They've ranked several of my players too high, including def Luke Kuechly who is playing the Eagles and if he has a good game my Eagles players don't. Of course there's a good chance that Bradford throws him an INT in the endzone after going 90 yards with the ball, so both make good numbers...

The Eagles are six games in, the team is 3 and 3 and has looked terrible. But during this period, Bradford has been shaking off the cobwebs of years of inactivity. The o-line has had a little time to figure out how this is going to come together. And until a few short moments during the last two games, there hasn't been that weird Chip Kelly speed game offense. It just wasn't showing up. They ran plays quick, but not lightning quick.

My theory is, Kelly is still crazy like a fox. He's going to kick this team into another gear yet.

The Monday Night game. Third quarter. The offense started to find itself; and then they ran a series of plays, where they first misdirected left and ran corner right, then misdirected right and ran corner left. And I'm like - aha. These plays are not designed to gain yardage. These plays are designed to make the other team's defense sprint hard for 20 seconds, then get 20 seconds rest, then sprint hard for another 20 seconds. Do that at the beginning of a drive, in the third quarter when everyone's a little tired. Then get the second and third play off so fast, the defense can't make substitutions. Then run in Sproles and let him crank off a 25 yard gain, because nobody is interested in sprinting after him.

So I think Bradford is going to start cranking out some big numbers. And I think his TE Ertz is the right target to start getting some of these catches.

The Eagles will go 13 and 3 and win the Super Bowl. I will win every week from here on out except for the Eagles' BYE week and I will win the cellar15 League Champion trophy.

Gotta have a dream.

If the offense finds itself Darren Sproles loses all fantasy value, correct?

Big lead for glatt as of last night.

Kaepernick looked terrible. He seems to be getting worse. I'd have benched him at half time last night.

Well, with only Carson Palmer to play I am up by 39 pts. I'm NOT feeling it.
Go P-Zone817, you can do it.

This is Carmen Pizzo (P-Zone) all the way on the left in the last scene, or center at 15sec.

Go to "my team" and click "trading block" that will give you a field to edit your proposed trades, I think.

What are you looking for in return, classic? another QB? Stafford and Smith have a bye week 9. AND Lynch and Tate that week too.

<<--- No idea what he is doing.

I know not of what you speak. What is this?

I thought I'd say I was willing to talk if someone wanted to make an offer.

Oh, it's down to the wire! Me vs. Carmen's Hot Wife (I don't even know who this is...)

I'm down by just 1.3 points, and we both have one player left to play tonight! On CHW's side, a middling but solidly reliable quarterback. On my side... a tight end who might not even see field time.

Some might say my loss is inevitable. But I choose to believe, dammit.
