NFL 2010

Now THAT was the Seahawks team I was expecting (and dreading).

The Rams might actually win the west.  I want the Niners to win, not just hang in there.

It's my fault, I started Hasselbeck on my FF team this week. :(

[Muffled]

That is a truly awesome power, Sjofn.  Could you maybe start Vince Young next week?  Trade for him if you need to. 

Thanks.

Giants/Bears. So far all I can say is the game is clownshoes. 9 sacks on Cutler so far in the first half?  And still only down by 3?

[Sjofn]

That's also my fault, the Giants defense is sitting on my bench. 

[WayAbvPar]

You should start a mail order voodoo doll business!

[Paelos]

That's also my fault, the Giants defense is sitting on my bench. 

I'm going to be intrigued by how many points they actually put up at the end of the day.

[Sjofn]

23.00 in the league I play in!  


EDIT: And yes, I would've won my match up if I had started them!

Hi Jacqueline!

Welcome to F13.net.  Thank you for your almost in context post, plus the link for tickets.  I'd been hoping for a handy link, and presto!  There it was.  I'm sure we'll be seeing great things from you in the future.

Your New Friend,

Seriously, we're getting moles in the sports forum now?

It's better than the politics forum

Vick's problem is that he can't stop. He's constantly going 110% on every play, and while that can lead to some spectacular highlights, he gets his ass beat up a lot. How often do you see him simple slide or go out of bounds easy? Hell, he got blasted near the goal line going for the endzone out of bounds last week.

He'll get injured at some point, or have some costly fumbles.

Yep, two weeks for my prediction to already come true. That's a new record.

If Vick gets signed for $12 million, there is something seriously fucked up with the NFL.

[Segoris]

The NFL has been fucked up for years: Ray Lewis and Big Ben say hi!

[shiznitz]

Eagles are in talks to get Marshawn Lynch.  I don't know if I should cry or not.

[Murgos]

Dolphins (i.e. Bill Parcells) fired the special teams coach this morning.

Anyone seen Stallworth on the Ravens sideline lately? I swore I caught a glimpse the other day. Leonard Little might peak around the corner to say what's up too.

[Paelos]

Might as well. That game was horrid.

[Ingmar]

Seahawks got him. Forsett is probably thinking "what the hell, I already spent years playing behind this guy in college, what do I have to do?"

[Zetleft]

Short answer, play better.  Though on the seahawks you are doomed anyway.

[WayAbvPar]

Kind of a headscratcher. At this point it is obvious that all Carroll and Schneider are doing is amassing as much 'talent' as they can, then seeing what pieces fit. I have never been a Lynch fan, so I am not overly excited about it. The one good bit is this should end the Julius Jones era in Seattle. One of Ruskell's worst moves- I don't know of a fan who liked the signing, and his play sure didn't build his fanbase any larger.

Now what? Forsett on 3rd down and returning kicks? Where is Washington going to get his touches? It feels like a move just to say 'we made a move to try to improve the team'. Until the O-line is fixed, it doesn't matter who they bring it.

I want to know which player Sjofn benched/played to get that result. 

[Sjofn]

No one that I can see (I somehow have no Dolphins on my team whatsoever), but I DID cause Randy Moss to not have a single reception.

[Ingmar]

...I started Brandon Marshall and Ronnie Brown. Oh god she's contagious

[Paelos]

Randy Moss is getting traded to the Vikings.

http://www.sportingnews.com/nfl/feed/2010-10/moss-to-vikings/story/report-randy-moss-trade-to-vikings-done-deal

All for a third round draft pick? WTF? I didn't think he was that much of a cancer at NE, but I think this is a huge mistake by the Pats.

The Pats have consitently gotten rid of good but aging players for the chance of picking up more talent.  They draft real well generally speaking, even though they don't get tons of fanfare for it.  Now, I agree that Moss is still an asset to that team, but they've made so many moves that I've thought were sketchy over the years only to come out ok anyway that I basically trust their judgement at this point.  Also, Im not a New England fan, so it doesn't bother me much either way...

[Nebu]

Sending one of the best deep threats in the NFL to a team with an aging QB that can't throw deep.  I laugh.  

This trade will only make sense to those on the inside.  There's a lot that we don't know.  I'm guessing that Minnesota is putting all of their eggs in one basket as they believe that they will have a lot of rebuilding to do in the coming years.  Take some talented aging players for the shot now, rebuild later.

[Bunk]

It sucks that it will make me consider starting Favre over Orton.

[WayAbvPar]

The Patriots don't tolerate dissent or anyone who doesn't toe the company line. Moss wore out his welcome.

[Murgos]

Moss hasn't caught a deep ball in ages.  He is great in the end zone but running 40 yards down the field to snag a ball out of the air with nothing but dust behind him isn't something he does any more.

[Slayerik]

But Brady is pretty much a 'dink and dunk' short passer, maybe causes Moss to not wanna run.

[Paelos]

I personally love the move, because Moss is on my fantasy team and hasn't done anything in 4 games. It was obvious they were going to snub him, making him worthless. Now, he's going to a team where he will be an obvious #1, facing off against much shittier teams on a divisional basis, and I predict he will pull in 60+ receptions over his next 12 games.

[Nebu]

But Brady is pretty much a 'dink and dunk' short passer, maybe causes Moss to not wanna run.

I think Brady is a possession passer by scheme and not by choice.  All good QB's love to throw downfield.  I think that you're right about the latter.  I don't think that Moss fits well in a scheme that favors things he's not fond of doing (i.e. crossing routes, fly patterns to clear zones, etc.).  Welker is doing well for exactly these reasons.  He's a possession receiver.  I'd love to see Bess play for the Patriots.  He'd fit perfectly.
