2008 Fantasy Football

[D]

My stupid fucking team waits till the last week to get healthy and live up to their potential.

Injuries knocked me out of it.

Who has the highest-scoring team in all of HTGTH's league?  That's right, the hottest bitch of all Jessica Alba!   
Watch out come playoff time!  Fans are chanting   r-e-p-e-a-t   r-e-p-e-a-t !!!!!!! 

[GunnerOne 84]

My team just posted 168 points this week, sweet!

[Axl4Prez2004]

Argh!  In my big league, I need another team to win their game so I have a better shot at Regular Season Champ, but he's starting Losman over Frerotte!     Losman's playing in Toronto against Miami, and Frerotte's indoors against the Pussycats, err, I mean the Lions.

Also, I must confess I didn't have the balls to start the 22nd rated Chargers D over the 4th ranked Bucs D.  I could have had a great Chargers night from Thursday...ugh.  Now, I'll be sweating it out until the Bucs play the Panthers.

I am in 4 leagues.

The injury/suspension plagued HTGTH league where I am finished


3 other leagues I am:

9-4  highest scoring team

11-2 highest scoring team

9-4  highest scoring team


I have no clue why I cant show my skill in these fucking leagues.

I have a great shot at 3 titles, I should at least grab 1.

Another year, another first round exit in the HTGTH league.

Another year, another first round exit in the HTGTH league.   

I sympathize.

I was the highest scorer in one of my leagues. My team was projected to score 150pts yesterday

Marshawn Lynch........... NOTHING
Larry Johnson.................. NOTHING

My team averaged 140 a week and I ended with a whopping 100 pts.


I lose.

Jessica Alba rollin' rollin' rollin'...repeat time???   
The Bend DPers just added a ton of talent...they'll be tough to beat.  I think I have PA Snow up next...who's HTGTH other than Alba (myself) and Penus?

Yeah. Represent!!!

[Axl4Prez2004]

We can't let gnrevolution win the HTGTH league, we just can't!

that's great that it's 2 and 2 in the final four.

i was a little worried about mcnabb possibly be benched down the stretch, but he's could put up huge numbers vs. Cleveland Monday night.

my WR/RB spot has been causing me problems...J. Stewart and Berrian are hot and cold. i have NOT been playing the "hot" player in recent weeks. that's really my only decision as far as my starting lineup this week. both have favorable matchups. i usually prefer the RB for obvious reasons, but something is telling me Berrian is due for a big game. 

although if Gore is out, i'm starting both so it won't even matter.

[Axl4Prez2004]

^ Hey Sandman!     Congrats on making it to the Final Four.  We've gotta represent HTGTH.  I'm just afraid if you did happen to lose...you know who you'll blame...

McNabb! 

Seriously, let's kick some ass this weekend.  It won't be easy.  Those fellas are stacked.

HAAAA! that would be funny. Mcnabb's numbers were not as good vs. the Giants, but IMO he actually played an even better game than the week before vs. Arizona. he made nice throws hitting guys in stride, clutch throws on 3rd down, and ran for first downs when the opportunity was there. it was like the 2001 version of mcnabb. good stuff.

but yeah, these teams are freakin stacked and i need big stats this week.

[Axl4Prez2004]

Big question...in my big league we're in the 1st week of playoffs...I started Colston and reaped the benefits Thursday night...now...I have one wr slot to fill and I'm debating between Randy Moss and Vincent Jackson.  I am 90% for starting Randy, but V Jax's 20 point performance last week has me less than 100%.

Right now, I'm starting Randy.  Here's the problem, neither is a great starter this week.  Randy's up against thee best cornerback in the league, bar-none.  Asomugha.  He's as shut-down as they come.  In fact, the Patriots are looking to sign him next year. (the Pats are smart, he's awesome!)  Also, the game is likely to be played in the rain.  Also, Cassel missed a little practice this week due to the death of his father so he'll be playing with a heavy heart.
The positive?  Randy up against his old team.  Perhaps he could step it up and make a lil' statement to Oakland?

V Jax.  Positives?  Up against a terrible defense in KC.  Negative?  Very windy in KC.  Wind advisory through 8pm tomorrow night and they have a 1:00 game. 

One more toughie.  Charger defense in KC in the wind...or Tampa D in a bounce-back performance after the drubbing they received from the Panthers on Monday Night Football?  Atlanta is averaging 32+ points/ game at home. 
Very tough decision...perhaps Dexter could provide some insight?     (even non-famous folks can chime in too!  ) 

[faldor]

I'd lean towards San Diego D, the Chiefs are a far worse offensive team than the Falcons.  Though the Bucs DO have a better D than SD.  My gut tells me to go with SD, but that's without examining any stats, which I'm sure you've already done.

As for Moss.  He had a great game against Miami and has followed that up with 2 lackluster performances to say the least.  He's dropped some real easy balls the last 2 weeks.  I was almost ready to give him a pass in the Steelers game since the weather was SO bad, BUT he was just as bad last week against a BAD Seahawks team.  I would expect him to play with a little "extra" motivation returning to Oakland.  I'm sure the fans will be all over him and he won't want to disappoint.  Cassel playing with a heavy heart could also be beneficial (see Favre against Oakland on MNF years back).  As for Asomugah, he's legit, no doubt.  BUT, I've heard from watching New England sports shows that the Raiders play a base defense and they refuse to switch things up.  So he pretty much stays on one side of the field.  If the Pats wanted, they could put Gaffney on that side and move Moss to the other side so he'd be covered by someone else.  OR, they could take their chances with Moss one on one with Asomugah. 

It's a tough one.  Randy has been so bad these past couple weeks that I would definitely be tempted to sit him.  BUT, then again he's RANDY MOSS!

[Axl4Prez2004]

Yes Faldor, like I said, I was 90% sure about Randy.  I have the Chargers down for D as well.  Neither are ideal plays, but hopefully they put up average efforts.

I'm also sticking with Warner at home vs. a weak Vikes'
 pass D...over Rodgers and McNabb.

I've looked at every stat backwards and forwards.  I think the crazy wind in KC is just too much.  At this point on a neutral field, I probably would have leaned V Jax, but R Moss is where I'm going.  He's Randy Fucking Moss! 

Wish me luck.  and thanks Faldor.   

[faldor]

Good luck.  The way I see it.  Randy can't have 3 BAD weeks in a row and V-Jax can't have 3 GOOD weeks in a row, right?  Well, of course they CAN, but play the percentages.

[Axl4Prez2004]

Okay, Jessica Alba made a good effort at the repeat...but alas, the repeat dream is over.    

On a positive note in my big league, last night was friggin' insane!  It was down to the other guy having Witten left...and the score going in was 100 to 95.  (no decimals in my league).  How about watching Witten get stopped on the 1 yard line in the 4th quarter!  Oh man!  I ended up winning in the 1st week of the playoffs as the 2 seed against the 7 seed, 100 to 99!

To make matters even scarier, I checked out nfl.com and saw that they were crediting my opponents team defense the Titans with 4 sacks instead of 3!!!  Thank God, I think it was a mistake.  Plus, they initially gave my qb, Warner a lost fumble...again, incorrect.

Randy Moss came through...but that Chargers D sure the hell didn't!   

Thanks faldor. 

[faldor]

Yeah V-Jax had a pretty decent day himself, but not as good as Randy.  I went again BOTH of them this week, but was able to hold off my opponent and advance to the finals (as long as there's no freak scoring changes by tomorrow).  I made a similar mistake with my defense in that same league this week.  I picked up Indy as they were playing the Lions.  I figured that was a fantastic matchup and would reap the benefits.  Well, that didn't work.  They only managed 4 points, while I had both the Jets (17 pts.) and Dallas (19 pts.) on my bench.  Sometimes playing the "matchup" doesn't work out, and it's better to just go with the better defense.  Also didn't help that Bob Sanders didn't play.  That Indy D just isn't anywhere near the same without him.
