NFL 2017-2018

@Groucho Valentine.

I just looked at my league's waiver list and saw Powell was available and projected at 15 this week. This must mean that Forte isn't expected to be available, but does that seem right to you?

 

[dennyjones]

Forte didn't practice this week.   He was listed as questionable, even doubtful.

Yeah, but is Powell really a 15-point back this week? ... It just sounds really high to me.

Yeah, he had a knee thing. He was limited in practice all last week. I didn't expect him to play. But I'm sure you know that by now. It was a pretty pathetic week from the offense, so i hope you didn't pull the trigger on powell. IMO, Ryan Anderson and Sefeian-Jenkins are the only Jets worth keeping on your roster, if they are available.

That really did seem too good to be true, but I went and did it anyway. RB is the revolving door from hell for me this year.

On the bright side, the guy that otherwise would have had that spot (GB's Aaron Jones) generated the same crappy 2 points that Powell did and everything else went right for me. 37 points out of LAR's Robert Woods is the big difference maker. I go into tonight with a 20 point lead, Jarvis Landry and Devin Funchess. The oppo has only Ed Dickson. 

Baring a disaster, the Creek Crushers will be tied at the top of the East Division by tomorrow morning.

Nice. Ha. I think jones got hurt. Or was that their other guy? I don't remember. I had Robert woods in my lineup too. Never would have even picked him up if it wasn't having other guys on bye week.

I got a 60 something pt lead. I think my opponent has McCaffery and Dickson. Think I'm safe...haha. 

[mcanadiens]

Solid double-digits out of everyone else and Prescott bestows a -2 on me last night. 

Should have been an easy week and now I've got to hope that Russell Wilson doesn't go off tonight against Atlanta.

[Groucho Valentine]

Is that guy the Bills threw out there at QB the worst player in NFL history? Its certainly debatable.

Makes me glad I started the Chargers D/ST 

Dak; however, screwed me over, figures.

Wow. That was a -8. Peterman's a rookie and was playing in his second-ever NFL game. Maybe it will get better for him if he gets another chance. Of course, he may not. 

A quick internet search suggests a possible worst-ever quarterback performance may have been Detroit's Ty Detmer against Cleveland of all teams in 2001. He threw seven interceptions that day. ... The all-time record for interceptions thrown in a game is by Jim Hardy with 8. He played for the Chicago Cardinals in a 45-7 loss to the Eagles in 1950. Hardy was actually a pro-bowler one year.

Yeah, Dak screwed alot of folks i imagine. It seems like he's just like a bigger version of Tayrod Taylor without Zeke back there.  I got hosed by the Rams Kicker and D. They'd both been money before yesterday. Only got 1 point combined from both of them. Luckily, everyone else i had in my lineup scored at least 17, (Antonio Brown hello!) so I'm good for the win.

I was trying my best to be optimistic last night. My oppo, the Rak-O-Potamus as he is known, still needed 30 points out of Russell Wilson. ..

... That's exactly what he got. 134-133 L.

OUCH! Sorry man. Guy i was playing had him on his bench for some reason. He's had a few 30+ pt games this season.

If it had been anyone besides Wilson, I wouldn't have been nearly as worried.

Real fast turnaround Thursday against the Chargers. In my 10-team league the next best alternative is Jacoby Brisset or Andy Dalton. Here's hoping a bit of Cowboy pride has been hurt and I get a decent effort.

[dennyjones]

Just to tell you how bad the Lions are...The demolition team had trouble!

Old Silverdome demo fail

I could not be enjoying this Rams-Seahawks matchup any more.

[iacas]

**** the NFL.

Absolute bullshit that has real effects on the post-season.

[billchao]

They're still playing? It felt like winning the Superbowl two weeks ago as a Giants fan, I just assumed the season was over
