Well, with the first game of the season kicking off in about a half-hour, I think its time for a NFL thread.
Feel free to post predictions, team/player news, fantasy talk, or anything else NFL related. For tonight, its going to be a good game. The Viks are walking into the game with a chip on their shoulder against the defending Superbowl champs. I'm seeing the Vikings over the Saints. Brees might be a monster, but I think it's going to be hard to stop Harvin, Favre, and Peterson, especially with the loss of Sharper. -------------

Standing by Big Blue, though I don't know why. They'll have another mediocre season, and everyone will get pissed that its not '07 all over again. Meh, as long as they beat dallas, I don't care too much about overall record. It is fun to watch Eli Manning wander around like a confused child after he gets sacked though. ------------- ? |

Yes I am ready to watch the Raiders win a Season opener. If the Radiers can win or keep it close, Ill be happy. If they cant, Its propably a sign of a not so good season. |

I wouldnt predict that. Im not saying the Colts are going to lose but the Texans are going to play them tough. The Texans defense was terrible in the first half last season and they turned it around towards the end to end up with a winning record. With a better defense and possibly the best WR in the game right now, I really expect the Texans to make a very good run at the playoffs this year. Plus the Colts havent had a great pre-season. I still want to say the Colts squeeze a win out but it will be nothing close to a blowout. As for the Raiders...they finally got rid of Jamarcus Russell but I dont think they will be able to hang around the Titans for much of the game. Vince Young will be their started for this season and he has done nothing but win since hes been there. Plus when you have Chris Johnson in the backfield with a great offensive line...thats going to give any team problems and Oakland last year gave up around 2500 rushing yards which ranked 29th in the league. As for my team...the Bears suck...and arent getting any better.  -------------  |

The Colts D is shaky, but with Sanders back and knocking heads, I'm hoping they can keep a handle on Andre and Foster. But I don't see the Texans D stopping Peyton.
The Raiders probably won't win without Bush. And don't knock the Bears just yet. With Martz, Knox is looking good, as well as Aromashodu in the slot. Oh yeah, some guy name Julius Peppers is playing DE too. -------------

Knox is looking good however we still have Cutler as QB. He led the league in INTs last year and I dont see him improving much this year. I said from day one of the Cutler/Orton trade that the Bears got the raw end of that deal. Everyone here said I was crazy and we had a real QB for the first time in a long while. Almost everyone now has turned on him. The offensive line is old and average at best so that isnt going to help the offense. Julius Peppers is a great addition but the defense its still lacking a good safety and they are always injury prone. I see a 500 season at best. ------------- |
Posted By: jerseypaint

I wouldn't toss Cutler to the side just yet. Last year, all his receivers were either rookies or kick returners who moved up the depth chart. It was very easy to see that most of his interceptions came from either tipped passes or bad/missed routes. But now that Knox has a year under his belt, and the rest are under a coach who's very pass oriented, Cutler will shine. But they do still have a very bad offensive line, no argument there. -------------

I'm saying it right now, Jets are going to the Superbowl. The only reason that the Ravens were even in contention in todays game was because of numerous BS calls made by the refs. Braylon Edward's "running into the kicker" penalty was the most ludicrous call of the game. After this game, I see them coming back with more discipline and more intensity. I feel bad for the Pats because its going to be four quarters of solid contact. -------------

Honestly, there is no indication that the Jets won't go to the Superbowl. All they have to do is play smarter (like run more, and keep Revis on No. 1 receivers) and be more disciplined. These are extremely easy adjustments. -------------

Ill give you an indication... That is absolutely terrible. I dont care how good the Ravens defense is...to be a contender you are going to have to be better on offense then that. They got rid of Thomas Jones and Alan Faneca and their run game wasn't to hot last night. Santonio Holmes will come back in week 5 but that isnt going to fix all their problems. ------------- |

Their run game averaged 5.5yds a carry last night, against one of the best run defenses in the league. Their pass game is off, but then again, it looked like Sanchez was so afraid of giving up the ball he checked down to his half back every time. And if you guys weren't aware, the Jets sucked at passing last year too, but we made it to the AFC Championship. With a defense that is better, an improved backfield, and after week 4, more receiving weapons, I'm pretty sure we can go one game further. -------------

5.5 yards per carry is misleading when you only run the ball 21 times for 116 yards/ Now if you were to say they averaged 5.5 per rush and rushed for over 200 yards, I would be impressed. However, 116 is pretty pitiful even if it is against the best rush defense in the league because they still lost the game. They still only had 6 first downs for the entire game and only averaged 2.9 yards per pass. 2.9. That is not going to get you into the superbowl.

Honestly, the way LT was running, he could have had his own 100yd game. LT is far from washed up, all he ever needs is a fullback to create some running space, he's not a power runner. The thing is Schott called plays like a fool and chose to pass on 2nd and 3rd after running the ball effectively on first. I was calling run/pass easily from my friend's couch, so I'm sure the Ravens knew what was coming too and could easily stop the Jet's already poor pass offense. And I won in both my fantasy leagues. In my PPR league Arian Foster got me a whopping 59pts. As for my other league, Jamaal Charles and Jahvid Best did all the work. I'm probably going to win again since on my PPR team I have Foster, Rice, and Mathews in the flex and in the other one I have Aaron Rodgers and Jennings. -------------

Okay, who are these guys and what did they do with the real Chiefs? Not that I mind. This is much better than baseball where I look at the Royals standings on opening day (0-0) and am forced to acknowledge that it will probably be the best win/loss record they will have for the rest of the season. ------------- 
|
Posted By: jerseypaint
Date Posted: 07 October 2010 at 6:19pm
The Chiefs are the real deal. They could have been at the same level last year but Todd Haley doesn't know how to operate an effective offense. But this year they did upgrade with drafting Eric Berry, getting some sweet kick returners, and acquiring Thomas Jones. If Haley would just let Jamaal out the cage, they'd be someone to fear come playoffs. -------------

Oh cool Peyton Hillis was put on the injury list today. That's just lovely. He was racking up the points for me, along with Andre Johnson, who is also hurt. Man, my running game is going to have to rely on Matt Forte and Ryan Matthews if Jahvid Best and Hillis don't get well.
|
Posted By: jerseypaint
Date Posted: 07 October 2010 at 7:43pm
I feel you. Peyton Hillis is one of my most productive backs, and I'm worried about Mathews since he lost so many carries to Tolbert last week. Committee backs are never good for fantasy. Forte though should have a field day against the Panthers. The Bears have a horrible O-line and are using a 2nd string QB. Can you say HB check down? -------------

Fantasy Football is all about emerging yourself into the game and knowing match-ups. Thats how I knew Forte was going to go off. Second string QB + bad line + horrible opposing D = Forte screens all day. On the other RBs: If Mathews isn't 100% don't play him since the coaches have no qualms on using Tolbert. Hillis just had a bad day due to injury, which is going to be even worse if he's still not good for next week against the #1 rush defense. Best is pretty solid though. Once Hill has to deal with a good pass D, he'll use Best more. Whale, if you need any help regarding a line up, just ask away. I'm a football fanatic and the only thing keeping me from a perfect record this season is the overwhelming amount of game-time injuries my players keep facing. Regarding the Chiefs, they disappointed me last week. I expected them to run all over the Colts, but Todd Haley is an idiot and let Jones do most of the carrying. That, and if they did more deep passes with Bowe and bubbles with McCluster, they would have easily outscored the Colts. -------------

I'll probably take you up on that offer. I don't know nearly as much about the NFL as I know about NCAA. Which, BTW, I'm calling that the two teams with the best chance to finish the season is a Boise vs. Oregon National Championship Game. I'll give Nebraska the next highest chance, followed by Ohio State. |
Posted By: jerseypaint

I can't get into NCAA, its too hard for me. There are a thousand and one teams and players to keep track of with too many variable to keep track of. I tried one year to get into it, and ended up just giving up half-way through the season. It kinda hurts me though because when the NFL draft comes around I have to do mountains of research to figure out how well each team did on their choices. -------------

Drop Finley for Heath Miller. Roth is back and he tends to look at Miller more than any of the back ups.
Rodgers I don't think will play, but Best, Hillis, and the rest should be fine. Though I wouldn't play Hillis. Steelers are currently the #1 rush defense. I don't think Mathews is a safe play yet since we'll only know by game day if he's going to be back to being the feature back, but if you have to play him, you have to. -------------

I did the following, tell me what you think:
So, I'm fine at WR, and I'm fine with Matt Forte. What should I do with the other two RB spots? Or should I try and start Lynch in the flex spot and only run Forte and another RB like Matthews? Also, Vince Young is undrafted in my league. Should I pick him up for temp points or do you think Matt Ryan will be a good enough replacement for Aaron Rogers? |
Posted By: jerseypaint
Date Posted: 13 October 2010 at 10:44pm

Moeaki is a pretty solid, he doesn't get many receptions, but he does get good yardage.
If Rodgers is only out for this week, and you need a good amount of points at QB I'd give Young a shot. Jags have horrible pass D, but pretty good run D so the Titans might be looking to spread the field more to open up more opportunities for CJ. And I wouldn't start Lynch yet at all. He's behind two good backs and needs to prove himself first if he's gonna be the teams #1. Forte is always a must start, and Mathews has more breakout plays then Lynch, even as a second string. I would only play Lynch if they end up putting Mathews on the IA list on Sunday. I personally would've kept the Ravens since they are a top passing D and are playing the Pats sans Moss, but they have been sucking fantasy wise due to point allowance. Plus, the Giants should still do well as long as they aren't abused by C.Johnson. Just curious, what top backs are left on the waiver wire? If Torain, Micheal Bush, or even Woodhead or Green-Ellis are on the wire, I'd say snatch them up over Lynch. Hell, if Tolbert is available, even he couldn't hurt since he might start once again. -------------

Posted By: agentwhale007
Date Posted: 14 October 2010 at 12:01am
I've got Matt Ryan, so the question comes down to who you think will get more points: Young or Ryan? As soon as Rodgers is healthy again he is going back into the starting spot. Also, I'm playing against Peyton Manning this week, which is bad news bears all around. I've got my opponent beat on WR and D/SP is a split (He's got Ward and Miles Austin to my Andre and Nicks, and he's starting the Chargers D, I'm starting Giants). TE is kind of iffy. I know Forte is going to rock. My problem areas are the TE matchup, my Cooley or Moeaki vs. his Jason Witten, my weakened QB situation with Rogers out, and of course what in the world I'm going to do with Best and Matthews.
The Ravens have been killing me in Fantasy points, and I've got the Titans D as a backup throughout the season.
I really don't see Megatron starting, or even getting much play time. Do you?
The only one you listed that is open is Woodhead, and he is projected at one point this week. I actually drafted Michael Bush, and dropped him in week two to pick up Ryan Matthews. Go figure.

This week, I think Young would produce more. He has a worse defense and more play makers. That, and it seems like the Falcons prefer to put the game on Turner's shoulder rather then let Ryan move the ball down field.
For TE I say stick with Moeaki. Houston has horrible pass D. Cooley is always nice since he's McNabb's #2 guy, but they've had issues with moving the ball effectively and spreading the field as of late. I don't see Johnson playing right now, but I don't see him on the IA list either. If Detroit wants to win, they might put him in sparingly for some big plays, and that chance will grow greater if he starts practicing more. I guess I'd stand pat with Lynch then, since Woodhead might not be that impactful against the Ravens, but if he scores again, I would pick him up. He's taking Faulk's role, which means he'll see alot of redzone carries. -------------

Good move. And also if Megatron is out, I'd look to put in the Giants DST. The Lions would be down a huge play maker and Hill's favorite TD receiver while the Titans are going to be staring down MJD and a Jag's passing game that is steadily improving each week. Titans have great D, but I don't see the matchup being better than NYGs as long as Johnson is warming the bench. In other news, I'm screwed in my match up. I'm facing a guy with seemingly no weak points in his line-up, while I have some trouble with my receivers. -------------

Nah, I killed it this week! His WRs crapped the bed, meanwhile Jennings (Who I played flex) and Andre Johnson dropped 19 each. I benched Calvin Johnson because he had that shoulder problem and plays for the Lions, but then he get 20 points. Good thing I didn't need him. And Nicks got exactly 0 points. Not good. But hey, the combo of Forte, AJohnson and Jennings, plus the Giants D gave me enough to win. As long as Vince Young doesn't fumble enough to get -10 points tonight, I win. |
Posted By: jerseypaint
Date Posted: 18 October 2010 at 6:13pm
Well I saw that you played Mathews and Best, and they did zip, but you played Forte and he did very well. But you really have an amazing receiving corps. I don't know how you managed to get both Johnson's, Nicks, and Jennings, but that's amazing. If I were you, I'd start shopping Nicks since he's gonna start being double covered a lot more, while Jennings is gonna do work with Finley out of the picture. -------------

Posted By: agentwhale007
Date Posted: 18 October 2010 at 7:57pm

I ended up with both Johnsons and Jennings because EVERYONE in the league went for RBs and QBs first. It was only by luck I was able to grab Rodgers too. Nicks was a bit of a surprise, so I don't count him. I'm also looking to shop him out for some help in the RB department. Yeah, I benched Best but kept Matthews in. I'm considering including Matthews in with a trade with Nicks for someone. |
Posted By: jerseypaint
Date Posted: 18 October 2010 at 11:36pm
The fact that you ended up with 3 first round picks and 3 second-third rounds is still pretty insane. And if you are going to trade Mathews with Nicks, make sure you get a clear #1 running back. Those are two explosive players, with the latter having a very good year, and the former about to start getting back to his starting position. Also check for byes, I think Best is on a bye this week, so don't make a mistake by trading for a back that's also sittin out. -------------

Posted By: jerseypaint
Date Posted: 20 October 2010 at 5:55pm
I'd say pick up Lynch now that he has the starter role in the Seahawks or Woodhead. The only thing is that Lynch's play making ability is pretty low, while Woodhead is doing work with his limited touches so he might be getting more down the road. Regarding to H2H, I think its pretty silly. I can understand if the H2H is as blatant as the hit on Heap, but everything else is just bad luck. First thing a players learns in tackling is to put your face mask in his numbers, and the first thing a players learns when running with the ball is to lower your shoulders. With that, its almost impossible for helmets not to have contact. Add in players jumping, sprinting, and juking and its just way too hard to prevent. If players start thinking about tackling more safely, instead of just making the tackle, there are going to be a lot more missed/broken tackles. -------------

I've got a 16-point lead, and Nicks left to play. My opponent has just Romo left. Gulp. |

Ridiculous game. Defense getting it done...and special teams. -------------

Colt McCoy is doing solid for being a rookie. |

Honestly, if the Browns weren't in the AFC North, they'd be in the playoffs. They just have an incredibly hard/talented division. -------------

They do great in the first quarter, good in the second and third... Then lose in the fourth.
Realistically, they could be 6-1. -------------

I never really saw them beating KC or Baltimore, those are too great Ds, and the Browns are too one dimensional on offense; they can only run the ball, their pass game is pretty weak. But I saw them beating Tampa and Cincy. -------------

Yes he is. Newman's doing great on coverage, but Nicks straight up abusing everyone else. Newman's out, I predict a Nicks field day. -------------

This week's lineup. I made some changes, picked up a new RB and TE to get through the byes. I think I'll do OK. It's nice to have Megatron back.  |

My Lineup, everyone feel free to pitch in ideas, though for the third week in a row I'm pretty handcuffed by bye-weeks. EDIT: League is PPR, and has 16 teams(reason for such a large/thin roster). Return yards are 1pt per 25yds. Sacks/INTs are 4pts each. Sorry for the large image, otherwise it was too small to read.  ------------- Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo |

Too small. Cannot see. Squinting powers are failing. *EDIT* Never mind. I'm good now. Thanks. |

God your league is rough. Dez Bryant is a starter from here on, I think. |

I sure hope so. Aromashadu has turned out to be a real bust... And Nanee's production is way below where I expected it, and now Jackson is coming back. Those factors combined with Doucet being hurt most of this year have led to a 4-3 record. Fortunately, I'm tied for first in my division, so a playoff spot is still in the mix. Payoff is $750+ for first place though. ------------- Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo |

I feel you on Aromashadu. I had him when the season started, but when they benched after game one due to poor blocking, I let him go. You're pretty weak in WRs, but not so bad in RBs. Howling is nice for returns but I say drop Mike Bell for Blount if possible. Hillis showed that injury doesn't stop him from playing, and he doesn't look like he's going to give up many carries going forward. Just a question though, how is Asomugha doing? Last year he had, I think, 4 balls thrown to his side, so I'm curious to see how many points he can rack up. -------------

Asomugha is nonexistant in fantasy. But I picked him up off waivers a couple weeks into the season as a just in case, because I'm a Raiders fan. ------------- Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo |

Its a bad season to be a QB opposite the Giants. ------------- ? |

Yeah, but defenses have turnover field days. And anyone playing fantasy, look for two RBs to make some solid numbers this week and jump onto the radar; Beanie Wells and LeGarrette Blount. -------------

Blount had 120 yards and 2 TDs. I should have picked him up instead of Beanie Wells since now I need 27 points to win with Foster left to play. Wells had a nice 21pts, but Blount had 38pts. -------------

So I finished today tied. Both my and my opponent have one player left for Monday. I have Andre Johnson. He has Reggie Wayne.

That is going to be tough. While Wayne isn't as consistent as Andre, the Texans pass D is just awful. Also, if Foster has another field day against the piss poor Colts Run D, you can expect Johnson to see fewer catches as well as redzone targets. And apparently I'm only down by 17 now, since Janikowski managed to outscore 2 of my WRs, my TE, and my QB with a whopping 15pts. -------------

And I pick up the third win in a row, and move into third place in the league. Hot damn. Witten was a huge pickup, seeing as Dallas refuses to run (Learned that with Felix) and with Romo gone, Kitna is using the TE as a huge safety blanket. Next week I play No.1 in the league, but I'll have Forte and Hillis off the Bye, Megatron and Andre are on an upswing. Who'd have thought Aaron Rodgers would be my weak spot?

Well my Tamme pick up should work pretty nice as trade bait, and I'm hoping to score Blount off the wire so I can trade him too.
Jets played horrible this Sunday though. Too many dropped passes, and those "interceptions" didn't help too much either. -------------

I need some help, jerseypaint. I've been proposed a trade: Hakeem Nicks for LDT. Nicks is averaging 13.9 per week, the second-highest among my receivers, but I also have Andre, Megatron and Jennings, two of which have already had their bye out of the way. LDT is averaging 13.3 points per week. He'd give me an honest-to-God good RB. Yeah, Hillis and Forte have high averages but it's because they go nuts one week and don't break seven the other. Thoughts? |
