Unfortunately, he apparently got hurt again, and with the current status of the defense, my boys are in trouble(down to 5 starters from week 1, on defense). End of game call gets no gripes from me, either.....Gronk would have had to leapfrog over two people to have caught that pass. C'est la vie. Oh, and I never knew that Smith and Talib had such a long(and clearly less than chummy) history from Talib's Tampa days. As I don't do the Fantasy league stuff, I sometimes don't pay attention to anyone not on the Eagles or Pats. Wow, those two HATE one another.

Smith was targeted six times, finishing third on the team behind Brandon LaFell and Greg Olsen. However, this was another entertaining week from Smiff. He and Aqib Talib were going at it during and after every snap it seemed in the opening half. Smith was in Talib's head and drew two penalties against one of the league's premier corners. Talib was unable to finish the game due a re-tweak of his hip injury. Following the game, Smith, speaking through reporters, told Talib to "ice up, son." Smith won this battle with ease.
