I had a baby sleeping in my lap the whole first games as I watched. The big story I gather from watching is Fitzpatrick - what does he have to do to be named the starter or the rapist?

What a comeback engineered by Fitzpatrick!

Question: Are any of the 25 or 30 members currently here watching any of the games, or have all but a few of you taken a vow not to post? I don't know how much longer CF is going to last as a near dead zone.

I agree. As a long time member it's a little disheartening to see so few posts. I do get it though as the NFL has done it's best to purge as many of our guys as possible. It would be great to see more posts and participation though.

Have been watching the Cam Newton show here in Carolina. Got frustrated by the use of CM, so I turned the channel. Didn't know they were showing the Bucs/Bengals game.
They ran CM 6 straight times up the guards rear end. Even the announcers said that wasn't very smart. CM barely 50 total yards!
Was looking forward to seeing Cooper Kupp, but I guess he's doubtful for today's game?

Well he did get two touchdowns. Scam prefers to "use him as a decoy" in the offense, but he couldn't prevent CM from scoring twice.

Adam Humphries solidified himself as a real weapon after this game with 7 rec for 76 yards, after starting the year as a fringe 4th or 5th receiver he's now a firm no.3 wr for the Bucs. I'm about to add him to my fantasy team.

Lots of white defenders playing for the Packers today: Martinez, Matthews, Lowry, Fackrell, and Lancaster have all been in the game.

Honestly, Humphreies solidified himself a few years ago. Heck, he's coming off back to back 600+ yard seasons. He should almost always be on the field getting 5-10+ catches per game, similar to Edelman. He's being wasted...

Aikman very complimentary of Dean Lowry.

Lowry was terrific last season in a starting role. For some reason, they brought in someone in the offseason, and pushed him to the bench.
Good to see him back in the lineup..

Agreed happy to see an injury to an upsider land him Back in starting lineup! As with Humphries, both should be full time starters.

Watching some of the Rams-Packers. Both teams getting away with pass interference. One favorite move is to grab a jersey for just a couple seconds. Refs don't catch it but the camera does. A couple even more blatant pre-catch tackles not called as if by design.

I feel a Bigunreal moment coming on.....two WBAP qbs battling it out maybe someone wants to hold their numbers down?

Kupp is really missed in this Rams offense. I wish they would incorporate Higbee into the offense more in Kupp's absence.

Can I get a shout out for ignoring caste logic and starting Jamesis Winston at QB? All the experts said he was due for a good game. Dumb!

What's up with Higbee??
Hes yet to become a factor so far in the offense, that appears to be suited for a tall, fast TE..

He's probably available in any league. Average football fans have no idea who he is. I'd pick him up but I'm full up on white receivers. Theilan. Cupp. Nelson. Edelman. Amendola. Hogan. Beasley.

I don't know how anyone can sit and watch Winston, and honestly think 'hes the future'.. the guy is laughably inconsistent, and more often than not, downright bad...

The clowns I play with didn't know Kupp. Didn't know Thielen last year.. I managed to snag both easily this year again.. I have Amemdola and Humphries also...

Yeah I know he's proven himself but for some reason he fell he out of favour to start the season, and was viewed as a finge receiver despite having some solid "average" seasons. Pretty much brings us back to white players need to be elite to stick, TB were trying to replace Humphries but he's clawed his way back into plans.
