After OAK gets their first INT of the year, Darren McFadden fumbles it right back a few plays later. That is so disheartening for a defense, to have your offense give it right back. Raider fans, I feel ya!

Oh, but talk about firsts, Matt Bryant with his first missed FG! Wow!!!

Dang, didn’t get to the stash TE and Garret had Tony Scheffler on that list, keep an eye on him. Stafford just threw one his way. Pettigrew might not ne right.

NO!!!!! Easy TD for Fleener and Luck throws it over his head. UGH! Due to byes, I’m playing Fleener in several leagues.

15 for 15! I’m gonna but a Greg Zuerlein jersey. Serious.

What up with the OAK secondary? Second INT and it’s only the 1^st quarter?

NO!! Red challenge flag on the Pussy Jones run! Not a TD on the field, but I have a feeling it will be overturned. Of course my RB got the hand off just after flag was thrown and would have scored. Hope the play stands so Jones isn’t a TD vulture.

BOO!! It was a Pussy Jones TD! :(

Tampa Bay was my bye week filler DEF, already with a pick of Brady Quinn. Not only mine, but listener Edwin G. e-mailed me earlier in the week and he was on them too!

Tony Scheffler with a red zone target. However, Matt Stafford looks horrible again today. Great for Jason Hanson owners though.

Mike Williams showed a lot of desire on that TD catch in the 1^st quarter, something we didn’t see much of last year.

I did not think Josh Gordon would be good for another long TD this week. I’ll admit it, didn’t see that coming.

I guess Trent Richardson’s knee is fine. I stayed away after his pre-season surgery. He was in my plans until then.

I don’t get the personal foul call on Maybin that negated a Cromartie TD (off an INT). Luck was part of the play and could have possibly tackled Cromartie, so he can be blocked.

Shonn Greene, I actually benched him in a Dynasty league today (only league I own him)…whoops!

Garret and I were talking last night about Tony Romo. First, I’m glad I called an audible in the draft kit and yanked him from my value play of the year (went Matt Ryan instead). Second, Garret said the Cowboys will never win a Super Bowl with Romo as their QB. Just now, with team almost in FG range and 3^rd down, Romo throws a pick.

Finally a good rushing game from DeMarco Murray and then he leaves with a foot injury. Disappointing to say the least. Then Pussy Jones gets hurt. I’ve heard of Tanner, but have no idea who RB Dunbar is on the Cowboys…he’s getting carries though.

2^nd TD for Greene today, looking awesome on my bench! Powell AND McKnight hurt for Jets.

Carson Palmer with a pick 6 with under 3 minutes to play in a tie game. HORRIBLE!!!! Oakland and Carolina have both given games away to ATL. Sucks, as Oakland was in FG range and their DEF was playing well.

All you Riverboat gamblers knew Indy would have a letdown today vs. the Jets, happens a lot after HUGE wins the previous weeks. 

As if Palmer’s pick 6 wasn’t bad enough, OAK gets a penalty that negates a good gain and first down by Moore.

You saw the real Doug Martin today. You will really see him next year when his All-Pro guard Davin Joseph is back.

I hope Garret played Josh Freeman today, it was his back-up plan for RG3.

Jeff Fisher was a GREAT hire by the Rams. Very impressed with how the team plays under him and doesn’t give up when down early. 

Wow, Palmer rebounds and leads OAK to a game tying TD.

As a Stafford owner in a key league, thank goodness for that 1 yard TD run! Better than a TD pass because those are only 4 points, rushing TD is worth 6.

Didn’t you just know Matt Bryant was going to make that 55 yard winning FG AFTER Oakland calls a timeout to ice him.

There has been some bad football today, Vick’s pick, Palmer’s pick, Romo’s pick, TB muffing a punt, but Fred Jackson fumbling on the first play of the game takes the cake. Can’t start a game that way. 

Oh, look who is back for Dallas:  _____ Jones.

Crushing blow to Ravens DEF id Lardarius Webb does have a torn ACL.

Did I jinx GeeZee?????????? I’ll still buy his jersey.

Nate Burleson with incredible focus on his TD catch, Dez Bryant could use a lesson. 

How do the Ravens not recover that on side kick????

Stafford with a big 57 yard competition to…Tony Scheffler.

Finally a big game by Jeremy Maclin.

Dan Bailey pulls it. Dallas is poorly coached. Sorry, had to be said, that final drive was mis-managed, could have got Bailey closer. Of course they wouldn’t be in this position if Dez Bryant doesn’t have his 3^rd drop of the day on the 2 point conversion.

David Akers with another missed FG this season!!?? He was so money last year, what happened? It was only a 43 yarder just now. 

Dangit, so wrong on my boy Aaron Hernandez today. I only started him in one league, thought his snaps would be limited (and so far they have been 3-11), but he came up BIG with a TD. At least he’s back! 

UCLA in the house!!! Kai Forbath with a 50 yarder!!! Do you know how much he makes for signing with the Skins in Week 6? $465,000. Not bad for a rookie kicker who didn’t play the first 5 weeks.

SUCK IT LIST:

Reggie Bush – Came up small, but Dolphins win.

Miami Dolphins – Because they didn’t use Lamar Miller, but they did win.

Steven Jackson

Trent Richardson – Looked great and then got hurt. Rib, not knee though. And after I wrote about you earlier in this post, geez!

DeMarco Murray – For getting hurt!

Dwayne Bowe – I expected more, I mean the whole game was garbage time.

Jacquizz Rodgers – For this sucky game and all the others this season!

Fred Jackson – It’s not even halftime and you are on the list!

Kevin Ogletree – UGH!!!!!!!!!!! 

Stevan Ridley

Andre Roberts – Of course you were one of my Monster picks.

Alex Smith – A bye week filler in several leagues, thanks for nothing and I mean nothing.

San Diego Chargers

END OF LIST

Now I hope Garret started RG3 instead of Freeman.

Another blow for Ravens defense, Ray Lewis torn triceps.

Finally a Jordy Nelson TD!!!

Aaron Rodgers – 6 TDs!!! Well, tat answers that!

Horrible, OPI call on Eric Decker!!!

And what a choke job by the Chargers. Goodnight A.J. Smith and Norv Turner. 

I’ve changed my mind, I don’t want a Greg Zuerlein jersey.

Pet peeve, fumbling in or near the end zone…yes I am talking about you Mike Vick! 

Thank you Ryan Kerrigan, INT for a TD! WAS was one of my bye week filler DEFs. 

Shawn Draughn, another fumble???!!!??? This gut could be a RB2 or Flex play if he didn’t fumble so much!

What is wrong with the Giants DEF this year? Not getting it down early this morning.

Reuben Randle sighting! Of course, if you were like me, you’ve already dropped him.

7:00 minutes to go in the 2^nd quarter and Jamaal Charles already has 116 yards? Baltimore Ravens showing their age.

Miami is really taking a chance with Daniel Thomas at the goaline. He got a TD this time, but it’s not a matter of if, but when he fumbles. 

I don’t see what was wrong with Nick Perry’s hit on Andrew Luck, this is football, right?

I’m not a Mendy fan, but he looks very good in the first half.

Alex Green in for Cedric Benson. Wish we were doing a podcast, he would have been mentioned in Pimp My Fantasy Ride. No, really! I have e-mail proof if needed! I wanted to add Alex Green as a $1 bid in a league I have a partner in.

Later days Billy Cundiff.

How about Reggie Wayne’s one handed grab!!!?!!!!!

Dangit, Antonio Brown with a 35 yard TD off his fingertips. 

2 of 3 Victor Cruz’s catches are for TDs so far. 

UGH!!! Jerricho Cotchery trips and doesn’t get in the end zone. Yes, Big Ben is my QB this week in several key leagues!

Adam Vinatieri should retire after this season.

A.J. Green tweaks his ankle and the CIN offense comes to a standstill. 

3 of 4 Victor Cruz’s catches go for TDs!

Andrew Luck is a gamer.

Fantasy landscapes can change fast, RGIII is down. 

Matt Cassel, later days...last season in KC?

Jamaal Charles with 33 rushing attempts thus far. He won’t last with that usage. Or, if he does, he will be out of gas when you need him most, in your play-offs.

And that is the David Wilson we all fell in love with!

BAL got real lucky with that fumble being called back, giving Flacco forward progress instead. Cost KC the game.

Miami needs a new kicker too. 

WOW!!! Indy goes up 22-21!

T.Y. Hilton with rookie mistake, fair catches a punt on the 5 yard line??!!UGH! Let it go in the end zone!!!

Who would have thought Reggie Wayne’s career high in yards (208) would have come with a rookie QB under center?

Chuck Pagano has something to smile about. 

Cam Newton is throwing off his back foot too much. Staying with Cam, another week and another shot of Cam on the sidelines with a towel over his head. It is bad body language, especially from your QB. It says don’t talk to me, leave me alone. He should be on the sidelines talking to his O-Line and WRs or looking over pictures.

How is Buffalo playing so bad? And where is that defense? Mario Williams signed for big bucks? They are making Alex Smith look like an A-Pro. 

Percy Harvin!!!!!

Champ Bailey on Brandon Lloyd, gonna be a long day for Lloyd owners.

Robert Meacham TD! I had a weird feeling about Meacham playing against his former team, so normally I would have left him off the WR rankings, but I added him at the end.

Lovin’ all the pink supporting Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Week 4 had many tough calls for people, including myself! In one high stakes league, I wanted Kevin Ogletree and my partner preferred Golden Tate. Another league, another partner wanted Christian Ponder and I wanted Jay Cutler. I had no good reason for wanting Cutler except I told him it was a gut feel.

Jackie Battle gets the start over Ryan Mathews…really? And he scores a TD just now…really?

Kaepernick with an option run for TD! Tebow, who? That is a throw it in your face call by Jim Harbaugh!

I commented in our rankings that maybe DeAngelo Wiiliams will run better with Jonathan Stewart back in the line-up. Well, he did…2^nd quarter TD.

Just the 1^st half, but 2 Jamaal Charles fumbles.

Gostkowski with 2 misses already???? I actually dropped him this week in favor of Blair Walsh. 

There have been some big hits already today. Jake Locker goes down, Harrison Smith with a mega-hit on Megatron to dislodge TD catch and Brandon Meriweather collides with teammate Aldrick Robinson during warm-ups. 

ARE YOU FREAKIN’ KIDDING ME??? ANOTHER TD PASS DROPPED BY PETTIGREW??????

Trick or Treat? How about both as Halloween comes early to St. Louis, fake FG equates to an Amendola TD!!!

Roddy White with second TD, that’s nice. Meanwhile I have Julio Jones all over the place.

HOU Defense with an INT to the house! I rarely pay much for a defense on DraftStreet, but I paid this week for HOU.

Danny Woodhead is now a TD vulture??

Who is B.Bolden and why is he taking carries away from my RB Ridley?

Ouch, that Jackie Battle TD catch hurts! Yes, I am a Matthews owner!

Another HOU INT for a TD!!!

7:35 in the 4^th quarter and Julio Jones makes his first catch. Awesome.

His name is Brandon Bolden and he just scored a TD. This brought to you by a disgruntled Ridley owner.

I’m typing this as I watch Tony Romo throw his FIFTH interception! Wow, total meltdown by the Cowboys on national TV.

Watching this game reminds me that I had an e-mail this week about dropping Witten and a post on Facebook about dropping Colston. I advised against dropping both.

So much for one of my draft kit Sleeper Defenses: Buffalo. Wrong! At least my other sleeper Defense, Seattle, is panning out.

Yes! Another week and another garbage time TD for Dwayne Bowe.

Oh, YES again!!!! Brandon Lloyd, he of only one catch so far, grabs another for a TD. Thanks!!!!!

Cam Newton, you just can’t fumble in a 28-27 game!

That was some layout by Joel Dreessen for a TD catch.

Huge win at home by the Rams.

Chris Johnson sighting. Titans lose. Don’t be fooled.

Mark Sanchez is not the answer. Tim Tebow is not the answer either. Woody needs blow this team up and do whatever he has to do in order to get another (better) USC QB.

Much has been made of Cam pouting on the sidelines this week. He didn’t pout this week, but that towel over his head is a bad look IMO.

Justin Blackmon catches a ball!!!! 

Madden Curse! As one of my partners pointed out last week (when Stafford went down), it extends to the whole team. He pointed this out again and as much as I wanted to believe Calvin Johnson would be the one to break the curse (because after NOT drafting him in every league, I finally took him when he dropped to be at the 11 hole in a FFPC Draft Experts), he is not the one to break the curse! In fact, he’s like Typhoid Mary, spreading the curse. How does DET lose to MN???

Jimmy Graham open in the middle a ton to start the game and Colston for sure pushed off on that TD. Refs missed it!

Joe Morgan 80 yard TD. I actually picked him up in a UFS keeper league this week.

Turnover after turnover in this AZ vs. Miami game.

Rob Benetti’s super-sleeper of the year, Andre Roberts, comes through again. Of course we had him on the bench in the FFFC. Garret texted me and said he picked up Roberts for $1 in the FFPC AND played him this week.

My Week 4 SUCK IT list:

Darren McFadden (this is for all the peeps who own him, not me of course).

Dennis Pitta

Denarius Moore

Rod Streater (you are being dropped in all my leagues!)

Percy Harvin (great if you get return yards & TDs)

Ryan Mathews

Brandon LaFell 

Malcolm Floyd

MJD 

Andrew Hawkins

Billy Cundiff

David Akers (I can see Cundiff missing FGs, but you???)

Chris Johnson - Because he called out his offensive line yet again!!!  Poor form.

The way I do these posts is usually mornings to night games in order…

Lance Moore TD! Good to FINALLY have one of my MONSTERS get off to a good start. As the day went on, he could have had another…but didn’t!

Justin Blackmon, grow up!!! You are playing in the NFL! He drops an easy slant pass, then head butts the defender. Luckily for Blackmon #fakerefs are still on the job and they missed it. 

Kyle Rudolph, you make the loss of Aaron Hernandez palatable.

I was making line-up changes right up to 10:00am pst. This morning was hectic!!!

I am in only one league with IDP and it starts only one player. Shout out to my “boy” Sean Lee! He’s my one player! Love his style, he brings it every play!!!

Armon Binns, anyone on him? I wasn’t really. My partner in a few FFPC leagues was all over this week. Nice call Joe C.

Luke Stocker alert! TD! I know several folks, including me, drafted him in May Draft Experts leagues. Hoping to see more of him…

Spiller down. At least he did some damage before exiting. 

My sleeper DEF was the Rams and if Bradford wouldn’t keep throwing INTs, they would actually be a good call.

I did write this: “Very impressed with how the Redskins Defense has stepped up so far after losing two key players last week.” Of course, the wheels then came off the bus. 

Redskins special teams with a huge stop of fake FG.

First, I was surprised Sunday morning when I read that Mikel Leshoure was getting the start. Second, even more surprised how hard he is running. I thought he’d need a few weeks to get up to speed. I even wrote as much on our Facebook page:

Cincy with a wildcat TD!

RG3 not pouting on the sidelines (unlike Cam). Impressed with how the rookie handles himself.

Mewelde Moore? He’s still playing???

Despite his TD catch, I’m still not a fan of T.Y. Hilton…too many drops for my liking.

Loved hearing Katy Perry’s “Firework” playing at the Super Dome during a challenge! That’s good luck for the Saint…although the refs didn’t give Moore his second TD. And ultimately it wasn’t good luck!! Arghhh, they were one of my King Of The Hill picks!!!! How could they go 0-3????? They need to play Perry’s “Circle The Drain”.

Reggie Bush out. Daniel Thomas in…fumble! Thomas will hurt more than help in Bush’s absence. Miller Time please!

When will the Jets give Bilal Powell a crack at the starting gig? Note: Maybe soon! Rex Ryan said he will be getting more looks at his Monday morning press conference.

Peyton Hillis…most of you know what I am thinking! I shouldn’t have given him a second chance…that one is on me.

Kyle Rudolph with an incredible second TD catch!!!!!! I need a Rudolph jersey!!!

Austin Collie leaves the game. Note: Out for the season.

Nate Washington! Jake Locker! Great focus on Washington’s part taking ball off the back of a defender! I told several listeners these past two weeks to hold onto Washington, Locker loves throwing TDs to him.

Now Dan Bailey gets a FG? He kicks just one last week and I would have gotten two Wins.

I have no idea what is happening with Detroit. Hats off to the Titans for defending their turf.

Brandon Pettigrew, you are SOFT!!!! Last week dropped TD pass, this week you LET a defender take the ball out of your hands???!!! So much for naming you one of my MONSTERS this week.

HAIL MARY???!!! This Ten vs. Det game is CRAZY!!!!! I’m exhausted!

Dash, Jules and Jim were all right about DMac this week:

Holding call wipes out a 37 yard catch to Eric Decker.

Larry Fitzgerald sighting…huge cheer from owners!

I put Big Ben on my do not draft list, but had a change of heart starting Labor Day weekend and took him in a NFFC draft. Next week I took him in a few FFPC draft. Glad I came to my senses!

Staying on the Steelers, kudos to all of you who drafted Mike Wallce. I stayed away from him. No doubt you folks got good value on him. 

Ryan Williams with a big run for a 1^st down. Made a nice cut to get free. His play in this game is a huge confidence builder, especially coming off the past week (fumble). 

The thumbs up from Darrius Heyward-Bey as he was carted off was the best thing I saw all day.

Welker and Edelman on the field at the same time at the start of the game.

I don’t like Brady’s facial hair.

Oh, before I forget, Chris Johnson with another sub-par performance. Obviously it is not his fault!!!! Here is what I wrote to a CJ apologist on FB earlier in the week:

Seems each week Brady is either a few inches off or his WRs don’t hang on. Edelman with a TD pass off his hands.

My SUCK IT! List this week:

DeAngelo Williams

Jay Cutler

Brandon Pettigrew

Peyton Hillis

Greg Little

LeSean McCoy

Antonio Gates

Philip Rivers

Vincent Jackson

The NFL for not having this labor dispute with the REAL refs settled.

Torrey Smith honored his brother with a tremendous game, I don’t know how he did, how he fought through his emotions, but he did his brother’s memory proud.
