It does when one team is the fucking JAGUARS and the other is the JETS. When one is known for it's stingy running D and the other is known for being an embarrassment. Are you all really that dense? | ||

With a player like Matt Forte, who doesn't just run but is a damn good receiver as well, it doesn't matter if he's against a stout run defense, because he has way more upside than an inferior player like Bradshaw even if Bradshaw is against the Jaguars. It's not like it's hard to imagine Forte catching a pass and taking it to the house against the Jets. Meanwhile you always gotta worry about Bradshaw making the most of every single touch he gets because he's splitting time. Even against a poor run defense it's hard to expect all that much with so little touches. Just because it happened to turn out well this time doesn't mean it was the right decision pre-20/20 hindsight. After one or two more games of Forte doing bad, then it'll be time to reconsider. Alright, I'll concede to the RB outscoring the other in PPR fantasy leagues. | ||

Quick, think of excuses." Also I hear a little bit of, "RG3 is dumb/stupid/stubborn, but if I say any of those things I might get called racist. Whats a good way to explain this away...?" Personally, I think that they both are mediocre, and the team is crippled because of shitty drafting, the RG3 trade, and bleh free agency acquisitions. Being mediocre as a QB in the NFL is no longer ~200 yards, 1 TD and 1 Int per game, instead it is wild fluctuations between 400 yards/4TDs and 100 yards/4INTs (Good/Elite QBs now have those same good days, but 250/2/1 as the bad day). Sample sizes are fairly small with these two QBs, particularly with the new "system" so the fluctuations we have seen are to be expected. As a side note, RG3's coach and fellow players from Baylor actually describe him as something of an intellectual. | ||

It's like aa vs some crappy starting hands in poker. Sometimes you get lucky but playing around like that week to week is not a recipe for success Yeah I was just being facetious. That being said, Foles is not a stud. | ||

Packers > Bears. Desperation game for the Packers. If they lose this, we can write them off. Bills > Texans. Okay, I'm going with the Bills one more time. If they lose, then we chalk up their first two performances as aberrations. Colts > Titans. Colts should have this, but the lack of pass rush is troubling. Ravens > Carolina. The Panthers really disappointed me last week. I like the Ravens at home. Lions > Jets. Lions are better than I thought. Steelers > Bucs. Really good win by the Steelers last week. The Bucs, on the other hand, are a dumpster fire. Dolphins > Raiders. Who cares. Chargers > Jags. Let's see what Bortles can do, but the Jags are still awful until further notice. Falcons > Vikings. Vikings aren't as good as I thought they were going to be. The O line hasn't been as good as it should be. The Falcons, on the other hand, are looking fairly decent. Their middling defense should be enough. Niners > Eagles. Okay, surely the Niners won't implode a third week in a row. Right? I can't even begin to describe how frustrating they've been to watch. Saints > Cowboys. Saints look like their ready to go. I feel like the Cowboys defense has overachieved so far. This is where they come crashing back down to earth. Also, this is a primetime game, so there's a good chance that we see something hilarious from Romo. Pats > Chiefs. This is a tough one. I don't like the Chiefs. But I also don't like the Pats. Tom Brady and the Pats offense have not looked great. EDIT: One more note on the Eagles/Niners game --- given how banged up the Eagles O-line is, the Niners SHOULD be able to actually generate some pressure with the pass rush. If not, oh boy.... | ||

Foles looked good before chip arrived in town. What metric do you want me to cite? Td to int ratio would be too easy, perhaps you want me to extrapolate his yardage totals to a full season? His win loss record? I was talking in terms on fantasy btw when I said second to manning. Not the same as real life, but still that has to mean something.. | ||

Tentatively I have decided on Cutler, Greene, and Evans. Am I doing this right? | ||
