Board 8 > NFL Discussion topic week 10

(+) Yeah! (+)

There's a game and things are happening
---

Vikings cut Safety Sendejo (more violence, I like hurting my own teammates!) for a 4th round compensatory pick back

Vikings sign Sendejo

Vikings cut rookie Safety Marcus Epps, who was a 6th round pick

Eagles sign Epps

Weird
---

I have watched many football games in my time, and this is one of them.

Vikings cut and sign Sendejo, eh
---

This looks headed for 35-10 Chargers unless they throw more picks

Make that 49-10
---

no players in fantasy so I don't have to care about this game
---

That was hilariously incompetent defense that entire drive by the Raiders

Negative yards on 1st down, penalty by the Raiders immediately after.

This happened five times!
---

Not one of those throws by Rivers was anywhere near accurate on that final drive
---

Very tossup game. Could've gone either way easily. Raiders have an outside shot at making the playoffs. Their next two games are Jets and Bengals. All depends on if one of the other teams get their act together for the 6 seed, and if the Raiders can continue to play well at home. (They should get a win against the Bengals and Jets in the next two weeks)
---

Can't believe they didn't use a single timeout and forced it deep every play on that last drive...wtf was that

Before last week, I had offered Jacobs and Melvin Gordon for Barkley and was rejected. It's a keeper league, so the person was really weighing Barkley vs Jacobs (he's mostly out of the playoffs). My RBs are pretty sweet right now - Jacobs, Zeke and Coleman. Gordon was a waiver wire pickup (someone dropped him, just crazy) so I'm thinking going forward I should shop Coleman.

happy with that last minute Jacobs TD run last night. I had Gordon on the bench :(
---

I'm very glad I was busy and couldn't watch that game last night, but I did pick the Raiders so that's cool
---

Imagine starting Tyrell Williams in fantasy

Then be glad you're only imagining having done so, instead of actually having done so.

I had to start Mike Williams because of byes and that didn't go so well
---

yeah I started T Williams. kind of a bummer, but the other option is Allen Robinson and I overreacted to last week
---

Redskins choosing not to pay Trent Williams any of his remaining salary

which is technically within their right but still a scumbag move since most teams will at least pay players on the non-football injury list a percentage of their total salary
---

Wow I've never heard of the Redskins being scummy
---

Especially compared to the colts who chose to give andrew luck ALL of his remaining salary iirc when they didn't have to.
---

Doesn't just seem scummy, seems stupid. If I'm a Free Agent I'd be writing the Redskins off as a destination. Or at the very least expect WAY more money.

They didn't have to give him at least a significant amount of it.

Washington and the Jets are both making themselves look awful this year in how they've treated a player.

Two 1-7 teams that deserve what they get.

This is a recipe for overpaying mediocre talent who's more interested in chasing the money than anything else.

football

So that Marcus Peters trade is looking nothing less than amazing right now
---

Giants screwed by the refs on the 2-pt. conversion, then miss the extra point.

Lamar Jackson's only incompletion against Cinci so far was a spiked ball at the end of the first half.

Edit: just threw his first real incompletion on a 25-yard pass Andrews almost caught for a TD.

Jackson had the most Madden-Style ankle breaking spin moves I've ever seen for a 40 some yard TD

Even if I wasn't a Ravens fan I'd be impressed by this dude
---

Yeah, at first I thought he should have handed it off to Ingram, then he juked a defender and followed that up by taking 3 defenders out with a spin move and ran the rest of the way for a TD.

Just look at that.

spoilers RG3 still trash

I really miss watching prime Vick and honestly Lamar is shaping up to be even better all things considered, its fantastic

I think the Saints spent the bye week planning the parade

I was about to ask "Can anyone explain why the Saints are being destroyed"

how do you even stop Lamar Jackson without putting a bounty on him
---

Of all the intimidating receivers corps you could face, this week I was facing this. Christian Kirk, Golden Tate, Mark Andrews and Kyler Murray QB. I thought that was basically one of the weakest groups in the league and a surefire win.

Murray - 322 Passing, 38 Rushing, 3 TDs
Kirk - 6 Rec, 138 Yards, 3 TDS
Tate - 4 Rec, 89 Yards, 2 TDs
Andrews - 6 Rec, 53 Yards, 2 TDs

It has not ended well for me.

If only the Chiefs had a real QB like Ryan Tannehill.

Nice of Vrabel to do the Pats a solid by making that 1 seed that much more attainable.
---

ya go my Titans
---

Lamar Jackson is the AFC's only hope to save us all from Tom Brady.

Him or the Pats OL, either can do it.
---

What a classic DFF loss
---

This feels like a great week to hop back onto the "everyone is bad" narrative, other than the Ravens.
---

Man, no one watched much football this weekend huh
---

I went into OT up 7 against Wilson. I am destined to lose this week.
---

What a finish

Lost by 1 because they handed off to Mostert in OT instead of Coleman fml
---

Thanks to the niners running 0 time off the clock on their last drive, the seahawks used carson for two more plays allowing me to tie (and win cause of tiebreaker) my fantasy match oh yea
---

I ended up winning, and now I'm 7-3 after starting 2-3 with what is certainly the worst 7-3 team of all time.

I lost by 0.36. Needed 19.5 from Carson in full PPR and just barely did not get it. Pretty much the end of the year for me in that league, too.

Game's hard etc

Lost my first game, won the next two, lost the next four, and I have now won the past three. I still sit in 8th. I had a crazy win streak to end the season last year to squeak into the playoffs and will likely have to do so again this season.
---

I'm in a 3-way tie for first at 7-3. Best fantasy regular season I've had in years. I've had very good injury luck this year with my high draft picks.
