Just watch the playoff game last year. Falcons secondary was horrible....why would anyone not start Cutler at home?In one league, my QB choices were Cutler & Roethlisberger. Guess who I chose. What makes it worse: I'm a Bears homer!
Schedule. Double. Headers. Problem solved.'krsone21 said:I feel your pain BobbyLayne.Last year I had the 2nd highest scoring team in my dynasty league and it wasn't even close.

NBYS = Never Bench Your Studs'nebfan said:My 2 running backs of Greene and Blount scored 3 points total. Has to be an all-time record. I may have the worst two backs in history of FFB.
What is NBYS?
Or problem multiplied by two (yes, it has happened to me before).Schedule. Double. Headers.

Oh, it is very possible to do this. In my case, It's probable...I have given up so many wins over the years in my main Auction League. My big goof this weekend? I sat Reggie Wayne (17 points) and started Steve Johnson(14points), 15 minutes before the games on Sunday. So what happened? I lost 95-93...by TWO POINTS....I also thought of swapping out Romo for Fitz in 2 other leagues....but didn't. That decision didn't cost me though...'shadyridr said:I dont know how its possible to make every lineup decision wrong. I benched Tates for Jacobs & Ingram. I benched Gronkowski for Kendricks. If I do any of those things differently I start the year off 1-0 instead of 0-1. So frustrating.
I think I got ya beat...possibly my most heartbreaking loss ever. I was up 60 pts with McFadden, Lloyd and Gostkowski and he had Marshall, Welker, Brady. He took the lead by 28 going into the late games. I lost by 2.4 pts! The McFadden tackle at the 1, Lloyd not in the game on the final drive (needed 11 more yards from him for 100 yard bonus), Gostkowski missing a FG and Mendy losing 6 yards and a fumble on a play where he never recieved the handoff. I won't even get into the Brady/Welker trashing. Monday night always gets me!!!can't be the only one that lost because McFadden got tackled on the 1 inch line
Same move cost me a game when I benched Gronkowski for Kendricks after listening to everyone go on about how Philly sucks at defending the Tight End and how much Bradford loves the guy. Serves me right for taking advice from a podcast when making my final pre-game roster adjustments.Start Lance Kendricks at TE this week and lost 84 to 73. Would have won 91 to 84 had I started Aaron Hernandez instead.
present. not giving McFadden the TD love =can't be the only one that lost because McFadden got tackled on the 1 inch line
i went into MNF down 63 with Welker&DMac yet to play for me. Welker goes for 42 & DMC 16 in my league. i lose by 5. if DMC either a)gets the TD call for what sure appeared to be a TD or b)gets reinserted after the Broncos called timeout(&he'd gotten a breather), which would have been the classy thing,and he punches it in from half yard away---i win by 1. OuchI think I got ya beat...possibly my most heartbreaking loss ever. I was up 60 pts with McFadden, Lloyd and Gostkowski and he had Marshall, Welker, Brady.

ETA-I should never doubt Tom Brady. Despite turning in the lowest efficiency lineup I ever had, Brady pulled me out last night....I'm now in the "other" thread.Worst FF outing possibly ever for me.Made all the wrong calls as my bench outscored my starters at every single position and I will lose by a handful of points.-Why does NBYS apply (and work) for eveybody on the planet except me?-Why does Steve Smith (CAR) always always always play his best game of the year against me (he is my personal harbinger)?
Yep. I lost by 3 in a similar situation. I can see why they didn't challenge it, though; the Campbell sneak was almost a guaranteed score and it pays to have your challenges late in a close game.Can't believe raiders didn't challenge the DMC TD...2nd highest scoring team for me this week, lost by two points. It looked like an easy TD call...can't believe it. My team is loaded so I am not that concerned as I see myself in the playoffs abs in the running for the total points crown
