[quote=Buster;730609]Glad I benched Meacham on both teams I own him.

Hartley scored -3 points for me on the team I started him on...scoring punishes missed FGs in that league. :doh:

I would have been better off starting Suisham...even if he didn't play, I'd be 3 points better.[/quote]

I initially drafted Meecham and I offered to trade him for Braylon Edwards. This guy jumped all over the trade and I'm so glad. Thing is he already had Colston, so I don't get why he wanted Meecham so badly. Oh well, it worked out fine for me.

[quote=aceinthehouse;730614]Well..my Surprise picks this week?

[B]Chiefs over S.D.[/B]
Pitt over Atl
Hou over Colts

and of course the Skins over Dallas[/quote]

This would not surprise me. San Diego is missing McNeil, Jackson and Merriman.

You're kidding me right? I mean I'm not really much of an Atlanta fan but no way do the Steelers beat the Falcons minus Big Ben. I just can't see them beating them with a more seasoned Matt Ryan and a healthy Michael Turner.

I won't lie..this was a tough one to make.

But I think Dixon can do a lot with his mobility
They're at home
and the Steelers still play very well on D
The falcons are a turf team playing on grass

Won't be surprised if I'm wrong...but this was a decent upset pick imo...
Had it been at the falcons,then no way do I pick the Steelers here...

I had it as 4.5. Either way, it's amazing how good the oddsmakers are.

See those pics of Favre's ankle and thigh after the Championship game last year? My god looked like he was in a car wreck.

Yeah, saw them during the game last night. Can't blame him one bit for wanting to make sure his ankle was healed up before making a decision.

[quote=EARTHQUAKE2689;730618]Roman Harper is a safety.[/quote]

Okay. So the Saints were forced to have a safety shadow their TE, essentially, taking him (the safety) out of the defensive equation for any other coverages or run support. Instead of 8 in the box they had to play (essentially) 7.5 in the box b/c Harper's first duty was to take VS out of the passing game. Also, I am assuming this put the other receiver's in man coverage also or at least in zone coverages with fewer defenders, and yet, Minn could not exploit this either through its running or passing game.

Not good.

Chargers will beat KC without VJAX and McNeil.. SD is still loaded

We better win the game now, or we will look like lame asses. I say that because if we lose, those Cowboy trolls will be really letting us hear about it all year, unless we beat them in Dallas. We beat you with bacjup linemen!!!!!!!!!! Blah, blah, blah.

Re: NFL regular season thread (week 1)
 

My father in law ( big cowpokes fan ) told me if we don't beat them without Kosier and Columbo, it will be a long season.. Man I hope we beat them tomorrow, oh and he also said Dallas is by far the better team lol.. We shall see in less than 24 hrs! HTTR

Re: NFL regular season thread (week 1)
 

I hope that we crush them, but if we do, Cowboys fans already have built in excuses. Meh. I can't stand 'em and am glad none are in my close or extended family. Arrogant bunch they are. (I haven't met many, but have never met any that weren't, even on their boards the most non arrogant ones still have a tinge of that arrogance. You would think they have won multiple superbowls this decade...

That's Al Davis M.O. Football IQ is second to measureables. Plus they have a 6'7 Guard in Robert Gallery.

And a rookie 6'7" at center.

Re: NFL regular season thread (week 1)
 

Campbell needs to switch up his cadence. The OLB for the Titans has jumped the snapped perfectly two or three times now.

JC with his 2nd fumble of the day..

Re: NFL regular season thread (week 1)
 

Titans are still jumping the snap. Time to call a play on 2 on 2 ready break.

Edit: They just did it again, almost led to an INT.

Now Louis Murphy has dropped a pass. I think we kind of screwed him over sending him to Oakland.

People put way to much emphasis on dream passing corps. "Oh my Gawd, T.O, Ochocinco, Gresham, Shipley! Who ya gun cover!" Then again it is only the first week of the season but still.

Re: NFL regular season thread (week 1)
 

Eli isn't doing to well, then again neither is Matt Moore.

Wow, Cutler with 239 yards passing already. The Martz/Cutler experiment might work out after all.

I don't think that we could've done it without the posse, even with that running game

both throwing a bit too high.. receivers letting the ball go off of their hands a lot too
