I like them for 10 wins.

They still have to see the Texans, Bronco's twice, Colts, Redskins.. and Chargers twice. If they sneak out a couple of these games, and beast the easier opponents 10 wins is easy enough, which locks them into the wildcard.

Maybe you guys can help with a fantasy question of mine. If not I'll make a thread :P

http://www.nfl.com/fantasyfootball/stor ... rs_fabiano

This says Sit Larry Fritzgerald. He's projected 15.70 points. My team is projected 124 and the other team is projected 117, so perhaps it doesn't matter. But who would I replace Larry with?

I have S. Johnson, but he didn't participate in practice. I have R. Cobb, but they are playing the Ravens, which worries me. However, the Packers have had high scoring games. 28-34 loss vs the 3-2 49ers. 38-20 win against the 1-3 Washington Redskins, 30-34 loss vs the 3-2 Bengals, and a 22-9 win vs the 3-2 lions. They playing the 3-2 Ravens.

Is R. Cobb a logical start over Larry Fitzgerald? I lose 3 projected points. So I guess it doesn't matter with 121-117

Projections really don't mean that much. Actual points scored do.

What's your situation that you can't consider starting both Cobb and Fitz?

Speaking of fantasy football, in my ESPN league, on the heels of losing Julio Jones there too, someone took the opportunity to offer Sproles, Bowe, and Edelman in exchange for McCoy, apparently thinking I would be THAT desperate for receivers now. After a quick laugh I rejected the trade.

I have C. Givens and T. Austin as my other receivers. C. Givens is in play where as T. Austin is benched.

Well it's up to you whether to listen to the article or not, but I find a lot of written fantasy advice like that to be useless. I'd be starting Randall Cobb over any of those other receivers right now though.

why you would start either of those 2 is unfathomable to me

How the hell did the Saints lose....

The freakin jets... always play to their opponent.

I think what Irsay said, well not too bad, is still foolish. You have a SuperBowl ring, go there twice.. Yes you Peytons playoff record is not the greatest. Half the time he had buys where he wasn't getting the easier Wild Card wins... and He was in a titanic battle with Brady.

It's the house that Peyton built. Period. Even with Luck and now Richardson, the colts don't have the pieces... Rwayne is aging out. Fleener is not Clark. I think Luck is hella talented... We'll see obviously in 10 years if they have multiple Rings, or even 1.

-I'm looking forward to this weekends game. Even as a Jet fan, I've always like Peyton and his abilities (probably him because I can't like Brady)

I wouldn't be surprised if the Jets beat the Pats this weekend.

refs ignored a blatant holding by the pats that allowed brady to throw that TD. had the refs called the penalty it would have been game over

Claiming refs ignore something is some chem trails level shit.

What was that one thing about malice, ignorance and being a rabid member of a fanbase :(

I can't wait for the Texans - Chiefs game. I live in Texas, but am a Chiefs fan :P (I didn't cheer when Schaub was hurt though.)
Broncos - Colts is going to be an emotional game.
Vikings - Giants. Hahaha.

If not now, when?

The Giants season is dunzo.. but they're the only poor-record team that doesn't really need a QB.
-If the Giants can finish bottom 5, they have a real shot at landing Clowney. Imagine JPP and Clowney

Other bottom teams:

Bottom Teams that need QBS:
Jaguars
Bucs
Browns
Probably Vikings

Teams that don't need QB:
Falcons
Giants
Panthers
Bills
Jets
Redskins

I think the Giants could do poor enough. (Wish the Jets blew better than they do)

you realize a ref is watching the QB the entire time, he didn't see that hold? :lol:
