NFL Week 5

[citizen k]

CK's "Thank you notes"

Thank you Giants, for making the Seahawks look like a pro football team.

Anyone else think the NFL is having an off year?  None of the up and coming QBs has really caught fire yet and it seems like there's a lot of mediocrity out there right now.

Newton?  Fitzpatrick?  Stafford?

There's a lot of mediocrity every year in the NFL.  The lockout has probably put some teams back, but a lot of things are trends that have been going from last year.

I'm no Patriots fan or anything, but I'm a little unsure why they didn't just call Branch down as soon as he was touched, being on his knees and all, and before he fumbled.

Tebow is playing, so I would say that the Broncos season is officially over.

Poor Orton.  Hooray for the idiots in charge though.  Now the Raiders are pretty much guaranteed another win.

It's not too late to trade Orton to the Dolphins.

[Admiral Yi]

If San Diego holds on I only need Green Bay to cover to hit my trifecta.

[Sophie Scholl]

Tebow scores a TD via a qb keeper.  I'm loving it.  Now all the Tebowtards will demand he stay in as qb, despite him only having one completion so far for 0 yards and numerous botched snaps and underthrown passes.  Muahaha

I'm pretty happy with it so far.  And to add to Neil's reply, there's more to football than QBs.

It looks like my brother may re-hire a guy he found a job for in Denver, so I'll retire with a winning (2-1) road record.  I'll be happy to have some of my Saturdays-Sundays back, though I wouldn't mind making the Seattle trip.

I think I'll be doing the coaches box video printer for the next home game, but after that I'll be moving back to my cake job on the sideline.

I got to see The Duff today

And I got to see what has to be the Jags punter's last game

Oops

I don't know what you were thinking with that Indy pick.  They're a really bad team right now.

Have you seen KC play?

The Colts look decent last week, they were at home and I figured Painter would be able to pull it out with another week of experience.

[derspiess]

Painter and Garcon both had great fantasy stats.  Both are on my LFFL team-- but I benched both.  Cost me a bunch of points.

I've seen a little bit of KC.  They looked like a very standard bottom half of the league team to me.

Whereas the little bit of the Colts I saw last week made me think they have a decent recieving corps, two speed DEs that can't really stop the run, and absolutely nothing else.  Painter was missing everything while I was watching.
