September 24, 201015 yr comment_921977 Hi all. Been gone for a while, and I know you missed me. Got transferred across the country, finished my Masters (and started on another one), and witnessed the birth of my first child. Been a busy few months. Anyhoo, looking forward to some more lively debates this season. Good luck this year, except in weeks 9 and 14. Report

And Jamie, I'll let the kid decide on his own. My dad is a Pats fan, my sister is a cowboys fan, my aunt is a dolphins fan, my wife's aunt is a Raiders fan (and we are all from New England).

Hell has a average D? [/quote] First of all, the Pats D sucks. I dont even understand how you could argue otherwise. 26th in yards, 25th in points. And that was before they played the Bills. They just gave up 30 points and 374 yards to frickin Buffalo. Carolina, 18th in yards,24th in points. The Ravens are good. Second, the Tennesee defense is legit. Going into this week...11th in points, 1st in yards. Atlanta, 16th in yards 4th in points. Tampa...3rd in points, 15th in yards. The Bengals have played much worse D's than the Steelers have. If anything, your argument just proves my point. Report
September 26, 201015 yr Author comment_923184 [quote name='Jamie_B' timestamp='1285537901' post='923122'] yeah and your D is carrying you. 31nd ranked offense [/quote] Never said it wasnt. However, that doesnt change the fact that Palmer looks like poop. Pittsburghs O may be horrendous without Ben, but both Dennis Dixon and Charlie Batch have higher passer ratings than Palmer does.
