McNabb out for the season

[achtungbaby]

I just lost the best QB in the league. On the bright side, I still have Trent Green as my backup, the 10th ranked QB. Good thing I didn't trade him...!!

Kills my team too, both the fantasy team and the Eagles, my hometown team of yore.

Pick up Koy Detmer now...and Duce Staley if he's available. Duce is gonna be the offense for a while.

Actually I'm a big hater of Duce Staley:P IMHO, a very overrated RB who's only going to get worse now that he can't hide in McNabb's shadow...

[deez nuts]

Go Giants :D

McNabb is still the man though. Like Lethal said finishing the game with those stats.

[lethal]

I don't like Duce either, the Eagles can do better, but without McNabb, he's all they got for a while.

20/25 for 255 yeards and 4 TDs.

Horrible picture on the front page of ESPN though.

Jesus, that looks like his knee is getting ripped apart.

In my fantasy league draft this year I had the fortune of drafting Rich Gannon, and then took a chance on Drew Bledsoe and his magnificent receivers (Peerless Price and Eric Moulds). Iv'e been starting Gannon, but he's doing his late-season fade (as he did last year). I'm thinking that I'll have to start Bledsoe in his stead.

My question - how badly does the weather effect the passing game in Buffalo in December and January? Is Bledsoe going to start sucking (from a fantasy scoring perspective)?

Also - what service to you guys use for fantasy football? My league is on NFL.com.

It prolly will play a factor, but not sure how big of a factor.

It gets nasty up in Buffalo!

Bledsoe was already up in NE. And he played college ball in Washington (WSU I think). He knows how to play in bad weather and snow.

Based on what I saw of Bledsoe on Sunday, I'd say this was a good choice. I've never been a huge fan of his or anything, but he looked pretty solid. Then again, double check with their upcoming opponents, cuz that's pretty much everything.

Weather can be a very weird thing. You get some guys from warmer climates who've never played in ice, and for some bizarro reason, they excel. Brett Fav-ree is a good example. He owns Green Bay in the cold. But anyway, I tend to agree with lethalweapon...Bledsoe's got experience playin' in the cold.

ESPN and Yahoo. I had two teams on NFL.com last year. I joined one white supremacist league out of curiousity, only to find out that everyone was indeed racist...

I talked SO much shit every week after going undefeated for five games that one of them hacked into my account and basically ripped apart my team.

Who are your running backs...?

My RBs are Deuce McAllister (out w/ankle), Shawn Alexander, and Michael Bennett. I'm in a 4 player keeper league, and I actually drafted McAllister last year, hoping Ricky Williams would wear out his welcome in NO. It's nice being in a keeper league so that you can have some continuity.
