Happy Halloween, FFGeekBlog Style

Well I can't speak for Brandon since I definitely wasn't going to carve a Patriots pumpkin, but here's my Happy Halloween to all y'alls.

Packers will need to win without Wynn

It looks like the injury that rookie running back DeShaun Wynn suffered in Sunday's game was a little worse than initially though. Wynn will miss the remainder of the season after injuring a nerve in his neck and being placed on the Injured Reserve list. This opens the door for the man who replaced him, Ryan Grant, to prove that he can handle the starting role. He did well against the Broncos, rushing for 104 yards, even though Denver has the worst rush defense in the NFL. If you're low on running back depth, Grant should be picked up immediately.

Unless you're on your way to your bookie to place a big bet, how can the outcome of computer simulations affect you in any way? The nerd next door might as well run a Madden '08 simulation on his XBox and tell you who won...it would have the same bearing on what will happen this Sunday.
