NFL Week 9 thread

I don't think too many people believe they're as bad as their record. Just two weeks ago, the Falcons won a game convincingly. Once Roddy White comes back, too, they could very well make a run at a playoff berth.

 

Surprised there weren't more deals considering the amount of injuries this year and how many teams can write off the playoffs.

 

Part of the reason there is less movement is because teams don't want to forfeit the compensatory picks that they get when these guys leave via free agency.

It's not a huge deal, but it would be cool if they fixed this, so there was more movement before the deadline.

 

I'm predicting Seattle looks fucking invincible this week. I haven't checked who they're playing yet.

 

That and the reality is only the Vikings, Bucs and Jags are really out of the playoff hunt. Outside a couple teams, each conference has a whole bunch of mediocrity.

 

7-1 baby!!!!!

 

No one is that optimistic.

 

Where's everyone rank Dez Bryant among current receivers? All things considered.

How many (and which) others would you take before Bryant?

 

He's very good. Without his baggage, I'd put him behind only Johnson. But the baggage exists, so I think I'd be happier with a slightly less good receiver without it.

 

Calvin Johnson, then Dez. I think his baggage stuff is greatly played up by national media. If he were on any other team, nobody would give a shit about the stuff he does. He hasn't actually done anything detrimental in a long, long time.

 

He's not better than a healthy Larry Fitzgerald.

 

My current top 5 in order: C Johnson, Fitzgerald, AJ Green, Bryant, V Jackson. If I go 10 deep I include Julio Jones, D Thomas, Marshall, Cruz and Welker.
