Playing RN is like having a bye week.

lumpy 'liked' this post by Doc.

At the time, I was 0-3 and lumpy was 3-0. I am now a higher seed than Doc, and lumpy is out of the playoffs.

(I have a long memory.)

I stand by my like....my team was horrible the entire season, just got lucky with the early season scheduling

ahh you had good potential. coming out of the draft with Forte, Martin and Stacey looked like a real solid foundation that could carry your team. just got unlucky that 2 of the 3 bombed out.

one thing if we were to do this again would be to trim the roster spots a bit. I think there were too many bench positions that could allow people to avoid any tough decisions and could carry sleepers for awhile.

this might be the worst thing you've ever posted.

we had 15 roster spots for 9 starting spots in the lineup. there are bye weeks in the NFL, and plenty of injuries.

 

[Raider Nation]

This consolation bracket seems exciting.

 

[Tiger Fan]

everyone did pay up, right?

 

[Dan Lambskin]

I believe so...chain kept a thread on the yahoo page

I agree. 12 team leagues are best with 15-16 rosture spots. 14 team leagues would be more competitive with a spot or two shaved off.

We are talking about pro's here Rud. Gotta go balls to the wall. Maybe it was just because we didn;t have some active guys in our league, but i know there were plenty of times you could look at free agency and there were no vaible RBs anywhere. then you look at people's benches and they are stacked. i could cut an extra slot off and still have the skills to have a solid roster. hell, i kept T-Rich on my team for 14 weeks. i could have dumped that guy awhile back and would have been no sweat off my nuts. But i am good to go with the injury slots if we want to account for those

 

[modogg]

c'mon Demarco, save some of yourself for next week bud

 

[Raider Nation]

Sorry nugs.... my team is like an unstoppable freight train right now. You just happened to be the one strapped to the tracks. :(

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Barn burner between us and Dead Tony

Crazy tradeoff there between Bell and Newton.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

McCoy can kiss my Shady taint.

 

[Raider Nation]

I can't imagine anyone wants a piece of me right now. My keyboard is melting just from my fingers touching it.....

 

[tonydead]

And then there were 4.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

And then there were 4.

I had Bell in my home league at least. Good luck against the rest of these filthy heathens.

Thanks Dr. Brown Bong Sex!!

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

lots of high scores this week among the top teams.

 

[tonydead]

Oh come on! Waivers have been based on standings all year long yet somehow last night the first and second seeds get picks before me. Yahoo is garbage.

I picked 14th and got beat out the first time I submitted a waiver claim. Ended up not even making the playoffs.

 

[Raider Nation]

Team GMTAN should sit Bennett this week. He's not gonna do anything, IMO.

GG man. No fitzy, cooks, graham, Wayne production down the stretch sunk what was the 1st place roster much of the year. I loved my strategy of taking rbs late, just didn't have the depth I needed when the other guys got the suck. Give em hell bud.

Thanks coach

I'm playing you.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Oh we know. Our scouts are on it.

 

[Raider Nation]

Sorry in advance for what the Rams D will do to you guys tonight.

 

[modogg]

hmm, not really the start for my team with Tre getting me 3 points. Yucky. Really need a healthy Julio on Sunday or it could be an uphill climb. I think the Eagles can contain Murray again on Sunday so not sure he will blow up

 

[tonydead]

:money:

 

[modogg]

:money:

yeah, congrats man. When Julio wasn't practicing Friday i figured it would be a big uphill battle. oh well... good luck

RN

RN fantasy curse initiated.........

 

[Raider Nation]

Is Adrian Peterson on my team?

 

[Raider Nation]

So how much am I gonna pull down after I dismiss tonydead this week?

I should just let Saw invest it and give me back $100k this time next year.

From what Lamb has posted earlier:

1st is $1000

2nd is $300

and

3rd is $100

Good luck today RN. That Jonus Gray pick-up was brave. I got a little luck with Floyd getting a late TD lat night, been fighting trying to find WRs all year.

 

[Raider Nation]

Yeah, Floyd was sitting on 3 points all night. Then Krapernick can't salt the game away. Grrrr.

GLTY also.

 

[tonydead]

Congrats RN. My luck ran out.

 

[Raider Nation]

Thanks td. Good season.

 

[Raider Nation]

also I looked in the FFAWT regarding payouts and this was all I could find. not sure if anyone confirmed it or had issues with it, but I say we go with this unless the playoff teams want to renegotiate

thoughts on payout structure?

First 1000

2nd 300

3rd 100

Looks good to me

Who's got the dough? I have painters to hire!
