Title: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: murdoc on June 10, 2008, 11:22:43 AM Soo... it's June 10th so that means that Yahoo Fantasy Football (http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/) has opened it's registration. :awesome_for_real:
I'm willing to start the league up, since you can just copy the rules from last year, but I noticed with my other league that I run, that as the previous commissioner you can just 'renew' the league and carry-on. I think Shiznit started the f13 league and I *think* Rasix started the JV league (if necessary!). Again, I don't mind starting the league up, even THIS early, since it may mean we get a decent live draft time/date. Post in here I guess if you're interested. Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: WayAbvPar on June 10, 2008, 11:23:34 AM In.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Rasix on June 10, 2008, 11:28:43 AM In.
I lost by less than a sack last year.. :awesome_for_real: Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Sauced on June 10, 2008, 11:33:01 AM In. Can't wait to see which draft picks of mine get laughed at this year. And my user text is out of date. :drill:
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: WayAbvPar on June 10, 2008, 11:35:15 AM If your Bears love induces you to draft Cedric Benson, I will definitely laugh at you :grin:
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Sauced on June 10, 2008, 11:49:36 AM Right after you take Shaun Alexander, I'm sure.
(actually, I won't be surprised for a second if Benson signs with another team, and plays really well when he's surrounded by teammates that don't completely hate his guts) Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: shiznitz on June 10, 2008, 12:50:21 PM League started.
ID 13137 pwd aoc4eva http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/13137 (http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/13137) Please please please read the settings and comment. Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: HaemishM on June 10, 2008, 12:55:40 PM In with the Kilt Wavers.
Also, your defensive scoring may be a bit high, but I can dig it. Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: shiznitz on June 10, 2008, 01:06:31 PM Also check the draft date and time. I went late august but it is easier to change it now if someone knows they won't be around.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Rasix on June 10, 2008, 01:19:28 PM In league as R'lyeh City Rollers. Will create the JV team as soon as this one starts nearing capacity.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Sauced on June 10, 2008, 01:38:44 PM Agoraphobes are back to defend. Great draft day/time, as far as I'm concerned.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: murdoc on June 10, 2008, 01:49:16 PM Bandwagon is IN.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: El Gallo on June 10, 2008, 01:52:56 PM Roosters are back!
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Rasix on June 10, 2008, 01:54:07 PM Agoraphobes are back to defend. That loss still haunts me. Still, I've done well the past couple years. I'm due for a cellar battle. Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: WayAbvPar on June 10, 2008, 02:08:26 PM In. My team name was a spur of the moment thing- was trying to think of a name when trotski IM'ed me a Top 10 Hottest Athletes link. I was inspired.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Sauced on June 10, 2008, 03:30:01 PM That loss still haunts me. I'm not saying that you changed your avatar to Chigurh back then just to scare me, but... Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Phildo on June 10, 2008, 09:04:29 PM In as well. I'll try not to embarrass myself so badly this year. I still don't understand how I'm so much better at fantasy hockey than football.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: stu on June 10, 2008, 09:36:27 PM I'm in if you guys are looking for some new blood.

I look forward to continuing my tradition of mediocrity with F13 leagues. Drink Like a Champion Today Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Rasix on June 11, 2008, 03:18:26 PM We're at 12. Might be a good idea to lock this bitch up before someone has to draft Marcel Shipp.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: cmlancas on June 11, 2008, 04:05:14 PM I call shenanigry! I want into the big boys' league.
How the hell did I miss this anyway? >< Whatever, I'll just have to re-peat in the JV league. :awesome_for_real: Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Paelos on June 11, 2008, 08:07:45 PM Are we sure we dont want to make it 16 this year? It makes for a more realistic playoff and team setup imo since people have to go a bit deeper into the lineups.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: stu on June 11, 2008, 10:15:00 PM I'm for it. The move will make things more interesting and tactful. And fun!
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Phildo on June 11, 2008, 10:19:24 PM Agreed. Let CMLancas play with the big kids this year :drill:
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Rasix on June 12, 2008, 12:50:00 AM Going to 14 is OK. Not good, but doable. I really don't suggest anything more than that.
You do not want 16. It's no fun when one guy is the only one who had his draft pan out and just steam rolls everyone that's reduced to starting 2nd stringers. You'll have extreme depth issues across the board that while they might seem challenging are just no fun. How am I supposed to get excited about starting Marty Booker and Matt Jones? We could let CM in and relegate Phil to the minor leagues for his terrible performance last year. Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: MrHat on June 12, 2008, 04:58:12 AM Going to 14 is OK.

Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: murdoc on June 12, 2008, 05:44:02 AM 14 is stretching it, 16 is PAINFUL imo.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Sauced on June 12, 2008, 06:48:47 AM 2005 - 12 - I win.
2006 - 14 - I lose. 2007 - 12 - I win. I vote for 12! Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Paelos on June 12, 2008, 07:13:18 AM I want 14 then. There's obviously interest. TBH, last season there were too many 130+ point weeks for my tastes, and it got a little ridiculous.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: shiznitz on June 12, 2008, 10:17:40 AM Expanding to 14 but not 16. I am also going to remove an active roster position to compensate.
edit: 14 it is. Changed from QB,WR,WR,RB,TE,W/R to QB,WR,RB,WR/TE,WR/RB There are barely 6 good TEs in the league so it seems nuts to have 14 in action every week. The 0.5/reception makes short yardage WRs a bit more viable as well. Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: WayAbvPar on June 12, 2008, 10:34:26 AM I would rather see 2 mandatory WRs. There are tons of them available, while RBs are at a premium. If you give everyone the choice between a 2nd RB and a 2nd WR, it is no contest, and then the first 5 rounds are 40 RBs 5 WRs, a TE or two, and 10 QBs. Bleah.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Phildo on June 12, 2008, 10:35:55 AM Rasix has unmanned me.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: HaemishM on June 12, 2008, 10:36:24 AM I'm with Way on that one. There are more acceptable WR's than top-line RB's these days with all the two-back systems.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: cmlancas on June 12, 2008, 10:42:54 AM Alright, bitches. The Pants Party is ready for the big time this year.
May we have another 0-5 start and then steamroll the rest of the season. :drill: Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Paelos on June 12, 2008, 12:29:53 PM I would agree with that WR/RB to just WR shift. I think the amount of solid WR's makes 2 of them worthy, while RB's make that just a mad dash for 2 RB spots early.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Zetleft on June 13, 2008, 12:52:36 PM Am I late again to the party :pedobear:
Nevermind I made it in the last spot :drill: Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: shiznitz on June 13, 2008, 01:11:35 PM Will dump WR/RB for WR.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: MuffinMan on June 13, 2008, 02:08:07 PM ARG how in the hell did I miss this again? In for JV again I guess if there is enough interest to make a 2nd league.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: WayAbvPar on June 13, 2008, 02:34:21 PM As per usual, I will happily fill in a do double duty if we need more live bodies for the JV league.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: MrHat on June 14, 2008, 07:42:52 AM I could as well. Although, I tend to lose focus when presented with more than one issue.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: cmlancas on June 15, 2008, 09:32:39 AM I'll do JV again too. Four teams isn't too much...
RIGHT? RIGHT? :drill: :drill: :drill: Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Zetleft on June 15, 2008, 12:58:13 PM I'll do JV again too. Four teams isn't too much... RIGHT?

Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Rasix on June 15, 2008, 06:39:06 PM I'll start the JV league up again; most likely on Monday.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: murdoc on June 16, 2008, 08:01:45 AM Add me to the list of people to fill in the JV league if needed.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Nebu on June 16, 2008, 08:07:27 AM I just got back from a trip. Am I too late to get in?
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Rasix on June 16, 2008, 08:11:55 AM For the first league, yes.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Rasix on June 16, 2008, 08:26:18 AM Second league is up.

:pedobear: Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: HaemishM on June 16, 2008, 10:57:14 AM I'll take a spot in the 2nd league if there is one left after all the ones who missed the first one get a slot. Just let us know.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Rasix on June 16, 2008, 11:15:35 AM I'd propose you just take them whenver you want. I don't think anyone here would be overly upset if they were asked to drop from the second league.
Edit: Good to see MuffinMan already made it in. Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: HaemishM on June 16, 2008, 11:39:32 AM All right then, Kilt Wavers JV is in the house. :drill:
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: El Gallo on June 16, 2008, 11:41:47 AM Why not make two leagues but treat them as two divisions? Have two 12-team leagues (or 10 even) and cut a week off the season length of each. Those can be our "conferences". Then have the winner of each play each other for the f13 e-peen of the year award?
That way, we can have more people playing but won't have the "My starting back is a fourth-stringer for the Bucs" problem, since every player could be basically used twice. I guess you couldn't have cross-"conference" trades with that setup, and would need to score the championship game by hand, but it might be worth it. Anyway, just an idea. Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Rasix on June 19, 2008, 09:42:52 AM Need signups for the second league. If we don't get at least 8.. :dead_horse:
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: WayAbvPar on June 19, 2008, 09:43:30 AM I was waiting to see if anyone else wanted in before I double down. Will give it a couple more days.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: murdoc on June 19, 2008, 09:45:06 AM I was waiting too, but have signed up. If it fills and you need me to drop, just lemme know.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: MuffinMan on June 19, 2008, 09:49:34 AM If we don't get 8 for the JV league there will be violence.

Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Rasix on July 31, 2008, 01:03:17 PM Not really much of a difference between the two. It's existence owes itself to there being too many people that want to play fantasy football. It's not some sort of degenerate relegation league.

Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Nebu on August 01, 2008, 06:06:48 AM Go ahead and boot me. I've got a full plate this year.
UPDATE: I left the league, so you should be good with an even number of teams. Hope that helps. Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Rasix on August 04, 2008, 02:54:04 PM Alrighty, I was hoping for a double leaguer to drop, but this will work. Thanks, Nebu.

I have way too much on my plate this fall.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Bungee on August 20, 2008, 08:46:57 AM Signed up for a Fantasy Game for the first time of my life...
And needless to say, I screwed up as I just once made small list of players I'd like to sign and then don't check when the draft was... Being a Steeler fan, one half of my players now are from PIT (Big Ben, Parker,Holmes, Harrison, Woodley and the D itself) , and the other half either didn't play last season (Pacman, Antonio Bryant), are rookies (Chris Johnson, Rashard Mendenhall as a handcuff, Mayo), or Returners/3rd stringers (Steve Breaston). Oh and also featuring: Jeff Reed, Champ Bailey and Angelo Crowell. Any suggestions as how to survive in a head-to-head league with Defensive points assigned? If anyone is bored- here are the exact rules (http://rules). Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: El Gallo on August 25, 2008, 08:55:48 AM Am I reading correctly that there is a TE/WR slot (i.e that we don't have to start a TE at all and cannot start more than 1 RB). I'm not complaining -- I actually like that setup in a league this size -- I just want to make sure this is Working As Intended.
I'm about to undergo my annual ritual of getting frantically obsessive over who to draft at the last minute after not reading anything beforehand, with the result of putting together a squad worse than autodraft would give me! Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Paelos on August 25, 2008, 01:19:52 PM My Squad of Attack Monkies will destroy you all. I just wanted to let you know that before the draft so you don't get any big ideas.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Sauced on August 25, 2008, 01:57:27 PM The WR/TE slot is a little weird. I may have missed that vote.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: WayAbvPar on August 25, 2008, 02:05:45 PM I never noticed that either. Any way we can change it before the draft tomorrow? Otherwise you might as well just make it a WR slot with exceptions for 3 or 4 TEs in the league.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: murdoc on August 25, 2008, 09:14:06 PM Sucks, I'm gonna miss the live draft tomorrow night as it's the middle of playoffs right now for me.
Autodraft SUCKS and I just haven't had the time to read up on what the fuck is going on in the nfl. Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Paelos on August 26, 2008, 10:32:52 AM I have to miss live draft because of a WoW raid, but I preranked my players.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Rasix on August 26, 2008, 10:44:29 AM I think an auto draft would do better than me right now. I haven't been paying attention to the NFL at all.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: shiznitz on August 26, 2008, 03:12:06 PM I went W/T because with 14 teams, less than half will get a quality TE. Also, the point system favors WRs with only 10yds per point and a whopping .5 per reception.
The limited roster is there to make sure all 14 teams have at least two decent players somewhere. 14 RBs is a stretch, too, but injuries always make back-up selection impoirtant and that will go double with this league. Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: WayAbvPar on August 26, 2008, 03:54:45 PM Might as well just eliminate the position then. Who the hell would play a TE when they could play a WR?
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Rasix on August 26, 2008, 04:31:10 PM I wouldn't mind forcing someone to to have a TE. At least then we don't have a defacto 3 WR league with 14 teams.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Sauced on August 26, 2008, 04:47:57 PM Being aware of the gap between the top 3-4 TEs and everyone else, knowing when to pull the trigger to best take advantage of that gap, and alternatively knowing when to avoid the TE rush if you miss the top, is part of the strategy involved in drafting well. Eliminating it removes that from the equation. That, and making RB a single position, has basically it ok to auto draft this year.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Rasix on August 26, 2008, 04:50:40 PM Plus, you never know when you'll grab they next Jermaine Wiggins.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: shiznitz on August 26, 2008, 05:29:22 PM Top 5 TEs better than second quintile of WRs.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Phildo on August 26, 2008, 07:17:18 PM Oh god, I forgot what TIME the draft was... autodraft doesn't know very much about having backups.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Zetleft on August 26, 2008, 08:33:25 PM Fucking autodraft... I told myself to not forget it when I did my live draft a few days ago in my other league and still I drop the ball. Drafted me 2 TEs when i don't even need one, not happy.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: murdoc on August 26, 2008, 08:53:09 PM Goddammit, I thought I dropped all the Kickers and DEF low in my autodraft list, yet I'm still taking them in the 6th and 7th rounds. I did something wrong.
Oh well, I have no QB and an overall weak team. Le sigh. I really tried to pre-rank my players too. Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Paelos on August 26, 2008, 10:00:07 PM Somehow I always get Bouldin and Brees. I hate them both.

Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Paelos on August 27, 2008, 08:25:20 AM With this few roster positions, it's sort of hard to work out any kind of good trades. Why did we have only one RB position?
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: murdoc on August 27, 2008, 08:29:08 AM Because no one commented on it earlier when the league was set up two months ago?

Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: shiznitz on August 27, 2008, 09:57:52 AM With this few roster positions, it's sort of hard to work out any kind of good trades. Why did we have only one RB position? Try and name 14 quality RBs. I dare you. You cannot even do it with a list in front of you. Having just one RB spot shouldn't change the value of other RBs as far as trades go. Backups are still key. There are 5-6 quality QBs. Anyone who has one is not giving him up. There are 5-6 premier WRs. Anyone that has one is not giving him up. Trading: 1) At least 3 starting RBs won't finish the season so grab a backup now and hope he has value later. 2) You trade top tier for top tier when you think your guy has already blown his wad due to matchups. 3) I haven't seen them a lot with the f13 group, but trading a Larry Johnson for Rudi Johnson+Kevin Jones is stupid. Only one RB spot should discourage that maneuver. Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Sauced on August 27, 2008, 10:21:05 AM LT
Adrian Peterson Joseph Addai Marion Barber Maurice Jones Drew Clinton Portis Brian Westbrook Marshawn Lynch Thomas Jones Jamal Lewis Willis McGahee Willie Parker Larry Johnson Stephen Jackson Off the top of my head. I didn't even get into any of the rookies with potential, guys who could perform better, or too many guys who play in a rotation. The standard roster works because it drives strategy and tactics during the draft and forces owners who want to win to work the waiver wire and free agents during the season. Limiting the roster places too much emphasis on the draft and makes playing the game during the season relatively meaningless, while almost insuring that a single injury will ruin someone's season. Probably more than one at this point. Changes to the standard rules usually come from people who don't do that well when playing by the standard rules, and instead of adapting and learning how to win, they assume that it's the rules themselves that are faulty and must be changed. Just saying. Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: MrHat on August 27, 2008, 10:23:17 AM Whoa, you sound bitter.
It's not like you got 2 TE's autodrafted for a W/T slot. Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Sauced on August 27, 2008, 10:42:01 AM Me? I'm not bitter. I just think about this shit too much.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: WayAbvPar on August 27, 2008, 11:52:24 AM Sure, you aren't bitter, because no one stole Cutler and Seattle D from underneath you! :awesome_for_real:
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Paelos on August 27, 2008, 12:07:09 PM Well shit, I guess I just became a huge Saints supporter. I'll never root for the Skins as a Cowboys fan, but if Portis wants to get a few garbage touchdowns on the way to a 45-24 loss, I'm game.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: cmlancas on August 27, 2008, 02:26:35 PM Jesus Christ. My internet just came back up. I wonder how fucking horrible my team is.
:why_so_serious: Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: cmlancas on August 27, 2008, 02:28:40 PM What the fuck. How the fucking shit do I have two kickers and two defenses?
WHAT THE FUCK MAN! :uhrr: :uhrr: Edit: It could've been worse. A pretty decent TE and WR were out there, even if one has to sit out for a few games because he's a cocksucker. Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: El Gallo on August 27, 2008, 04:23:37 PM Limiting the roster places too much emphasis on the draft and makes playing the game during the season relatively meaningless, while almost insuring that a single injury will ruin someone's season. Probably more than one at this point. I'm not really seeing the injury part. I woudl think that only having 1 RB slot makes a team much less likely to be sunk by an injury. With 1 RB, the median team has one of the top 14 backs as a starter, and one of the #15-28 backs as a backup. With 2, you have one of the top 14 as a starter, one of the #15-28 backs as a starter, and one of the #29-42 backs as a backup. When the inevitable ACL assplosion of your #1 back happens in our league, you replace him with Brandon Jacobs or Earnest Graham. It hurts, no doubt. But in the 2 back league your replacement is in the Jerious Norwood/Justin Fargas neighborhood, and you are utterly fucked. I don't feel very strongly either way, but I don't see it as a huge flaw. The more teams in the league, the more 1RB makes sense to me. On the "draft means everything" point, I think the relative importance of the draft vs the trade/free-agent game is based on the number of reserves you are allowed to carry more than anything else. In 18 or 20 round leagues, the draft means everything because everyone is handcuffed, and their handcuffs are handcuffed, and every potential gem is already on a roster. Bad draft = no chance. However, I may be totally wrong. In my opinion, Fantasy Football is all about talking shit with you Internet people when some-guy-I-picked-for-no-good-reason runs in an utterly meaningless TD in the last second of some blowout game I would never be watching but for the fantasy interest, allowing me to eeke out a 1 point win, thereby proving the superior length and girth of my e-football-penis to all the ladies watching. And of course whining like a bitch when the same happens to me. These things I can do with any roster configuration! Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: stu on August 27, 2008, 04:39:39 PM I have high hopes for Ted Ginn Jr. :-P
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Rasix on August 27, 2008, 04:43:22 PM If anyone has issues with league 2's roster, let me know now.
QB WR WR RB TE WR/RB K DEF I think this should work well for a 12 team league. Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: shiznitz on August 28, 2008, 03:36:52 PM This is the first time I have ever gone with a 1 RB roster. I concede that it might be extreme because in the 12 team league I drafted for last night, the RB situation wasn't that horrible. I just had to spend more bench slots on backups.
Now, as to changing it because I suck and cannot l2p, I did win the f13 2005 season, but have never been close since. Last year I was so royally fucked by the autodraft (3 TEs!) it was almost charming, though. Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Sauced on August 28, 2008, 03:52:08 PM You mean 06?
Anyway, at the end of day I suppose I'm a luddite about the rules, and like the importance of drafting a second RB (it's always been a potential weak spot, even in 10 team leagues). Sorry for the "people who change the rules suck at the game" comment, that was uncalled for! In 05, I missed the first round and the comp drafted Priest Holmes. In the 2nd, I took Terrell Owens. Both missed the season. I won our league that year in no small part because I took Thomas Jones in the 8th round because he was a 20-25 touch-per-game starter and shouldn't have been available at that point. 1300 yards and 10tds later, he made up for Holmes' absence in a big way. I made up for the Owens injury/suspension by watching waivers like a hawk all season, but WR wasn't as important in a 2 RB league. If it had been a 1 RB league, the loss of Owens would have been the injury that tanked me, as everyone would have correctly stockpiled WRs. That's the injury I was talking about, not the Holmes injury. Sorry for the rambling, just threw down a double americano and I'm not used to espresso. Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Paelos on August 28, 2008, 03:58:43 PM It's not a terrible thing to have 1 RB, but what it does is force you to have a fucking stellar QB or you're sunk. Everyone else will just shuffle around WRs while nothing else will change. We'll all deal with the same issues, so nothing is out of whack in the competition level, but it's not a rule I'd repeat.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Zetleft on August 28, 2008, 08:28:33 PM Whoa, you sound bitter. It's not like you got 2 TE's autodrafted for a W/T slot. At least you got Witten in that deal, should do better then alot of WRs out there. Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Nebu on August 29, 2008, 07:10:53 AM Small team requirements tend to favor the best drafter. Larger, more restrictive team requirements tend to favor the best manager. It's really up to you to decide how casual you want the leagues. Forcing people into tough decisions by requiring 2-3 RB and 2 QB's will test you throughout the season. Having a small roster favors casual play. Then it's really decided by injuries and sleepers.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Phildo on August 29, 2008, 02:34:59 PM I like my starters, but I'm fucked on by weeks and if any of them get injured. (Wesbrook, I'm looking at you!)
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Rasix on August 30, 2008, 01:52:04 PM Eh, I thought the second league had 12 players. Did a couple drop out? Teams are going to be tough this year.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Rasix on August 30, 2008, 02:42:26 PM 2 more bench slots opened.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: El Gallo on September 04, 2008, 06:40:01 AM My QB situation is a little dire, at least until Steve Smith comes back to make Jake Delhomme decent. Why I picked Jason Campbell after watching most of the 'Skins preseason games, I know not.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: WayAbvPar on September 04, 2008, 09:22:07 AM Zorn is going to throw the ball, so Campbell will have a chance to pile up some stats. I think he will be decent.
First game tonight! Don't forget to set your lineup! Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: cmlancas on September 04, 2008, 07:10:15 PM Zorn is going to throw the ball, so Campbell will have a chance to pile up some stats. He might've been better than Manning on the fantasy stat sheet, but he definitely wasn't anyone to write home about. Really, not very many people were, other than Brandon Jacobs (14.7pts in one of my leagues). Boss put up a big goose egg for me. :drillf: Edit: Oh, Burress had a nice game too, but it was too bad he couldn't come up with a TD to put him into the 20+ point range. Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: HaemishM on September 04, 2008, 08:58:16 PM Wow, Washington looked like utter shit. Spent the first half with their heads up their asses. If the Giants had any ability to finish, that game would have been a route. Most of the Burress catches looked like a game of pitch and catch in the park. Dreadful start for the Skins.

To make it even better: My head-to-head opponent this week got 23 points out of London Fletcher (LB for the 'skins) and 22 for the Manning/Burress combo he calls his own. I'm so praying for an ugly stomping of the Texans at the hand of the Steelers and a guy formerly known as "Pacman" to make some plays this sunday. Bad thing is, I can't even watch- sailing in croatia the whole week :) Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: cmlancas on September 06, 2008, 05:31:14 AM I'm not loving the fact that my awesome RB plays for that bunch of asses.

Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: shiznitz on September 07, 2008, 08:02:33 PM Brees started slow and then came out of nowhere in the second half. Also, Atlanta looked good today. No denying that but a rookie QB and RB? This won't end well. Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: HaemishM on September 08, 2008, 07:58:28 AM Brady hurt. :awesome_for_real: FUCK! Welp, if he really is out for the season like they are saying, I'm in the market for a fucking Quarterback in the F13 league. FUCKITY FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK. I don't think Schaub can cut the mustard as my starter. I will listen to pretty much any offer, but if you want Greg Jennigs, who appears to be my only stud left on this team, you are going to have to come with at least 2 players. Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: MrHat on September 08, 2008, 08:03:58 AM I've got his backup I think.

Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Sauced on September 08, 2008, 10:44:48 AM Wow, rough start. In my other league, every starter scored at least one TD, including the defense, so I guess this was karma.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: HaemishM on September 08, 2008, 11:27:07 AM I'm willing to trade Kitna for Coles, if you're interested. I love Jennings, but unless you want Bobby Engram or Randle El, I don't have much to offer alongside Kitna in a two player swap. Coles is the one I want, though. I might be if it's confirmed that Brady's definitely out. The Lions are going to suck hard this year, but they have good wideouts. Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: stu on September 08, 2008, 12:15:26 PM I'm interested in Crayton also. He's a 3rd option for Romo, but I'm looking to maximize any trade. Crayton would still be an upgrade for me.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: HaemishM on September 08, 2008, 12:46:41 PM Brady's out. Anyone interested in anything I have, send me some actual offers for a QB. I'll look over any I get before Wednesday morning and make my decision then.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Sauced on September 08, 2008, 02:14:25 PM Let's see how Cutler and Rodgers do tonight, I may have something for you as well.

I'll look over any I get before Wednesday morning and make my decision then. You still might squeak out a win since I got boned by having my kicker and TE benched. As far as a QB, Schaub should be ok. You missed out on a good RB by taking Brady and no trade is going to fix that. Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: HaemishM on September 08, 2008, 08:56:28 PM AARON RODGERS - TCB, BITCHES!
I have no worries about Rodgers as QB for the Packers. I thought he'd be good and he didn't disappoint. He'd have been better with a decent running game and an O-Line that wasn't committing penalties every second play. But the Vikes are a good defense, at least against the run, and he made some damn good plays. I still don't think the Pack will be 13-3 but the Vikings don't seem that improved from last year and the Lions are abysmal. If the Bears are as for real as they looked, it'll be a good division. Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Paelos on September 08, 2008, 09:38:49 PM Somehow I always get Bouldin and Brees. I hate them both. Let's talk trade.

I mean, I'm from colorado and it was 'our guyz' who were beating the shit out of those fuckers, and there was a rightful rivalry for which denver deserved to kick the shit out of them (shanahan was boned unfairly by the owner of the raiders) so it was a righteous and good beating, and yet it was still so gratuitous that I was wincing. Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: El Gallo on September 09, 2008, 07:06:34 AM All I need is for Aaron Rogers to collapse under the pressure and heave a bunch of picks to steal the win! Every year there's a defense that gets a shit-ton of turnovers, and every year that team regresses toward the mean the following season. Yet every year I blow a too-early Fantasy pick on last year's "that team." As a fan, though, it was good to see Rogers play so well. All I need now (in addition to the now-obvious Steeler Super Bowl win) is to watch Favre's inevitable implosion and my season will be complete!

Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: shiznitz on September 17, 2008, 05:34:38 AM I now concede that one RB slot is stupid. I should have done a RB/WR flex and a pure TE slot.
What changed my mind? Wiith 14 teams, the depths we have to plumb in WR land are deep. Deep to the point that there are RBs on the RB-by-committee teams that would be competitive with many of the WRs that are getting roster slots. I tried to get cute and gave up flexibility to manage one's team week to week. Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: HaemishM on September 17, 2008, 08:03:06 AM You bastard. :grin:
Weird fucking weekend in football. That Denver/San Diego game? Fucked. Totally fucked. How you can 1) call that Cutler fumble an incomplete pass to begin with, 2) review it and call it a fumble and STILL not give possession to the correct team and 3) admit you fucked up and fall back on the "rules wouldn't allow it" schtick... no, fuck that. You blew the call and replay was put in to fix that kind of shit. The whistle should never enter into it. Either the whistle is the final arbiter or the replay is. And how is it that the NFL is STILL relying on the TV cameras to capture their replay video and not their own cameras? Suck it up, NFL. Either spend the money to install your own official cameras and then use them to the fullest, including when some mongoloid gets a jumpy whistle, or scrap the whole goddamn system. That game was a joke. Colts... WTF? It takes 7 quarters into the season before you start acting like an offense? Minnesota should have buried the Colts, but they stopped giving Peterson the ball and Tavaris Jackson let the Colts back into the game. Vikings face facts. He blows. He will probably never be consistent enough to be a starter. Get a good QB to run the offense before Peterson gets run down with 40 rush games. Saints... get a defense. So how the hell did 1) the Packers let Detroit get back in that game and 2) run up 24 points on them in 3 minutes? Even getting blown out, Kitna is a decent fantasy QB for me. He won't replace Brady's points, but I think he might give me more than Schaub would. Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Nebu on September 17, 2008, 08:54:13 AM Maybe Testaverde has a home in Minnesota!
I also want to note that Aaron Rogers has proven that I know nothing about NFL offensive players. The guy is showing more than I ever thought him capable of.

Still, I'm not going to be too upset at tossing up 99 points while one of my WR's didn't even play. What a bunch of pussies. WR's don't get injured this much. Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: stu on September 29, 2008, 09:42:08 AM Haha, yeah that's rough, but I can't say I'm disappointed. I have Bryant on my other league roster, and wasn't too happy to see him put up a goose egg.
I was only able to win my F13 week because Westbrook was held out of his game. I had Westbrook last year, and while being a fantasy juggernaut, I remember two or three games where he sat out due to injury or the defense was so stacked against him, he couldn't pass scrimage. So, it was either a 30 point effort from him or nothing. Glad that nightmare is past me.

Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Rasix on October 06, 2008, 09:50:40 AM I think we need to really stick by the
QB WR WR TE RB WR/RB K DEF roster from now on. Only change due to league size should be maybe removing a WR. Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: HaemishM on October 06, 2008, 09:51:11 AM Man, yet another weird ass football season is just beginning to get weird.
Atlanta... WTF? I realize Green Bay is without Al Harris but you really can't fucking beat Atlanta with a rookie QB? That Colts game was cra-zy. Rosenfels played great until he mistook himself for O.J. Simpson. But then to lose it again on the next drive to lose the game? That's just CRAZY. The Colts played like shit most of the game, and that defense is a fucking nightmare. It isn't just that Sanders is missing and they can't stop the run, it's that they can't stop ANYTHING. Rosenfels passed on them left and right, and it was only when they should have been running the clock out that they really got to him.

Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Sauced on October 09, 2008, 01:58:17 PM Addai has had a rough start to the season, but the Colts have played a lot of really rough run defenses so far.
Things could open up for him - he's on the trading block if any one is interested. I could use help at WR, but I'll listen to anything if it'll get me outta the bottom. Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: HaemishM on October 09, 2008, 02:29:33 PM Addai has had a rough start to the season, but the Colts have played a lot of really rough run defenses so far. No, the Indy line has just been banged up this year along with their new career of sucking the cock. Peyton's been off his game because he had no training camp, the line has stunk and Addai has all too often been dodging motherfuckers in his backfield. Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Sauced on October 09, 2008, 02:31:27 PM Chicago, Minnesota, and Jacksonville have really good defensive lines. Houston is a little softer there, and Addai had arguably his best game of the season.
I stand by my statement! Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: HaemishM on October 09, 2008, 02:42:21 PM The Jags run defense is overrated. There, I said it. :oh_i_see: They are middle of the NFL pack as far as run defense goes, and in the bottom half in yards/game. Houston actually is better in total yards/game, thought not in running yards. Of the 4 teams Indy has played, Houston actually has the best pass defense. /boggle
But yeah, Minnesota and the Bears, tough run defenses. Having their offensive line be injured hasn't helped them at all with any of their games. Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: El Gallo on October 14, 2008, 08:42:29 AM Well, Jason Campbell's brief flirtation with competence came to an end, and TO simply failed to show up against that smothering Cardinals defense.
This is the part where I'd like to cry and whine about being #2 in overall points but only 3-3 because I've been fucked on matchups. But I'm too mature to bitch about the fact that I am #2 in overall points but only 3-3. Because fantasy football is all about good natured fun, even when people get screwed as, for example, could fairly be said of a guy who is #2 in overall points but only 3-3. Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Paelos on October 14, 2008, 09:07:49 AM Oh please, I've lost 2 games and I'm #1 in points. Head to head is still the only way to go. It makes things awesome week to week, and it doesn't reward gigantic freakish performances beyond that particular matchup. You have the bring the noise every game, just like in real sports.
I will still bitch about the number of WRs though. We have guys that are free agents with over 60 points so far, but nobody can use them because they are RBs. We have 13 guys averaging over 10 points a game as free agent runningbacks. We have 32 total WR's that people have on their teams right now that average under 10 points a game. So, I think we can treat this year as the year of the cock (aka loudmouthed WR), and next year we can go back to regular fantasy football. Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: El Gallo on October 14, 2008, 04:08:47 PM I am 100% in favor of head-to-head. Total-point leagues suck. I just enjoy whining. I mean, isn't excuse-making a good 30% of what makes FF entertaining for everyone? I don't mind the different lineups either.
I do mind the relative lack of shit-talking and shit-stirring this year (60% of the fun!). To do my part to rectify this serious problem, I hereby announce my intention to whoop up on the Rollers this week. A serious whooping at that. Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Phildo on October 14, 2008, 07:29:03 PM I'm on an upswing. I predict that I don't lose horribly this year!

I still could have eeked out a win, if Greg Jennings hadn't shit the bed (thanks Packers FUCK!) and Arizona's defense had scored 2 less points. I think my season in the main league is done. Losing Brady has really fucked me. Also, not having a second running back on the roster really makes one starter a complete tossup every week.
I got dickstomped in the minor league because the Packers shit the bed as an offense. Fuckity fuck fuck. Had I started Brees, I still would have lost, though not as bad. Still a tight league with Leinart's Beer Bong dropping 2, but probably still end up in the #1 spot with only 3 weeks left.

That fills me with such fucking confidence, I feel compelled to start Kerry Collins in his place. This has been the year of dickpunches at QB.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: shiznitz on November 21, 2008, 01:43:32 PM You have been a bitch for not playing him sooner.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: stu on November 23, 2008, 01:32:25 PM I'd love to be the one starting the Ravens D right now.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: murdoc on November 24, 2008, 06:36:42 AM #1 vs. #2, and it's not even the playoffs yet. I'm coming for you Murdocs! Dammit, I think I need a bigger lead going into Monday night. Brees can easily make up that difference. Calgary Stampeders win the Grey Cup! Calgary Stampeders win the Grey Cup! Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: HaemishM on November 24, 2008, 08:34:39 AM Holy fuck, I need Jennings to have a MAMMOTH tonight to win in the main league.
I have no hope in the JV league. My entire fucking team shit the bed, and even if they hadn't, Rasix's team just put up the monster of all weeks. Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Rasix on November 24, 2008, 10:46:16 AM You like that beating? :grin:
Baltimore D, Michael Turner, TO, and Philip Rivers :drill:. Just think if the rest of the team performed. Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: HaemishM on November 24, 2008, 11:11:56 AM There isn't a Sunday that goes by that I don't regret not drafting Michael Turner when I had the chance. Of course, RB hasn't been much of a problem for me in both leagues, except when Willie Parker's labia gets sprained.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Nebu on November 24, 2008, 11:13:55 AM ... except when Willie Parker's labia gets sprained. I have Parker in two leagues. This made me laugh out loud... Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: shiznitz on November 25, 2008, 05:20:09 AM Big battle for the last two playoff spots this week.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Paelos on November 25, 2008, 10:25:03 AM Dear Drew Brees,
You rock. Thanks for hanging 4TD's and 300+ yards on Green Bay. See you after the playoff bye week you just secured me. Signed, Paelos Attack Monkies II Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: HaemishM on November 25, 2008, 11:21:18 AM Thank you, Plaxico Burress' hamstring, for giving my opponent 0 points - you gave me a real outside shot at the last playoff spot in the regular league. But then, I'll need some help.
Rub n' a Tug and Stokking Allison - need you to step up next week and put a walloping on your opponents. Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: El Gallo on December 03, 2008, 01:45:18 PM Bye week will be crucial to getting my boys healthy for the playoffs!
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: HaemishM on December 03, 2008, 02:00:43 PM I missed the playoffs in the A league by 41 points. Fuck.
Made it to 2nd place and a bye in the JV league. Some not good matchups for me that week. Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Paelos on December 03, 2008, 03:07:27 PM I got my bye, which is nice, but my playoff run comes down to whether or not Arizona loses this week. If they win, they will likely sit my two best WR's because they will have clinched the division and have no realistic chance at a first round bye. Should they lose, it means they need to keep playing starters.
That's the one downside of the playoffs. People with great performers with huge leads are gonna get screwed. The upside is it's exciting as hell. Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Phildo on December 04, 2008, 05:44:13 AM We could let CM in and relegate Phil to the minor leagues for his terrible performance last year. Quoting to gloat about making the playoffs. Wherein I expect to be put back in my place quickly. Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: shiznitz on December 05, 2008, 02:14:56 PM I don't need a bye. 18-1 is going to get crushed.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: cmlancas on December 08, 2008, 03:32:22 PM Man. I've gotten rocked this fantasy season in all my leagues.
Oh well. I'm alive btw :P GO BUCS! Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Rasix on December 08, 2008, 03:45:12 PM Man. I've gotten rocked this fantasy season in all my leagues. Oh well. I'm alive btw :P GO BUCS! I have a feeling I'm going to lose this one when the Carolina offense turns into the Jake Delhomme turnover party. Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Phildo on December 08, 2008, 06:03:25 PM I don't need a bye. 18-1 is going to get crushed. Quoting for truthiness. Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: shiznitz on December 09, 2008, 05:04:35 AM I don't need a bye. 18-1 is going to get crushed. Quoting for truthiness. NOT! 32 points from my defense was not enough. On to the battle of the douches. Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Rasix on December 14, 2008, 01:18:08 PM My team's putting up some big numbers, Haem. This could get ugly.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: HaemishM on December 14, 2008, 06:03:09 PM Yeah, I thought I was in good shape because Rivers was shitting the bed. Then he comes back in the 4th quarter with like 200 yards and some TD's. WTF? Not to mention that Rodgers did worse than Brees, Wayne got no TD's and Dallas Clark had one helluva game. It may actually come down to my defense and kicker.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Rasix on December 14, 2008, 06:51:36 PM Turner and Rhodes both had huge games also. It doesn't look like the Baltimore D is going to put many points on the board though. Fitzgerald had a ho-hum game and it looks like QB-killer Owens is doing the same. Still, the score I put up on you should be epic.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Paelos on December 14, 2008, 07:30:06 PM I'm going to lose horribly because my receivers all went to shit at the end of the season. Arizona had nothing to play for and it showed. Honestly, it's not a great week for either team, but I think I'll get edged out with a Westbrook domination on Monday.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Phildo on December 14, 2008, 10:52:11 PM Don't lose hope yet Paelos, Westbrook is listed as "questionable". Again.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Paelos on December 15, 2008, 05:38:19 AM Don't lose hope yet Paelos, Westbrook is listed as "questionable". Again. Didn't matter. Steve Smith had 27 points and sunk me. That's the advantage of having a quality receiver with something to play for late in the year. The really frustrating part is that I put the best lineup out there that I could with my team, given the ton of injuries. I will reiterate again that I didn't like living and dying with WR's this year specifically because their performances vary so wildly from week to week, but we all know it was a mistake by now and won't be repeated next season. Still, we all played with the same handicap this year, and I don't begrudge the loss at all. It's just another reason for me to root against the Cardinals in the playoffs now since they screwed me. :awesome_for_real: Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Murgos on December 15, 2008, 06:27:15 AM 9/10ths of a point behind. We shall kick to victory!
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: El Gallo on December 15, 2008, 07:58:21 AM Goddamnit. Some horrible coaching lost that one. I overslept past the 1:00 games and had to replace Jacobs with Sammy Morris instead of Dominic Rhodes, but would've lost anyway due to Fitzgerals and Owens shitting their respective beds. Also, WTF 'Skins D, WTF?
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: shiznitz on December 15, 2008, 11:34:31 AM On to the bronze metal game for me! Andre Johnson is finishing the year spectacularly (thanks to matchups).
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: HaemishM on December 15, 2008, 11:44:42 AM Yeah, Rasix my entire team just laid down, while yours had a monstrous day. I would have never expected Rhodes and Clark both to have the days they did. And you better believe I'm kicking myself for not drafting Michael Turner.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: WayAbvPar on December 15, 2008, 11:52:21 AM I just need Akers to get hit by a bus before getting into the stadium, or to have Cleveland shut out Philly. I am praying for a blizzard.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Phildo on December 21, 2008, 03:43:39 PM Looks like my team gave up on me this week.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Murgos on December 22, 2008, 04:19:38 AM Half my team just decided they weren't interested in finishing out the season in good form. Congrats Rasix!
Good season everyone in the Minor Leagues! :awesome_for_real: Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Phildo on December 22, 2008, 05:14:21 AM Worst. Finals. Ever.
WTF Kurt Warner. Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: shiznitz on December 22, 2008, 06:48:08 AM 5th place for me. *belch*
Next year, 2 RBs for sure. Chock it up to a bad experiment. Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Rasix on December 22, 2008, 10:06:21 AM My team picked a good time of the year to get hot. Two blowouts in a row. I really thought you'd end up scoring more though, Murg.
We may have been the minors, but at least we least we played with real rosters. :grin: The rosters worked for the most part, but they would have been stretched pretty thin with more than 12. I think 12 is the sweet spot and at 14 you start running into issues with "scrubitis". And thank you all for not letting Phil win. Remember, this is a dude that drafted Vince Young in the first round. Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: murdoc on December 22, 2008, 10:07:57 AM I got my ass kicked in pretty much all aspects of Fantasy Football this year. Poor drafting and VERY POOR management of my teams. Sucks when I can't spend half my work days organizing my teams.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Phildo on December 22, 2008, 10:09:30 AM Hey now, I was impetuous and foolish in my fantasy football youth. I've matured a lot in the last year.
Also, I know who most of the players are now! Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Paelos on December 22, 2008, 10:44:01 AM Man, this season is REALLY ending with a whimper. Just awful.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: HaemishM on December 22, 2008, 10:53:56 AM Yeah, if I had actually put Reggie Wayne in, my 3rd place game might have been close. Alas, I expected Detroit's offense to get SOMETHING against New Orleans shittastic defense, but they couldn't even manage that. Fucking Detroit.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Murgos on December 22, 2008, 11:56:55 AM My team picked a good time of the year to get hot. Two blowouts in a row. I really thought you'd end up scoring more though, Murg. Me too. Boldin decided it was time for a vacation and Santana Moss went on vacation 3 weeks ago. If it hadn't been for Antonio Bryant remembering halfway through his 7th year in the NFL that he does know how to play football I never even would have made the playoffs. Add in an abysmal game (8 points) by the leagues leading rusher, 0 points from my kicker (who I debated replacing Sunday morning), and -1 point from the usually sturdy, and 4th ranked, Giants D and frankly I am AMAZED I pulled almost 90 points out of my ass. Your team was solid though, you have good people at each position and so you totally deserved the win. Title: Re: Fantasy Football '08 Post by: Zetleft on December 25, 2008, 09:01:22 AM I got my ass kicked in pretty much all aspects of Fantasy Football this year. Poor drafting and VERY POOR management of my teams. Sucks when I can't spend half my work days organizing my teams. ditto Worst FF year for me ever. |
