Geoff Grace Posted September 5, 2019 Author Share Posted September 5, 2019 Just in case anyone missed the link in the KC Fantasy Football League 2019 thread, here's the Pick'em info: I forgot to light the Pick 'em up! I did it now, though... Here's the link Password: Oberheim All are welcome, of course! dB Get your picks in for tonight's game ASAP!

Geoff Grace Posted September 6, 2019 Author Share Posted September 6, 2019 Great defensive contest tonight. It's early yet, but Green Bay's defense shows promise for the first time in a long while. My congrats to Chicago's defense for keeping the Packers' offense in negative yards for the first quarter. The Monsters of the Midway are tough!

ProfD Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 The Packers defense played extremely well last night. Hope Mike Pettine can keep them playing at that level or higher. Old man Rodgers still knows how to exploit a defense. His offensive line held up relatively well under pressure. They survived the Bears defense. Trubisky needs a lot of help from whoever is going to emerge as Bears playmakers. No shortage of talent. They need to find a sheet of music from which they can all sing. First game of the season was a good one. I enjoyed the low scoring defensive battle is just as exciting as a barn burner.

ProfD Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 It will be interesting to see whether or not AB fits into the Pats system. Chad Johnson comes to mind.

CEB Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 There is no real 'Patriots system". That is what is cool about the Hoodie and his crew.

Dave Bryce Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Pats probably advised AB on how to get released. I don"t think he needed the counseling. He seems to have had it down when he was in Pittsburgh. Amazing how quickly he went from being revered as one of the best to being regarded as one of the NFL"s all time asshats. I despise the message this sends - all you need to do to get your way and be paid millions is throw a series of temper tantrums and make yourself incredibly unpleasant to be around. Man, I"m glad I"m done raising kids. It"s interesting that the news media seemed to know he"d end up on NE a few days ago. Regardless, I am way ready for some football. dB Quote ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was hoping no other team would touch him despite his talent on the field. I knew he would not be unemployed for too long. Still surprised that the Patriots picked him up. Nonetheless, I'm ready for some football too. Let's get it started. Quote PD "The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love and be loved in return."--E.

ProfD Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Well, week 2 had some great games despite my team's loss. I want the GM, HC and DC fired immediately. But, I thoroughly enjoyed watching the KC Chiefs go to work. Their OC is worth every dime he gets. Key injuries could change the fortunes of a contender (Saints) but I still say league parity is great. Makes the games worth watching. To that end, I'll be tuned in for Monday night matchup of the Browns vs Jets. Quote PD "The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love and be loved in return."--E.

Geoff Grace Posted September 16, 2019 Author Share Posted September 16, 2019 Well, I didn't get to watch the Packers/Vikings game, but I did get to see Clay Matthews sack Teddy Bridgewater; so that was a nice consolation. Sorry that Drew Brees had to get injured for me to see the Matthews sack of Bridgewater, though. I hope he mends quickly.

MikeT156 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 By now everyone knows that Big Ben is out for the season with a non impact elbow injury. He recently signed an extension for 2 more years. He has guaranteed money of 30 million for the next 2 years. That puts a substantial hit on the Steelers Salary Cap. Taking his place is Mason Rudolf who stepped in an played well when Ben left the field. He had two TD's and one pick that bounced off the hands of a butter fingers Receiver that has since been benched. The Steelers are in deep doo-doo. Mike T.

antimatter Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 The season of 2019 (2 games in!) is going to be one to remember. Luck retires, AB saga, Brees hurt, Cam hurt, Roethlisberger out for the season, Eli benched and done in NY, 2 games with 20+ point spreads in a week, the Miami purge and tank, trades...

Geoff Grace Posted September 19, 2019 Author Share Posted September 19, 2019 No doubt, antimatter, there's a lot of change happening right now. Adam Vinatieri may be finally at the end of his illustrious career as well. The Colts are auditioning kickers after a bad start to his season.

Bill H. Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 From Spotrac: For now Antonio Brown leaves behind dead cap hits of $5.5M in 2019 & $4.5M in 2020 with the #Patriots, though it"s likely all but the $153,920 he earned in two weeks will be credited back next year. AB now accounts for a combined $26.6M of 2019 dead cap w/ the #Steelers & Pats. I never understood how the Pats (with less than $5m in cap space) pulled this off in the first place, but even with AB's release there's still a price to be paid.
