  • Cutler concussed. Done for the night (actually, probably a blessing).

    A huge -2.32 points for the Vicious Rabbits. Nice. Oh well, I knew Cutler would be feast or famine. Since my backup is Favre (bye), it's not like I had an option.

    BTW -- I actually have had a QB with a negative score before -- three times now. All have involved injuries.

    BTBTW -- Congrats Koy.

    • I had a QB give me a negative score a few years ago in an Apolyton league. Kerry Collins in his first year with the Titans when Vince was a rookie. I had picked up Collins when my starter Trent Green went down with a concussion (I think he gave me like 2 points before getting concussed).

      • At this point, I'm just hoping Urlacher can make enough tackles to get me to 100 pts. Doesn't look like Forte will be contributing; that would require blocking.

          Not that I need to give Ben more of a reason for his LT mancrush, but... I'm very glad I drafted him. Check out points for this week in D/ST:

          Arrian Foster - 32.20
          LT - 29.00
          MJD - 25.10
          Frank Gore - 17.20
          Steven Jackson - 13.90
          Michael Turner - 9.30
          Chris Johnson - 4.90
          Matt Forte - 4.30
          Ray Rice - 3.40

          Arrian Foster putting everyone to shame though! Wow!

          Before this week, LT was the 17th best RB in our league (by points), after this week he'll be top 10 (maybe top 5) for sure.

          • I said take Bears and Under. I didn't count on 10 sacks by the Giants. I don't want to offend any Bears fans, but I wouldn't play QB for them for any amount of money. Too many Look out plays. The ball is snapped, the play progresses and a OL yells "LOOK OUT!".

            • They were whiffing on blocks even in max protect. It was a total embarrassment. I'm sure the Cowboys and Packers were at home saying, 'how the hell did we lose to those guys???'

              • Collins was 10-10 as a Starter over 16 years. We're talking about a dude that's had it made, until tonight.

                • Collins has an incredible retirement plan with with so many years of service. He should consider that.

                  Another great stat from tonight -- Collins threw his first interceptions since... 1997.
                  13 years between INTs must be some kind of record.

                      Seriously. I haven't seen any Bears games til tonight and I am shocked that this team was 3-0 and beat the Packers and over-hyped Cowboys. I saw absolutely no D except in turnovers (the Giants could run and pass all over them but the turnovers prevented a blowout; turnovers which may have to do more with the fact that the Giants have had 3+ turnovers in every game this season so it's less about the Bears D)... Matt Forte? What was all the hype about? Jay Cutler was supposed to be playing great football but I saw nothing even remotely resembling The Greatest Show on Turf. The team got their first first down with Caleb Hanie under center!

                      I'm thinking all these wins had a lot less to do with the Bears and a lot more to do with Calvin Johnson's dumb missed TD, the Cowboys having been retarded so far this season, and the Packers destroying themselves with penalties.

                      The Bears could take a big slide now especially if Cutler's and Collin's injuries are serious enough to miss some time. Looked like both had concussions and they could probably both be out next week if Kolb's concussion was any precedence.

                      They are so very lucky they play Jimmy Clausen's Panthers next week but I'm expecting 250 yards rushing between Deangelo Williams and Jonathon Stewart the way Bradshaw and Jacobs ran all over this highly-touted Run D. That could very well be a winning formula for Carolina.

                      191 yards rushing between Bradshaw and Jacobs and a 6.58 yard per carry average. Holy crap. What is Adrian Peterson going to do against them TWICE this year?!

                      Also has to make you wonder just how terrible Brandon Jackson and the Cowboys' RBs are.

                      • Can you not say anything about Dallas without throwing in a slur? Would you like to bet some money on your precious Giants? Brandon Jacobs pouts like a 12 year old child, and there's no reason. He sucks. He's been in steady decline, but still whimpers. The pieceof**** is lucky he's playing.

                          The Cowboys have been retarded so far this season. We all know it. Fine, they seemed to get things back together against Houston but the other two games? They have the talent to play better but they aren't. That's retarded to me.

                          The Giants are the same way. The D is playing well, the running game is there, the passing game is fantastic... but the Giants keep giving up turnovers and getting stupid penalties... the Colts game was retarded play-calling and the Titans game, the Giants just self-destructed.

                          The Giants are in the same boat as the Cowboys.

                          • If you're trying to rub my nose in the Cowboys poor play so far, it's a wasted effort. I've already been disgusted.

                              At least the Giants can beat the Bears
