NFL Week 11
- Thread starter mrpackerguy
- Start date
Colts bounce back in Dallas. 27-17.
Denver gets pants-ed by the Chargers at Denver. Giants throughly kill Jacksonville. Cincy blows out New Orleans at home to make their "feel good" season feel less good.

Pittsburgh finally heads back out on the road, to play the Browns. With all the losses on defense today, I'm not 100% confident this is an easy win. I'll have to wait until later in the week for an injury update.

I'm not even going to try to predict a score other than to say the Colts will win by 1 pt or more!abark000 said:
They don't always make it look pretty but somehow they have been managing to pull out the wins.Go Colts!
Even if the bills had made that FG yesterday, there was 8 minutes left, which is almost too much time for Manning to connect to Harrison/Wayne 3 times for 40 yard plays or whatnot 
The Colts actually have a really easy schedule the rest of the way, but I doubt they will try for 16/0 just like they didn't last year, and opt to rest their starters instead.
As for the Packers, anything is possible if the freakin Jets can manage it

I think of it like this. The Bills knew that only giving him the short pass would limit Peyton. That and the fact that he just came off of two straight Sundays of career days. Outgunning Jake the Snake having a career day and then fooling Bellicheck and Brady into trying to keep up.
He needs to save some perfection for the post-season, why just waste it on a non-divisional opponent that they play every 2-3 years.
About pulling out hard wins, that is the main difference between last year and this year. Last year they were tested by Cincy and that's about it. This year; Titans, Broncos, Pats, Bills, Jets, Giants, and slightly by the Jags. They have learned to win the tough games with defense built around Bob Saunders while Bob Saunders was hurt, and with an offense minus one Edge. I think all is well in Indy.

Going by opponent record, yes. But everyone of those teams has legitimate chance to grab a win. Cincy proved they can put up 40 points pretty easily against a defense a hell of lot better than the Colts (I believe they put up 38 against the Colts last year in a loss). Tennessee was one missed field goal from beating the 2nd best defense in the league (They were also 2 points from beating the Colts at home earlier this year). With the Jags' season in the toilet, the only thing can do is try to eliminate home field advantage. That and they haven't been an easy win for the last three games. Houston, well they just swept the Jags.
On paper, yeah they are all winnable games, but anything can happen.
Well obviously anything can happen. Otherwise it wouldn't be football Like me going 7 and 8 so far in picks for week 10..... Which makes the 3rd straight week of less than 10 picks right in a row after 7 straight of only 1 or 2 wrong... and leaves me trailing my picks pool by about 13 points now... SUPER

I'm sorry but there is no way the Chargers are takin the AFC west. Broncos played a poor game against Oakland , but that means nothing. The media can talk Tomlinson up all they want, but he'll get shut down. Denver won't make the same mistakes against San Diego that they made against Indy. Oh yeah, and Champ Bailey is gonna pick Rivers again and again , and again.
The Steelers should beat the Browns pretty easily as long they keep up the offensive rhythm that they showed against New Orleans. On the defensive end, I'm just hoping that Polamalu and DeShea will be able to return...Ty Carter made some nice plays on forced fumbles yesterday, but he's barely half the player that Troy is.

Just like how he was going to pick off Peyton? The Donkeys didn't do that great of a job stopping Joe Addai (just under a 100 yard day) and he isn't in the same startosphere as Ladanian, yet. Better have an extra six-pack handy to drown your Sunday sorrows (when you are 21 of course).

Just cause the Chargers are going to beat Indy (again), doesn't mean they are going to beat the Broncos.
If you want me to be a homer, then I'll say : Champ gets 39 interceptions and John Lynch gets 54 tackles. Not to mention Javon Walker's 999 yards , each pass for a touch down.

Any other season, I agree with you.
Not this year - this year, Sean Peyton is royally P!$$ED about losing a game that was theirs to win at the end of the first half (anyone that doesn't see that didn't watch the game) because of stupid mental mistakes (poor ball security on offense, linebackers and safetys out of position on run defense) and drills the guys to death about it this week - add that to the fact that they are a team with actual pride that EXPECTS to win, and you can bet that if they don't beat Cincy, it ain't no blowout.

I'm not. I pick the Pack every week. I can be the eternal optimist can't I? That was fun yesterday watching the expressions on Sharper, Longwell and Bevel's faces after the game.cheezewiz said:

If the Chargers beat Indy again, they will have already taken care of the Donkeys and will be playing Indy in the AFC Championship game as they aren't on their schedule at all.
Honestly, I hope Indy doesn't face San Diego at all. They are probably the best complete team in the NFL. Rivers makes rookie mistakes and Marty loves his Martyball, but they are consistent. The only thing Indy has done consistently is march the ball down the field when it counts. I think most would say that their clock management is the best in the league.
