Mariota or Manning? I'm benching Luck.

Manning at home vs Detroit or Mariota on the road vs the Chiefs?

 

I think everyones initial gut feeling is to play Eli, but I think Marcus could have a really good game.

 

Thoughts?

I don't think I trust Mariota enough yet to trust him over Luck and Eli. So I would go with Eli.

Actually I would probably start Luck if healthy.

So many negative things for Luck this week. I think he is gonna get killed.

Just wanted to mention what a trip it is to see Luck and Manning together in the topic title.

 

I felt like I was in the wayback machine - until I remembered Eli.

 

Doh-eth!

I would have to go with Eli.

I wouldn't blame you if you played Eli.

Man do I agree with you. Three starting O-linemen and Moncrief are out. Allen is questionable and they are playing Minnesota so I'm benching him for Mariota. The only thing I don't like about Mariota's match up is he playing in the cold.

Eli

[BTL99]

Great input. Still deciding. Thanks.

Mariota at KC is brutal in that weather in that field I think. As much as it sucks, I would play Eli.

 

I dropped Stafford and picked up Flacco for this week's playoff game which scares the outta me. And I'm leaving Mariota on my bench and will use him next week either in the finals or for 3rd/4th place.

 

Ugh

I just asked Alexa what's the temperature for tomorrow in KC and she said a high of 13 and a low of 6. That's worst than playing in Green Bay. I'm having 2nd thoughts about starting Mariota.

Based on weather for mariota and eli, i would go with luck and not think twice.

[thegame]

I've got bith Mariotta and smith pa,hung in those same hellish conditions. Think I'll stay with Luck and his talent at least in a dome.

[BTL99]

Damn man, you guys got me second guessing my decision to bench Luck because of that bad weather.

 

I can't decide. So frustrating.

[Loaded Box]

Haha, yea this thread has me reconsidering my use of Mariota as well. Unfortunately I'd have to turn to Bortles in that league. But ya, you may want to consider throwing Luck back into your starting lineup

[BTL99]

Going with Eli as of now.

[BTL99]

The weather in New York is actually the worst of all the games. This suckssssssss

[fanfootballtn]

I went with Luck when I saw the pregame show footage. It looks really cold and I think the Titans are going to exotically smash mouth them today. Mariota is a Hawaii guy and said this is the coldest game he has ever played. Look at what the weather did to David Carr at KC.

[fanfootballtn]

OMG Mariota is having a brutal game -1.04 in my league and Luck with 14.80.

Can't believe how bad the Colts beat up the Vikings.

 

God Bless and Merry Christmas
