I haven't watched any of the games today. I just saw Cutler get dropped for his 7th sack of the first half. sheesh....
@JPB,
At the half the count was 9 and almost a 10th sack.
Fast fwd: With 5:30 to go in the game, NYG 10 to Chi 3; however, Jacobs from Gints was sprinting for a sure TD when Chic from behind punched the ball out of his hands at the 1-yd-line to recover possession.
Man I lost track, but somehow NYG got the ball back and scored with 0:30 to go. Wow, all these games I've watched have been close today. Wonder what is going on?
@Ragman,
Just a minor delay in getting that touchdown.
Giants - Chicago
What an ugly game.
@edgarblythe,
Yup. Cutler folded like a cheap napkin after that hit, and the Bears looked terrible.

Speaking of folding like a cheap napkin...
We are on target as a group to having our worst week yet. I think I see us finishing with a correct pick percentage of around 52%.
We have tended to be an egalitarian bunch here. Most players would win our weekly prize once in the course of a 17-week season. Someone might win twice.
This week Ragman is in the running to win for the 3rd time out of 4. Bully.
He and JPB are at 9-4 going into tonight's game. He has Miami while JPB is picking NE. There are a few players at 8-5 but they cannot win.
Alex will not finish last. Region and George are 4-9 and have NE while Edgar, also 4-9, has Miami.
@realjohnboy,
actually a very expensive and very finely woven napkin of silk/cotton and of sufficient denier, would fold much more easily than some cheap piece of muslin cotton or cotton terry.
Half time. Miami 7, NE 6.
Bedtime. Pats look like they will win.
@realjohnboy,
Well, I got THAT one wrong..
G'night.
@ossobuco,
(that was the best game i ever slept thru...)
@Region Philbis,
I lost on my ticket. I picked Washington over Philly with 6 points. Hows that for coming close!!
@George,
ayuh, dozed off when it was 7-6 them.

Then there was Chung blocking a punt, blocking a field goal, and
intercepting a pass in the same game. Don't know if that's a record,
but it certainly was fun to watch (if you're a Pats fan, anyway).
Good win for the Patriots.
But it was a dismal week for the players here. As a group we correctly picked in a mere 50.7% of the games. It was our worst week in what has turned out to be 4 bad weeks.
Congratulations to JPB for winning Week #4. She finished with a nice 10-4 record.
CoastalRat, Spendius and Ragman came in at 9-5. Tico, Jespah, Mysteryman, Liontamerx and Cowdoc managed to go 8-6. McGentrix missed picking one game and went 8-5.
Alex, Panzade, Ms Cowdoc, AndyClubber, Osso and EhBeth broke even at 7-7. That was a big improvement for Alex.
Cyclo, Fbaezer, Lmur and Rhys stumbled in at 6-8 followed by George, Region and Johnboy at 5-9.
Edgar, who won Week #2 with a record of 11-5, reversed course finishing at 4-10.
The best ESPN guy, like JPB, went 10-4 while the worst finished at 7-7.
@realjohnboy,
I wonder if anyone has invented a fantasy football dartboard...
@George,
I was certainly glad to be busy during that timeframe.
who the hell is Chung...?
