There will now be many many ways to beat the Eagles. Pardon me for thinking the defense had some good players who could make a play. Nobody Really showed up today for Philly.
Lions were just teasing the Vikes. it has been a long time since Detroit won in Minnesota. But it was a slaughter. Of course the refs favored the Vikes in every single call, like they always do.
Amen to that, from a Saints fan. In the first half, and especially in the first quarter, the Texans looked like world beaters. Saints offense did nothing, and the defense was horrible. If Houston could find the endzone instead of kicking 4 field goals, this one was over before halftime. Saints came roaring back in the second half, but the game was a shootout. Four lead changes. Saints win 40-33. Big day for Brees and Graham, plus I finally get decent fantasy production out of Ingram.
Monster day for Welker. 56 fantasy points today in my league. Best draft pick I made, no doubt about it. He’s going to be my team’s MVP this year.
Broken hand for Vick. Karma. I gave my dogs extra pats when I read about it. Really hate that guy.
Vikings choke again. I sure somewhere on the internet, perhaps on a board named after a long-necked mammal, someone is explaining how it is clearly the ref’s fault.
A lot of streaks broken today. Buffalo beats New England after something like 13 losses in a row (I picked them in the Dope pick em game and changed my mind at 4am this morning - the lesson as always, don’t do fantasy sports while sleepy). Lions won in Minnesota for the first time in how long? And the evil Giants stole one from the Good Guys to break their six game losing streak. Vick broke his hand, so he now has a streak of two game-ending injuries* suffered while in the pocket* in his last two games.
I wonder how an offhand injury affects a QB? It may affect Vick more than normal because he’s a runner. For as good as Kafka looked, he’s not the answer. He won’t play next week I’m sure.
My two favorite AFC teams warmed me up nicely. The Browns win a thriller and Buffalo – let’s just say you don’t mess with a Harvard man in the midst of a contract negotiation. Wow. MsNito almost fainted.
I couldn’t bear to watch the Lions-Vikings game. But I never get sick of seeing the Vikings collapse, and this board is poorer for the lack of insight on that game…
Now for the main act. I’m just glad Finley and Grant are back. The Packers really needed more weapons on offense.
