NFL 2011 Week 5

I just looked at the Seahawks injury report for this week and just like last season, I'm going to start calling for the firing of the training and medical staff. It sure seems like every single year the Seahawks are one of the most injured teams in the league and the medical staff doesn't even have Hasselbeck's back to point at for the excessive numbers.

Has there ever been a case where a team publicly cleaned house of their medical staff? Is it possible for the Seahawks to steal the Phoenix Suns medical staff since they're not doing anything this year?

Did the Bengals do it after a bunch of people got staph infections? Okay, mentioning the Bengals is a poor choice, but it's what came to mind.

That was the Browns, not the Bengals. Different Ohio-based pile of suck.

lol One of those useless teams.

Al Davis has died. For all the jokes at his expense and the terrible state that franchise has been in for the last decade, the man was one of the true builders of the sport. There'd be no NFL as we know it without him. Damn.

Whoa.

I liked this comment:

Al is running a 4.24 forty yard dash somewhere right now

He shaped the modern nfl. And in a lot of good ways.
Lets go Raideeeerrrrrrsssssss!

This.

He might have hung on a bit too long but this is absolute truth. For his achievements and contributions to the sport, he got a lifetime mulligan from Raider Nation.

I had been wondering why no team had signed David Garrard.

I guess we have an answer now: the guy doesn't really want to play football.

I really wouldn't want to be the Houston Texans tomorrow.

Damn Al Davis.
Even in death he screws up my picks.

Like with the US Women this summer, I hate to be the team on the other side of destiny/an emotionally needed victory.

That said, this is the pros.

RIP, Mr. Davis.

Saints vs. Panthers: Saints. Too much talent.

Buccaneers vs. 49ers: Philly has an offensive coach as their defensive coordinator, so that win means practically nothing to me. Bucs. Changing to the 49ers. Bucs are on a short week.

Packers vs. Falcons: Falcons. I may change this one the more I think on it. While the Packers can put up points, they're not doing a great job of stopping people, except Denver who suck terribly.

Bears vs. Lions: I think the home crowd is gonna be off its rocker in this game. Lions.

Wildcard: The rookie QB extravaganza - Bengals vs. Jaquars. The Bengals also have a receiving corps. Bengals.

David Garrard tells NFL teams: “If you want me, prove it”

The Raiders website just posted a video tribute to Al Davis.

I think this Chiefs fan picking the Raiders to win might have done him in. I'm truly sorry.

Picked this up off FB:

"We don't take what the defense gives us; we take whatever the hell we want."- Al Davis

I waiting for Al Davis' death to be linked to Steve Jobs'. Thanks, Deadspin.

That's a fantastic quote! But go Texans! Off to a good start.

Saints
Bucs
Packers
Lions

Chargers over Broncos

Whoa, Raiders run a trick play! Didn't work, but it should have. Don't see much of that in the pros.

No flag after a Raider punches Matt Schaub in his facemask out of bounds. I love how the refs protect QBs in this league.

The Vikings are up 28-0 in the first quarter. Watching them lose this one will be hilarious.

There has never been a manlier-sounding combination in sports than "Curtis and Pierre".

The one week I could watch an entire 49ers game at home, and I'm in D.C for a wedding. I hope my friends appreciate the sacrifice I'm making.

I'm pretty sure TV guy just called him Curtis Manning.

There's got to be a way to work Danieal Manning into that one.

Wait a year or two and you'll be able to work with current Aggie running back Christine Michael.

Think the Saints and Panthers don't like each other?
