[Rob]

Is Dressel cursed?

[Morgbug]

No more than me. 

Burleson.

Colson.

Westbrook. 

Yay.   

[Rob]

Did you guys go to Hawaii together and not tell us?! 

[Ryan]

The Broncos Offense Isotopes are really starting to look like the team to beat this year... averaging 90 points after three weeks? Yikes.

Not yet, I haven't even booked the bloody flight for December.   I guess there's no point in not going now.

It's about time being a homer pays off.

[Dressel Rebel]

Is Dressel cursed?

There's very little room for debate on this subject at the moment.  Best looking 0-3 team I've ever had.

No. 

San Francisco.

Yup.

But this can change quickly.

Moss, 4 catches 25 yards...0 TD's

On pace for... 816 yards and 5.3 TD's 

Okay, WTH is up with the Patriots?  I was tailgating at the Packer game, so I didn't get to see any of the game...how do you let Miami rack up 38 points on a team that hasn't lost a game at home in like three years?!  That's insane.  I guess when I thought Moss could be worthwhile this year, I should have factored the the Pats stink now that they're not allowed to cheat and yes, apparently Brady was the whole team, defense included.

Well, after scoring only 30 points this week I know what NOT to do in next year's draft...

Well, after scoring only 30 points this week I know what NOT to do in next year's draft...

And what is that?  Frankly this season has not taught me anything about who to draft or who will even be a good start next week.  When guys like H. Ward and L. Evans are blowing away R. Moss and houshmanzadeh, what does that teach you?  The only thing I've learned is to not waste so much time preparing for the season since pretty much each and every player has been wildly unpredictible. 

[Rob]

This game is 50% skill, 50% dumb blind luck.  The idea that my team is 4-0 proves that quite handily. 

[ruiner]

And what is that? 

Focus on RB's.

[Morgbug]

  When guys like H. Ward and L. Evans are blowing away R. Moss and houshmanzadeh, what does that teach you? 

It should teach you that a guy like Moss, who is as fickle as can be as a football player, is highly dependent on someone serving him well.  Same holds true as for Owens.  With respect to Housh, it only shows he overperformed last year, something I truly enjoyed and benefitted from but guys are expecting him to perform as a #1 which he really isn't.  He is, for the most part, a possession receiver.  And with Ocho underperforming, he's getting hurt too. 

But the real point is what Rob said: luck.  By week 4 I'm without 2 receivers and my top running back (#3 overall pick)?  Yeah, I planned for that to happen.  But hey, Colston should be back before long, Westbrook will miss at most one more game due to this injury and Engram will now be Seattle's number 1.  Plus we're into bye weeks.  So maybe my luck will change, maybe it won't. 

[Rob]

And what is that? 

Focus on RB's.

If anyone needs one, I'm in the market for a WR.  I've got Jacobs, Addai, James, R. Johnson, and McAllister all putting up decent numbers.  I also expect Michael Bush to be contributing all year long... but who knows.

I'd trade Brandon Jacobs for a stud receiver, or Rudi Johnson/McAllister for a decent one.  Chad Johnson and a RB could also be part of a deal for a stud receiver.  I'm a sell-low mood with that guy, although I do think he'll still end up with 9 or 10 TD's on the year.
