBs went 25/39 for 345 yards. That’s a hall-of-fame passing day for the Bucs.
The Patriots hosted the Dolphins for the second time this season, and once again the Dolphins escaped via a last-second field goal.
Brady and Henne were pretty well contained at times, as evidenced by the scoreless first and third quarters, with a whole lot of punting going on. Jamaal Charles did what he could to make us respect the run, though, which opened up some passing options for Tom, especially in the fourth quarter.
But the Dolphins defense knocked around the Patriots receivers, as Julian Edelman was carted off for one week, and Randy Moss left for the game. Welker, somehow, was already out for the season. In their stead, Tom turned to Laurence Maroney as his primary slot receiver, with Taylor Price and Brandon Tate as his deep threats. Price in particular was shifty, shaking his coverage with aplomb.
Vince Wilfork and the Patriots defense bottled up the Dolphins running game, holding Ronnie Brown to an average of 0.7 yards per carry, so we abandoned the run and went pass-heavy. Unfortunately, Henne was about as accurate as a blind man with Rheumatoid arthritis and a Kalashnikov, and couldn’t complete passes to many open receivers. So, once again, we had to rely on Brandon Marshall’s insane catching abilities, as he easily topped 300 yards and four touchdowns, three of them in traffic.
Brandon Marshall is SO GOOD. You’re going to hate it when he gets injured right before the playoffs.
I know. Fortunately we have Troy Williamson stashed on the bench.
That’s sarcasm, by the way.
