Fantasy football is going to give me a heart attack.

"DON'T HAND OFF TO VEREEN IN THE REDZONE, THROW IT TO GRONK!"

"BLOUNT FOR THE TD?! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING, TOMLIN?!"

"EAGLES DEFENSE, WHY ARE YOU SHIT?!"

I hate this.

I only had a brief experiment with fantasy and was awful at it so I don't have one this year haha. I'm actually hoping they don't play gronk too much today, everytime he lands on that arm I cringe.

Everybody's talking about the 49ers and Seahawks rivalry, but nobody talks about the 49ers and state/federal law rivalry that the government is easily winning.

In some sort of terrible mistake that wasn't discovered prior to the game, the Eagles playbooks were accidentally switched with the Jags playbooks.

At least, that is the only conclusion I can draw from the results thus far...

I started him without the expectation that he'd get targets outside of the redzone or third down. I'm hoping for a TD to get points. Especially since my back-up TD, Martellus Bennett, already has a TD.

I have two teams this year, and they're both terrible.

I was unhappy as someone I know who I dislike is a Hawks fan so I always root against them. They played one hell of a game though.

How is rg3 doing against jj watt and clowney? Thats a terrifying combo for a player who still doesnt look 100%.

he was a risky pick, but I picked him up pretty late in the draft so I'm pleased with that.

Sorry but yessssssssssssssss. It doesn't matter how good your weapons are or if the o line is fixed. You still have these issues:

1. The team wasted too high of a pick on RG3. His pocket passing will never be as good as the top 10 QBs in the league. And he will always get hurt. He refuses to slide. And he's too thin. He can't take a hit well.

2. Your defense is not good enough to win a Super Bowl. And you'll never have enough money to fix it because of all the money spent on RG3 and the offensive weapons.

I seriously don't see the Skins winning. They'll have to fail for a while, get a bunch of top picks, then rebuild.

Our running game is our strongest asset, I'll admit we did a little too much to get RG3 (glad we have him) but once he's completely and utterly healthy he'll be doing good. He can move, and he does it well.

Watt and Clowney are tall order for RG3, most quarterbacks are gonna have some trouble facing them.

We have some talented rookies on defense, like fine wine they'll just get better over time.

Who's your team so I can tell you why they suck?? :)

If that happens I really think the Patriots will make it to the Super Bowl. The AFC is garbage outside of the top 3 or 4 teams. The Pats and Broncos are the top two. If the Pats stay healthy then I think they can beat the Broncos this year. I'm not a Pats fan, this is just my objective opinion. The Broncos have a harder schedule.

And if the Pats make it to the Super Bowl then they'll have a chance of winning. The NFC is a meatgrinder. And even if the Hawks make it back to the SB who knows if they'll be lucky enough to have all their weapons healthy.

God I hate the Hawks. They are damn good though. If they stay healthy I think they'll repeat.

Manuél Ferrari > AM3R 09/07/2014 at 15:04

Why are you still glad you got RG3? That was a terrible move! The team gave up WAY too much! If he starts playing good this year I would trade him. You just can't rely on him staying healthy!! Roll with Cousins and pick other QBs in the higher rounds of future drafts and see if you get lucky.

You just can't win with high draft pick QBs unless they are truly elite. Andrew Luck was worth the #1 pick. Nobody else has been worth a top 3 pick in years... Better to get sure bet players in other positions and then use later round picks for QBs since NFL QBs are such a crap shoot.

My team is the Niners. And I know why they suck too. They're not going to win the SB. They messed up their chances the last couple years. And now the Hawks are even better than last year. It's going to be a tall order knocking them off. Especially with half the team being suspended and our QB being overrated as well.

I'm glad we got RG3 because when he DOES get healthy we can trade him for someone much better but less "overrated".

People were so surprised Johnny Manziel was picked so late, I think it was a good move. A GREAT move to be honest.

Kirk Cousins is also overrated, but at least he's healthy. He isn't as mobile as a healthy RG3 but I'd rather have him in right now.

I'd love to see the niners beat the hawks. I hate the Seahawks. Marshawn Lynch is a ticking time bomb. He doesn't have too many seasons left being as good as he is. For now, I'll enjoy having him on my fantasy team!

Manuél Ferrari > AM3R 09/07/2014 at 15:17

If the Skins trade RG3 and the owner then your team could be really good! I have zero faith in your owner. He seems like a total moron who cares more about money than winning. He seems like Jerry Jones. I think he strong arms the GMs into doing what he wants because he wants players who will get a lot of PR.

Yeah Lynch and Harvin are both ticking time bombs!

I HATE DAN SNYDER!!! Nearly every redskins fan does! All he cares about is money and buzz! As long as the redskins have attention he's happy. He's definitely a lot like Jerry Jones. Interestingly enough, he's one of the primary investors in Red Zebra broadcasting, which is the home to Redskins radio ESPN, so the more attention and hype the redskins get the more money goes into his pocket.

A few years back he cut down a ton of trees by his $10 million dollar residence in Maryland without permission from the national parks his house was located next to. This allowed him to have an unobstructed view of the Potomac river from his house which caused the value to increase by $1 million! Money is all he wants!

They're better than the Niners in many areas. And any areas where they aren't better than the Niners they are only a hair behind. Overall I think they the better team. For the Niners to beat them in the playoffs they need to be at full strength and hope that the Hawks have a key injury or two.
