Time to try something different , we've done the power rankings and the pain rankings - now I will attempt to rank all 16 games this week in terms of being watchable.
16. Bengals vs Browns - No real explanation needed here , two of the worst teams in the NFL with really nothing at stake at this point aside from draft picks. Two bad head coaches from the same tree - the only redeemable thing about this game is AJ Green is on my fantasy team but for 95% of the NFL population this game is unwatchable.
15. Cardinals vs 49ers - Despite being in one of the most exciting games on the year past Thursday I'm not giving the 49ers enough credit to do it again , and even if this game ends up being entertaining it will all be for nothing.
14. Colts vs Seahawks - The NFL was expecting Luck for this game so it's in primetime , as it stands though we have a pissed off Seattle team coming home to face a Colts roster than barely qualifies for the NFL. I expect this to be a bloodbath and thus unwatchable.
13. Buccaneers vs Giants - The Giants showed some life last week in the 4th quarterback but ultimately ended up falling short , while the Bucs laid an eggs against Minnesota. I think the Giants offense is terrible and the Bucs offense is still figuring things out - so this should be a slop fest of a game where the first team to double digits wins. Count me out.
12. Jaguars vs Jets - Both teams are coming off from huge wins , and both teams have quarterback issues. This could be #15 and I wouldn't argue too much but I like watching Jacksonville's defense - and Bortles has some implosion factor that could be fun to watch.
11. Steelers vs Ravens - For being touted as one of the best rivalries in sports , this game has no luster to me. The Steelers suck on the road and the Ravens suck on offense - it should be a close division game but I just can't get excited for it because I think these are two very mediocre teams.
10. Packers vs Bears - This is my number one , but putting bias aside I think it boils down to a powerhouse in the NFL vs a current laughing stock despite the fact they've play two contenders tough. The longest running rivalry that should be closer than expected is enough to bump it ahead of Steelers/Ravens for me.
9. Panthers vs Patriots - This game has potential to be GOTW , but with the way Cam and the Panthers offense is playing it also has the potential to be a complete blowout in Foxboro. I had a hard time ranking it , but the Patriots suspect defense and game against Houston has me wondering if Cam and company can hang with Brady.
8. Saints vs Dolphins - The Dolphins should be able to right the ship against the Saints and both teams are fighting for their playoff lives at this point in the season. It being a London game bumps it up a few spots for unpredictability.
7. Rams vs Cowboys - I find the Cowboys boring , this is more of my rankings of the Rams and my curiosity of what they can do next. I think it's a fairly close game and either team could really win. I hope Goff and company show up for it.
6. Titans vs Texans - Deshaun Watson instantly makes the Texans more watchable and the Titans when they are rolling are one of the more watchable teams in the league. Incredible that both teams will be playing to possibly keep pace with the Jaguars.
5. Lions vs Vikings - A division game that produced IMO one of the more exciting game all of last season , the Lions are consistently in some of the most exciting games every week and this is a game that has a lot riding on it early in the season.
4. Bills vs Falcons - I could be completely wrong about this game , but I'm seriously intrigued by this Buffalo team who are better than anyone thought they were. They play hard , they keep games close and I think they can give this Atlanta defense enough of a headache to make this one close.
3. Eagles vs Chargers - I think this game has the biggest shootout potential , so while it may seem like it doesn't matter much I moved it way too far up the rankings. Also the Chargers losing in brutal fashion makes most of their games must see , and the Eagles have played in a few exciting games this season.
2. Washington vs Kansas City - Monday Night Football finally catches a break and produces what could be the most exciting game of the season. Washington is quietly 2-1 and could easily be 3-0 and their offense got off the ground on Sunday Night and I expect them to play Kansas City well.
1. Raiders vs Broncos - Two perceived powerhouses in the AFC , two division rivals and a game that feels like it's going to deeply impact the playoff picture down the line. Offense vs Defense - I am definitely looking forward to this game.
That's the rankings! They are totally wonky but it was a harder exercise than I expected going in and impossible not to let biases get in the way.

Monday night games have been good so far this year, it's actually been Sunday night which has yet to give us a particularly entertaining game, and that streak looks to continue this week. I think we're past the time of simply assuming that Seattle will be alright, and while they might win this week, I'd be picking the Rams over them in Week 5.
I agree that Oakland/Denver looks like the most appealing game on paper as they attempt to bounce back and keep pace with the Chiefs.

I love to do this pickem thing and talk about it here, but I am embarrassingly tied for last in the PW pickem with a 25-22 record. I'm above .500 though, so I'm right more then half the time! Still only 6 games back, though. Going into Week 4, I'm ready to make a huge jump. I'm predicting perfection! Here we go!
Chicago Bears @ Green Bay Packers - DA BEARS! What a stunning upset they pulled off last week. Shit, they nearly did it in Week 1. So a near upset of the Falcons and an actual upset of the Steelers and were wondering who these Bears really are. Are they Week 1 and Week 3 Bears or are they Week 2 Bears who got dominated by the Bucs? If they can pull off this win, they will have the same record as the Packers and will officially make believers of a lot of people.
The Green Bay Aaron Rodgers, I mean Packers!.... pulled off a huge win against the Cincinnati Bengals. That had me thinking that this team would absolutely blow without Aaron Rodgers. This guy is a MACHINE! Imagine this, he's my wife's favorite player. I found this out when the season started and was immediately disgusted by her. How dare she not like a New York player? Well, as he made that comeback against Cincy and we were lucky enough to have it grace our TV screens, all I could hear was her saying "see, this is why! Eli wasn't doing this." Needless to say, I wasn't too pleased. But I understand. He's a God on that football field.
The great rivalry will continue this week and we will find out who the Bears really are. Aaron Rodgers will be that mythical God on the football field, because we know who he is. As for the Bears, they are who we thought they were! They'll fail to keep it close in an even number week game. Aaron Rodgers will jump out in front early and it's Lambeau. No competition. Green Bay Packers win 34-10
LONDON II New Orleans Saints vs Miami Dolphins - As I predicted, the Nawlin Saints pulled off the upset of the Panthers last week! Why did I say they would? Because Cam is a SCAM! That's why. I don't want to jump on the Saints defensive bandwagon, because they dominated everyone not named Christian McCaffrey last week, but they got that very important division win. All of a sudden, the Saints come into Week 4 at 1-2 with a very believable chance to jump to .500.
The Miami Dolphins. Man. Where do I start? How about last week? What the fuck?! You lost to the Jets! Not only did you lose, but you got shut out. Jay Ajayi may be battling injuries, but this dude broke a lot of fantasy hearts and got swallowed by the Jets every time he touched the ball. Once Ajayi went silent, Cutler couldn't do shit. That got me thinking on who the Dolphins really are. Because, quite frankly, if the Chargers didn't have some voodoo bad luck following them for the last 2 seasons and got the GW FG, the Dolphins could be 0-2. They did start last season off at 1-4 and stormed back to make the playoffs, but are they trying to rewrite that same script?
The London fans were given a live presentation of a mauling last week as the Jaguars ripped apart the Ravens and improved to 3-2 at their home away from home. This week, they'll be gifted with Drew Brees. I expect Brees to rip through the Dolphins like McCown managed to, but worse. With the return of Snead, Brees will be happy with the extra weapon. I expect Adrian Petersons first TD to come this week, which will be funny because it'll be in international soil in the 4th week. How the mighty have fallen or how Sean Payton destroyed him, either or. Either way, I see the Saints running away with this game and it won't be a close one. Sorry London. New Orleans Saints win 38-17
Jacksonville Jaguars @ New York Jets - Two surprising teams of Week 3 match up in a game where the winner can instantly make their season trajectory sky rocket. Okay, maybe not for the Jets, that'll just keep ass fucking their draft, but the Jaguars can. That D is legitimate. They shut down the Ravens and if not for their terrible performance in Week 2, nobody would've doubted it. The Jaguars are blessed with another easy on paper match up against a poor on paper offense. Will Bortles explode on this offense? Will Fournette run for 200 yards? Those are all possibilities.
The Jets shocked me with their stellar performance last week. They played with a lot of heart and took care of the Dolphins in their first home game of the season. If you're dumb, you'll start believing in this team. If the Jets luck is dumb and they win this game, they're looking at a match up with the Browns next week and actual hopes of a 3-2 start. Imagine?
Listen, I don't think the Jets are as good as they looked last week. I think they came in with fire where the Dolphins came in expecting to easily win. The Jets may slow down Bortles, but they're not going to stop Fournette. He's going to wear them out and that Jaguars D will completely annihilate anything the Jets do on offense. The Jets may keep it close at home, but in the end, I think a pick 6 puts this away. Jacksonville Jaguars win 24-9
Tennessee Titans @ Houston Texans - The Tennessee Titans put on a show last week against Seattle. I wasn't surprised by Marriotas performance since interconference games are sort of his thing. I was surprised by the complete switch of top RB on the team happened again. A week after everyone was ready to crown Henry the RB, Demarco Murray took back that reign. With a huge win against Seattle, Tennessee is given a huge road opportunity against division rival, Texans. If the Titans can pull off this victory, they'll be 3-1 with a nice 2-0 against their division. That's 2-0 without facing a Luckless Colts once. Huge opportunity for them.
The Houston Texans almost shocked the world last week. Not only did they come alive on offense, but they came one magical Brady moment away from pulling off a monster upset. Their D is going to get better as the season rolls on and their offense is already looking better with Deshaun Watson getting a better feel of the NFL. Watson is still going to make rookie mistakes, but he looked great against the best of the best. A huge division game for the Texans, where a loss could put them in an almost impossible jam to get out of at 1-3 with an 0-2 division record.
This game is in Houston and that has me leaning towards the Texans. Although both teams had impressive performances last week, I can honestly say I was more impressed by the Texans. Seattles offense has looked lethargic all season, yet Russell Wilson started ripping through the Titans D. The Texans, led by a rookie QB, nearly upset the Patriots. I am super impressed by Deshaun Watson and see myself falling in love with him the further this season goes along. Obviously, I love the Titans and that's no secret, but this game just feels like another game where the Titans show lack of consistency from performance to performance. I believe it will be a close game and I believe Deshaun Watson will find a way to lead his team into FG range to win it as the time expires. I'm picking Houston to bring both teams to 2-2. Jaguars shall reign supreme 1/4 in at 3-1. This division will go back to being a 3 team race after this one. Houston Texans win 19-17
Carolina Panthers @ New England Patriots - What did I say about those damn Panthers?! Cam Newton is finished. He's a RB killer and the injuries to his targets are not helping him. Plus, I'm convinced he's not 100% healed or secure after his shoulder surgery. I knew they'd get spanked by the Saints and I know they will this week, too. I'm just hoping with Olsen out and Benjamin possibly out, McCaffrey gets to have another huge game. He'll somehow score 2 TDs in this game. Bill Bellicheck will fall in love with him after this game. I have a feeling the Panthers are going to be heading towards a rebuild in the next 2-3 years and McCaffrey looks like a great fit for post-Brady Patriots. Just saying.
The Patriots pulled off a huge last minute victory thanks to the GOAT, Tom Brady. However, their biggest problem is their defense. They have been getting roasted by opposing offenses all season so far. If ever there was a time to face a lethargic offense, it's now and it's the Panthers. I mean, the Texans weren't supposed to be this high scoring team either, but I can't see the Patriots letting it keep happening.
I'm going to obviously go with the Patriots here. I think their defense will struggle a bit in containing McCaffrey and I'm going to predict he ends the game with 150+ total yards and 2 TDs. The Patriots will just be too much for the Panthers, though. Cam isn't Superman anymore, but Brady is still the GOAT. Easy win. New England Patriots win 28-17
Buffalo Bills @ Atlanta Falcons - Okay Buffalo, who are you?! If there wasn't all that jibber jabber between McCoy and Kelly, we would be hearing a lot more about how this Bills team just methodically beat the Broncos. Week 3 was filled with some wild upsets and this was one of them. The Bills were supposed to be tanking. That's what the trades they made signaled to. Now here they are 2-1 and could very well be 3-0 if they just managed to find the end zone against Carolina once in Week 2. They're tied for 1st with the Patriots and have had excellent defense and steady play from Tyrod Taylor. The crazy thing is Lesean McCoy hasn't even exploded again since Week 1. The Bills may be the surprise team in the AFC East this season that gives the Patriots a problem in winning the division.
On the other end, the Atlanta Falcons jumped to a 3-0 start and once again by absolute luck! Say what you want, but that should have been a TD for Golden Tate and that should've been another correct upset by me. The Falcons are OVERRATED and I've been saying that louder and louder after every game and every win. With the way things are looking, they're probably going to win the division and definitely going to make the playoffs, but they're not this top dog everyone says they are. Ask McNabb, he agrees with me apparently.
Fortunately for the Falcons, they get a easy on paper match up against the Bills. This will be the biggest test of the young season for Buffalo and if that D can slow down Matt Ryan and Devonte Freeman here, then they've made a believer out of me. Can the Bills take advantage of a not 100% Julio? I don't know. I can't buy into them yet. I'll give this to the continued luck of the Falcons with an easy enough win. It'll be close at the half, but the Falcons will pull away in the last two quarters to win comfortably. Atlanta Falcons win 34-17
Pittsburgh Steelers @ Baltimore Ravens - I was so pumped up for this game to be a battle between two hard hitting division rivals going at it at 3-0. Instead, we get a match up between two teams who lost games they should've won. Leveon Bell needs to wake up or start showing up to training camps, because he does not look special. Antonio Brown is still the best WR in the NFL, but that offense is just not clicking like it should be. They'll be fine, but I'm waiting for them to actually shine.
The Baltimore Ravens looked awful last week and the loss of Yanda really hurt Flacco. He looked terrible in London and the whole team just seemed to give up very early. I have a feeling their decline will continue, but I think their D will help keep this division rivalry game close.
It will definitely be a close game, because these two teams hate each other. They always put on great games, but the Baltimore fans are probably not going to leave this game happy. Especially when Joe Flacco fails to get into the end zone. Justin Tucker will notch a bunch of FGs, but in the end, Big Ben will find Antonio Brown for a GW TD and the Steelers will win another hard hitting, low scoring thriller where their offense still doesn't look as good as it should. Pittsburgh Steelers win 17-15
Cincinnati Bengals @ Cleveland Browns - If scoring no TDs in the first two games didn't feel like the shittiest feeling in the world, then blowing a 2 TD lead has to top that! Those damn Bungals. Could it get worse? Yes. A loss to the Browns would top all 3.
If the Browns couldn't beat the Colts, then who are they supposed to beat?
I don't really want to talk about this game. Two 0-3 teams. Andy Dalton has always struggled playing in Cleveland and this will probably be more of the same. Fortune will turn their way as the Browns offense will just manhandled by the Bengals D. Cincy will win this game, but it won't be because of their offense. That D will win it for them and it's going to be ugly. Cincinnati Bengals win 17-3
Detroit Lions @ Minnesota Vikings - The Lions were robbed! I'll keep saying it, too. Screw the replays, they got robbed. I am so impressed by what Matthew Stafford has done post-Megatron that I truly believe this guy can lead this team to a Super Bowl one day. Their D is great and they forced 3 interceptions by Matt Ryan. Yet they still lost. So that's got to be disappointing. They settled for too many FGs and it ended up costing them against a high octane offense.
Minnesota is not high octane, contrary to what you saw them do to the Buccaneers. I mentioned Keenums undefeated streak against the Bucs and he continued it to 3-0. Now back to reality. That offense is not going to be able to have their way against the Lions D, so they're going to need to count on the Purple Eaters to slow down Stafford.
In the end, it'll come down to the better QB. The defenses sort of even each other out here, but when that 4th quarter begins, it's Stafford Time and I see him shining and pulling away. A game dealing TD to Tate would be poetic finalizing it with a powerful spike of the ball to emphasize that he is in by Tate. It'll be a good game and once the 4th begins, the Lions will put it away. They'll remain inches away from being 4-0. Detroit Lions win 27-17
Los Angeles Rams @ Dallas Cowboys - The beauty of Thursday Night games is that so much time and so many games pass in between that when it's time to get to the next game, many forget how that team got to that record. You see, that's exactly what's happening with the Rams. Did they win? Yes. Did they improve to 2-1? Yes. Did they nearly blow it in the 4th quarter? Oh yeah, that's right! Exactly. Their wins against the Colts and 49ers are so often forgotten by people, because they want to obsess over the fact that they're 2-1 and that Todd Gurley is a productive fantasy RB again. I get it. People want to see this young team in Los Angeles do good and they will. Against a bad teams.
Not against these Cowboys. The Cowboys came off an impressive win on the road under the bright lights of Monday. Dak Presscot continues to look more and more like the real future of this team instead of Zeke and continues to be the greatest discount in the NFL for an owner. The way they came alive in the second half of this game makes me believe that they've finally woken up from their 6 quarter slump.
The Cowboys get a good match up here where they'll keep themselves on track to win the division. With the Eagles and Redskins on the same step, they need this easy match up. I expect Zeke to have a huge game (3 total TDs) as the Rams struggle against the run and against big plays. The Cowboys are probably going to blow the Rams out, but if the Rams keep it close and competitive OR win, then the Rams are a legitimate threat to a lot of teams this season. Especially for their division crown. I just don't buy it. Cowboys with ease for me. Dallas Cowboys win 41-14
San Francisco 49ers @ Arizona Cardinals - The 49ers lose another heartbreaker. This time at home. Boy, did they make a huge comeback though. If they were able to finish that, I would comfortably be predicting an upset for them coming into this week. It will definitely be a tough loss to swallow and now we get to see how they look after a tough loss.
The Arizona Cardinals are such an old team making such dumb mistakes. It just doesn't make sense. Bruce Arians not kicking a FG was stupid. You need the onside anyways and I get you're close to the end zone, but it's 4th down. Give your team an opportunity to b able to recover the onside and win. They couldn't put the game away with Dallas in the 1st half and everyone not named Larry Fitzgerald disappeared in the second half. The Honey Badger gave up a huge, game changing play and the Cardinals suffered a mistake filled loss.
Fortunately for both teams, this division is looking weak again and 8-9 wins could easily win it. I just don't think the 49ers are good enough to beat the Cards. I know this has been a giddy upset special for a lot of people, but I don't see the Cards losing to a lesser team at home. Arizona Cardinals win 23-12
Philadelphia Eagles @ Los Angeles Chargers - Heres a tale of two teams with completely opposite luck. On one hand, you got the Philadelphia Eagles. A team who was destined for OT last week if not for a poison Flowers making costly mistakes which coincided with a muffed punt and a 61 yard GW FG by a nobody kicker. Put that together and you have a team in a 3-way tie for division lead at 2-1.
On the other end, you got the Los Angeles Chargers who lost the first two weeks due to missed FGs at the end and got Kareem Hunt'd in the 4th quarter in Week 3. Put that together with a 3 interception game by Philip Rivers and you have an 0-3 team.
The only thing these two have in common is they both lost to the Kansas City Chiefs this season. You can easily say that Philly looked better in the match up, but how will they fare against one another? This is my UPSET pick of the week. With a battered secondary in Philadelphia, I have a feeling Rivers has a vintage game and throws for over 300 yards and 3 TDs. It will be a close game, because Wentz wouldn't have it any other way. I feel like the luck will finally turn around for the Chargers as their 1-11 record in games decided by a TD or less in the last two seasons finally gets another W in the column. I think this will be high scoring and I think the Chargers survive one at home. I see Koo finally getting off a GW FG as time expires and winning it. The Eagles lose on one a week after winning on one. A great game for fantasy owners or Rivers, Allen and Ertz; oh wait, I have all 3 on my money team. Go me! Los Angeles Chargers win 30-27
Oakland Raiders @ Denver Broncos - I had the Steelers and Ravens and this game being the battle of division rivals at 3-0 and all 4 fucking teams lost. The Raiders got manhandled by the Redskins and even Beast Mode got rocked. Cooper was held to one catch, as was Crabtree. Derek Carr looked like his older brother, getting sacked over and over again. The Raiders D continues to look suspect. I don't think that game is anything more then a reality check for them.
As for the Denver Broncos, I feel like their loss to the Bills was just them not being as prepared for a challenge as they should've been. Siemien didn't look good and continued to make mistakes. Mistakes that'll be the reason this team doesn't make it to the Super Bowl, by the way. Von Miller continues to make mistakes on D, as well. He's penalized a lot at the end of games. The Broncos just got caught off guard. That's how I'm taking their last performance.
In what could've been a battle for 4-0 supremacy, it will now be a battle to not fall into a 2-2 hole and keep up with the Chiefs. I don't think Cooper has a good game here. He'll probably be shut down again. I just think Denver looks like the better pick, but I'm probably going to split this season series up for the home teams winning. It's a really hard game for the Raiders to bounce back offensively. That's my thoughts. It'll be a close game, though. Denver Broncos win 27-19
New York Giants @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Well, the Giants lost another one. What the fuck is going on over there? Another bad punt leads to a Eagles win? A FG remix to Desean Jackson. It's tough being a New Yorker right now. You know you get any sized coffee from Dunkin for $1 the day after either the Giants or Jets win a game? Do you understand that I got my first $1 large iced coffee thanks to the Jets before I did the Giants?! Insanity! I don't want to go into this shit again, but I blame McAdoo and I still think OBJ needs to go. He doesn't represent what the Giants organization is and he's too self centered to ever get it. He's a dog, he says. He's right. A female dog. He's a fucking bitch.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers got Case Keenum'd again. Jameis Winston made the same mistakes he seems to always do. Even though we were told he's done making them. Turnovers. Forced turnovers. He's got to stop with that shit. Their running game is bleh and they're patiently waiting for Doug Martin to come off suspension to help revitalize that. I'm still not sure what this Bucs team is about since we got a night/day viewing of them in their first two games. This game will be a real showing of who they are.
Last week, I said if the Giants lost to the Eagles, I would have no choice but to give up on them. Well, I lied. I want $1 iced coffee every Monday. So I'm doing it again. Giants to win a close one. New York Giants win 27-23
I don't feel like getting into the SNF and MNF games, so here are quick predictions.
Seattle wins 30-0 SHUT OUT IN SEATTLE Chiefs win 27-17

That damn Texans vs Patriots games was one of the best games I've ever seen in going on 26 years of watching football. It took a couple of days for me to calm down and let it set in, I haven't rewatched it yet but that was just ridiculous. I probably legit almost had a heart attack, my larynx still hurts. That loss hurt so bad I can't remember a regular season game that felt like that, that felt like a playoff loss, man if they would have won that game...
What a battle though. Best game I've seen in a long time. Watson is the one.

I'm so sick of injuries I could puke , I'm also sick of other teams getting excuses made for them while people are like "what's wrong with the Packers?". Nine players out , 6 of which are starters is what's wrong with the Packers.
Again tonight we are without Bahktiari , one of the best three players at his position and Bulaga on the right side is back on the sidelines as well. Perry , the best pass rusher on the team , Mike Daniels who is the best defensive player on the team and House who is a starting cornerback and his backups suck ass. I could go on and on but at least Cobb is coming back and gives Rodgers an outlet receiver. And then there's Murphy who is Bahk's backup , now placed on IR. We had to sign a tackle off Arizona's practice squad for christs sake. The Packers - always injured.
The game tonight worries me , the Bears have played two tough games this year and their defense can get pressure on the quarterback and if McCarthy decides to wait another three quarters to help out his tackles it's going to be another long night for this offense. The running game with no doubt struggle again and the Bears if they are smart will key in on the short passing game which crushes Montgomery's value in this game even more.
Defensively it's a two headed monster at running back and while normally I wouldn't be too worried about it , Capers has been running like 80% of the defensive plays with 6 defensive backs on the field in a "vaunted" nitro package. It's been effective and sustained against the run at times , but the Bears have a better running game than Seattle or Cincy and I feel Capers is going to wait too long to get some bigger bodies in there because he and McCarthy have the foresight of a toddler.
I expect it to be a close game , this iteration of the Packers ain't blowing the doors off of anyone. My best hope is that Glennon does Glennon things and we get a few turnovers and turn em into points.
Oh and the Packers , in Packers fashion have the single most boring color rush uniforms of all time. Couldn't go with yellow? Couldn't make it crazy to watch?

Tailgate party on the greatest rivalry ever to open up the new forum, anyone? Let's do this.
I got the Packers winning in a blow out, but let's marvel at the greatness that is Aaron Rodgers. Because that is, for some weird reason, my wife's favorite player and I'll be hearing her marvel.

Damn. The Bears are just playing bad offensively. Their best receivers and quarterback couldn't make the Packers or a lot of teams roster. The game is there worst possible script for them.

They did beat the Steelers a week ago with that roster and nearly beat the Falcons in Week 1, so it's not like they're as awful as we all thought they'd be. They're just off to the worst possible start.

The shot at Vince Young was unnecessary. :suspic:
I don't know who's going to win MVP this season, but I would put Aaron Rodgers at the top of the list and that's including Tom Brady looking equally amazing. It's just these injuries to the Packers and he's just finding ways to throw TDs. It's crazy.

That's twice tonight the refs have proved they've don't understand how the world works. They missed that ball by like 4 feet.

A very dirty play and players were calling for medical assistance as soon as the ball carrier went down. A writer on ESPN is calling for a suspension, and rightfully so.

Yeah it was one of the dirtiest plays I've seen in a long time , and the intent to harm was clearly there. Adams was down 7 yards short - no reason for that hit at all other than to try and injure him. He should have been ejected , he should be suspended for the season and the refs that let him finish that game should be fined as well. Make an example of the piece of shit and those piece of shit type plays.

Yeah. He should've totally been ejected from the game. When you get flagged for such a hit that renders the opposing player unconscious, that should be the ideal situation for an ejection.
To keep people discussing things, I'm going to ask a few questions regarding this week of football.
1- The Bears have yet to put Trubitsky into a game. Do you think John Fox is doing the right thing by sticking with Trubitsky on the bench? - My answer is yes. He is doing the right thing. Let's be honest here. In Week 1, it wasn't the QBs fault they lost. The receivers inability to catch a ball cost them that game. What's Trubitsky going to do different with the terrible offensive weapons? My guess is nothing. At best, a 5-11 record with maybe the possibility of a 6th. Stick with what you got and try and get some help from the draft. Kevin White is never going to work out due to his injuries and with his size, he's never really going to amount to much help either. Why set Trubitsky up for failure in his rookie season? Maybe you let him start the final week or two just to see what he's about. No need to risk injury or a drop in confidence with the shitty offense.
2- If the Bengals lose this week to the Browns, is it time to pull the plug on Marvin Lewis? - I think this would be a good time, BUT the players really like him. Especially the players with poor attitudes and backgrounds such as Pac Man and Burlict. Firing him 4 games in after an 0-4 start would be ideal for any other team, but this could really upset some of their actual decent players where they just give up on the season. Plus Marvin Lewis apparently has a good relationship with the owner of the Bengals. A win here and they can still have a chance. However, Andy Dalton has always struggled playing in Cleveland and this could be another chapter to the terrible season of the Bengals. 2 games without a TD followed by a blown lead in the 4th quarter. A loss to the Browns would be an appropriate time to just let go. Only way I see Marvin coaching this team next season is if they make it to the AFC Championship game and I don't see that happening.
3- If the Redskins beat the Chiefs this week, would you consider them the team to beat in the NFC East? - The Cowboys play the Rams and should win that game. The Eagles play the Chargers and it has upset written all over it for Philly. The Giants haven't won a game and Tampa is not an easy match up. If the Redskins defeat the Chiefs, they will now have defeated both the Raiders and the Chiefs. Two teams from the toughest division in the NFL. Not to mention, they already beat the Rams. I would definitely put them as the team to beat if they can pull off that upset. I don't think they will, but if they do, their wins far outweigh the wins of the Cowboys. The Cowboys wins against the Giants and Cards followed by a possible win against the Rams isn't as impressive as the resume of the Skins. Sure the offensive weapons aren't as shiny or bright for the Skins, but they have used them all for the better.
4- How legit are the Bills if they win or keep it close with ATL? Can they steal the AFC East? - Everyone is riding Jacksonville and the Rams as their favorite Cinderalla stories for the first 3 weeks. But there's another surprising team at 2-1 who have far more impressive wins and a much better chance at being 3-0 then those two teams. Those are the Bills. A team many thought traded away their best players to throw the season away. Their D has played great, but are about to face their toughest challenge in ATL. New England's D has played atrocious and one would think that Tom Brady isn't going to magical every week, although he may. I doubt they keep up to the Patriots as the season rolls on, but I think Buffalo has a chance to be the Dolphins of last season and possibly even steal the 6th seed from one of the three AFC West teams. A win here would be astronomical for them, but if that D can shut down ATL and keep it close and lose a one-score game, it may be time to believe in Buffalo.
5- Who should I start in my money league? 2 of the 3. - Travis Kelce, Zack Ertz and Golden Tate. Thank you.
