I see the Bobby Valentine show is getting one game deeper in the basement now.
Wow.
At least Philly kept trying after a disappointing season. The Red Sox — a baseball joke for 2012.

Apparently Joe Blanton is in full scale melt down mode for the Dodgers:

If the Giants beat the Dodgers tonight, the Braves will have a 7 game lead for a wild card spot. 7 game lead with 21 games to play.
Almost over… we’re much healthier this year.
I learned my lesson about Green Bay’s defense last year. They totally let me down week after week. Went with the Niners D this year.
Steelers D…. almost tempted to go with Falcons, but… Niner’s defense isn’t gonna be as good this year, I think

Just a hunch… no way they repeat their performance from last year. They might be good, but not that good. 11-5, 12-4 season and defense takes a small step back.

This is the 2nd time I’ve done fantasy football, the last time being about 5 years ago. I honestly thought I’d be pretty slick picking a D in the 2nd round. You live, you learn.

CAB, yeah the 49ers are playoff bound are will be serious contenders. Definitely a team to be excited about. I’m just happy my Redskins finally have a real QB and were headed in the right direction. I see us winning 8 games which is a good improvement. If RG3 keeps playing at a high level maybe 9 or 10 but I’m realistic, the kid is gonna struggle at some point.

VaBraves: I think the Redskins might actually be able to get 10 wins, and possibly sneak in as a WC. He is a good QB, kinda like Matt Ryan in his rookie year, maybe even better. Of course, all the other guys need to keep up their play, but the Redskins are my dark-horse team.

Dang, hard to believe he never had one before… We drafted him in the 1st round 9th overall. Same draft that we traded back into the 1st round to draft Jason Campbell.
I don’t think the Skins gave up on him, at the time he wanted to get paid or wanted out. He ended up only signing a 1 year low salary deal with yall and then played at a high level then got the 4 year deal from yall.

Never liked ‘LOS ROGERS. Remember a short discourse in the college class I was teaching at the time with a ‘SKINS fan. Had my doubts from the git go. Glad he’s having success elsewhere. That’s great, but I’ll take the cover corners we had today in Naw’ Lens. They threw a blanket over COLSTON, GRAHAM et.al. 24 -52 Pass attempts; 326 Total passing yards; 3rd down efficiency 2-11; 1-2 Red Zone efficiency; Yards per pass 6.3; 2 Int’s. and this is DREW BREES we’re talkin’ here……at home. 8-0 last season, 0-1 this season All Hail to the ghost of Sammy Baugh, RGIII, and the entire team.

With 21 games left, we would have to have a worse collapse than last year….to not qualify as a Wild Card.
However, with it being a one game playoff between the two Wild Cards…..anything can happen. If we can sweep the Nationals this weekend….things could get interesting. Too bad we pretty much sucked against the Nationals this year.
At least this year’s bunch is showing a little heart. Nice to see us beating the teams we’re supposed to beat….which we couldnt do last September.

AKERS turned out to be mighty good. He wasn’t good enough to make the REDSKINS who cut him after his rookie year. Dumb-azzes
After cutting both NEIL RACKERS and GRAHAM GANO this pre-season, the ‘SKINS signed BILLY CUNDIFF. He will be the difference in two games this season i predict.
BTW VaBavesFan did you catch the number of that player that let a N.O. player come free right up the middle and block SAV ROCCA’s punt? It was none other that # 57 BRYAN KEHL, the guy the REDSKINS kept instead of MARCUS WHITE
