No, the flex schedualing is the worst thing they ever came up with!

Tell that to every fantasy player who started him this week. Admittedly, even I felt a slight twinge of temptation to pick him up from FA, but refrained from doing so.

Right, you'd rather watch a 62-7 thriller?

No kidding! The Sunday and Monday night games are the only ones I truly get to watch the whole game and so far this year most have been a bomb.

I think the Monday night games moving forward are all real stinkers.

Lets say it's....The Skins and the Cowboys and one of the 2 teams stinks but you have planned since the scheduale came out to take the day off and get ready for the game....then bam flex!!!Now you have Tebow and Miami.....Nope sorry leave the scheduale just as it reads,to move games isn't faire to the fans of those teams.

It's not "and then bam flex", it's "two weeks before Gameday its flexed so you have plenty of time to prepare for it."

So if Beck would have gotten injured yesterday, who would be our QB for the rest of the game?

[quote=Lotus;851747]Even Saints fans were calling for a merciful quick end to the game.[/quote]

The only thing that kept me tuned in to that game was the fact I had Brees & Sproles on one of my fantasy teams. Needless to say it was a good night.

[quote=Stuck in TX;851648]once again a Cowboy is the greatest player in the NFL according to the guys on TV. DeMarco Murray had a great game against a piss poor rushing defense and you would think he is in the running for MVP[/quote]
Say what you want, but Murray has one start under his belt and already has more rushing yards for the entire season thus far than any RB on the Redskins roster.

And I downplay the performance a bit simply because he was going against an abysmal rush defense. But putting up 253 against ANY professional team is worth mentioning.

That was a special performance by Murray. Rarely do you see 200+ yards in the pro game. Jones better get healthy in a hurry.

Still, there isn't much room to say to a Cowpukes fan "oh, it's only the Rams" about Dallas' win, when we barely beat the Rams.

Updates on some old Redskins:

Leigh Torrence had an INT for a TD yesterday.

Also, Chris Clemons continues to have a nice career with the Seahawks.

So just becuase you think 2 weeks is enough time we all suffer,BS.Say I'm a Skins fan flying to Dallas to the game....everything I have says it's a Monday night game ,BAM now in two weeks I have to see if I can change things to a Sunday and pay extra fees for doing it ,cry if you want but it screws the fans of those teams big time.

Monday Night is definitely a different story, but only an extremely lazy person would complain that two weeks isn't enough time to change plans. And who said it would be 2 weeks if they did start flexing MNF games? Maybe they'd change it to 3 weeks to give fans more time to prepare.

And personally I wouldn't do it the whole season. I'd make weeks 1-5 non-flexable, and base those first five weeks on teams who had major success last season. Then 6-17 could be flexed, and since it would be 3 weeks prior the first 3 flex games would be a good opportunity for teams that start the season hot. After that it should be easier as the season goes along because you get a better idea of the best matchups week to week.

But I definitely agree the way it currently works sucks. Nobody wanted to watch a Peyton-less Colts team get blown out by the Saints last night, and nobody will want to watch a shitty Jags team potentially get blown out by the Ravens tonight.

Re: Around the NFL Week 7
 

Ravens are getting Owned by Jags D

If the Jags had an offensive line they'd be up by more points, but still a good showing for the LA Jags.
