Welcome to Thunderdome

40 point lead in fantasy Sunday afternoon. Opponent had 3 players left, I had 2. He had Derrick Henry.

4 point lead into Monday, 2v2. I had Achane But woke up to find out Walker had done just enough vs Gibbs + St. Brown. 3 point win, and luckiest high scorer of the week. 3-1, despite having the #2 points against.

I also had Achane and a 10 point lead against my opp's Metcalf. I dropped to 3-1.

However, I won in my work league and moved to 3-1 (This league is for legit money.). Got destroyed in the family league dropping to 2-2 and the team I'm helping my cousin with won to move to 2-2.

Speaking of Achane, can we talk about how bad Miami looked last night? It was embarrassing. Mike McDaniel looked like he legit would have murdered someone if allowed.

It was ugly.

Catt, i just gotta say. I'm glad i didn't take you up on going to the Browns vs Commanders game Sunday. That Washington offense is incredible with a young franchise QB running things. Cleveland's defense is a shell of last year's D and i don't see why it would change this week.

Maybe our only hope is that the Washington D has been a little suspect too, but then again, the Giants and Raiders defenses were supposed to be a liability too and we all saw how that went.

I thought we'd get shellacked when I made the offer. Washington aint perfect, but it's the best we've seen in a while. Meanwhile, the Browns... well, there's still time for them to disappointment me again this weekend

As long as yall can't run the ball, we might win!

I was pondering the Cobra Commanders-Steelers matchup. It'll be interesting. Steelers' D against a rookie QB.

Also, with the success of kids Stroud and Daniels, and the failure of kids like Young, are we hitting a new golden era for QBs where we're going to know in the first 6 games if they're got it or not?

Although to counter that, I present to you Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold.

Stranger, be honest, is there a lot of grumbling in Cleveland about how they should have kept Mayfield? To be fair to the organization, if Baker doesn't leave and make the stops he did, particularly with McVay, I don't know that he becomes what he is now.

I would bet on the Steelers. We're weak against the run, and our O-line isn't great.

Najee Harris carried 19 times for 16 yards Sunday.

I swore I read they were a top 10 running O this morning, but maybe that was before this week's games.

We can run. I'm just hating on Najee. We're not awesome though. Bad/injured O line + they haven't let Fields really start to sling it yet, thus Ds are still playing up.

Najee being a bust is something that's been discussed among Steelers fans for a while. Warren and Patterson are far more efficient, but relegated to 2nd and 3rd string because Najee was a 1st rounder.

The Commanders could realistically be 7-3 in a few weeks
W: Browns, Panthers, Bears, Giants
L: Steelers, Ravens

Someone here was more positive about their season...

Although that idiot also thought the Browns would be a lot better.

Adams is on the market.

The Steelers tried to get Aiyuk. I wonder if they'll try to get Adams?

Good news for the Dolphins.

Washed up WR joins team without a QB.

Of course, there's a section of the fanbase that feels that way, Baker was a popular player. But looking back he played horrible his last season here, albeit he was injured most of the season. And Baker was not as mature as he is now, he was always sniping at the local reporters. So i can't blame them for going after Watson to an extent. I think Baker just needed to grow up and he has and i'd much rather have that guy under center than Watson at this point.

It is legit shocking how good Baker has become.

He might be the poster boy for how hard work and finding the right situation can work for a "failed" QB.

Like I said earlier, I don't think he gets here without moving on from Cleveland, Carolina, and LA, but he looks so good in TB.

That was an awesome game.

Except for Cousins being on my bench, sure.

NFL is hands off with Tua.

As I read this article I realized that if you're able to come up with a permanent fix for concussions, you're going to get PAID.

Sure, you'd make money on such a thing anyway. However, the NFL (and probably other leagues) are going to treat you like a unaccompanied 10 at final call. You'll be a rock star. You'll be invited to every game with sideline access. Etc.

Let's get to work boys!
