2015 NFL PickUm Game

OK. help me, lawdy, I need to make a change on 2 picks:

Switch me to
ATL over NYG-men
DET over MN Vikes

Ok, Ok, I'll switch to New England.

Damned hamstring tilted my sense of possibility.

Who's got a hamstring issue?

ahh, ok...it's LeSean McCoy

Not that I know how good or poor he is so far, just that it made me flip the switch.. he'd just gotten back after a hamstring issue.

Now watch the Bills win anyway.

What just happened?

They were tied with 36 seconds to go, and I assumed overtime soon so got up to get some mineral water, came back, there had been a fumble and touchdown buy 27 seconds to go. Point after, good. Confusion by Chiefs after that, game over.

I'd been watching it on the NFL .com site (no tv); I watch a "gamecast", which is generally unsatisfactory; I need to look around for a better site with more readable play by play (she whines). I'll explore more during Sunday's games.

Anyway, quite a game..
Also, Peyton went back to shotgun..

Still scratching my head. Chiefs were leading 24-17 with less than ninety seconds left.

Correction - the site I was reading (at this point I don't remember which one because I was looking around at different ones) said it was a fumble, but this link says Charles had the ball stripped..

I suppose having the ball stripped is counted as a fumble, but I think of them as a little different.

One is self-immolation, the other is arson.

The following picks have been changed in my tallies:

For Ragman
* From New York Giants to Atlanta Falcons
* From Minnesota Vikings to Detroit Lions

For ossobuco
* From Buffalo Bills to New England Patriots

This leaves the Bills with no one picking them.
No one? Seriously?

JPB and panzade are apparently not participating this week.

They're vewwy, vewwy afwaid (in my best Elmer Fudd voice).

Pats are currently only at a 55% rate of confidence to win with the NFL experts. Reasonable risk-taking people might take the Bills because 70% -75% is a typical confidence rate for most NFL faves.

To state the obvious, there's Big Trouble with KC Chief's offense - particularly with their receivers and stretching the action down the field and it seems to be paralyzing. However, how they lost that game was incredible. They had only 7 attempts beyond 5 yards. That's not an NFL offense. The insane turnover adding to that, destroyed them - especially at Arrowhead Stadium.

OTOH, Broncos, in order to win consistently, will have to keep Peyton in the shotgun. Coach Kubiak is stubborn nuts. Maybe there's a blend of the two...but that might take the wisdom of Solomon to work out.

Pan picked KC for Thursday night. It's back a page or two. He posted their logo.

Thanks, Beth. I totally missed the significance of that.

Is it too late to pick the Chiefs in last nights game?
