Anyone else look at their team and realize you screwed up?

I have two teams and somehow picked Greg Olsen on both teams and the TE Wright from Tampa Bay. I could have sworn and know that I selected the guy from NE.

I wanted the guy backing up Gronk as I think he will get injured again this year.

I did one team to fit Olsen in, but still missed up 2nd pick.

WTF??? I cannot believe I screwed up the tight end position on both entries.

You got the right guy. He was traded from TB to NE after the contest started, so he's still listed as being on TB. I'll update it in a few minutes.

Iggy,Great job thanks.Just donated appreciate it.

I can't believe you needed two entries - whats up with that?

What an awesome contest

 

[nastynate]

Loving this WR group...

Julio Jones

Antonio Brown

Julian Edleman

Steve Smith

A. Boldin

Steve Smith is going to hog targets in that offense. Looked like the #1 in preseason and continues to look that way. He and Pitta should both get more targets than Smith.

Thank you guys! And to the others who sent a donation as well, it really is appreciated.

And thank you all for the positive feedback I've received, it means a lot. I have a lot of ideas for stuff to add to the site, and I welcome your suggestions. Even if you like the site now, feel free to think about, "What would make this even better?" and pass along your thoughts. I can't guarantee every idea will be incorporated but I want to make sure I'm giving you guys the best product I can.

I think this is one of those deals where "blocked punt TDs" don't show up correctly in the stat feed. They should definitely have more points. IIRC even major sites like CBS have historically had problems scoring those plays correctly live. I can't fix it right now but I'll look into it this evening and make sure it's adjusted at some point before the end of the night.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention - if you see anything like this that doesn't seem right please let me know, that kind of feedback is invaluable to help me make sure everything's working properly.

176.95 + (Luck - 20.95) + (15.70 - Benjamin) + (15.80 - Freese).

Feel great about my WR group. Actually feel like I nailed all 7 selections there. RB is a little more but Ingram was great today.

Um, Iggy, your page shows Blair Walsh at 12.80 but I think it's really 13.80. He had 4 extra points, a 52-yard FG and a 46-yard FG.

Thanks for the heads up! I'll look into it tonight. I suspect this is also something with the stat feed, but I'll make any necessary adjustments later.

I should take this opportunity to stress that the scores on my site are totally unofficial. I've made a lot of effort to ensure they're as accurate as can be, and I don't ever expect to be off by more than a point or two from the official results, but some things are out of my hands and the only scores that count are the ones FBG posts on Tuesday mornings.

 

[Maelstrom]

Iggy,Great job thanks.Just donated appreciate it.

Likewise, looks nice, sent a donation. Any plans to modify it to run as a single page app so it could update live? Since you already have all the data and stuff working, wouldn't be too difficult to setup an API and then consume it with Angular or something similar. Let me know if you have any interest in that and need any help, be happy to assist if needed.

Good disclaimer for later when someone is upset because they made it by your site and somehow not on the contest.

Great stuff bro. I went to donate but phone is acting weird, plan to tomorrow.

Does anyone know how to access your team entry number if you are listed with a team name?

yes

Look up in the address bar for your team, and the address will have a group of 6 numbers... That is your team number

I NEED about 50 teams...

I always talk my wife into playing... I tweak her picks since she does not watch football.

It looks like my Olsen mistake worked. Lol

Thanks Chocula.

What's the cutoff?

Oh no I'm still totally blaming Iggy when I get knocked out

I will be sending a donation at a random point my friend

For only 800 getting cut, when you figure how there's always a healthy chunk of joke entries, that seems like a pretty high cutoff to me.

-QG

 

[Harjiran]

The live scoring site is awesome. I too will be making a donation.

I did want to point out that today the Houston D/ST scored a TD, had something like 3 sacks, 2 fumble recoveries, a couple blocked kicks, etc, but the site is giving them only 7 points. Thanks!

 

[(HULK)]

Welp, I'm over 200 points. Can't remember if I've done that before.

 

[QuizGuy66]

Igomatic still shows Walsh at 12.80 - sure it'll come out in the waah at somepoint. It agrees on my total with my handscoring (which I do for fun). I am at 193.90 + (Freese - 15.80)

Good luck to those sweating the Turk!

-QG

 

[Rick James]

is that HOUSTON defense score correct? that doesn't seem right...7 points...a bunch of sacks, a TD, and fumble recoveries

 

[BroadwayG]

So what is the minimum completely safe number no matter what happens tonight? I'm...umm...asking for a friend.

145

150 with no QB counting (Cam and Rivers)

 

[msudaisy26]

This is my first year in the contest. What is a typical week like? I know there are crazy weeks both ways. I am suiting at 160 this week for my entry and my husband's entry is 170. Is that good enough most weeks? Or even this week?

You're fine for this week. Can't answer going forward because it will hinge on Benjamin and a few other highly owners guys. Generally those numbers will get you though the early weeks with all the weak entries in the mix. Once the byes kick in the scores will drop to the point occasionally 130's will be good to good. Later in the year when only strong entries are left and the byes are over 160-170 wouldn't be considered safe.

 

[Sinn Fein]

Last year 160 would get you past every week up to week 13 (171.2) and week 14 (187.85)

 

[BroadwayG]

My 2nd entry featuring Dez Bryant, Jason Witten, Doug Martin and Ben Tate is likely going to be a week 1 cut

 

[adrenaline]

Any chance of getting an option to delete linked entries?

Thanks!!! That is a very nice and helpful answer. I figured it would take bigger scores later. I am hoping to score big when I need to and float by when I don't.

 

[(HULK)]

My QB1 (Brady), RB1 (McCoy), and WR1 (Dez) didn't score for me this week and I broke 200 points. Should I be optimistic?

 

[butcher boy]

Do we have to wait until Tuesday morning to enter our week 2 lineups or will it be ready immediately following the games tonight?

 

[jamil]

I believe Wed morning the new prices for each player will be out.

Might be in the afternoon though as Dodds waits to see if Rice or ABrown will have any missed time for their barbaric actions

He plays DET next week, so a lot will depend on how good the Lions pass D looks tonight.
