It sucks being here in Hamburg, Germany and not able to watch the game. I'll try and keep up with it online!

You should have gotten Directv or a Slingbox before you left.

And speaking of the election, both Obama & McCain will be on Monday night football.
That's your last look before you make up your mind Tuesday.

Those are the caveats, yes.

As for Tennessee, I see only 4 real tests remaining: The Packers are competent, but should still lose. Chicago could win it if everyone has a good game. Pittsburgh is a legitimate contender IF most of the roster is healthy. Colts = Pittsburgh....who's hurt? The rest of them are gimme games. The Titans could realistically go undefeated in the regular season...who'da thunk, two years in a row?

As for the Bills, their one loss is to Arizona, who really isn't even that good. They played easy teams and Bad San Diego so far (There are two San Diegos. There's the one that played New England, and then the one that played everyone else). The second half of their year is just as soft, with only a couple trips to New England really sticking out.

We'll probably see them in the playoffs, though I think they have no reason to be there. The Jets are average once you get past the Favre hype, which is starting to die down (thank god). They could be contenders next year with a few key acquisitions. Interesting side note: Chad Pennington is having a stellar year in Miami. Mangini's teeth can be heard grinding on the winds.

I like Arizona but they're not a complete team. It'll be interesting to see how they do if Hightower takes over for Edge. Warner is playing like he just quit the grocery store, though. Glad I picked him up in fantasy.

I can't figure out SD. They're like the Colts in that they have lots of talent, but can't seem to put together too many complete games. Firing Cotrell won't fix it.

Survival football could be over today.

I don't know who the other "survivor" is, but he picked Philly over Seattle. Bears look terrible right now after a great start.

If this was any other team, I'd agree. Orton will prevail. He hasn't let me down so far this season.

Except that Orton is DONE. There goes the Bears season.

Ankle injury of some sort it appears. I'm guessing fracture, but that's a complete dice roll.

Sexy Rexy to the rescue!

I hope you are wrong about it being a fracture. Orton turned around my fantasy season.

Grossman can have his moments too. I still say it ain't over. Being a Vike fan, I hope I'm wrong.:D

Grossman is fucking horrible. If they win it'll be because of Forte or Defense.
