I know they missing Dak,most of their O Line and couple other injuries but that was embarrassing. I wanted them to pay Zeke first and worry about Dak and the others later but I don't know how good of a idea that was after how he's played this year so far,hopefully he can get straighten out and at least look like his old self. Zeke is a good back, but he's showing how desperately he needs a line. The mark of a great back is still managing to have 75-100+ypg if you're fielding literal corpses on the line. I'm not saying a back can't slip up, but then again I can't name too many backs the last decade who could manage that. Bell, AP (pre 2016), and Beast. Maaaaaybe Henry, but the jury's still out on him. He's finally starting to really shine, but let's see how he does in two seasons when that line is nuked. The yardage doesn't worry me as much as he can't hang on to the ball. I know having 4/5 of the line injuried or retired,your QB being out for the year and always coming from behind is a huge reason he isn't putting up the yards he's used to but all these fumbles is the main concern imo. I still think he's a top 5 back in the league but I thought he was good enough to put the team on his back and make the playoffs but after tonight I don't know if they can win another two games this season. |

Let Dalton get into his groove. If I learned anything being a Steelers fan facing Red, he may be easy to injure, but if you just give him a millisecond too much time, you're getting your ass smoked. And that's with receivers I can't even name. Kid is a general. I know somehow Ben has outlasted yet another set of first round QBs in the North but just trust me on this one. Wait till he finds his safety net at least. Four practices with majority snaps isn't gonna do that. Zeke popping out the basket isn't all too surprising either. That said, it's not a guaranteed fix, but what I've seen Tomlin, Bellichek, Reid, and even some wayward coaches like Rex and Kitchens, you give your back the ball on Monday as he's the only one there. He has to hold that ball all week. Tomlin and BB took this a step further with Juju and Burkhead respectively, having players randomly assigned to strip, and during practice they've got to catch/basket two balls. Of course when you've got two footballs and Vince Williams wants to pop your head off you're gonna drop, but I mean...it works? |

late to the party, but my ravens almost blew that huge lead in the second half. baltimore has never really developed great wide receivers in the entire history of the franchise. (don't get me wrong i love steve smith, bouldin, torrey smith, etc.. but fun fact: no raven receiver has ever made a pro bowl). we need more weapons on the outside. we're starting to become easy to figure out with our run-first momentum based offense. i love hollywood but wouldn't mind another "star"-vet receiver. and no, i'm not saying get antonio brown... but that would be interesting hahahaha.
it's tua time in miami. coming off of fitz leading the team to a shutout win... granted, it was against the jets but we knew the change at qb was coming soon enough. it was a good week in draft kings along with yahoo fantasy (started out 0-3, bounced back to 3-3... ended up missing my draft, auto drafted saquon barley in the first round (YUP sad times) and rolling with tannehill and foles as my 2-flex qbs. didn't look good on paper, but i like my team haha. fun primetime games on sunday and monday night on tap for week 7.

I'm shocked that McCarthy didn't run more plays with Pollard & Zeke in the backfield taking turns protecting Dalton. Seems pretty obvious to have an extra blocker back there for you...

That'd require competent coaching. Yeah...it’s not great. It makes me wonder if Jerry has the balls to get a new coach next season. |

After a lot of years barely getting .500 records and missing the playoffs with Garrett I'll make a guess and say he probably doesn't move on after one year but after some of the players pointing at the coaching staff I could be wrong. I can't say I was happy when they made the hire but I was just happy they got rid of Garrett, i might be rethinking that now. It might not help any or he could be impossible to get away from the booth but I hope they make a huge effort to bring Romo in if they do make a coaching change. |

I actually grew up hating STL and Chicago teams because their fans were such a$$holes. I picked the Reds because of Griffey's trade and adopted the Red Sox as a second team. For football I decided to go the Red Sox route (this was pre-2004) and pick a football team with no shot of winning, so I logically went with the Bengals. lol |

I never thought of Romo as a head coach. I kinda dig it. |

Brady vs Brees for that touchdown record is a fun side thing this year Eh, Brees is gonna retire and I don’t think Brady will, so it’ll be Brady’s next year even if Brees wins out this year. Wild Sunday night game. For a game with a lack of defense it was defense that came up big for Arizona in OT. I had a 36-point lead in fantasy before the game started... then Russ and Tyler Lockett happened. Luckily I have Kyler and Hopkins so I was able to still be up by 15 coming out of the game. 53 points for Lockett!! |
