  1. Sorry one more rant....has anyone heard of this happening. If the projected MNF scores hold in my league, this will be the scenario for me. -I will lead my league in points scored by 3 points over the 2nd best team. -I will be in 12th place out of 12 teams as the only 0-3 team in the league HOW. IS. THAT. POSSIBLE?!?!?!? Edit: I will post a screenshot of my league standings tomorrow if the scores do hold so you won't all think I'm somehow preparing my inner raging lunatic for the Cubs playoff run with these rants.
  2. Let's lose the next 7 because according to the media if we win another game our WS odds drop dramatically.
  3. 6-1 damnit. Would like that too but I bet we see throwaway lineups in at least 3 of the 7 games now that we aren't playing teams with things to play for
  4. Gonna expand on this even though no one cares: 1) Dolphins are at the 10 yard line in OT and a FG wins it. To me hitting a chip shot FG seems like the play but instead they hand off to Ajayi (who my opponent has), who had done nothing today and scores a TD (+7 points) 2) The Jets drive into Chiefs red zone not once, not twice, not thrice but 4 times in the second half. My opponent has the Chiefs D and I have Folk and Decker. The Jets get into the red zone and it seems very likely I take points away from his D and/or I get points from Folk or Decker. Instead ALL FOUR TIMES they get in the red zone Fitzpatrick throws an INT. FOUR TIMES! He also throws a TAINT in the game. (~+20 points if 3 of those red zone sits is instead jets points) 3) Seahawks score 37 points but Russell Wilson only has 1 TD pass and leaves game in 3rd quarter 4) Cowboys have 3 rushing TDs tonight but not one of them is by Elliott who probably has 90% of their total rushing attempts tonight 5) Wentz and Sproles hook up for 75yard TD, opponent has them both There are so much more. I hope no one reads his I just needed to get it off my chest. I know everyone says this horsefeathers but I'm 100% serious that I have the 2nd most points in my league for the year and I am 0-3. I didn't even realize that was possible but I played the highest scoring team that week all 3 weeks
  5. Goal for me is a 4-3 week. 103-59 just sounds so much cooler than 102-60
  6. Uncharictaristally wild. I'd question whether it was because of erratic use but Chapman has been used probably more than any of the other relievers
  7. I want to face them so bad. If we lose, I don't give a damn who it is to, its gonna suck really bad either way. The Cards are clearly the worst team of the 3 possibilities and they are far worse than us. The only pitcher they have that scares me is a mental midget that they'll have to burn in the WC game. Its as close to a bye week as you can get in the MLB playoffs. Cards, Mets, Giants would be my order of preference. Giants are the only team that would scare me. they are not worse than the current mets but the truth is none of this matters I've started to get re-concerned for the Mets because their offense is really heating up a la last year. The actual talent is rather meh but you've always got to be concerned with the hot team in October. In reality though like you said none of this matters. The Cubs are going to get who they are going to get, and they will be much better than that team.
  8. Last 3 outs of the home regular season schedule. I know we've been waiting for the playoffs all year but this is kind of sad guys :(
  9. Collinsworth: well if you are looking for good news tonight Bears fans, look at Kevin White White has 5 Receptions for 30 yards. Yay
  10. You want to have Heyward bunt whatever. But with 2 strikes? Not a fan of that.
  11. Do you not understand the concept of meaningless games and mapping out bullpen usage? maddon is treating this like spring training. For the most part he knows who is going to pitch every night. Strop will get in 2-3 times more. As will Rondon.
  12. Dammit Grimm you're ruining fun home finale night
  13. People lament about Prescott not falling to the Bears but do you honestly think he would look this decent being coached by the Bears?
  14. Here's hoping Bryant finds a way to get hot this next week.
  15. Ross comes out Willy comes in and immediately Contreras gives up a hit with his poor catching
  16. They will lick their way into like 2-3 wins I see 5 winnable games. Unfortunately 3 of them are the next 3 (v. Detroit, @ Indy, v. Jacksonville ) when the Bears are extremely banged up. But they should win 1 of those. Then in late November they have a 2 game homestand against Tennessee and SF. They should win 1 or both of those. Outside of that I have no idea
  17. This feels like one of those games where sometime in the third they show a graphic with the Cowboys drive chart and it's full of TDs and FGs with 0-1 punts
  18. Yeah and not even going to use the "5 starters out" excuse So much for losing but looking professional or whatever you've been saying.
  19. Come the hell on 2016 He was a legend.
  20. Coghlan in tears talking about Jose Fernandez on the Score pregame show
  21. I have the worst fantasy luck ever. I won't go into my full rant but I had a 90 point lead going into the 3 pm games with 4 guys going (R Wilson, Gurley, Decker and Folk) and opponent with 6 (Winston, Wentz, Sproles, Chiefs D, Sims and Lockett) I left the afternoon games down 33 and Winston still has a game winning drive left. All I had to do was keep it within 15 before SNF (I have Elliot and Kevin white he has Barth) to likely win. 123 point swing makes it an almost guaranteed loss now. I think I'm gonna quit
  22. Wow Les Miles just fired I mean not surprising that it happened just didn't expect it to happen in season
  23. Geez this is terrible https://twitter.com/barstoolsports/status/780082642377060353
