You know how you can tell you are well into the NFL season?  It’s when teams feel the need to change something.  Last year it was when Cleveland changed to D. Anderson and sent Frye to Seattle.  This year it appears change will come in the form of coaching changes.  Although I agree with the one in STL (Linehan lost complete control of that team), I don’t agree at all with the Kiffin firing.  I can’t wait to see where that kid resurfaces.  I just hope he gets a chance to make Al Davis feel pain before he withers away.  After getting down from my soapbox, I’ll admit that my starts were so bad last week that I need to make some system changes myself.  Here’s a look at some spot starts and rare benches in week 5!

Ok, ok I’m late with this post by 2 days but to my defense I am extremely busy with work these days.  And I had a great monthly poker tournament win.  And we had our annual garage sale this morning.  Other than that, this week was easy.  Looking back on week 4, I had a terrific week. I started out 7-1 with the early games and coasted to a 9-4 record.  It was looking even better than than at halftime of the late games.  But Oakland and St. Louis were brought back to reality.  My total for the year has fallen to 34-26-1.  Sportsbook
