TPC's Week 1 Fantasy Football Report

1. I hate Mike Shanahan. All preseason we were led to assume Selvin Young would be the feature back in their system. From my vantage point, it seemed Pittman was the key ball carrier before the game got out of hand. With that being said, Cutler looks like the real deal and when Marshall comes back next week, the Broncos will be a lethal offensive force.

2. TPC told you about Michael Turner. 220 yards later, everyone now knows too.

3. Same with Calvin Johnson and Chris Johnson. The rule as always: Listen to TPC.

4. Adrian Peterson is real fun to watch. I like how the Vikings opened up their offense in the second half. They need to use AP more in the passing game. If they do, and if AP stays healthy (a huge if), records will fall. He's worth the price of admission.

5. The Patriots will not be better than 10-6 without Tom Brady. If their schedule was somewhat more competitive I would have said .500. For all the genius that is Bill Belichick, he has a career record of 48-52 without Tom Brady. That's a pretty large line of work to go off. The Pats D is average at best this year and Brady was the system, not the other way around (similar to Peyton in Indy, as opposed to the Greatest Show on Turf Rams).

6. I like what I saw from Aaron Rogers. Under a tremendous amount of pressure, he played extremely well.

7. Seattle looks to be in real trouble. Their offensive line looked horrible and Hasselback has very few tools to work with.

8. I'm not ready to bury the Colts. Manning and Co. will get their timing back. They will be fine but their division looks very tough.

9. Big Ben is a top 5 NFL QB at worst right now. Maybe Top 3.

10. The Bengals and Carson Palmer are in for a long season. Their offensive line is weak and their play calling is shaky.

11. Derek Anderson will not be the Browns starting QB in Week 8. Quinn will take over by then.

12. Amazing how all the J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS needed was Brett Favre. And amazing how the acquisition of one player with the loss of one other (albeit the G.O.A.T.) may have dramatically altered the power structure of the AFC East. Maybe even the entire Conference.

13. Eli will be fine. He plays his best when his back is against the wall. Just watch.

14. I like Phillip Rivers guts I just don't love his game.

More to come.........

It's great that people only have to listen to this dellusional psychopath by choice now.

He does this every year, wake up. This is sad that you are surprised by this. Remember Quentin Griffith.

2. TPC told you about Michael Turner. 220 yards later, everyone now knows too.

He will be non-existent soon, Atlanta is a joke, he will not score 6 more TD's this season


8. I'm not ready to bury the Colts.

Wow, way to go out on a limb there. Very bold prediction, most thought they would be 1-15

9. Big Ben is a top 5 NFL QB at worst right now. Maybe Top 3.

Try top 30

11. Derek Anderson will not be the Browns starting QB in Week 8. Quinn will take over by then.

Only Mike Francessa and the chump are this short-sighted. It's week one. As usual, you are wrong.

12. Amazing how all the J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS needed was Brett Favre.

Wrong again. The biggest gain was not Brett Favre and they beat the lowly Dolphons. Within the next two weeks the JETS will lose a game where Brett throws 4 Int's and you flip-floppers will hate Favre.

Nothing else said in the post was commented on because it was so run-of-the-mill and unoriginal.

I hate Shanahan because of that fact. Never said I was surprised by it.

Many are jumping off the Colts bandwagon because of their dismal performance against da Bears. I'm not ready to do that yet, although I do hate their run defense.

Very astute on your Big Ben observation.


As for Anderson, he has now performed horribly in his last 8 games. He had a nice first few game, he has a decent supporting cast, but the league has caught up to him. Brady Quinn will soon be the QB in Cleveland.

Shanahan is a prick. Always hated the bastard.
What about your boy JaMarcus?
And what about your great Hester prediction?
Come on Champ, we need some help.
