If my league doesn't credit Gore for scoring a offensive TD, I could lose tomorrow. Gore being penalized tor Kaepernick's fumbled doesn't make alot of sense.
In two leagues my team totally crapped the bed. Sucks but it is okay in a way. I need not beat myself up over lineup decisions.
In my third league all players are done and I am losing 63.64-63.44. (Stat adjustments could change the result.) I started the Browns defense over the Cardinals. 26 points right there. I also started Gordon over Decker.

Can't beat yourself up over that. Nobody is gonna make that call.
My keeper league dream team is done. Best team I've put together so far.
Rodgers / Martin / Ridley / Megatron / AJ Green / Amendola (because Harvin is on IR) ..
Picked up the Rams D since they were ranked so high this week. -3 from them.
6.8 combined from Martin and Ridley. So 3.8 combined from my 2 RBs and D.
Opponent had what I believe was the 2 highest scoring WRs, Andre Johnson and Julio Jones.
...
...
freaking Ridley. Now I have to cut one.. and since this is a PPR league, I'm leaning towards cutting or trading Rodgers or Doug Martin, and keeping my big 3 WRs (Megatron, AJ Green, Harvin). Long time to think about it now.

His kicker (Tynes) scored 0 pts. 
My kicker (Barth) scored 0 pts too.
My kicker (Barth) scored 0 pts too.
Adrian Peterson & Calvin Johnson I got lucky to survive Tynes, but Martin killed me in another. Cruz also hurt me in that league, but a big game by him would have lost me in the other because of Tynes, D. Thomas and Charles. A decent game by Martin (9 carries against the worst rushing D?, especially with the incentive of keeping Brees off the field) would have helped a lot and CJ wouldn't have to have his 3rd best game of the year for me tonight.Detroit D also sucked because they actually played well. Arizona scored 38 points. 14 on two INT returns (sucks, but my leagues counts that against the D) and 14 more when Logan fumbles the punt at the 5 yard line and Stafford throws another pick at the 3 yard line. That last Cardinals TD was an INT returned to the Lions 29. So, I got -5 for 28+ points against when 35 of Arizona's 38 points were a total of 37 yards from the offense. Not saying Detroit would have stymied them completely, but there only other scoring drive was an 8 play 30 yard drive for a 50+ yard FG. I think if Stafford and Logan don't poop the bed, Arizona more likely scores 10-13 points and probably has some more turnovers, especially if the Lions O got a lead instead of handing the game to Arizona. Think about this, Arizona had 81 total yards on 10 3 play or less drives (8 yards per drive), but scored TDs on 3 of them. Detroit also had 10 drives of 3 or less plays and effectively scored 2 TDs on them, unfortunately the 2 TDs were by the Arizona D (plus 3 yards of Arizona O).'Lott said:3 leagues, 1st, 1st and 2nd in scoring on the season... 3 losses (very likely) this week.Bedcrappers:Ryan Mathews in all three leagues.Ray Rice in two leagues.Lawrence Tynes in two leagues. (ZERO???)Martellus Bennett in two leagues.Cleveland D. Detroit D.Doug Martin.Hey, two leagues have a 3rd place payout, and one has a nominal points total winner (= league fees). /silverliningWhat a crap week.

The guy I was playing made a late switch..put Matthews in and took out Moreno. I won by 2 points.
Took out the team with the best record, most points and the ADP-Calvin combo. Thank you Russell Wilson and Shayne Graham. My stinky team is in the finals.

Two leagues, two super bowls next week!
Benched DX for Cobb in one, benched Moreno for Julio in another...both moves netted me vital points.
Although in one league, my opponent's Tom Brady nearly gave me a heart attack last night.

Snagged Pitta on a whim on Thursday. Thus edging the one seed (and Adrian Peterson) by five points on Sunday.
Thank you Dennis and thank you random, blind, dumb luck.

Had my lowest scoring week of the season in the first week of our playoffs, against my best friend (and arch rival in FF).
Amongst other fails (Stafford, Meyers), my 3 WRs combined for 4 points (D. Thomas, DX, Gordon).
Can't expect too much when you start a bunch of non-stars, but chalk it up to injuries, poor drafting, etc.
I did reach the championship game in my other league, though!

Here's a good rant.... Hoping someone here can relate....
I've been doing fantasy for nine years, and was in five redrafts and two dynasties this year . I figure I've played a total of 32 seasons and have ended up with two championships and two runner up crowns. I'm going to make a guess that I've been in the top quarter in the league in points about 75% of the time and maybe more. I use FBG religiously but I also watch game recaps and visit a multitude of web sites. I digest everything and make my own draft and lineup decisions. I try not to fall in love with players and I have always diversified my players (except for a handful of names) over all of my leagues. I'm pretty confident that I spend more time in preparation than the majority of my league mates, and I wouldn't consider any of these leagues to be "shark leagues". Yesterday, my last three playoff teams were bounced. My 11-2 #1 seed and high points leader got bounced by the #6 and missed the finals. The same exact thing happened in the same league last year. I tried my hand at a start up dynasty last year and have finished ninth of twelve and twelfth of twelve the past two years.
So obviously, this post focuses more on "long term" bad luck as opposed to "one game" or "one season" bad luck. Obviously, two championships in 32 seasons is well below average, and even two runner up crowns isn't exceptional by any means. Anyone else want to vent about some long term fantasy misfortune? Thanks for listening!

I would like to thank Jimmy Graham, Reggie Wayne, Eli Manning, Doug Martin, and Josh Gordon for being useless ##### bags. Reggie Wayne and Jimmy Graham really faded badly at the end of the year. And I owned Eli Manning for the first time this year, and I will never own that useless scum bag again.

I share your pain. I got the bye in two leagues, and lost both games. I had the worst week of my year this week, after being the highest scoring team for the year. And scoring more points than anyone else last week. The other league we lost to a better team. I had Ray Rice in both leagues. Doug Martin in one league. Tynes in one league. Detroit in one league. I also had Reggie Wayne in both leagues. I lost RGIII and had to play Eli, who was awful.

In my draft league I have been the highest scoring team for the year four times. I made the playoffs five times. I had the bye four times. And again this year, I had the bye and lost my first game. That is the fourth time that has happened. I made the Championship game last year for the first time, and lost. Last year I barely made the playoffs and proceeded to win two to get to the Championship. I'm beginning to believe that I will never win a Championship, in the league I created.

I had the highest scoring team on the league and the #1 seed in the playoffs
Then yesterday happens:
Hakeem Nicks + Demaryius Thomas + Doug Martin + Jamaal Charles = 11.6 total points.
This is why fantasy football breaks your heart.

My other team had 1 loss from early in the season, league points leader, first round bye, lost first game of the playoffs. What really stings is I needed a RB upgrade so having Matty Ice I traded Brees & a few pieces for Lynch & a couple pieces, the team with Brees knocked me out.

One last nugget to go with my sour grapes and wine:My week 15 score in the league I was the overall points leader through 14 weeks was my lowest score since week 8 of 2007. 86 consecutive games with a higher score than this week.

Just not good enough for me.
Lost by 5.4. CJ's second half killed me. The TD gave me so much hope up only needing CJ to grab 6.5pts the rest of the game. However, he was useless. I would have crushed both teams in the other match-up by 30+ points. Though I cannot complain as expecting CJ2K to go for 23+ points isn't realistic. In any other scenario I'd be happy with his game, but I needed an even more explosive game. Gotta be one of the only games all year he didn't register a catch. Go 3/40 and gives me the win. Stacking 8 in the box all night, a screen pass would have been a great change of pace given how poorly Locker was throwing the ball downfield.
Why did I pick up Lions D off waivers only to bench them in favor of the Rams (Lions D = win)
DX lays a goose egg at the worst possible time. 3/40 gives me the win.

I see that exact string of sentences, word for word, EVERY SINGLE YEAR (and have experienced it a time or two myself). We made a switch in one of my leagues where the final 4 teams do a two-week round robin and the scores are added for the two weeks. Only been doing it for a few years but has already definitely smoothed out the randomness of that one bad week sinking your entire great and consistent season.I share your pain.

survived starting DX, Muscle Hamster, Gordon, Antrel Rolle, and EJ Biggers in my 12 team PPR redraft. I won thanks to benching Freeman in lieu of Matt Ice 5 mins before kickoff. Also got some great advice from the good dr on some DL starters who have been a sore spot for me all year long. Long story short I am in the finals after beating the #1 seed (I was #5) by a score of 206.65 to 206.35. I am holding my breath on thursday's stat corrections.

3 leagues 2 championship games
Best week of the league history last week.
Also top score out of over 100 leagues this season
Lineup
Wilson 41 points (Made me forget about RG3)
CJ 18 points
CJ Spiller 19 points
AJ Green 18 points
Andre 32 points
Megatron 22 points (Aaron Rodgers/D. Moore) for MEGA/AJ looking sweet.
Pitta 32 points I don't need Pettigrew healthy
Hartley 11 points
CIN 19 points
Total = 212
Just hope I didn't blow my load this week. I've seen this team stink it up before.

48. Lowest total in at least six years. So f*&k you, 2012 team.
I had a strong suspicion that whomever Belichick was playing against in his FF semis had Ridley, I just knew it....
