facepalm - Hate Elway. Hate Manning. Hate Denver. flipping missed kick
My fantasy opponent had Anderson. 
I have Kelvin Benjaminā¦ sitting on my bench. 6 catches for 91 yards and a td.
I really wanted Denver to take a loss at home, and with 3 turnovers, Carolina should have been able to get it done. And if Newton keeps taking those hits he may not make it to October.
Ron Rivera IMO is a terrible coach, given that Denver had a QB with little experience the fact that Denver could come back from a 10 point deficit like that doesnāt say much about their defensive scheme. Koechley and Davis were fantastic, but their scheme left huge holes, and they couldnāt stop Anderson. (and yeah, in my spread pickem pool at work, I had Carolina +2.5ā¦sigh). Seimian may end up being a decent QB, he had poise, but Carolina showed a lot of weakness that I think given the caliber of the playing is the coaching staff.
Their clock and timeout management was terrible. Carolina burned a timeout to think about challenging a play. Just challenge it! If you lose, you lose the timeout you were about to burn. If you win, you save a timeout. If you call a timeout and then lose the challenge, you lose a second timeout.
And burning two timeouts in the first 7 minutes? Are you kidding me? Plus, having to burn your last timeout with a minute left because you canāt get the play off in time? I might expect that from a rookie qb, but not Cam Newton. What the heck was going on?
@notrichenough:
I wondered about the last one when I read about it (too tired to watch more than the first half). I suspect, given the way play calling goes in the NFL, that it might have been slowness of the play being called, like I said the Carolina coaching staff reminds me of the NY Jets at their worst under Rex Ryan, where they look like amateurs scrambling to figure out what to do. I saw that in the Superbowl, I think Carolina has a great team but their coaching staff looks like amateur hour at times.
So? Who is happy who is sad? Jets lost so I am not very happy.
I am happy because Wilson hit Baldwin with 30 seconds left for a td, and I have both on the FF team. 12 last-second points I will need.
I am happy that the Bills, Dolphins, and Jets all lost because the Patriots will most likely lose tonight. If by some miracle they win, I will be ecstatic.
Hawks didnāt lose and I am not unhappy.
Giants by one at the Big D!
Go Big Blue!
Well despite their best efforts, my Lions managed to pull out the win.
Cowboys lose a close one, better clock management required.
But rookie quarterback surprised me. Looking forward to see how he progresses.
The Raiders surprised everyone, even themselves by winning by 1 over the Saints. Sorry, @saintfan
The Lions game was very entertaining.
Hereās how fantasy ruins how we watch games: DW, who grew up in Detroit and was a Lions fan until she became a Patriots fan, wanted Indy to score that last td because she has Vinateri on her fantasy team, and she needed the point from the PAT because her game is really close. 
Lucky for her, the Lions pulled it out. It was interesting seeing Stafford go nuts on his receivers on that last drive for the stupid mistakes they were making - basic stuff like not getting out of bounds to stop the clock, forcing you to burn a timeout. How is it possible the Lions receivers are not coached about this? No wonder Detroit always stinks, they blow the fundamentals and donāt have the needed situational awareness.
The Carson Chargers have been blowing late leads since the beginning of time, or at least the 1960s. They proved they were up to it again today.
Fortune favors the bold: The Raiders go for 2 late and win it. Jack Del Rio has more guts than most of the coaches out there (are you listening Mike McCoy?)
I am not THAT kind of saint fan. My Seahawks pulled it out by the skin of their teeth but itāll do.
Now comes the hard part . . . rooting for the Patriots to beat Arizona.
Anybody whoās watched Dak Prescott play in college wasnāt surprised by his play in the NFL. Good luck to him, even if heās playing for the Cowboys.
