I'm a little surprised many "experts" are picking Buffalo over KC this weekend but there is history there. And its a lot of pressure to remain undefeated when looking at a big time game against Denver after a bye. Its a classic trap game for KC at Buffalo.

I'm not surprised at all. The Bills are better than their record suggests and the Chiefs are worse than their record suggests. Also, the Bills have been playing tough at home this season and the Chiefs have a terrible record in Buffalo.

I dunno if I have enough hate left in my system for Pittsburgh VS New England. I mean, I was so emotionally invested in those games between Baltimore and Oakland.... oh wait.... there it is, found it:

^ you think your steelers will win? with boston's offense struggling and pitt's defence, it's not a foregone conclusion.

reminder that wyld 4 x and i have a bet on the game:

honestly, since I'm a betting man I would be more comfortable with my money on the Pats than Steelers

objectivity is a trait I wish I didn't have, as a sports fan. can really bum you out when you let it take over

hate. if the Steelers win I am in a good mood for the rest of the week

I'm not confident or comfortable with this. Brady has been too good against the Steelers over the last decade. If it was at Pitt, I'd buy into it but they are coming off a poor performance on the west coast and have to play in the late afternoon game against a rowdy crowd pumped up after the Sox's title win. The X factor is how the Patsies' receivers play and can Bell put forth a solid effort running effort if the Steelers D doesnt allow for big plays. I envision NE playing well at home with an emotional boost of confidence thanks to the Sox.

Right now, I'm numb about this game. I will probably rally before game time to get invested in it but all I'm thinking about is that 2-5 record.... :|
 
i read that the rams couldn't score TDs in the RZ vs seattle

didn't take long to wish bradford was still able to walk, kid was money in the RZ for the first time in his career

i feel asleep moments before kick off and woke up like 15 minutes after game ended

dealt with it, moved on, inching closer to next season
 
I'm pretty sick of this constant complaining about bullying in America. Now we have an offensive tackle deserting his team because of bullying. A MOTHERFUCKING 320 POUND GORILLA OF A HUMAN BEING!!! We are doomed. This once-mighty nation is doomed.

He should be cut. YOU NE3VER DESERT YOUR BROTHERS! Cut him, and don't pay him another penny.
 
I also hate how American media has sensationalized bullying. it's such bullshit! every young man, no matter how bad a mamma-jamma got bullied on when he was a little boy. it's how vicious little boys operate - and it's how said young man takes a personal stand against bullies and their targeting that truly makes that young man transform into a man. I was a big kid, but I remember standing up for like my brother, and it still is one of my most proud accomplishments ever. it taught me how to stand up and not take shit from lesser people

while jonathan martin shouldnt have ditched the team, if they didnt treat him like shit maybe he would have actually given a fuck about his "brothers". the dolphins locker room is a bunch of highschoolers. what a shitty team on and off the field.

The national media has exaggerated the story. Martin was not specifically picked on, he just happened to be the last guy to sit down, and whoever that happened to be was going to have that joke pulled on them. There was no way of knowing he would take it so personally.


Anyways, I agree with Axl and 23536 about bullying. It sucks, but it is a natural, normal thing. Parents need to start teaching their own kids to respond to it, rather than expecting the world to conform to their standards.
 
talked to some bengals fans recently who were waaay too high on their team after that win vs the jets.

This loss ought to bring them back down to earth.
 
Random thought of the day.

I think 10 yards is too harsh for a holding call, 5 yards would be more appropriate.

Absolutely. A holding penalty is a drive killer, and they could probably call it on every play if they looked hard enough.
 
If they were going to downgrade it to 5yds they would have to throw in a loss of down since holds are o linemen stealing sacks from d linemen.

because the reward for getting away with a hold is usually game changing

gotta instill a little fear in the risk

but i say just get rid of the holding flag entirely
just no blocks in the back, tripping, tackling or face masking

they'll adjust
