MNF - Packers @ Eagles Fantasy Game Thread

[averagejoe]

1. The Packers were throttled, 42-24, by the Redskins at FedEx Field in Week 11, dropping to 4-6 on the season -- their worst record through 10 games since beginning 2005 with a mark of 2-8. Green Bay has lost four straight games for the first time since a five-game skid in 2008.
2. Philadelphia lost, 26-15, in Seattle last Sunday, dropping to 2-5 since beginning the season with three straight victories. The Eagles are 0-5 when allowing more than 15 points in 2016 -- fourth worst in the league.
3. The Packers stomped the Eagles, 53-20, the last time these clubs played in 2014 (Week 11 at Lambeau Field), and have won three of the last four meetings overall. The last time Philadelphia allowed more than 53 points in a single game was in a 62-10 loss to the Giants in 1972.
4. Aaron Rodgers threw for 351 yards and three touchdowns (0 INT) last Sunday night, recording his eighth career performance with 350+ yards and three or more TD (4-4 record in those games). Dating to Week 9 last season, Rodgers has at least one scoring toss in a career-high tying 19 straight games -- the longest active streak in the league.
5. Carson Wentz was picked off twice by the Seahawks in Week 11, and has now thrown six interceptions in his last five games (had one INT in first five career games). Wentz is 4-0 in his first four career starts at Lincoln Financial Field.
6. Green Bay has never made the playoffs when starting a season 4-6 or worse through 10 games (24 such seasons all-time). Philadelphia has started a season 5-5 or worse through 10 games 52 times in franchise history, making the playoffs just four times (1978, 1988, 2006 and 2013).

Some needs close to home:

Here we go!

Prediction: Ertz goes nuts and scores 20; Steelers loses by .04 points!

Chef sits back and listens to a selection of fine music:

Everybody Ertz - R.E.M.
Ertz So Good - John Mellancamp
Ertz Don't Know When to Quit - Rissi Palmer
Ertz Like Heaven - Coldplay
Love Ertz - Nazareth
Why Does It Ertz When I Pee? - Frank Zappa

Oh, that crazy Zappa!

Joe: Need 18 points from Sturgis. That's what? three 40-yarders, a 50-yarder and couple extra points.

Ram needs 25.4 from Jordy Nelson.

I have a 20.6 point lead on bandit. I'm done complaining about my start/sit/add decisions. Bandit has left Freeman and Sanders and 42 points on his bench.

Still don't feel comfortable at all. Rodgers vs DGB

Lefty needs 33.5 from Jordan Matthews.

have a lot more money involved in I need Rodgers to have an okay day, but not a great one. So, I might lose, but it will be with a smile on my face

 

[TKOSpikes]

Not quite Falcons/Saints, but it will be fun..... until halftime.

 

[averagejoe]

Forgot about a commitment I had. I may miss the first quarter.
I just did this to see Chef's comments anyway.

 

[Sam Sportboy]

Well, I need a repeat of 2014 and a Jordy TD plus 60 yards..............could probably use an Eagles D/Special Teams TD for another league too.............

 

[DJ]

I need 19.15 FF points from Rodgers to win my matchup.

You might be disappointed, Joe...I'm very tired and kinda semi-twisted my ankle at work today.

It really Ertz.

 

[TKOSpikes]

As I said, fun until halftime.

Drafted Adams in the 4th round last year ahead of Hopkins. Where was this?

 

[Chef99]

I will say this: that second TD pass to Adams was a thing of beauty.

Is there such a thing as perfect? Rodgers got as close as one can get with that pass.

 

[averagejoe]

Knowing what I need and seeing what I'm getting.... it Ertz.

 

[TKOSpikes]

Here comes the go ahead.... can DGB bring me back?

 

[averagejoe]

Hate that penalty.
Blocking down field by a WR.

 

[Sam Sportboy]

Damn, I need a Jordy 30 yard catch and a GB TD! Keep the season alive Jordy!

 

[jeffro151]

Clearly pushed off.

 

[jeffro151]

Need 2.29 from Wentz. Grrrr

 

[jeffro151]

Wentz is a fucking statue.
