This was a great idea, Steve, Good fun, man!

3-1 this weekend with SEA, SD, and NYG all winning.. Damn you Jacksonville..

[Axeman33]

I went 2-2. Slowly climbing the standings.

[Pengwin7]

^Is it possible to "climb" the ranking with a 2-2 weekend?
LOL.

But I hear ya, I went 2-2 and am quite happy with it considering the DEN loss (@ SEA) is probably their hardest game of season.
And I snuck out wins from Arizona (against SF!) and Detroit (against GB!).
So I'll chalk this week up as a WIN.

(unlike my H2H team match-up... yugg)

It's not easy. I am hoping a few teams just in front of me went 1-3 or 0-4.

[Pengwin7]

Well... fortunately Cleveland lost or Doulos would have locked in another 3 win weekend.
He's got the Jets tonight, so EVERYBODY'S rootin for the Bears!!!

[doulos]

Go Jets! I'm not convinced my set of teams is going to keep this up, so I need as many wins at the start of the season as possible.

2-2 is treading water. You don't climb the standings that way, you just avoid losing major ground, which is valuable in and of itself. Ideally, in this setup, everyone is churning out 2-2 weeks on route to a very competitive finish. Doesn't always work that way of course.

Jets are favoured by 3 tonight.

Are you saying that the Bears defense is NOT going to get me the 26points tonight that I need to win my H2H match against Axeman?

The Bears defense is terrible, especially with Peanut Tillman done for the year but Geno Smith is throwing for the other side. Anything could happen with that in play.

LOL! Even Yahoo has me at 100% victory already.

Yahoo! stats are a bunch of liars!
They had me projected for 100+ points.
I have 50 something.
Stupid Yahoo!
(shoulda picked up Kirk Cousins...)

Terrible is an exaggeration. Their defense has been good enough for the Bears to start the season 2-0. (Their offense blew the opening game.) And actually, the 4 turnovers and stellar play from Kyle Fuller is what won them the game last week.

I don't think the Bears D will be the reason they win games this year but they should be average to slightly below.

Yeah, but you're biased.
