    as you said, bills need weapons on offense and they gotta figure out if josh allen is good enough to be there for years and years. but the defense is carrying the bills and they are certainly one of the surprises of the year. happy for you guys. fans deserve a winning squad.

    i think thielens injury isn't serious. but he's likely gonna be out vs the redskins on thursday. nfc has a lot of tough squads, but i like our chances because we're running the ball effectively. having balance will take pressure off cousins.

    Thanks, ya it’s nice for. Change to see the team you support be decent after 20 years of losing...they get a sweet schedule next few weeks at home that they have to take advantage of...get eagles, redskins, broncos at home, got to secure Ws

    That’s good that Thielen isn’t out for long and you get redskins on a short week helps

    Just saw your schedule...tough month coming up...@KC, @ DAL, @SEA in the next month...but then you got the division coming to your home which is great leading into play-offs which is a gift. Det, gb, chi all have to go to to Min...seeding determined during those games...

    I’ll never take zans then go on a betting site in my life again. Haven’t had zans in probably over a year. I thought the patriots s----d enough and the Jets were going to start playing good every week, and put $250 on them beating the patriots. Now I hate the patriots even more. Trying to think the money the pats cost me the past 4 or 5 years, they probably made me lose 830$ to 950, after doing some brief math.

    It’s not f---ing funny boos. I wasted some of my f---ing money because of this cheating franchise who admits to finding any loophole to their advantage.

    d--- Wentz is being destroyed on Colin Cowherd’s show. Both high profile analysts said when Foles won them the Super Bowl. They had a team to maybe go back another few years. You messed up the offense by getting rid of him and starting Wentz. I do agree with this, a team would have offered a great package for Wentz. And you would have been able to highly upgrade your offense or defense with Foles. Ik most eagles fans won’t agree with that, but it’s the truth. Now if it was a rebuilding team, they said they would go with Wentz. But not on a team where they beat the patriots in the SB and Foles played lights out.

    One question for fantasy football people here ( @TimmyT @Kon ) I obviously have John Brown and Robert Woods starting over Odell. And I compared them on Fantasy Pros and the site had them to start over Odell. However, for my flex I was still going to risk Odell. But he’s playing the patriots defense and if Gilmore is on him, the only points Odell will get is a small screen pass or something like that. I have Golden Tate I can play as my flex instead of Odell or Mike Williams. Fantasy pros did say risk Odell over Tate. I know Tate will at least catch me 5-10 passes. To where Baker may not even look Odell’s way first half. And we know how Odell can be. He’ll be pissed and won’t even try 2nd half. I have Tate in for now as my flex. I could also risk Singletary for my flex or Cohen. What would you guys do? And pros has Tate ranked above Mike Williams btw

    hopefully the vikings don't overlook the Skins just because they're having a bad year. Peterson and Keenum returning to Minnesota should be interesting.

    I would play Odell

    I almost always start the star player @dna hits , otherwise I wouldn't draft him..I'd go with Odell as well. My manager benched Aaron Rodgers this past week to start Dak cuz he's a cowboys fan I guess, and I thought he was an idiot for it tbh..You don't bench Rodgers, wtf..dude lost his fantasy match up cuz of it. I know Beckham isn't exactly at the same level, but still I'd start him..although I haven't really looked or compared any numbers so my opinion probably isn't worth much.

    Anyways I'm in Minnesota bout to head to the vikings game tonight, 1st time at the new stadium..wooo! Gonna be fun.

    I figured you say this. But think of this in a fantasy pros head Timmy. Beckham who hasn’t had good stats in like 3 years is playing the best passing defense in the league. Beckham played some lame teams, and he only got 2-5 points this year. He had like one 20 point game. And he has the worst starting qb I can think of throwing him the ball against a elite defense (lmao at @Enigma calling him a top 10 qb and a future star. And the browns having the most talented offense in the league. Thank goodness the browns band wagon jumpers got real quiet, real quick.) And idk if I’d even call Odell a star player in 2019, after having some really s-----y years. I still think he has the potential to be a top 7-5 WR, if he went to a team with a good qb.

    To where Golden Tate is confirmed to be playing in the slot position this week. Sterling is out. Jones is going to have to force him the ball. I just trust Tate getting 7-12 targets to where I could see Odell only getting 1-2 balls thrown at him. I ended up putting Tate in as my flex. After listening to start them or bench them a most viewed fantasy YouTube channel. And a pay fantasy ranking site doesn’t have Odell in the top 25 this week. Can you think of any decent receivers that someone would trade for Odell? Cooper was denied. Kupp was denied. But at the same time, I’m not getting rid of Odell just to get rid of him either you know. I still have other solid starting WR’s that i can play Odell on a bye week. And when browns play a weak secondary.

    Also a potential fantasy tip for people who could use possibly a solid WR. The patriots put Gordon on IR. But they can only keep him on IR for like 2 more weeks then will have to release him. Don’t be surprised if a good team making a playoff push ends up picking Gordon up. You can get him off waivers now unless the owners kept him. I picked him up in one league. Like him going to the 49ers could be a great move. Maybe the Giants. h--- as a Steelers fan i said I’d be happy having Gordon. Teams will double cover JuJu leaving Gordon more wide open. Also surely everyone tried picking up Ty Johnson. He’ll be a huge pickup to replace Johnson for his IR injury. And If you’re in a s-----y league with no fantasy veterans, make sure John Brown (bills wr) isn’t on the waivers. He gets over 10 points every week and had me like 22 points last week.

    @Boos vs. @Detroit24

    Eagles vs. Bills. This is one of the better matchups of the week IMO. Bills only have 1 loss but get no respect. This is their chance to show people they’re real. On the other hand, Eagles have struggled but are far from out of the race because of their division

    I’m excited for this one. This is what I’m gonna watch tomorrow being that my Vikes have already played

    What are each of your thoughts on this game?

    Make or break game for the rest of the season. Not expecting a win though. But we’ll see what this team is made of tomorrow. The bills don’t necessarily scare me, but their defense is legit. If our defense can play better, which is think they can because I’m not sold on josh Allen, then it should be a close one.

    I agree, this will be a close game. Philly Secondary vs Josh Allen will determine the out come in my opinion...philly is dangerous and I think will finish the 2nd half of the season strong...Dallas L was disappointing performance, would be shocked if they don’t play well in Buffalo

    Bills @ home is huge..I think our D gets a couple turnovers...give josh Allen good field position to get points on the board... and we pull out a close 24-21 victory...

    It’s good to see you realize you lost another sports argument to me and admitting to it. I respect you for that.

    just curious since you’re a big cowboys fan, let’s say they lose first round of the playoffs if they win the division. I think their only threat is the giants at this point. Do you think Dak will understand he’s not worth over 32 million? I could see him falling out with Jones. Or would you rather them just sign him for what he wants. They work on their line in the offseason. Keep Dak from getting crushed. Improve their defense some. And I would think they would be a NFC threat tbh. They already have one of the best running backs in the league, and Cooper and Dak click really well. Once the patriots release josh Gordon, I wonder if cowboys will go for him. I hope the Steelers do, but they won’t.
