Thread: Week 1, Coulda, Shoulda, Woulda

    Default Week 1, Coulda, Shoulda, Woulda

    Okay, week 1's over, which of your BENCH guys in any of your leagues seriously outscored your starters? With me ....

    Eli outscored brother Peyton, who still did really well.

    Tatum Bell outscored Brian Westbrook and Julius Jones combined.

    Minnesotta Defense outscored Baltimore Defense (41 to 15 in one league).

    I started Lee Evans instead of Plaxico. Evans got 0 and Plax got 32.

    I still won with 95, but it wouldn't have even been close.

    roethlisberger on the bench instead of brees, and the vikings defense on the bench. . .
    “When we do find that guy, we’ve got to have the continuity on the offensive side to where we can train him and develop him and get him there. This is our fourth offense in probably three or four years. Quarterbacks need to be developed. You don’t find one ready-made. We got to have a solid system in place for when we do go after whatever guy it may be, a young guy or a trade or whatnot.”

    Reading the Giants' forums, there's news that Eli might be able to play. The injury to his shoulder is extremely painful, but if he can take the pain, the doctors said playing won't aggravate the injury.

    Still, I'd rely on Peyton over Eli, until Eli does this performance a bunch of times.

    Plaxico is tough to judge; he has great talent, but he has the reputation of being lazy. Makes me wonder if he really had an injury in the offseason, because he was instantly well on gameday.

    I have him in one of my leagues, and I was seriously considering benching him.

    Despite the results, I usually go by last season's stats as the indicator first.

    dr. james andrews, one of the country's foremost orthopedists, cleared him to play-- that doesn't guarantee that he will, but it seems likely. . . of course, he's not going to be facing that cowgirls swiss cheese secondary every week, though. . . .

    Also if he gets slammed on the shoulder again, he could really separate it badly and be out 6 weeks.

    He would face a much improved Green Bay team this week, which made McNabb look very foolish last week.

    Their backup is kinda built like Janikowski. He looks like a bowling ball out there

    This totally sucks. If I would have switched two guys I would have won my game. Oh well, I guess that's the way it goes.

    Started Bulger and benched Kitna.

    I still won though, thanks to Pitt defense.
