pegos Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Brady vs BUF (2nd toughest against the pass. Underperforming last 2 weeks) Bortles @ SF (is Bortles but hot last few weeks. Also playing fournette and either Westbrook or Cole) Foles vs OAK (nice game last week, playing in poor weather on MNF this week) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montana is da Man Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I think you have to play Brady. If you play Bortles and Jax only scores 13 - 17 points, you lose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegos Posted December 21, 2017 Author Share Posted December 21, 2017 (edited) Bortles and foles scored 30 apiece last week. Brady got me 15 and I almost lost. (Praise be to Gurley) Edited December 21, 2017 by pegos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTSuper7 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I’d lean Foles here. Here’s why: Brady had a poor game vs. Buffalo last time around, and the Bills are right in the playoff hunt so will be tough. Bortles on the road against a hot team that is playing better on defense than people realize... I’ll pass. Foles gets a home game in prime time on Monday night against a team in the Raiders who just had their slim chances at the playoffs killed when Carr fumbled into the end zone. Oakland is a great matchup and might be pretty listless now that they are out of the playoff picture.

I'm in the same boat debating the same three QB's. I was starting to lean towards Bortles, but this has me thinking more about Foles.

jerlane Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I also wonder if Foles maybe has the safest floor of the three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hezagenius Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I don't think OAK is officially eliminated as of now, although maybe by MNF they will be. I'd rank them 1a Foles, 1b Bortles, 2 Brady To me, Foles and Bortles are pretty equivalent this week. If MIN somehow loses Saturday, I would shy away from Foles since PHI will have the #1 locked up. I still think they'll want Foles to get reps with a #1 seed locked up, but maybe not an entire game. Although if the #1 seed is locked up, maybe they unleash Foles and tell him to go nuts since the game doesn't really matter in terms of playoff seeding. JAX can sneak into the #2 spot if things bounce their way so I don't see Bortles letting up until/unless it becomes a blowout. Fournette coming back is what I think knocks Bortles below Foles this week. Brady is always capable of going off, but BUF needs this win and they play NE tough.

I do have that concern, but I'd be pretty surprised if Minnesota lost. I'd probably go with Bortles if the Vikings lose to Green Bay.

JFSZABO20 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 (edited) I'd guess that Brady was your QB1 all year ... PLAY YOUR STUDS! Burkhead is out, so that could mean TD passes to Gronk on the goal line. Besides ... I think Brady is gonna be a bit ticked off and fling the ball all over the place!

I actually traded for him back in week 11. He’s not touched my bench but I’m seriously considering it given his recent “slump” and the tough matchup.... having said all that, yeah it’s pretty risky to play anyone over Tom Brady in the championship game. Several down weeks usually means a bounce back game is coming when it comes to Brady.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxmachine69 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 All I can say is this.... I wouldn’t want to be the guy who lost the championship game because I benched Brady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
