- Thread starter NoleLizards

Looks like Warner to Bruce and Holt out there right now
You must not have my current address anyways. Still waiting on that check!
And no one usually has any interest in the Thursday night game here. I apologize for letting y'all down haha.
It's an exciting game. (Only problem for me is that I own both teams' defenses on respective fantasy teams.)
I had to go to the mat for you but got your pay doubled from last year's rate. I'll get with accounts payable and see where your checks are.
Yuck! Defense is the worst!
I just want to see two teams running up the score on each other - nothing kills my enjoyment of a game like a bunch of 3 and outs!
Every team should run spread offenses, every QB should throw for 500 yards, and the over/under for every game should be 100 points!
Super high scoring trackmeets like this are prob going to become more common.
QBs are going to feel a lot safer knowing the hits they do take aren't going to be that painful, making them more likely to stand in the pocket and take the extra 0.5-1.0 second to air it out.
If you're going to protect the QB like that, shouldn't you protect all players? Seems like a double standard to protect the owner's pet but no one else.

QBs are the owners' pets because they can singlehandedly move the viewership needle. Other positions don't have that singular impact on the game - or at least on most peoples' willingness to watch it. You've got to protect them, or else you end up with Brett Hundley as your QB, and nobody wants to watch that.
I'm not arguing and I get the financial reasons why they're coddled by the rules - thought to be fair, the league has done quite well over decades without such highly protective rules.
I'm also all for any rule that protects player health - but it's disingenuous for the league use that premise to only protect players at a couple positions and not everyone else. Just be open and say "we're protecting our $$$, the health of other players isn't as important", fans and players are pretty aware of what's going on, ownership/league office is just embarrassing themselves... yet again.
Now that player health is, rightly, on the radar, football won't be the same at any level, and I'm okay with that.
@DFSNOLE Is this the official thread for the week?
Question for you fellow Fantasy participants: Can you recall a time this early in the season with so many "questionable" injury designations? The resulting guessing game's making it particularly difficult for me to decide who to play across my various leagues.

For me it's a pattern. For example, Beast Mode. Gets listed as questionable on Tuesday, on Friday he's healthy, and on Gameday he gets 70yds and a touchdown. Every week.
I have a few players like that. But then there is DFree who just goes from questionable to out every week.

Shoulda drafted Tevin as a handcuff. He gets plenty of work even when Devonta's healthy.For me it's a pattern. For example, Beast Mode. Gets listed as questionable on Tuesday, on Friday he's healthy, and on Gameday he gets 70yds and a touchdown. Every week.

Believe it or not, I was able to grab Coleman off the waiver wire in a couple of leagues.
