PrintI'm going to start by expressing how I feel regarding the Brewers right now. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! BRAUNY FOR MVP!!! 5 LEFT CARDS UNTIL YOU SEE YOUR PRECIOUS PUJOLS GO BYE BYE!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
That felt wonderful. If you have time to write a comment, or fan post, I highly suggest leading with that.
As mentioned in the review of last weeks games, I'm hoping this evolves into our REAL TIME smack/bragging thread. Feel free to post your hopes, dreams, ambitions, or psyche destroying smack talk here. Or just breaking news. I'll Start:
Albert "I'm Peter King Jr." Breer just tweeted that Santonio Holmes will play this week.
Adam Shefter just broke that Calvin Johnson is expected to start.
Ed Werder just reported that Lance Moore is active.
See how that's done? Anyway, I have wonderful matchups against Jeo, Tepo, and golfallday. So to you I wish you luck, and to your receivers, I wish they all get hand AIDS so they can't catch. BRING IT BOYS!!!

holy crap you have some nice QBs on your bench
I mean, you can’t sit Vick, but Cam Newton and Matt Stafford? 27 and f#%$in’ 29 points this week? I hope you get something nice back for one of those guys.
I honestly think I'm ready to sit or trade Vick.
Newton and Stafford are both very good, and I need a running back.
The Brewers at Miller Park: "ALL WE DO IS WIN, WIN, WIN NO MATTER WHAT"

You'd probably get more for Newton
with his hype and all, and he’s a riskier keep than Vick.

I'm willing to move Vick, Newton, or Stafford.
As it is, my running backs aren’t going to cut it, and one of those guys should be worth something to someone.

I'm ticked because I only saw Llloyd as questionable.
I had time to pull Bryant out in my other league though.

If I’d known Gates wasn’t good to go, I would have started Gronkowski. Yeah, that would make a difference.

What happened? I'm not watching, obviously.
Applying pop culture to Brewers discussions since 2009, earning the nickname of "Our Little Abed".
Nick Collins was going for a tackle
He missed, and his head ended up getting smacked by the thigh/buttock of Jonathan Stewart in the head & his neck was twisted/pushed in a bad looking way. He laid on the ground & ended up having to leave the field strapped to a stretcher for his protection. He did wave on the way out, so that’s a good sign.

Since this is a fantasy football thread
he went down with a bad case of neck.

Wow the Chiefs are getting lit up again
If Charles is out for any length of time it could be a long season for KC
That's an extreme understatement
Outscored 82-10 in two games by teams that weren’t very good last season and losing the best offensive player and defensive player for their team, that may be too much.
Contributor on Brew Crew Ball, Commissioner of Prognostikeggers, Owner of a broken sarcasm detector
As someone who has Stafford in their team
Is it not the case that the Lions should be considerably better this year than last? Haven’t seen any of the game but am guessing that the Chiefs made the Lions look better than they might be?

Yes, the Lions should be better.
Just considering that the Chiefs were in the playoffs last year and the Lions and Bills weren’t, you would expect at least a closer game in either of those two by the Chiefs.

I should thank you Hyatt
The call for Santana Moss was a good one. Look at this, Jordy Nelson isn’t going to score any….
…damn. Looks like Nelson was the correct choice now.
Contributor on Brew Crew Ball, Commissioner of Prognostikeggers, Owner of a broken sarcasm detector
Still no
he only had one catch, and he’s not reliable to be a consistent contributor.

I know, it was mainly some lucky points at the end.

ESPN suggested that the Patriots D/ST would get ripped up this week, so I went to the waiver wire.
I took the Bills, whom they recommended as the best of the free agents. They have -2 points.

Lesson here is
Don’t go by ESPN projections, go with what you think is best especially for Defenses and Kickers where their projections seem more random.
I was going by their commentary, not the projections.
And I really don’t know any better than they do. Maybe if I just installed a dartboard in my house…that would be an improvement over ESPN.

I am a genius for starting Kevin Kolb over Matt Ryan this week. Well, Ryan could prove me wrong later tonight, but Kolb still had an 18 point game. Not bad for my bench QB options.

This comment isn't for my BCB team.
Antonio Gates, 0 points….are you kidding me? THROW IT TO GATES!
Contributor on Brew Crew Ball, Commissioner of Prognostikeggers, Owner of a broken sarcasm detector
Apparently Gates is not in the game.
WHY NOT!? He hasn’t done anything!
Contributor on Brew Crew Ball, Commissioner of Prognostikeggers, Owner of a broken sarcasm detector
Gates has not looked that fit all game
The only time they targeted him it ended up in an interception.
Because of Gates' no-show today
I need some help in this league. Honest opinion, who has the better chance of winning this match:
Me – 17 point lead, only Jeremy Maclin to play
Opponent – Michael Turner and Lance Kendricks (St. Louis TE) to play.
Contributor on Brew Crew Ball, Commissioner of Prognostikeggers, Owner of a broken sarcasm detector
You should be fine.
But for my own sake, in both leagues, I’m hoping Maclin does nothing.
"People ask me what I do in the winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring."- Rogers Hornsby
I think that Kendricks may well have a good game tomorrow night outscoring Maclin
But what other option do you have apart from playing Maclin?
I would still think that you are favourite but Turner could have 100 yards with a TD which probably makes up the 17 points.
No other options, Maclin has to play at this point.
If Maclin can catch one TD, I’ll probably be good for the week.
Contributor on Brew Crew Ball, Commissioner of Prognostikeggers, Owner of a broken sarcasm detector
Hoping for another victory for the underdog this week.
Maclin needs to get less than 18.
"People ask me what I do in the winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring."- Rogers Hornsby
Looks like you're not going to get that...
Maclin has 20 in my one league.
Contributor on Brew Crew Ball, Commissioner of Prognostikeggers, Owner of a broken sarcasm detector
Yeah he just scored another Td.
I’m kinda pissed right now.
"People ask me what I do in the winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring."- Rogers Hornsby
This has nothing to do with either of my fantasy teams
But Cam Newton has been amazing so far this season.
Ageed.
His team is 0-2 though.

Is QB W/L record as meaningless as a pitcher's?
Applying pop culture to Brewers discussions since 2009, earning the nickname of "Our Little Abed".
Exactly the opposite.
A QB’s peripherals are meaningless…only his W/L matters. See Orton, Kyle (circa 2010), and Dilfer, Trent (circa 2000).
At least, that’s my opinion.
Author at Acme Packing Company
Um, the Ravens didn't win because of Trent Dilfer, they won in spite of Trent Dilfer.
It was their defense and running game that allowed them to start a bad-to-decent QB.
http://www.mlbsoup.com
I suppose that was a poor example.
A winning QB with poor peripherals is fairly rare. But there are plenty of guys who put up big yardage and TD numbers and don’t win. One reason is that they turn the ball over too much or can’t handle crunch time (Tony Romo, anyone?)
Author at Acme Packing Company
and then there are guys like Dilfer and Sanchez who are in very good positions
Also, Aikman would be a prime example. He was never a top stat QB, but he had the team to win with.
"That's not a weird stat. Rickie is a run-scorer," Yost said. "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter," Yost told reporters. "See, you guys have no concept. He's a run-scorer. So there's nothing weird about it. That's what he does."
BCB Fantasy Football League 1 Champ
I think that considering the team he has around him
That they are probably a 4/5 win team. But so far, considering some people thought that Newton was not exactly a sure thing to be a good NFL QB, that the first 2 weeks he has been surprisingly very good.
To judge him on his win/loss record this year is probably a little bit pointless. I don’t think too many rookie QB’s who start game 1 having been the #1 pick have led their teams to winning records.
You crushed me on the #1 overall thing
Teams that have a rookie QB and get him at the 1st overall slot tend not to not have very good teams returning. In fact, I can’t find one. going back to the 80s, the only one I could find who led his team to a winning record was Elway, but his was a special situation since the team that drafted him was forced to trade him because he’s an asshole. Other than that, Testeverde, Aikman, George, Bledsoe, Manning, Couch, Vick, Carr, Palmer, Eli, Smith, Jamarcus, Stafford, and Bradford all had losing records.

BCB Fantasy Football League 1 Champ
Fair enough,
I suppose W/L isn’t a good indication of a rookie starting QB’s progression, especially not a #1 overall pick. I will say that I would still much rather have Sam Bradford long-term than Newton, and part of that has to do with Bradford’s 7-9 record last year with me and Hyatt playing WR for him.

Benching Ryan in favor of Sanchez because your worried about the overrated Eagles pass defense at 3 Am while drunk is always a bad idea.

Alright, time to distribute the f*ck yous
Swansons: Good week by EVERYONE! You don’t score 142 points with someone having a bad week.
Kriegers: First, Brandon Lloyd, I’m sorry you pulled an ovary in practice this week. But next time, give me a little more heads up than Friday. Devone Bess, I hope you enjoyed the lineup, becuase it’ll be the last time until a bye week for you to see it. AJ, you’re next man up. Bears D, your leader’s mother died, and you can’t step up beyond a measily two points? You have about as much heart as the cheifs at this point. Step it the fuck up.
Archers: Arian, stop pulling the vag strings and get your ass on the field. I’m not going to tell you again. Vernon Davis, I WASTED a 5th rounder on your ass, and you’ve rewarded me with 5 total points. I fly to SF, and fist your butthole if you do not step it up next week. Last shot asshole.
Now I won all 3 games this week, so I went light on everyone, but you best keep it up.

Just got obliterated this week
Jamaal Charles…out
Marques Colston…out
Rob Gronkowski…on the bench
To top it off i"ve got forte and know, so that involves cheering for the Bears each week.
From now on, I only draft AFC players not coached by Todd Haley.
you don't cheer for your player's teams
you cheer for the players. If the bears win a defensive struggle where Forte gets 2 points, does that do you any good? No. But if they lose in a blowout, and forte gets 100 rec yards and a td, that helps you a ton.
See how this works?

Oh I'm with you
But Forte having a 100+ and a TD makes it a hell of a lot easier for the Bears to win than if he’s only got 40 and a fumble.
Ahmad Bradshaw...you owe me a TD.
Or 50 more yards, divided however you choose.
