Maybe I Should Just Flip a Coin??

Not going to Make 6 Unless They Pick it Up

Week 3 of the NFL is now in the books, and what a week it was...wait, it wasn't very interesting? Damn.

We're about two weeks away from knowing exactly how this NFL season is going to play out, but for now, it's still anybody's guess. Listed below is my commentary on each game and the pool results for the week. Needless to say, this is going to be one of the drop weeks for a lot of folks.

NYJ 28, Buffalo 20: I managed to catch the end of this game, and all I can say is that watching J.P. Losman throw the football makes me want to vomit. On two consecutive checkdown swing passes, he threw the ball so high that, even when jumping, his running back could not make the catch. This was during a final drive to tie the game, mind you. Terrible.

Green Bay 31, Detroit 24: The mind-numbing caricature that is Brett Favre lives for another week. BF finally performs well in the Detroit dome (surprising everyone) and Detroit collapses (surprising no one).

Indy 21, Jacksonville 14: Indy finds a way to win against a pretty tough competitor (although J'ville helped them out as well). Indy again looks good for 13 or 14 wins and a complete chokejob in the playoffs. Same old, same old.

Miami 13, Tennessee 10: I told you the spread on this game was way too high. When two teams of such enormous suckitude face each other, a point spread of 11 is ridiculous. By squeaking past the Titans, do you think Daunte got himself a free lap dance? Time in the Champagne Room?

Chicago 19, Minnesota 16: now that's the Rex I remember. The Bears defense is good enough to win 12 games this year, so Chicago will be fine, but no Bears fan can really feel comfortable knowing Rex is captaining the good ship Lovie.

Cincinnati 28, Pittsburgh 20: The Steelers (by which I mean Big Ben) gave this game to the Bengals. It was inexcusable, and now the Steelers are looking at two 3-0 teams in their own division. %$#&.

Carolina 26, Tampa Bay 24: For all of those people who predicted Carolina to win the NFC...it is not happening. They are not good. TB is even worse, and they lost their QB to a ruptured spleen (ouch).

Washington 31, Houston 15: as obvious a call as I have ever made, even with the way the Skins have played this year. Look...Washington is going 8-8. They will beat the teams they are supposed to and lose to anyone good. They have no downfield passing ability and Portis is pretty dinged up. Houston, on the other hand, has no hope whatsoever. It would be better if they just stopped playing football (if you can call it that).

Baltimore 15, Cleveland 14: Thank you to the Browns for not only allowing the Ravens to come back and win, but also playing just well enough to f*ck up the spread. Well done, dogpound. Maybe next time, someone from Cleveland could just take a crap in my Cheerios and be done with it. Mmmm, fiber.

St. Louis 16, Arizona 14: Did not watch this game, mercifully. Looks like Kurt Warner will start another week for the Cardinals. I guess Leinert was busy getting someone else pregnant. If there was ever a guy who should know to use a condom, wouldn't it be a Trojan??

Philadelphia 38, San Fran 24: Eagles rolled pretty well in this one. The defense needs to learn a little more of a killer instinct when it is up instead of allowing the opposition to get cheap scores at the end. The Niners are a 5-11 team. Just good enough to screw themselves out of anyone who could really help in the draft.

Seattle 42, NYG 30: Nowhere near this close. Seattle is the most mystifying team in the NFL. I simply cannot figure them out.

Denver 17, New England 7: I told you NE was done. Jake freaking Plummer just took it to the Patriots.

Saints 23, Atlanta 3: Good for the Saints (even though the game was clearly fixed).

Pool results:

Questionable Commentary: 41
CU Lions: 25
Clown Hater: 16
Geaux Irish: 10
SpragueND: 0 (no submission)
Festering in Dallas: 0 (no submission)

This week: 6-6-1
Y-T-D Results: 16-16-1

If we were wagering $100 on each game (and we had to pay a $10 vig for each loss), current winnings/losings for the year: minus $160.
