Bragging, venting, crowing, grieving... (2 Viewers)

My opponent at 6-0 having his worst game of the year . If I get ANYTHING from my running backs I get the win. Spiller and TRich have so far combined for 2.3 points. If I play ANY of the guys on my bench, let alone two of them, I probably get the win . GRR. I've guessed wrong on spiller/fjax every damn week.

 
I played Ellington with CJ2K on my bench, now my opponent needs 7 points from either Nicks or Hillis to beat me...He had Moreno and Welker, so I thought I was home free as the 4th started....

Damn unreliable CJ2k

 
Didn't like the fact that Ryan had Roddy out so I benched Ryan for Big Ben in a superflex league......oops.

Had to choose between Mathews and DeAngelo as my RB2, both had good matchups.....picked DeAngelo.....double oops.

Both those calls cost me 27 pts.

Luckily my opponent had Cutler and Brady as his QBs and I am up 16 with Peterson to go vs his Rueben Randle.

Sigh of relief.

 
Started: Cutler DMartin TRich Wayne

Bench: Stafford Mathews Decker Reed

Sad thing is I am still up 18 but opponent has AP and Nicks tonight ..lucky win if it happens

Once again score over a hundred and lose (thanks to Luck - why did Broncs D not show up). 2nd overall in points scored and sitting at 3-4. Guy I played this week is over 100 points behind me on the season and is 6-1. I have done something to anger the magic football gods.

 
I believe the lack of practice time, less OTA's, and less tackling during practice is a big reason we have seen so many injuries this year. I think the rules changes are the other big part of the problem because it is forcing defenders to go low.

It is killing my fantasy teams and making me question how many leagues I will want to get into next year. If any.

Have a couple teams decimated by injuries as well. One of my main leagues, I've lost 6 of my first 10 picks in some capacity (vereen, amendola, martin, julio, finley, etc..)

 
I seriously do not know what to do with CJ Spiller or Lamar Miller. I'm now 4-3 and every week gets worse with each crippling bye at my other positions. I've got Joique Bell - Bernard Piece - And Helu on the bench. I may sstart playing Helu a lot more.

Ya that is brutal

 
Romo/Rivers

Rice/Ridley/Lacy/Ellington/Pierre Thomas

Dez/Garcon/Keenan Allen/Cecil Shorts

Vernon Davis

This team is 3-4, gotten to 100 pts only twice and is ~8th highest scoring team in my 12 team league. :shrug: I knwo it's not awesome on paper, but I'm still shocked at how poorly my starters have scored, and consistently so. Romo has been pedestrian aside from the Denver game; Dez just not getting the targets an elite WR should. Rice sucks; Ridley at the mercy of Belichick. Losing 3 starters to injury in-game week 2, all 3 miss week 3. I wouldn't sweat my record if I was actually scoring.

 
Played my brother this week. He had an injury riddled team plus graham on a bye. Plugged in scrubs like Boykin, Fleener, and RRandle. Now im only up 8 and not feeling too good with one half to go.

 
Going into tonight I was up about 35 points with my opponent only having J. Sanford left. I didn't think I had anything to worry about. It looks like he's working on a career game.

 
Why the heck did I think Kyle Rudolph and Rueben Randle would be better starts than Boykin and Douglas (lost Julio)? Instead of being the only 6-1 team, I blow my chance to beat a 4-2 team even with all my injury issues. All the overthinking is killing me again this year. Every decision ends up wrong and every team I play has multiple of AJ Green, Gore, Forte and of course Locker and Gronk coming back just for me.

 
I'm in first place and am about to lose to the last place team by less than a point (barring a stat correction miracle). What went wrong, you may ask?

-Sproles was on bye. In PPR, he would've won me my matchup comfortably

-Martin goes down

-Foster goes down

-I start Foles over Tannehill and Foles turns in one of the worst QB performances of the year

-Randle loses a fumble

Just terrible.

 
I can't even do enough #####ing to express the frustration and bull#### present this week in the only league I truly care about. Football was a #### this weekend.

 
WRs to start the year

Demaryius Thomas

Julio Jones(inj)

Reggie Wayne(inj)

Lance Moore(inj)

Marlon Brown(Jacoby Jones)

Santonio Holmes(inj)

All I have left is D. Thomas and Brown and I picked up Boykin last week, Dont know what to do as I fully expect D. Thomas to go down next.

Having a ridiculous season so far and the best team I have ever had in 15 years in my 16 team league.

Currently 5-0, my total points is 53% higher than the average score in the league.

My all play record is 71-4.

Peyton Manning is ridiculous, accounting for over 3.3% of all scoring in the entire league, but even If I took a zero for him each week, I'd still be 4-1.

7-0, all play record is 97-8.

Even if I took a zero for Manning each week, I'd still be 6-1.

This is precisely the reason I no longer do a QBBC. It was frustrating enough planning for Cutler to be my perfect Brees bye week replacement only to see him put up a big fat goose egg this week. I just can't imagine having to try and guess every week who will go off and who will suck. Now I'm not saying to be the first one to get a qb but I will try to be the last one to get a top tier qb.

 
Went to bed last night with a win. Woke up with a tie due to a stat correction.

Nothing going right this year. NOTHING.

 
Anybody else notice that Michael Floyd went from 6 catches for 71 yards to 5 to 58? Apparently, his last catch of 13 yards wasn't legit? How does THAT work?

 
Started off with a great RB core this season - Forte, Martin, Murray, Vereen and Bernard only to have it decimated by injuries.

Now I have an embarrassing wealth in WR2s - Garçon, Gordon, Fitzgerald, V Jackson, K Allen, Boykin but I simply can't pick the correct ones each week

 
My whole season has been pretty crappy, lost one game by .05 pts then two weeks later lost another one by .35 pts. Last night I started Cam for the first time all season since Rivers had a bye. Would have never started him without that bye. And he was awesome - MAYBE things are starting to turn around!!!

 
I ignored the experts who said we should draft RBs early and often. In three leagues, the only RB I drafted in the first three rounds was Doug Martin in one league (Ugh!) but otherwise focused on other positions.

The result so far... I am a combined 17-4 in three leagues (6-1, 6-1, 5-2)! Bow to my greatness! :tebow:

I never make the right 50/50 call. Had a desperation WR choice of Kenny Stills or Cole Beasley. Chose Beasley and of course Stills just got a 69 yard TD.

 
thought i might have been in trouble this week in my main league with luck/rivers both on bye weeks.

fortunately pryor was available on waivers for not much of my budget

 
My vent/grieve? I feel like I'm losing all ability to predict this game anymore. Between injuries and teams completely switching gameplans and featured players from week to week and playing great one week and then horrible the next, I'm starting to lose on some just plain fluky stuff.

 
And now Suisham misses his second FG under 40 yards. That's a 12 point swing in my league in a close matchup (-3 for the miss)
