Week 4 discussion thread

by GSC Thu Sep 27, 2012 10:50 pm

First topic message reminder :

Week 4 opens with the Browns heading to Baltimore

The Browns have struggled thus far, but are the Ravens vulnerable after a big win over New England?

Also the much awaited return of the regular refs.

by GSC Fri Sep 28, 2012 5:39 am

Weeden really has played well in the 2nd

by GSC Fri Sep 28, 2012 5:43 am

Joe Thomas with a dive

by twelve283 Fri Sep 28, 2012 5:46 am

No chance on that one, gg overall.

by GSC Fri Sep 28, 2012 5:46 am

Weeden played pretty well, no assistance from his receivers tho.

Bed time

by adams_legend Fri Sep 28, 2012 4:46 pm

what was with the commentars, all night they were going on about what elite QB Flacco is, couldn't see it myself

by GSC Fri Sep 28, 2012 7:03 pm

Yeah, that annoyed me. He was getting praised for throwing it away while the Browns D got no credit. Kinda annoying after a while.

Nicks reportedly won't play on SNF

by mikeygnfl Sun Sep 30, 2012 5:53 pm

Fred Jackson starts for the Bills and Spiller also plays. Stafford is active for the Lions.

I really don't like the Falcons Black Throwback Uni's
Should just stick with their normal ones... much better

by BamBam Sun Sep 30, 2012 8:03 pm

On a similar note, is it just me or does the Seattle-St Louis game look really washed out colour wise. Watching it on Redzone, seems really odd compared to the other games

by crazy_dave23 Sun Sep 30, 2012 8:17 pm

I think that of the Falcons field... it seems very shiny as if it was wet.

Nice and happy with the Amendola fake FG TD as I started him in some non 606 leagues.

by Bull Sun Sep 30, 2012 8:47 pm

its going to be a long nigt for my fantasy team the way things stand at the mo

by crazy_dave23 Sun Sep 30, 2012 8:52 pm

by Bull Sun Sep 30, 2012 8:56 pm

i should of started Battle!

by adams_legend Sun Sep 30, 2012 9:00 pm

When are the Jets going to drop Sanchez he is terrible?

by mikeygnfl Sun Sep 30, 2012 9:21 pm

The Jets are getting hammered by the 49ers. The Bills vs Patriots is very interestingly poised.

by mikeygnfl Sun Sep 30, 2012 10:02 pm

A little bit disappointed the 49ers didn't try to score there at the end being so close to the endzone.

by Take it to the house Sun Sep 30, 2012 10:19 pm

What a pass from Ryan and catch from White!

by crazy_dave23 Sun Sep 30, 2012 10:19 pm

really wanted a 99yrd TD there for the Falcons...

by Take it to the house Sun Sep 30, 2012 10:23 pm

Great drive by the Falcons there

by BamBam Sun Sep 30, 2012 10:33 pm

Anyone else having real trouble deciding between the NFL and the Ryder Cup? And I need to study for professional exams!!!

by Take it to the house Sun Sep 30, 2012 10:34 pm

Ryder Cup for me at the moment!

by mikeygnfl Sun Sep 30, 2012 10:35 pm

A good divisional win for the Falcons to go 4-0. They may have just taken a huge step towards winning the NFC South. Matt Ryan has to be one of, if not, the MVPs so far this season.

The Patriots looked back to their best when blowing away the Bills in the 4th quarter. They have a much stronger running game this season. The Texans keep quietly moving along. It will be interesting to see them against a stronger side although they did well against the 49ers in preseason.

Surely now it's Tebow time in New York?

NFL wins easily... it's competing with Golf after all!
What professional exams? I've got some of those next week!

just back after watching the niners, showed off their football philosophy perfectly

Any other Golf and I completely agree, but the Ryder Cup is close to unbeatable for drama!

Just started my ACA, got first 2 exams next Monday! Which are you doing?

by crazy_dave23 Sun Sep 30, 2012 10:48 pm

Actuarial exams, doing my 8th next week

Ah ok, a mate of mine just did a couple of those last week, they are supposed to be ghastly!

by GSC Sun Sep 30, 2012 11:08 pm

This ryder cup is seriously intense

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun Sep 30, 2012 11:13 pm

Brady and the Pats turned it on in the end.

Defence creating turnovers, however gave up major yardage, need to sort out the middle of the field

by GSC Sun Sep 30, 2012 11:51 pm

After however long with no fumbles, Green-Ellis has 2 in 2 games

by GSC Mon Oct 01, 2012 12:38 am

Rodgers gets a poked eye and has to leave for a play.

Harrell proceeds to fumble the snap and Saints recover on the goalline

by BamBam Mon Oct 01, 2012 12:59 am

Need Buccs to win by 3 to pull off my 5 fold .. But I'm already up this week thanks to that amazing Ryder Cup win!

by GB1919 Mon Oct 01, 2012 1:25 am

The season is a fix!

Classic Buffalo, looked good but couldn't maintain it. 4 picks for Fitzpatrick too, he's the definition of an erratic QB!

Oakland got blown out. I was watching Redzone on gamepass and the golf on the TV so I didn't sit through the entirety of the Raiders game but any time I saw us on Redzone we looked terrible. We can't defend a pass, and we were soft on the run. Add in our toothless offence and we stunk up the place. Still, Palmer didn't throw any picks which is something. We need to get something going on offence and the only guy looking like sparking at the moment is Denarius Moore.

by CFCNick Mon Oct 01, 2012 11:23 am

I'm still angry at the game last night. I don't give a damn about the Barden penalty at the end because we were flat as roadkill on that drive and without the dodgy PI call on Asomugha we would have kicked the FG 3-4 yards closer and as those who watched know that would've been enough for the win.

So frustrating.

by GSC Mon Oct 01, 2012 11:39 am

Much like the Giants know how to beat the Giants, the Eagles just know how to beat the Giants.

Now to settle in and watch the Bears top the Cowboys

by mikeygnfl Mon Oct 01, 2012 1:57 pm

The Eagles must be the luckiest team of the season. They should really be 0-4 but somehow they are 3-1.

by GSC Mon Oct 01, 2012 3:19 pm

Think we're where we deserve to be tbh

by Colan (niner) Mon Oct 01, 2012 3:29 pm

I think the eagles will be patchy all season, talented but remind me of detroit, mainly because their quarterback and defensive front are very overrated

by The Mangler US_UK Mon Oct 01, 2012 7:09 pm

Can't believe the Cards were able to pull out the win. I was worried as hell after Peterson recovered the ball and ran it 61 yards to the 3 yard line because I knew our RBs probably wouldn't be able to punch it in -- and they couldn't' and Kolb then threw that terrible interception (no interference called after Fitz was shoved in the back). And then next play the Dolphins bomb it down the field for a TD. I was about ready to turn the game off. Thankfully, Kolb leads them down for a score on 4th down to tie the game (they had two do-or-die 4th down plays). An interception and a field goal later, they finally eeked out a win.

Man, but Tannehill and Hartline were the dynamic duo. 400 something yards passing and 250 something receiving. Thank God no one in my league has Hartline -- he had a monster fantasy day.

by crazy_dave23 Mon Oct 01, 2012 10:17 pm

Nice to see Mikeygnfl getting a shout out from Nat Coombs and Mike Carlson on SNF... desperately wanting a change at Eagles QB to get Nick Foles into his fantasy team...

by GSC Tue Oct 02, 2012 10:35 am

Same old Cowboys. Just cannot handle their own hype

by GSC Tue Oct 02, 2012 10:44 am

also Romo has more turnovers than Vick Whistle

by The Mangler US_UK Tue Oct 02, 2012 6:52 pm

Romo's problems stem from having a terrible offensive line (well, and Bryant avoiding the ball like it's radioactive), which all comes back to Jerry Jones being the GM. The Cowboys teams of the 90s had an awesome line and everything they were able to do stemmed from that. Romo has a patchwork line with a former Dolphin's lineman they picked up off waivers. Former Cowboy great Nate Newton was very critical of their current line saying that 2 of them can't play and the others are lower tier talents at best.

by bluestonevedder Wed Oct 03, 2012 11:32 am

It says a lot about the Packers' reserve quarterback situation when our punter has better throwing stats than Graham Harrell.
