Fantasy Football '08

[Paelos]

Reggie Bush saved my ass last night! Oh yeaaah.

I expected to lose this week due to half my team being injured or on the bye week, but damn if Bush didn't happen to have a career game and yank away my chance to steal one.

Ah well, Bouldin will be back by next week hopefully, and it looks like Dante Stallworth will finally start as well.

[stu]

Yeah, I was sweating after being down at the end of the Sunday's games and seeing you with Brees on your roster for Monday Night.

[Sauced]

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.

[HaemishM]

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.

[Sauced]

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!

[HaemishM]

The Jags run defense is overrated. There, I said it.  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.

[El Gallo]

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.

[Paelos]

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.

[El Gallo]

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.

[Phildo]

I'm on an upswing.  I predict that I don't lose horribly this year!

[Paelos]

I could not have had a better opponent for when all my good WRs are on a bye. I have a chance of beating The Pants Party!


Everyone else has! 

[cmlancas]

This whole W/T thing is really throwing me off. I'm at least .500 and 4-2 in my other fantasy leagues....

 

[Paelos]

Due to not enough smack talk...

I'm whooping all your asses. At least try to show up with your pitiful teams. When I'm winning games with half my starters out, just imagine what I can do when it's hitting on all cylinders.

You're doomed! 

[stu]

Hey, I seem to remember handing you your first loss, bud! You're officially back on my radar!

[Phildo]

Hey Paelos, look who you're tied with.  Yeah, it's me!

[El Gallo]

Unless Larry Fitz blows up tonight, I am going to lose to the Drunks.  The Drunks started two byes.  I r teh sux.

Just get Arizona to spread it around! My entire week rides on 3 of those guys stomping SF into the ground.

[Phildo]

If Kurt Warner gets me 35 points I win.  If Tim Hightower is a pimp I win my other league.  Close games in both

Kurt played well, but I don't think THAT well. Hightower had an average game.

My guys kicked ass though! Winner winner, chicken dinner!

Looks like you managed to eek out a win.  Yeah was busy living it up in houston (ren faire) this past weekend so didn't really manage any of my teams :p 

Had byes in both my other leagues as well, lost them all but was closer than I thought they would be due to some unexpected big games. 

[HaemishM]

Motherfuck. Didn't realize that Derek Anderson had been benched, so he ends up getting me fuckall. 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.

[WayAbvPar]

I am getting some guys back from injury soon, so hopefully my dominance in the minor league will get back on track 

[Paelos]

Portis may still be out for this week, so ugh! Luckily, I'm essentially playing half the Arizona Cardinals offense and winning games. It boggles the mind.

[MuffinMan]

I picked up Warner in both of my leagues right after the drafts when he got the No. 1 job over Leinhart. He's been working out pretty well for me 

[HaemishM]

He can't be doing worse than my quinella of suck at QB. I've gone through Derek Anderson, Gus Frerrote, Kerry Collins, Matt Schaub, and am trying out Brady Quinn FFS.

[MuffinMan]

You had Rodgers shit his pants in the JV league this week too.

[HaemishM]

Yeah, but even with Brees and non-suck numbers for Jennings, I wouldn't have won.

[Paelos]

Brees didn't play his best, even though he had over 400 yards. That garbage TD with no time left really pumped up his stats.

[shiznitz]

Thigpen is giving me a run for the playoffs!

[MrHat]

Kick return yards don't count then?

[Rasix]

Never have.

[Paelos]

#1 vs. #2, and it's not even the playoffs yet. I'm coming for you Murdocs!

[HaemishM]

MOTHERFUCKER. Brady Quinn broke his index finger, but is going to try to play. 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.

[shiznitz]

You have been a bitch for not playing him sooner.

[stu]

I'd love to be the one starting the Ravens D right now.
