Urgh! That total alone may sink me this week.

That was truly a beat down. I don't know what the sports radio guys were talking about. Sean Payton has some uplifting talks to deliver for the next week. N.O. has Tampa Bay next week - in Tampa.

Now to see what the Pats and Steelers are bringing to the table.

I think the steelers will dominate the game against an offense that is uncomfortable with any QB, and a defense that couldn't stop Appalachian state.

Go Steel Tahn!

Not to take anything away from Big Ben, but I think he's in for a long season if the Steelers expect him to throw the ball more. The Steelers should stick to what they know best and run the damn ball.

Wow that was blowful.

NO looked like a bottom ranked team. I think the Lions could have put up more than 10 points. What a disappointment.

Ah well at least I have Manning in the Keeper League.

Indy really brought their A-Defense. THey basically shut down all of NO's backs. I hope they keep it up - makes an easier time at my office for me since the Steeler fan is always lurking around my desk once football season starts.

I turned it off in the 3rd quarter and went to bed.

What a show. Peyton is like a precision machine. Addai is all that.

My wife had Addai and Bush going against my Reggie Wayne last night (we are playing each other in my friends & family league). Needless to say, there was much celebration (early by her, late by me). It's fun watching my wife get into it, rooting for her players, etc.

I had the better Reggie this time

Bush was stymied for sure.

That Manning's Mind commercial was cool.

50+ yd catch by Moss. I guess he can still play. :wink:

*Clears throat* :lol:

Willy Parker is good, but he has no size an no "up the middle" ability. We can't rely on him, especially in B. Arryans' screen packages. He has more screens that anything, can't say I am a fan of it, but we're winning so.....

ah Pats well on their way to a 4th Superbowl. Randy Moss...what can you say, now that Brady has real wide recievers on his team Manning is going to have some serious competition in the stats game. I predict over 4000 for Brady, and a 3rd superbowl MVP.

steelcity_ballin · Sun Sep 09, 2007 2:56 pm

Moss, S. Holmes, Roethlisberger, Pitt D all on my fantasy team, can I gloat yet

lex-ington · Sun Sep 09, 2007 3:14 pm

It takes ALOT to upset me . . . . .really . . . . . but when two of your receivers don't show up to play - that really pisses me off!!! :evil:

idchafee · Sun Sep 09, 2007 11:28 pm

My online teams did real well, my offline team was toast by halftime of the 1st games. :evil:

Since you're down by well over 20 points with only Boldin to counter Rudi Johnson and a kicker, probably not.

Moss got outscored.
S. Holmes got outscored.
Roethlisberger got outscored.
Pitt D got outscored.

Please don't gloat over guys that all lost their matchups.

Pete, Big Ben is my backup QB on all (3) of my fantasy teams this year.
I would say he's throwing fine, wouldn't you? :wink:

Romo is my starter in 2 of 3 leagues. He went off bigtime last night! Fun to watch. And then my keeper starter is Brady :-)

I'm liking my QB's right about now...

Randy Moss looked unstoppable yesterday.

Things that sucked last night:
- Brandon Jacobs going down (have him in two leagues!)
- Branch not recording a single MF'ing catch
- Steven Jackson disappearing (have him in two leagues)

Gotta hold off Mattsteg in the Keepers, without any production from my RB's...

Everyone please join me in rooting for Cincinnati. If they win, I win my confidence pool. So yeah, lets all set aside our individual fantasy concerns and root hard for my wallet to be a decent sight fatter tomorrow than it is today. Thank you.

Haha, that's hilarious....Because...I am in the running for MY office pool.
But I need BALTIMORE (and Arizona, with a combined final score close to 35) to win!!1 Go Ravens and Go Cards!!

I took San Fran in the 2nd game, but I can win or lose that game and it don't matter. I NEED the Bengals win so lets all root for them and NOT the Ravens kthxbai

I'm rooting for Carson Palmer to go off, and for Rudi to not play

I obviously don't understand the intentional grounding rule. That play just now with Leinart, he was being wrapped up and on his way down, he just flicks it out over the line and to no one. I mean there wasn't even a eligible receiver in the camera shot. He was between the tackles, so where was the damn flag?

I have only been kinda watching and I have seen several bad calls.

That offensive pass interference call on Todd Heap in the 1st game was criminal

Yeah, I saw that.

Actually I saw nothing and was very confused by their call. WTF.

EDIT: Why are the SF/AZ players fighting so much after plays???
