    Actually yeah, Contre had a -4.5 according to PFF's "Had a bad day" team. also Bostic was a "dishonorable mention" among linebackers that sucked, but it didnt give his score. Same thing with Stephen Paea with interior defensive d-line

    I don't know why the new playoff system is confusing me, but it is for some reason. So if I understand it correctly, the top 3 teams of each division make the playoffs, then 2 "wild cards" which are the next 2 best teams in the conference regardless of divisions. Then the division winner with the most points in the conference plays the lower wild card team, the other division winner plays the higher wild card team, and the 2-3 seeds in each division play each other. Then the 2nd round is essentially a division finals matchup, then finally a conference finals. Right? So using our current standings, the western conference would look like this (assume same number of games played): http://espn.go.com/nhl/standings Central: 1. Colorado (16) 2. Chicago (12) 3. St. Louis (11) Pacific: 1. San Jose (17) 2. Anaheim (14) 3. Phoenix (12) WC1: Los Angeles (12) WC2: Nashville (11) Pacific matchups: 1. San Jose vs. WC2. Nashville, 2. Anaheim vs. 3. Phoenix Central matchups: 1. Colorado vs. WC1. Los Angeles, 2. Chicago vs. 3. St. Louis 2nd round matchups if higher seed wins all: 1. San Jose vs. 2. Anaheim, 1. Colorado vs. 2. Chicago

    http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000267354/article/sam-bradford-jay-cutler-leave-rams-bears-facing-uncertainty YES WE NEED A GAME MANAGER. Get rid of the million dollar arm that can make throws that most QBs only dream of. We don't need that here.

    I dont know I go back to the fact that the Packers and Giants both had pretty bad defenses the years they won the Super Bowl. It's an offensive league now. If we are legit good on offense and sign a few band aids on D and focus on defense in the draft, we can make due and contend.

    I would have called it dextermorgan personally.

    [expletive] off Hakeem Nicks. Needed 4.2 points from you for a win an you [expletive] gave me 3.8. Also my opponent was decimated with byes but managed to out perform his projections by [expletive] 45 points. But hey at least I scored the 2nd most points in my league this week. [expletive] off Nicks. Way to drop 3 [expletive] passes. [expletive] off Eli. Way to over throw him twice.

    The kid isn't hers? Maybe it is. I thought I remember seeing the mother was a random girl but upon reading further I don't think that's the case.
  10. UMFan83
    I'm guessing DRose was going to make her sign a prenup, otherwise wtf is she doing? I know that kid is not hers, so she wouldn't be getting money there either.
  11. UMFan83
    My team is 5-2 and I lost Julio Jones and Reggie Wayne. Now I'm stuck with freaking Torrey Smith, Mike Williams and that SD WR whose name I cant even think of anymore.
  12. UMFan83
    What would be the disadvantage of simply doing away with head to head and making the standings based on overall points scored? I guess it takes away the week to week-ness of fantasy but who cares? I feel like I'm always on the bad end of the 'lots of points, mediocre record' thing as well. If you want you can even just take the top 4 or 8 teams after 13-14 weeks and do a H2H playoffs if you like randomness and rewarding teams for finishing strong and making solid in season moves to improve their teams.

    Trestman: Based on the history of this injuries doctors said 4 weeks is a reasonable start, and then he will be evaluated week to week
  14. UMFan83
    Trestman on injuries: "They're not done. They WILL be coming back"

    Man, didn't even think about Urlacher. Meatballs might be calling in suggesting Urlacher and Anthony Adams coming back from the dead.
  22. UMFan83
    Next man up! So that's Melton, Collins, Williams, Briggs and Cutler (most likely) all with significant injuries. For reference, Bears injury report heading into the Bears-Seahawks playoff game in 2011:
  23. UMFan83
    I think this is correct, but if Cutler misses the rest of the season with this injury, he would be the only current starting QB in the NFL to have 2 season ending injuries (at least 6 games) in his career. Here is a nearly complete list of season ending QB injuries by current QBs. Alex Smith - Missed last 7 games of 2007 season Carson Palmer - Missed last 12 games of 2008 season Tom Brady - Missed last 15 games of 2008 season Matthew Stafford - Missed last 8 games of 2010 season Tony Romo - Missed last 10 games of 2010 season Matt Schaub - Missed last 6 games of 2011 season Jay Cutler - Missed last 6 games of 2011 season Chad Henne - Missed last 12 games of 2011 season Peyton Manning - Missed entire 2011 season Sam Bradford - Missed final 9 games of 2013 season Jay Cutler - Could potentially miss final 9 games of 2013 season Meanwhile, the GB starting QB has made his start in 324 out of the last 325 weeks (technically 326 but QB sat Rodgers the last week of a season for non-injury related reasons)
  24. UMFan83
    Probably not what you are looking for but I heard a couple of calls on my ride to work today where people were suggesting that there wasn't going to be much of a drop off from Cutler to McCown.
  25. UMFan83
    At this point I think everyone expects this to be a season ender. Anything less would be a shock.
