  1. That was a very nice article.

     

    I am glad he indicated what happened with Whaley. In my mind, that was him saying "water under the bridge" and showing he understood how the business side worked. It also highlights Fred's determination. Part of me thinks he could have willed himself to play through a hamstring injury and make the team, if that is what it would have taken.

  2. great question considering the Browns are being investigated by the NFL for listing Haden as probable and then shelving him. So I would say Goodwin being inactive is highly unlikely. They also need Gragg.

    He could be a healthy scratch. That has nothing to do with the injury report.

  3. Carpenter has missed a total of two FGs this season, one of which was 54 yards in a blowout win (against the Dolphins).

     

    He is a bit hurt, and has a young baby in the house. The Bills needs to support him and stick by him, unless the wheels completely come off. I think he will be fine in the long run.

  4. Keenan Allen is just one of those guys who I could never justify sitting. He is tearing it up this year.

    I know. all the FF advice I have seen says to play him. I just feel like Joe Haden is going to shut him down. Haden was hurt and the Browns gave up a ton of yards in last week's game. He sounds healthy and determined going into this week's game against the Chargers where Allen is the clear #1 WR.

     

    And it looks like 3 of the Chargers' starting O-line will be out....

  5. I'm starting Harvin this week over Jeremy Maclin. He will continue to be targeted a lot...especially with SW on the mend. If given the choice of the two to drop I would say John Brown although their '15 stats are almost identical.

    I am on the fence. I have a number of midling WRs:

    Maclin

    Harvin

    Pierre Garcon

    Keenan Allen

    Golden Tate

     

    I am starting Clay at TE, K Williams, and Bills defense, so that is keeping me from starting Harvin.

    Right now I am leaning toward starting Maclin and Garcon. The league is .5 PPR. Everyone has Keenan Allen ranked higher, but I just don't see him putting up good numbers against Joe Haden this week.

  6.  

    Today the NFL filed its notice of appeal. Once the Second Circuit recieves the full record in the case, the NFL has 14 days to request a date for filing its initial brief -- up to 91days. After the NFL files its initial brief, the NFLPA requests the date for its reply brief, again up to 91 days. Then the NFL has 14 days to file a reply brief. Once the case is fully briefed, the Second Circuit will schedule it for oral argument. It could easily take a few months before the argument is heard (I looked and the calendar is already full through early November). After oral argument, the judges will probably take a few months to conference and prepare their decison(s). Then either party could seek rehearing.

     

    TMI? Bottom line: there will almost certainly be a new Super Bowl champ before there is a final decision from the Second Circuit.

    Thanks for those details!
