Missed field goal was absolutely killer. He is now 0-2 from 50 plus at denver. Instead of a 40 plus night from rivers and mcmanus turned into a 26 night point night because of a shitty last 5 minutes.
Only got about 4 for Julius Thomas but I'll take it. He has Rodgers and I have Brees so I have a feeling it'll wind up coming down to that Sunday night showdown.
SD has had success against Denver with ball control. I dont believe it will be as high scoring as many believe. I see a 27-21 type game, and if SD runs the ball like it did last year, I can be screwed. For some reason, I think Ryan has a big game this week.
He's awful on the road, a game here and there doesn't change the last 5-7 years. And depending on your league you still got 20 points from Rivers which is probably the minimum he'd get on a given week at this rate.

Hi guys!
So far: Denver had more TOS, 56 total points were scored in the game, Branden Oliver only had 13 carries for 36 yards, and Ryan has been a walking carcass in the 2nd half.
I really said wasnt true. Rivers did outscore him, but only by 4 points, so like I said it was a lot closer than I bet people would think. Hey, you win some... you lose some. Its ok I started both Rivers/Lafell to go along with A. Brown, Foster, Watkins, and Bradshaw.
High man by 40 points so far. No complaints whatsoever.

Nailed it.
My score was off by 1 TD, I got the SD score perfectly. And I said if SD ran it like last year, I could have been screwed. Rivers got 16 points and Ryan actually got 12. Both QBs played like absolute ass. The difference between the two QBs was Atlanta ran for a score while SD didnt.
We all have our whiffs, no need to dig your heels into this.
Sorry, I missed the Broncos score by 8 and got SD score correct. ANd I said it was going to be a lot closer than people think, and it was an Atlanta rushing TD from being on the money.
just won the week for me against my opponent in one league.
in the other, I dropped to 1 - 7, once again outscored by a team who had his so far high score of the year with brady, lefell, tate, sanu and others who outperformed.
he had been battling me for the cellar, and puts up his high score.
while I put vereen in this week instead of Keenan allen (reverse from last week), might have been the difference might not.
A contradiction. If you don't think 8 TDs in a game is a high scoring game, I'm not sure what to tell you. Plus all your reasonings for why Rivers might not do as well was completely wrong. Ball control, running game; all wrong.
Not to mention the main reason why your'e getting called out is because you tried bragging about you knowing BBI was wrong halfway through both the Thursday night game and this Sunday morning game. In reality, you were wrong. Twice.

ok, you are right. I was way off. The difference from Ryan and Rivers was Rivers had 1 more TD and 1 more Turnovers. Doesnt get much closer than that.

It's not that you were way off as much as you embarrassed yourself twice in one week on one prediction. You have to go out of your way to do that, and you did just that.
You were stomping your feet on the TNF thread on how you shouldn't have listened to BBI and started Rivers and then tried rubbing it in to BBI when Matt Ryan had a good first half. You were wrong. It's not a big deal. Accept and move on.
Rivers was the smarter play. He was. All I am saying lets not make it like Rivers had 30 and Ryan had 8. They were both pretty close this week. Which I thought initially earlier in the week.
Glad I went with Rivers/Lafell. They gave me about an extra 20-25 points.
My opponent's chances blew out as soon as Rodgers' hammy did.
Is that Philip Rivers was a no brainer, which was proven correct. He did 5+ points better. People cited the short week, playing at Denver, facing a very good team; but still gave Rivers the edge. You just feel like building a strawmen "That I knew it was going to be closer than people thought" because you shit the bed on your midgame predictions.

Umm, I said it was going to be closer than people thought the day I started the thread.
Shout out to the guy in my league who dropped Cooks.
Scooped him right up and finally made the right call in my WR3 slot this week by starting him.
Going to have a tougher choice to make next week when OBJ is off the bye.
My father dropped Brady after the KC game. Has lost 3 of the next 4 all by less than 10 points because his QBs have been shit and Brady has been awesome.
Going up against Peyton it's amazing that I would be happy if he only threw 3 tds -- guy's a machine..
Glad I didn't listen to any other jabroni.
My team has been on fire lately though, knock on wood.
I have no idea what I'm going to do when Josh Gordon is back and has a couple of games under his belt. Roddy White is probably hitting the bench.
Oliver/Floyd/Novak against no one for my other team. Would have liked one more big play to floyd but can't complain overall.

Just be thankful I gave you the right advice and you were smart enough to take it.
This would be the 2nd time this week. He did it halfway through the Chargers/Broncos game as well.
Ned Beatty (shoulder; for patting himself on the back too soon)
Lol
Never change brother
Forte
Foster
Bradshaw
Sanu
Miller
Tucker
Chicago
I absolutely killed it today. Chicago defense was my only negative.
High man by 40 points so far. No complaints whatsoever.

lol. Ouch.
I have to figure out what I'm going to do with Vereen though. He's the type of guy I'd hate benching because Belly might decide to feed him.
I hate having options. This year I regularly make the wrong ones.
Umm, I said it was going to be closer than people thought the day I started the thread.
Going to have a tougher choice to make next week when OBJ is off the bye.
Plus, no one said Rivers was going to blow out Ryan in fantasy. Just that he was the no brainer, which came to fruition.
Now I think Kelvin Benjamin might be a good keeper option in the 12 round. that dude has some size, he's a big target.

My father dropped Brady after the KC game. Has lost 3 of the next 4 all by less than 10 points because his QBs have been shit and Brady has been awesome.
