O.K. but I wanted people's thoughts on the most important Sunday game this week.

Far from the most important game this Sunday. Perhaps the Steelers game (I mean, they are in the AFCN and all)

We all know that the Steelers are going to blow out the Bungles, much as we hope otherwise.

Just like we knew the Steelers would crush the Bills (much like we did) and the Jets would give NE a close one. You never know, man, you never know!

The Bungles (2-10 with a 9-game losing streak) are playing much worse than the Jets and Bills. The Steelers are much better than the Jets. BTW, could you please vote so that we can get a better idea of the popular opinion concerning the game?

I'm changing my pick from Chiefs to SD.

Matt Cassel is officially ruled out of tomorrow's game. He did not travel with the team and his status for the next game against the Rams is uncertain.

With Cassel out, this will help SD out in terms of the division. It may help Oakland if Oakland is able to beat Jacksonville.

How good is KC's back-up QB?

[AwakenTheDemon]

Croyle is... let's put it this way, he's earned his spot as a career back-up. He's no Cassel, and without him, I just don't see how Kansas City can hang with Rivers and the Chargers for four quarters.

Bowe and Charles are still going to bring their A-game!

[AwakenTheDemon]

But Bowe needs someone to throw the ball to him...

I'd say the Chargers will win, but their special teams is so awful... we can't forget about that little-talked-about factor. Why do the Chargers' stats not correlate to their win-loss? All special teams. That's how anyone's been able to hang with them.

Tie

[PWNEDbyDEANO]

Chargers. All they have to do is roll smoothly on offense like they have done for pretty much all season and it should come to them. I can't see Charles and Jones running all over them to the extent that it completely makes up for the loss of Cassel. Their special teams has been awful but, again, I am not expecting that to change the result. Chargers win a close one.

[AwakenTheDemon]

Now we see how much Cassel really means to Kansas City. 52 total yards of offense with 2 minutes left in the game.
