paul carruthers Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 I really have an uneasy feeling about picking the Colts for this Sunday. Losing Robert Mathis and they have no running game to speak of--but on the other hand, the Eagles looked like total dogs for one half against the Jaguars. But, as I like to say, when in doubt, go with the home team--even if I don't feel good about it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul carruthers Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 Btw, how many strikes has Roger Goodell had against him during his tenure--a few off the top of my head: Bounty gate, spygate, the labor strike, the scab referees, and now the Ray Rice debacle...

Only the first half vs Jacksonville prevented me from taking the Eagles. And I still do not feel on bit good about picking the Colts. Will likely regret it. No matter which way I go I feel i will get it wrong. So what are they saying down there about the trip to Buffalo? Should be a real fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul carruthers Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 I'm just hoping the Fins have a better showing this year in Buffalo than last--one thing I think I can count on, no snow in Ralph Wilson stadium.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redrum Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Fuck Ray Rice. Asshole. Hope his face is used as punching bag in prison. Hope he's not related to Jerry Rice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To my knowledge the games are all sold out. I know this Miami game has been sold out since early July. Buffalo has good fans. I cannot say they fill the stadiums in sunny Miami. Even on a freezing day I believe we draw better. Just like the Browns. Denver its impossible to get tickets. Waiting list for 3-4 years. Of course they have been winning but that was the case going back to the 70's. and Denver to my knowledge has the most expensive tickets. I think Dallas is up there also.

LedZeppfan77 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Well Derek Jeter will be taking his last trip to Camden Yards tomorrow and Sunday night will take his final at bat there. Probably one of a few modern day Yankees I do not hate The other being Thurman Munson. And the manger is ok by me also. That is about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul carruthers Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 I wonder if Roger Goodell ends up losing his job over this Ray Rice debacle. If so, he would have more cause than anybody to say "Fuck Ray Rice." And something tells me I should be worried about Walter's Cowboys on the road vs. the Titans. Hmmm....

Walter Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Not sure about a lot of my picks this week....Buffalo/Miami, NE/Minn, Dallas/Ten - tough calls. I could've just as easily gone Miami, Minn, and Tennessee. I have a feeling Tennessee is gonna throw all over the Cowboys secondary. Peterson is gonna run all over NE, can NE score enough to win? Whatever.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul carruthers Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 Welcome to the NFL for the last decade or so--you even breathe on the Quarterback & it's a flag.

I can smell the same fate in the Indy game. What am I nuts? Don't answer that. We all took Indy. You know what that means.

paul carruthers Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 ^^ Well, the thing is you never know with the NFL. I mean, who expected the Steelers to score only 6 points last night--and you never know if the Eagles team that took the first half off against the Jaguars will show up in Indy. If Chad Henne could light them up, imagine what Andrew Luck could do to them. At any rate, I'm not changing my picks--I learned my lesson last week after Tampa and coach Lovie Dovie screwed me over... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not feel good about taking Jacksonville over Wash either but I am not impressed with Washinton's first game. For some reason every year I have been lights out on opening day. I mean, I picked 5 upsets straight up last week. Now I will probably go right down the tubes. I just hope I am right on the Bills game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 The Vikes sat him out this week. Good for them! Don't know if you posted this yet or not, but Scandrick and Welker are both off their suspensions and Josh Gordon is only out 8 weeks, instead of the entire season.

So much for New England getting beat again. Well I guess you never know but its got to be a huge distraction on top of losing your star player.
