Are you ready for some NFL Football? 2014 Edition.

Woohoo, I hope you're right! ;) [SPOILER=P.S. OT]I'm really enjoying this FSU-Notre Dame game as well!  I find myself rooting for ND for some reason.  (Never done that before)[/SPOILER]

I think he'll be better too

Lions didn't miss a FG!

I wish I could say this was unexpected or unbelievable.

Browns will be Browns.

Anybody pick the Rams to win today? If you did, considering how they've been playing, I annoint you as a genius. :beer: BTW that punt return that faked out Seattle was something.

[Mr. Desmond]

Cows shake off hangover from last week's Seattle win to dominate in second half. Curse of Eli is broken. Run ball, keep Eli and the "No Pass Rush" Defense off the field.

That was the coolest thing I have seen in a long time.

None of this is important.  Only one thing matters at this point:

Will Harvin retain ANY fantasy value on the Jets?  I have two fantasy teams, and he somehow ended up on both of them.  How much do I need to worry?!?!?!

I'd worry a bit at least for the next few weeks.  Harvin needs to learn the Jets system, has to develop timing with Geno and Geno has to have enough confidence in Harvin to throw him the ball.  On a positive side the Jet's have an extended work week to get Harvin ready but I'd keep expectations to a minimum until you see how the Jets use him.

Harvin is an elite athlete but no one knows how he feels about going from the Super Bowl champs to a team that likely won't see the playoffs.  He's also a major malcontent so things could digress quickly if he doesn't get the targets he expects.  For those with Decker and Amaro, I think their stock rises and does Ivory's.

Chris Ivory has been a pleasant surprise for me this season in Fanasty. I had Peterson but with his legal issues I needed a RB, Ivory was a FA after week 3 so I picked him up... Accept 2 weeks ago he has been decent and last week against the Pats he did nice... Hoping he continues lol

Everybody seems to be picking up on the Bleacher Report story that Harvin was turning the locker room against Wilson. I would normally not put much credence in the "not black enough" thing but it does seem to come up periodically.

I don't know about this "not black enough" stuff but I do think there's some credence in the "us versus them".  The thought process (not saying it's right) is that players are represented by the NFLPA and should stick together against the evil management.  It has been reported quite often how well Wilson gets along with team ownership and front office so there may be some concerns on the part of the Seahawk players that Wilson isn't as "loyal" to them as he should be.

I also imagine that Wilson's playing style isn't appreciated by the other skills positions because their targets and stats suffer.  Wilson is a good - great QB but he rarely checks down all his receivers and is quick to pull the ball down and run when in doubt.  His QB style is very conservative and he's not one to force a ball into coverage.  This results in less targets, catches, yards and yardage after catch for his receivers.  After 6 games none of the Seattle WR's are on pace to exceed 1000 yards receiving and none of their starters have more than 1 TD.  Wilson is 2nd on the team in rushing (100 yards behind Lynch) and both he and Lynch lead the team with 3 rushing TD's.

If the team was 6-0 you might not hear any complaints but at 3-3 players start to look at "getting their payday" and it's all based on stats and where you rank stats wise at your position.   While as a fan I'd be happy to have Wilson be the QB of the Jets I can see why there may be some dissention in the locker room and animosity towards Wilson given the current stats make it appear he and Lynch are worthy of the big pay check and the rest are at best mediocre.

If you are a grown man playing a professional sport and you even let the "not black enough" thing slip into your conscious decision-making process, you deserve to lose. Ask yourself this - if Russell Wilson grew dreds and wore Lil' Wayne t-shirts in the locker room and ended every sentence with "word is bond," would the Seahawks have a different record? Then ask yourself if the answer to the first question is "no," would you feel better knowing your QB is "black enough?" If you answered yes to either question, you're a moron.

Same questions are asked about RGIII. Continues to show the divide in this country and just how ignorant we remain.

It sounds eerily like what happened with the Eagles between McNabb and TO. TO portrayed McNabb as the company man (he probably was to a degree) and it divided the locker room. The Eagles took too long to address it and the whole season tanked. At least the Seahawks still have a chance to salvage their season.
