Is there any team in the NFL that has a bigger revolving door of the QBs than the Oakland Raiders? Cleveland possibly but I mean, they've had so many different QBs ever since Rich Gannon called it a career and they haven't made the playoffs in quite some time.

Clay Matthews broke his thumb against the Lions yesterday. It could be season ending if it needs surgery... If that happens, there goes our 5th ranked rushing defense. Actually, there goes our defense in general.

More tough picks this week. Saints vs Patriots really made me think. I ended up going with New England because they're tough at home but I could change. Also Washington at Dallas. And with the Steelers at Jets, will the Steelers finally show up? Difficult to pick a few this week

I'm still baffled I'm in the lead and I was only the one who got the Ravens pick right....

That was one of the games I was torn on. I figured the Ravens were so up and down this season, that I didn't want to take the risk. Turns out I should've.

The Packers' linebackers took huge blows against the Lions. Clay Matthews had surgery on his broken thumb, and while it's not worst case scenario, he is still expected to miss more than a month. Robert Francois, another linebacker, tore his ACL and is out for the season, and Brad Jones' hamstring is not looking good. That's two starters and a solid backup who are out. We need some people to step up and keep this physical play going.

Ahmad Bradshaw was placed on IR and will miss the rest of the season. Good thing the Colts traded for Richardson.

I don't get the NFL sometimes. They're trying to force NFL teams to be on Hard Knocks, which many teams do not want because of unnecessary publicity and distractions. They've added a 3rd, yes, a 3rd game in London, which I see no logic except the dollar bills and the Pro Bowl unis, well, take a wild guess which colleges they modeled after for those jerseys.

Hard Knocks - NFL just trying to gain publicity, but a lot of NFL teams don't want publicity. I look at the Packers and think how the only way they'll ever be on is if they're forced on. Coaches typically just want to focus on the team and keep everything as secret as possible.

London - Makes sense, actually. Not from a player or coach or travelling standpoint, but it would bring lots of money into the league, which could ultimately expand the salary cap. Londoners want a team in their country. There is a hardcore fan base for American football, and they cheer for teams they have no connection to - imagine if they had a home team. I'm not for this idea, though.

Pro Bowl Uniforms - Ugly. The NFL is trying to go college, and there's a reason I prefer professional football to college football. What happened to the traditional uniforms?

Expanding the playoffs - If you don't know, they have been talking about expanding the playoffs to allow more teams. This would not happen until probably 2016 at the earliest. Now my thoughts... Dumb. The playoffs are good as is. 12 of 36 teams make it. I don't know how they would work the playoffs with more teams, but the playoff teams are a glorified group; if you expand it, we will be getting 7-9 and 8-8 teams in the playoffs annually. That team is not a playoff team. Even if they get hot, it's almost like they are being rewarded for being average, and the better teams are being punished for being better. Just doesn't make sense to me. The only explanation would be... money.

Hard Knocks news:

Teams would escape selection under the following conditions:

— It made the playoffs within the previous two seasons.

— It is operating with a new coach.

— It appeared as the featured team on Hard Knocks within the previous 10 years.

But still stupid.
