Arodin

Fairbairn 16 pts long 46 Reasons: 1) Someone already took Lutz, 2) Too many KC injuries to rely on Butker getting in range often. 3) Soft matchup and stall offense. 4) My imaginary friend likes him.

The only difference between this thread and the Mike McCarthy version is that McCarthy is gone so that thread is moot. Two good but not great coaches whomhave steadily lost their team over the past seasons as player aging leads to decline in on-field glory. The real mystery is why there isn’t a smilar long thread about firing Marvin Lewis.

Bradley Sowell headlines the "Week 15 waiver wire pickups" thread.

Seemed to me like the "flow of the game" at the point Ben came back out of the locker room was "down the toilet." But I guess Tomlin was OK with that...

That was a rule change about a year ago I believe.

"Player safety" of course. It's the excuse for everything these days.

Ben came back on the field helmet in hand, but then didn't go into the game mid-drive. Hopefully he gets in the next time Pittsburgh gets the ball. Otherwise it's going to be a rough day for anyone starting Steelers' offensive players.

Every injury goes into the live feed logs as "questionable to return" practically the moment it gets posted. Then the real news comes out later. Never understood why the live feeds waste our time like that. I guess people's need for instant information outweighs any need for it to be accurate.

Why is Dobbs in at QB for the series?

...Christine Michael! The only thread made into a complete trilogy.

No, George Jefferson is that 49ers runningback...

I think he was one of those founding fathers Philly folks are always talking about...

Wow...4 yards short of that in the half. It'll be criminal if they don't try to get Kittle over that early in the 2nd.

Over 200 yards in the 1st half! What's the NFL record for TE receiving yards in a game?

Usually the first guy gets the reception and initial yards, the lateral guys get their yardage, and of course the TD guy gets his TD.

Cooper would have had a TD but Dak underthrew it right at the DB that was a full yard behind him...

I think it's pretty common when you're leading 34-0 and your RB has already logged 150+ yards that you let his backup get some action and give him a breather...

Tracy Wolfson just told us that trainers "had Tyreek Hill's foot off." Fortunately video showed it was not quite so serious, but he was having trouble walking without support. Not good for Hill owners...

Baltimore?

Don't forget WRs. Kenny Stills is back, and Coradrelle Patterson is on the board!

Bolden with the long TD run as Belicheck takes trolling of fantasy players to a whole new level!

Which will be the next wave of FF technology imo. We are at the point where live betting play by play is an actual possibility. So why not live-timed FF scoring? Ben goes down, doesn’t come in. The Steelers have 1:48 left in the 3rd quarter. We should have the stats capability such that league hosting sites can award that fantasy team all the points earned by the designated 2nd string QB in his game from 1:48 in the 3rd onward. Wanted this for decades, but was never feasible. Soon, though...

Happy if I am facing either, thrilled to be facing both. No interest at all in starting them, unless it’s a huge league (16+ teams). But for those of you actually playing in 32-man leagues Conley easily. Guy actually has a role in their offense other than “watch the DBs run around and go get some more Gatorade.”

I think he’s basically out for a year too, mainly due to a suspension that, while not officially a one-year ban, takes him deep enough into the season to not face the kind of market for his services he might want. At some point it becomes better to wait till offseason when every team has an infusion of cash and cap space, rather than sign in-season when every one is near the cap. Exception might be a late-season injury to an RB star on a playoff-bound squad, that would be willing to pay big on a “rest of season” signing. Then we might see Hunt appear just in time to swing fantasy playoffs for owners that stashed him. I would happily pay a mid to late 1st for him. Would be smashing the accept button in that.
