I'm soooo fired as GM. Started Rivers over M Ryan, lost by 2 Best part, I had AB who had a monster first half in the SNF game. By halftime I was down 2, and he never touched the ball again. Thank you KC for sucking ass so hard.

*sigh* Another week, another crucial blown call by the refs against the Browns. They did plenty of other things in the game to lose it (the previous fumble comes to mind), but how do the refs botch this?

I mean, on the fantasy front, I was desperate for WR help so I picked up Inman this week. That paid off pretty well, probably won me my matchup.

The fantasy thread is typically devoted to the Azine league, so we talk FFB here too mixed in with real FB. Unless something is different from last year.

My friend played Luck over Ryan. Cant say I would have done different

The Browns play is still mind boggling. How can you declare possession without ever seeing the Redskins with the ball

There were tons of Cowboys fans at the game, and they were louder than the Niners fans. I am pretty ticked off at the current trend... many diehard fans can't afford season tickets, so you're left with the wealthy, timid techies who don't have enough heart. It was shameful hearing the "Let's go Cowboys" chant echo multiple times yesterday afternoon.

And this call was pure BS... drive went from an inevitable punt to an eventual TD.

Cowboys score touchdown after BS personal fould call on Jaquiski Tartt - Niners Nation

on top of that, Bowman is out. Shoot me now

Couple seasons ago I caught the Hawks against the Cowboys at home. Was really surprised at the number of Cowboy fans in the stands. Easily 10-15% of the attendees. They sprang up like herpes.

Imagine 30% of them being Cowboys fans...

Makes sense though, nobody wants to watch 49er games anymore, given so many reasons other than their projected record. Local Cowboys fans hardly get the chance to watch them in person, and they get the chance to go with friends who are 49ers fans, and they get to check out the new stadium so they come out in droves. Still disgraceful, "Home of the faithful" is an embarrassing slogan.

The Vikings are no joke. Pre-game announcers were saying their defense is equal to and in some ways better than Denver's last year (statistically). And they have a credible offense. That combination has won what, 2 of the last 3 Superbowls (maybe all 3)?

I had the opportunity to pick up Minny DEF after week 2 which were monster weeks for them. I thought for sure week 3 Green Bay was going to break that small sample up so I passed. Meanwhile I desperately started Baltimore D for 5 points last week

I wonder what this means for Bridgewater next year? Assuming that Bradford keeps it going, he's not that old and if he finally lived up to his potential I can't imagine the Vikings dumping him.

I'll one up you on that one. When the Browns played the Dolphins in Kessler's first start, I picked up the Dolphins D and played them over the Chiefs defense. The Dolphins put up 8 points, the Chiefs put up 36, and I lost the matchup by .96 points.

Luckily he got to warm up with the minor league Cleveland Browns who I think lost 2 QB's in the game.

Fins season over before it started but at least I finally won again in FF. After 2 dominant weeks finally started Ryan over Rivers and then Rivers has the monster game I was due

Clipboard Jesus came back into the game eventually after tweaking his knee. As it stands right now the Browns have "only" lost 3 QBs to injury in 5 weeks.

Since I didn't have a dog in the fight this week, I got to enjoy an epic FFB loss. Only three players in double-digits and all of them < 19. Kicker scored second highest and was only 4 pts behind freaking Aaron Rodgers. My opponents top 5 players outscored my entire 18 man roster.

Man that was domination from start to finish.

I'm fine with them starting Romo when he get's 'healthy' because 1 more big hit and he'll be back on the sidelines with another broken bone and Dak will be right back in.

It will be interesting to see what they do. I mean on one hand it's Romo, but if the future is now then why take a step back? Maybe offer him a nice severance package and call it a day....
