So Bill Simmons called out the Ferguson GJ in this weeks picks...

Speaking of shaky, here’s the Shakey’s Pizza Watch for Week 13: Drew Stanton playing from behind on the road … Megatron’s prime … Seattle’s O-line … Blake Bortles going 29 spots ahead of Teddy Bridgewater … the Cordarrelle Patterson bandwagon … Mark Sanchez even when he’s leading by 17 … Josh McCown starting over Mike Glennon when you’re 2-8 … the Hanley Ramirez signing … Indy’s running backs … Indy’s running backs a second time … any defense that doesn’t blitz the living hell out of Andy Dalton … any Walking Dead scene when the guy who plays Abraham tries to go 1970s Pacino on us … every end zone fade route … the phantom holding on Tavon Austin’s game-swinging kick return in San Diego (single worst call of the season) … all grand juries that don’t return indictments when a cop fires more than 10 gunshots and kills someone, nobody knows what happens and multiple witnesses have different accounts of what actually happened … any prosecutor who tries to explain that non-indictment and comes up more condescending than the principal from The Breakfast Club.

Ok - I have several comments.

For some reason the TO catch against Green Bay came to mind under the discussion of greatest catch so glad he mentioned it.

When he came to subject of Cutler's interceptions looking the same as his touchdowns, he was reminded me of Brett Farve and that gunslinger mentality, then he goes on "how could you compare him to Brett Farve?"

Blake Bortles yards per attempt numbers are far better than Blaine Gabbert who posted lower numbers in that department than Tebow. His interception to TD ratio hurts the QBR but the only break when it came to opponents was Tennessee where Jacksonville missed a game winning field goal. He also has superior YPA numbers to the rest of the list.

Arizona playing the eastern time zone at Atlanta will be tough. Hopefully Arizona's D continues their streak of 5 or more interceptions against Matt Ryan.
