Late Sunday games open thread slash HH fantasy football update

by Skin Patrol on Sep 7, 2008 5:04 PM EDT in Open Threads

Probably a bit late but I've spent much of the afternoon our and about, watching football. Games I watched today were Jacksonville at Tennessee and a little bit of Pittsburgh and Houston. Since we play the Steelers this year (Behind the Steel Curtain is a good website) it is of some interest how they looked today for those reader(s) that missed the game.

Pittsburgh ruined Houston, Fast Willy Parker said no and scored three touchdowns and Hines Ward added two more. In discussion with my amigo Blitzburgh we both agreed that winning a game with 14 passes when your quarterback completes something like 13 passes is just about the perfect way to win. His words: "Efficient, efficient football" captures it. They played good defense, they threw the ball effectively, and they ran without mercy. This is not a team we will easily defeat.

Besides that I'd love to get reader(s) thoughts on all the games they watched. Or not. This is your Sunday late game open thread.

I'm out until tomorrow, make sure you v isit all the other SB Nation blogs for updates, input, analysis, etc. on all today's games. Cheers.

PS: I'm currently locked in battle with Hogs Haven contributor Burgundy and Gold in the Hogs Haven Fantasy Football League. I've been placed in the unfortunate position of rooting against Derek Anderson (playing the Cowboys) but the fortunate position of rooting against T.O., in order to win. As of this moment I'm up, I have Anthony Gonzalez of Indy and Adrian Peterson yet to play. He has Joseph Addai and the aforementioned Anderson still playing. If Michael Turner hadn't acted like a crazy person today I'd already be celebrating. As of this writing BnG and I reprsent the 1st and 3rd highest scoring teams of the week, though there's plenty of football left.

Eagles

Deshaun Jackson looked pretty good. Why do the Eagles get immediate production out of their rookie wideout(s)?

NFC East not named Redskins look very good

I'm worried about the beer supply. After this case, and the other case, there's only one case left- Barney Gumble

Carolina won!

Carolina pulled out an exciting win
I suck a HHFF, and no one should ever discount Brett Farve and the Jets.
Trade Possibilities with the Redskins and St. Louis, as Al’s system is not working
Jax’s defense gave up more points than Washington’s defense
Saints are going to be a challenge next week, but they can be beat as Tampa almost showed.
Thank goodness for the Rams, the first 5 games will require an offense to win, with a decent defense.
1-5 or 2-4 is not out of the question, due to the caliber of components the redskins face, let alone the performance of the offense and defense.

Saints

We are in big danger if our offense doesn’t keep the Saints off the field and if our D get’s tired from being on it to long. Outlook not to good vs NO
