Get Your Conference Championship Weekend Picks Right here! HYPE!
DaBeerz posted a topic in FFToday Board
4/4 straight up picks boys, not that last weekend was extremely difficult to predict…fine I was 2 out of 4 if you bet against the spread, KC and Arizona didn’t cover, whatever, I’m still great, shut it. This is a lengthy rant that is chock full of goodness, so prepare yourselves for the epic-ness that follows. That said, that Arizona Green Bay game was some seriously entertaining sh1t! I’ve never seen as crazy a finish as that in years! I knew Rodgers was gonna hit that hail-Mary! Then the OT coin flip thing. Then Palmer somehow hits Fitz uncovered in the open field and I’m all high off the Rodgers Hail-Mary then I’m yelling like “NOOOO!!! DON’T LET FITZ RUN FREEEEEEE IN THE OPEN FIELD!” 75 yards later they’re in scoring range. Shovel pass to Fitz for the TD to win. Wow. Damn, that’s some good football right there! Entertainin’ sh1zz, even if GB lost, least it was good. Other games went about as expected. NE looks like a juggernaut with no glaring weaknesses (Reid seriously bro, can you learn to manage a game clock after like 20 seasons?). Carolina looked pretty dominant then went to sleep in the second half. Denver barely got out of that game alive, the Steelers might have won with a bunch of backups if not for an untimely fumble by their 3rd string RB. So back to predicting winners, I’m not even gonna think too hard about my picks this week… NE (-3.0) @ DEN – This is being hyped as some sort of Brady vs. Manning bowl? Come on, Manning is all of a sudden going to become a clutch playoff QB against his nemesis? Am I hyped? No I am certainly not hyped after watching Manning derp his way to a lackluster win last week. He completed what, like 2 passes over 20 yards? Everything else was dink and dunk underneath. Manning’s passes were high, floaty and often off the mark. (Oh but he had 6 drops, so it’s not his fault!) He had 6 passes dropped because he was leading his receivers too much and too high. Manning did not pass the eye test for me, I don’t care what the stat line says. Manning’s arm is running on like 10% juice, and 90% willpower, it’s getting painful to watch him throw 10 yard floaters that feel like they have a 5 second hang time. Maybe under perfectly optimal conditions (Good pocket, time, gets his body into the throw) he can throw a decent spiral, but a lot of the time they look like dead ducks floating out of there. Defense and Field goals aren’t enough firepower to beat the Pats. NE cover and win, Eventually, your QB actually has to make a play in the playoffs to win the game, and Manning just can’t do it. Sportswriters might not be willing to hang him out to dry out of respect, but I am, he’s done, I haven’t seen him look remotely like a good playoff QB in a season and a half, and yes, I’m a huge Manning homer saying that. I predict we’ll be seeing a lot of Manning-face next week. You know the face... Anyway… Arizona @ Carolina (-3.0) – Arizona looked good on defense, but Palmer was off target on a lot of his throws, that’s a concern. In fact, Palmer looked really shaky to me, I think that finger is a big issue for him. The Panthers have a great defense, despite faltering a bit last week. I don’t think the cards have enough juice to get past Super-Cam at home. I think Carolina probably have the potential to bury Arizona, but then they have a good defense, so they may hang in there. I’d be really surprised if we’re not looking at a Patriots vs. Panthers Superbowl rematch. Then we find out if Cam is for real in the big dance. GET FOCKING HYPE cuz Super-Dabbing-Newton-Cam dethrones dreams for Beli/Brady 5 time Superbowl era! Hype boys, serious Hype. If this does turn out to be a Denver – Arizona Superbowl, I’ll be extremely surprised, I can guarantee you the league wants that Pats/Panthers matchup instead (Heisman top draft pick vs. 4 time Superbowl winner is way more marketable). Expect the refs to act accordingly to make this happen. J -
i need to pick a qb from the following: manining vs Carolina yates at indy schaub vs kc cassel vs jets i'm really worried about Eli vs carolina... not sure if i am worried enough to start yates... although that matchup is really intriguing. schaub and cassel are not factors... but just roster stashes as we play 2 qb.

I had my draft plan all set targetting ODell and Dez with my first two picks (11th of 12 man snake, 1PT PPR). Who to target, who not to draft! I was all set. And then last night's money draft went sideways very quickly. Beastmode was still available at 11. Odell and Dez taken right before me. Oh terd! Then it happened. Peyton (#1 on my don't draft list) slipped to me at the beginning of the 4th round. So like a true beleiver in the FFToday Draft Buddy, I chose #18 and then vommitted into a trash can. Why? Why? Why? Someone please wipe the dribble off my chin and tell me it's alright. :shocking: :dunno: 1st Marshawn Lynch 2nd Demaryius Thomas 3rd Latavius Murray 4th Peyton Manning 5th Davante Adams 6th C.J. Spiller 7th LeGarrette Blount 8th Charles Johnson 9th Philip Rivers 10th Alfred Blue 11th Markus Wheaton 12th Roy Helu 13th Coby Fleener 14th Carolina Panthers 15th Dan Carpenter 16th Knile Davis

So one of the leagues I'm in decided to allow teams one keeper this year. I've never done the keeper thing before so thought I would ask for some advice. Its a 12 team .5 PPR league (QB, 3 WR, 2 RB, 1WR/RB FLEX). The players I have available to keep are.... Peyton Manning = would cost me a 2nd round pick Pierre Garcon = 4th round pick TY Hilton = 5th round pick Shane Vereen = 6th round pick Jordan Cameron = 11th round pick I'm leaning towards keeping Jordan Cameron. Seems like a great value for an 11th round pick, but I'm also considering Vereen (especially after that 2 TD game Friday)...and I'm not gonna lie I've also considered Manning. If anyone has any input on this I would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks in advance!

Well I have Peyton Man-thing (My name for him) and I am a little worried about his injury hopefully not as bad as it may seem. I have Russell Wilson as my backup QB so it will be okay for me but know there are some owners who banked on Manning and did not even think injury was possible. How is everyone handling this huge Fantasy News!?!?!? What will people do about their QB situation?! I think this is bigger than Aaron Rodgers injury as in effect on players.
