pull victory from the jaws of defeat

This is a last man standing or ’suicide’ league - I have already used 14 teams this year - we can only use each team once - in my estimation this is the toughest of the remaining three weeks - there appears to be some mismatches to take advantage of in weeks 16 and 17 IF IF IF I can get there - I need a WINNER in week 15 to move on - here are the 18 teams I have left to choose from, in no particular order:

Green Bay Packers
Atlanta Falcons
St Louis Rams
Baltimore Ravens
New England Patriots
Cleveland Browns
Oakland Raiders
Minnesota Vikings
Kansas City Chiefs
Denver Broncos
Houston Texans
Seattle Seahawks
San Francisco 49ers
Tampa Bay Buccanneers
Cincinnati Bengals
Detroit Lions
Jacksonville Jaguars
New Orleans Saints

I’ll try to paste in the schedule below — as you’ll see - there are some good teams left - like Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Atlanta and Tampa Bay - but they’re playing each other … so here’s the schedule - I only have 11 hours to make my pick - any insight is appreciated …

and what teams will replace them
1.San Diego Chargers i think that L.T. is gonna b awful this year and is gonna turn into another Shaun Alexander
Replacement Houston Texans (ONLY) if the QB does not lose the game

2.Indianapolis Colts i’m just not feeling anything from them this year i just think the loss of Marvin is going to show
Replacement New England Patriots to make this short and simple the Pats have a serious shot at getting to 16-0 again

3.Miami Dolphins Chad Pennington is going to turn into Chad again he’s gonna have problems with his shoulder and the wildcat isn’t going to surprise again
Replacement Oakland Raiders (ONLY) if Jamarcus learns some thing from Jeff Garcia or if their defense linebacker particularly is really good other than that i can c them in the playoffs honestly

4.Carolina Panthers i’m just not seeing enough from them this offseason and i’m not completely sold on Delhomme yet
Replacement Seattle Seahawks they won’t have that many injuries this year and Matt Hasselbeck will not suck that bad this year

5.Atlanta Falcons let’s face it Matt Ryan was unexpected no one though he will b that good and he obviously benefited from a great running game which SUCKED against the Cardinals i can c the falcons winning about 5 games this year
Replacement Chicago Bears i said this last year but this year im really sure that they can make a lot of noise this year the wr’s are gonna benefit from the tight ends which will free their secret weapons deep

6. New York Giants we all saw what happened when they lost Plaxico Burress yea sure they got Hakeem Nicks but he’s a rookie and he isn’t gonna be able to replace what he left
well i got three teams that can take this spot
Philadelphia Eagles (ONLY) if Lesean McCoy and i forgot what wr they got is what we think they will b
Dallas Cowboys (ONLY) if Roy Williams can replace what T.O. left and if Felix Jones stays healthy
St.Louis Rams (ONLY) if Bulger isn’t on his back every game and if the WR’s play at least solid from what i think will b a great run game with aquiring Mike Carney (FB)
no u have no idea wat ur talkn about i said 6 teams i split them 3 and 3 afc and nfc

i don’t think the titans will make it either but they’re not on the list and plus did u pay attention is said the raiders may make it in. so y don’t u actually read the details next time

Houston Texan over Cleveland Browns
Dallas Cowboys over San Francisco 49ers
Tampa Bay Buccaneers over Detroit Lions
New York Jets over Tennessee Titans
Buffalo Bills over Kansas City Chiefs
Chicago Bears over St. Louis Rams
New England Patriots over Miami Dolphins
Jacksonville Jaguars over Minnesota Vikings
Philadelphia Eagles over Baltimore Ravens
Denver Broncos over Oakland Raiders
Carolina Panthers over Atlanta Falcons
