@Alex:

Still at the bottom of the AFC north but nice job beating Flacco.

[steelworker]

That's what I get for sentiment.
I think Lamar is feeling better.  ???

Hat off to all you winners. I had an epically bad sports weekend (except for Pujols whacking 700). Good luck next weekend to all who are left.

[Matt]

I’m looking at week 4 and I don’t feel good about any of those games

[SKT]

Yup.  All of week 4 looks hard to call.  If I get the chance to play again I’m definitely going to pull a “Costanza” and pick the opposite of what my gut tells me.  Can’t hurt

[Jett129]

Just saw that the Jaguars devoured the Chargers as well as @scooter  Heading into week 4 all we have left are @Alex @Matt and @Twistlock  Good luck in week 4.

[Jett129]

I was looking at week 4 as well. Gonna be a tough one. Tried to imagine who I would pick if I was still in.

[steelworker]

SF- Denver game a shambles. 11-10 final. Anybody got Denver

[Twistlock]

My choice for Week 4: Packers win over Patriots.

I'll go dolphins over bengals. At least if I am right, I move onto the next week of this competition 

[Jett129]

I’d have taken Green Bay,and also think Miami remains undefeated. Probably the kiss of death for both of you. Good Luck!

[Oaktavia]

@Jett129:

Miami remains undefeated.

I can't believe they are 3-0 just one of two teams along with the Eagles. Wild.

[Jett129]

Talk about taking one for the team….  @Alex  makes the Dolphins his pick against his favorite Bengals,knowing full well that his reverse Mojo would kick in and the Bengals would win,and Alex would be out. I think Alex would make that trade every week for the rest of the season. He also got a little extra help by me saying I expected the Dolphins to remain undefeated. Need a pick from @Matt

[Matt]

Doh!  I forgot, sorry.  Chargers over Texans.

[mclaincausey]

I don't understand how the league would even let a team put a player in a two-concussions-in-five-days scenario. Should not have continued to play Sunday or played last night.

Friggin blood sport. The broader problem of CTE is difficult to navigate, but this should have been easy: concussion = miss the next couple of games at least (not a neurologist, just throwing out an idea). If Tua passed the concussion protocols last Sunday, the protocols are simply wrong.

Hope the kid is OK–this could be a life-changing injury and should never have happened.

Shame on the NFL and shame on McDaniel and the Dolphins. And you still lost.

[SKT]

@mclaincausey But his injury the week prior was just his back (insert the largest eye roll in history here).

[Oaktavia]

Fan smack talk aside, Tua seems like a great kid and I agree @mclaincausey if a player is hurt, let 'em sit out and recover. Really should be that simple.

[Mizmazzle]

Watching Tua seize up like that was brutal! Made my stomach turn. I have a feeling the Dolphins are in for a huge fine. Seems odd that there isn’t an independent doctor in charge of on field concussion evaluations. I’ve heard they have “spotters” that are leave appointed that watch from the sidelines or something that are supposed to help with this. Huge F up on this one. I hope the kid doesn’t suffer long term damage.

However, I hope the Broncos bring the pain to the Raiders this Sunday!!!

[mclaincausey]

Go Donks!!

They allegedly had a doctor sign off on his returning to the field against the Bills, which seems like malpractice to me. Pretty clearly a ding to the head caused the wobbles.
