NFL announcing today that starting next weekend, they will start suspending players for helmet to helmet hits, not just fining them.

Another week where my starters struggled and my bench was immense. Grrr.

The Dolphins were robbed. :-( What can you expect when the head offical is from Pittsburgh...

In America we don't live in constant fear that the ref is out to get us, so it doesn't matter where he's from.

It was the right call by the rule that was introduced in 2009 after Hochuli blew the San Diego/Denver game in 2008.

I was only joking about the Pittsburgh thing.

I don't really know all the rules so I could be talking rubbish. He made the right call in the sense that he wasn't 100 % certain that the Dolphins had the ball. But it was pretty obvious they had it because a few of their players fell on the ball and one of them came up with it. My main gripe is that they called a TD so quickly. It was a tight decision, towards the end of the game and it was always going to be challenged. If they waited until someone came up with the ball, they could have then signalled a TD or whatever and the Dolphins would have gotten what they deserved after the challenge.

Titans claim Moss off waivers. They were 22nd on the waiver claim list. Thought someone ahead of them would have put in a claim.

Merrimen is gone to the Bills too.

I cannot believe we got Moss.

We never make moves for big name, difficult players.

If he can play nice, we have a very dangerous offense.

VY, CJ2K, Britt and Moss.

Chalked up my first fantasy win since week 1 this week - it's been a disaster for me all season, I've not had a terrible week in terms of scoring, it's always been 75 plus but I've always come up against someone with a player or two on fire, whilst mine stubbornly refuse to go off. Ray Rice and Peyton Hillis fixed that rather emphatically this week, and I'm also finding Josh Freeman to be a much more reliable fantasy QB than either Favre or Cutler!

Won by one point this week(unless things change). My opponent had T.O playing last night and I wasn't sure how much I was ahead heading into the game and when he had a big game I was fearing the worse. Thankfully I got the win and it's three in a row for me.

Still can't get enough TDs from anyone other than my QB. Only one TD combined for my WR, TE and RB this week. Thankfully Rodgers was playing the Cowboys and Janikowski is getting into double figures nearly every week. Rodgers is on a bye this week and I picked up Stafford last week to cover for him, but he's questionable for the game and said he doesn't think he'll play. :|

I chose Sidney Rice over Steve Johnson and missed out on 26 points.

After a terrible start to the season mainly due to Brett Favre and Ryan Mathews, I've begun to go on a winning streak - picking Josh Freeman and Peyton Hillis off the waiver wire early in the season has really saved me, albeit a little too late for it to matter much...

9-3! Just need the Pats and Jets to fuck up and we've got home field advantage for the playoffs.
