It doesn't get any bigger than this fellas.

Huge game fellas. It'll take a great effort from everyone involved but the Cardinals can kill some major ghosts with a victory on the East Coast, against a quality opponent. As always..............GO CARDINALS!!!!!

Ok, I barely slipped into the playoffs in one of my league's and after a couple of hot weeks from a roster that only went 7-7 during the regular season, I'm vying for the championship this week. I'm still not sold that this is a great roster but somehow I've managed to get this far. So here are my dilemnas at each position (the league is a 1 QB, 3 WR, 2 RB league w/ no flex position):

QB: Tony Romo vs. Jay Cutler - On a normal week, I'd just plug Romo in and forget about it but Romo's back worries me and he's playing Baltimore. Cutler on the other hand is playing the Bills and they're 11th ranked passing defense.

RB: Frank Gore vs. Thomas Jones vs. Micheal Turner - Again this would be really easy with Jones and Turner geting the nod but Turner is facing the Vikings this week. Gore on the other hand is facing the Rams and they're 29th ranked rushing defense.

WR: Hines Ward vs. Santonio Holmes vs. Marques Colston vs. Antonio Bryant vs. Kevin Walter - Ok, Bryant and Colston are locks in the starting lineup but I'm not sure who to pick for the final spot. Holmes, Ward and Walter are all so hit or miss that I can't make up my mind on who to start.

Let me know what you think.........

Before anyone calls me homer, consider what Silverback has done this year and where he ranks among his defensive mates around the league. He's third in the NFL with 14 sacks and he leads the league in forced fumbles with six. He's also recorded a safety, an interception and defended four passes. He's also 28th in the league in total tackles but his 80 tackles are more than any other OLB in a 3-4 system.

Other Candidates and why they don't measure up to Silverback:

DeMarcus Ware and Joey Porter: ranked 1 & 2 in sacks (with 15 and 14.5 respectively) but neither have near as many tackles, neither have broken up or picked off a pass and they don't have as many combined forced fumbles as Harrison.

Troy Polamula: Leads the league in picks and third in passes defended but zero sacks, zero forced fumbles and only 54 tackles hurts his case.

D'Qwell Jackson: Who? Yea that's what I said. He's the league leader in tackles and he's got two sacks and a pick but he plays for Cleveland. I'm guessing if I've never heard of him than neither have some of the voters.

Patrick Willis and Jon Beason: Talk about two really good 23 year old, sophomores in this league. They're 1 & 2 in tackles (111 and 103) but outside of that they've combined for just one sack, one forced fumble and four picks.

Looking at his competition, I'd have to say Silverback is the front runner. Agree or did I miss some one?

Game time fellas so button those pants and get your game face on. Hopefully KW and company didn't eat too much turkey today. As always.......Go Cardinals.
