  1. Correct me if im wrong but based on my count this dude is 16-1 with his predicitions http://hairydonut.com/fantasy-football-2012-sleeper-picks/
  2. As of RIGHT NOW, who are the top 3 QBs?
  3. Just had a little debate with one of my buddies on the topic. I was split and said I'd take either... but he just loves Newton's abilities and believes that it's a no-brainer pick. Who would you take to lead your team? Obviously Newton came out on top in their week 9 matchup but I still find it difficult to compare the two... Cam is in his dreaded sophmore slump, whereas RG3 is a rookie... but if I just had to I think I'd go with RG3. Redskins offense has completely come alive since he's arrived and he's so dang accurate. But like i said..I like Cam Newton too.
  4. Is Eli sort of throwing his teammates/OC under the bus here? It sure doesn't sound good...and is unlike him. Manning’s ‘off’ when needed to be electric By STEVE SERBY Last Updated: 3:44 AM, November 5, 2012 Posted: 1:30 AM, November 5, 2012 Giants Blog Steve Serby The power outage that drove Eli Manning from his flooded Hoboken digs to a Manhattan hotel followed him to MetLife Stadium yesterday. There aren’t many Giants fans who would trade Elite Eli for Big Ben Roethlisberger ... except for yesterday. When Eli Manning looked lost in the dark. It was Steelers 24, Giants 20, when it ended because Manning could not find a way to overcome either himself or a horrific performance from Tom Coughlin’s special-teams coverage units (68-yard kickoff return, 63-yard punt return). Manning — and all the Giants — so badly, so nobly, yearned to finish, their enduring mantra, as much for the devastated victims of Sandy as for themselves. Joseph E. Amaturo OH, MANN! Eli Manning, who finished 10-for-24 for 125 yards and no touchdowns, reacts after throwing an interception during the Giants’ 24-20 loss to the Steelers last night at MetLife Stadium. Except this turned out to be one of those rare occasions when you can’t spell F-U-T-I-L-E without an E, an L and an I. The football gods handed Manning one last chance not to make everything right, because that is impossible now, but one last chance to let the struggling survivors cling to some source of inspiration from a quarterback and a team that has given plenty to this area. He had 3:55 and three timeouts to navigate the 88 yards to Giants 27, Steelers 24. Manning Time. Incomplete for Victor Cruz — and not even close. Incomplete for Martellus Bennett. Fumble following a sack by LaMarr Woodley that Kevin Boothe recovered. Manning never saw the ball again. It marked the second straight game Elite Eli had failed to throw a touchdown pass. His last one was the 77-yard bomb to Cruz that beat the Redskins. He is in a slump, even if he doesn’t think he is. And if he doesn’t figure out how to get his team in the end zone, the 6-3 Giants will be fighting off questions about another second-half swoon. “I feel like I’m throwing the ball accurately when I have opportunities to,” Manning said. And: “I don’t feel off rhythm, no. I think, offensively, in the passing game, whether we’re just running things we feel comfortable with or getting guys (receivers) winning again so we get guys open, it’s just a combination of ... I don’t feel like I’m throwing the ball inaccurate, I don’t feel like I’m missing guys, so I think it’s just a matter of getting back where offensively we’re playing fast and making good decisions and guys are winning and we’ll hit ’em.” We’ve all become spoiled by Elite Eli. Just because Hakeem Nicks (four targets, one catch, 10 yards) is still not his explosive self, just because Cruz (5-67) is getting the Me And My Shadow treatment and getting mugged, just because the running game (22-68) is stuck in mud, doesn’t mean the elite quarterback can’t elevate his level of play and overcome. “I’m sure he would come to tell you that he didn’t play as well as he would like to have played,” Coughlin said. “We have to get him back on track. He’s our guy and we have to get him back playing the way he was a couple of weeks ago and we have to do it in a hurry. And it’s not just Eli now. We’re struggling to get ourselves in position so that it’s an automatic for the quarterback too.” It’s never entirely the quarterback’s fault. But 10-for-24 for 125 yards and one interception? A 41.1 QB rating? Are you kidding? “Two weeks ago, we were the No. 1 big-play team in the league,” Coughlin said. “I mean, it doesn’t make any sense.” Let’s try to make sense of it. Manning threw only once to a running back. He targeted Bennett (3-40) four times. Domenik Hixon (0-0) was targeted once. His best plays were a pair of pass interferences worth a total of 87 yards against Keenan Lewis. The green zone has become the dead zone. On his first possession, Manning tried a back-shoulder throw to rookie Rueben Randle ... on third-and-1 at the Pittsburgh 44. Terrible play call. The Ike Taylor interception was a forced heave for Cruz into double coverage. “Bad decision by me,” Manning said. “Just got hit as I threw it, the ball didn’t come out how I wanted it to. Should have not attempted that throw under the circumstances.” Three-and-out, three-and-out, three-and-out in the fourth quarter. “I’ve kept my regular schedule, tried to stay in a normal routine,” Manning said. “We were prepared to play tonight, we just didn’t play our best.” Power failure at quarterback.

  9. Eagles >> Fire Andy Reid. He's been around long enough to know that sometimes his best defense is his offense. Ball control and better play calling he has gotten more wins! Where's the loyalty to the coaching staff? Especially to those who have been with the organization as long as Castillo has been. I personally feel that he was set up for failure by switching him over to the defensive side of the ball. From O line coach straight to being DC.. Kind of a drastic change there!!

    Biggest clown team right now?

    The eagles aren't a clown team but i will say this... after 14 years I finally joined the chorus "Fire Andy" a couple of days ago. If your gonna force Castillo to use the DL coach's wide 9, at least replace him with the guy. Just seems like a knee-jerk response by a coach under pressure...3-4 less turnovers by the offense and the team could be 4-2 or even 5-1. The OL w/o Peters and Kelce is as bad as the OL's of the Buddy Ryan era
  11. Yeah especially this weekend guys like Calvin Johnson, AJ Green, Wes Welker, and Brandon Lloyd they couldn't even post double digits for receiving yards... but i think its just due to double coverage

    Biggest clown team right now?

    By clown team i mean team that draws the most laughs. For me its gotta be the Jets. I specifically remember a moment when I laughed out loud during a play two weeks ago when Shonn Greene ran the ball up the middle...he had a first down and then he started running backwards and ended up behind the line of scrimmage lol and the time when Sanchez threw the ball to Tebow and the ball hit Tebow on the back of the head lol Other possible teams >> Cowboys, Jets, Panthers, Saints, or Raiders?
  13. eaglesfan4

    What players on your team wouldn't you trade for the #1 pick?

    For the Eagles I would not trade >> Desean Jackson, Lesean McCoy, Dominque Rodgers-Cromartie, and Demeco Ryans
