You're Crazy: If you said these things 8 weeks ago (1 Viewer)

[TheDirtyWord]

It's always fun to see how much the NFL landscape changes from year to year and in alot of cases, week to week. What was deemed absolute lunacy a short time ago, is reality today. Here are some of mine...

Who Should I Start:

Steve Slaton or LaDainian Tomlinson

Kyle Orton or Peyton Manning

Desean Jackson or T.J Houshmandzadeh

Other categories

TO won't have a 100 yard game prior to Halloween.

I really think the Atlanta Falcons have a shot at the playoffs.

Kerry Collins will helm the only undefeated team in the NFL through Week 7.

Is Kurt Warner one of the best QB's in the NFL?

3 Head Coaches will be fired by mid-season.

Care to add?

 

[BIGGjohnny]

FATDALE White will break an 80 yard TD run......

 

[The Hank]

Mewelde Moore is a well-balanced RB, and could be a starter for half of the teams in the NFL.

Antonio Bryant is a Top-20 WR

 

[puckalicious]

This year could be the only time in history that TWO teams go 0-16...

I expected the Lions to be really bad this year, but I thought the Chiefs would merely be kind of bad. What a shame they don't play each other.

I've seen this said about the Chiefs in a couple of threads. NEWSFLASH: The Chiefs have already won a game. You can't go 0-16 when you win a game.

the Chiefs have already won a game, the Bengals have been competitive the last few. That leaves the Lions...

Not in PPR or non-PPR

Mewelde Moore is a well-balanced RB, and could be a starter for half of the teams in the NFL.

As a guy who drafted him as a dynasty rookie and who waited on him for three full seasons before trading him, I could have told you this years ago. He's always been talented, and in fact when Childress came aboard in Minny I thought Moore was going to be his Bryan Westbrook given the similarity in their skill sets. His issues have never been talent, they've been health, toughness and the refusal of the coaches to play him more. The irony here is that Moore finally got the chance to show what he could do as a starter not with a team using a lot of passes to set up the run, but rather with a Steelers team traditionally associated with a smash-mouth running style. I thought for sure he'd get buried on that depth chart and would wash out of the league due to a lack of opportunities.

Matt Millen will be fired

The St. Louis Rams have a shot at the playoffs.

Don't believe me, just check their schedule (9-7 if below holds true).

I think when given time to throw, everybody considered Warner to be a top QB before the season.

 

[Butters]

Should I start Cedric Benson or Torry Holt at flex?

 

[zamboni]

Greg Camarillo will be one of the more consistent WRs in the NFL.

 

[smcindoe]

"The team in my league with LaDanian Tomlinson and Adrian Peterson as starting RBs is in last place."

(Hey, why are all these empty liquor bottles around me? Oh right, because that team is me. Glug glug.)

 

[hbkhbk]

Is Kurt Warner one of the best QB's in the NFL?

I think Warner proved that long time ago. Injury may have slowed him down the past few years, but he is one of the best during those Rams days...

The Cowboys will be looking for ways to get Roy Williams on the field in passing situations.

Whoops, my bad. Sorry bout that not checking first. Well let's go Lions, make NFL history!!

 

[T Bell]

Jason Campbell has thrown 202 consecutive passes without an interception to open the season in a new offense.

7th round draft pick Chris Horton has become a starter and impact player, and is a favorite to win the DROY.

 

[GroveDiesel]

The Colts will struggle to make the playoffs.

The Buffalo Bills will have the inside track on winning the AFC East.

The Seahawks will be one of the worst teams in the league.

The Atlanta Falcons will start 4-2 with a legitimate shot at the playoffs.

Kyle Orton and JT O'Sullivan will be top 10 fantasy QBs.

Ronnie Brown will be a top 10 RB early on.

Don't forget about my Bengals, we are actually closer at this point at 0-7 than the Lions. I can definitely see week 17, the 1-14 Chiefs at the 0-15 Bengals.

I'm not sure about that. The Lions are not going to win a game if they go down 21-0 every week.

I am pretty sure he means that 0-7 is closer to 0-16 than 0-6 is. No doubt the Lions are a worse team. If you look at the Lions schedule they have 3 games in the division and a bunch of teams that should crush them. (Indy, TB, Car, NO, Ten, Jax,) Not exactly sure what teams they play, but off the top of my head this list is pretty close.

 

[parrot]

Seven games into the season, the Chicago Bears will be the highest scoring team

Who-Dey!, brother. Who-Dey indeed. Brings back memories of the undefeated Chiefs coming into a lousy Bengals team and the Bengals ending the streak a few years back.

 

[Wu-banger]

Tom Brady will not throw a td all season.........

Tom Brady will throw less touchdown passes than LT2 , ARE , or Dan O.

 

[kaa]

Phillip Rivers would be leading the NFL in touchdowns.

 

[T.A.]

That 8 weeks in... Aaron Rodgers (sans the snow) may be the the quarterback of fantasy choice down the stretch.

No disrepect meant to anyone else; like Brees, Warner, Cutler or Romo.

 

[Fodasme69]

Tatem Bell will no longer need to be motivated

 

[B Will]

Cant forget What Mr. Brett Favre Has done for the Jets.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Cant forget What Mr. Brett Favre Has done for the Jets.

Led them to a mediocre 3-3 record while throwing 8 INTs through 6 games (ok, 13 TDs too) and fumbling 6 times?

 

[zamboni]

The venerable John Carlson will be leading the Seahawks in receptions.

 

[hove]

The Cowboys will be looking for ways to get Roy Williams on the field in passing situations.

Thread over, we have a winner.

 

[Buckeyedawgs]

The week 7 who to play at qb weekly cheat sheet was upside down. (omitt 3.Scaub)

1. Brees 24th 15.Cassel was first

2. Peyton 25th 14.Ortin was second

4. Favre 26th 13.Garcia was 4th

5. Rodgers15th 23. Olvski was 5th

6. Rivers 17th 21.Penningham was 6th

7.Cutler 21st 24 Freotte was 7th

8.Campbell 20th

9.Eli 23rd

And this was not a FBG mock. All the cheat sheets out there were bad this week. FBG was actually better then some of them!

3 Head Coaches will be fired by mid-season.

Care to add?

Most of the stuff you listed was great, but one thing that will never surprise me is NFL front offices overreacting to slow starts and having itchy trigger fingers with respect to head coaches. Happens every year.Now, if you told me that Snyder employee Jim Zorn wouldn't be one of the three, and would actually be a coach of the year candidate, I might have questioned your sanity.

 

[Buckeyedawgs]

The way S.L. is playing after there coaching change there might be about 5 more head coaches axed withion the next few weeks. And Oakland looked much better too this week. Front offices see that and will say why not. San Frnasco will probably clobber Seattle and Arizonia next two games. Next thing you know Crennel, Lewis,Marinelli, Edwards will be gone too. And maybe even Wade Phiilips by then!
