NFL: NFL Week 8 Discussion Thread

[Mr Janny]

Baltimore getting exposed. Rams hanging tough. Harrison Smith playing up to his draft position. Drew Brees with a monster first half

 

[Mr Janny]

...so much for the Rams hanging tough

Good week to give Chris Johnson another chance.

Is Kevin Kolb hurt?

 

[Mr Janny]

I'm pretty happy that I started Drew Brees in my league. Almost 40 fantasy points in the first half

 

[Mr Janny]

he got hurt last week. that awful injury described as having his ribs separated from his sternum.

Wow. I missed that entirely. Ouch.

Was it even a choice? He is ranked number one in almost every league. I can't imagine your back up is even close.

I started RG3 over Brees because he is the No. 1 scorer in almost every league.

not this week it wasn't close. my backup is Peyton Manning. After last week's game against the chargers, I thought I might have a qb controversy on my team. not so much.

Doesn't sound any better here:

Kevin Kolb expected to miss several weeks, putting John Skelton on fantasy radar - SBNation.com

"several ribs detached"

yeah, I wasn't even sure ribs could do that.

I knew that they could, but I think it's supposed to take a freakish amount of force to do it. That's assuming that I remember correctly.

:swoon:

 

[cyguytillidie]

Happy to have CJ2K and Vincent Jackson in my starting lineup this week. :smile:

The Vikings have their patented prevent offense in mid season form.

 

[VikesFan22]

5-2! Offense started to suck it up as the game went on which worried me, but we got the W. Harrison Smith had a great game.

I'm surprised the Ravens lost as badly as they did. I know the Texans are good but still.

 

[Cyclones_R_GR8]

I'm obviously happy the Vikings won but 58 yards of offense in the 2nd half just can't continue. The 2 picks by Ponder were dreadfully poor decisions.

Absolutely. He's gotta be better about throwing it away. He's great at avoiding pressure in the pocket, but then he offsets it by throwing bad balls.
