I was so annoyed cam newton scored twice in the fourth. Knocked me out of cashing in the big draft kings tourny. Stupid shady mcoy with 8 points as well.
Dude I wish I could get 8 points from my runningbacks... Doug Martin has been a flop, so I've had to throw out Chris Johnson, Andre Williams and Joique Bell as a rotating group every week... I'm 2-8... Calvin Johnson being out really hurt too.
Running backs were such a bust this year. I pretty much drafted one guy really early and then picked up the rest in the late rounds, all of which were busts. iv only done well in my leagues due to trading my good WRs for some decent RBs. Losing your top two picks makes it impossible to really come back unless you drafted insanely well
Mariota and Kaepernick are essentially the same player. They even have the same weakness. They don't get rid of the ball, take a lot of sacks, and fumble the ball.
Its going to be a bloodbath in the NFC coming down to the wire for every division but, most likely, the west. NFC East - Eagles 7-3 NFC North - Lions 7-3 NFC West - Arizona 9-1 NFC South - Saints 4-6 Leavings Cowboys 7-3, Green bay 7-3, San Fran 6-4, Seattle 6-4, to fight for the 2 wildcard spots. I'll give a guess and go with a playoff picture like this NFC East - Cowboys 11-5 NFC South - Saints 7-9 NFC North - Green Bay 12-4 NFC West - Arizona 13-3 Wildcard Philly 10-6 San Fran 10-6 I honestly have no clue who is going to fall out of the playoff picture but if I had to guess i'd go with Lions simply because they never seem to end the season well and there offense isn't clicking and Seattle since their schedule is incredibly tough to end the season. Who does everyone think will win the Divisions and who will miss the playoffs?
I'm torn on 2 games this week in my pick em. KC vs Oakland is KC -7.5 Oakland has been good at playing tough lately, but Kansas City is just playing at a whole different level. Then the Bears are a -5.5 against Tampa at Soldier Field. I dunno, I think Lovie Smith has them playing better football. I'm tied in 3rd place in my pickem league.
I'll just be happy if the Seahawks make it to the playoffs but I'm thinking we're way too banged up and the locker room has to be a mess right now.
Who was the last team to win the superbowl and not make the playoffs? Did Baltimore make the playoffs last year?
Nope they missed the playoffs. I think the Giants didn't either after they beat the Pats the 2nd time.
The NFL is so difficult to maintain success. I think that's what makes the Patriots so impressive. Most teams win the superbowl and then immediately lose a ton of their guys because they go sign huge contracts somewhere else.
I dont know how you can give KC more then a touchdown lead even against Oakland. That offense is just not that high powered that it seems like they are always in a spot to let a team backdoor cover in garbage time. Tampas got some weapons on both sides of the ball but if the bears offense is even remotely clicking it should be at least a touchdown win. Tampas got a bad running game and unless that magically changes I dont see how they can sustain enough drives to keep up with the Bears.
Denver's D for as good as it was in the first half the year has gotten progressively worse. This is not good news for Manning and his attempt get a second ring.
Pretty exciting game on right now. That Beckham catch was just insane. Really can't help but think that if that fumble at the goal line was reversed and it was the giants who challenged the ruling and the Cowboys who had fumbled it the refs would have overturned it and given the ball to the Giants.
