The Bills offense will futilely run up the middle at least once every three downs. There is a roughly 85% chance this will result in a gain of 3 or less yards. Eventually, we might start throwing the ball. If the defense doesn't get lit up by Bridgewater because we decide to do something about as dumb as attempting to cover Gronk with Duke Williams, we should win. But it'll be close.

I don't think there's any way Cam Newton doesn't pull a Kaepernick all over the Packers. The defense got exposed on a couple basic Tannehill options on Sunday, and Dom Capers seems incapable of containing a dual-threat quarterback. It'll probably be even worse if Lattimore doesn't play. Someone tell me I'm wrong.

The collective assholes of Arizona fans are so tightly clenched that nothing short of industrial lubricants and space aged laxatives can keep us from making GBS threads blood through Wednesday each week. Our defense may be much lauded (and lets face it, Oakland isn't going to try to run against us), but either James Jones or Andre Holmes is going to have a career day against Patrick Peterson. It'll be a potential shootout if: Fitz can repeat and someone can apply liberal amounts of stickem to John Brown's hands. Oh, and if Palmer's shoulder doesn't go back to sleep and, if so, Drew Stanton can remember what day it is.

Beckham will get his, but I think McClain and Bruce Carter can keep Donnell in check and I don't even know who else the Giants have at receiver. The real concern is whether the Cowboys can stop the run, especially if Jennings plays, since they haven't been good against the run at all this year. D line is... competent. JPP is a beast against the run even though the sack numbers aren't there like they used to be. The other WR is Rueben Randle, who has very good physical tools but is uhhh... prone to mental mistakes, to put it kindly. He is a retard. If/when he runs the correct route, he runs it badly. I wouldn't worry about him too much. Past him, Jernigan is on IR, so I actually have no idea who the 3rd wideout is. We've fallen so far from 'Deepest WR corps in the league'.

Some notes re: Saints @ Lions:quote:The Saints are now 0-3 on the road this season, with two of those games inside and the third, against Cleveland, in mild weather. They are 1-8 in their past nine away games. quote:In Sunday's 17-3 defeat of Minnesota, the Lions sacked Vikings' quarterback Teddy Bridgewater eight times. They chased and hit him more than that. quote:The New Orleans defense was supposed to be more loaded than it has been in any time in the Sean Payton-Drew Brees era. They finished fourth in yards allowed and points allowed last year, and then added Pro Bowl safety Jairus Byrd for good measure. I think we know how this game ends.

PFF grades them like 30th in the league, I dunno how much stock you put in that. We're starting a backup center and are vulnerable up the middle. The tackles are strong and have played well, though Fluker isn't a hundred percent.

You're playing the loving Jets, who cares Niners probably going to lose this week, playing Denver on the road potentially without Willis OR Bowman seems like a recipe for disaster. They can probably score on Denver's poo poo defense if they get out of their own way, but that's hardly a given and Peyton will likely carve them up. Fangio's amazing but you can only do so much against Manning.

If you like defenses that do not have the personnel to stop the opposing offense, then Carolina-Green Bay is going to be your game of the week. also if you're a sports writer that likes easy story lines, have I got good news for your! I actually don't think the Packers will have too terrible a time with Cam. They're so athletic on the outside with Matthews and Peppers they won't be gashed for massive inside runs. Cam still isn't running very fast, and was really only successful last week because I don't think the Bengals planned for him moving at all. While I don't think the Packers have the personnel to really disrupt the pocket, as bad as Carolina's oline actually is, I do think they'll keep any scrambling cam bullshit in check. Watch for Peppers to have a big game. He feels slighted by Carolina, even though we offered him the largest defensive contract in NFL history and he went out of his way to make himself untradeable. What a guy. Cam is still having the best throwing year of his career, and I predict it will continue. However, the Panthers will likely get down two scores again before they decide to let cam free, and even the latest hack iteration of dom capers should be able to figure out how to stop a team that can't even pretend to run. Also the Panthers have no runningback. Stewart will likely fall down a flight of stairs before sunday and blow out his whatever again. When Green Bay has the ball, they'll be going deep early and often. Three times this year there's been nothing between the RB and the end zone but him, and all three times he's barely made contact. He's slow, he takes bad angles, and is the definition of "done." Jordy Nelson will be open deep all game and there won't be anything Decoud to do to stop it. The Panthers best defensive lineman is Kawaan Short, but he doesn't get to play because seniority or some dumb bullshit that people believed in back in the 40s when richardson learned the game. They really need Hardy back, but the earliest he'll return is next week against Seattle. Charles Johnson is clearly battling some injury. He's just ineffective. Bottom line, Panthers don't have the talent in the front seven to mask their deficiencies in the secondary. too much rodgers bullshit and coaching incompetence to overcome. If shula was smart he'd just let Cam do his thing out there, but he'll spend the first quarter and a half trying to establish Fozzy Whitaker. Packers by 10.

The real concern is whether the Cowboys can stop the run, especially if Jennings plays, since they haven't been good against the run at all this year. Our D-line is a strength, especially against the run, but Shady just had his best game of the year so I don't even know anymore. Until that game they were playing lights out. You guys have the best O-line in the business, so I expect Murray to be just fine. We might hold him under 100 yards if the D-line plays lights out, but that's a big if. Our secondary isn't performing as well as it should on paper. Rolle is hit or miss and DRC seems to be having nagging injury issues. Prince is fine. I don't think they will play that bad, but if we can't pressure Romo through your line then players are going to get open. Also, Jason Witten over the middle will stab us repeatedly as usual. Herzlich can't do poo poo and Beason isn't 100% yet. Jennings is out till at least the Colts game, so you don't need to worry about him. Williams is a bruiser but can't pass block or catch so he's a one dimensional threat. With Cruz out our passing game takes a huge hit. If the O-line remembers how to play we might put up a mild fight, but honestly I think this is just going to be a slaughter and we'll only have a chance if Dallas has an off game. On paper at least. Giants/Cowboys games tend to be wacko, so honestly we can speculate all we want, we have such a history of bizarre games these past few seasons that who knows.

I'm nervous about the Saints game even if they are struggling right now. I think if Detroit wins it'll be a statement game, either because the defense will show that it's truly legit or the offense will have finally stepped it up a notch. If they win I don't see another potential loss until the Pats game. If they lose, who knows.

Even if the Cowboys win Sunday, it's going to be a close one because everyone has them winning this effortlessly. The Cowboys always do the opposite of the general consensus; nothing is easy, everything is earned. 6-1 is going to be a tough milestone to achieve, I think.

I think Julio and Roddy have good and shattered any suspicion that they were "pretty good receivers." Maybe they "used to be pretty good receivers" but they're turning in pure dog poo poo performances in 2014. If anything, the bears, giants, and vikings have exposed the fact that Julio and Roddy REQUIRE a 3rd genuine receiver on the field in order for either of them to do an impressive amount of ball catching. Right now, the Falcons do not have that, as Harry is still hurt and Levine has the hands of a gargoyle at dawn. I'm going to predict... 31-20, Ravens.

You have no idea how bad this guy is he wrecks the entire secondary just being there. He's one of the worst players I've ever seen. I'm not sure if Will Hill is ready to come in and start immediately so if he's not then you have a chance just because of Elam's presence on the field. But I think that even with that the Ravens will take it.
