m0nty: They can't pull off schedules like that because of how annoying the market lockdowns work. I mean, for fuck's sake, they'll black a game out so you can't even watch it locally if they don't sell enough tickets.

The networks make me want to scream when it comes to watching football live. I have to resort to watching streams for most of the games I want because there's no other viable options.

Also, Giants lose another defensive starter to a torn ACL, looks like Goff's out for the season.

The Giants D/ST have no linebackers, mediocre secondary, but a pretty good line even with Umineora out for now. On the offense they have no TE, but other than that they're competent and will go as far as Eli will let them. I can see it being a long season or a fun one.

Not to forget that Eli's interceptions have to regress to the mean this year, because that was just flukey last year.

I don't really know what you mean by that because I don't care enough about Eli to know whether he threw a lot of INTs or a little, but no he doesn't. Sometimes guys get better (or worse) later in their career.

I'm not any kind of Eli Manning supporter. I just know he had an inflated INT stat through multiple faults of his receivers, not because he was making bad decisions.

This is off the top of my head, at least. It's been a while since I looked at it.

That was a fun opening to the season for sure.

With two more teams, there sure are a lot less free agents of worth sitting around. Going to make the trades and waiver wire pick ups very important this year.

You want Tate, Perkins? Make an offer.

Well...I don't have much, just a lot of could bes. I have Sanchez, Starks, Issac Redman, and Antonio Brown up for trade.

If I can't get Tate, I'll have to settle for whatever I can get on the waivers, which is nice, since it looks like there might be some gems out there, especially after week one.

Oh, and if somehow, the 'fins could keep Brady in check tonight, I'd REALLY appreciate that.

Guh? I don't have BenJarvus, I have Welker and the Miami Kicker, and I need seven more points to tie.

And oh boy, now I have to figure out what to do with Steve Smith. Again. Offers?

Oh and damn you stat nerds. I lost the 100 yard rush bonus for Vick thanks to the kneel downs at the end of the game. I wouldn't have to sweat it if it wasn't for that.

Yeah, said the wrong Pat since another league I'm just up against him.

But thanks Welker for giving me the death blow!

For fun, my playoff predictions. I'm bullish on the NFC North this year, except for one notable team... you know, mine.

AFC East : Patriots
AFC North: Ravens
AFC South: Texans
AFC West : Chargers
AFC Wild : Jets, Steelers

NFC East : Eagles
NFC North: Packers
NFC South: Saints
NFC West : Rams
NFC Wild : Bears, Lions

The PCFFL Coach's Armchair Week 1

Welcome back friends to the PCFFL Armchair. The rookies got a nice PCFFL welcome by losing their openers. This isn’t a game for the weak and timid. Post lockout, offenses ruled the roost for the most part, with some records being broken. Cam Newton set a rookie record with 400+ yards in a debut, Brady threw for 500+ and there were a 8 kicks returned for touchdowns. Ridiculous. Conventional wisdom is that it’ll take defenses another week or two to get to full steam so playing those D/STs will be a dice roll. Get your tums ready, it’s going to be a wild ride. On to the show.

Weekly Recap
NJ vs. BOS -- Brees (34), Hightower (10.5) and McFadden (13.5) oh my. Those three combined for 58 of the Devils’ 72.5 points in beating the Leet Doodz. Early season favorite Doodz didn’t get anything from QB Ryan (9) and will need him to step up. In a week that saw QBs throwing TDs left and right this has to be a concern for Boston. The top scorer for Boston was Miles Austin with 10.5 points (followed by K Folk at 10).

AUS vs. SF -- Poor, poor CGI Robots. It appears that they shot first and the not-a-Redbeards wiped the floor with them. Starting Schaub against the Manning-less Colts sounds like a great idea, but even though the Texas wiped the floor with them Schaub only got 6 points while Ryan Fitzpatrick’s 28 points sat on the bench. Take solace with the fact that it wouldn’t have been enough anyway to be the not-a-Redbeards and their weekly winning 107.5 points. m0nty had 3 players in the 20’s (Brees, McCoy and Tolbert) that would have been almost enough to beat the Robots. The commish has had a run of awful luck in recent years, so for all ours sake here’s hoping that it changes quick.

ATX vs. DETH -- The Arkansas TD’s entered Monday night leading the Blaha’s and had the pleasure of watching that lead evaporate into a blowout loss while watching Wes Welker scamper 99 yards for a score. Welkers 26 points led the Blaha’s and provided the welcome wagon for the TDs. Kenny Britt led the TDs with 24.5 points.

UTA vs. POU -- The TD’s weren’t the only team in the line of the Monday night buzzsaw as the Marinos were socked by QB Tom Brady and his 41 points that were almost half of the Teen Brides 97.5 point total. A 25 point led, while not a sure thing against Brady, must have felt comfortable. Instead it was a 15 point loss for the Marinos which spoiled a 28 point game from Matt “Glass Shoulder” Stafford.

PIT vs. ARI -- It was awfully early for a Toilet Bowl, but this game was it as the Outlaws lucked out in facing the only team in the league they could have beaten this week. Big Ben’s Boners made a big boner of their own by making the rookie mistake of starting a QB (or any offensive stud) against their D/ST. It’s an inherently points limiting move which directly caused the Boners to lose. Consider this, if Big Ben threw 300 yard and 2 TD’s that would have been 22 points but the Raven’s D/ST would have been 0. Any turnovers offset each other and it’s a waste. Instead the Boners saw Flacco’s 22 points ride the pine. The Outlaws got luck autopicking Rodgers and got 30 points from him, but the rest of the team totaled 22 points which was only 6.5 better than the Boners. Both are going to have to improve next week if they want to avoid a long year in the PCFFL.

VAN-L vs. VAN-S -- Cripes, can either of these fuckers change their name? It was kinda-sorta-amusing when they were in different towns, but now is just annoying. The ElDubyaEff Rough Riders had two players in the 20’s (Ray Rice and Tony Romo) to lead them to a division win over crosstown rivals the Roughriders. The good news for the Roughriders is that Kolb appears to be for real as he led them with 23 points, but the bad news is that there isn’t anyone else on the team that can keep pace with him. Reggie Wayne somehow got 17 points in the drubbing aginst the Texans, and the only other player in double digits was the Jets D/ST.

Coach of the Week

This is an excruciating tough call to make, but one must recognize the Coach of the week regardless of one’s disposition. Therefore, I award this week’s award to the defending champion, m0nty of the not-a-Redbeards. Come on, lwf, lets not award this to m0nty next week.

Kotite of the Week

This week’s award goes to Wudi and Big Ben’s boners. The self limiting move to start a DST opposite a QB suppressed their score to no only a losing total, but the lowest team in the league. Switching out Big Ben for Flacco would have given the Boners the win. Hopefully this will be a lesson learned for the rookies in the league.

A Look Ahead

Good old week 2 in the NFL. Maybe we’ll see a return to normalcy for DSTs. It’s doubtful the Pats will see 600+ yards of total offense next week.

The game of the week sees the mortal enemies Rough Riders facing the not-a-Redbeards.

General Shit

I can’t believe that my Giants lost to Washington. Yea, the Redskins were due, but 300+ yards to Rex Grossman (a PCFFL free agent BTW)? Cripes. I hope some of the defensive starters come back.

It was glorious to see the Cowboys self implode and blow the game to the Jets. The sad part was that Romo’s performance most reminded me of Eli Manning.

I’m glad for the Bills. I hope they do well, but it’s a tough division.

I heard on the radio today that kicksoffs resulted in ~50% of touchbacks. I have to wonder how many injuries this will reduce. I’m not sure it’s going to be that many to be worth it. Might as well put the ball on the 20. In Denver they were kicking it through the uprights.

The Marino’s needed to pay attention to the injury report for Foster, but it didn’t hurt them in the end.

Robert Mecham is the leader for the diamond in the first cut (best player taken in the last round of the draft) with 9.5 points (earned for the Marino’s bench).

I figure the diamond in the rough will be the highest scoring free agent, if I can figure that out easy enough later on.

First DST taken in the draft, the Steelers (autopicked for the Outlaws), scored a whopping -7 points.

The Falcon’s DST scored more points (7) being whipped by the Bears than the Patriots DST did in whipping the Dolphins (0) (both owned by the Devils).

No bench outscored their starters, but in the Toilet Bowl both the Boner’s and Outlaw’s bench scored 1 point less than the starters.

I'm considering a Power Rankings section. Sure, sportsline has one, but it doesn't have enough 'gut' or 'heart' in their tabulations.
tl;dr

m0nty sucks, everyone try to beat m0nty.

I do need more RBs honestly. I have Henderson (looks to be a damn WR with injuries on the Saints), Antonio Brown and Stevie "I blame God and still kick ass" Johnsen up for trade for a decent to good RB. Any offers?

And I'm actually the opposite of Matt. I have a load of decent receivers and need to shore up at RB, so if anybody has a decent player they want to trade, I'm game. Here are my receivers:

Andre Johnson
Mike Wallace
Kenny Britt
Dez Bryant
Percy Harvin
Nate Burleson
Julio Jones
AJ Green
Jacoby Ford

I don't think anyone is long on RBs. You figure teams are running two at most, though most of them have one feature back, whereas there are more receivers because of the 3,4 or 5 wide sets.
