As bad as that game against the Bears ended up, there were some things to like, and that's against a team which is shaping up to be one of the better in the league. The turnover ratio is what is really killing them; points off turnovers was all the difference last week. Talent-wise, this team isn't really that different from the one that went to the Super Bowl a few years ago (though a good, field-stretching fast WR like Wallace would be nice). The O needs to stop being sloppy and start being fast, and the D needs to rediscover how to create turnovers.

Tdd Haley really needs to gtfo, though, since he's making me miss Bruce Arians and I don't like how that feels.

I noticed that, and I it shall be you(I hope).

I'm pretty sure I'll get one point up on you with the Steelers vs. Vikings pick, at least.

...and give it back in Bears vs. Lions.

You know, I'm not entirely sure what I was thinking there. Thinking

I may have to go back and make a change or two. Big Grin

Any problem with that, provided that the changes are done before first kickoff of the week?

You can change your pick up until kickoff of whatever game is in question. So, you can change your late-game or Monday night picks even after the early Sunday games begin.

Cool. I questioned some of my picks after making them last week, nice to know they aren't cast in stone.

Rams, Ravens, Colts, Seahawks, Bengals, Bucs, Steelers, Bears (sorry FNM), Chiefs, Titans, Broncos, Raiders, Cowpies, Patriots, Fins

Some of these were coin flips: Steelers@Vikings, Cards@Bucs, Niners@Rams, Redskins@Raiders. Which teams are the true contenders, and which are the pretenders for the worst in the league? What happens when an opposable force meets a movable object? Stay tuned and find out!

I just thought I'd point out that the Niners beat the Rams last night. Smile
