I truly believe My Patriots will bounce back and go into M&T Park and beat the Ravens! My upset of the week (if you can even call it that!) is Arizona at home to beat Philly. Let me know what you guys think!
 
I need to know if I should start Hawkins, Hillis or Redman in my flex. I am leaning toward Hawkins even though it is not a PPR league.
 
Hillis is a definite no in my book so it'd be between Redman and Hawkins IMO. If it's a PPR, definitely go Hawkins but I still might lean towards Hawkins anyways because the Steelers run game has been just terrible through 2 weeks (30th in the NFL if I'm not mistaken). Hawkins may be more of a risk play due to being a receiver and not having as many guaranteed touches but I think he'syour man this week.

That would be one Hawkins Bengals WR... I would put him in... Redskins pass d-fence has not been that good so far, he might rack up some good fantasy pts today. Hillis could be an option... Saints d has also looked unsure of themselves so far. I'd go Hawkins, Hillis, Redmen in order of fantasy pts this week.

Go Bengals! ...this will be a shoot-out, how the league is going... high-scoring, but this would be above the average. RGIII's home debut... still think my Bengals can pull it out in the end by one FG or TD.

I think the Cards will take out the Eagles in a battle of some birds... I'm with you on that JL, but I think the Ravens (my ProLine says so!) will send the Pats to 1-2! If the Pats do pull it out, good for my Bengals all the same!
 
Big win by your Bungles Orvy!!! My proline is waiting on the Jets-Fins game! I need a Jets TD in the worst way!!!! Good games this am tons of surprises it's crazy! the saints might go 0-3! the Viqueens improve to 2-1 by beating the 49ers! this is why I now think Sunday Funday is my fav. day of the week!!!!
 
Vikings almost screwed over by the refs but in the end it didn't matter because the Vikings won.

But another reason to bring back the real refs. For anyone who missed it, the Vikings were running the ball to kill the clock. After Gerhart ran(or tried to), the 49ers use their 3rd and final timeout. Moments later, the 49ers throw a challenge flag(noone knew why but it ended up because of Gerhart fumble) and the refs accepts it. You can't challenge a play if you have no timeouts. Anyhow, 49ers wins the challenge, gets the ball back. Then they get their 3rd timeout back. Later on the game, they said(not sure if this is the info they got back from the refs or speculation) because the timeout and the challenge was on the same play, they decided to cancel the timeout and accept the challenge. But they said you can't do that. That's the risk you take by calling a timeout before a challenge.
 
Very surprised to see the Vikings beat San Fran. Christian Ponder looked really good.

As did Jake Locker for the Titans.

I'm liking the development of these young QB's that I'm seeing thus far in these first three weeks.
 
ya... San Fran was supposed to be my lock this week, last week it was New England, ugh Proline is evil! Yes, I called the Bengals-Skins game and the big fantasy game by Hawkins, but little else. I have Brady now... my fantasy team backup is Locker... I should have known with Brady against Baltimore... it was my chance to shake it up and throw Locker in, oh well.
 
The NFL and NFL Referees Association need to get this labor crap figured out. These refs plan suck. screwing up calls, giving teams more challenges, more timeouts mis-marking the ball. I wouldn't let these fools ref a pee wee game.

I heard a team was trying to tie it up and to stop the clock, they spiked the ball. Something happened after(maybe a penalty) and the ref told them to start the clock. The players/coaches were arguing that since they spiked the ball, the clock shouldn't start. The refs gaved them a penalty for arguing and it became a 3rd and 50 or something like that.

That was the redskins. They had a false start penalty on the play after they spiked the ball. The clock was stopped with 7 seconds left and the refs said they would do a 10 second run off that would have ended the game. the Bengals ran on the field and then they corrected the call and put the time back on the clock and gave the redskins a unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for 15 yards, plus the 5 for the false start yet walked off 25. :dizzy: so they dont know the rules and they cant add up yards.

The zebras never said that... the commentators got that wrong. They were the ones suggesting the runoff.

that said, these zebras are just miserable. HI could assemble a crew of zebras and do a better job.

I miss Ed Hochuli.

Packers screwed by the refs again!
Last play ended up being a game winning touchdown when it looked like it was interception. Also, the guy who caught the pass should have gotten a offensive pass interference call.
ALso, earlier in the game(half way into the 4th quarter or so) after the Hawks got some penalties it was 2nd and 30. Next play Sidney Rice should have been called for offensive pass interfence but the defender was called instead.
 
I only got to see the last 10 minutes of the game, but that was the worst 10 minutes of officiating I have ever seen. The Seahawks were screwed on the Packers scoring drive by the refs and all three of the penalties (the two holds against the Hawks, and the pass interference against the Packers) should not have been called.

Finally as a die hard Seahawks fan I do not believe that Tate had simultaneous possession, and he did get away with some wicked pass interference.

I hope that the league gets off whatever ridiculous stand it's on against the official and realize that the integrity of this game tonight was compromised by unqualified replacement officials.
 
What a disaster last night. I really do feel bad for the replacement refs, for them it was probably a dream come true to get a chance to work the big league and clearly it's too much for them to handle and they are getting flak from all sides. I blame the league and Roger for this mess, not the replacement referees themselves.
