Final rant after a horrific 3-10 season followed by a loss in the Cyclone Bowl (pits the two worst teams against each other with winner getting 1st pick next year).
After the draft I thought I had a fantastic team - plugged all the teams into Lineup Dominator and I was the odds on favorite to win 11 of 13 weeks. Reality was not so kind -
After draft -
qbs - Vick and Cutler
rbs - McFadden, Sproles, Matthews, Ryan Williams (not bad in a PPR format - hell Sproles I thought was a steal)
wrs - Graham, Gates, Hernandez, Cobb, Walter, Laurent Robinson
k - Henery, Cundiff
dl - Mario Williams, Rubin, Mincey
lb - Laurinaitas, Wagner, Foster, DJ Smith
db - Harper, Chung, Earl Thomas
The week before Murray got hurt I traded DMC and Cobb for Murray and Heyward-Bey....both DHB and Murray go down and Cobb explodes.
Vick hurt, Cutler terrible early so I had a series of qb pickups and always guessed wrong.
Sproles goes down, Williams goes down, Murray goes down - Matthews has a few so so games and the rest suck when not injured.
Hernandez goes down, Graham doe swell then gets hurt, Gate ssucks out loud, trade Cobb and DHB goes down.
Philly sucks so Henery is worthless, Cundiff cut before first game.
DL so so when not hurt so went through a revolvoing door at DL.
Wagner starts slow, traded Foster right before he exploded, DJ Smith to the IR
Chung loses his job and Earl Thomas gets no looks.
Quite possibly in retrospect the worst luck (or foresight) I have ever had in 20 years. It was BRUTAL - but as always - just wait til next year when I'll put myself through this same misery again.
