I was at the game. This is usually the one game a season the Dolphins are guaranteed to turn up for...and they were pathetic. They are well and truly tanking, whatever their official line is. Either that or Flores is a double agent.We beat the fins 43-0 and our offense didn't even look that good.
Defense looked ready though. At one point we had more interception return yardage than the Dolphins had in total offense.
That said....that Dolphins team looks AWFUL, the players don't even seem interested. Tua looks like a hell of a prospect but they are going to need about 30 new players to give him a shot at not getting killed.
So now ive lost Brees and Hill and on my way to 0-2 in this league. Excellent
However, in a money league that i made up, im 2-0.
Ben Roethlisberger is out for the season with an elbow injury. Based on the way he and Mason Rudolph played last night, I'm not sure the injury is such a bad thing for Pittsburgh.
Will be interesting to see if Big Ben comes back next year if Rudolph continues to play well over the season.
While individual efforts and feats are part of any sport I wonder if the idea of 'team' is being lost among it all.
Result was all that mattered in the end last night for the Bears - crazy finish - but some really, REALLY poor officiating resulting in calls for both sides just being 'wtf' situations. Not sure if that was a new crew last night ... Tough watch.
Oh, and the Chargers either need to find a kicker (having your punter continue to kick isn't ideal) or just go for it on 4th down. How do you get beaten by the Lions?
I do really like the trade for Fitzpatrick though, strengthens their weakest defensive position for years with a player selected two years ago higher than they hopefully will pick next year.Big Ben replaced Tommy Maddox due to an elbow injury during a week 2 loss and then went onto win 15 in a row.
Quarterback out with an elbow injury: check
Week 2 loss: check
...Rudolph's winning 15 in a row!
AAAAAAAAND see ya AB. Cut.
When you're too toxic for the fucking Patriots, theres a problem.
