Looks like my Rams pulled out a big comeback too. 14 unanswered points in the 4th quarter. They had a tough time finishing games out last year, so that is a good sign. They scored 27 total, which is also pretty good.

Still, it was a tight game at home against the Cardinals, so hopefully the Cardinals are better this year. If not, it will be another long disappointing season.

As long as the Cards have Fitzgerald, they'll have to go out of their way to be the joke they were last season. Carson Palmer is not exactly a good quarterback, but he's enough steps up from Kevin Kolb et al. to make opponents have to actually show up to get their win. I don't expect the Rams to be a powerhouse this year, and they'll likely have a losing record, but they should be competitive.

The Giants are such an awesome team. They know that sharing is caring!

I'm not gonna lie, I am hoping for a lot more than that.  They were 7-8-1 last year and 4-1-1 in the division.  They had trouble at the end of games last year, and ended up losing (and tying) a couple of winnable games.  They were the youngest team in the league last year and are again this year, but I am hoping that another year of experence and another year with Fisher will fix that.

They have a very good front seven.  They tied for most sacks in the league last year.  It "should" be an improved offense with the added weapons.  We shall see I guess.

Oh god. That Gmen game was the worst thing ever. On top of that, the last touchdown to Myers screwed me in fantasy FB. I'm hating them right now...



Looks like Dallas screwed up some people's placements.

Rol will verify later, but yeah its basically this:

3 losses: (guaranteed positions 1 and 2)
antfromtashkent
j_allard

4 losses:
insomniac
ninjablade360
nobleteam360
noname2200
rolstoppable
shakarak
zuvuyeay

Basically the point winners from this week will come from there solely based on the MNF points picked. These peeeps are followed by a large number with 5 losses and very few larger than that. Interesting first week and 2nd week could easily have someone who didn't even place take top spot overall.

I just hope Eli saves a little bit of his interception love for his brother Peyton next week.

 

That was one of the worst games I ever saw.  Watched because Romo and Cruz helped me kill in my fantasy league. Cruz all day baby!!!

You know honestly I boubt it. This is typical Giants. Lose games they are suposed to win and blow out the games they are suposed to lose. I'm going G-men 7+ over Broncos. 

I have never really had a problem with the Cowboys as a team until I heard them talking s**t after the game. 4-1 in Jerry World is still awesome. Lets all watch as the Cowboys crumble again this year and giggle at their missery.

Look on the bright side: it took giving it up six times in one game for the Cowboys to beat you by one score.

I have no problem with s**t talking. Its a part of sports and its fun to watch. But talking (and acting) like you are hot s**t after you barely managed to hold on for a win at home agains a team thats 4-0 there... is just infuriating lol.
