Filthy Fernadez 2,696 Posted September 23, 2010 I'm starting them with major confidence.... U? I had Miami chambered for this week at home vs Jets until Sanchez found some game vs the Pats. Then I grabbed Cincy and I'm starting them but tempering expectations. Can Carolina be that bad that DWIII and J. Stew are stymied? Dunno. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Turducken 0 Posted September 23, 2010 I had Miami chambered for this week at home vs Jets until Sanchez found some game vs the Pats. Then I grabbed Cincy and I'm starting them but tempering expectations. Can Carolina be that bad that DWIII and J. Stew are stymied? Dunno. They forced 4 turnovers against Baltimore and held them to 10 points. I think Baltimore has a better offense than Carolina. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FeelingMN 273 Posted September 23, 2010 I'm gonna try to drop SD for them.....but I'm pretty sure one of the owners ahead of me will pounce first. This game is a good matchup.....so are the next couple: @CLE and TB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Candygram4Mongo 8 Posted September 23, 2010 I was hung up between MIA and CIN too. I eventually went with the fish, since they have shown an ability to get to the QB consistently already. Cincy has just 1 sack thus far. I can see Sanchez regressing a bit, trying to keep up with Henne/Marshall and throwing some balls up for grabs. Miami is at home, too. Of course, Clausen's first NFL action leaves the Panthers ripe for the defense to pick apart. They've given up 8 sacks already. But I can see Carolina going into max protect mode, and running the ball 50 times. I haven't completely made up my mind... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gimethedamnball 2 Posted September 23, 2010 Do it. I had Miami for my flavor of the week but with the change of qb in Carolina and the way they played last week, I think they are going to go after Clauson. The only concern is that Carolina o line is HUGE so I don't know how much pressure they can put on him. I expect Cincy to put up some numbers so if Carolina is down they are going to have to air it out and an easy pick 6 could be in the cards. Cincys a solid play thi week.

pimptastic69 0 Posted September 23, 2010 Rookie QB's first game... That's honestly enough for me.. Hopefully it's different this week, but historically (last 3 or 4 seasons)the Bengals have performed poorly against rookie/1st timer QBs. Just sayin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
idiotec 31 Posted September 23, 2010 Would you guys go Cincy over NE v Buf this week? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Candygram4Mongo 8 Posted September 23, 2010 Would you guys go Cincy over NE v Buf this week? If I had the NE Defense, I wouldn't be looking at this thread. Buffalo hasn't beaten the Pats since week 1 of 2003. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bengalboy 0 Posted September 23, 2010 Hopefully it's different this week, but historically (last 3 or 4 seasons)the Bengals have performed poorly against rookie/1st timer QBs. Just sayin. True. They are 6-7 against rookie QB's in the Lewis area. But four of those loses were against Flacco and Rapistburger. Two good teams. I love the match up for the next three weeks!

thePRO 78 Posted September 23, 2010 Going with Washington DST vs. Rams! Depending on the scoring type, Redskins have still scored decently and they've given up almot 900 yards passing in 2 weeks. Then again they've gone against Dallas and Houston. I expect them to have the big game on defense they've been used to having and control the Rams to very little and get some sacks and a couple of turnovers!!

shovelheadt 62 Posted September 23, 2010 I too think Cincy is gonna do well, but I'm struggling between them and the Jets vs. Miami. If Revis was healthy, I'd roll Jets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
huskerinct 1 Posted September 23, 2010 Would you guys go Cincy over NE v Buf this week? My same dilemma here....going with NE. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jarvis Basnight 119 Posted September 23, 2010 My same dilemma here....going with NE. I think you stick with NE for sure. Better run organization that typically takes care of business. Cincy D looks too good to be true this week, which is why I think it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
murf74 461 Posted September 26, 2010 Kind of a sure thing but would feel better if they were home. I may go and pick up Wash. vs. STL just because I see them being a little more hungry after last weeks meltdown and STL passes more which means more sacks and turnovers.

MTSkiBum 1,605 Posted September 26, 2010 Cinci defense is going to be a terrible start. The rookie QB is going to make Fox come to his senses. Carolina is going to rush the ball 35 times for 275 yards and 4 scores. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BattleshipLorenzen 3 Posted September 26, 2010 Good call on the risk of CAR running all game. CIN gives up 113y/game, but 4.9 per carry. Bills played Pats very well both times last year; F.Jax tore them up. But NE def still scored well 2nd game. I may lean toward MIA. Sanchez tore up a bad NE secondary; more of a fluke I'd imagine. Though his passes did look good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cubbie5150 0 Posted September 26, 2010 I'm starting Cincy DST as well, but I truly am not expecting much. Even though HC Fox is an idiot, I tend to think he won't expose his rookie QB. Carolina will pound the rock, and Cincy isn't exactly an offensive juggernaut. Bottom line to me is that it depends on how your league scores DST. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
