Pretty sure you can't be 13-3 SO FAR if you still have a game to go.
And seeing as how in my NFC East Preview, I gave the Cowboys/Giants a 1-1 record against one another, OBVIOUSLY they have to win one game or another, so the home game would make the most sense. So it wasn't a homer pick.
The difference was a fluke INT off of Witten's foot. If not for that play, the Giant's wouldn't have scored that FG, and the end result would have been a complete turnaround.
But I wasn't aware Hasselbeck got injured. I looked at stats at the bottom of the TV for one of the games I was watching, and it was talking about Seneca Wallace. I was like WTF? If I had known that, I would've picked the 49ers.
Well then my pick was still logical. Hasselbeck isn't exactly a scrub QB. I can imagine if he hadn't gotten injured, the 49ers wouldn't have won as easily as they did.
It's not that I underestimate the 49ers, it's that I probably overestimated the Seahawks. I think I actually have the 49ers winning the division. But my picks the past two weeks haven't exactly been WILD picks. Cardinals are still a good team, and I figured with Matt back, the Seahawks would be good again It's an odd number year.
Seriously, we have 3 TO's now, and we're only 3 points behind. Giants are just getting extremely lucky (the fumble by Jones on the return has also luck. The defender barely got a hand on it)
Lucky plays are winning ball games today. The Titans and Texans game, Collin's fumble without contact won the Texans the game too.
Score is 14-13 right now, Cowboys, and Cowboys have turned the ball over 2 times, and held the Giants to 2 FG's in the red zone.
That just shows you that the Cowboys know how to overcome adversity. The Giants are inexperienced at WR and DB's, and it's showing. Plus, Cowboys are stopping the run.
I had a long intro video when I first started the channel (like 30 secs?) but I stopped using it and cut it down to what it is now. It had a bunch of amazing sports clips. I used it in a couple of my first videos. I mainly stopped using it because it was long and I didn't want my videos to get flagged for using copyright stuff. But I left it on the first vids I did if you want to check it out.
Thanks for the advice...like I said I never played before...and missed my draft so it was auto pick...My QB's are Schaub and Trent Edwards. I'm guesssing I need another QB so I might grab Sanchez or Leftwich who are left!!!
Yea, I'm giving up on Schaub. I really thought this was his year, but I have my doubts. Keep him on your roster for another week or so just to make sure (but if you drop him, I doubt anyone will pick him up unless he does outstanding)
Edwards is a good option this week. Yea, Sanchez looked good, but I'd also give him another week or two before I start him to see if Houston was just a fluke.
Leftwich also looked good against my Dallas Cowboys.
First time fantasy player and got a question...would you start Marion Barber wk 2 vs Giants?...also not comfortable starting Braylon Edwards or Brandon Marshall week 2...my only fillers are Michael Jenkins and Patrick Crayton...and im not benching Colston. With Colston startig...which other two WR'S would you start out of this bunch?
Barber will be good inside 20. So unless you have another stud, start him
I agree about Edwards and Marshall. One has a QB but a WR who drops balls, and the other has a WR with a QB that can't throw. If I had to choose, I'd go with Marshall just because Cleveland's DB's aren't fantastic, while DEN has Bailey and Dawkins. But Quinn might be able to tear it apart.
I'd start Jenkins against Carolina. Roddy White will probably be doubled, so Ryan's 2nd/3rd option is Jenkins.
Crayton's also an option. If Romo has a good game, Crayton's going to be a pivotal part of it. But it's a rivalry game against a great defense (although the DB's aren't the best in the league) but as the slot WR, Crayton could do some damage.
If you REALLY don't want to start Marshall or Edwards, I'd just go with Jenkins and Crayton.
Carson Palmer is one of my favorite QB's in the NFL, and he's got 2 WR's that are proven. But the defense and running game is still questionable, while the Packers have a good QB, 2 great WR's, a decent running game, and a defense that forced 4 INT's against a Pro Bowl QB. So it's gotta be Green Bay FTW.
I think of STL, one phrase comes to mind, "Oh, how the mighty have fallen" Remember how STL was from the mid 90's-early 00's? Marshall Faulk, Kurt Warner, Torry Holt, Issac Bruce, Aeneas Williams, Todd Light, etc, they were the "Greatest show on turf," but now with Mark Bulger missing in action, Steven Jackson somewhat slowed down by injuries the last few years, lack of recievers-(it's always hard 2 replace 2 stud recievers), the Rams play bad enough 2 send a stinky smell through your tv set....
I love how you still have the sign in the background, "Beat the loser, jealous, Fakers!!!" LMFAO!!! The quartet of Aaron Rodgers, Ryan Grant, Donald Driver, & Greg Jennings looked pretty damn good out there Sunday night against Chicago. With the Brett Favre drama now 2 seasons removed, Rodgers is doing a good job making a name 4 himself, not just "The guy GB signed 4-5 years ago 2 backup the GB legend." LB A.J. Hawk, & veteran CB's Al Harris & Charles Woodson spearhead a solid defense as well...
I agree that Chicago should go after Marvin Harrison. Unlike the Plaxico Burress situation last year, Marvin isn't expected 2 go 2 jail right away should a team sign him this week. It's a shame when your best reciever isn't even a true reciever, Harrison would give them leadership on the field & an established routerunner even @ his age-(Marvin played better late in the '08 season & in the '08 postseason). The Bears have the right idea by contacting Derrick Brooks 2 replace Brian Urlacher's spot
I hadn't heard about Brooks replacing Urlacher. Smart move by the Bears. But they still need help on offense. While I've heard that Harrison is just a quieter version of TO (he doesn't act like a fool for the media, just in the locker room) he's still got the skills needed for a WR1.
I love how all these national analysts kept saying "Favre won his 1st game as a Vikings QB!" Without "AP's" 180 yards, they don't win, AP won that game. I really wanna see Sanchez & N.E. go @ it, because Sanchez looked extremely poised, & N.E. would've lost last night's game against Buffalo if KR/CB Leotis McKelvin would've either downed the ball in the endzone after N.E.'s kickoff, or if he wouldn't have kept trying 2 fight 4 yardage-(that gave Brandon Merriweather a shot 2 strip the ball).....
I'm scared 4 my Eagles against the Saints, we just signed Jeff Garcia which makes me happy, but we're starting Kevin Kolb @ QB. Drew Brees is on fire-(just like last season's 5,000 yard performance), & he's showing why he's easily a "top 5" (if not top 3) QB in the league now. I still expect our offense 2 play well & I think we will win this game as long as Kolb doesn't blow this game. Eagles=34 Saints=30
I doubt Kolb is capable to put up that many points. Unless Westbrook and McCoy run for like 300 yards between the two of them, I just can't see the Eagles winning (unless they take Kolb out and let Garcia play)
Just like you said, "you never know," because N.E.'s defense didn't look too good against Buffalo last night-(especially run defense, they kept falling for screen passes & check-downs). If Sanchez can remained poised in the pocket, get 4-5 secs. to throw the ball from his O-Line, then we could see a little bit of a game. RB's-Thomas Jones & Leon Washington should help him out with the ground game, & with Pats ILB-Jerrod Mayo hurt, Sanchez's best friend & top target should be his TE-Dustin Keller
Im nude.

RB's: jones-Drew, Portis

I can start one more guy:
Marion Barber, Derrick Ward, Chester Taylor, Clayton, or Patrick Crayton
This cant be good team for a first time player!!!
cerano50 2 years ago
Umm, dude. You have a great team, especially in the RB dept. (I don't know about your QB situation)
I'm assuming the "start one more guy" is a RB/WR combo.
Go with a RB. Barber would be a good option. Ward would too, but I have more faith in Barber's goal line threat.
