I plan on not moving after 12 PM, watching the Red Zone Channel.

I'm curious to see if the Cowboys secondary is for real and if the Giants secondary is going to be awful. Witten is supposedly offering to sign a waiver in order to play tonight.

Visanthe Shiancoe placed on IR by the Pats, and Kellen Winslow-TE will not be joining the Patriots after failing his physical.

Go Cowgirls! Specifically Romo, Austin, and Dan Bailey.

I'm in two leagues this year, and combined I have 7 guys going tonight

Victor Cruz X2, Dez Bryant X2, Miles Austin, Dan Bailey, DeMarco Murray. Completely unintentional that I would up with so many Cowgirls. I **** despise that team.

Agreed, but I'm guessing the Cowboys will win since pretty much all the pundits picked the Giants.

I knew Wilson had fumble problems in college, but 1 in every 48 carries? Good god.

Well that was a pretty obvious F-Bomb lip sync there.

This DAL o-line is just horrendous. Penalties and suck at both run blocking and pass protection.

I have Romo x2 and dez bryant in my leagues, plus eli. Not looking good so far.

Maybe I've been watching too much MM, but I love me some deep passes on 3-1.

ETA - doing exceptionally well in my Fantasy Officiating League. Who knew picking tonight's line judge with my last pick would have paid off so much.

I'm playing Romo in one of my leagues, so a TD to their 3rd wideout does nothing for me.

Gaslight Anthem.

Ogletree going to be picked up like crazy this week, im guessing. Possibly this years Laurent Robinson for them.

He was getting claimed after his 1st TD in both my leagues.

This thread is a prime example of why i quit playing fantasy football a few years ago.

I found myself watching games, including Packer games sometimes where i was caring as much or more about how my fantasy players were doing in a given game than the game itself. I'd watch games i'd generally have little interest in over a better game just because i had multiple fantasy players on teams in the lesser game. It got so bad that in a money league i was in for years, i even got happy sometimes if a player of mine scored against the Packers. Surprisingly, i don't miss it much at all.

FWIW, i'm not ripping on anyone else who plays fantasy football very seriously.

Legitimately surprised NY didn't win this one. I missed the 2nd half but NY's front four was getting serious pressure. WTF happened? Their offense must not have done much.
