First topic message reminder :

GSC wrote:Eagles traded Dion Lewis to Cleveland for Emmanuel Acho. Decent backup Lewis, just not as good as Brown.

Basically depth for depth, though I did think we were fine at RB with Richardson, Hardesty and Ogbonnaya but Acho wouldn't have fit the new 3-4 scheme so can't really complain about the deal too much and maybe one of those back ups gets sent off in a trade somewhere during the draft.

Amendola's not injured now

by GSC Sun Sep 08, 2013 9:08 pm

Give it time

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun Sep 08, 2013 9:14 pm

Yeah we're losing this game

by Breadvan Sun Sep 08, 2013 9:16 pm

Oh how I've missed thee red zone. QB for raiders looks a handful...

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun Sep 08, 2013 9:16 pm

The Jags yet to advance the ball past their own 39

by crazy_dave23 Sun Sep 08, 2013 9:19 pm

Pryor may be doing great things but he is taking a battering on these runs and last second throws

by mikeygnfl Sun Sep 08, 2013 9:22 pm

I'm stuck out with hardly any internet connection :-(

Just about keeping upto date. AJ Green good, Peterson good, Pantherss D/ Luke Kuechley good...

Anyone spotted Mike Wallace?

by Lowlandbrit Sun Sep 08, 2013 9:35 pm

Peterson's been running backwards since the first play, still has 3 TDs. Lions look an awful lot like the Lions; with a little more luck and a lot more discipline they could be a decent team.

by crazy_dave23 Sun Sep 08, 2013 9:37 pm

Blaine Gabbert sucks so bad... I feel slightly ashamed that this is the "Union Jax"

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun Sep 08, 2013 9:42 pm

Tom Brady must be seriously p1ssed at his WR's and TE's today. Dropping things here there and everywhere. Even running into each other

by crazy_dave23 Sun Sep 08, 2013 9:48 pm

Kudos the Titans... they have effectively shut out Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh seeing as there only points conceded were by a dum safety on the opening kickoff return.

And Ponder keeps sucking...

by Take it to the house Sun Sep 08, 2013 9:49 pm

Ponder has improved as the game went on, then Fusco goes and trips him and AP fumbles! Doh

Cant blame Ponder for that fumble imo.

Harrison Smith is a brilliant safety, great tackler!

by Take it to the house Sun Sep 08, 2013 9:54 pm

Two absolutely crap penalty calls on two 3rd downs keeps Lions drive going

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun Sep 08, 2013 10:02 pm

Oh man Amendola is good, please stay fit

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun Sep 08, 2013 10:07 pm

Oh wow what a catch Amendola

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun Sep 08, 2013 10:11 pm

NFL: AroundTheLeague ‏@NFL_ATL
From Mike Tomlin: Pouncey injured his ACL + MCL, will need surgery. LB Larry Foote ruptured his biceps. Costly loss for Steelers.

Pouncey injury is huge for them. What an awful start to their season

by crazy_dave23 Sun Sep 08, 2013 10:12 pm

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun Sep 08, 2013 10:16 pm

Phew.

Danny Amendola take a bow. Some crazy catches on 3rd down throughout the game. Now go get back into your bubble wrap

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun Sep 08, 2013 10:23 pm

Oh lord Tampa Bay

They must have borrowed Man City fans seat outfits

They actually sold the game out... I presume this is late on once they had sucked up the place!

by GSC Sun Sep 08, 2013 10:43 pm

Interesting first week to say the least

Pats had major issues against a Bills secondary down 2 players.

Bucs offense anemic

Lions look electric when they don't stop themselves

Statement stop from the Saints in the superdome

BEARS WIN!

by Take it to the house Sun Sep 08, 2013 11:01 pm

Vikings-Lions takeaways
Ponder very inconsistent, had some good deep throws for once but 3 INTs says it all really.

Peterson couldn't really get going apart from the brilliant 74 yard TD, Lions D did a good job on him.

Detroit offense is even more scary with Reggie Bush who ran/caught brilliantly.

Minnesota D was a bit rubbish, generated little pass rush and dealt with Bush poorly.
Were also a bit unlucky on 2 3rd down penalties that ended up allowing Detroit to seal the game(although I'm obviously biased about that!).

Lions had some boneheaded moments that negated even more TDs(SUH!).

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun Sep 08, 2013 11:24 pm

Would love to know why Mike McCarthy declined the penalty and allowed the 49ers another shot at 3rd down

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun Sep 08, 2013 11:41 pm

Oh, look, Jermichael Finley dropped a pass...

by mikeygnfl Mon Sep 09, 2013 1:00 am

Damn Fantasy Football. I need Kaepernick to score points for me in the West but not against me in the keeper league furious

Glad I took a gamble on Jared Cook in a few leagues.

by mikeygnfl Mon Sep 09, 2013 1:05 am

Just going over the scores now I'm home.

The Patriots used their 'get out of jail card' a bit early this season. EJ Manuel seems to have fitted in ok though. The Dolphins got a win against the Browns (not helped by Weeden) but where were Miller and Wallace? The Dolphins need to improved. The AFC North went 0-4. Bengals will be disappointed to lose. Don't know what was up with the Steelers?

by BamBam Mon Sep 09, 2013 1:53 am

Colin freaking Kaepernick just made old man Boldin look like prime Marvin Harrison

by mikeygnfl Mon Sep 09, 2013 2:22 am

Great win for the 49ers. Kaepernick looked good passing and is finding Vernon Davis.

Can't wait to see them play at Wembley next month...

by sodhat Mon Sep 09, 2013 10:17 am

Losing 21-17 almost feels like a victory. I suppose that's how you can tell you're a Raiders fan.

Still, TP had a decent game and if he cuts out the bad throws then he can be a good QB for us. He can at least move us downfield which is something you'd doubt Flynn would be able to do with this running game and our receivers.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Sep 09, 2013 12:01 pm

I don't think any of my three fantasy teams managed to break 30 pts yesterday.

Awful start

by sodhat Mon Sep 09, 2013 12:09 pm

My starters contained:

James Jones - 0 catches, 0 yards
Chris Ivory - 15 yards, 0 TDs
David Wilson - 2 fumbles, minus points
Ravens D - 3 points, after being lit up

If it wasn't for Brees, Witten and Legatron I'd probably be in single digits.

Spoiler:

by Colan (niner) Mon Sep 09, 2013 6:57 pm

brilliant win for 49ers and we didn't even play all that well. Eric Reid looked incredible for the most part and looks like one of the biggest hitters around. I'll admit I wasn't keen on the pick straight away but based on last night we got a good one with none of the major coverage limitations touted. We got a steal in Boldin too, looked quicker than I've seen him and already clearly a leader on the field, Ravens will regret it

by Colan (niner) Mon Sep 09, 2013 7:02 pm

And I don't have to say anything about Kap, most talented QB in league and its not close

by The Mangler US_UK Mon Sep 09, 2013 7:24 pm

Welcome back Larry Fitzgerald! 2 TDs already (only 4 all of last season). Looks like those Missing posters I taped up to light poles around the city worked out. Finally has a real NFL caliber QB spinning the rock down the field to him.

Glad I took a chance on him for my fantasy team.

Now we just need the Cards defense to learn how to tackle - though the Honey Badger looks like the real deal. Great effort play catching that receiver and knocking the ball loose at the goal line.

by Number-25 Mon Sep 09, 2013 7:28 pm

Ravens were in cap hell though. I'm sure they would have rather kept Boldin but the terrible cap situation meant they had to make some tough choices. His numbers just didn't add up for them.

Well the defenders they got with Boldin's money didn't look like a good deal Thursday haha

In fairness, they were up against the best QB in the league....

But Tom Brady played the Bills... Whistle

by BamBam Mon Sep 09, 2013 11:17 pm

And Rodgers played the 49ers...

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Sep 09, 2013 11:33 pm

In Pats news Vereen had a broken bone in his hand on Sunday, so had surgery today, will be out a couple weeks which is a blow, but a lifeline for Ridley on Thursday.

Also Sudfeld tweaked a hamstring and is doubtful for Thursday.

We'll end up with Wilfork at WR at this rate

by BamBam Tue Sep 10, 2013 12:11 am

Wonder if Gronk will be pushed back a week early?
