WhiteSoxfan1986 Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Wow, I thought the Saints would disapoint, but it's suprising to see them start out 0-3. And I wish people would stop acting like Vince Young is John Elway, he's not that good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palehosefan Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 The Wonderlic thing is funny. Why doesn't everyone make fun of McNabb and Culpepper as well for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palehosefan Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I know, I just find it funny that most people don't realize that most of the black quarterbacks have a terrible time with the Wonderlic. Even Warren Moon did horrible. Touchy subject though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBAHO Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 So major disappointments so far? Obviously teams such as the Saints and Bears etc., but I'm going with the St. Louis Rams. I thought Scott Linehan was going to be a real good coach, he ran some very good offenses in Minnesota and Miami. For whatever reason, it hasn't worked in St. Louis. And they should have a great offense, Bulger, Jackson, Holt etc. although Orlando Pace going down has probably really hurt. They just haven't made any progress with the defense whatsoever in the past 5 or so years. And I think they've got us this weekend without Steven Jackson, so they could very well be 0 and 4.

So losing a pro bowl corner, another good corner, a pro bowl safety, and a pro bowl D tackle all to injury, isn't a valid excuse? We are talking about a team that thrives on defense and special teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who has Houston really lost who's a key guy for them? NOLA has lost a couple guys but I'd say they're no where near the level of the Bears guys except for Deuce. I mean, you're talking about 3+ pro bowlers out, both of your starting CB's, 3/4 of your DB's, and toss Ruben Brown in there while you're at it.

NIU has had so many injuries that an undersized for a LINEBACKER 211 pound RS freshman is listed as the backup DEFENSIVE END this week, as seven of the nine guys in the original rotation are hurt. That, and our Butkus nominee MLB tore his ACL and is out for the year. And our RB tore his ACL and is out for the year. And our starting TE is injured..........oh damn I hate football injuries.

DrunkBomber Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 26, 2007 -> 07:50 AM) Nathan Vasher is expected to miss at least one month with a partially torn groin muscle. A big blow to the Bears' defense, which is made even bigger by the fact that Charles Tillman is also hurting. Tillman will miss two weeks. Roy Manning Jr. is expected to start in Vasher's place, with seventh-round pick Trumaine McBride replacing Tillman. Suddenly the Chicago defense doesn't look like a bad matchup in fantasy leagues Lions>Bears O My I call BS on this. Roy Manning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 26, 2007 -> 02:52 PM) The roto portion might have mistakes, but it's from the Sun Times... Tribune's blog says that Tillman indicates he is fine. Also indicates that Vasher didn't practice and may miss Sundays game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
