  1. I'd go Douglas there as the WAS defense is just terrible. I've got a similar one for RB2: Pierre Thomas @ STL Joique Bell vs. BAL Ridley @ Miami Thomas vs. NE
  2. Actually, that should happen starting next week. No. Alshon is a main cog in my #1 seed machine.
  3. I locked up the #1 seed today after 3 straight weeks of ridiculous performances by waiver wire QBs. I have a bad feeling that strategy is going to burn me next week.
  4. Holy crap it's snowing in Philly!
  5. I'm not sure if the rule that was stated at the beginning of the year that said you can't keep either of your first 2 picks will actually be in effect. Outside of that, yeah, it's a no brainer.
  6. I'm now rooting for OSU and FSU just so the SEC gets shut out. And I hate myself a little for feeling that way because it's OSU. Gross.
  7. This isn't a sit/start question, but here's the deal. I'm in a league where we can keep 2 guys at the end of the year. I'm probably keeping Alshon and I'm leaning toward keeping Jamaal Charles (which I think I can do, I have to double check the rules because he was my 1st rounder). Would it be worthwhile to grab Doug Martin off the waiver wire and stash him as a keeper (giving up a 7th rounder next year) or should I just stick with Charles since I'll likely have a last 1/3 of the draft pick in a 12 team league?
  8. Then you're not understanding the reason most guys give a discount. They want their millions sooner rather than later. Shark already has millions and doesn't need to give a discount to get the money early since he already has it. Plus, you figure in the age factor and he's probably only getting one shot at a big money deal. I have no problem with his strategy and I'd likely do the same thing. If the NTC really is the hold up, I'm not sure how to feel about that. I'd probably agree to a list of 6-8 teams, but definitely not a full NTC.
  9. Wow, that's really bad. They wouldn't show a replay on TV of that pivot foot as he made the move, but I thought it was a travel live. Between the travel and the shoulder drop into Egwu's chest (much less egregious), there's no way that should've counted. And that really was some brutally bad Weber-ball down the stretch.
  10. Considering it's a FA signing and you can't trade those signings until June of the following season, I highly doubt that would be an option.
  11. That's probably just because they assume the Cowboys will run for 300 yards instead of pass for 300 yards.
  12. I think it's been much more noticeable this year, especially when the guy who's best at it, Peanut, has been hurt for much of the year. I did think they sacrificed some yardage on at least a few plays trying to strip the ball, but I generally agree with you that they're just terrible at tackling and, even more importantly, at being in the right spot to tackle a guy.
  13. I'm not sure why they would. It should be a no-brainer sign for the elite postings. The player has little leverage and you can still probably get him for a fraction of his open-market value. Right, but consider the scruples of teams like the Marlins and WS and I think it's probably a good clause to have in there. You also risk pissing off the NPB teams if there isn't a deal reached and they don't get their money. I think it's a good CYA move.
  14. Hopefully there will be language in there that if the team with the worst record can't come to an agreement, the next team gets a shot so that the crappy record teams can't just block deals by max bidding.
  15. Yeah, you'll have to draft a speedy WR, but I agree that it's not necessary, especially early. The Bears have been just fine without a blazer. You're talking about the 5th option in the passing game. At least at TE, you could get a guy that could block at times and create more matchup problems vs. a base defense. Obviously if a speedy WR falls into your laps early, you take him, but I don't see that as a priority. Oh and DeAnthony Thomas is not very good. I'll scream if the Bears take him in the 2nd. He's a 3rd day pick to me, though I will admit I've seen plenty of places having him as a top 60 pick. Sproles and Vereen are significantly bigger than Thomas though. And you'd be getting him touches at the expense of Forte, not in addition to him in that role. Yeah, that's exactly why that's not a good fit for the Bears. They already have a guy who is capable of being out there all 3 downs and the Saints and Pats don't have that, which is why those guys become valuable. That's just not a commodity they need to waste a pick to acquire right now.
  16. This is exactly what I'd like to see them do.
  17. That's shady as hell. I'd bitch about that endlessly.
  18. That's quite an exaggeration. The Bears also had a lot of things go their way also. It was just an amazing collection of errors and [expletive] ups by both teams. Terrible refs helped the Vikings in a huge way This. If that was a Bostic taunt, then that was a late hit on Allen. Terrible. I honestly think the most costly error by the refs was the Alshon catch being ruled both short of the first down and inbounds at the end of the first half. It was one or the other but not both and probably cost the Bears a field goal attempt, which based on the way the game ended, would have been pretty huge.
  19. He was in bounds (the whole 1 knee equals 2 feet thing) but that bobble late should get it overturned. However, it's the Bears, so I'm not counting on it.
  20. Man, if that receiver can do his only job of catching the ball, that's a Vikings TD.
  21. That was an absolutely amazing catch. I thought the ejection was kind of bush league.
  22. 2nd half adjustment Billick? Yes, they've made huge changes in running AP 2 of every 3 plays. Moron.
  23. I know nobody cares, but Alshon was the best pick in my entire fantasy draft. He's so awesome.
  24. They got hosed on that. It should have been a first down and running clock or 3rd and 1 and out of bounds. Such BS.
  25. Nice whiff by Steltz and then the bad tackling by the LB. Pathetic.
