EPTIf, by some miracle, the Bears also go, I will be dropping whatever money necessary to see that game live.

Speaking of weak schedules, I saw that the winning percentage of the Falcons' opponents so far this year is under .400. Talk about weak sauce. That Giants game can't come soon enough. That said, I do want to see the Falcons win just to help keep the Giants out of the playoffs (not that I think that this is likely). | ||

They should be scary in the playoffs, because if they get ahead a score or two, they're hard to come back on The Broncos had all 3 of their losses in the first 5 games. The early weeks are often rough for teams, especially considering the time it must take to get accustomed to Peyton Manning as your QB. (Hell, even the Packers struggled in their first 5 games). Now that they're on a roll and have that chemistry going, I would be shocked if they lost to some of those teams again. | ||

The problem is that they sometimes get too aggressive, so they get beat on big plays. But the aggression is also what makes them good, so it'll happen sometimes I guess. | ||

WRs are White (car), Demaryius Thomas (Oak), Marshall (Minn) Bryant (cinci) I was originally thkning of going 2rb, 2te, but I am so much stronger at WR it is insane. I think any of those WRs are a better start than Greene. The question is who do I leave out there? I was thinking of going Charles, White, DT, Marshall.... but Bryant has been on fire lately (29 catches 475yds and 6 td in the last 4 games) Marshall is questionable and has been TDless in two. White has sucked lately but I am pretty sure Carolina's D sucks more Personally, I'd go: Greene, Charles, Marshall, Bryant. (Assuming you didn't already play DT) Carolina is a top 10 pass defense so I'm not sold on Roddy White, Cleveland has a good pass defense so it's likely Charles gets a lot of work as well. Marshall usually torches Minnesota (and if you're in a PPR he's a lock for 20~ points) and Dez has been on fire lately. Greene or DT are the last one I'd go with, and I'd go Greene over White/DT/Dwill because he's likely to be more of an offensive focus. Dwill hasn't done anything all season to warrant a start, and already covered the others/too late for DT | ||

I just don't think they are a great team or anything, but certainly a team that is good enough to go far if teams play to their playstyle | ||

As a Dolphin's fan that pisses me off that would even piss you off. Not the fact you couldnt stop it, but the fact they simply ran the same play over and over. Shut your mouth and play better next time. | ||

It's disrespectful to the game and the fans that the Dolphins D couldn't manage a stop. How is that disrespectful? Because it's rubbing in the fact that one team is too incompetent to stop it? Very seriously, I'd cut the guy that went public with that complaint. | ||

Continuing on with that story, players took to twitter today to express their sympathies. Leave it to Chris Kluwe to be the next guy to the podium to preach to others during a tragedy. Seriously, I wish that asshole would shut the fuck up. You're a fucking punter and no one has even an ounce of respect for your position, or your opinion. Shut your stupid mouth, asshole. | ||

Sigh my FF season is totally doomed. My opponents team is too damned good. It's by far the highest scorng team in my FF leagues 10 year history. Rg3 Peterson Richardson Martin AJ Green Reggie Wayne Owen Daniels Bears D. The Number 1 PRK in QB, RB, WR and D/ST. His ballsy play of taking AP 2nd overall and 2 rookie RBs early really paid off, as well as not taking a QB till RG3 really late. Anyone lucky enough to draft the Bears D really fell into the butter tub as well. What a freakishly amazing year they have had. | ||

Do they think they're still in high school or something? Play to win, suck it up if you don't. Though this isn't necessarily a running up the score story, I also have no respect for the people that bitch about that. There's nothing unsportsmanlike or disrespectful about it. If anything, it's showing respect to the other team by saying "we're going to make sure we score enough that you can't possibly come back, because we respect you too much to assume that there's no way you could catch up." I was never an athlete so maybe I'm missing something fundamental here, but I'd be more pissed if my opponent started benching their starters with a quarter left to play, personally. The game isn't over until there's no conceivable way for the team that's behind to come back; hell, we saw the Patriots score three touchdowns in the span of a minute against the Jets. Do people really think Belichick is so stupid that he watches that happen and says "oh but there's no way that could happen to MY team, I'm gonna bench Brady because we're up by 20"? | ||
