A split decision on top with both Jason Campbell and the Defense earning your praise. I think they're both deserving as JC looks much more polished than he did last year and the defense looks, well, like an actual defense. Given our general woes on the offensive side of the ball, and also that JC wasn't one of the worst QBs in the league last year but our D was one of the worst at their job, I'll split the tie with another vote for the Fense of D.
Antwaan came in at 3rd below those two unsurprisingly. He's played outstanding football and has more than earned the #2 receiver spot. I was very skeptical of his ability to do so at the end of last season and going into this season. The offensive line got votes prior to being absolutely decimated to injuries, I'm assuming. Mike Sellers surprises no one because we all know what a monster he is, and Derrick Frost looked good up until very recently. No others?
New Poll: What are the odds of us beating the New England Patriots this week? Everyone and their mother's mother has us getting squished by the Pats. Honestly, this is the least confident I've been of an impending win since ever, although I'll still pick the 'Skins because nothing I do depends on credibility or objectivity. Also feel free to use the comments section as your own sounding board on how we can make lightning strike with a W. Poll below.

I feel very confident about this win. I'm also in the business of purchasing bridges, do you know of any for sale?
