What is this, college football? There are something like 5 teams in which the QB is also the leading rusher this week. Especially with Bortles getting two TD's on the ground. It kills all the fantasy value of the other players. Teams and Players that want to win the game > Teams and Players that care about fantasy football values.

I like that a Rams vs Jaguars Super Bowl can technically happen right now.

Allow me to rant...Univ of Miami is one of my college teams I regularly watch. I watched Sean Taylor from the time he was a skinny lil freshman carrying Ed Reed's pads to him destroying Big East WRs who came across the middle. Taylor was a stud! He was one of the hardest hitters Ive seen..but can we PLEASE stop acting like he was the greatest football player ever just because he died?
I greatly respect him giving his life to protect his family but every year we have to go through this with the "Legend of Sean Taylor". He wasnt the best safety of all time, he wasnt the best defensive back of all time....He wasnt even the best safety of his generation! Remember him, honor him but please stop with the silliness.

If they are going to rely on QB's to be their leading rushers in an attempt to win a game, good luck with that. In 2 weeks, most of their QB's will be on the shelf with an injury if that keeps up. If you are Russell Wilson and have to get it done because all of your backs suck and you have some ability to do it, it's one thing. It is another to rely on Alex Smith to try and win the game running the ball.

I love, love seeing a Cowboys implosion. It almost makes me want to watch that Skip Bayless show, but nah. Also, more reasoning why I rarely listen to any of these talking heads talk about football. For 2 years many have proclaimed how good Dak is, and that he isn't a game manager, but now you see. He is still young and will get better, but he is a long way away. It's not just Dak, most of what they say is just garbage. They slobber over a handful of teams, and ignore the rest or just make up crap based on stats. I'm a Cowboys lifer, 43 years strong, but I am not a Dak fan. Let me rephrase that. I love Dak the person, I loveDak the football player but his skill set sucks. He cannot through a ball with any touch at all, especially the long ball. Unless the pass is under ten yards his accuracy is horrible. He doesn't have much mustard on his passes either. I told everyone last year he was not the long term answer and will stick by it. Romo was this generations Danny White for a Cowboys fan, I am not sure where Dak ranks yet, but he won't be Staubach of Aikman, but he isn't. Gary Hogaubam either.

Yeah, Dak the person is great, and I liked him going back to MSU. It's not his fault the media built him up as the 2nd coming. Give him back the run game and he is okay, and will probably improve as a passer in the coming years.
I'm a Falcon's fan and was taught to hate them because of the 1980 playoff game. Our fans felt we were the best team in the league that year and probably were. Unfortunately, that was only the first taste of Atlanta blowing leads in big games.

Are you upset because QBs are stealing fantasy points from RBs (as you mentioned in your first post) or are you upset that some teams are having QBs run more often and thus running a risk of injuring the QB? Many runs (including the fore mentioned Alexander Smith) are because of O-Line breakdowns vs. actual QB runs in the game plan. Many teams do have option plays, but that leaves the running decision to the QB who reacts to the defense. Can’t really fault a team if a QB decides to hold he ball and rush for it.

Just have to chime in that I sometimes find college football hard to watch because the QB isn't a QB, he's a RB who throws the ball sometimes. Its not as prevalent in the NFL but we are seeing more of it because you have to play to your players strengths and there are so many of these passing RBs coming out of college that coaches don't have a choice. I hate the run-pass-option offense. I'll take a pocket passer like Brady or a roll out and scramble only when necessary QB like Rodgers over one of these cleverly disguised running backs who sometimes throw the ball any day of the week and twice on Sundays.
From a team standpoint, it has to give the coaching staff nightmares trying to protect a running QB from themselves. At the very least, stop taking unnecessary hits. Learn to slide or run out of bounds or just throw the ball out of play. I bet RG III wishes he had learned to do one or more of those things. He might still have a NFL career if he did.
That's my old fart who longs for the good old days rant of the day. Up next, I'll go off on modern NBA players taking "rest days" and not caring about the regular season - an attitude that would make Jordan, Magic, or Bird literally puke up their lunch.

There are always going to be times when the QB runs it in and that is fine. I was commenting on how many backs that had 100 yards+ could not get it done this past weekend when it seemed that the so-called stars were putting up like 12 carries for 10 yards or getting 20 yards on 15 carries when 15 of the yards were on one carry and the remainder of their carries were 0 or negative yards. A lot of times it is the line not doing their job, but there were so many this past weekend against the likes of the Bills ( and others) who had been run over the past three weeks. The QB's having to run for their lives is not good for any team.

Sounds like McAdoo is trying to save his job He'll probably get fired as will the GM. Big game Thursday, Cowboys vs Redskins. Even though neither will make the playoffs this year but its a rivalry game. Go Cowboys!

I think the kicking net stopped Morris more than Washington’s defense has all night.

Tony Romo is rapidly becoming my favorite announcer. Nobody on the Bills covers Gronk on a 3rd and 10 play. Romo's call: "The Bills were playing cover zero." ROFL

Gotta say it... loved seeing the Chiefs player throwing the penalty flag into the stands. That's a first. Pretty cool souvenir too. If it was me there is no way I'm giving it back without some serious compensation. As far as the end of the game, I don't know which is worse: the Chiefs giving the Jets TEN plays from inside the five or the Jets needing all TEN plays to get a touchdown.

I stopped watching at the start of the 4th and took my dog for a walk.
Looks like I made the right decision.
You’d be amazed how many slot passes underneath you could stop when you don’t play 10 yards off the reciever every play.
I look forward to when we don’t resign Peters and he can take his immaturity and inability to play on the ball to Oakland where they revel in lacking sportsmanship and class.
