Martin Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I'd completely forgotten about Antonio Bryant, just shows how some players disappear without trace in the NFL. I see that the Raiders have nicked the Broncos defensive co-ordinator to be their new head coach. Seems a strange one as he's not got much experience and very young to be a head coach and although the Broncos D improved this season, they fell apart quite a lot during 6 or 7 matches too. That'll be their 7th defensive co-ordinator in 7 years, bet there's no mad Vlad headlines over there though! Wish that the Broncos offensive co-ordinator Mike McCoy had got the Dolphins job seeing that he was down to the final two. Would have been good to have got someone that wasn't as predictable.

Del1812 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) What a bargain Foster was, especially with a lot of the ones taken before him. Only have to look at my team alone. Ouch Palmer - I really hadn't followed the NFL all that closely the two previous years before suddenly deciding to hoist myself into this fantasy league and then almost immediately being "on the clock". I soon learned it was a massive reach and the guy was the not same QB I'd remembered. Grant - At the time he was one of the few rushers left on the board who was his team's sole running attack. As we know a lot of teams now adopt a committee and that didn't exist in Green Bay at the start of the 2010 season. Could have been a good pick as he looked ready for a break-out year, until he broke his ankle in the season's opener and arrived back this season in a committee, playing second-fiddle to James Starks. Witten - Clearly the best of the lot, consistently good numbers and one of the best fantasy TE's. Moss - Thought McNabb in Washingston was going to turn them into a playoff team and boost Moss' numbers. It didn't pan out. Breaston - With Boldin leaving town, gambled on Breaston's numbers shooting up similarly to the year Boldin missed half the season through injury. Turns out that plan needed Kurt Warner to be throwing him the ball. Edited January 27, 2012 by ForresterJambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Very strange appointment from the Bucs. They don't seem interested at all and I've always found it strange that there are three teams in Florida with them, Jacksonville and Miami but none in other places like Los Angeles although I know they did in the past. The Bucs and Jaguars seem to have little fanbase as well and the owners don't seem to care, even the Dolphins have been struggling to sell out their stadium as well. Palmer - I really hadn't followed the NFL all that closely the two previous years before suddenly deciding to hoist myself into this fantasy league and then almost immediately being "on the clock". I soon learned it was a massive reach and the guy was the not same QB I'd remembered. Grant - At the time he was one of the few rushers left on the board who was his team's sole running attack.

Breaston - With Boldin leaving town, gambled on Breaston's numbers shooting up similarly to the year Boldin missed half the season through injury. Turns out that plan needed Kurt Warner to be throwing him the ball. That's the frustrating thing about the league and how so much depends on the original draft and if it doesn't go well, it can take years to recover. Even more so when on paper, things looked good on paper at the start and there was good reasoning with all your picks. It was the same sort of idea with my team as well. Pierre Thomas had just come off a huge season and looked to be the Saints running back but then got injured for most of the season and then they went out and got Sproles and Ingram. I thought I would still get a few years out of Reggie Wayne but then Manning got injured and his prospects went down a lot. Boldin battled injuries as well and I didn't realise at the time just how bad Flacco was as a QB. In hindsight it was definitely better to gamble on the younger players that might have turned out well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I was having a look yesterday to see if I could work out the latest draft order after all the trades, I used the link that was put up a few weeks on our page. I wasn't too sure how ties worked when it came to the draft. Between picks 1.04 and 1.06, the Giants, Cowboys (now Seahawks) and Steelers (now Disappoint) all had records of 5-8. The Giants had the most points on 1704, Steelers 1701 and Cowboys 1572. So wasn't too sure why the Giants had the first pick at 1.04, then Cowboys, then Steelers. Any ideas?

Martin, those point totals are based on 17 weeks. If you go into the specific standings page you can choose standings at a particular week. You'll need to select as of Week 13 to get the correct points totals for the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P-Dizzle Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 It'll really depend on where they go, I can see Floyd consistently getting a lot of receptions, Wright has that explosiveness though.

Martin Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 It seems like the third QB going to be picked is Brandon Weeden and that he'll probably go in the first round. Quite surprising to see someone going into the NFL aged 28 but maybe that's better as a QB, he's probably been helped with having Blackmon as his WR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I think Ryan Tannenhill will go before Weeden. Depends on where Manning/Flynn end up, but I think Seattle might end up with Tannenhill. I can't see Weeden going in the first round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Always good to get more games on the TV. I see they've also said that every team will get a prime time match in the season, although somehow I can't see them going with something like St Louis v Jacksonville being one of the games. I know there are issues with not playing matches on a Saturday because of the college game but I would have thought Friday nights would be better than Thursdays. Another day's rest for the players and possibly better viewing figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
