Did Wentz toss 3 picks today? He's been on a bad stretch over the last few games...seems like his TD/INT ratio cannot be good.

Yea he tossed 3 picks, 1 TD, 36/60 for 308.

The Phily pick is starting to look much better.

i think if SD wins today it moves into the top 10.

Yep. It might be different if we need the Bengals to lose because we were fighting for a playoff spot.


It's a concept OSU fans haven't totally grasped. Maybe you do now? Had Mich. and Wisconsin been slouch teams, OSU may have been on the outside looking in today.

The only time I really root against a SEC team is when they play the Gators. There are some exceptions, such as cases where I need a team to lose to better my position.

In the end, you have to beat 'em all. In college, strength of schedule means a lot. If you lose against a really good team such as PSU, it doesn't kill you. It might have been a nail in the coffin had PSU lost 3-4 games this year.

I am glad you guys saw it play out in the Big Ten this year as it has in the SEC for a while. When you play a conference schedule that is strong week after week, a loss shouldn't kill your chances.

The Eagles run down the stretch isn't easy. Washington, NY Giants, Dallas.....can't remember the other, but it wasn't a easy game.

I think we Will have two top 10 picks.


We have lots of trade options with that 2nd pick.....either up or down. I don't want to trade what is looking like the #1 pick. No reaches, just take Garrett. It's all a gamble, but he is about as sure a bet as it gets.


When you have the #1 pick, you can't reach. It works out we need a QB but can take a DE that looks really, really special. I don't think we can pass on him.

I'm with you on no reaches, but I like Jonathan Allen better than Garret....would be okay with either though. The second 1st rounder can be the QB if they really do like Tribisky as much as rumored or another defensive stud like Hooker.

Eagles might not win another game, and we would have two top 5-7 picks...nice if we draft well.

i'm so jealous of Oakland. they did it the right way, and will be good for a decade

My wife is a Raider fan so I follow them too. You are so right on your assessment. Quality QB, who we passed on (shocker ), 2 Quality WRs, a decent O-line and a stud LB. The are fun to watch.

Oakland has the second best OL in football.

Crazy to think Thomas Rawls couldn't get playing time at Michigan.

Is it just me or does the SEA/CAR game seem to be awful long? I have been writing a paper for an economics class all day, but finally turned on football for this one as I couldn't take just staring at Microsoft Word any longer.

Kaepernick had more sacks than passing yards today.

Earl Thomas is contemplating retirement after his injury?

probably just his emotions speaking after a tough break ... tough loss for SEA

Jets looking like straight garbage on D.

Wonder if Bowles is gone after this year ...

they're awful

Decent o-line? More like the best o-line in the league (besides Dallas).

Something else I will say about the Chiefs, they have a defense as equally talented as Denvers defense was in the super bowl last year. They just need Alex Smith to not blow it.

I don't think Alex Smith is the type to "blow it." He's not a dynamic player, but he is solid. The Chiefs main problem is that they don't have enough difference makers on offense.

they're hoping tyreke hill turns into one of those types. thus far he's been very good

I think the Chiefs finally have enough guys on offense. Tyreek Hill, Jeremy Maclin, Travis Kelce, and hopefully a healthy Jamaal Charles.

Charles and Maclin have been hurt.

Kelsey is the real deal.

Hill shows potential, but is young and unproven.
