I'm a bit worried about the Lions, especially with them facing San Fran this weekend. But I'll save my thoughts for the week 2 thread :awe:

I'd be worried too, they were lucky to come out of yesterday with a win. SFran should pwn them

Was TB's defense that fast/good or was Carolina's O-line that bad? Poor Cam.

A little bit of both.

Carolina is that bad and Cam will have a serious sophmore slump of a season.

LOL at all the Fantasy noobs taking Cam in the first round

Yeah I was not very high on Stafford or Newton, was not willing to draft either one of them where they were being drafted. The next tier of Quarterbacks just had a lot to offer and were being taken much later (Romo, Ryan, Peyton Manning, etc...).

RG3 looked great but I am not ready to crown him yet. The Saints pass defense was poor, I want to see him go up against a better defense before I make conclusions

DeAngelo fuck up my fantasy team, i thought the panthers are a good running team.

They usually are, DeAngelo should have a much better game next week against the Saints this weekend. Still, even against a solid defense 6 rushing attempts for -1 yrds is terrible

The Browns Eagles game was brutal, both quarterbacks looked bad. Michael Vick is a shadow of what he was in 2010, Eagles fans should be worried that they barely beat the Brandon Weeden led Browns who gift wrapped 4 interceptions.

And whats up with Trent Richardson, he must still be hurt. 19 carries for 39 yards? Man the Browns offense is looking very bad.

The Browns need to keep stinking it up until my Colts beat them. Then they can win as much as they want.

The Browns defense looked pretty good. A defense that good can carry a team to wins, despite how poor the offense is. If Weeden continues to have sub 10 point QBR games we could see McCoy come back as the starter soon.

didn't he just sign a long term contract with the panthers, as well as John stewart?

In order to pump fake, look defenders off, etc, what is the most important thing to have? If you said "good oline protection," you win a cigar. See Nemesis for your award, but that probably won't be tobacco in it if he gives it to you. :D

Why see me . your transparent as all hell can be. Did you watch the Steelers Vs Denver game . I seen the Big steeler QB using ball fakes all night long under pressure .big pressure . He used his legs arms and mind to deal with the defense the best he could. Luck will be good in a few years . Look at The saints QB. His rookie season sucked bad.

I think he said one time that he was bed ridden and on medications or something (don't quote me on this, it was a while back). If so, I can forgive his often confusing posts... though yeah, sometimes it takes a couple of readings or two to get what he is saying.

Tonight will be the first test of my prediction that the Ravens are headed for a weak year and the Bengals will win the division. I hope I'm wrong.

Apparently I suck at predicting football.

Is ESPN extremely messed up for anyone else right now? Going crazy pixelated, pausing, audio dropping out, etc.
