Thanks, **imthjckaz**! **Montfort** - I just calls 'em like I sees 'em. I am starting to worry about that Redskins pick, I hope George isn’t rusty. I see that the Raiders are nicely dinged up too, hope that doesn’t screw up that pick as well. ---

**Gazoo picks I like:** Ravens 17 at Bengals 6 Bills 24 at Patriots 20 Cowboys 23 at Eagles 17 (Concussion-boy also has a mangled back!) Colts 27 at Bears 24 Giants 20 at Browns 0 Steelers 10 at Titans 27 Buccaneers 17 at Falcons 13 Redskins 30 at Cardinals 10 49ers 17 at Saints 20 Chargers 20 at Seahawks 13 Panthers 10 at Rams 35 Vikings 35 at Packers 30 Chiefs 20 at Raider 23 OT My only comments: (1) the Steelers, not the Bears, will make it close (but still lose); (2) the Saints could win their _fifth straight game_. Can they do that? Is that legal? (No, seriously, I like them.) (3) Yes, the Seahawks really _are_ that bad. (4) The Seahawks and Chargers scored 34 and 31 against the Rams. The Panthers can manage 20; everyone else has! **OTOH:** Dolphins 21 at Lions 13 Broncos 24 at Jets 27 Dolphins at Lions - gawd, I hate the Lions…I just can’t figure them out. But this just _feels_ like one of those games where they’ll be too sticky to handle, yuhknowwhutimean? I’ll take the Lions. Broncos at Jets - the Broncos are coming back from the bye week rested and well, and still pissed at themselves for losing to the Bungles. I gotta like 'em. ---

Freakin’ Redskins!! How does your running back _alone_ outgain the entire other team and you LOSE!!?? Boy, the record is going to take a hit this week. Bears, Cardinals, Eagles, Panthers, Broncos, Seahawks… ---

Should have changed your pick on the Bears once you saw the reports out of practice. It’s a team now, not a showcase for “Hollywood” McNown. Let’s hear it for Miller! Did a great job keeping the game going and running plays. Is he tthe greatest? Hell, no. But he’s a much more capable player than McNown. Here’s hoping we keep Miller in for as long as possible before Jauronstedt tosses his pet quarterback back in the fray. ---

Cold, rain and wind… Should be a beautiful night for Football in the NFC Norris. (Not quite as good as the Bears on Halloween that year…but a good night all the same) As Gazoo’s record falls another notch…. Sorry Skins fans but we did openly taunt him prior to miss number 2 by your boy Heppner. What happened with Conway anyway?? Push left, pull right or is that pull left, push right… I always get that wrong. Go Pack!!! Crosses fingers for the evening… ---

I’ve reached the conclusion: as long as Norv is coaching the Redskins, they cannot wih the Super Bowl. After the season, it’ll be time to dump him and get a real coach. ---

A botched field goal, then, a botched pass attempt when the holder should’ve just spiked the ball, then a ricochet circus catch that should’ve been an interception… and the Vikes are 7-2. Oy gevalt. ---

Wow, wow, wow! What an ending! Oh well, another loss for the week, but a fantasy win and a Pack win - I’ll take it. **Sledman** - Conway (Redskins former Kicker) is injured, I believe they cut him too. I predict the Redskins will not win again in week 11! ---

Gazoo - I’d like to put in a request for week 12? Pick the Rams over the Skins, please. CLEARLY, they only win when you pick against them. If you don’t, I’m coming out there and beating you up. Thanks. 🙂 And Satan? HUSH!!! 😃 ---

CLEARLY, they only win when you pick against them. \*\* Them’s fightin’ words Falcon. Apparently you and I have some trash-talking to do before Sunday. We’re even making it easy on you this week - no Kurt Warner and no Marshall Faulk - and you still think you’re team can’t win unless Gazoo uses his magical powers? The 'Skins must suck worse than I originally thought.😉 ---

First off, game’s in two weeks, hon. Skins have a bye this weekend. Second, oh, you’re gonna lose regardless! No Warner, no Faulk, Darryl Green comes back that week for the 'Skins…you’re going DOWN, Crunchy!!! _evil laugh_ I just don’t want Gazoo to jinx us, is all. 😃 ---

Most times they are back in a couple weeks. He must have pissed someone in the organization off. So how about it **Falcon**? What is the story behind the story? Oh and before I forget… **Bottle of Smoke…** Shame on you for ever doubting the power of the Green and Gold in a Divisional game. You must now perform penance. Recite for us the words to \*\*Go You Packers, Go, Go! \*\* ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Sledman \* > **I knew he got hurt and they cut him but it seems odd to cut your starting kicker because he got hurt…** I also thought it was against the League’s agreement with the players’ union to cut _anyone_ because of injury. Isn’t that why Todd Peterson is suing the Seahawks?
