And that's me off to bed. Ravens win 44-13. Very good performance- especially on offence- and Flacco in particular was shit hot (never thought I'd write that last part!).

 

Roll on next week against Philadelphia.

 

Flacco could have a huge season. He's flattered to deceive before but they're obviously wanting to reduce Rice's touches and with Torrey Smith, he'll be airing it out most weeks.

That is all.

Already is, like. No doubt Neko will be along to neg me for it shortly though.

As long as our o-line protects him he'll have a tremendous year. Thrives in the no huddle and he finally has a receiving core with plenty of depth and quality.

 

Bet Joe Linta is buzzing that he didn't negotiate a new contract in the off-season.

[Lee909]

Three way shot out in the AFC for me.

Texans,Pats and Ravens.Will depend on injuries who wins the conference.

I'm worried about the Saints.So much money is being spent on Drew that it's going to be hard building around him and keeping him safe.

Can't neg anymore, but I can still hate you.

 

Just kidding - even I have to grudgingly admit that he looks pretty special.

 

Early days though - the Saints defence did not look quite right to me.

[Woo]

Agree about the BBC coverage being incredibly shoddy, too. Just gonna carry on getting US streams, I think.

 

As for fantasy football, I was a Phil Rivers TD pass away from pulling off a momentous comback. Boldin got me 12.6 points, Justin Tucker (who, might I add, I got with my last pick in 2 of my 3 leagues) got me a whopping 15 points, and I ended up just over 4 points short. He overthrew a few passes in the redzone and there was one in the first quarter that Gates should have hauled in. Fuck you, Rivers!

Haha, yeah the kid has talent.

That play, more than anything I saw on Sunday, just highlights the elusiveness and arm strength/accuracy of the lad.

 

I'm still thinking we'll be round 500 come seasons end as we've got enough issues that we need to work at but we got everything right on Sunday. That ain't gonna happen every week. Positive as fuck about the future but we, just like Bobby Griff, are still very much on a learning curve.

Most underrated player from the redskins is London Fletcher IMO.

The man is still a beast,that grab in Sproles showed how quick the man still is.

Great player.

He is staggeringly underrated outside of Washington. Proper baffles me that. Undrafted pick up by the Rams in '98 and he hasn't missed a game! He was 37 in the summer but last season lead the league in tackles. Absolute beast.

I dont know how i won that either, when i saw the totals for Boldin and the kicker i thought id had it. The Raiders defence did a decent job seeing as their game was all over the place, you have to feel for the replacement long snapper who had an absolute mare.

On a side note Boldins touchdown should have been chalked off according to the expert in the comms box.

Flacco is available for the right deal....... :yes:

[RedKnight]

Top scorer in the league for week one. Well pleased.

[Skidfingers McGonical]

 

It won't be that way this season.

 

Lot's of excitement ahead for you guys and out of the NFC East I'd rather see you guys win than NYG' date=' NYG, or especially the cowboys...

 

RGIII looked great against us. I was telling "Like it Is" this just last night but since I've been watching the NFL he's probably the most composed Rookie QB I've ever seen. Now the Skins offense looked way different and teams will play him better once they have tape on him but if his attitude and work ethic are right he'll be great QB for years to come.

 

Regarding your D, they were excellent most of the game but Haslett always seems to do well against the more high-powered offenses. It's the grind it out offenses that he had trouble with when he was our HC. I did notice him going into prevent at the end there, but RGIII had taken too much time off the clock for the Saints to be able to get where we needed to and have a chance to tie the game that isn't the Hailmary prayer toss.[/quote']

 

I wish I could understand all of that. Shame as I really want to. Rep coming your way.

 

Makes me more determined to get back into it.

 

 

That is all.

Well I like it.

Noted that for next week.

Not too confident in my Stranglers getting up in that one.

[KinskiRage]

I'll have to have a look at that trade offer.

I'll get back to you.

 

Any interest in this, or any variation of it?

[Carvalho Diablo]

Saw this...

 

 

Douchebaggery.

[dave u]

That's class, I love it! Where would you get a black and gold Boba Fett outfit though? Only in America.

[RedKnight]

He's probably spray painted it himself. Which is a whole other level of dedication.

[Lee909]

That is class,had the helmet as my avatar a couple of months back.

 

Goodell is a prick,that's all

[KinskiRage]

Dunno if anyone seen this. It doesn't fill me with confidence as a Cam owner.

 

Now I'm no blocking expert but I don't think this play went to plan for the Panthers.

 

 

Might be an idea to protect that guy, maybe, possibly...

[Malarkey]

3 points:

 

1) The most storied franchise in TLW fantasy history have lost their opener for the third season running.

 

2) Im stacked at WR. Someone make me an offer. After a decent RB.

 

3) If the Ravens get past the conference playoffs I'll eat my own arse hair in a tortilla wrap.

 

Steeler nation.

[Lee909]

Superb

Fake FG run in from Green Bay from nearly 30 yards

Does the D/ST unit for Green Bay get the points for that? Could be a decent fantasy score to have there. Not looking good for me and Brandon Marshall in the first half.

[Lee909]

Not sure about the scoring

 

Marshal with a easy drop,I have him in a couple of leagues,not too happy with that.

Bears look a mess,can't stop the rush(what's new).
