No, in fantasy I'm up by 52 points against Rodgers and Green Bay's defense tonight. It's sad that I'm already expecting to lose. | ||

I don't follow fantasy super closely, but if memory serves, isn't Aaron Rodgers good for ~25 points almost all by himself? I'd say the Falcons have a chance considering how whacky the week has been so far, but it seems like the only constant in football is Aaron Rodgers laughing his ass off while skinning his enemies alive. I think I would give Atlanta more of a shot if their pass rush was a little better. It's gonna be tough anyway, but I'm not sure how you beat a QB like that with no pass rush. | ||

Yep, that's why he's expecting to lose. Quick scoring thus far. Unfortunately, I'm rooting against a Steven Jackson throwback performance. | ||

Much like how Manning, Brady, Brees, and Rodgers dragged their teams into the playoffs in the past 5 seasons (some less so now, Like Brady has a legit defense) only to be held back by the crappy D. I'm not talking about incompetent QBs somehow scoring though. Even with the QB friendly rules, for example, Hoyer and Kaepernick put in truly miserable performances yesterday. Also, the supposedly high-powered Eagles offense got helped by a lot of DST scoring. edit: Looks like the Packers are passing their test against another first place team. haha | ||

Like, your boy Dalton, his fantasy points are 18,14,11,17,18,19,14,-3,21,11,11,26. Sure fantasy points aren't perfect, but they kinda show how you can put out decent performances fairly often, even when you are bad. | ||

I had looked around a bit after you said it was about sos. Heard there's some epic clashes between teams like Titans vs Jets coming up Titans actually playing the Jets and Jags back to back haha | ||

With 259 yards Julio Jones should also have the 18th best single game performance for reception yards http://www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/rec_yds_single_game.htm | ||
