I say reconsider keeping the poll going and tell Buster (and those of his ilk) not to bother responding in the thread if all they're going to do is say "you're a traitor and not a real fan" and if he can't do that, just ban him. Enough of this shit. Why should the rest of us have to suffer so he can have his fun. He's not more important than the value this thread can bring to the site each game week.
I agree. For what it's worth, I'm one of those "traitors" this week. Of course, the likelihood of going 19-0 is slim (though I hope and cheer for it). I don't like the score only posts but rather a few reasons why or what people think needs to happen for their prediction to come true.

EX. Skins win 24-20 if we can force at least two TO's or I think Pokes win a close one unless the front four can get pressure and disrupt Barber before he gets out of the backfield.

Of course, that's just my personal preference.
