I only use FF "gurus" to give me an idea of someone who should be on my radar. NEVER for start/sit. Speaking of which I should have started AP. Just like that he's back And how the fuck did the Fins win in Atlanta. I saw some of the 1st half and was like nope at halftime and watched a movie. I checked after the movie and we had won

Good win for Miami, but wtf is going on with Atlanta. Not that I'm deeply concerned outside of the fact I have Matt Ryan and Devonta Freeman in FFB and Ryan has been dumpster fire bad with respect to FFB. But the whole Atlanta team does not seem to have the mojo they had last year.

" NY judge GRANTS NFL player union request to temporarily block Zeke Elliott's suspension for domestic violence."

https://www.yahoo.com/sports/ezekiel...235128608.html

The ruling from the Southern District of New York means Elliott can play against the San Francisco 49ers, the Cowboys’ next game on Sunday. The restraining order, issued by Judge Paul A. Crotty, will last 14 days, leaving Elliott eligible to also play in Dallas’ game against the Washington Redskins on Oct. 29.

Before Tuesday’s ruling, the league’s suspension of Elliott was reinstated Oct. 12 after Louisiana’s 5th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled, 2-1, that a federal judge had improperly issued a preliminary injunction on Elliott’s punishment from the league.

Losing that case was critical for Elliott. It forced him to take his argument to New York, a venue that has proved favorable toward the NFL in matters of due process and the league’s collective-bargaining agreement. It’s where the New England Patriots’ Tom Brady lost his case in the deflate-gate scandal, an issue that largely boiled down to the CBA-sanctioned powers granted to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell in the appeals process.

However, the court ruled in Elliott’s favor on Tuesday.

Elliott’s legal team and the NFL will meet again in a New York court, this time before Judge Katherine Failla, to argue whether a temporary restraining order will be granted to Elliott.

Elliott is scheduled to return to Cowboys practice Wednesday.

Thing about living in Northern California. (I hate all N. California teams football and basketball) you have to hear people go on and on about how they won. Raider fans right now are on this OMG we are the best team mentality right now because they won. Which yea, cool you beat the Chiefs, but lost to the weak ass Chargers the week before and your RB was ejected.

I laughed so hard when I heard he took the bart home after the game.

They said he was able to get into the locker room after the game to congratulate the team.

Every time I miss a Fins game it's a close one. Cutler out a few weeks with busted ribs.

I think it's safe to say that aside from the guys that got injured, Matt Ryan is the biggest fantasy football bust in the league (which is the only reason I'm interested in the Falcons... ). What the heck is going on with that offense. Not that ours is lighting it up by any stretch so I can't talk. I don't know why it takes the Seahawks half a game to get it's act together. We are a 9-7 or 10-6 team that will lose the first playoff game. 2013 seems a long time ago.....

I'm honestly starting to think Dan Quinn is a massive idiot. The fourth down play near the goal line was one of the worst calls I've ever seen

Are the seahawks still having o-line issues?

Seahawks have been having O-line issues for the past couple of season, nothing has changed with them.

I feel like once Marshawn left(other reasons as well), the team sort of crumbled, but, that's just my opinion.

Seahawks offense only works because of Wilson. I don't think any other QB survives back there let alone does so much. Even before Seattle won their first SB, back when Kaepernick still inspired fear, I said I would rather have Wilson.

Falcons made a boneheaded OC hiring, Sarkisian hasn't proven himself at all. They retained all of their offensive talent. Biggest change is Shanahan leaving, who unfairly gets a lot of flak. I would rather have Shanahan than Harbaugh at this point.
