Yeah, Luck blew the Philly game Foles was another guy I'm not sold on Luck blew the Philly game? His INT was due to a missed \holding call that ended up with his receiver falling to the ground as he released the pass. The Colts aren't going anywhere if they don't figure out a way to create a pass rush of some sort. Maybe they can trade another 1st round pick for an underperforming pass rusher that is no longer wanted by his team. That Trent Richardson trade is really paying off for them, lol. I was way wrong on that trade. |

On the topic of scoring/settings for next season:
I am fine with PPR, no PPR, or half PPR to compromise. Conceptually, the 0 yard catch for a point is silly, but I enjoy how it makes more players viable.
I dig the deep bench, but now looking at the rosters it's kind of weird to have a bench as deep as the starting lineup, with only ten teams. Lots of really good players sitting on the bench for our teams. Would like to see 1 or more starting roster spots added next year, or more participants to make it a 12 or 14 teamer.

I just let the league evolve and ended with 10. I certainly would like 12 next year. Re: bench players -if there was ever a year where a decent bench has value it's this year given suspensions and injuries to high profile players. Not to mention we haven't hit bye weeks and when coupled with injuries/suspensions, our deep benches aren't so deep. And it's challenging deciding on lineups. Much easier setting lineups with bigger leagues and weaker benches. I'm ok with it. I as well have played and currently do play in both ppr and standard. Personally I seem to have around equal success/failure in both. It's just different. But I think there should be no question as to a reception having value. Very good players get 80 catches in a season which is 5 catches/ffb points per game. So anyone comparing it to handoffs or pass attempts is absurd as the good one's rush/attempt 3-400 times per year. It just adds a new dimension. But ask the guys that catch a lot of those short passes if they're not worth a ffb point. lol Most of them have concussions so answers may vary. Not so easy opening your ribs up for a 2 yard slant. You're doing well in the league Havok. I'm worried about you. |

Havok is fine. He does have Gordon coming back theoretically after 10wks.
Fish, definitely some viable rookie WRs this season. I still had faith in Sammy regardless of EJ Manuel throwing him the ball but only because I had my eye on him before Clemson lol. Their coach begged to move up and grab Sammy so they'd be stupid not to use the weapon after he got his feet wet first game.
Julio I love. I have him and Matty Ice as a qb wr combo in another league. Feeling good there. A full healthy season from Julio would be sweet. Best WR in the game conversation.

Yeah, Luck blew the Philly game Foles was another guy I'm not sold on He's in a great system. Really noticed last game he's really not connecting on the deep ball. Missed many opportunities. That being said, when you can throw the ball to Sproles, McCoy, etc... and let them do their thing, you're gonna have some decent stats. Decent stats sure but he already has like twice as many TOs as last year |

I was way wrong on that trade. Yes he blew it and couldn't hold onto the lead Can't trust his decision making so they ran the ball. Then must pass situations and he turns the ball over. He makes a lot of bad decisions. Remember this is the guy with 7 Interceptions last playoffs and like 10 for his career in 3 games |

As far as best in game? CJ is the best wr I've ever seen play this game. He's in a class all by himself and in his prime. The next tier is pretty damn good though: Julio, AJ, Gordon, Antonio, Thomas and Bryant. Just my view. |

Past mistakes in playoff games have nothing to do with it. He is also not the offensive coordinator and not playing on defense. It isn't his fault his teammates couldn't handle either of the Eagles' RBs. |

Antonio is in that tier? 110 receptions, 8 td's and 1,500 yards would say yes in my book. That's elite. |

Their D-line is certainly a problem. Can't generate a pass rush at all. They may look good this week against JAX, but JAX just gave up what, 10 sacks last week? If they don't get some sacks this week, they need to seriously consider making some moves. |

D-line is worse than o-line. Both are not good. |

I'd just ALSO add another starting position or two so we can use those bench players in the starting lineup. |

Well, you certainly have a healthy head start after tonight. I have Julio in another league, so I guess it's only fair I have to go against him in this one. Julio is a beast. If he can stay healthy. Big fan though. Long way to go yet but I'm doing ok do far. I'm sure you'll make it interesting. No-shows from Brandon Marshall and Keenan Allen killed me. Congrats on the win. |

Congrats on the win. Thanks Shop. I have Marshall in another league and fortunately I had enough without him. I haven't been a big Keenan guy this year. To many other options for Rivers. |
