I sarcastically asked my best friend if he wanted to trade for AP in a text. He apparently hasn't heard about him being deactivated and took it seriously. I'm considering using this to my advantage and actually trading him... :devilish:

Just submitted my picks. My tough ones for this week are... SD/BUF, BAL/CLE, SF/ARI, KC/MIA, CHI/NYJ. Last season some of these picks would be easy.

some the picks are hard.. because I just can't see some teams actually pulling it off for 3 game straight..

Buffalo
Dallas
Houston
etc

They usually find a way to blow it... yet they are playing teams they should win against. It's like the law of averages... when are they gonna strike.

I agree, but Dallas is 1-1 right now. They got destroyed by the 49ers in week 1.

Yes.. I normally discount any week 1 performance. The preseason just isn't what it used to be.

I didn't mean to infer they necessarily were 2-0 - but what their identity was :)

Interesting you brought up the preseason thing. I agree that week 1 is a terrible way to measure what a team is really made of. I would actually say the first month is usually a warm-up period. I think teams start finding their true identities in November.

The changes in practices, how much they can practice, how they practice, etc really hinder how effective the preseason is (IMO).

I would love for someone to do the research on injuries and trend it vs the changes in practices, etc.

This is pretty awesome. Amid all the bad publicity that some players have been getting recently, it's nice to hear a story like this.

Love this story! This is probably indicative of the character of most NFL players, unfortunately it's the bad ones that get all the attention. I had no idea Paul Kruger only had one kidney, it certainly doesn't seem to bother him at all.

Congrats to you on your O's btw, I know it's been a long time. Everyone I know is so excited!

Thanks. We're all super excited here. My dad actually got tickets last night in case they clinched it, so he was there. We are all super excited in my house. This hasn't happened since I was 2 and has never happened in my brother's lifetime, so it's a first for us after supporting a losing team for most of our lives.
