Speaking of the Lions. Someone compared the signing of Suh last year to Chuck Knoll signing "Mean" Joe Greene.
I'm tending to agree.

The Lions have the best Defensive Line in football... and Nick Fairley hasn't played yet. Wait till he gets added to the mix.

Wow, that is a heck of a comparison.

I just checked and there are no Thursday night games this week.

If the Dolphins go to 0-3 I think Sparano will be the first coach to get the axe for this season.

Before game four or a little later in the season?

Having replaced our old stone age 2004 Sony with a new 2011 47" Samsung this is my first season of football in real HD. Beautiful.

Go Jets and Giants but hoping the combo of Sanchez and Burress sets some new records and provides the same excitement as Burress did on the Giants...big break for the Jets getting his talent after the Giants turned him down, Sanchez must feel like it's an early Christmas present. Lets hope they stay healthy.

Lol, stone age 2004 Sony TV. I am still watching it on the jurassic era 26 inch Sansui TV set I bought in 1983.

The Sony started out OK but began to lose it's clarity as time went on. At the end it had visible lines running through the picture and it was a crap shoot when turning it on with a few failures until there was a load snap as some component finally kicked in and you got a picture...c'mon spark...

Prices are down so much it was painless compared to buying the Sony for almost 3K.

Hmm... do I go with Bowe or Wayne this week? Decisions, decisions.

If the teams are playing one another you could always go for the tie.

JAC @ CAR Panthers
SF @ CIN Bengals
MIA @ CLE Browns
NE @ BUF Patriots
NYG @ PHI Eagles
DET @ MIN Lions
HOU @ NO Saints
DEN @ TEN Titans
NYJ @ OAK Raiders
BAL @ STL Ravens
KC @ SD Chargers
ATL @ TB Bucs
ARI @ SEA Cardinals
GB @ CHI Packers
PIT @ IND Steelers
WAS @ DAL Cowboys

I feel like I picked too many road teams to win this week. We shall see.

Lets hope the Florida Gators win again this week, and keep winning. Go Gators !!!

NFL.... mehhh. Those patsies get paid more than neurosurgeons and many act like prima donnas. The only thing worse is the foul mouthed tattooed trash in the NBA. Shame so many kids see them as role models.

I'm pretty sure SEC players get paid too LOL.

Gonna go with Wayne after doing a bit of research.

2-0 in both my fantasy leagues. Let's hope I didn't just jinx that.

Man, Snapdad, that's a tough one. What's the rest of your team like? I'm in a 12 team league and here is mine (I've got the Bowe conundrum too):

Brees, Drew QB NO
Hillis, Peyton RB CLE
McCoy, LeSean RB PHI
Bowe, Dwayne WR KC
Jackson, DeSean WR PHI
Davis, Fred TE WAS
Gostkowski, Stephen K NE
Ravens DST
-----------
Cutler, Jay QB CHI
Ingram, Mark RB NO
Williams, Cadillac RB STL
Colston, Marques WR NO
Meachem, Robert WR NO
Winslow, Kellen TE TB
Raiders DST

In the league I'm not concerned about winning this week, due to the matchup against my opponent, I have the following:

Tom Brady QB NE
Michael Turner RB ATL
Ray Rice RB BAL
Anquan Boldin WR BAL
Brandon Marshall WR MIA
A.J. Green WR CIN
Jermaine Gresham TE CIN <-- newly welcomed to my team this week. I wish him luck. Kellen Winslow is his backup.
Neil Rackers K
Green Bay DST

-------

Here's the league I'm concerned about this week.

Tom Brady QB NE
Santonio Holmes WR NYJ
Robert Meachem WR NO
Reggie Wayne WR IND
Adrian Peterson RB MIN
Frank Gore RB SF
Rob Gronkowski TE NE
David Akers K
Baltimore or New Orleans DST -- probably roll w/ Balt this week as the matchup looks more favorable.

Not too worried about QB, RB's, K, TE and DST this week, just my WR's are kind of weak here.
My replacements aren't that hot either...

Dwayne Bowe WR KC
Davone Bess WR MIA


I think I'm gonna stick with this lineup and see how it goes. They're saying that Bowe is gonna do more this week than either Meachem or Wayne, but the matchup looks unpromising (KC plays SD), and Bowe has struggled the last 6 meetings with them. Not to mention that Cassel and he have had trouble executing.
What worries me is that Wayne doesn't have Manning and Brees distributes the ball among so many people that Meachem might not get targeted as much as I want, even with Colston out.

My week 3 picks:

Regular season:

• Week 02: I went 10 and 6 for week two. I am 16 and 16 for the year. I wonder if Detroit scored all the points they are for the season in today's game.
• Week 01: I went 6 and 10 for week one. Pretty lousy way to start the season.... Chicago is going all the way to the Superbowl and winning this year.
  

Chicago is going all the way to the Superbowl and winning this year.

LOL Airdrop, that isn't to far from the truth. At least in the NFL, there is a salary cap.
