2007 NFL Pick-em: Week 14

[Logan Byers]

I hope the NFL does the right thing and moves the Thursday game to give the Redskins time to mourn AND prepare for the game.
And the way the Redskins payed tribute to Sean Taylor was awesome and was the greatest show of respect I've ever seen (intentionally playing with only 10 players on the first defensive play, if you haven't seen or heard)

I agree. I have the utmost respect for Sean Taylor. From what I heard he died trying to protect his girlfriend and 18 month year old son. What a tragedy. R.I.P.

The battle of the on-field bad-luck teams; Redskins' luck is slightly less bad than Chicago

Sunday
San Diego at Tennessee
Alas, only if San Diego had remembered how to play football a dozen weeks ago.
New York Giants at Philadelphia
Philly with Feeley is a sleeping giant.

Class of the NFC

J'ville is home and mad.

Favre plays one series, then hands it over to Rodgers FTW

Palmer now has someone to throw to other than TJ

Next year, Minnesota will be this year's Green Bay

I honestly think Seattle's better off featuring MoMo

New England won't go 16-0, but they'll win this one. NE will drop one late in the season when they sit all the starters.

Cutler is the QB of the Future (in two years)

J-E-T-S conclude their one-week winning streak

Any fan of the NFL who isn't for the Patriots wants to see them lose (maybe I'm just different because of 2004 . . . 2005 . . . )PS - I'm a Steelers fan. So I'm curious how people feel about any teams chances at beating this team. Anyone think they have a blueprint?

My Blueprint for beating the Patriots:

DEFENSE:
1.)Pressure Tom Brady. You'll need good defensive line so you can send more into coverage - so pressure with ends is crucial.

2.)Stop the run. The Patriots have a lack-luster running game, which gets more important as the weather gets colder. Make Tom pass the ball - and pressure him when he does.

3.)Play receivers physically. Double up on Moss and Welker as much as possible and zone the middle and flats to eliminate passing routs to the sidelines.

OFFENSE:
1.)Run the ball, Run the ball, Run the ball!!! Play physical up front and keep the defense on the field.

2.)Look down the middle. The Patriots cover the sidelines well but the middle can be exposed (evident in the Eagle game)

3.) Play action please. The patriots have older linebackers who tend to bite on play action. Do it well and you may have a big gain.

Basically do what the Eagles and Ravens did - but without the mistakes late they made.

Oh, ol' "Slick Arms" Willie Parker will take care of that aspect.....

Ok so i see patriots bashing but no picks...

Hrmmm seems that people are so scared of the Pats going undefeated that they have to try to tell teams how to play on the CD forums.

Honestly, i'm pretty sure those head coaches can handle the calls on the field (that is why they get paid the big bucks.)

I'm more interested in your picks than a break down of how to be the Patriots (pretty sure right now anyone who has watched the last 2 patriots games could give you a clue as to how to beat them)

With that being said:

Thursday
Chicago at Washington

Sunday
San Diego at Tennessee
New York Giants at Philadelphia
Dallas at Detroit
Miami at Buffalo -> Yes i'm hoping Miama has a perfect season... a perfect 0 - 16 season. They should really just give up now and go for the #1 draft pick... they only need to lose 2 more and they could have it clinched
Carolina at Jacksonville
Oakland at Green Bay -> playing at Lambo, on a cold Sunday, with Farve as hot as ever...
St. Louis at Cincinnati
Tampa Bay at Houston
Minnesota at San Francisco
Arizona at Seattle
Pittsburgh at New England
Kansas City at Denver
Cleveland at New York Jets
Indianapolis at Baltimore -> Ravens came close this week, but they will take down the colts this time. They need to prove it to themselves that they can play with the big boys and this is where they make there stand.

Monday
New Orleans at Atlanta
