Emmanuel Sanders might have saved my season.

If ever you are on a game show and you are asked “Who is the only man in NFL history to throw more than once 500 yds in a game?”, answer Big Ben. Don’t forget to give me half your earnings.

#244

Manning vs Brady, round 16 next week. Doesn’t get better than that.

#245

^ finally Todd Haley is starting to earn his money calling plays. Only took him two and a half seasons. Too bad Tomlin didn’t let Ben try and go for the record. After the Colts called a timeout he should have let him loose

#246

^ Although I wanted the Colts to complete the comeback, I love that call on 4th and inches on Ben’s 6th TD. Too many teams play conservatively in the last few minutes, that was a great play call.

#247

^ it was a great call. Totally unexpected. Usually they hand off and lose two yards. A lot of great games by top qb’s this week and the Sunday night game is shaping up to be a great qb duel

#248

What’s Big Ben’s deal? He’s literally a FA in my league and then he goes and throws for 522 yds and 6 TDs against the top FF D against QBs. Imma try to grab him, but you can’t help but wonder why someone with that capacity wouldn’t just do it more often. Take that game out and he’s avging like 12 FF pts a game.

#249

^ play calling- also the steelers had a lot of turnaround in wr’s this past offseason.

#250

Big Ben is a good fill in when your QB is on bye. Not the best fantasy option.

#251

Down goes Romo! Down goes Romo! Panic in the big D.

WTF Cowboys. I was really looking forward to a week of Philly sports talk radio after the Eagles blow one in AZ and the Cowboys presumably pound the NFL franchise from Washington. Now instead of getting to listen to all the Eagle-loving jabronies panic, I’ll have to listen ot a week of them crowing about how pathetic the Cowboys are. Thanks alot.

#256

^That’s okay. Philly will lose this week to Houston, and Dallas will beat Arizona, and will take their rightful place as #1 seed in the NFC.

After that, Dallas has Jacksonville and their bye, which basically equates to a week and a half off.

I must complain a little though–on Sunday, Nov. 23, Dallas plays the Sunday Night game at NYG, then has to play again on Thursday. I don’t mind the Thanksgiving Game, of course, but they should play at noon on Sunday instead of the night game

(edit) or at least get to play at home on Sunday night before their Thursday game.

#257

^ Primetime games = more exposure for the team = more merchandise sold = more money in Jerry’s pockets.

#258

I have Rodgers as my starting fantasy qb, who is on a bye this week. Romo is my backup. What do you think, should I roll with Romo, or should I pick up Flacco or Dalton?!

#259

^What do you have to give up to get Flacco or Dalton?

Consider too, that the Cowboys have a pretty tough schedule ahead. After the aforementioned bye, they get the Bears (which they should win), but they have the Giants in NY, the Redskins in DC, the Eagles twice, and the Colts.

#260

I would give up Romo. It’s only an 8 person league, so he may not get picked up. Rodgers will be my starter barring injury, so it’d be either Romo or Flacco/Dalton as my new backup.
