Sometimes being lucky and in the right place at the right time is more important than being good. Like the Bears and Seahawks and their improbable playoff runs last year, for example.

Are the Ravens still losing? My television and cable are out today. I hope so. There's a player on that roster I don't particularly care for. Not hard to guess who it is. Criminal.
Its funny how people select whom they wish to dislike. A guy just happens to be with a group who kills a couple of guys and is villified by many for years to come.
But a rapist QB who specializes in forcing himself on young drunk women on more than one occasion is a hero to all, especially the media.
That's why I can't stand to watch games involving his team. They love him so much, they constantly call this slightly above average player by his first name - while the greatest QBs ever were never referred to as John, or Dan, or Joe, or Y.A., or Aaron, or Bart, or Tom, or even Peyton. My wife gets irritated with me when I start yelling "If you love him so much why don't you go down on the field and start sucking his dick!!!!" every time the announcers start their lovefest.
OK, rant over. Thanks for letting me get this off my chest.
Dorian hate Roethlisberger too though.

Spell his name correctly, dammit.
It's Rapistberger.
Game I'm most looking forward to: Bills-Jets.
Huge for both teams. Bills win if they win the turnover battle and both teams play as expected yardage-wise. They also win if Fitz can step up and prove he's the man with smart play and a bare minimum of 240 passing yds. This is one of the very rare games where it's going to really be on his shoulders to deliver instead of having Freddy save the day. I think he pulls it off and it's going to largely be because he finds Chandler often when it counts.

Great game by the Jets so far, almost dominating. Maybe not quite the Bills' year yet.
49ers are 7-1!!! 
Not a pretty game, but effective and with 5 more games inside the division, Hopefully they don't get complacent and start thinking first round bye. That would be awesome.

They probably want Norv Turner minus Philip Rivers. I doubt Philip Rivers would help their QB situation much.
Of course, that's just me projecting how upset I am with Rivers today... he's my fantasy football QB, and I'm playing against the Packers DST. Rivers threw TWO pick-6s back to back. That's a 20 point swing for my football team in my league.

What are the odds the Redskins play whoever their third string guy is next game?
Funny thing about that. WAS doesn't carry an emergency QB.
I've always thought Rivers was overrated. The media always wants to heap praise on him, though. His stats are good, but, he doesn't ever seem to win.
