I'm about to go out of the fantasy playoffs unless Sidney Rice can outscore Adrian Peterson + Bernard Berrian.

Jarrett Bush should not be an NFL player.

You have done a Patriots special

Remember 13-2 doesnt mean anything when the second game is your last

Seriously though Aaron Rodgers 43 points You just cant compete with that unlucky

Good luck to the 2 finalists in the Fantasy Comp

The Chargers are one win away from the no 2 seed in the AFC. If you'd have told me that after the defeat to Denver I'd of laughed in your face! Now look at us. 9 straight, close to a 1st round bye and Norv calling games absolutley perfectly! I am praying for an AFC championship game @ Indy. That would be amazing!

I still think if we get the number 1 pick (which is looking likely after last night) we go Suh. He's looking like one of those players you don't pass up on regardless of need (and defensive tackle is a definite need). We 've generated little to no pressure on the defensive line and that affects the whole defense. Suh will give us a chance to improve a unit that has showed a lot of promise this season despite our record.

Offensively we've been anaemic this season but we're playing players who were on the practice squad at the beginning of the season on both sides of the ball. I just get the feeling that picking Clausen at #1 would be one of those decisions that comes back to bite us

I agree with you in general. Suh is dominant, i think he could be the next Warren Sapp type dominant player and that is who i'd take, but i just don't see it. Your a Rams fan so maybe you know more, but i just get the feeling you'll go in a new direction and go Clausen and not spend it on a 3rd lineman in 3 years. Kind of like the Lions. QB wasn't the biggest need, but it signifies change.

As for us, assuming we are picking in the late 20's i think we go Offensive Line first, there are a couple of guys who i like, particularly Bulaga who hopefully would fall to us. Other than that i want Toby Gerhart to be our RB, hopefully we can get him in the 2nd or 3rd.

As long as Nicks gets less than 33 points Im in the final of the Fantasy League. Its been fun, hope we do it again next year

Well done to everyone and good luck No good, wide right next week

Re: NFL Chat 2 : Mon Dec 21, 2009 3:18 pm  

Despite dropping Manning and Mendenhall, having Stewart on my bench as well who got more points than both my running backs. I'm still in the lead! Only by 5 points though and he has two players to come. What's the chances of Nicks and the Giants kicker not getting 5 points between them?

Oh, I'm not saying I'm right, we could easily go for either player and I wouldn't be surprised. As I've mentioned previously, over the last 10 years we've picked up defensive tackles in the first round almost as frequently as Detroit have picked wide receivers and most of them didn't work out and a question mark over Carriker still, so we might see a change with the QB pick.

I've not seen enough of Clausen to warrant saying we shouldn't pick him but I've not been over-awed by what I have seen and I can't help but think that some of his hype may be a product of the national wank off that half of America has over Notre Dame.

Free agency will obviously change draft boards too but it's going to be another big off season.

Was confused as to why Offiah is on 5 but then all became clear with his book.

So who will we take at #1? I know very little about the college game, just what you fellas say. Apparently the QB class is weak and some guy called Suh is a bit special? Where do you guys get all this college knowledge?

If you want to keep up with the college game you should get ESPN America on sky.
