Ouch! I'm just glad we finally threw a ball to Graham. I couldn't figure out why we'd go get one of the best TE's in the game and then not use him.....

Ok. Time to sit Anderson for good. Worthless...

Going into last night's game I was 2.22 points behind my fantasy opponent. He had 0 players left and I had 3 left... Anderson, Cobb, Prater. After last night's game I am 2.52 points behind. WTF! Horrible.

Luckily I still have Cobb tonight, so it SHOULD be a lock for me.

Glad to see this in the game plan for last night, and that it worked relatively well. Still no running game but at least Peyton looked more comfortable. I'm sure the rushing yards will come once the OL gets more playing time together.

Not sure why you say that. Their offense isn't playing up to the standards we've become accustomed to but their defense is the best in the NFL right now. They're playing complementary football and their record shows it.

I might pickup Vick just for the hell of it and let Ben ride the bench for 4-6wks. The steelers have the weapons especially with Martavis coming back so who knows


Its either that or start Alex Smith

Dolphins, 49ers, Bears look terrible.

The 49ers loss against the Steelers was much closer than indicated, but the secondary is getting abused out there. The loss of their two best pass rushers didn't help. I knew this season was going to be bad, and it's still only week 3, but it's hard to stomach it all.

Ugh, I had those two on my bench this week and started Johnathan Stewart, David Johnson and Isiah Crowell instead...

Needless to say, I'm going to lose by 80 points.

Interesting stat from Brady's 400 TD pass

Brady is now 4th overall in TD's behind Manning, Favre and Marino. Here are their career INT ranks:

Favre - 1st

Marino - 8th

Manning - 13th

Brady - 61st


Rodgers will be up there eventually with his TD/INT ratio

Yeah, hoping the Ben injury isn't that bad. They're still being very unclear about it. Definitely not happy to see the dog murderer starting

Tyrod got me 30.3 pts subbing for Romo. I know he may be up and down but I'll take it for now.

And Julio Jones may be the best thing that I lucked into this season. The guy is a beast.

I met a dog lover and owner who had lunch with Vick.

What Vick did was deplorable, and that same person that met Vick hated Vick's mere existence. But after getting to know Mike, he feels like he did his time and genuinely appears to be a changed man now.

Also picked up Tyrod for Romo. I think he has the best upside of any of the free agent QBs out there.

Now what to do with CJA... gosh.. what a letdown yet again...

Thought the Steelers were going to hold a conference @ 12:00, but haven't seen anything in terms of any sort of update.

They did hold PC and Tomlin said he didn't really know more about Ben that they did last night. One thing he knew..., Ben was going to be the QB this Thursday against B'more.

I'm reduced to hoping that Minnesota dark horses the Pack right up the keister.

And rooting for the Pats to repeat.

TBD. The Bears have so many holes to fill, I would have to see some serious post season rankings of players before I said "spend a 1st round pick on something you already have", but Goff has all the things you would theoretically want.

I just don't know if I want an uncertain quarterback at the expense of some blue chip defensive talent at this point.

I don't love Cutler, but I look at the Texans, the Rams, and a bunch of teams with talent and I realize that have no quarterback to the point where Cutler is big upgrade.

Not that that would ever happen, but would present a conundrum of sorts for you.

Given Yummy's personal devotion to Brady's love of soft supple balls, you know he'd become Brady's personal equipment manager (ball handler) for Brady if he came to the Bears

Need Arian Foster and DeMarco Murray to heal up. If I had started Blue I'd be 3-0 in both leagues.

Well, considering that I know Brady is a 3rd-rate QB without the cheating and enhancements, I would not be surprised he was traded to Chicago at some point to continue the string of inept QBs.



When he joins, I'll be cheerfully waiting on each terrible throw and INT he makes like Cutler.
