They have not had an NFL-caliber QB since the 90s, their "GM" is a bug-eyed mongiloid, and their owner is a little twit. This magnificent combo has led to constant upheaval of the coaching staff and no semblance of any plan or system whatsoever.MgoBlue-LightSpecial wrote:Can somebody explain to me how the Redskins can suck so badly, year after year?

Miami at Arizona seems to be the safest bet on the board, which means they'll probably win outright.
I'm thinking GB is going to take a cue from the Falcons and run Ryan Grant down their throats.rhymenocerous wrote: GB is my least confident game on the board, as I can see the Lions playing significantly better at home ... but I'm liking the Rogers kid in this offense enough to play them on the road.
Agree with all three of these. My card has Denver +3.BSmack wrote:The best bet on the board is the NO-WAS pickem line. Whoever came up with that was just fucking high. Take the Saints and thank me later. Even without Colston, they have plenty of firepower.
I also like Minnesota getting 2 against Indy at home. If Matt Forte is good for 100 yards against Indy's rushing D, then AP should be good for about 250.
Lastly, Denver getting 1.5 against San Diego AT HOME is a complete fucking joke. Take the Donks and laugh all the way to the bank.
Despite my clumsy wording, we're not in disagreement here.Diogenes wrote:rhymenocerous wrote:Miami at Arizona (-6)

Back away from the crack pipe.
Cardinals by 13.
If you're saying you'll take the Cards and give the points, good call.rhymenocerous wrote:Despite my clumsy wording, we're not in disagreement here.Diogenes wrote:rhymenocerous wrote:Miami at Arizona (-6)

What do I win?
1. GB over Detriot
2. NO over Wash
3. Tenn over Cin
While comparing any football team of any caliber, including Pop Warner, to Notre Dame is an insult of the highest order (at least the 'Skins earn their postseason appearances, unlike the Irish), this is pret-tay, pret-tay, pret-tay much spot on. But, ultimately, the desire to win is only a facade for Snyder, whose goal as owner of the Skins is to all but mint money at Jack Kent Cooke Stadium. Today, Forbes ranked the Skins as the second most valuable NFL franchise at $1.5 billion, right behind the 'Boys at $1.6 billion, I believe. Snyder didn't reach that level on accident, he has a natural proclivity to profit off service lapses. See: Not financing charter buses to the stadium after the FTA shut down the Metro buses there and jacking up the prices of cash lots across the Beltway, as well as not showing out-of-town scores during games and selling the hand-held Sunday Ticket replay TVs as an alternative and creating high-priced "fast lanes" to enter the stadium as an alternative to staffing more ticket takers at the gates to ease congestion and wait times. Did I even mention how the Skins love to boast "Get on the Season Ticket Waiting List"? Well, that's for you serfs. If you have the beans to join the Tailgate Club at $2,500 a pop or sign a 6-yr contract for Club, Lodge, or Dream seats, you can have season tickets whenever you choose!stuckinia wrote:They have not had an NFL-caliber QB since the 90s, their "GM" is a bug-eyed mongiloid, and their owner is a little twit.

BUT, BUT, BUT Michael Turner's 220 yards rushing was fucking EPIC, regardless of if it was against the Lions!!!!mvscal wrote:I guess they'll do whatever the fuck they feel like doing to the Lions. Don't forget Detroit also gave up a 62 yard bomb to a rookie QB on his first pass. GB has a considerably more dangerous passing attack than Atlanta.
It should be a prison style salad tossing.
you are far too faggyandgay to understand what it is....so, duck another Hurricane and be safe.Nacho wrote:1. Rumps will post something stupid

I was able to parlay it with USC -11 before the Beanie Wells announcement came out.BSmack wrote:Holy crap? Is your bookie huffing paint?Goober McTuber wrote:Agree with all three of these.

For the record, I hate you very much.ucantdoitdoggieSTyle2 wrote:If I were a betting man, I'd take Buffalo +6
Both teams have great defenses and so-so offenses. The difference is, the Jags O-line is so beat up, I expect Garrard to get harrassed all day long. I think the Bills will win a low scoring game outright. The points are a gift.
More like Zorn accidentally told Campbell to throw...wait for it...DOWNFIELD for a fucking change! Amazing what you can do when you throw downfield instead of this stupid fucking dink-and-dunk bullshit they did all last week and for 50 min today.rhymenocerous wrote:OopsieBSmack wrote:The best bet on the board is the NO-WAS pickem line.
