The NFL Thread- Super Bowl XLVII: The Harbowl

I'm 125% sure SpoonMan only said that because he's a Jets fan, and hates Tom Brady's guts.

Tony Romo has never thrown for 4500 yards in a season, although he has thrown for over 4000 yards 3 times. He threw for nearly 4200 yards, and 31 TD's, with the same shitty offensive line he had last year.

The team acquired center Ryan Cook from Miami(apparently the Cowboys and Dolphins are butt buddies, players are always coming and going to each other's rosters), but the line is still terrible. Cook will probably win the job by default, as long as he knows how to snap a football(the sad thing is, that's not being sarcastic in the slightest).

As far as I care, Eli's season last year was quite the anomaly. He throws for nearly 5000 yards, when before then, his career high was 4021 yards. I don't see Eli getting 4500 yards either, but 4200-ish sounds right. The Giants couldn't run the ball much last year, due to injuries along the o-line and to Bradshaw.

Joe Flacco? A 4500 yard passer? Um...yeah, good luck with that. He's never even thrown for 3700 yards, and his accuracy isn't great. Plus, Ray Rice. I don't buy this no-huddle stuff allowing Flacco to air it out THAT much. Even if he did, he'd just end up throwing more INT's.

If Stafford and Megatron play all 16 games, no way he doesn't top 4500 yards again. I mean, c'mon man.

Also, 5 days until the Cowboys get whooped by the Giants. Yay.....this season's not gonna be fun.

Here's my other professional league (2 RB, 2 WR, RB/WR flex):

I like that one much better.

Here's another draft I did, with QB as my obvious weak spot:

I'm indeed very high on Hillis- he looked like a man reborn this preseason/training camp. Plus, now that he has a much better line than he had in Cleveland and more distractions/weapons, I see a lot of good things barring injury.

Rice, Amendola, and Moeaki are all risks, but those three and my kicker came in the last four rounds. I pay a lot of attention to the waiver wire over the season too, but you're absolutely right about consistency being a potential issue.

I'm gonna act like Matthew Berry and make my bold predictions:

Top 3 QBs: 1. Rodgers, 2. Brady, 3. Newton

Top 3 RBs: 1. Lynch, 2. Foster, 3. Rice

Top 3 WRs: 1. Harvin, 2. Julio Jones, 3. Jennings or Nelson

Top 3 TEs: 1. Gronkowski, 2. Graham, 3. Hernandez

Top 3 D/STs: 1. Bears, 2. Eagles, 3. Seahawks

DISCUSS!

Edit: Week 1 Bold Prediction is 35-31 Dallas with Eli throwing 3 picks to 3 different Dallas players. Tony Romo throws a pick, and Dallas also loses a fumble. And the top 3 non-QB fantasy players, in order, are: 1. Hakeem Nicks, 2. Dez Bryant, 3. DeMarco Murray.

I apologize for asking this to whoever's team is "I'm Thinking RBs," but I believe that the waiver system should be in place Kyle.

Apparently it's not, and he was able to grab Ogletree *during the game,* which is quite frankly pretty BS and I ask that you change it by reverting his free agency add and reinstating the waiver wire. Otherwise it's just not fair at all.

So for those that weren't privy to how that ended up shaking down, I've got Ogletree being dropped for another player, but he won't become available until the 12th for anybody. Steph and I agreed that it was the most fair scenario, as it essentially makes the guy off-limits until a full week passes. The default Yahoo waiver setting (which I didn't realize- everything in the SH league is default, as I like to use it for my placebo league) is Sunday-Tuesday, which put this unique Wednesday game as a time that you could grab anybody right away. The waiver time is now set as "first game of the week-Tuesday," which should fix any future issues.

Heh...well I'm way happier now than I was at this time after week 1 last year. I definitely wasn't expecting that outcome. Then again, I wasn't expecting Kevin Ogletree, of all people, to go off like that. The Cowboys just played really good all throughout the game. I got jaded after last season, and I didn't expect them to win this game, so hey, it's a nice start indeed. I'm definitely liking how good the team looked.

The only complaint I have is that that pathetic, lazy fatass, Martellus Bennett, got a TD catch.

Oh, and the penalties. Before Austin snagged that long TD, there must've been 5 or 6 penalties on the Cowboys, on that drive alone. Otherwise, the team played great all around. Several guys made big plays. On to Seattle!

I don't normally like to post rosters, but I will be a bit upset if I don't at least get to the playoffs with this team. (Keep in mind that it's a 10-team league

)

Johnathan Vilma, Scott Fujita, Will Smith, and Anthony Hargrove all won their appeal against Bounty-gate. All I have to say is whoever has the Saints D is gonna be raking in the points.
