-If the Giants look good by game 9, they’re done. But if things are on the rocks, watch out! (Actually, I’d like to say that about any NFC contender . . . the Giants, Packers, or SF, if they’re 7-7 in November, but just seem to get everything put together, then watch.)

-I am continually flabbergasted at how the Chargers keep decimating their team. The ONLY reason Turner and Smith still have their jobs is because the rest of the division is weak. Cripes, if Seattle was still in the AFC West, they’d kick SD’s ass!

-It is of the opinion of many Steeler fans that if Big Ben isn’t injured and running for his life, then the offense isn’t working.
Although I can’t agree with this logically, it somehow makes sense. And I hate it.

-I think Russell Wilson will do just fine. I’m just as excited to see the Seattle D, which is getting hyped up to be in the top 5.

-You know what would be pretty awesome? San Francisco 3rd and goal, wait, what? Frank Gore, Brandon Jacobs, and LaMichael James all in a row behind Smith. Who the hell is he handing off to? No one. Pass to Vernon Davis for the touchdown.

-I think the Dirty Birds will edge out the Saints this year. And it will probably come on the last game of the season. And I think the Bucs will finish over Carolina.

-A surprise pick: Dallas wins their division with a 9-7 record. If you think this is contrary to what I typed above, well, yes it is.

-I’m a Browns fan, and I feel sorry for Arizona. It doesn’t get sadder than that.
