I thought the new kickoff rules would limit the number of returns... judging by today it's increasing the number of big returns

Yeah everyone thought that coming in. However, we should be cautious not to swing back to the other guardrail and assume because of an outlier weekend that has seen 3 kickoffs returned for TD (how often does that happen?) that the move won't have any impact and we'll see big returns all year. My guess is coverage teams bought into the hype of touchback fest & got caught off guard a bit. Adjustments will be made.

Bench outscoring my starters already in week 1.....I hate this stupid hobby

Bench outscoring entire team of opponent at this point. Using Brady, Flacco benched. No FLEX RB went with Charles & Best over Tolbert. No specific TE, just WR/TE & I went Vernon Davis over Stevie Johnson.

On the other hand, I don't remember the last time I saw this many guys trying to run it out from eight or nine yards deep in the end zone and getting stopped around the ten.

so LT looks like he still has some gas in the tank. And looks like Shonn Green can use some of it.

Tough...I would say break, but... Kendrick owners just got lucky. My question is about Bradford's throwing hand.

Kendricks, a rookie TE, had 1 catch for 18 yards. Who exactly owns this guy, and why should they be lucky?

and Tony Romo hasn't missed a beat. He is still the master of turning a win into a loss.

I thought they tried to sit on the lead a bit early, which is a play calling issue. Plus, the defense must get its share of the blame.

I think he means that Kendricks will get the over-the-middle balls that would have gone to Amendola. Though it looks like Amendola may only miss 4-5 weeks instead of the whole season.

Kendricks should have had 3-50 and a TD, but he had two awful drops. Rookie jitters, I guess.

I know he's a sleeper TE prospect, but he did look awful yesterday. Two right off his hands.


Only 511 yards for Tom Brady tonight?

[Hammer]

I cant believe I am staying up to watch this sickly looking offense. The Broncos defense looks solid but the penalties and impotent offense is going to make me even grumpier in the AM.

[onejayhawk]

I had massive luck in RJ, and average lucj in my other league. 1-1. I gots to do better than this.

3-1 in my money leagues, 1-2 in my non-money leagues. That's the opposite of what usually happens to me.

[griswold]

I went 8-2 overall....lost to OneJay in the Liz Hurley League and lost in one of my experts league.

In most leagues, I had Rice, Welker or Brady or a combination thereof.

[revo]

2-1 in my leagues.

[Piney Boy]

2-1. Got my arse handed to me in RJ Play. Smoked my opponent in Liz. Nice win in another league.
