MNF Live Thread (But mostly a Kirk Cousins NON-Appreciation thread)

Submitted by Brendan71388 on

I'm surprised there wasn't already a thread of this nature. Normally people are on the ball with these. Not a very exciting game if you're not a Pittsburgh fan. Antonio Brown is a beast, although I think his first TD shouldn't have happened because of a catch/fumble that was ruled a non-catch.

I can't be the only one who lost their fantasy matchup because Kirk Cousins crapped the bed tonight. All I needed was for him to outscore the Steelers kicker by 1.5 points, but he couldn't even do that. His first INT was a horrible throw. He misfired on a sure first down to a wide-open WR. His second INT should have been reviewed and overturned but I'm still blaming him. 

I figured there's no better place than MGoBlog to come and rail on Cousins and comiserate over his fantasy uselessness.

Not sure why Cousins would be starting in a 10 or 12 team league. I know he had a pretty good year last year- but I expect him to take a step back. Don't really like the Redskin's offense this year in general.

As long as Carlos Hyde finished with greater than zero points in this game I win my matchup. I was tied going into this game.

On a side note, Jesus Christ Hyde looks good. He dropped in my league because of injury concerns but if he can stay healthy he's my #1 RB.

Watched a Sparty fan draft cousins way too early and was just waiting for cousins to suck. Thankfully it happened already. I don't remember exactly but he took cousins as a top 5 QB at least. I had Antonio brown last season and I was really bummed I didn't get him this season. Dude is the luckiest lock possible in fantasy. Pittsburgh has absolutely no excuses on offense with brown and bell (Williams is the best backup you can hope for). Obviously injuries are always a question mark, but they have so much talent on offense.

The fact that you wrote a lengthy thread bashing Kirk Cousins (the second nicest dude in the NFL) when you picked him on your fantasy team and were hoping to root for him all season long is... Questionable.

As a side note, my fantasy was 6 teams on ESPN last year with some friends with varying interest in the league by everybody. We added four teams this year, but most of those people don't really care. Really weird combination of people. How many people are in most people's leagues?

Berman is the absolute worst broadcaster. I'd rather listen to fuckhead Steve Levy troll Michigan the whole game. Espn sucks ass. On a side note, Antonio Brown's dance made me laugh out loud.

I also kinda passed on him. I feel like I won't regret it too much, but my RBs need to step up for me to have any shot at a decent team. Freeman sucked so hopefully he improves. I also need Rawls to improve as he's coming back from injury.
