I know we've been making fun of how unwatchable these last few Thursday games have been, but this one tonight is easily the worst of them all.

I only remembered to make the topic because I seen that Nick Mullens will be the starting QB for the 49ers tonight, so there's that.

this is the worst combined winning percentage of two teams for a primetime game Week 8 or later since the merger

Bethard got cleared, so it's strange that Mullens is starting

I hear that Kittle guy is pretty good though

Also you may be a poor fool desperate enough to roll out Doug Martin this week

Kittle is literally the #4 TE in standard going into this week, and Ebron figures to drop like a rock with Doyle back (Effectively making him top 3).

I like how I basically quoted KCF before reading his post

I'll watch hockey and then the 4th if it's a game probably.

Honestly my confidence in Oakland winning actually dropped because chances are a total unknown is no worse than Beathard or possibly better than him.

The spread swung by 4 points but SF had no business being favored to begin with.

Kind of my same thinking. Dude has just as much chance to be better or equal to beatheard and raiders are imploding.

Alternatively they just run the Raiders into the ground because of having no confidence in their QB. Raiders do have one of the worst Run D's in the league

I'm starting Doug Martin in three leagues unrelated to byes or injuries.

Didn't see that one coming. Fantasy is weird sometimes.

Edit: oh wait make that 2 leagues.

eh he looked average at best before he got hurt

threw 3 picks against an actual D and was frustrated by the Chiefs that he had to play recklessly and got hurt

How must it feel to have nearly the worst record in football and get -spanked- by the team tied for the literal worst record in football?

Not like you just got beat...but obliterated. Embarrassed. Shut down. Dominated.

Good luck, Gruden!

fun fact i just found: the Bills have had more QBs on their roster this season than TD passes

and if you count McCarron and Pryor, it's twice as many QBs as TD passes

the only reason that makes sense to me would be that they want to tank. i couldn't believe it when i saw that.

but i definitely don't think a couple higher draft spots is worth ruining your reputation like that

Not that it would change things much, but are we talking about Hue Jackson as a head coach overall or solely for the Browns?

it actually does indeed include that 8-8 season with the Raiders

so it'd require more losing just using his tenure with the Browns

It's nice to see a team like the Patriots finally get some recognition.

Trade I just got offered:

His:
Trey Burton
Dede Westbrook
Le'Veon Bell

My:
Nick Chubb
Amari Cooper

Ebron is my TE, but with Doyle back, it's only a matter of time before he becomes irrelevant. I have more than enough WR so Cooper is expendable. The only thing is I don't think I can wait for Bell. My RB have been a bust for me this year so Chubb is essentially my RB1. I do have Dalvin Cook on my bench but I'm not sure I can ever trust him again.

This would go through for next week if that makes a difference.

Respond by offering your kicker for their RB1. That trade is pretty fucking insulting imo, even considering your TE need.

also I'm making the mistake of messing with my lineup sunday morning again...

I have to bench one of Conner (@BAL), White (vs GB) and Peterson (vs ATL). It was White on the bench when I went to bed last night, and I keep switching them around now because I don't actually know what to do

(Last time I did this a couple weeks ago, I wound up putting McCoy in over Peterson and he got injured on the second play of the game. And no other time this season has it paid out when I've done it, even if I wound up settling on my original configuration)

Peterson would be my confirmed start of the 3. If Michel doesn't play (and it's looking extremely questionable at this point), White is likely to have a great week.

Conner likely has the highest ceiling of the 3, but a divisional matchup against a solid Ravens D would have me second guessing here. Sitting Conner and him having a fantastic game would make me pretty upset, though.

This is exactly why I'm considering benching him. The problem here is that the Steelers have clearly learned to utilize him, which they didn't last time we saw this matchup.

Trying to play White if Michel doesn't play and Conner if he does is something I'd like to go for, but I don't think Belicheck will give us that information before the noon games kick off. I think I just roll Peterson/White here and feel bad if something wrong
