"Vikings “win” the first Andrew Luck elimination game"

Great headline. Too bad they drafted Ponder, but that #1 spot looks mighty nice.

Well, if they have the #1 overall pick, they'll really have something to ponder, won't they.

I'll be here all week, try the veal.

The last three years, the Vikings have had six combined picks in the first two rounds. One OL (Phil "Turnstile" Loadholt), one CB, then RB, WR, TE, QB. Their offensive line has been falling apart for the last several years, and they keep drafting shiny position players. They need to draft a better front office.

Just noticed the Green Bay/Denver score.

Wow.

Aaron Rodgers is killing me in my fantasy league, but I couldn't be happier for my Packers

These Texans are for real, man! Pass the kool-aid!

Seriously, I thought they played a great game at New Orleans only to lose a close one; this week they didn't fail to finish at home against Pitt.

Now if only Andre Johnson's hammy will heal in record time...

Yeah, the dude stuck against him this week in our league made what on paper should have been all the right choices, but right now his entire team is being outscored by... Aaron Rodgers. Alone.

Oh, and belatedly, mark me down as being an extremist supporter of just having one season-long thread.

Dream. Team.

You would care what that half wit Vince Young says...

Wow.

Surely it is not surprising?

Stupid iPad double post.

No.

Surprising that Aaron Rodgers accounts for all six of Green Bay's touchdowns? Yes. Seriously, they have two rushing TD's... and Rodgers ran in both of them. That's just gross.

Wow. Arizona really knows how to lose.

Wow. I'm all for dumping on Dallas, but that game was just painful to watch. Jeez.

Oh, and it was deeply dismaying how much trouble my 'Skins had with the Rams. Deeply dismaying.

It's really amazing how good he is. Decent mobility and a laser cannon for an arm.

Unfortunately, I can't pin this loss solely on Orton. I'll give him 50% of it -- the rest is for a non-existent defense.

McDaniels. We can all still blame McDaniels.

I like comedy. I like the Jets. But I don't like the two to mix.

I knew this was going to be ugly, with our porous OLine, but come ON.

Wow that was a bad call on that Sanchez hit where they said it was a fumble not a pass. It was obviously a pass and should have been incomplete, not a run back for a touchdown. I hope Baltimore wins but that was a bad call.

This is a godawfully bad, yet entertaining game. Five TDs scored. One of them scored by an offense; one kickoff, three defensive. Sanchez is spraying the ball all over the place, Flacco looks like crap, but it's been crazy enough it's been fun to watch.

It's true. The damage that McDaniels did to Denver won't be fixed in a year.

What are the Vegas odds for the Jets/Ravens game ending before midnight PST?

2 hours for 2 quarters. This is just going to be ugly.

Is Tony Romo playing QB for both teams tonight?

Barring the Jets suddenly figuring out how to play offense, I'm about to go 5-0 with my picks. That can only mean one thing. Rat Boy needs to give us harder games to pick.

There should be a new rule where you can't pick obvious wildcards (ex. Green Bay over Seattle)

Did Tony Romo give the cold shoulder to Jerry Jones?

Perhaps picking the wild card against the spread?

Please, God, no! I'm getting waxed as it is.

So, how about those Flyers?

I don't, but that's because it makes me feel smart when I keep picking winners.

Everybody point and laugh at Jacksonville.

And, yes, that was the Panthers rolling up 500+ total yards against the Bears.

Chicago fans, you need to start building that statue to Devin Hester right about now. Chop, chop.

P.S.: 16-for-42 for Gabbert at home? How do you spin that one?

That's 20 more passes than should have been attempted.

Edit: Note: MJD fantasy owner.

Edit: Edit: Better passer rating than Flacco or Sanchez.
