Think I tossed 5 picks in my game, lol
Took McCown out after the half with 1 pick only to have Glennon come in and throw 3-4
Think I'll have the 1st pick in the draft. Too bad we can't import real players for the draft.
Here's some coverage of some of the games so far

PLAYERS OF THE WEEK
NFC
Aaron Rodgers QB Green Bay Packers
Adrian Wilson SS Arizona Cardinals
AFC
Peyton Manning QB Denver Broncos
Khalil Mack LOLB Oakland Raiders
POWER RANKINGS
1. Green Bay Packers - Aaron Rodgers and the Packers took out the defending champions Seahawks in Seattle. Their offense scored an amazing 43 points against them
2. Denver Broncos - Managed to outlast a dangerous Colts team, the defending AFC champ proved they were the team to beat in the AFC
3. Carolina Panthers - A shellacking of the Buccaneers, shutting them out, the Panthers might have the best defense in the NFL
4. New England Patriots - A dominant win in Miami shows where the power in the AFC is. Patriots and Broncos might be the two best teams in the AFC
5. Baltimore Ravens - The Ravens looked like the team that won the Super Bowl 2 years ago, destroying a very good Bengals team. While the 2 best teams in the AFC are obvious, the Ravens aren't that far behind.
6. Arizona Cardinals - A stunning offensive performance should have the league shaking. The Cardinals were known for their stout defense, but in week 1 a dangerous offense allowed them to score 41 points. The Cardinals might be the team to beat in the NFC West
7. New Orleans Saints - Not as efficient as you'd like to see Drew Brees, the Saints won despite a poor performance from Brees. Next week should be another easy game for the Saints against the poor Browns.
8. Philadelphia Eagles - A solid win by the Eagles, nothing special, but a win is a win for this dangerous Eagles team.
9. Pittsburgh Steelers - After a rough year a year ago, the Steelers came in and beat down the Browns. Ben Roethlisberger had a monster game as. This game is a good sign for this teams future.
10. Dallas Cowboys - There were questions swirling around everyone's heads about the Cowboys defense, but they stunned the 49ers in a defensive battle. Although they only scored 17 points, they're defensive performance might show that America's Team is back.
11. New York Giants - New York won a close game in Detroit and showed that Eli manning might still be an elite QB in the league. Look to the matchup against the Cardinals to see how they will do.
12. Oakland Raiders - The Raiders defense had an absolutely incredible game, only giving up 6 points in a stunning victory over the Jets. Whether that is due to the injury of QB Geno Smith or not is the Key, but this team has shown that it can compete.
13. St Louis Rams - Without Sam Bradford, the Rams showed an incredible passing game against the Vikings. Looking forward to seeing more of BJ Daniels.
14. Washington Redskins - The Redskins came out of Houston with a solid win, although they weren't too impressive in the showing. Hopefully RG3 can throw the ball more efficiently against a poor Jaguars team next week.
15. Chicago Bears - Their vaunted passing attack, which was so hyped coming into the year was stuffed by the Bills. The Bears need to show more and hopefully score more against the 49ers
16. Kansas City - It's the mark of a great team to win when you're not supposed too, but the Chiefs got an incredibly lucky break from a massive touchdown kick return from Jamaal Charles. Next week they'll be tested from a dangerous Broncos teams, and maybe, we'll see the real Chiefs.
17. Seattle Seahawks - Despite losing big, there were plenty of opportunities to stay in the game, but small mistakes hurt them. The Seahwaks should be fine, and the defending Super Bowl Champions should keep on trucking throughout the year.
18. Indianapolis Colts - The Colts lost in heartbreaking fashion as they lose in overtime to the defending AFC champs. Look to them to bounce back and play a tough game against the Eagles
19. San Fransisco 49ers - Despite only scoring 7 points in their game, there's no reason to see this team continue with its offensive struggles. Look to Colin Kaepernick to have a bounce back game against the Bears
20. Detroit Lions - Despite losing to the Giants, the Lions played an excellent game. Calvin Johnson had a tough game, only catching 3 balls, so hopefully, we'll see some more Megatron as time goes on.
21. Tennessee Titans - Despite losing a gimme game, the Titans impressed many with their game at the Chiefs in Arrowhead. They play another tough game against the Cowboys next week.
22. Buffalo Bills - The Bill defense put up an incredible effort against the Bears, but unfortunately it just wasn't enough. They have an easy game against the Dolphins next week at home to hopefully get back to .500
23. Atlanta Falcons - Despite holding Drew Brees to no TD passes, the Falcons still lost, look to them next week to see if their pass defense is a fluke or an asset
24. Minnesota Vikings - A rough game for the Vikings QB's as they looked lost in the game, hopefully Teddy Bridgewater gets another chance to play next week.
25. Cleveland Browns - Johny Football had a decent first game, as the Browns competed against the Steelers. This year might not be their year, but they are primed with loads of young defensive talent.
26. San Diego Chargers - Quite possibly a bad matchup, the Chargers got shellacked against the Cardinals. Their offense was mediocre, and their defense was atrocious, they'll play another tough defense next week against the Seahawks.
27. Houston Texans - Despite only losing by 6 points, the Texans didn't provide optimism that last year was a fluke. Ryan Fitzpatrick was not impressive in his first start for the Texans
28. Cincinnati Bengals - The Bengals had a good year last year, but their team got absolutely decimated by the Ravens. Losing your first week is tough, losing your first week against a conference opponent is even tougher
29. Jacksonville Jaguars - Blake Bortles first NFL start could not have been worse, but he's a work in progress with a crappy offense. We'll see if Bortles is worth keeping against a Redskins team that struggled in week 1
30. New York Jets - The loss of Geno Smith hurt more then new York city could imagine, as nothing could get started under Vick. Their schedule does not get easier next week, as they play the dangerous Packers
31. Miami Dolphins - There wasn't much hope for this Dolphins teams after last years poor ending, and this year could not have started off worse. The Dolphins got crushed by a Patriots teams that looked almost in a different league then the Dolphins. They play an easier game next week though, and hopefully we'll see them make a comeback.
32. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Tampa Bay got shut out by the Panthers and really didn't show any type of positivity against them. A poor performance by a team many thought would have a good season this year. Next week they got an easier game against the St Louis Rams.
Best Games Next Week
Cardinals @ Giants
Chiefs @ Broncos
Steelers @ Ravens
Cardinals @ Giants
Good Luck, and remember

2. Denver Broncos - Managed to outlast a dangerous Colts team, the defending AFC champ proved they were the team to beat in the AFC
3. Carolina Panthers - A shellacking of the Buccaneers, shutting them out, the Panthers might have the best defense in the NFL
4. New England Patriots - A dominant win in Miami shows where the power in the AFC is. Patriots and Broncos might be the two best teams in the AFC
5. Baltimore Ravens - The Ravens looked like the team that won the Super Bowl 2 years ago, destroying a very good Bengals team. While the 2 best teams in the AFC are obvious, the Ravens aren't that far behind.
6. Arizona Cardinals - A stunning offensive performance should have the league shaking. The Cardinals were known for their stout defense, but in week 1 a dangerous offense allowed them to score 41 points. The Cardinals might be the team to beat in the NFC West
7. New Orleans Saints - Not as efficient as you'd like to see Drew Brees, the Saints won despite a poor performance from Brees. Next week should be another easy game for the Saints against the poor Browns.
8. Philadelphia Eagles - A solid win by the Eagles, nothing special, but a win is a win for this dangerous Eagles team.
9. Pittsburgh Steelers - After a rough year a year ago, the Steelers came in and beat down the Browns. Ben Roethlisberger had a monster game as. This game is a good sign for this teams future.
10. Dallas Cowboys - There were questions swirling around everyone's heads about the Cowboys defense, but they stunned the 49ers in a defensive battle. Although they only scored 17 points, they're defensive performance might show that America's Team is back.
11. New York Giants - New York won a close game in Detroit and showed that Eli manning might still be an elite QB in the league. Look to the matchup against the Cardinals to see how they will do.
12. Oakland Raiders - The Raiders defense had an absolutely incredible game, only giving up 6 points in a stunning victory over the Jets. Whether that is due to the injury of QB Geno Smith or not is the Key, but this team has shown that it can compete.
13. St Louis Rams - Without Sam Bradford, the Rams showed an incredible passing game against the Vikings. Looking forward to seeing more of BJ Daniels.
14. Washington Redskins - The Redskins came out of Houston with a solid win, although they weren't too impressive in the showing. Hopefully RG3 can throw the ball more efficiently against a poor Jaguars team next week.
15. Chicago Bears - Their vaunted passing attack, which was so hyped coming into the year was stuffed by the Bills. The Bears need to show more and hopefully score more against the 49ers
16. Kansas City - It's the mark of a great team to win when you're not supposed too, but the Chiefs got an incredibly lucky break from a massive touchdown kick return from Jamaal Charles. Next week they'll be tested from a dangerous Broncos teams, and maybe, we'll see the real Chiefs.
17. Seattle Seahawks - Despite losing big, there were plenty of opportunities to stay in the game, but small mistakes hurt them. The Seahwaks should be fine, and the defending Super Bowl Champions should keep on trucking throughout the year.
18. Indianapolis Colts - The Colts lost in heartbreaking fashion as they lose in overtime to the defending AFC champs. Look to them to bounce back and play a tough game against the Eagles
19. San Fransisco 49ers - Despite only scoring 7 points in their game, there's no reason to see this team continue with its offensive struggles. Look to Colin Kaepernick to have a bounce back game against the Bears
20. Detroit Lions - Despite losing to the Giants, the Lions played an excellent game. Calvin Johnson had a tough game, only catching 3 balls, so hopefully, we'll see some more Megatron as time goes on.
21. Tennessee Titans - Despite losing a gimme game, the Titans impressed many with their game at the Chiefs in Arrowhead. They play another tough game against the Cowboys next week.
22. Buffalo Bills - The Bill defense put up an incredible effort against the Bears, but unfortunately it just wasn't enough. They have an easy game against the Dolphins next week at home to hopefully get back to .500
23. Atlanta Falcons - Despite holding Drew Brees to no TD passes, the Falcons still lost, look to them next week to see if their pass defense is a fluke or an asset
24. Minnesota Vikings - A rough game for the Vikings QB's as they looked lost in the game, hopefully Teddy Bridgewater gets another chance to play next week.
25. Cleveland Browns - Johny Football had a decent first game, as the Browns competed against the Steelers. This year might not be their year, but they are primed with loads of young defensive talent.
26. San Diego Chargers - Quite possibly a bad matchup, the Chargers got shellacked against the Cardinals. Their offense was mediocre, and their defense was atrocious, they'll play another tough defense next week against the Seahawks.
27. Houston Texans - Despite only losing by 6 points, the Texans didn't provide optimism that last year was a fluke. Ryan Fitzpatrick was not impressive in his first start for the Texans
28. Cincinnati Bengals - The Bengals had a good year last year, but their team got absolutely decimated by the Ravens. Losing your first week is tough, losing your first week against a conference opponent is even tougher
29. Jacksonville Jaguars - Blake Bortles first NFL start could not have been worse, but he's a work in progress with a crappy offense. We'll see if Bortles is worth keeping against a Redskins team that struggled in week 1
30. New York Jets - The loss of Geno Smith hurt more then new York city could imagine, as nothing could get started under Vick. Their schedule does not get easier next week, as they play the dangerous Packers
31. Miami Dolphins - There wasn't much hope for this Dolphins teams after last years poor ending, and this year could not have started off worse. The Dolphins got crushed by a Patriots teams that looked almost in a different league then the Dolphins. They play an easier game next week though, and hopefully we'll see them make a comeback.
32. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Tampa Bay got shut out by the Panthers and really didn't show any type of positivity against them. A poor performance by a team many thought would have a good season this year. Next week they got an easier game against the St Louis Rams.
Best Games Next Week
Cardinals @ Giants
Chiefs @ Broncos
Steelers @ Ravens
Cardinals @ Giants
Good Luck, and remember

Cool, I will try to add him . Can you ask him to let me know via PSN if he can play at all tomorrow? It would be the best time for me since i have pretty much the whole day open and I will most likely be up at 11am MST LOL!

Sorry about Tannehill! Is he out for a long time?
yeah it was close at first ... then not so much
8 weeks, broken hand. My offense was already abysmal, I can't imagine this will help much.
There were a couple plays that really changed the game. The forced fumble you got when I was in the red was a killer for me, I really needed a score on that one to stay in the game. After that it was just downhill.
Matt Flynn is on waivers btw

Yeah, I looked at a few options. Unless something substantial becomes available, I'm going to stick with Matt Moore. He'll be on a relatively short leash in KC for the next game.
Thanks, but I think I'll pass on what is a very generous offer!
I really wish you can run a practice or scenario with your current franchise team.
Sanchize is available if youd like!
