I didn't look it up, but I believe it's better than 0-5

Edit: OK, looked it up, that's 5-0, a significant difference

The ending sucked. It would have been epic if it just ended right after RG3 said 'sup'.

That QB talking trash thing was great. Thanks for sharing.

I missed that the Cards game was on already, until Xek posted. Even with a 55 minute lead I couldn't get that one right.

Probably should just toss that one out and add in another Sun/Mon game.

Grump, that link is genius.

Thanks, I'll fix.

The play of the Arizona tackles was brutal to watch.

The Finnegan blitz on the final red zone 4th down was targeted at Bobbie Massie and he sure did miss it. Finnegan didn't declare until the last moment, and Massie got wrapped up in picking up the stunt. That's a tricky NFL-level protection to have to pick up. St. Louis kept that blitz in their back pocket for just the right occasion.

*Legion*: Missed my picks last week as well. 1st page.

Chargers easy WIN
Seahawks not all that close LOSE
Redskins super close WIN
49ers easy WIN
Texans in a laffer. WIN

That's 4-1.
Maybe you should have used Python?

Also, no more Thursday games please? Unless the thread gets started on Tuesday or Wednesday?

Anyway, this week:

Rams (I guess I'll take the loss )
Steelers
Saints
Vikings
Bengals

Ha. The problem is that I haven't finished the script yet. I tallied up over lunch and clearly I over-eagerly scrolled past a few. Like I said, I've been out of it this week.

wouldn't it just be easier to replace the Thursday night game with a different sunday game? Just sayin

Did you really switch your pick to the Rams after the game?

Jolly Bill and tboon, your week 4 votes and overall standings are corrected.

I will endeavor to get the thread up earlier, but I plan to avoid Thursday night games anyway.

Cardinals at Rams... bzzzzt
Eagles at Steelers
Chargers at Saints
Titans at Vikings
Dolphins at Bengals

I edited my comment to ask if it would be easier to replace the thursday game, since everyone was posting picks mid game.
Also, the edit was made during the game, not after it. It was right after the kickoff of the second half. Besides, why the question? Did we not say this pick was getting tossed out due to the timing of the new thread?

I think he said the pick was now extra credit or something.

Anyway, Grump, that link was comedy genius! The Russell Wilson line had me rolling.

Just thought it was odd. I was amused earlier when I saw guys, including you, picking the Cards when they were already down 7-3. So I was surprised that you now had the the Rams.

But yeah, even though I picked it, I don't mind tossing the pick, since it was such short notice. I appreciated Legion not doing Thursday games. I was glad to see he did that on purpose and that this week was just a mistake.

Of course, the one week I'm late, there's a Thursday game. Though, I will say the thread wasn't created until 3:30pm yesterday. So now I'm going to have to find a way to prove I picked the Rams:

Gah. Didn't realize I picked the Thu night game, I had been avoiding that.

We'll make that an extra credit pick.

I was out sick half of this week so I'm a little out of it.

I vote that if you picked the Thur night game correctly it would negate a loss you had on Sunday.. but if you picked it incorrectly then it didnt count against you.

That's a reasonable way to do it. If no one has a problem with it, I'm fine with that.

Sounds good to me.
