You left same time as someone else so we threw both teams into a pool and let the new owners do a 2-man draft. Both of the teams suck. Only 4 players from your last roster are still in The League. Your dream of building a championship around Johnny Knox and Beanie Wells did not come to pass.
Imma gonna stop starting my studs, playing matchups & just manage by primetime. If I can watch 'em on network tv without having to feed the box with my device, then Imma gonna start 'em. TNF, London, SNF, MNF. After I git them guys in ma lineup I'll look & see if I have room for Antonio & Gurley.
I dropped Eli for Bortles... Got tired of Eli's Jeckle/Hyde and Bortles is averaging more per game than him, almost two points!
Johnny Knox was gonna be a stud if he didn't almost die on the field. Dude had 960 yards in his second season and 727 before his third season was cut short and then he retired. I think for awhile at the end there, I was starting him and Devin Hester in some games. I won the inaugural title though.... #neverforget.
Oh, I will never forget. You only won because I choked in the semis. I traded for Brunell specially for that week to start over Vick since Vick had the Bears that week the year the Bears D was just crushing souls. Then at the last second I went all "never bench your studs" and Vick aye an egg while Brunell would have won my the game. Then I smoked the whole league in points in what would have been the Super Bowl. Yeah, I'll never forget.
That's the first time those words were put in the same sentence in the history of sentences.
If a tree falls in the forest ... but somebody intercepts the tree before it hits the ground ... does it still make a sound?
I'm debating it. Cousin's at home. NO getting gashed by the pass. I'm thinking three TD's from Cousins. Short week for Tyrod. Watkins maybe still banged up a little with Revis taking him out of the game some. I like Garcon, DJax, Reed, Crowder and maybe Thompson better than Woods, Hogan, Watkins and Clay.
That's what I decided. I couldn't pull the trigger last night and didn't think I'd want to use him anytime soon, so dropped him for a speculative WR.
That worked well on the Karlos TD reception, of course Taylor had time to wait on him.
I've seen all their games this year, and thought this was his worst game. He's usually pretty steady on the pocket, might step up or slide the pocket, but keep going through his progressions. The pocket was collapsing a lot quicker last night, and when he bailed usually Richardson or a LB had containment.The announcer made the point he waited for Karlos to break, we all watched/heard the same broadcast. I've seen him throw plenty of timing patterns so I wouldn't conclude it's indicative of his capacity/limitations.
Yeah, Tyrod isn't a sight thrower. He's been pretty good at throwing guys open.
Are you laughing at criticism of the throw to Watkins? Did you notice as Watkins got up he was motioning back to Taylor to throw it toward the middle of the field?
Sammy looked like he was drunk. He never picked up the track of the ball, jumped so early he was back on the ground & falling down. So let's just we both think it was a good but not perfect throw, and 51-99% Sammy's fault.Are you laughing at criticism of the throw to Watkins?

Watkins was inside Revis and had maybe a step on him. If Taylor throws the ball toward the middle of the field, it would have allowed Watkins to run under it while running away from Revis instead of having to make a contested catch. As it was, if Watkins made the catch it would not have been a TD unless Revis blew the tackle. Leading Watkins toward the middle of the field would have much more likely resulted in a TD.
It wasn't a bad throw, but it could have been better.
So why is it funny to point out that a better throw would have also led to a TD?Sammy looked like he was drunk.

We all saw him pointing inside. We all heard the announcer say "Two things on that play. Watkins jumped too early, and Tyrod has to throw it upfield." Since it was Simms we could presume he meant "more inside" since it wasn't under thrown.
Sammy is a gifted athlete. Have to wonder if it's just lack of reps or game experience. Good WR but he was supposed the head of a phenomenal class. Bot of a disappointment so far but he's young & right now plays in a low volume passing attack.
Because most people in the game thread, the Watkins thread, my house & my office thought that was on Watkins. The throw was good enough but it had no chance once Samny botched it. Struck me as absurd anyone (let alone multiple posters) would argue otherwise.So why is it funny to point out that a better throw would have also led to a TD?Sammy looked like he was drunk.

By "on", do you mean deserves more than 1/2 the blame? If so, I don't disagree- Watkins miss-timed his jump and should have caught that ball. That doesn't change the fact that what I said is true- if the throw was more to the wide open inside of the field (where Sammy was running), it would have given him an even better chance at a TD. It was far from a "perfect pass" like some were saying.Because most people in the game thread, the Watkins thread, my house & my office thought that was on Watkins.
