Just amazing how far that guy has fallen in the past 3-4 years, especially considering he's only 26. I remember seeing quite a few Merrimen jerseys around town back in 06-07. Makes you wonder how much of his early success was due to the juice.
Probably a combination of losing a step from the knee injuries and much like other athletes that were phenomenal on steriods turn out to be pretty average when not juiced up.
From ESPN....12 of these guys have started some or all of their games this year. Just lovely.
Well the good news is that no one in the NFC is looking that good. So if they can stay competitive and work through until a lot of those players are healthy they can still make the playoffs. The NFC is in shambles this year. Maybe some teams will get it together by the end of the year, but I don't see anyone beating Ravens, Steelers or Jets as of right now. I think Steelers are going to come out of the AFC.
Anyone want to put forth a prediction of what type of record will win the NFC West this year? I'm thinking that it's very likely a 7-9 team could walk away with that Division. There have only been two Division games so far both hosted by the Rams who lost to Arizona and than beat the Seahawks. I suppose Arizona would have the early edge having been able to win one Divisional road game and finding a way to beat the Saints.

Also of note is that the NFC West is very fortunate to play the 2nd weakest division in football in the AFC West this year. If the division had to play say the AFC East instead of the AFC West it's possible a 6 win team would win the division.
While it is A) Great for my fantasy team but B) Horrible for my dolphins.
This is the problem mixing fantasy with cheering for a team. I only hope for a Miami blowout early on so that Rodgers can pick up garbage yards trying to get his team back in the game.

Seattle also rolled the 49ers in Week 1

That was an excellent drive by the Chiefs. Houston looks out of synch on both sides of the ball. How do you lose Vrabel there?

Nice to see Brandon Stokely has a catch for Seattle today. The guy is a true professional.

Good move Syl....Annoyed at Kevin Kolbs inability to get the ball to Desean Jackson....I benched him in favor of Jabar Gaffney today. Yeah 20 first quarter fantasy points later, I feel pretty smart.

Rams leading the Chargers 17-0. Wow has SD ever looked terrible this season. Road losses already to KC, Seattle and Oakland so far and now getting clobbered by the Rams on the road. KC is a good football team so losing that one isn't a big shock but SD looks terrible.
Fins and Pack tied at 10 at the half. One bad throw by Henne leads to a 86 yard touchdown for Jennings. Very even first half in my opinion. Marshall has 7 catches for 102 yards. Miami finally really getting Marshall involved. GO FINS!
