Yeah, after today's performance by Gannon (104 yards, 0 TDs and against the fucking Bungles) I've decided to change my starter to either Bledsoe or Trent Green. Looks like Bledsoe to me.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

that's quite the qb selection..

i'm happy with gannon's bad game though. it'll help me out cause i was up against him this week.
and why is it that harrington has a bad week and manning do pretty damn good when i switched the two of them around?

Because Harrington played a real team, and Peyton did too, but he's a better quarterback at the moment. The first rule about fantasy football is to not draft a kicker before the last three rounds. The second rule is to never change your starters, especially at an important position like quarterback, just because someone had one good week. Odds are, it won't happen again. Anquain Bolden caught like 4 or 5 balls today, which isn't like last week, yet I am sure someone picked up him and started him. Stick with Manning unless he gets hurt, Harrington puts together two or three amazing weeks in a row, or Manning is on a bye week. That's it.

:lol: Well Boldin isn't a bad player, and that game probably wasn't a fluke. Hell, to tell you the truth, I picked him up in my league too. Just don't get impressed by big numbers one week, because you'll get let waaaay down the next week.

the starseeds are just lucky koren robinson got benched yesterday and contributed a big fat 0 to my total...otherwise, youd be hurtin

and dont get me wrong...im like the biggest bledsoe fan there is....the bills are now my 2nd favorite team for the sole fact that they now have bledsoe.....i would take him over brady any day.....but brady is still a very good qb...hes not gonna put up the biggest numbers (though he did lead the league in td's last year) or throw the longest passes, but he knows how to get the job done, and he did do something bledsoe never was able to....win a super bowl.

Yeah, the year that the Pats went to the Super Bowl I was the biggest Brady supporter, mainly because I really can't stand Kurt Warner. But the next season, I just got really sick of him and the things he said about his team. I don't know, I just don't like him that much.

About Bledsoe not winning a Super Bowl, I really think the Bills have a good chance of winning it this year. We'll just have to see how they play against Miami next week and teams like KC and Tennessee. *Crosses fingers*

yeah, the bills really are looking good so far...ill be rooting for them every single week.....except for week 17, and if they face the pats in the playoffs. but it would be most excellent to see bledsoe get a ring (though he technically already has one)

Wow, that'd be huge if the Bills played the Pats in the playoffs....looking a little bit far ahead but it's so hard not to when your team is considered one of the best in the league.

I don't know what I'm getting my hopes up for though. Buffalo never gets championships. They only get really really really close to them. Oh sigh...

What the fuck Bledsoe? I bench Rich Gannon for putting up 103 yards in a game for you, and you fucking throw for 98! What the fuck?
