#Packers QB Jordan Love, who the team drafted in the first round, will start against the #Chiefs. Rodgers out with COVID.

Also, Micheal Thomas, who you had on your IR stashed, is out for the season after supposedly picking up another injury...

Yeah my other 2 league's I had Thomas stashed on those teams hoping to break him out for the second half of the season.  Lot of crazy injuries, arrests, sickness, personal leave, etc.  Gonna be survival of the fittest at the end of this season.

That's a shame. We'll never know if Patrick Price or Rodgers Rate is better.

Also this is a bit of a headscratcher:

NFL experts I have a question. The Cardinals was only -2 versus San Francisco and then it became -1 then the game was removed from the sportsbooks. Why did they do this? Have they discovered their mistake and Cardinals should be -7?

In any case, Aaron Rodgers has announced that he will be taking some of his salary in bitcoin through Cashapp. He very clearly is only sponsored by the company similar to Zap and Russell Okung.

It's official, bookies hate Packers. I could understand Cardinals odds but why are Chiefs the favorites now is a mystery to me.

Damn that was way too close. Good game. I'm lucky to win it with so many screw ups - Edmonds/Conner/Pittman/Booker on the bench outperformed my starters, the only good choice I made was to play Goedert instead of Schultz. I did however trick you with Rams D/ST Wink



Haha, I was thinking that but decided to go with the safer D even though I had a gut feeling about the titans that proved correct. Wink

Edit: Looks like I got a Von Miller consolation prize! Cheesy

My condolences to whomever in your guys league has Derrick Henry.  Sitting at my work desk yesterday morning and having breaking news pop up on my screen was like being stabbed in the heart lol.  Okay maybe not that extreme but that's a death blow essentially for someone in a 12 man team.  My team was stacked but a bit short on RBs, now this kills me.  Also lost Calvin Ridley over the weekend and that quite hurts too  Cry

It's fine, just grab Adrian Peterson. At this rate maybe OJ will come back too.



LOL.  Peterson is the second best running back I've ever seen ( behind Barry Sanders ) but I do believe his days are done.  I mean if he had anything left in the tank, I would imagine someone else would have already picked him up.  I am just curious how much action he'll get vs the other running backs already on the team like McNichols.  I guess we shall see.
standings.

AP replacing Henry's stats isn't gonna happen unfortunately.  No one will. 
With that being said giant gut wrencher there last night.  Giants lose by a field goal all the time.  I don't think I can watch another game this year so long as the game is under 7 points.  They need to learn how to start winning close games. 😡

Prior to Monday night, Gore had played five snaps this season and had never registered an NFL carry. Darrel Williams narrowly out-carried Gore 13-11, and it was Gore who found the end zone on a three-yard run in the second quarter

unless Kelce goes the wrong way several times you have won this game.

Looks like the only reasonably close match for today is me vs Heuristic. Fingers crossed that Chiefs collapse again.

Chiefs gotta clean up those turnovers and it starts with the run game, Darrel Williams will get plenty of touches today. 5-3, is still okay?  Grin

Edit 2: did anyone watched the Bengals vs Jets game? how did the Bengals lost that game while playing against a backup QB?
The aforementioned backup QB was throwing AND catching TDs (well, a 2-pointer but still), that's how. Granted I only watched the end of it so I'm an unreliable witness Smiley

Saints (with a backup QB too) were beating Bucs until a safety call was overturned and Brady turned it into 7 points.

Edit: Saints did win after all, so backup QBs are obviously much better than the famous guys. #science
It seems no one has explained those backups how the NFL works, they are supposed to suck so badly that teams have no option but to give QBs mountains of money just to get average performance out of them, if the backups begin to perform well this breaks their monopoly and now they will have to earn it as everyone else. Smiley


I have a theory on this, anyone can be a QB1 when the refs refuse to allow the defense to tackle them.

I highly doubt Williams will put up 16 points but if nothing else we have had a really good match!

GG though, less than 2 pts from Mike Williams who you traded for last week, 0 from E. Sanders, i mean that's tough.
Everyone under-performed except the Kicker however the one that threw a wrench to my plans was Ridley, it seems he is going through some difficult times on his personal life and this was the second time he was out for that reason, this forced me 10 minutes before the game to decide between Sanders and Gordon, I was about to pick Gordon but at the end I decided in favor of Sanders as the Bills were playing against the Dolphins, so it was a mistake on my part, so unless Kelce goes the wrong way several times you have won this game.



I have a really difficult matchup against nutildah in week 9, took a real beating losing by 50pts the last time we squared off, D. Henry went for over 40 in that week, but he might be done for the year:

This is terrible, I really wanted Henry to break Dickerson’s record, Dickerson is really smug about that record when OJ Simpson broke the 2000 yards mark in only 14 games and he needed 16, so if Henry broke it on 17 games Dickerson will have no way to complain as his ‘accomplishment’ was obtained the same way.

Edit: now you have a 40 60 point difference in your favor, it seems you are not going to need Jeudy.

Edit 2: did anyone watched the Bengals vs Jets game? how did the Bengals lost that game while playing against a backup QB?

Burrow threw an interception in their own 20 with less than 5 minutes left in the game while 5 points up. It was some stupid ass screen play, they should have just run it run the clock, horrible call. Aside from that, they were just too cute the entire game, thinking the Jets would beat themselves as they always do. The Bengals were my Week 8 eliminator pick, so i guess that's over now.

There you go, another proof. Also the Seahawks.

Only the Texans failed to take advantage of this new science.
