Dappa Dan

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.

Tough week this week. Cards, Browns, Hawks

So all the NFL fans in here who bet.... where do you go to make complicated bets?... For example, I wanna find out how much they're paying for both Eagles and Cowgirls to go 12-4 or better?

Yeah I agree. There's players you just tune in to watch, much more than AFL. Shady I think is one. Petersen when he's not busy looking for his switch and smoking dope. And to be honest the reason I'm into the NFL is about 50% Eagles (I traded following Eagles and Philles in the NFL and MLB to my mate if he followed the demons and Aussie cricket team)... and 50% Mike Vick. He's still the most fun NFL player I've watched. I actually prefer Rogers to Manning. Manning is the best, but there's something dull about how he plays. Maybe it's cos I can't read what he's doing as well as someone who grew up with Grid Iron. He's more an intellectual fan favourite.

Kap is like the Ablett of the NFL... in that he can't be tackled.

I gotta tell ya. This Davis kid can play.

It's what got me started on this thread. Unlike AFL with it's appalling admin... The NFL has the entertainment aspect down pat. I love the storylines and even have genuine soft spots for other clubs.

Not for me it wasn't lol.

Gee things are hotting up in NFC East.

Holy crap Cinci.

Oh wow Green Bay. What a finish. And that makes it 3/3 for Dappa Dan.

Wow. Flacco. 5 TDs in the first half. Still plenty fo time left in second quarter too.

GMMM... Good point, however, they USUALLY put on Denver. And as much as they're like the Hawks of the NFL.... a good advertisement for the game... I'm dead set bored of them.

Which makes the rest of the NFC East breathe a big sigh of relief. There's no way they're gonna keep running in 2 TDs a week cos of special teams play.

Oops. Forgot to do my picks for this week before TNF... I'm gonna go the safe options. Patriots, Packers and Broncos.

Davis was all over Foles in that game. Eagles very lucky to be where they are at the moment. The hype is correct in this case. I think if they're gonna get back to steady the ship it basically HAS to be the Pass rushers, Cole, Graham and Curry picking up. I can't see improvement anywhere else.
