That was honestly the worst game I’ve ever watched. I had to repeatedly fast-forward through the 40-minute edited version just to get it over with. Really, Jaxson Dart (two leagues, franchise QB), out on the first series? Go fuck yourself, NFL. Why am I even watching this trash?
Jameis Winston is a joke. Ha ha ha, look how funny he is in the World Cup, the Bartolo Colon of the NFL. Get a competent backup like Drew Lock or Marcus Mariota. It was like a rando off the street playing.
Malik Nabers gets hurt again, and anyway, it was a lost cause with Winston. What a stupid game. I lost matchups, lost my Giants +7 in Circa and the cherry on top is I had Davante Adams on my bench in the Primetime for Quentin Johnston (no idea why I didn’t make that switch when McConkey was deemed active, totally forgot, or why I didn’t make that switch even if everyone but Johnston were out and the Retardgers were forced to give that useless sack 40 targets.)
Of course I also had DJ Moore active Thursday night too. I guess in my defense, Johnston was s sixth round pick, Adams a fifth, both did nothing Week 1, and Nacua wasn’t a lock to be out before the games kicked off. But it was stupid, mostly because once I set the lineup Thursday night, I never tinkered with it. What’s even the point of plunking down $1800 for the Primetime if you’re gonna leave that game on the bench?
There’s nothing to make bullet points about. Matthew Stafford and the Rams looked good, Adams still has plenty left in the tank. The Giants are a bottom feeder without Dart who I knew I should have avoided because of his injury history. It’s only a matter of time before Nabers and Cam Skattebo go down too. Total joke.
Oh, I left out I had a parlay with Stafford for 3 TDs, Adams for 2 and over 50 in the game. That third leg was dead the second Dart went down.
PT here. Don’t ever let anyone tell you that injury avoidance isn’t a skill. Some athletes have elite proprioception/kinesthesia and many do not. Eli Manning was one that I always pointed to in terms of having elite awareness. He “felt” the approaching defenders. Always. He would fall and go limp (“rag doll”) with both lower extremities not planted on ground. Brett Favre may be best in history at injury avoidance behaviors despite being a very physical QB who played during crazy physical era with Sapp, etc.
