Joebirds55 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 As an eagles fan, watching hill run and do nothing sadly reminds me of watching my team hand it off to demarco murray. Especially when the Bernard/Matthews come in and shred. Glad I have two games worth of this torture this week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gourdeau Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Bernard is out playing Hill evertime he touches the ball.. wish they used him more..much quicker, more elusive .. doesn't need 5 yards to get a head of steam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joebirds55 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Eifert putting my team on his back dou...stop the fight! Let hill milk this clock from here on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anismith Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Wow, Green is underperforming but thank god I played Eifert... so unfair the lack of yards for the TD's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorttynaz Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 My opponent played Barnidge and left Eifert on the bench Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowboysDiehard Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Going against Eifert this week. FML. One brutal year, considering giving up league format play altogether. I'm having far better luck on DFS right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joebirds55 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Hill wtf was that? Green pastures up the sideline but you hesitate and get tackled. Nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brg88tx Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 ok, who here started eifert in fan duel/draft kings this week? what a great start!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pun Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Finally I start Dalton on a good week. The only other weeks I started him was when he had 18 points against KC and 10 against PIT. I'll take it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin_Akie Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Swapped Eifert in last minute for Gates, more relieved than happy now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MothAudio Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 (edited) Starting Eifert vs Mr. 8-0 got me off to a good start. Bengals defense not so much. Manziel killed Barnidge's value in three leagues. Edited November 6, 2015 by MothAudio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forever in debt to mo lewis Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 here I was worried the bengals running game would dominate this game and eifert would be me 8 points tops...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Manziel's passes to the Duke were curtailed in the 2nd half as the Bengals were able to keep him in the pocket. He still should've used the screen more. At the last minute, I swapped out Barnidge for Duke after I remembered the Titans game in Week 2, Barnidge had 2 points. I also started Eifert. Too bad my opponent started Dalton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 (edited) Great first half horrible second half. Browns didn't have a 1st down in the 2nd half until about 3.5 minutes remaining when the Bengals led by 21 and the defense got a little softer. Stupid penalties, Starks with the taunting (he should have just kept walking, even stepping over the guy wasn't going to get the flag, but standing over him and talking trash will). Whether you agree with the call or not as a player you have to know this will happen and try to control yourself. Of course if they didn't grow up trash talking and taunting from before HS they might not do it all in the pros. Manziel has improved but once CIN kept him in the pocket he was stymied. He still cannot find an open reciever and throw to them from the pocket, at least not more than 3-5 yards downfield. I liked what I saw from Duke as well on passing plays lined up wide. I hated some of the runs they had him doing, he isn't Crowell you cannot just hand off and have him run up the middle (not the way we're blocking). This was a rare ZERO TURNOVER game, I found out there have been 19 (1 post season) since 1940, with 9 of those coming since 2007, some gaps before that of 10 years or so. ETA Those numbers on zero turnover games may be off, have been discussing with person who provided the info and some others digging into it via pro football reference using the Team Game Finder query http://pfref.com/tiny/jMLoJ Edited November 6, 2015 by stevegrab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pun Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Wasn't there a turnover on downs at the end of the game? Could be mistaken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BA Baracus Posted November 7, 2015 Author Share Posted November 7, 2015 Manziel's passes to the Duke were curtailed in the 2nd half as the Bengals were able to keep him in the pocket.

Too bad my opponent started Dalton. I fell asleep at halftime. Was it really the Bengals that kept Johnny in the pocket or was it the CLE coaches. I remember Pettin saying something about not wanting Manziel running around so much when they interviewed him on the way in at halftime.

I remember Pettin saying something about not wanting Manziel running around so much when they interviewed him on the way in at halftime.Pettine actually said there are more throws they'd like him to make from the pocket. Either way, most of 1st halfs throws on the move were not by design, but scrambles. 2nd half CIN D contained him more and the offense just didn't click, going 3-and-out all but their final possession under 5 minutes.
