Steelers and Dikes

Bears D looked pretty tough. We'll see how it holds up the Saints O.

This Jets/Cowboys game is pretty good. It looked like the Cowboys were going to run away with it.

Recently finished watching the 49ers game I recorded. wow, our defense looks much better than I expected they would. I almost forgot that we picked up Carlos Rogers. Seems to be a big improvement over the previous #22 we had at corner.


and oh yeah, Duck Phallus. Didn't care for their game but seemed like they were doing well until that collapse though.

Man in one of my leagues the dude had everyone. One of those weeks where your team produces but you just get way outproduced.

Free Week 1 Sunday Ticket was me in front of the TV alllllll day (also recovering from cold). So many stud QB days. So many 300 yard passing days.

As I've said in the past in the Rex Grossman/Tony Romo debate...I think they are both the same type of player.

That pick to Revis Island was the nail in the coffin. We started out so strong, just couldn't keep the momentum going. On a positive note, I'm pleased with Ryan's defense and hopefully Dez Bryant's injury is minor.

I thought the nail was when Romo stupidly thought he could make the end-zone with all those players in front of him. WTF was he thinking...?

Nah, we still could have won even after the fumble. Obviously, red zone turnovers are killers but for the majority of the game we controlled the tempo. Anyways, I'm still big on my Boys, no fair weather fan here. With the G-men looking vulnerable, I can still hope for a wildcard spot and if Vick gets injured as he's prone to do, the Eagles are far from a lock for the East. 16 weeks a long season makes.

I'm up almost 9 points but my opponent Cajunese has #85. Gotta hope your fins keep him grounded tonight. Jets D and Ray Rice came through for me, had I started Sproles I would have been up 20+.

I got ride of Sanchez for Bradford, hopefully Schaub posts better #s this weekend.

Yeah, I doubt the Steelers are going to have that turnover fest again...no Mike Tomlin team is going to repeat that.

Still, I do have to say the Ravens put in an impressive performance. Rice was terrific.

i have Jets D and Ray Rice too in my league, they were pretty awesome. I started big ben though, which kinda killed me. Should've played Stafford.

I dumped Stafford for Sanchez before the season even began I was so big on Schaub. Now I dumped Sanchez for Bradford but I'm thinking of getting rid of Bradford for Fitzpatrick. Bradford hurt his finger in his throwing hand but I think he will still have a good season.

I had amendola, so I guess I need to figure out who to pick up instead Bradford lost a decent weapon too, but I am pretty high on him too. This is my first time ever playing Fantasy, so I really don't know too much though.

In the our league Endo started Stafford when he should have played Newton LOL. Whodathunk Cam would go frickin ballistic like that?

I came in 2nd in our league last year with Favre and Hassalbeck as my only QBs. Dwayne Bowe and DeSean Jackson were on fire down the stretch, I barely got past Endo in the playoffs I think by only 1-2 points.

Anyhow, I kept Bradford and just dumped Hassalbeck for Fitzpatrick. J (Asianspec) is up on Fitzpatrick so we'll see how he does. I just need backup in case Schaub doesn't produce. Can't expect Ray Rice to tee off every weekend.

Jesus. Henne has had some horrible throws into the endzone.

And then the Fins' D gives up a 99.5 yard pass.

brady and welker are killing it, i'm glad i'm not playing against a team with one of them in fantasy. I was hoping Ochocinco would have a bigger role in the Pats offense, it looks like they don't need him at all.

I love how Brady can stand in the pocket all year...long enough for him to receive his HP TouchPad.


Wow...if only Cutler was allowed that sort of protection.

On any given week, I may cheer for 2 or 3 teams. The 49ers of course being one of them. The other two being whoever plays the Cowboys and Raiders

Seriously.... if those two teams went 0-16 for 16 consecutive seasons, I wouldn't feel much pity. Go Broncos!

He played a role. He was a decoy.

There were I think 4 games where both QB's passed for 300 yards or more in the same game. Of course Miami had to top it all by giving up 500 million yards. Oh wait, I think Brady just passed another 40 yarder to a TE. All the moves we made backfired on us. New LB's to cover TE's cut certain CB's Shake up the O-line again and get Bush move around sackmaster Cam Wake to the backup RT :pancakeowned: I have no idea why this retard owner, who's dearly trying to piss everyone off, didn't want to let Ireland go. At least Henne probalby had his best game ever. Of course he STILL has no fade throw and no long distance touch with wide open receivers.

The Dolphins can take solace in breaking Brady's consecutive regular season passes without an interception streak.

But they are still losers.

You know why your LeDophs lost...? They stupidly didn't get LeBron onto the field. If he was throwing the football, he would've tossed for 64234 yards in the game. And be 12 for 12. And have 97 TDs.

Brady would've stood in his pocket and wept. Sure would've been more entertaining than watching him pick his nose with all that time he had.
