Loving this so far especially the fact he seems to have connected with Marty B. Should really take a lot of the pressure off Gronk, obviously not the greatest opposition but enjoyable to watch.

Only down side really is Stephen Gostkowski kicking. He's missed a few now since that missed PAT in the AFC Championship game, getting a little concerning.

Cousins throws a horrible interception and then because Mosley fumbles it when he was about a half yard from a TD somehow Washington get a gain on the play from where Cousins threw because of it being a touchback. Nice

How many years is this lack of an O-Line for Indy taking off Lucks career?

A 17 yard gain too.

4-1. Sammie Coates putting up serious numbers too despite some awful drops.

Dak Prescott = Russell Wilson.

He's careful with the ball, uses his legs when he has to. Conservative in his first year in the league, but I expect there is a lot more to come. He just looks so composed at all times. He also has a more highly touted rookie playing in the league, like Wilson did with Luck and RGIII. Like Wilson, he could be the best of his class too.

I'll start with yesterday's destruction of Rutgers to say if Jabrill Peppers does not win the Heisman this season something has gone horribly wrong. He only played one half and managed to be the best player on O, D and special teams during the whole game.

Onto the Lions - easily the best all round game played by the entire team today. Good blocking again and a much more seamless O, especially Stafford to Riddick, which the Eagles just didn't seem to know what to do with in the first half. 2nd was a much more even affair and the Eagles D really stepped up. Game was done though when Wentz finally threw an INT, Darius Slay with fantastic coverage and catch to win the game. On Wentz - very impressive, keeps this season up and he'll be rookie of the year.

Nice one, Rivers. You can leave now.

A poor throw, but he's without Allen, Woodhead and an O line which isn't exactly good.

I'd much prefer us to fire McCoy.

Where the fuck is RB? I want to be entertained dammit!

 

[kieran_vale]

Of all the problems the Chargers have Phil is definitely not one of them. Still put him high up the 2nd tier of QB's.

Very impressed with the Falcons so far. I know they've started seasons like this before and then faded but this just seems different. That O of theirs is a complete nightmare to gameplan against. Plus anyone who sticks it to Denver is good by me.

He's a big proponent of the health benefits of Nano-Bubbles too.

What's Romo's return schedule looking like?

 

[.V.]

Yeah, that wasn't good Phil.

 

[kieran_vale]

Yeah, that wasn't good Phil.

Almost like he just decided to do the punters job for him there wasn't it. Seem to be going for the home run shot a little too much.

Great work by the Chargers front there and nicely finished off by Bosa.

That was the first time I watched any part of a game this season. I turned on the TV, Raiders scored, Rivers makes a throw, intercepted.

So perhaps the problem is you and not Rivers?

I moved out of San Diego, what else can I do?

Week 8 vs Eagles has been mooted.

 

[kieran_vale]

Damn this is a Cleveland-esque horror show from the Bengals. Not to take anything away from Dallas of course.

Nicely done Chargers

 

[Renegade]

The Chargers love fumbling the ball and throwing away close games. Fully expect them to lose now.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

San Diego. What the hell, dudes.

 

[Renegade]

Haha, yup.

 

[kieran_vale]

Jesus Christ Chargers, I actually think they are cursed.

 

[Kim Mitten]

San Diego. What the hell, dudes.

ahahahah they are the new Browns, finding new and amazing ways to lose games in the 4th quarter.

 

[epic73]

What happened? I turned it off.

Sums ownership up.

Still, I won my fantasy match up and am 4-1 now.

 

[George Reilly's Hairpiece]

Expect to see CJ Mosley on a plane to San Diego...

Meanwhile Garcon had to pay to get back in the stadium.

A boy named Suh? It's ridiculous of keeping track on who's who in an 18 teamer, I'll probably be following your lead in just starting bye week players later in the season rather than trying to add players for one week flyers.

Trust Lafell to have a two TD game on the day I dropped his ass though but what the league really needs now is a few more injuries, to other teams players

I got stung by having to play Fuller vs the Vikings as I thought my other reserves were too good to drop for flyers (all other flex options were on a bye). Now most of my players are through bye weeks, bar when Pats have theirs (week 9 iirc).

Solid win last night. Offence was good (o-line isn't missing Sitton at all, Nelson getting better each week, Cobb finally being a difference, Lacy looking powerul) and bad (Rodgers 'only' had an ok game, nothing from TE, Lacy got injured and Starks was terrible), whereas the defence was good all-round in not giving up the big deep play despite no Shields or Randall.

Our run defence is excellent at the moment and has been all season (we must be the leader in rushing yards allowed) and now there's a fascinating matchup with the Cowboys visiting next week, given the o-line, Prescott, and Elliot torching the run.

Yup. I did try to get a TE but it didn't pass in time. Managed to win last week without a fit TE too.
