Beef-RGIII is coming off a concussion IIRC. He’s a rookie, and the 'skins aren’t playoff bound, so no need to risk his future.
OK everyone, tough call this week. Pick 3 RBs.
Adrian Peterson vs. St Louis
Stevan Ridley vs. San Fransisco
Frank Gore vs. New England
DeMarco Murray vs. Pittsburgh
Lots of good RBs with really bad matchups in this critical playoff game.
I’m leaning toward benching Ridley in favor of Murray due to the excellent Niner’s defense at home, but he’s been about as reliable as a guy can be for the last 6 weeks and Murray isn’t exactly going against a slouch in Pittsburgh. That said, Murray seems to be building momentum and the Steelers are really banged up and look to be slipping.
A case could be made to sit Gore too. I also could use Wayne as a flex, but in this league the scoring is REALLY heavy in a RBs favor. A WR basically needs a 100 yard 2 TD game to even come close to being as good as a middling RB (60 yards, 1 TD) and a RB held out of the endzone still can safely get you 10 points while an WR is luck to break 5.
All in all, it’s a pretty safe bet to go RB…the question is which.
Also have a choice between Wayne and Thomas as my single WR start, and currently Thomas is looking like the choice even if Houston’s pass D has been pretty shaky. Open to ideas here.
So let’s say it’s 5 minutes left in the 3rd quarter with 02 seconds on the play clock. Call a time out or take the 5 yard penalty?
Down and distance? Score? Field position? How well have you been moving the ball? How’s your defense holding up?
How about:
C) Conduct your offense in such a way that you’re consistently able to run plays without the play clock expiring.
It’s actually an injury (sprained LCL) to his right knee.
This is the first week I have even been tempted to wqtch split screen, and six or seven of the eight are really interesting. Thanks Game Mix!
I’m over throwback uniforms. Really, the Chicago Bears show up looking like a college team. It is Bears vs Packers, I want a C on the Bears’ helmets and a G on Green Bays’
I love throwback uni day for the Browns. The stripe width changes slightly or something. What’s game mix? Sunday Ticket thing?
Browns defense came to play, as did Trent Richardson.
And the 'Skins are right in the middle of the playoff picture. But hey, etv78, at least you got the part about RGIII being a rookie right.
Yeah, it’s the Sunday Ticket channel that split screens all the games at once.
What a terrible first-half performance by the Giants. I am not enjoying this game.
Cutler is at it again! He sure looks like a rotten QB and a worse human being.
With around 3:40 to go in the half, Eli Manning’s QB rating was reported as 6.3 (!). Now with 1:04 to go they have a drive going and he’s up to 29.2.
Braman blocked punt and scores on recovery!
The refs need to let the Texans and Colts play football. There’s been some really iffy calls today, I’d be pissed if I were a Colts fan.
JJ Watt is hot again, but I’m starting to lose faith in Arian Foster. For weeks now he’s just running into traffic up the middle for 2 yards or so.
Don’t worry. I’m sure his failings are solely the fault of the offensive line, the poor wide receivers, or the offensive coordinator.
Another cheap shot by an Atlanta DB. I’ve seen at least three of those against just Eagles’ WRs in the last two or three seasons. The thuggish assassin-mentality seems to be systemic.
As soon as I posted that, I remembered it was a knee. Stand by the rest of what I said.
They’re hanging by a thread. Unlikely they win out to get in. (which IMO it was they’d need to do)
