I just benched Aaron Rodgers on my fantasy team in favour of Cam Newton, I must be mad!

I just reckon Newton could post monster stats against the Jags!

You don't bench studs. Get hawking Newton out, I would be if I had more of a backup than Donovan McNabb

Correct. Why you would drop the best and most consistent QB's (fantasy wise) i'll never know. Especially against Chicago, I fancy it to be a high scoring game with both defences not exactly firing.

Oh, and Mark you got absolutely murdered on that trade.

Quite fair. Needed an all purpose back and Bradshaw was ranked alot higher than Jacobs. Rice may not be as effective. Losing Charles has killed almost any chance I had anyway. I hate to say it, but your squad looks very strong.

Don't think I'm gonna be able to watch the Pats/Bills game today due to my PC being shat at streaming, think it could well be a repeat of the Browns game from last year with the way the Bills are playing and our injuries. I expect Fred Jackson to have a massive game like Peyton Hillis did last year.

Think I'm right in saying we have won 15(?) in a row against them so they have to win sometime, hopefully not for a while though!

I'm sure I remember them having a chance to end the streak a couple of seasons ago when they were in the lead with a couple of minutes left and the Patriots scored. All Bills needed to do pretty much was run the clock out, possibly only needing one first down. Pats kicked the ball off and the Bills returner ran it out, only to fumble the ball and give it back. New England scored on the next possession to win the game! Think that's pretty much what happened anyway??

Some hard matches to pick this week and I've basically given up on my fantasy this week with no Hillis.

I'm now missing Hillis, colston, hernandez, but I've got Pettinggrew so the TE spot isn't too bad. Looks like Boothstown will be going 3-0 and I'll be on a 2 match slide.

But my picks up in a bit!

Yup it was the opening MNF of the season a couple of years ago, the game where Brady made his return from injury IIRC, Ben Watson got both TD's and I couldn't believe we had won the game with the position we were in!

Gonna get a dry one at the Linc today. If we stomp Vick out we will have a chance.

I fancy the Bills to upset the Patriots today. Fitzpatrick is vastly underrated as a player.

I also like the Giants to beat the "Dream Team". They rely totally on Vick and he is very brittle and I if you can contain him they are average. I fancy the Giants to be able to do that.


As for our game I'm not totally confident. Rodgers should be able to rack it up on the Bears D but our defence has looked very average so far. If Cutler turn up then it could be a shoot out.
