NFL Week 13 Open Thread
— DrewM

You still have an hour or so to get your picks in.

A couple of good games today with the Cowboys and Giants in the premier late game. You might think you don't care about this game but no matter what happens, either Ace of Dave in Texas will be sad when it's over. That's a win for the rest of us right there.

Two other interesting games...Saints at the Redskins and Titans at the Colts.

Yeah, the Saints are undefeated and the Redskins are to be charitable, awful. Still it's an outdoor game and it's cold out and the Saints haven't been as dominant away from the Super Dome as they are at home. Saints probably win but it could be a trap game coming off the big win over the Patriots last Monday night.

The Titans started 0-6 and have 5 in a row since switching to Vince Young. The Colts are undefeated and will probably win but something will give and it'll probably be an entertaining game.

Also, I have hopes to get no points in my picks this week. It's good to have goals.

I look for Washington to pull off a serious upset today. They've been playing monstrous defense for the past couple of weeks now. They almost handed the Cowboys their asses in Dallas.

okay, the Redskins don't have a chance, Blazer.

Sorry, but it's over in the 1stQ.

The Titans have a better shot winning today than the Redskins.

The Redskins will be lucky to score 10 points today. Do you really think any team, let alone the Redskins, can hold the Saints to under 10 points?

I wouldn't be surprised to if Jim Zorn gets fired today after the Saints thrash the Redskins at home.

Posted by: a.k.a. at December 06, 2009 08:20 AM (b0OGA)

Daniel Snyder will come down from his box to the field in the middle of the 2nd quarter and fire Jim Zorn.

Posted by: a.k.a. at December 06, 2009 08:21 AM (b0OGA)

There's a good chance Snyder will kill Zorn today with a longbow.

The Redskins defense is healthy and they get Haynesworth back today. Brees hasn't faced a defense like this so far this year. Lets see how many td's he can throw laying on his back.

The Saints most likely win, but its not gonna be a blow out like some are expecting.

Posted by: Blazer at December 06, 2009 08:25 AM (+FzLa)

I just got a note, since Brees is my QB on my FF team, speculating that the Saints will probably run the ball more since blustery and cold conditions are expected for the game.

Still, I agree with your predicted outcome of a Saints win, but not a blow-out win or even a win like last week's game.

21 Oh, and i've noticed that all the sports yakkers are really building Vince Young up and declaring that he's the real deal. Hate to break it to 'em, but once you've had a freakout like Youngs, it's only a matter of time until it happens again. Only question is when.

Saints-Skins could be a trap game. Don't think it will, but it might. Skins offense is terrible, even if they did put up points against Philly - which is struggling too.

"Didn't the "Hello Nurse" from Animaniacs have blond hair?" - Yes, she did. GREAT cartoon!

I was able to snag Chris Brown, but no guarantee he'll pan out and it's a PPR league and he never catches.

35 California child custody case sets legal precedent: 7-year old at the center of a tragic California child custody case A seven-year old boy found himself at the center of a Alameda County courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him. The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with California child custody laws and regulations requiring that family unity be maintained to the highest degree possible. The boy surprised the court when he revealed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried and said that they also beat him. After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him. After two recesses to check legal references and confer with child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the Oakland Raiders, whom the boy firmly believes are incapable of beating anyone.

Made me laugh, although I certainly don't want you to get hurt. My sis found a tree ornament with a man on a ladder in front of a house, hanging off the ladder and about to fall off, with a string of lights in his teeth. BIL fell a few years ago while trying to do lights on the house. She got that ornament especially for him. (I know, awwww.....)

Ah, memories. The entire rest of that Super Bowl just doesn't exist.

Yahoo also counted Mechem's strip as a fumble for me (starting Saints defense).

Yeah, same thing for my opponent - although I'm wondering if he should get a TD as well. Mainly because in my league, defenses get punished for offensive turnovers that are returned for TDs even though they're not on the field, so it would only be fair if it worked the other way, even if it does mean I take a hit for it.

116 58 yard try? Hello OT

Posted by: kbdabear at December 06, 2009 12:27 PM (sYxEE)

117 Now NO has time to gin up a play to get 10 yards and out of bounds in 6 seconds.

119 Damn, Gaytors lose, Dolphins win/Belicheat loses, and this 'Skins-Saints game has me on edge. What a great early Christmas gift.

All that was missing was a Chiefs win, but they get another shot at the horseys.

120 Okay, I'll say it, 'cause I'm a Zorn fan - Go Skins!

121 That ball was moving.

Posted by: toby928 at December 06, 2009 12:37 PM (PD1tk)

122 Heh - SF used all 3-times out with less then 9-minutes passing in the first quarter.

Posted by: Editor at December 06, 2009 12:38 PM (YX6i/)

123 I am no longer from Pittsburgh. At least that's what I'm going to start telling people.

Humiliation. Our defense blows goats without Troy.

dude - if you're waching NO/DC game fill us in.

129 I could have gone either way on the call but it sure didn't look conclusive and the ruling on the field was down by contact.

Posted by: toby928 at December 06, 2009 12:42 PM (PD1tk)

130 Never mind... game break update. got it.

Posted by: Editor at December 06, 2009 12:42 PM (YX6i/)

131 Saints definitely in FG range

Posted by: kbdabear at December 06, 2009 12:43 PM (sYxEE)

132 Looked like a clear fumble, to me, from the slow mo game break update I saw.

Posted by: Editor at December 06, 2009 12:44 PM (YX6i/)

133
Wow, what abullshit call. NO gonna win it.

Posted by: kbdabear at December 06, 2009 12:44 PM (sYxEE)

135 Saint 1st and 10 at the 15, but are going for the FG now

142 Kick was good, but Skins called TO before ball was kicked

Posted by: kbdabear at December 06, 2009 12:51 PM (sYxEE)

145 I like the Saints and I have never had any love for the Redskins, but Mike Sellers and his team got ripped off if you ask me. Maybe the outcome would have been the same anyway, but they never had their shot.

Well, much to some chagrin, I did not fall. Lights are up. And they appear to be working better than Flozell Adams mental state.

By the way - nice pass, Eli.

Glad to see you made it out alive. This time of year is always kind of harrowing. Trees, roofs, lights, electrical sockets and alcohol , some assembly required.

If the Cowboys have to go on the road in the playoffs they are toast, especially if they end up a wild card at the end of the regular season. The rest of their schedule is brutal. They are lucky to be 6-3. They have only played two teams with winning records up to this point.

Pretenders, not contenders.
