Friends in football,

Is is time for the Rodgerscoaster?

BFIG vets know its predecessor, the ROMOCOASTER, all too well. Pick the Tony Romo-led Cowboys, and you better buckle up. High scoring affairs. Wild finishes. "What the f*** just happened?!?" fourth quarter drama...

This year's Green Bay Packers are what it looks like when you have the league's best quarterback, one of the league's worst everyone else, and one of the league's worst coaches.

Nearly 30 percent of us survived the Rodgerscoaster on Monday night. Do we dare ride it again in Week 10 (vs. Dolphins) and Week 13 (vs. Cards)?

WEEK 7 HEALTH CHECK: THAT WAS OUR BEST WEEK YET

• Damage done: In BFIG, we went from 521 to 495 after seven picked teams lost. In Second Chance, we went from 4,836 to 4,245 after 14 picked teams lost.
• Could it have been worse? Ask the Packers about when Aaron Rodgers has been hurt. Rodgers won Green Bay the game, during which it became increasingly clear Green Bay (our second pick, with 29% of BFIG on the Pack) would be a 4-12 team without him.
• Closest call: Packers over Niners. Green Bay was down 7-0, 24-20, and 30-23. 10 points in the final two minutes, aided by a Kevin King interception deep in Packers territory, helped a huge chunk of us escape with a win.
• Easiest win: Seattle over Oakland. #lolgruden.
• Team SZN record: 1-0. The GM got married and got a W with his favorite team (the Texans). Commish is channeling his inner BRANDO.

HOW CAN COMMISH MAKE THIS PLACE BETTER?

Now that we have several weeks under our belts, have any feedback for me? The competitions, the emails, the website, the Bud Light Limes...

Please comment at the bottom of this post (or email yo@theszn.com) with any thoughts and suggestions. Commish is a real human who 1) reads all your emails, and 2) reads every damn pick comment each week.
