    The last 30 or more seconds of OT

    Yep, new game starts, would have rolled into a new quarter. Both teams get a full chance to possess the ball in the new overtime playoff (or is it only Super Bowl? can't remember) rules. Chiefs had until the end of their possession, however long it took, to turn it over on downs or int/fumble...

    New workout, other factors behind Carson's durability

    Another factor that I noticed while owning Carson this fantasy season was his snap counts. I think injuries and durability are still a concern for Carson to some extent. After week 3 when Carson played 72% of the snaps, he was unable to play the next game due to injury. Weeks 5 and 6 they...

    Chris Collinsworth

    By far my favorite color commentator. He interjects many interesting details and aspects of the game and plays that we might not have been able to keep track of during the live play, and does so very concisely. I don't care what teams are playing, I always enjoy Sunday Night Football purely...

    Fantasy Finals help

    Personally, I'd play Jaylen Samuels over Gurley (assuming he sits, and maybe even if he doesnt). With the reports coming out from LAR about who is going to start if Gurley doesn't play being all over the place, it's a situation to avoid imo. It's surprising that they're suggesting a guy that's...

    GURLEY Is a FRAUD

    With such an extensive knowledge of football, I'm surprised you're not in a front office somewhere. You know it's okay that we might both be right? I never said he's a 1st team all pro RB or worthy of it, I simply said he's a fantastic running back that is put in positions by his head coach to...

    GURLEY Is a FRAUD

    I don't think its quite fair to call him a fraud. That feels like its coming from a very hateful place. I respect that you may think he's overrated. That's a fair take. In my opinion, he's a fantastic running back and just because he has a different skillset than our punishing Carson doesn't...

    How is 54-51 even football anymore?

    Not my idea of enjoyable football to watch. Last night's Bears/Vikings game was a lot more entertaining to me and one of the more memorable primetime games this year (for me) was the 19-16 Dallas/Houston game. Sure hope this doesn't become the norm, but if it does then I guess I'll have more...

    ET III ( in his own words)

    I've seen this perspective posted on Seahawksdraftblog before, but what Earl fails to see is that trades don't magically happen because you want them to, and Seattle is not going to give away an All Pro safety for peanuts. The fact that no team has offered a fair trade for a player of his...

    Does The LOB Name Die With The Original LOB?

    I recognize some disconnects in this discussion. I see several comments how there will never be another group of players on this team in the secondary to the caliber of the "original" Legion of Boom, and that to suggest that there ever could be (especially this soon) is complete sacrilege. I...

    Does The LOB Name Die With The Original LOB?

    I do see your point. I believe the units that had those nicknames got to the point where we are now and couldn't sustain what the nickname represented, which is a tribute to how truly rare it is to form such a group in the first place. Do you think that if those teams or units were able to...

    Does The LOB Name Die With The Original LOB?

    In my opinion, "Legion of Boom" is more than a specific list of players, it's about a mindset, attitude, physicality, philosophy, brotherhood, consistency and last but not least - level of skill the players bring to their positions, the secondary unit and defense as a whole. Creating a unit...

    Damned if they do, damned if they dont

    I have seen a lot of people pointing these things out, and the one glaring oversight in that stance is the effect a new offensive line coach may have on what is actually a pretty decent offensive line (Brown/Pocic/Britt/Fluker/Ifedi and Fant mixing in somewhere). Is it an elite unit? No, but...

    Luke and Shead coming back

    This guy gets it. These deals don't guarantee that Willson makes the roster this year. This just frees them up immensely with their draft strategy. Completely expecting the draft to solve your problem at any position just sets you up very poorly in multiple ways. If your competition knows...

    One silver lining - Paul Richardson

    Lockett and injuries have been P-Rich's biggest obstacles, along with a mind-boggling insistence by the coaching staff to keep playing Kearse. Lockett just does a lot of the same things as P-Rich and has generally been healthier. To those commenting on Kearse's ability to block "always"...

    It's time to sit Jermaine Kearse

    I still can't believe he's under contract for 2 more years. He's not very good - I don't think he'd start for any other team in this league. There are way more bad plays than there are good ones when he's targeted and its beyond frustrating to watch. Kearse also can't get open without...

    Investing in O-Line

    I heard Collinsworth say it on some Sunday Night game earlier this year, teams are built by paying elite players and drafting rookies. There are occasional journeyman vets to fill in the gaps, but due to the contracts getting bigger and bigger, this is the approach a lot of teams are taking...

    Waiver wire tight end help

    I drafted Ertz and I liked him a lot coming into the year (I think he was in my TE 5-7 range). Seeing the Philly offense has soured my outlook on him a lot. Wentz is spreading the ball around to so many guys, I have a hard time seeing Ertz being as good as *I* thought he'd be, on a weekly...

    So, how did your Week 1 go?

    That's kinda where I'm at. I had most of my auction budget invested in my starters, so it was a decent hit. I have a bunch of WRs that I like and may be able to fill in, but they all still have a lot to prove. Hopefully it irons itself out in the next few weeks and I think the rest of my...

    Todd Gurley

    I don't think the Rams offense is as bad as they showed week 1. That was utterly disgraceful. The Rams will score touchdowns this year though and Gurley has very good odds to be involved in the majority of them. I have also noticed a trend with the Rams (usually on defense, though) in the...

    So, how did your Week 1 go?

    Won handedly, but lost Keenan Allen for the year, Zach Ertz for a little while (maybe) and RG3 (this one doesn't bother me much). So it didn't feel too much like a win.
