Florio says, “no one to whom to wing it” for the English majors working at Best Buy…
Actually numbnuts, some of us are English teachers working at schools as English teachers wondering how the phrase “no one to whom to wing it” makes any sense.

I am surprised that you are both taking the Patriots. I know they are tough to beat at home, they've won 11 straight regular season games at Gillette Stadium, but the Ravens clearly know how to beat them there. My question would be, how are the Patriots going to be able to get the passing game going without the threat of Moss? I think it will take them a few weeks to figure it out, unless Brandon Tate can step in and be a serious deep threat. I'm taking the Ravens over the Patriots. Look for Flacco to have a breakout game.

You’re here aren’t ya?? Sheesh!
——————————-
Yes.. and I used to come here quite often.. to find out things like injury reports… trades… Florio actually used to be quite good at getting scoopage when he started out.. since he sold out, he does nothing except exhalt the Steelers and the Mountaineers…. so I don’t come here nearly as much as I used to. And personally, I have no use for anyone talking head’s opinions of what is going to happen in the future, because their opinion isn’t any more valid than my own is. Sheesh!

At first blush, this is one of those mediocre Monday night games? This looks like the most unappealing prime time matchup in years. Do they keep records for the lowest ratings for MNF games? ‘Cause this one might limbo under the record low.

And who gives a sh*t about Philly. I know you Eagles fans think people care about the Eagles, but not really. Win at least ONE championship first. That’s a good starting point before opening your traps.

@KevinfromPhilly
As far as bad MNF matchups, I think it was like 8-10 years ago or so, Week 6, I think it was 0-5 Dallas and 0-5 Washington facing off against each other. Even the MNF announcers were talking about how, barring a tie, one of those two (at the time, sadly pathetic) teams was actually going to stop being winless.
@81megatron81
I’m pretty sure both Florio and Rosenthal picked the Lions over the Rams last week, although nowhere close to the actual score.

Florio won’t bet me +51 and browns… Come on florio – back up your talk!
Anyone who thinks Qb isn’t the key position – look at this game. With Seneca Wallace it would be a 3 point line (like ravens game where Hillis PWNED the stabby birds)

I don’t remember that CLE 51 PIT 0 game from 1989, because I’m neither a Browns or a Steelers fan, but I’d love to see a result like that again.

According to yall the Jaguars should 0-5 opposed to vying for the division lead. I love how every win by the Jags is lucky for them and due to some kind of folly of the other team. I mean after all could the Jaguars beat Peyton Manning and the Titans!

I’m not worried….they picked the Rams to beat the Lions last week….EXPERTS huh?
Lions 17
Giants 14
Lions aren’t the pushover they once were…

I’m a life long Redskins fan, and if there’s any chance of them beating Manning, then they need to knock every Colt they can out of this game, and McNabb needs to get a couple of those deep td’s he’s been randomly throwing this year. Landry needs to play this game like he’s playing for his life, Orakpo needs to get as much pressure as he can and London Fletcher needs to go all London Fletcher, and tackle every person he can get his hands on. He’s the backbone of this Defence, and while he’s been playing good this season, he isn’t playing as good as he has in the past few years. Hail!

Dolphins at Packers
Florio’s take: The Packers are banged up, and the Dolphins are desperate. With or without quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who has a concussion, the Packers won’t be improving on their 3-1 record against Miami, after losing eight times in a row to the FIns. Look for the Dolphins to grind it out methodically, and to get on the right side of .500 after 13 days to prepare for their return to Lambeau Field.
Florio’s pick: Dolphins 24, Packers 14.
We’re 3-1? Awesome. With Rdogers we win, without, we Lose. The Dolphins are overrated. Tell me one good team they’ve beaten? haha
”
I guess you weren’t really good at reading comprehension in school. He said 3-1 against Miami.
Didn’t Rodgers play against the Bears? I hope other Packers fans are a bit more intelligent than you. Look at the bright side, at least they won’t be able to execute you if you were in Texas!

My only question is how did Florio and Rosenthal get so incredibly egotistical to believe that anybody else in the world gives a rats patootie about their Pittsburgh/West Virginia inbred loving opinions?

When have the Vikings corners been exposed? The Vikings have the 3rd best pass D in football through the first quarter of the year.”
Did you sleep through the Jets game? Griffin is out for the year now and Cook won’t play this week – Asher Allen was picked apart on Monday night and he’ll be out there again Sunday! That’s who got exposed – Allen SUCKS!!!!!!!!!

I’ll take a rusty 2-time winning SB Champ QB over a rookie who hasn’t thrown a pass in the NFL yet any day.

I’m Steelers fan and I’m scared of the Browns this week. Pittsburgh has a way to play down to their competition, and with Ben being a little rusty, all it would take is two or three pick sixes and we have another check in the L column.

What a shocker, Rosenthal picks the Vikings to lose. Two questions Gregg, who in the Vikings organization made out with your wife, and what is the deal with spelling Gregg with two “g’s”. Seriously that is lame.

I guess u guys didn’t watch the same ravens – pats playoff game last year . They Ravens will own the moss-less pats and BB will wish he didn’t get caught in spy gate to get a better advantage . Aside from that , give the Ravens some credit , they beat both jets and steelers on the road , and I as a Ravens fan fear them way more than the cheatriots .
Go Ravens !!!

I guess you dont realize that last years game means absolutely nothing this Sunday.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t like an AFC South matchup. I don’t give a sh*t about Steelers-Ravens, Pats-Jets or Cowboys-Giants. Know why? They aren’t my team. You media guys talk about the same 9-10 team every freakin year. It’s getting old.

If it’s any consolation, after the Dolphins win on Sunday, they still won’t have any victories over good teams.

Atlanta is giving up 86 yards per game on the ground, whereas Philly is giving up 125… Atlanta’s offense is averaging 18 more yards per game than Philly’s on the ground… Yeah, taking LeSean McCoy over Michael Turner TOTALLY makes sense, especially with Philly going with their 2nd best QB who only dinks and dunks underneath. MAKES TOTAL SENSE.

For once, I can’t criticize the Eagles/Falcons picks. I think this one is a toss-up. If Philly shows up, we can win. If we play like we did at home against GB and ATL, we’re done.
