NFL 2016 Pick'em League!
RE: NFL 2016 Pick'em League!
Two "what were they thinking" awards in a row.

I guess I should just be satisfied to be over .500 at this point.

I knew I should have flipped on the Bills, but I just couldn't get myself to make the move. If I'd flipped on the Bills and not championed the Titans, I'd have had a pretty impressive week. I guess hindsight is 20/20.

I'm actually not doing pathetically for not really following pointyball.

The Lions already have two division losses, and we're only four games into the season. That and they haven't even played the Vikings yet.

Speaking of the Vikings, I haven't watched any of their games, but just what the hell is going on with them? No Bridgewater nor Peterson, and they're undefeated with Bradford at the helm. It's like their whole team has made sure to eat their Wheaties.

Defense is what's going on with them. They are second in interceptions (6) and sacks (15). 7th in yards allowed per game.

It mostly comes down to tough defensive play. Other teams' offenses are having a hell of a time getting anything going against them.

Bradford has done well, though not spectacularly so. But he has not made a number of damaging mistakes, and he is still learning the system, so I give him a solid B+ up to this point.

My biggest disappointment so far (aside from the injuries), is the somewhat less than stellar performance from the offensive line. Their running game is in the toilet, with or without AP. They will need to step up considerably in that respect if they are to maintain their momentum.

It would also help if their kicker could get his shit together. Is there a shrink or kicker whisperer in the house?
