I'm gonna need til Thursday when the hangover wears off. These things take a fresh mind.

Romo just got pulled from the game. Good move by Cowboys.

I traded away Ingram for Maclin midweek. This way madness lies.

I'm worried about him and Clowney... could this be the week? They've given up 2 sacks in about 6 weeks, but that's mostly cos Foles is throwing it away like a frightened child. Yeah looking at Weeden he seemed to cope well in a pinch. It's a good one that one cos win or loss, Eagles win.

Yeah it's nuts. You just wouldn't have confidence with so many. Actually there's very few teams in the NFL that don't have massive gaping holes. Denver would be the only one that seems solid everywhere.

I just had a look. It's tough. Might have to wait one more week. lol

Well.... why not do a top 4, then division winners, then 12... However many you get right you get a point. So, let's say you pick Denver as a top 4 team and they make it, you get a point each for being right in top 12, division winner and 4. If you pick the correct division winners, you'd get 2, and wild cards just 1... Agree week 8 or 9 makes sense for timing...

I think I read that they're very close, next season or the one after, to fixing this... Another NFL vs AFL thing where the NFL embarrass us. When there's inequity, they fix it relatively quickly. Meanwhile the AFL overlooks things for an entire lifetime of a fan. Yeah, 3 tough in next 4, plus a slightly banged up Romo and a LB out for the year... Also Eagles are a fit squad down the stretch under Kelly. But to be perfectly honest how I read it is like this. When the Eagles got done by the Cards, I was resigned to fighting for a wild card. But since they lost to Washington, I think basically it'll come down to the same thing it does every year. Division matches at the end of the season. Cowboys go 2-0, Eagles miss playoffs. Eagles go 2-0 or if they go 1-1 both teams make playoffs. That's about it.

Ah. Yeah makes sense. Although no, I don't agree on his take on the cowboys. Weeden looked good on one drive. Their OL isn't leaking players to injury, so you could put Tebow in there and they'd look good. And yeah, I'm always up for it... Stakes?

Yeah, he's not absolutely terrible. And is certainly the guy for the rest of 2014.... But he's never going to be all that good. His deep balls are loopy monstrosities. He's not a quick mover. He throws poorly when on the move. He's basically just another mid-round QB. He plays as advertised. With a great OC as your coach, and an OL like he had last season, with a RB taking up the defense's time... It should come as no surprise how he's done. But if you want a good QB, you need someone who does well in all situations, like Rivers and Rogers, who play the same with good OL or not. And he's shown he's not really very clutch. He's ok, but not great. Wouldn't crack anyone's top 10 QBs, now or into the future. Weeden looked better than Romo in his one drive, except for a nearly-pick. Watching the footage there seemed to be a lot of Jerry in on that sideline conversation. What's that mean?

Saints, Colts... And my boys Eagles for probably my first pick of them this year.

Foles is [censored]. He's just not a superbowl QB. Watch the Eagles trade everything this offseason for Mariotta.

Except Saints. (And his own hamstrings)

Oh wow. Not regretting Detroit anymore... great finish and great comeback.

Re-done post, Packers, Colts and regretting it now but Detroit.

Gonna make a late change here and put Detroit in my picks and take out... gulp... Seattle.

Ha. Yeah there's some odd things going on with your D. Is it a scheme/DC thing maybe? They were the next big thing in fantasy. I picked, and luckily had Green Bay as a backup. And yeah the Bradford thing is what's great about Davis. He's this completely free pick, 4th string, and he's been really, really good. From what I've seen, you'd be quite comfortable keeping Davis.

Ok, so I'm gonna go ahead and canvas peoples' interest in NFL fantasy. Does anyone play it here? Does anyone play Ultimate footy or dream team in the AFL? My bro and I started the Ultimate Footy league on demonland, but had to get out because of, let's just say, OVER interest. I'm in a 10 team league right now, and it's just the right amount of smack talk and interest. I also find that being a fantasy NFL player is better than AFL, since you don't really care QUITE as much about your favourite team in the NFL... and there's that much football that has no bearing on your own division that you're never conflicted. It's also a lot simpler as there's not so many options, and also a lot smoother since the yanks have been doing it for a long time. So what say you, NFL fans? Anyone up for it? If you're looking for a personal opinion on whether or not it's worth it, first take your head out from underneath the rock, then ask someone... anyone... if it's fun. Or just ask me. It's awesome and we should all be doing it.

I'll trade you Foles for Davis. Seriously, the kid might not be Manning, but right now i'd have him ahead of half the starting QBs in the game. He was sensational against a tough defense. And care to comment on Fisher's play calling? Or was he just saved by genius special teams...

Just saw the fake punt. Gutsiest cll this year?!!

Rams making the Cowboys recent success against the Hawks look second rate... That fake out for the punt return was faaaantastic.

Same as Eagles. Well coached, not much cattle. One superstar started the year not going well...

Yeah got good in the end. Even Smith looked like he came into his own on that last drive. Shame about his 2 pointer though.

GAee whiz Smith is crap

Yeah I've seen enough to put him ahead of a lot of so called starters, or starters to be... Cousins, Manuel, Fitzpatrick and more. I think he'll have a starting job next year. Though it's hard to say where. And the fact he's undrafted and 4th string in a club without a star QB, that's pretty amazing. I took your D in my fantasy teams. About ready to drop them for good. I like Fisher. I reckon he'll take over at, I dunno, Jax if he gets dropped.
