better get our act together or we'll be down 17-7 pretty soon. Defense holds the saints to 3. We're down by 6. O-Line needs to give Jay some time.

Jay getting no time then we get an interferance call on the punt return. things starting to slip away from the bears. need to just get back to playing our game.

blown coverage and we give up a long TD pass.....

Good stuff there lol here's to that continuing. A bear win today and a Packers loss would be nice Bears just held the Saints to a FG in the red zone. Hester was a shoestring from breaking a long return possibly.

on a time out the ball advances a yard??? and the saints are whining?

And packers are losing 10-0 against carolina lol

announcers still whining about that late hit penalty on Cutler. He hit him then drove him to the ground well after the the throw. If that would have been Brees and no flag they'd have been whining. Homers.... The Bears made some mistakes on that drive but they are crediting the TD drive to penalties on the saints. Nice TD for Sanz. LOL back from break and they are still whining about that. They prob have money on the saints.

no TD's for Forte?

best wishes to him and his family, while as a fan of football I'd want him out there but, it is just a game and family is far far more important. I'm glad he is back at practice and looks like he'll play Sunday. I would have had no problem had he not been back and wasn't going to play Sunday. Every situation is different and every person mourns in their own way. Brian is/will do what he needs to and the coaches, player, and fans have his back and support whatever that is. Sometimes it is best to get busy doing something you love or something you are used to that is "normal" to keep your mind occupied. Not that you want to forget but to keep you from dwelling on it.

Opposing players explaining to their coach how they were blocked out of the play or run over by (a) Clutts.

That number seems fair for both sides, he is a key part of our offense and has far outplayed his rookie contract. As Larry the Cable Guy would say Git 'r Done!!!

I have the Saints defense and after Thurs night's performance I'm concerned about the Saints D this season. They netted me whopping 4 points, my kicker got me more points than that. the available Defenses in FA are listed below but non of them gets me that excited either. I could try to trade for a better defense, or is it too early to give up on the saints D. Of course next week I hope they totally tank again. If it helps here's the defensive scoring system for my league. Sacks:1 point Interceptions:2 points Fumbles Recovered:2 points Fumbles Forced:2 points Safeties:2 points Touchdowns:6 points Blocked Kicks:2 points Kickoff and Punt Return Touchdowns:6 points Points Allowed 0:10 points Points Allowed 1-6:7 points Points Allowed 7-13:4 points Points Allowed 14-20:1 point Points Allowed 21-27:0 points Points Allowed 28-34:-1 point Points Allowed 35+:-4 points 49ers Houston Oakland Washington Buffalo Minny Denver Tampa Bay Cleveland Indy Cincy Jax St. Louis Tenn Carolina Kansas City Miami Seattle

LOL that's funny right there, I don't care who you are that's funny right there. Git 'er done!

hopefully neither is too serious. Ankle sprain for an Offensive linemen is a tough one. if it's minor maybe 1-2 weeks. Spencer didn't do too bad filling in not that he was replacing a pro bowl guard. Roy was looking pretty good till he came up lame on that last catch. Hope it's minor too, but even if it isn't minor we have Knox who's hungry and more than happy to step in and make a bid to take over the #1 job from Roy. Signing Roy I think has lit a fire under Knox and that's a good thing. Considering the other injuries suffered around the league in week one I'd say we escaped in pretty good shape and may get another piece back next week with Barber possibly returning. Bell made some nice runs glad to see him get in the action he's earned some playing time. As has Dane, though the end around with Dane never had a shot that's not his strength. Good to see us finding some talent in the undrafted FA class.

Harbaugh Whines Jim Harbaugh is whining over the lack of highlights of his 49ers win. Dude, welcome to the club, stomped Atlanta and barely a mention of it on NFL.com Instead you see things like the 1 game HOF career of Cam Newton, etc. When your not one of the media darlings you get next to no coverage or love. Jim, you played in Chicago you should know that lol.

Cartoon inspired by yesterdays game. Enjoy!

Here's hoping the Aints keep Kruetz in at least one more week before they realize he just might be washed up lol. I love Kruetz and what he did here but I think his best move would have been to retire he just doesn't have it anymore. The past few years he's gotten progressively worse what he's doing now is just trying to extend a career that he should just walk away from.

That was a brilliant play call, execution was great up to the throw and it sailed a bit on Cutler. From the replay it almost looked like Davis had room to adjust to the ball but stood there and let it go over his head. But great play call and if executed that was a walk in TD. I like some of the wrinkles that Marts is throwing in here and there. I still think Hester did score on that long run... bad camera angles cost us a TD on that play but we got it on the next play anyway. I thought we got a bit cutesy on that drive that resulted in the turnover for the TD. I liked us staying aggressive but I think you need to be smart about that too and not try to get too clever for your own good.

Bears kicked arse today against on of the "experts" teams, The Chargers came back to beat the Vikings, and my fantasy team will likely lead all scores this week with nearly 180 fantasy points. Been a good weekend for sports here lol Looking forward to talking a little smack. The guy I was matched up with this week, his team is named "Running Away With it"

Nothing was more enjoyable than watching our D-Line get constant pressure with just the front four we didn't need to blitz much and played coverage most of the day with the back 7 limiting the big plays. This is why defensive line penetration is so critical to our defensive scheme. When we have to take guys out of the secondary to assist with pressure and run stopping it put's more pressure on the secondary. I will admit going in to this game I was nervous given the hype. But other than a atheletic play on Atlanta's D giving them their only TD. We held the high powerered, unstoppable, super bowl bound offense with the second coming at QB to..... 2 field goals..... that's right not a typo.... 2 FGs. LOL HA HA HA HA HA

Really glad I didn't pick Manning in my work fantasy league. I was surprised he went #9 overall in our draft. By a Colts fan who also drafted Clark and Wayne. lol I've only got one Colt on my team and that's Joseph Addai which now with the mess there I'm considering shopping him as trade bate if there's no takers I may either keep him or drop him. With no manning teams will stack the box and dare the colts to throw whether it's grey beard or finger painter.

Lost out on Harvin I had the lowest claim priority and so I lost out on him and the other two WR's I was looking at. Would you change anything about the starting linup? based on what I have. Anyone I pick up at this point will be a bench player this week. This was poorly played on my part I should have picked up Amandola at least till I knew if I'd get Harvin or not. I'm inclined to keep shiancoe as he's better than any of the available FA TE's I'm looking more at a WR who could be a sleeper. the ones I'm looking at Donald Jones - Buff Derrick Mason - Jets Plaxico Burress - Jets Lee Evans - ravens Kevin Walter - Texans Nate Washington - Titans Damien Williams (britt handcuff) - Titans Steve Breaston - KC Jacoby Ford - OAK Darrius Heyward Bey - Oak Malcom Floyd - chargers D. Hester - Bears (inconsistency scares me but will be on punt returns) Nate Burleson - Detroit Rashied Davis - Detroit Donald Driver - GB Jordy Nelson - GB Bernard Berrian - Minny Meachem - Saints Andre Roberts - AZ Brandon Gibson - Stl

Do you think I should make any changes to this lineup? I made a couple moves placing Calvin Johnson back at WR in place of Holmes, and placed Ray Rice back to RB in place of Joseph Addai. Here's a screen shot of my game center. I am one player short but I have made a waiver claim on Percy Harvin. I probably should have picked up Armandola or Lance Moore, both were picked up while I was waiting on Harvin to clear waivers. Now if he doesn't I won't get Harvin or either of my two second choices. Had I picked one of those two up and placed a claim on Harvin I'd have been in a better spot should I not get Harvin. Live and learn I guess.

In our PPR league I traded Pierre Thomas and Willis McGahee for Matt Forte. This trade opened a roster spot for me but required the other guy to drop a player. I was absolutely shocked at who he dropped. Percy Harvin??? even more shocking considering it now leaves him with only 2 WR on his roster (bench included, and 6 RB) He also has 3 QB, 2 Def, 1 TE, and 1 kicker. Personally I'd have dropped one of my RBs or my 3rd QB and that would be Matt Flyn since he'll likely only get snaps in a blowout or the very unlikely case where Rodgers goes down with injury beyond maybe a one game loss for concussion. If I were to handcuff a QB (which I wouldn't) I'd see it more on a QB who isn't playing behind a starter who is firmly entrenched as #1 and/or is extremely durable. I was considering going after WR to fill out my roster and like both Danny Amendola and Lance Moore but now Harvin is there on the Waiver wire and so tempting. We have a 1 day wait on waiver claims our waivers reset each week in reverse order of standings but since week 1 hasn't started yet it would that go by reverse draft order in which case I have the lowest waiver claim priority. Either way I think it would be smart to make a claim on him and see if I can grab him, if not go with one of the guys I was looking at anyway. Doubtful that i'll get him since I have the lowest claim priority and he's likely to get a claim bid by someone unless people are hoping he clears waivers by Wed but worth a try I think.

both of those are good options. I need to get a hold of our league manager he was going to change the trade wait settings. Currently the trade is offered, once accepted it has to wait two days for leauge review and vote if enough people say no to it the trade is declined. Which is dumb since really it's no other teams business when we trade players if the two teams in question agree it should be final. The wait puts me in a limbo spot since the trade involves me sending two players his way for one my way creating a virtual open roster spot which I want to fill, but cant till monday. If a player I want for that spot get snatched before my trade becomes "official" then I get screwed out of a player. Plus it's a bad rule since lets say one or more other teams wanted that guy and decide to decline the trade simply because they want a crack at that guy. The league manager needs to change that setting or this is going to create a lot of chaos in our league. In Fantasy football being hamstrung for 2 days is an eternity.
