Baba, stop jinxing us cowboys fans!!!!! JK...as most people know I am a huge Romo supporter even though he makes the worst decisions/mistakes in the most important of situations. This biggest turn around for the cowboys IMO is not even Murray but its that O-line, it might be the best in all of football, when your line can open up holes and protect a top 10 QB consistently look at what can happen it can make Jerry Jones look like a quality GM after all the year of abuse he's taken. If they can play at a high level weeks 12 on I'll start to give him some credit but til then I will be cautious and expect my cowboys of the past to show up sooner or later. Also I like your colts pick, Bengals without AJ green are a different team, he makes Andy Dalton look like an actual decent QB but when he doesn't play he looks like Andy Dalton :).

Rasp, I am with you on the chargers/cheifs game....That HOF retard doesn't know the first thing about clock management but he is 13-2 off bye weeks in his career. Also ja charles is back in the line up and seems to be healthy which hurt them early in the year, their record at 2-3 doesn't look good either but think of 2 of their losses, competitive close games at san fran and at denver. Problem is all the numbers I look at say the chargers are a better team and with good reason, besides just this years numbers KC has lost 6 of their last 7 to the chargers and in reality SD has dominated KC over the years. This is one of those situations where I go off my gut because I think the chargers defensive numbers are over rated IMO. Other than the win against Seattle who have they beaten that is a good team? No one in my opionion. You wanna say a quality loss to zona, I won't argue that but when the rest of your wins are the bills, jets, jags, and raiders I am not super impressed and playing teams like this inflate numbers. On top of all of that this game means so much for KC and a W will be huge help for them because SD then will have a short week to prepare for denver which can help in the division standing for them. I won't outright say KC is gonna win but I'll take them with points because I can see this game being like 27-24 or 30-27 something like that.

Jets are dominating the line of scrimmage and time of possession. They look hungry, and have a better game plan. Belichick looks clueless tonight. They can't stop anything the Jets are doing. Jets are running over them. Without Mayo, Pat's defense looks pitiful.

for your fantasy teams sake I hope he does good for you...

I'd be on the waiver wire lookin for a different option(james jones, etc.) if it was me, but then again my chawk hatred is applied in my fantasy principles. unless marshaw lynch carries the load for em in st Louis I can see em leaving disappointed and another game behind...rams have no pass rush, but containing rdub in the pocket seems to be the way teams are looking to beat him(at least that's the formula dallas used with great success)

....go ahead itarzan, pick up jones now that I mentioned him lmfao

I picked a good week to start Vereen in the ic league, is this the point where stashing him on the bench begins to pay off? especially with montee ball doing absolutely nothing for me.

I certainly hope so. Drafted him in my keeper league and not counting week 1, and last night, he's been shit in PPR which was supposed to be his strong suit for FF. But hey, last night was sweet so I'll enjoy it for now. He outscored my opponents D, which was NE. Love it. To think, if I got home in time I was going to swap him out.

Harvin to the Jets... you dancing in the street over there, deez? Gotta like your 9ers chances even more now that their #1 road block just traded their most dynamic playmaker to an AFC cellar dweller.

Retro, how you feeling right now? Don't get too excited, don't want you having a stroke. :D

he really hardly played as is, but yeah, can't say it doesn't make me smile a little bit....hawks probably knew he was getting sucked back into the injury cycle and washed their hands of a pretty expensive hurt player...rex is betting on harvin saving his job lmfao

everyone talks about him stretching the field, but did he have any long catches this season? he averaged like 5 yds per, so im guessing not.
maybe the hawks (ie seahawks, herman) ditched 'the migraine' because he badmouthed golden boy russell in the locker room for not getting him the damn ball during the loss to the cowboys? the cowboys! of all teams. ottoman cant believe it either.
i dont know, im just speculating here. just seemed like a surprising move. after letting golden tate go in free agency, its a wonder they let another wr, supposedly their best one and a special teams stud also, go for a future draft pick.
whos going to replace him and his 'field-stretching' capabilities? certainly his numbers are pedestrian enough, just more touches for lynch, a few more for the tight ends and fullbacks. that offense always worked best when it relied heavily on the run and spread the passes to whoever was open; sucked for fantasy (except marshawn and maybe russell) but won games in real life. so maybe nothing changes, not really. until the playoffs, when they might lose a close game because they didnt have a harvin to break one dynamic special teams play or one long td on busted coverage.

assuming they make the playoffs,

perfect excuse when shtf and they go 8-8.

in all actuality they gotta get ready to pay up for rdub or a lynch extension, although there is a possibility of lynch retirement after this season...he did contemplate retirement going into this season after all....all that paired with the fact that the hawks haven't hit on a first rounder since 2010 makes me smile a bit more...who knows though maybe they bring in josh Gordon somehow...maybe trade this years first and 3rd and next years seventh(that's how they got harvin btw)...mike Lombardi is a wheeler dealer with an eye for upcoming talent, so I doubt he would take the possibility off the table for a deal like that...seattle already had a bye so that would actually get Gordon on the field a week sooner than if he stayed in Cleveland....all just speculation...I'd be pretty worried if Gordon came to the nfc west on any team but the niners(and that ain't happenin imho)

Deez, Lombardi was fired from Cleveland working as the GM for only 1 year. He is now on the patriots staff as an adviser I believe. It's crazy too he did some good things just in that 1 year too I was shocked they did it, he got them that 1st round pick for t-bust and hired what seems to be a pretty good head coach in Pettine before he left not to mention drafted the 5 million dollar joint man josh gordon.

And the Patriots are still winning...

Just sayin'

Pats won, but did not impress. They almost made the Jets look good, as they marched up and down the field, only to flop in the red zone. The ref actually saved the Pats when he warned the lineman who lined up over center on the long field goal attempt, instead of letting the play go and penalizing them, which is what should have happened. It happened in a game last week and the lineman was penalized. It should have been a 5 yard penalty, which would have made the field goal only 53 yards, easily makeable by the Jet's kicker. The Pats looked lost on defense without their middle linebacker, who calls their defensive plays. They've also lost their best runner, so I no longer consider the Pats a threat to win anything. They made the Jets look good, and that ain't easy.
By the way, I bet the Pats, so I was rooting for them.

Unless he can coach or play QB, it's not going to matter, although Geno had his best game last night. The Jets are a dysfunctional organization, due to the fact that their owner doesn't care. He is the owner of Cablevision (inherited), and he also owns the Knicks.
