I can't think of a better way to promote the NFL than having a showmatch between the 1-6 49ers and 2-5 Broncos -_- You guys are saying this like people expected the 49'ers to be terrible this year. I'm not sure why Denver was included, but the 9'ers were expected to be one of the better NFC teams this season. | ||

I never understood the point of 2 QB leagues though. Why 2 QB's? The other things made sense. 3 WR, 1 TE, 2 HB, and a QB... that's pretty much a starting offensive lineup, minus the OLine. Unless you're the '07 Cardinals, though, you're only playing 1 QB per game. | ||

It seems like most leagues use only 1 QB in the starting lineup ... is there a reason why? This is my 3rd year in the same league, and it's been either 8 or 10 teams. | ||

I think it's for the reason that I just stated, but I'm not 100% sure that's the actual reason. It seems like QB points would get out of hand quickly though. By the way, HAWK... my guy is starting for your team this week. I expect you to root hard for him. Watch him blow the fuck up, and you have egg on your face. I grabbed Donovan in my money league, they better blow the Lions up this week. I thought about grabbing Stafford too, but I figure that he'll just get knocked out again. | ||

I thought about grabbing Stafford too, but I figure that he'll just get knocked out again. I'm in a 2 QB league with 12 teams and I really do not prefer it that way. All starting QBs are taken, so when a QB gets injured you end up having to get some shitty backup, which sometimes you can't even get 'cause someone might take it before you off waivers. I am so glad I was finally able to grab a backup QB (Jon Kitna) with these bye weeks coming up for my QBs. One of my friends lost three QBs to injury/benching early on in the season so he was only playing with one viable QB until Roethlisberger came back. >_> And tonight, you were trying to trade for BOTH Mendenhall and Bradshaw in one trade? Or trading for one with three players? Because the former would not make sense obviously. =s I wouldn't take the trade either because Mendenhall and Bradshaw are both good, consistent (for the most part) RBs. Whereas you can't count on Keller at all, and no one knows how long Addai/Collie will be out. Nicks makes it tempting but if you have a good WR core already and need the RB then yeah... | ||

Me Opponent Donovan McNabb Mark Sanchez Steven Jackson LaDainian Tomlinson Michael Bush Frank Gore Reggie Wayne Hines Ward Calvin Johnson Greg Jennings Tony Moeaki John Carlson Sebastian Janikowski Nick Folk Oakland Raiders Atlanta Falcons I think I push at QB with McNabb v Det, and Sanchez v GB. Hopefully GB gets a lot of pressure. Sanchez has performed far better than I ever thought he would, but I wonder if we weren't starting to see the real Sanchez vs Denver two weeks ago. I still don't think he's good; I think he's a below-average to average QB behind a great running game, a great offensive line, and an amazing defense; the defense is important because he doesn't have to worry about every throw being complete, because he knows an incomplete leading to a punt won't kill his team the majority of the time. Most QB's do not have that luxury. I think I again push with SJax v Car, and Gore v Den. Both of them should beat up on the other team a lot. The good thing is that Denver is gonna be mad about the embarrassment they took last week, so they should come out looking to stop the run. Plus Troy Smith is starting at QB, so Gore will see 9 in the box, no doubt. If it were reasonable to put all 11 there, they would. And Carolina... Carolina is terrible. Gore gashed them last week, SJax is a better runner, playing on a better offense than Gore right now. I see no reason for SJax to not put up nearly identical numbers to last week, with the possible addition of a TD. Luckily for SJax owners, that broken finger is on his left hand, and I think he carries the majority with his right. Plus he's a fucking baller (i.e. not a pussy), and he'll handle the pain like a baller would. I lose LT vs Bush I think, but mostly because Bush loses a lot of carries to DMac. I have JStew as my only other HB (I'm looking to move Bush, Steve Johnson, Dez Bryant, and a future third for LT... I throw in the future third because I'm not going to be in this league next year, so there's no loss for me there). I think Bush has all the tools to be a very good HB in the NFL; we've seen some great games from him, but he'll always have to deal with DMac. But I think they make a nice combination, Bush is much more of a bruising runner than DMac is (this guy can't break tackles at all), and I think that's what will save him in the long run. Most teams aren't going to lay down and let your run for 140 and two touchdowns, plus another 80 or so receiving and a TD. I don't think Seattle will allow him to do what Denver did... I don't think he's good enough to repeat that feat. I win at WR. Indy vs Houston... Indy should be able to pass on them this time around. I really hope so anyway. GB v NYJ... Jennings will probably have to take on Revis, and while he didn't look amazing a couple of weeks ago vs Denver, his hamstring should be good to go by now. I think (mostly hope) that GB v NYJ will be a low scoring affair. That'd be ideal for me, but I worry about the number 18 defense. GB has talent, but it's not doing what it did last year (not surprising, if you recall how much I hated on them all playoffs long, all off-season, and most of the season so far). They haven't really played great offenses either this year. The Jets have fallen out of the top ten as well, and their pass D is really suffering right now. Still, as mentioned previously, I think that Revis will come back at nearly 100% (I don't think anyone is 100% by this time of the season), and be ready to take on Jennings (I assume). Rodgers doesn't have a "go-to" guy, either, so he's not going to force passes to Jennings when someone else is open on a shorter route, or what have you. The nice thing about GB, they're tied for fourth in interceptions. They have ten on the year, and Sanchez has a hard time diagnosing defenses (despite practicing vs one of the hardest to diagnose, how peculiar), so I think he may throw a couple more here on Sunday (I'm certainly crossing my fingers for this). I just hope it's low scoring, and GB's rushing D decides to show up to play this week. There is no doubt in my mind that they will key on the run, and try to make Sanchez beat them through the air, though. And when this guy throws a lot, bad things are bound to happen. Megatron vs Washington>Ward vs whoever they play. It doesn't matter who, Megatron is 10x's the WR Ward is. I seriously don't think anything more needs to be said about this. I think I have a slight edge at TE, too, though I may throw in Pettigrew. It's Pettigrew vs Washington, or Moeaki vs Buffalo. Pretty much a push there, but Pettigrew has outperformed him recently. My worries actually come from Stafford starting at QB. The offense look atrocious with him last time he played... granted, that was against the Bears, and the Bills D is nowhere near as good as the Bears, so I think I'll be good to go. I'll likely end with Pettigrew in that slot the more I think about it. Kickers... who cares? Defenses.. Obviously my opponent needs a different defense. Coming off their week last week, I'm feeling good about Oakland. Certainly they won't do as well, but it's not like Seattle has a good offense. I'm curious to see who she grabs out of the stellar teams available. Cincy, Buffalo, Denver, Cleveland, Houston, Jacksonville, Tampa, Arizona, Detroit, and Washington are available. None of them are very good defenses... I hate how this league hoards defenses. Oakland isn't great at rushing the passer, and they suck at intercepting the ball (probably because everyone runs against them), but they do cause a lot of fumbles. They have nine forced on the year (7th best), with eight recovered. That's the second highest number recovered (three teams have 9, so they're tied for fourth in recoveries). I was going to write something about how good the percentage is until I realized that recoveries also count for offensive fumbles (the Jets have 7 forced, 9 recovered, for instance). On another note, I don't see why someone would complain about this post referencing fantasy when I did a partial breakdown of the games as well, which is what a lot of the discussion is like in this thread. But, no doubt, this is the type of post that people complain about. They see my fantasy lineup, and skip the post because of it... Although, they'd probably also skip due to length. | ||

I hope...I have him too. lol Denver D has given up big games to RB every other week, so pattern would suggest they'll give Gore a tough game. But 1/3 of Gore's yardage basically come from short passes so Gore may rack up huge yards like he always has this season. | ||

Anyway, from what I can tell, your team seems more likely to win this week, easily. | ||

CJ is having a down year (or he had one better than he is last year, and 11-1400 is his normal amount). And Charles should be killing it like the the last six weeks of last season. KC is so dumb. Apparently there's a statistic somewhere that says every singe 2,000yd RB followed up that 2k rushing season with 1.5k tops ... everyone stacks the box against them. And I've heard there's issues between Charles and the coach, thus his lack of carries. Completely asinine. | ||

Well the source is from a University of Texas rivals site (www.texas.rivals.com), but I believe it was mostly speculation. | ||
