On the ESPN ticker. I can't find any links to the story. Hope I didn't pass on false info...

I hope so. Called it a couple weeks ago...

I could care less...

Just saw Jordy Nelson; torn ACL "out for season".

It's a turd honking for "right of way"!

It's a smokescreen to keep us off the true problem. The two guys protecting Cutlers blind side are the worst on the OL. It's probably the reason Clutts was traded, as it would be more suitable to have an extra TE in to block on pasing downs than a FB. We have 6 million in cap space remaining. I'm going on record as wanting Emery to do whatever it takes if necessary. If the left side holds up and our OL as a whole plays average, this is a championship caliber team.

Nice. I assume it's a 10 team league...

Ooo, ooo! Don't forget the phrasing!

I've got a distinct feeling this could be a trap game for the team.(If we underestimate) There is a lot of buzz, locally, about the Colts. Being opening day at home though, we should take care of business by 10+. I don't look for us to put up a ton of points, as we will probably grind on their undersized defense in an attemp to hide some things from the Packers. Bart Scott aint got shit on me this year, I, REALLY, "can't wait"!!

Drafting good running backs used to be money in the bank. Over the last several years, backs have declined to produce like they used to. They used to be somewhat slot predictable up to 15 deep. Now we have 3 that can be counted on to produce according to their draft status. That's why, picking at 7, abandoned RB for higher producing WR's and TE.(just look at the gap between Megatron and #2. Also look at the numbers Gronk and Graham put vs their peers and even WR's) We'll see how it goes, because going heavy on RB has not paid off in awhile for me. Still, to win a championship, I will need a lucky FA pickup at RB to solidify my production. (or for Cutler to have a great year)

I like the thought of using extra DE'S. It has paid dividends to the Giants more than a few times. In a passing league, pressure is more valuable than ever. Also, I think Peppers would be devastating on the inside in those situations. I've also often thought flashing the 3-4 would be nice utilization of SMC as a wildcard LB. My thoughts are, with the premium on protection, the more ways to test that would be progressive.

Trib too.

I'd call Chris Harris before that...

Sorry, I don't have specific plays documented. However, I did look at every play, as I stated previously, frame by frame. We've discussed strengths and weaknesses at great length. At this point, I dont know what else to say, other than what I already have. SIDE NOTE: See my comments on the TO post again and you'll find my reasons for him not making it were talent related.

Dude, get real.(A spreadsheet, really?) You could have a spreadsheet, flowchart and a powerpoint presentation and you still would be wrong in my opinion. If you went through the entire PDCA process, it's still subject to interpretation. If you grade OL like you grade T.O., the short bus to bias-ville is honking. Of course, that's simply my opinion...

Remember, I can play all 3 at once. I think RB is a dead position, unless you can get one of the top guys. There were only 3 this year. There are usually 8. I'm hoping for luck on the waiver wire. I drafted Gore's backup too, lol.

No

I did look at each play, frame by frame. I saw what I saw. If you remember, I was in Williams camp untill last game. Look at it again objectively. I did...

Wow, lol! I got Cutler in the 6th in a 12 team league. Picked up Josh Freeman in the 8th for insurance.

I think RB is weak like mine, but QB can offset that for you.

I'd really love to see a serviceable vet get the axe this week. Miracles happen, right?

I had my fantasy draft in my 15 year old 12 team league. Needless to say, my buds are experienced and ruthless competitors. Anyway, they dogged my draft strategy this year, while I thought I was ahead of the curve. Here are my starters: QB_CUTLER WR_MEGATRON, FITZGERALD FLEX_DWAYNE BOWE RB_GORE, ISAAC REDMAN TE_JIMMY GRAHAM K_WHO CARES D/ST_BEARS, BILLS I'm weak at running back, but loaded at the receiving, flex, tight end, d/st and qb. I thought it was great, especially starting from the 7 spot. Thoughts? Be as brutal as needed...

Had it too. Took year for it to go away. Good trick is to stretch your foot and calf while standing with your foot on a board.

Yes, I am... The type to say hahaha!

JaMarcus Webb is better than Chris Williams. The ceiling vs floor argument should be over, as Williams floor at LT is immensly low. He doesn't have the quickness, power or leverage to sustain blocks. Sure, he makes less mistakes than Webb, but it's not enough to overcome his shortcomings. Webb wins by default. That being said, we are in desparate need of an LG. Spencer makes too much money to have a roster spot. He takes a paycut or gets cut - IMO. Rachal was a wasted signing and should be cut. Carimi looked much better, with Garza an Louis remaining solid. I have to say, in this make or break year. I go for it and put Williams back at LG as the starter. Then, try to sign a swing tackle if an experienced vet gets cap cut. Or try a late round trade. Lastly, I haven't spoken about our TE's when talking OL, but they have been subpar. Spaeth should not make the team, as I have found him completely useless.
