Who To Root For Week 1 Edition


Clawsome2

Recommended Posts

Yes because you can never start too early! Maybe it's a bit too obvious, but week after week this will become something to look at. I want to win= BOLD

Carolina Vs New York- No need to mention this ass kicking repeat

Minnesota Vs New Orleans - As much as I hate favre, I absolutely would love to see that stupid dome hush the hell up. I want this to set the tone for the aints to bounce back to where they belong.

Cleveland Vs Tampa Bay - I don't wish nothing against jake, I actually wish him success, and with that team taking its "L"s early, it would be bittersweet.

Atlanta vs Pittsburgh - Could dixon pull the upset? Can home be an advantage knowing the drop off they have in their qb situation. I can only hope somehow they pull the win.

Miami vs Buffalo - Not relevant but will throw in my pick just because i can.

Cincinnati Vs New England - Our opponent in week 3, I wish the patriots expose them for who they are, ovverrrratttedd. But again, it doesn't matter who wins.

Indianapolis Vs Houston - Underdog brochacho. Take the underdog if you are a betting man. Irrelevant pick again.

Skip the rest of the irrelevant AFC

Detroit Vs Chicago - Take chicago here, anything but a W here and chicago may be hungry for their first win oct 10. I rather want the panthers to face a struggling team than a desperate team.

Arizona Vs St. Louis - If this game ends in a tie, it would be a victory for everyone. St Louis is far, far away from being a contender, so stealing a W here may give us a leg up on Arizona for a wild card (if needed)

Green Bay Vs Philadelphia - Ugh, tough pick. Green bay really looks unstoppable, but a dreamer can dream. What if the panthers had a shot at the #1 seed (rolling eyes)- do we root for upset or do we root against philly's chance for 1 up on a wild card? Give me the eagles.

San Fransisco Vs Seattle - Seattle really has a struggling team, root for the Seahawks against the 49ers (the probable div winner).

Dallas Vs Washington - I hate and despise the cowpukes. Absolutely wish that they get destroyed and embarrassed and never see above 3 wins this year. NEVER root for them. Take the skins.

i would say Giants/Panthers will probably be 1 of the 2 more competitive games

the last team the G-Men hosted in the old stadium were us, and we flattened them, and the first team they will host in their new stadium is us. this game will just be ugly in some way

then you've got the Vikings and Saints rematch of their championship game last year, and you know Brett remembers getting absolutely battered by the Saints defense in that game so he's gonna have it out for them

besides that none of these other matchups have a unique backstory, if they have any backstory it's just division rivalry.

i was going to start this thread just now, but make it one that could run all season. :(

I've only got 5 this week. The rest of them are inconsequential.

For Min, Pit, Cle, and Was in addition to the Panthers. Almost always root against all the teams that these are playing.

I usually do that, but I have Jonathan Stewart on my fantasy team. Should I even play him? Do I really want him to score?

I'm in the same predicament my man.

I got stuck with your Steve Smith and Hakeem Nicks (reserve)

And since I decided to take some late round chances on Vincent Jackson and Sidney Rice, I'm stuck having to start one of them along side Jeremy Maclin and Larry Fitzgerald.

I NEVER play players from the opposing team of the week on my fantasy team, but in this case, I'm stuck..

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
