Another lousy match up and game for the NFL on this Thursday night Crap. No wonder the ratings are lower this year. Time to go back to the good old days. Only the big boy match ups on prime time.

I’ve lost Dalvin Cook, and Charles Clay. Then starting this week I’m likely losing Zeke. I’m sitting at 7-1 though. I was lucky enough to be able to pick up McKinnon and drafted Wentz. I’m praying the Cowboys are as high on Rod Smith as I’m hearing. Going to give him 1 week before I start him though.


I’m 7-1 as well so far but I’ve had incredible luck with injuries. I lost Woodhead week 1 who was originally my RB2 but I didn’t start and that’s basically it until Watson today.

Former Seahawks aren’t doing anything for me in this game. Starting Kearse and Hauschka and I’m barely getting anything from either.

World Series win for houston, lose our promising rookie qb to a torn acl the next day....

You also have a very good basketball team this year. That's something to look forward to !!


What is this “good basketball team” thing?

Wait. I remember when I had a good basketball team.

Never mind.

Dear titty loving Christ just let the Zeke drama end already...

Anyways, Colts/Texans went from an easy win to a probable loss now with Watson out. Hopefully Savage proves me wrong, I once had high hopes for him but not so much anymore.

Really no reason to even watch now, won’t be nearly as exciting with him out for the season.
We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

Redskins vs. Seahawks. Huge game. I am hoping this is a launching ramp game for the Hawks. I'm looking for a convincing win for the Hawks. The game where the Seahawks become regarded as possibly the team to beat in the NFC again. They win, they're 6-2 at the halfway point, right where I hoped they'd be.

They will play both Atlanta and Philadelphia at home in the next four weeks following this game. In other words, they will be in a favorable position to take care of those two teams on their own. Green Bay is gone without Rodgers. We've beat the Rams already on the road, and get to play them at home the next time where we usually take care of business. Maybe I should, but I just don't fear the Vikings yet for the Hawks.

That leaves the Panthers, Cowboys, and Saints, only one of which we play, the Cowboys on the road.

Where do people put Russell Wilson on the MVP list now? Top 5? Top 3?

Getting a little more excited about the Hawks since our acquisition of Brown and the potential for our OL to round out into decent enough shape later in the year.

Pretty damned sad isn't it...

Everything that went right last season... gone wrong this season.

Yeah man. My expectations this year were: 1. Get into the playoffs 2. Win a play off game.

That was it. I am in serious doubt now.

I still think Oakland is a pretty decent team, they've just had a lot of tough breaks this season. It also doesn't help to play in what I consider the toughest division in football. I fully expect the Raiders to win 5 or 6 more games this season and be right back in the spotlight next season.

Man I hate playing the Falcons. Julio Jones shreds us every. single. time.

I'll never forget last season when he got 300 yards against us.

Watson being out is such a bummer, now all we have to be excited about is watching our secondary get crapped on repeatedly and hoping we can even score a couple FG's on offense.

Booourns.

Jonathan Stewart might be my least favorite Panther of all time.
