  1. I will jump in here too, for feedback on my only fantasy team this year, rather than start a new thread. 12 Team League, .5 PPR, short bench (14 roster spots, but 2 IR) Starters T. Taylor D. Johnson L. McCoy F. Gore (flex) B. Marshall K. Benjamin T. Kelce Vinateri Broncos Bench A. Abdullah B. Powell K. Aiken W. Snead M. Bennett
  2. That team rocks, especially your starters!
  3. With Gronk out, how good a game do you think M. Bennett will have? I have Kelce, so I am not playing him, but am trying to trade him to someone with Gronk who cannot pick up another TE since FAs are locked after the week 1 games are over.
  4. My biggest question is Kyle Williams. If Kyle is back to his old form (and can stay healthy) our defense may be very good. If Kyle appears to be in decline, the Bills will struggle, especially while Dareus is out. I want to see if the defense is in synch and fluidly playing Ryan's scheme. I saw signs this preseason, but it is hard to say with all of the absences. Last year's sack total (21) was pitiful for the talent on the team.
  5. Hey, heads-up: I predicted a 6 yard pass from Tyrod to Woods earlier in this thread.
  6. Good post. It looks like we are going to see a lot of our offensive snaps with someone unproven on the field. Tyrod O-Line Clay McCoy Watkins Woods Goodwin This looks to be the best grouping to me, with Bush or Dray added in place of Goodwin based on situation.
  7. My bold prediction: Gronk gets cut too.
  8. Tomorrow. By 4 pm Eastern, I believe. Jace Amaro? http://nypost.com/2016/09/02/was-this-the-end-of-jace-amaros-career-as-a-jet/
  9. I'd think they would keep Albright (or Lattimore?) and cut O'Leary and/or Gronkowski.
  10. I think the no TD call was the right one. Certainly it was consistent with how they have been calling them. (Though I think control + 2 feet should equal a TD, regardless of what happens after.) I liked them going back to Little right after that and that it worked the next time. I just looked up the play-by-play and you are right, it isn't as bad as I remembered. I thought there were more incompletions to him, and overall I am not impressed with his awareness / control / concentration / hands. Last night was a probably a positive for his standings; he can't help that he wasn't in with the ones. At his skill level though, I would rather keep a developing WR or specialist over him unless it looks like he is finding new life.
  11. I thought Albright really helped himself, looking like one of the best player on the field when he played. He looks like a great developmental backup. For the first time in a long time I am very happy with our QBs. EJ is definitely maturing, and seems to have lost his panic. Cardale could be really good with a couple years coaching and experience. I did not think Little really helped himself. He should be able to run with the #1s and just looks outmatched and inconsistent at that level. And I don't think it is likely he continues to develop (much). He is on the bubble for me as I look for last cuts to draw up a roster of 53. Carpenter can boom kick-offs. I think the issue is the wear on his leg and his ability to stay solid for the long haul so he can do both later in the season. Also, Douzable did not look very good to me, ending up on the ground a lot.
  12. I am seeing the same thing. He will be flying around the field in no time: http://tinyurl.com/27f57
  13. You're right. I was thinking it was sitting there next to the table.
  14. I agree, the first part is guessing and reading the celebrities. For instance he pretty clearly was giving the shirt to Simon before he saw that there wasn't enough reaction. For the second part, I thought it through and decided he knew he was going to write "No," and must have used that time, his only time holding the pen, to draw the other pictures which he slipped into the bag at the end. The only problem is it sure looks like drew the word No, and he didn't keep anything in his hands to later slip into the bag. Evaluation: true magic!
  15. Jon Dorenbos: NFL Magician Makes Stunning Artistic Predictions - America's Got Talent 2016 The quarter-finals He is good!
  16. I think this is a big role for Barristan the Bold in the books, and a major influence on Dany. I understand she might not fully trust Tyrion, but when Barristan agrees, his council has that much more weight.
  17. Have you guys seen this great interactive GOT map? http://quartermaester.info/ You can choose characters and how far through the show or books you are, and it will show you their travels on the map. It looks like they added Season 6 in the last few days.
  18. I just don't see it. They grew up as (half) siblings and John is now recognized as having Stark blood, albeit as a bastard. Sure the Targaryens married within their family, but that seems to be contemptible across Westeros, and wouldn't strengthen their claim/hold on the throne. Thinking along those lines, if he did go that direction, Arya is a better fit, but as problematic and unattractive a prospect. Marrying a surviving Tyrell, or another woman from a strong house makes the most sense. I just can't think of any characters we have seen (beyond say Brienne) that might be options. Maybe the answer is Dany after all.... Sansa and Podrick seem like a great match. She deserves a good husband!
  19. I believe Dany has loyalty to her family, and that is her main motivation. She wants to rule because her family did, and lost so much due to the usurpers. She is torn, because her nature is to protect her family. But she feels that kinship with her people, especially her close advisors (Grey Worm, Messande etc.), and has a hard time losing anyone to the tasks she needs to ask of them to retain and grow her rule. I think Dany would be greatly relieved to learn she isn't the last Targaryen, especially since she is barren. This last point is a reason John and Dany will not get together in the end. So who is a good match for John to carry on the Targaryen legacy, regardless of his last name? My guess is the show ends with a baby being born, and a bit of green springing forth from the snow. . . .
  20. Fred Jackson Steve Tasker Pat Williams Sam Cowart Kyle Williams Antoine Winfield Andre Reed Thurmon Thomas Terrence McGee - as a returner Kent Hull Jim Kelly Bruce Smith - on field Henry Jones I didn't watch OJ enough (born in 1969) I decided I would try a Top 10, but it was too hard. Tomorrow I know I will reflect on my list and kick myself for forgetting someone that brought me years of enjoyment. Honorable mention: Jason Peters. I watched his ascent closely, and appreciated every minute. Watching him on special teams early in his career was a real treat. I remember watching an offseason video of him working one on one against Schoebel where I knew he was the real thing and was going to make it big. Unfortunately what came later pulled him off of my list. His exit really tainted my view of him
  21. OMG - they didn't mention an contract extension for Ghost. Noooooo!
