Your whole D-line is out. If we would of just started Keenum I don't think it would of been a 3 point game.

I'm stashing Turbisky on my roster in FFB (for next season). He did show some promise.

Yeah, the injuries have basically destroyed ANY hope of the Bears having a competitive season. Add to that issue on D is that the QBs have no help at WR.

And oh, when the WRs DO catch something, the Bears are shooting themselves by having a costly penalty.



At this rate, I suspect Fox et al will be fired by end of season and so, another new coach/staff and another new system...so, it'll just be a circular world of awful per Da Bears.

TFW you realize the Bears had Brandon Marshall, Alshon Jeffery, and Greg Olsen at one point.

Yes, I do. But then, you realize the Bears had an inept O-line and/or QB to go with that. So, wash.

Guy who had Elliott on his roster picked up Alfred Morris literally two minutes before I logged on to add him. Got McFadden instead, gonna wait and see.

Goodell's wife, hilarious.

Why are these guys getting their feelings hurt? Making tens of millions of dollars a year... I already don't give a crap now, if I made that much nobody's opinion would matter.

By the way, Goodell makes over $30mm a year. 30+ mil to stand up on a podium and let the owners play Sesame Street with their collective arms elbow-deep up his rectum.

I was at work and couldn't pick up either DMC or Alf Mo (I have Zeke). Oh well...such is life. But did trade for DMC just now though so we'll see.

From what I've been reading, DMC is apparently going to be the featured back with Alf Mo doing change of pace duties.....

Hmm I have AP and Andre Ellington. Morris and DMC are available. Nobody else I could really drop.

The problem I see is it's not clear if one is going to take over the work load or if it will be by committee. Half of Elliott's production isn't worth making huge sacrifices over. Now if it's mostly one or the other, that would be different. Problem is we'll need a few weeks now to see....

I picked up DMC and dropped Maclin (ok he was droppable). I've read that DMC is the heir apparent because Morris is more change of pace. Also Cowboys' site has him listed as #2 but not sure how accurate that is.

I want to as well, and he's available, but I have six already (the max) - four I want to keep because they produce and two potential keepers for next year (Devonta Freeman, Lamar Miller, Javorius Allen, James White, Marlon Mack and Matt Breida). I could buy maybe dumping White for DMC, but if he's not the man it's a throwaway.

A bigger head scratcher is how the Steelers can lose and look like against Jacksonville, but blow out and own the 5-0 Chiefs handily. Definitely frustrating... But I'll take the win

Honestly the second I saw the replay I knew it was a touchback. The rule is absurd but they made the correct call

The call on the field was a touchdown so they clearly had enough evidence to overturn it

The worst offense... With no offense.. Is beating the best defense. This nfl year is fucking cray cray.

Plus injuries abound.

I was chatting with some buddies today. I turned to that fantasy football now show on espn and listened to them yap about knowing everything. They are wrong about 98% of shit and it pains me to think they get paid for this shit lol. I mean. Seriously i can also say what I THINK.

My observation is few players are doing what the statistics say they should. That's always the case, but this year seems way worse than other years when it comes to just random production. Guys that by the numbers should go off wind up with next to nothing. Then some random guy gets 3 TDs. I mean the #1 receiver for NYG tonight isn't even in ESPNs FFB system. I know these analysts rely a lot on the statistics - I just think things are so freaking random this year the statistics don't mean what they used to in past years. I drafted a good team with no injuries and I'm 1-5. This whole season makes no sense.

I stopped listening to "fantasy experts" when Matthew Berry told me to sit Reggie Wayne in a late season game because the Colts already clinched their playoff spot and they weren't going to play many starters. Wayne had 3tds and I lost my league.

Oh and this was like 10yrs ago. I hold grudges
