So you're in favor of unfair advantages, so long as they're "legal" according to the tool you're using??

Give him another year or two. -Signed, the rest of the NFC North

If the criteria for determining an MVP is the one player whose loss would be most detrimental to their team's success, Dak has made a pretty good case for himself... Wilson, Mahomes & probably Rodgers will jockey for MVP the rest of the year -- Wilson's early season could give him the edge, in the end. Ben? He's a good Comeback POY choice. I still feel it almost has to go to Alex Smith tho, on principle alone.

58th on the projections would be 3rec for 40yds range... seems pretty realistic. Brady's slinging it 38 times per game, I could see 5 of those going to Brown. Not sure I'd expect more than that his first week back, though...

Cut bait on him 3 weeks ago. He's been picked up and dropped since. (10team, 7 bench spots, PPR) I think he should be rostered but I can't feel good about starting him. I'd rather a guy on a team that's going to be behind/throwing a lot, so something like the Eagles or Phins or Texans maybe...

I survived Devante Adams earlier thanks to Herbert's big day, only to run into Murray. Now I need Jimmy Graham to save my ass with 8pts+ Great game all around though

Taking what they can get. WRs aren't getting open at all, outside one big gainer by the TE

Flipping a coin between Lindsay and David Johnson for RB3. I'm not really keen on starting guys who haven't played in 3+ weeks, though...

Two thoughts: the whole "holding penalties" argument hinges on the idea that holding penalties kill drives and thus reduce scoring. The correlate, then, would be that changes of possession would be down, lengths of drives would be up, and drives ending in scores would likewise increase. I'm don't have the answer but I'm curious to know if the above holds true (no pun intended). Second thought: there haven't been any fans at the games. (Hardly any, really). How has that impacted performance, on both the offense and defensive side? One might think false starts are down and offsides penalties (think hard-counts) would be up, also lengthening drives. Two more thoughts occurred to me: if drives are extended, teams may be reaching FG range more frequently and might take that shot; are FG attempts up over previous years? And 'the numbers' now say going for 2pts after a TD are more favorable, so are 2pt conversion attempts/successes grater also? Again, I don't have the answers, but while holding penalties may be down, it strikes me that focusing on that aspect misses a few other nuances that could explain the higher average score.

I think he could have used some receivers, tonight. And learn how to count.

PATs aren't gimmies anymore. That everyone -- scrubs, or the best of the best -- is missing them proves the point. (no pun intended)

HOU fired O'Brien today... is Quinn next?? This team looks listless...

Calling those timeouts at the end there is bad sportsmanship. Booo

Hill rolled him by one leg like an alligator after he was already down -- it looked totally unnecessary in real-time and I'm surprised the injury wasn't worse... Travis Homer looked good in relief, more than Carlos Hyde I thought, but it's hard to tell based on only a couple of plays. I'd take a flyer on Homer if I was pressed to choose.

That was a bullshit ejection
