KC vs Denver (1 Viewer)

[Polish Hammer]

Even though it is week 3, someone should bump the threads on the VBD numbers saying to draft Gonzo in the early third round. 

In my league, TEs get 2 ppr, and I still somehow got Gonzo in the early third of a 14 team league. He hasn't been stellar this year, but he's been getting many looks tonight. I'm not too worried.

I wouldn't be able to argue if it was 2 PPR in a 14 team league. That's a steal!

Then we are in agreement. When I drafted him, I preceded it with, "I have NO IDEA how this guy hasn't been taken already, but your foolishness is my reward." Maybe that was a bit much, but either way, I'm happy.

Jake Plummer should get the Trailer - but the guys in the booth say Pryce - hard to argue.

God, I can't wait to watch a great NFL game, haven't seen one this season yet!

Night

Dolphins/Panthers.Steelers/Patriots.

Both were really good games, though maybe not "great."

Also, wasn't the Jags game this past week an OT game? How about SF/Boys? Wasn't that one really close till the end?

It's early - early season "great" games are pretty rare. Wait until the season really starts to mean something for some teams - or there are some "revenge" games.

Or Cowboys-Redskins last week. Or Cowboys-Chargers in week 1. Them Cowpokes like drama.

or Oakland/Eggles

another really good game.But, Cream is right - there haven't really been any GREAT games yet. Lots of close games that I would call "good" games.

The closest thing to a "great" game was the Steelers/Pats ga,e - there was playoff level hitting on defense in that game.

Randle-El's inept play ruined that game for me. I liked Redskins-Cowboys the best, good defense again, but the late drama in that game surpassed the drama in Pats-Steelers.

No way - Steelers putting together a HUGE drive at the end of the game to get in for the TD and then Pats driving in like three plays with only 45 second left to win it on Vinnie's leg?WAY more drama than Brunell lucking into hitting Moss on two bombs.

Anderson might be a good candidate to sell high, especially if he goes over 100 yards tonight.

Right, because all he's done by rushing 20 times, (4 times as many carries as any of his teammates) is prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that he's THE MAN in Denver...and we all know how much the man in Denver is worth. Getting rid of him is a great move here.

The o-line appears to be alot worse than in previous years.

Why is it that all of a sudden KC's O-line appears a lot worse? Did it appear alot worse when KC was averaging 160 yards rushing a game over the first two? Maybe Denver's D-line is just a lot better.

This is nothing new. He has the RB he trusts in there to run out the clock, even if they are up 70 points.

That's absolutely it. Mike Anderson is a proven commodity.

2 things are very, very clear to me.

1) Priest is still the #1 RB, and still has skills

2) The entire offense will come around when the O-Line is healthy and gelled.

Emphasis on #2. The line is only forging holes every 3rd play, and is especially bad right now in pass protection. In years past, Green had ALL DAY to pass. Not know. Get Roaf back, get in synch, and this offense will roll again..

Again, why is it an offensive line problem? Denver got 4 sacks in the second half against San Diego last week, and they brought a ton of pressure and blitzes on KC this week. Pryce played like a stud, and Shanahan looks like a genius for signing those Browns castoffs.

I targeted him in every one of my drafts but he always went early before my pick. Now, I'm not so sad about it.

Even though it is week 3, someone should bump the threads on the VBD numbers saying to draft Gonzo in the early third round.

Right, and someone else should pull up his numbers through three weeks in '03. Oh wait, here they are. 7 receptions, 78 yards, 0 TDs. How'd he wind up doing last season again? 71 for 916 and 10 TDs? What about last year through 2 weeks? 6 receptions, 80 yards, 0 TDs? And he finished with 102 receptions for 1258 and 7 TDs? Hmmm... perhaps it's too early to start burying him.

I don't know how the Denver RB situation will shake out this year, but Tatum Bell has a WORLD of potential in that offense & will have an excellent chance to be the feature back in '06, IMO. Take note, dynasty-leaguers.

Why? Because he's fast? Do the words "Michael Bennett" mean anything to you?

I just checked the stats at nfl.com.

From this, I can confidently say that A. Lelie will be the DEN RB stud this year...and I didn't draft him to go with Anderson, Bell, Dayne and Q-Tip!!

SSOG, I said it first in this thread, and I will say it again now. Forget Anderson...forget Bell...forget Dayne..forget Q...Lelie WILL be the featured RB in DEN this year!The YPC stats are undeniable!!!!

Trevor Pryce regarding Priest: "I think he's hurt, quite honestly. I think there's something wrong."

Yeah, but Yahoo won't let me start him at RB. Plus, I think Plummer will vulture his goal line carries.
