NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

[tlance]

Based on what though? The only loss is at MLB and they have everyone else back healthy other than Von Miller, who could return week 5. Adding Floyd already paying dividends to bridge that gap to Von's return. Their new MLB Bernard tied for game high with 11 tackles (Reed).

With ARod down, where did any of the Jets/Dolphins/Patriots really improve? Pats with an actual OC?

Regardless, Josh is an elite QB. He had a bad game, just like he did at the Jets last year (lost 20-17, no passing TDs (but 2 rushing), 2 INT, sacked 5 times, etc). It's a bad matchup for Josh and Buffalo.

Not my opinion.

Just repeating what I have heard others say.

Still need to see what happens when they play a good team, but this backs up what I've said about USC's defense so far.

Any of you guys and girls do survivor pools?

Looking for some feedback. I used the Commanders last week.

1. Giants- when a team that has aspirations gets embarrassed like that and they have a lackluster Cardinals actively tanking on deck to right the ship, I think that’s a great spot. Last week’s play was a fade of the Cardinals. They just look inadequate. I’m not calling the Giants the same deal. If you watched the game, they just were swarmed by team speed. The Cardinals don’t play defense that way.
2. Niners over the Rams
3. Cowboys over the Jets

I think Cowboys and Niners are complete sure things (as sure thingy as you can get in the home of the bad beats…the NFL) but they’re going to be that ace in the hole when the season gets late and there are nothing but 50/50 games left on your ledger.

I picked the giants in my survivor league

So probably don’t pick them

Not in any survivor pools this year but my top 3 targets for this week would be the following assuming you want to save top teams for later:

Broncos
Giants
Lions or Bills

My strategy is to take the no brainer the first few weeks. It’s called survivor for a reason. I’ll likely take the Bills this week. At some point soon though I will be looking at all the weeks and making notes. Doing this you will see that there are some weeks down the road that there is a single obvious choice.

that is the smart play.

Like i said, I took the Giants....

Only thing I don’t like about that is they are on the road, they should win though. I’m going to look later, I think the Eagles are a virtual lock as well. Anyone think the Chiefs will go 0-2? Doubtful.

[The Q]

My mom did the same…

 

[thunderc]

Yeah the guy doesn’t have the team for that this year, he’s just helping Colorado take this another week.

I gave up on those, am simply terrible at them. I either try to be too cute and pick bad teams with good matchups early or take favorites that end up losing it seems. Was just donating money lol.

The Steelers' starting LT Okorafor was PFF's worst graded lineman in week 1. He got hurt late in the 4th and Jones subbed in for 4 snaps. Jones hadn't beat out Okorafor, so I'm not sure he would've been starting for the Jets either.

 

[dtgold88]

Yep.

And at some point it just isn’t worth it.

As much as I am sure he wants to prove the Packers wrong, I bet he also doesn’t want to prove them right by coming back and playing poorly.

$38 mil reasons to come back.....guaranteed but not sure what he gets if healthy enough to play but chooses not to.

MN seems to play a lot of close games so not sure I'd call Philly a lock.

Plus, might want them next week at home vs. Washington (though haven't looked at rest of those games).
