Had Demaryous Thomas and Ray Rice on my fantasy team, so I'm feeling pretty good after last night. Is Pierce going to continue to get almost as many carries as Rice? At least Rice was involved in the passing game a ton but it was still a little disappointing.
Yeah there were whole series where Rice was on the sideline.
I know they don't want to over use him but without all your other offensive players (Jacoby Jones and Oher) and a very old busted Dallas Clark, might as well keep him in for week 1 and try to get the most out of him. He is clearly their best offensive player and should be in all the time.
I forget the reason why I benched Ball before the game, but he's probably going to get dropped this week. Not sure why I thought he'd be a good depth RB.
dat Decker pick doe...RIP
I think Decker will get his throughout the season. They are primarily a passing team even within the redzone and as teams adjust to Welker, Decker will get his looks.
Keep in mind Peyton hit him with a perfect pass on a fade route that Decker just dropped in the endzone.
Have to disagree with that big time, but I will say I felt he really doesn't have the same ability to put the right zip on it he's used to, and that led to many of his missed throws last night.
Accuracy wise, his first TD passes to both Thomas' and the one to Caldwell were gloriously placed.
If we want to talk about someone who was horrifically inaccurate past 10+, let's talk about Flacco. Man oh man was he just wretched.
Both guys also had some drops by their guys.
Flacco was terrible but Dallas Clark was awful as well. He dropped a sure TD and just looked slow, old, and lost a lot of times. The other TE (Dickson?) dropped a couple of key passes which would have gone for a 1st down.
Its funny how much the game changed after that blown Welker call. They call that right or Harbaugh challenges, who knows how the rest of the game goes.
