Why can’t I read? Huh? Too much pouring over Suicide League spreadsheets, I’m sure :) :)

I meant to say that the Chargers have only Jacksonville as a likely win, and the way the Chargers have been playing, Jacksonville may prove to be too much :). So given the expectations of wins/losses, I wouldn’t put the Chargers in the front of the pack. One would think they would have a better record, but they seem to be able to find amazing ways to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory :)

4402

Yep, I agree with this wholeheartedly. You would expect any playoff team like the Pats or Steelers to go 5-2 against that schedule, but nothing is surprising with the Chargers any more. They could beat Chicago and Baltimore and lose to Jacksonville and Denver and we’d just go, Oh, Those Wacky Chargers!

Fire Norv. Do it today.

7 wins could plausibly win the AFC West this year. 8 is almost a slam dunk, especially with tie breakers. If any team wins 9, they are the division winners, period.

4404

Tebow and/or Skelton, that’s who.

4405

I think they will almost certainly lose to Chicago in Chicago. I guess there is a chance they could win out from there, and people wouldn’t be that surprised.

4406

So I turn on ESPN and see the game is about to start. I walk off to the bathroom.

I return and it’s 7-0 Packers.

Well, that game was fun.

4407

On the plus side for Minnesota, the Vikings get the ball right back after a 3-and-out, so they’ve got another chance, right?

4408

Seattle’s young offensive line has come together of late, allowing just two sacks in the last two games, including one to the Ravens on Sunday. But they took a hit to the line as rookie RG Moffit is out for the year due to an injury suffered in that game. Plus, three other starters suffered concussions Sunday (WR Baldwin, WR Rice, and S Chancellor) and are all up in the air for the game at St. Louis this week.

That said, if the Seahawks that showed up on Sunday were to show up the rest of the way the Seahawks could have pretty decent finish to the year. The next four games are at St. Louis and then home against the Redskins, Eagles, and Rams.

<pinball machine sounds>

14-0

I mostly agree. Just like I don’t really hate Radiohead, I just hate Radiohead fans.

Although Tebow did take out an anti-abortion ad during the Super Bowl. So it’s not entirely his fans.

4411

I can’t believe the Vikings tried to kick a 52-yard field goal into what was obviously some epic wind. Sure, Longwell kicks long well, but common sense, dudes.

On the other hand, I guess you need to take some chances when you’re already down by 14 and are playing the Packers.

4412

You know, the Vikes could run zero more trick plays for the rest of the year and I’d be totally fine with that.

4413

So I’m sitting here thinking, “Man, the offense is just not firing on all cylinders, and the defense isn’t stopping anything,” and of course it’s 17-0.

I guess I’m qualified to root for the Patriots now?

4414

Chris Berman just said he’s done for the season.

WTF is a Lisfranc injury, anyway?

4415

I have an extra Yankees hat I can mail you.

4416

Break in the foot where the metatarsals (toe bones) meet the tarsus (the mass of bones that make up the instep). It’s pretty nasty.

4417

It sounds painful. Ouch.

4418

I flipped to ESPN during a hockey commercial and saw the score was 7-0 and thought, “Oh, look at that, it’s still a game”. Then I looked at the time and saw that the game was only about 30 seconds into the first quarter. Neverrrrmind.

RANDALL COBB, GODDAMMIT.

WTF is going on here? They’re advertising catheters on Monday Night Football now?

Hell, they’re advertising catheters, period?
