What To Expect: Week 4
We are devoting more time to the television site this week since there was so much to catch up on. We’ll try to churn out a couple posts here today but it is looking unlikely. Here is what to expect from the NFL and fantasy during the first bye week of the season.
-Expect fewer games. And if you were an incompetent schmuck like myself, then you drafted two quarterbacks with the same bye week, meaning you had to drop an actual asset to acquire Brian Griese.
-Expect Roger Goodell to consider retiring upon watching the shitfest that will be the Browns-Bengals game. And if Brady Quinn plays, expect him to look respectable against one of the three worst defenses in the league (Detroit and St. Louis are probably worse) and for him to be acquired in about 90% of the fantasy leagues on Yahoo. Fantasy football players are so reactionary.
In Ohio, there is always an ongoing debate as to whose quarterback is more overrated.
-Expect Jay Cutler and Philip Rivers (your top two fantasy quarterbacks thus far) to combine for over 800 yards against Kansas City and Oakland.
-Expect the Houston-Jacksonville game to be an utter disappointment, much like both of their seasons.
-Expect St. Louis to make Trent Edwards look like John Elway, followed by Bills fans proclaiming their inevitable Superbowl victory.
-Expect New Orleans to lose to San Fransisco and for Frank Gore to continue his rebound season in superb form. Usually going into the draft, every running back that looks like a guarantee bust turns out to be just that. Willie Parker and Frank Gore are denying me this self-satisfaction and there will be hell to pay. Like scathing remarks on a website that no one reads. Yeah, take that not so overrated running backs.
-Expect Donovan McNabb to finally have his leg ripped from his body if Brian Westbrook doesn’t play.
-And finally, expect Joe Flacco to finally be brought back down to earth on Monday night against Pittsburgh. And by “back down to earth” I mean decapitated.
We almost feel obligated to post again this was so flaccid. Probably won’t be until much later though.
