Edelman's gone. Amendola with a bum knee, who knows when he'll back, let alone healthy. Gronk looked like he wasn't returning any time soon. Dion's out. Their offense is decimated. The two Brandons are their biggest threats now.Leisher wrote:Patriots go down!

My bench in the cash league got destroyed this week:
Bradshaw ... gone for season
Jimmy Graham ... gone for season
Ryan Mathews ... still not progressing through concussion protocol
Karlos Williams ... shoulder injury, might not be ready this week
This leaves my bench with 2 healthy Wilsons in Russell and Marquess. Running with 2 RBs/WRs/TEs the rest of the way unless they get hurt. Have to shop for a new D, too. Russell has nice weeks in 14 and 15, and Fitzpatrick complements him with good matchups in during other weeks. I got $20-something left in free agent money. If I get past the first round of the postseason, it'll be impressive. Two weeks would be a miracle.

Random thoughts on tonight's game, these are kind of Wasteland, OH-related, so I guess they're indirectly directed at Stranger:
1) I saw a banner in Cleveland (aka Wasteland, OH) during the Ravens game that read, "We still have LeBron." Stranger, tell the fans that Baltimore doesn't have a team in the NBA and hasn't had a thugball franchise since 1954.
2) Dwayne Bowe has $9M guaranteed in his contract. It was probably written and signed by the same genius that gave a Real World, NFL: Cleveland cast member a guaranteed $8M over 4 years. Anyhow, the Mythbusters wrapped up their last season and they probably want shit to do. I bet they can design and build a robot that can:
i) run all the signature Bowe plays: incorrect routes, routes where he'll never be open, erratic routes, routes directly into coverage, and finally routes that take so long to execute the QB gets sacked
ii) drop passes even if it's wide open
iii) come in under $9M
You should hit them up on Twitter or Facebook or something.

PS - Redskins are currently the NFC East leader. Chew on that.
Worst division in football. You could argue for the AFC South, but there are signs of life there.
And fucking Cleveland. Just wow. If it wasn't for bad luck, they'd have no luck. Best sign of the night: "Hey Baltimore, why don't you take this team too?"

First, Johnny Drunkard loses his starting gig to McCown. Now he's got a chance to lose the job again to a completely different dude. In a comedic twist, the other Cleveland drunk, Josh Gordon, is tweeting his support for Tipsy McStagger the QB.

Because it's Cleveland, refs missed offsides that would have brought back the "kick six".

Horseshit. I think offsides is called less than holding. I see it all the time and I don't go by the black line on TV. I go by the yardage. Guys routinely line up offsides and it never gets called.

Crew from last week's SF-ARI game is transferred.
McCown is out for the season. Austin Davis or Johnny Broziel?

Gronk says he's being unfairly targeted for OPI calls. Wtf-ever. The Pats play that fucking victim card an awful lot.

Fucking cash league went nuclear last night and this morning due to trade controversy right before the deadline. One motherfucker dropped his entire team right before the free agent auction this morning. Fucking prick. May as well just hand the championship to the dude that happened to be online during that magical 60-minute fire sale.

The fire sale is being undone but the chances of having a league next year are about 0. This will be the second one that's folded in as many years, partially due to trade bullshit.
