These three comments irk me. See if you can guess why.

(Hint, the first one is obvious.)

1. Make fun of Rams
2. Make fun of Colts and Manning Brother
3. Make fun of Other Manning Brother

Do I win a prize?

1. The Rams are not that bad. They have great potential, no bias. Losing is not obvious.

2. Everyone needs to stop freaking out about them. They have players not named Manning that don't suck. It may seem like the Texans' division to lose, but the Colts don't suck this much. And if I'm wrong, then make fun of me all you want, but they're not gonna fall that far.
3. Eli is nowhere near Brady level. Nowhere near his brother's level. Nowhere near as cool.

Go Colts and Cowboys!

...and Rams, since they're playing the Eagles

1. The Rams aren't bad, for the NFC West. Cardinals, Seahawks, 49ers don't exactly strike fear as my Panthers Saints, Falcons, and Bucs. Can they join you guys out there?
2. The Colts may have other players besides Peyton, but they aren't as good without him there. Their also getting older, Wayne turns 33 this fall and Saturday is 36. In Si's words "Tick Tock"
3. Sarcasm my dear friend, hence the :wink:

. I agree with your statement 100%. I just think the Redskins have more problems

1. This is true, although the Rams are still a playoff-caliber team if they can build a bit off last season. And if our whole receiving corps doesn't get injured like last season.
2. Well no duh. I'm just saying they won't explode. And Wayne still has time, not to mention they have TWO great TE's, and Collie and Garcon. And their RB's aren't bad either. Their D is a bit old but still capable.

I mean, I have the Texans winning the division, but the Colts sure as hell aren't dead. And they sure as hell won't get last in a division with the Jags. xD

3. This is true, but the Giants have had a rough offseason and the 'Skins got rid of McNabb and Haynesworth, two huge distractions.

5-10?!?!

Ugh

LightningMan117 · **Posted:** Tue Sep 13, 2011 5:03 pm

Even though this will ultimately make me look worse in my record and its my team I'm going against, the Cardinals actually DID win against the Panthers despite a 422 yard performance by Cam Newton.

Can I keep my win because I gave you all one? :oops:

stevenjackson39 · **Posted:** Tue Sep 13, 2011 5:06 pm

Hold on a sec, I missed something. Thought the Raiders lost. Lemme fix the standings...

maccrash21 · **Posted:** Tue Sep 13, 2011 5:40 pm

Aww thanks. Now I'm 4-11.

stevenjackson39 · **Posted:** Tue Sep 13, 2011 6:02 pm

No prob.

Interesting how in 3 games this week, 2 people picked 1 of them right. And everyone else missed all three.

BrewersFuzz · **Posted:** Tue Sep 13, 2011 6:16 pm

Hey. My goal remains the same as last year. Stay out of last. :razz:

Zumikaku · **Posted:** Tue Sep 13, 2011 6:22 pm

9-6?!?!?!
THANK YOU, DUMB LUCK!!!!!
