I got my first win, thanks in part to....wait for it....Harrison Butker (KC K). Got me 18 points, which was 4th highest on my roster behind Tyreek Hill, Ben Roethlisberger, and Elliott. And Elliott was only 1.2 points ahead.

I think that int was a catch.

The defensive holding call was accurate, it was just the timing that was sus. Sherman does it fairly regularly, saw it a lot when he was in Seattle. But it turned a 3rd and 15 into a 1st and 10.

The no call at the endzone with 6 seconds left was shit. The CB never turned around to find the ball and was almost hugging our guy. Either way, too close for comfort!

Ben is on a bye so my backup is Stafford against Miami off a bye. However Jameis is a free agent playing Cleveland. What do you guys think?

^ Seems like a coin flip to me. I can see TB/CLE becoming a sloppy shootout...4 TDs and 3 INTs for both QBs wouldn't be a big surprise. I moved on from Stafford as my backup a while ago and he's currently available in both of my leagues. I think Patricia working to establish the run game has hurt his fantasy production this year. His attempts per week have been low the past 3 games.

I have a lot of tough decisions to make this week...no players on either team are on bye weeks.

Even if the Pats are cheating per usual, no need: Bears are giving the game away by Mitch not being able the hit the broadside of the barn and the special teams being complete today.

No cheating but would agree Trubisky missed a lot of opportunities. Also would agree with special teams assessment.

Sure looked like there could have been some flags on that last hail mary play, but ya know... Patriots, so....

The KC offense looks unstoppable. Good grief. And I get back to my losing ways because of Hunt.

SF deserves better than what it's getting from QB, but the O line couldn't stop anything either.

I have both Gurley and Hunt on my team....let's just say this week is pretty good so far! 6 TDs between 2 players....not too shabby

But yeah as a KC/Chiefs fan....mmmm that was awesome. I can get used to scoring 40+ week in and week out.

Oh and our defense showed up today. Holding them to 10pts AND getting a defensive TD. 6-1

Would've been cool/amazing if they got the TD...just literally inches short.


Anyways, Bears are back to earth at 3-3 and they have some big-time adjustments to do after getting doses of humble pie from playing the Fish and the Pats. The sad thing is, both those games and even against the Fackers were winnable if Chicago was not too busy sabotaging itself.

I literally "fuck this" after the pick 6 and turned it off

Good luck the rest of the year...I've always liked the Chefs

Obviously nobody is safe on that team. I can see them drafting Gruden's "future star QB" next year and dealing Carr.

It's starting to become the new norm in all sports. Look at what the Astros have done over the past 9 years for one example.

Yup, should be a very very interesting/exciting game. Both teams on neutral field.

It's gonna be a race between the Patriots and Chiefs to that #1 AFC seed

Yeah your DEF can only do so much when the offense basically says: "Oh hai visiting NFL Team, here let me roll the red carpet out for ya...here's the buffet, here's the football, and here's the endzone. Make yourselves at home!"

I agree - I can understand the strategy. They start playing in Vegas next year - Carr clearly hasn't panned out so why not draft the future QB and make a splash as you start over in a new market. They are going to get a top 5 pick if they keep up the way they are, Dallas just handed them a mid round pick. Maybe Carr gets them an early second...

He probably would be a lot better with a team that had an offensive line that actually does something but thats not what we have. We either need to fix the O line (which we can't seem to do) or get a mobile QB.
