delusions of grandeur Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 The Falvons/Ravens was an awesome game last year... Falcons versus Jags next week, not so much... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTSuper7 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I just hate that feeling you have all day Friday and Saturday of regretting a guy you benched that went off on Thursday. Thursday games just stretch out the agony of chitty roster decisions for four days instead of one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL Fan Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 The Falvons/Ravens was an awesome game last year... Falcons versus Jags next week, not so much... Sometimes typos are cool. I'd root for a team called the "Falvons." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grits and Shins Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 (edited) Not to mention the NFL network has the worst broadcast team as well as the worst production quality ...

Scooby's Hubby Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I was the guy who benched Brown thinking Mendy would go nuts. D'oh! same here ... benched Brown and put in Mendy. The rationale was that Big Ben is hobbled and Mendy would get the goaline opps. looking at Brown's stat line this morning hurts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace had a TD overturned and ruled that he was down at the 2. They gave Mendy three cracks at it from the 2 and they stonewalled him every time. Didn't see it, just heard it on the radio. Small consolation, I know, but he did get the goal line carries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, when I saw the score was still 7-3 later, I wondered what happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whomper Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 (edited) I dont like the Thursday game because I dont have nfl network. If the game was on regular TV I would be fine with it Edited December 9, 2011 by whomper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 An extra day of football and an extra game on TV (how many Sunday afternoon games can you watch, eve with ST or RZ) is always a good thing. I'd prefer they have more of the late season Saturday afternoon DHs like the old days though. MNF games often suck too, but nobody talks about eliminating them? As far as the fantasy football aspect, yeah it sucks (benching a guy who goes off, having to make early decisions) but I don't think that means we shouldn't have Thursday football.

stevegrab Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I dont like the Thursday game because I dont have nfl network. If the game was on regular TV I would be fine with it I'll feel the same way if they move the package to Vs (soon to be NBC Sports Network), because I don't have that and don't want to pay more for it (they don't offer anything now that I find of value). But as an NFL fan I find plenty of shows I like on NFLN, its NFL football 24/7 (not a little NFL sprinkled in with every other sport like you get on ESPN).

BleedingGreen Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Actually, he got FOUR cracks....they went for it on 4th down from inside the 1-yard line, and he got stuffed I'm really trying to get over this. I just can't believe it. Is there a forum here for rants? 4 cracks at the goal line. 78 yards rushing, his best in SEVEN games. That's nice you say you gotta execute better, Rashard. Why can't you go on IR and do me a favor? You suck. Please Huddle, never rank or talk about Mendenhall as a #1 RB, he isn't, at best he's a #2. He doesn't catch passes, he can't bulldoze a line....Redman and Moore get practically half the snaps it seems like. He's Jackie Battle + an energy drink. And I drafted him #5 because I read some stupid article on draft positions and he was the next best thing after Foster/Rice/Johnson/Charles. Genius. F me.

I don't recall seeing any FF site having him ranked worse than 10. That's a swing and a miss that everyone made. Me in two leagues as it turns out.
