Peterson, S. Jackson, D Williams
MJD, Johnson, Benson

Fitz, Colston, Sidney Rice, D Jackson

Reed
Corner:
Woodson, Samuel, Sheldon Brown
Johnathan Joseph, Leon Hall, Jarius Byrd not available (League leading 8 INTs)
Couldn't vote for Nnamdi as he has 1 pick and 2 passes defensed. It's been 10 games.

Forgot about Jared Allen... Peppers, Cole
Freeney, Mathis, Schoebel
ILB:
Bradie James, Willis
Ray Lewis (barely)
OLB:
Ware, Orakpo, Briggs
Suggs, Harrison, refuse to vote for Cushing

Obviously my votes are biased, I ignore players who pad their stats by blowing out JV teams (Brady, Moss) as well as those who can't play the real position (Welker, WRs were meant to be covered by CBs not LBs)

On to the week of upsets.

The Bengals lost to the Raiders... This isn't the most shocking thing in the world but damn. No Ace I am not jumping off the bandwagon. They will still make the playoffs, the question is will they have a bye, home game or will they be the 5 or 6 seed. They swept the Steelers and Ravens but losing to the Raiders left the door open.

The Steelers lost to the Chiefs. Didn't watch the game but I know they had a commanding lead in this game and they came from ahead to lose it. I never thought they were going to repeat, other people are probably thinking the same now.

The Colts beat the Ravens. No surprise there although the game was close. Steelers v Ravens next Sunday night. Must win if the Ravens want to be in the playoffs. Roethlisburger is hurt and so is Charlie Batch (his backup) so Dennis Dixon could start... That would be a win for the Ravens. Colts are 10-0, can they run the table? I think they play Houston next.

The Cowboys beat the Redskins 7-6 on a late TD pass. Romo tried to get Roy Williams killed a couple of times. He drops too many passes to be the WR who was supposed to replace TO. Overall the Cowboys receivers looked like shit in this game, Roy is still a bust. I thought the Cowboys were supposed to be great in November and then suck in December? Jason Campbell is getting way too much blame for the Redskins problems. Their O Line is horrible.

The Giants halted their losing streak by beating the Falcons. Matt Ryan the NFL has figured you out. Not sure this team will make the playoffs. I bet it's not so easy to forget about those great Michael Vick years right about now...

The Eagles beat the Bears to stay in the hunt for the NFC East.
Saints beat the Bucs to stay underrated
Vikings destroyed the Seahawks, do we know how good they are? When is te last time they played a good team? You people thought Denver and the Giants were great.

VY led the Titans deep out of their own territory to within field goal range to beat the Texans down in that shitty ass city... VY looks like he has learned how to play in the NFL. Chris Johnson is brasting on everyone. The Texans are still the underacheiving team we all know. Will Kubiak finally get fired? This was one of the few good Monday night games this season. These teams really don't like each other.

If I forgot anything let me know....
