Monday night NFL result:

PHILADELPHIA EAGLES 30 at Indianapolis Colts 27 ... Cody Parker with a 36 yard field goal to win it for the Eagles as time expired.

Philly, only the fourth team in the past 30 years to come back from a 14 point deficit in the second half to win back-to-back games.. (Eagles 6, Colts 20 with 6:43 left in the third quarter, as Adam Vinatieri nailed a FG for Indy)

Colts QB Andrew Luck completed 20 of 34 for 172 yards,.. 3 touchdown passes, 1 interception. On the other side, QB Nick Foles of the Eagles, 21 of 37, 331 yards,.. 1 TD, 1 Int.

Colts rushed 38 times accumulating 169 yards on the ground versus the Eagles who carried the ball 28 for 127. But another telling statistic: Philadelphia 4.5 yards per, and Indianapolis 4.4 yards per carry.

attendance -- 64,871

Look now.

You guys know I speak British like the best of em.

... Why not go into the vernacular when doing the league, Gerry?

by the way, superstar QB Robert Griffin III (RG ' three' called across the pond, of the Wash Redskins), had a dislocated ankle on a play v the Jaguars and may be out 8 weeks, or the entire season.

Captain Kirk Cousins, one time star of Michigan State Uni., may be the new caretaker QB of the Skins for a while, and led them to a 41-10 dismantling of Jacksonville Sunday. News as it develops.

and to add, Oi wachit, Gerry! we both would have had more digestible weeks if not for the Vikes.

Congrats on having predicted Cleveland to defeat New Orleans at home in Ohio, not far from the shores of Lake Erie. Saints had been predicted to be a contender for the title pre-season by a number of pundits. Now one has to wonder.*

*Vikings at Saints this weekend, but not one of our 8 this week.

Vikings, with the (running back) Adrian Peterson child abuse issue (whipping his 4 year old son with a switch), a cloud over a legendary club has taken hold.

News broke this morning that Minnesota had designated A.P. as "exempt," a rare avenue used to effectively make a player redundant. They pay him, but he cannot be involved with the team until his issue is sorted by the courts. But they can also add him to the squad later in the season if due process has lifted this matter off his shoulders.

Strange days for the Vikings.

In Thursday night NFL distr-action (or would that be destruction?

Tampa Bay Buccaneers 14 at ATLANTA FALCONS 56 ... not a typo.

Atlanta was up 35-0 before Tampa Bay even got their first 1 down.. As the 4th quarter began in was Falcons 56-0.

Falcons QB Matt Ryan completed 21 of 24 passes for a total of 286 yards, 3 for touchdowns and 0 interceptions. Devin Hester of Atlanta returned a punt from midfield for a 62 yard TD, an NFL record 20th TD return, eclipsing Deion Sanders' 19 TD returns (also a former Falcon)..

Atlanta improved to 2-1 and Tam Bay fell to 0-3.

Present and accounted for, Gerry

Side note, appears that SARBOY, MFB's PL Division 1 pacesetter and our NFL PL's as well, he won't be making an appearance as he returned to England for a short one and never got around to posting. Shame... So top of the table is wide open, although, then, Thrillseeker enters Week 3 with presently a second best 10-6 so effectively in 1st.

my picks:

Week 3 -- (1 pm ET/6 pm BST kickoffs unless otherwise noted)

SAN DIEGO CHARGERS at BUFFALO BILLS -- SAN DIEGO
DALLAS COWBOYS at ST LOUIS RAMS -- ST LOUIS
WASHINGTON REDSKINS at PHILADELPHIA EAGLES -- WASHINGTON
HOUSTON TEXANS at NEW YORK GIANTS -- NEW YORK GIANTS
BALTIMORE RAVENS at CLEVELAND BROWNS -- CLEVELAND
GREEN BAY PACKERS at DETROIT LIONS -- DETROIT **
SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS at ARIZONA CARDINALS (16:05/21:05) -- SAN FRANCISCO
DENVER BRONCOS at SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (16:25/21:25) -- SEATTLE **

I've been trying to select games that are more difficult to suss. And mission accomplished, apparently.

Only Leadbelly and RSCO managed better than the rest, 4-4's, 3-5, and one 2-6.

..

Ok, offering the first guest presenter week. Who is interested in selecting 10 for us, for Week 5 or 6? I will post week 4 and then it is open for everyone else,.. We could have one guest presenter every two weeks and that will bring us to week 17, right up to the playoffs.
