New rule. NO changing picks at the last minute.

Stupid Giants.

@flynnibus - I hope everything went ok at the ER.

There was an article on NFL.com that was very true. Fans and teams get excited when a backup performs well, thinking he'll be the next big thing. Then in most cases he becomes a bust as a full-time starter. Recent examples are Kevin Kolb and Matt Flynn. Flynn is a pretty good backup in Green Bay, but he just didn't seem to fit elsewhere. And Kolb just never clicked anywhere than as a backup in Philly. Some guys just aren't meant to be starters.

Matt Cassell.

And you're exactly right.

@flynnibus - I hope everything went ok at the ER.

Yes thx - no real harm.. but with head injuries we don't take any chances anymore. Was only about a 3hr diversion.. but at the prime time between after-work and before kickoff when I would have otherwise thought about getting my picks in

 

[flynnibus]

can't decide which packer team will show up tomorrow... a team looking to prove something?

 

[flynnibus]

I'm picking the eagles and the saints... even against my judgement of the saints... that might swap yet. They are horrible on the road.

Eagles - Niners is a toss up, yet Eagles are at +4.5.... which makes me think Harbaugh gets y and runs up the score.

I just took the points, so I'll probably go with niners in pick-em.... I've been doing that lately, and seems to work out well on the money end...lol.

fess up.. who's making last minute swaps?

I made 3 changes today. They will all be wrong.

 

[afar28]

Not making any last minute swaps today after getting them all wrong last week lol..

 

[acishere]

I made one yesterday... My hubris has finally gotten the best of me.

 

[afar28]

Guess Rodgers was right when he told Packers fans to relax. they're up 38-17. Good for my fantasy team, having Rodgers

 

[OSUgirl77]

My husband convinced me to change my pick from the Lions to the Jets. Not sure why I chose today to start taking his advice...

 

[PUSH]

I didn't change any of my picks. And I'm glad!

Argh, got eliminanated in my survivor poll thanks to a late collapse by the Steelers.
My last minute change curse goes across multiple fantasy games. I originally picked the Chargers to beat the Jags but changed it because I wanted to save the Chargers for later in the season since you can only pick each team once. Wrong choice..

Against Jacksonville is usually when a team has the best opportunity to win.

There was not a single punt in the Packers/Bears game. This is only the 2nd time in NFL history that this has happened.

 

[flynnibus]

That was a crazy pick-6 runback by jenkins for the eagles!

after that crazy gore touchdown run no less

 

[PUSH]

Also, did anybody watch the Packers/Bears game? The officiating was awful. Both teams got penalized for things that didn't happen. Honestly one of the worst called games I've seen since the Fail Mary game.

Yeah I know but after Pittsburgh's and Tampa's performances last week thought it would be a nice win for the Steelers. Oh well

Eagles offense only has 47 total yards, yet the Eagles have 21 points off of two punt returns and a pick-6
