The Bengals Defense killed me by allowing Braylon Edwards to look like the second coming of Michael Irvin. The worst defensive effort I think I’ve ever seen. Actually, defensive effort would be an oxymoron for this pathetic unit - since their "effort" was a bad joke.
Kellen Clemens is the real deal. His live arm kept putting the ball in an area where his receivers could make plays. I just don’t think McCareins was used to that velocity and he really had no business on the field. "Hey Justin, you eat with those hands?"
Harrington has been sacked 13 times in the last two games. The Dirty Birds have Lost 9 of their last 11, going back to last season. Pick up defenses that play the Falcons.
Anthony Gonzalez was looking like a baller - catching the ball with his hands at its highest point and then coming right back with a tough slant catch in coverage.
Adalius Thomas - Nobody that big, should be able to move that fast. Wow! As long as he stays healthy and the Pats have an axe to grind, they are the odds on favorites to secure home field advantage in the AFC. Remember, they are doing this sans Seymour and Harrison.
Am I the only one feeling like he goes up against fantasy players that have their career day when they play me? This is getting outright disgusting. Braylon Edwards?!! That second TD catch of his was a joke - there wasn’t even a defender in the camera shot until he was rolling into the endzone.
New Orleans - The good news is you are deep at WR, but the bad news is you can’t rotate guys in and out constantly, because Brees can’t develop any rhythm or chemistry with them. Put Colston and Henderson in and leave them there for now. One of them will be hurt soon enough, then Patten and Copper, et. all will see the field.
More Saints - With :49 seconds to go in the third quarter, the Saints got their first offensive TD OF THE SEASON to fullback Mike Karney. I don't really know what to make of this, except to write that the Saints need a home game in a bad way. McAllister should have been in the goal line package on Karney's TD. Putting in McAllister over Calvin Johnson in my flex position is looking like one of the worst fantasy lineup decisions I've ever made. Deuce, you are about to find your overweight ass on my bench.
Lions - Martz's decision to call a pass play for O'Sullivan on third and eleven, when the Lions were already in field goal range was typical of Martz's throw first, ask questions later. O'Sullivan throws an interception and the Vikings give the ball right back, courtesy of Tavaris Jackson - allowing the Lions to steal a win from the cookie jar in overtime. The Vikings couldn't move the football Martzie! A field goal there would've been huge. Martz needs to see the whole chess board, not just the move he's got his head in at the moment.
Steven Jackson owners are befuddled right now and rightfully so. The fact that he didn't go off for a career day against me this past sunday should be a warning sign, since everyone else has a hall of fame day against me fantasy wise. Braylon freakin' Edwards?!
Jamal Lewis ran like a man with something to prove, while the Bengals D tackled like they had money on the Browns.
Kyle Boller - I said it on the podcast before and I'll write it again here - Boller CAN play. He's not Joe Montanna, Roger Staubach, or Brett Favre, but with a healthy Todd Heap, Demitrius Williams, Mark Clayton and Derrick Mason in the lineup, the weapons are there for solid fantasy production. Put him on your radar.
Derrick Ward averaged six yards per carry against the new, tough look Packers D. It will be hard to show this guy the bench when Brandon Jacobs returns to practice.
Lito Sheppard is out tonight for the Eagles on the MNF tilt versus the Skins - if Santana Moss can't deliver a six catch 100 yards receiving and one TD performance tonight, he might find his non producing ass on my bench. No joke Santana!
Shaun McDonald quitely went out and put up seven receptions for 71 yards. He is the new Bobby Engram in point per reception leagues.
Peyton Manning played exceptionally well against the Titans, but his fantasy numbers aren't warranting a first round, or even second round pick at this stage in the fantasy season. Waiting on a QB for fantasy drafts is still the way to go - i.e. Tony Romo, Big Ben Roethlisberger, or Jon Kitna. The guys in my league that own these QB's, just have that little extra depth afforded to them at RB by patiently waiting on their QB.
Relax LT owners, I play LT in week 3 this Sunday, so he's guaranteed to go off for 37 fantasy points. He always chews me up and spits me out crying like a little girl. How great would've it been to play him last night against the Pats though! I love LT and he's on the mantle, but if he could put together one more piss poor performance, that would be....never happen, he goes off this Sunday and I cry like a little girl.
Steve Smith could be pound for pound, the best player in the NFL. His third TD was just sick. What's it like to own a player who scores 41 fantasy points? I haven't had a player on my roster do it for so long I can't even remember. Take your 41 points and choke on 'em!
Roy Williams is showing why I took him as my first receiver in both high stakes drafts at the WCOFF in Vegas. Running without the helmet! Sweet Roy, super sweet.
Somebody unfroze Joey Galloway just in time for the beat down versus the New Orleans Aints. Yes, the Aints tag applies until they can get some fantasy production from Brees, Bush and McAllister who looks very uninspired on the football field. Did the Aints actually have two extra days to prepare for this woodshed beating?
Favre hasn't looked this good for three years. James Jones is developing nicely at WR and if they could get Koren Robinson reinstated at some point, that would only help. Favre utilized his Tight Ends well also, showing patience in not forcing the ball when his receivers where covered.
Rex Grossman is just not the guy for the job in the windy city. Grossman makes games far too interesting by letting his ego throw passes into tight spaces, when a punt, or sack would be the better part of valor. The Bears need to find an offensive identity, because unless they think Hester can return punts and kickoffs with regularity, then they will struggle against good defenses.
