Eli keeps throwing to Randle and Donnell when Vontae Davis is matched-up onthem. Or to Preston #$@! Parker. The one scoring drive you clowns had included a big play to ODB. It isn't that $#@! hard to figure out what you need to do, is it? Oh, and screw you Shady for consistently being unable to outscore a top 3 kicker every damn week.

 

[rockaction]

I was down 20 with only Vinatieri left. Decided to drop him and leave an empty spot in my kicker slot and pick up Davante Adams. If he gets 20 pts i may kill myself

That's kind of a bizarre move and an even more bizarre result. What's your kicker scoring?

(Before you get too much on me, you definitely comment on other peoples' decisions...)

He has 21 in ffpc right now.

he has 16 now. Yeah stupid move. Not sure why i made it. Seemed like a good idea at the time. I dont think any kicker has scored 20 yet this year. Just my luck

 

[BlueBlazer05]

It's probably not even worth complaining about since garbage time is part of the deal, but damn if this isn't the longest garbage time ever...

Now I'm going to lose because Eli was finally able to do something once the Colts softened up their coverage.

If the Colts would've just fell on that fumble I'd be sitting pretty.

 

[RaiderBones]

Just traded for Matt Ryan to start over Russell Wilson

Are you warning the rest of us that we should sit Ryan now that you traded for him?

no im saying i replaced crap with more crap

 

[cubbie5150]

Odell, that last catch did it for me!

 

[weebs]

My 8-0 team vs the other 8-0 team who is also in my division. Won by 1 against luck tonight. Anyone know of any possible stat changes?

 

[Mr. Know-It-All]

This game is so maddening. 5th highest scoring team this week, lost to the 3rd highest this week (and that guy is dead last in scoring on the year). I am now 5th highest (10 pts from 3rd highest scoring overall, 4 pts from 4th) scoring overall and have a record of 3-6...with far and away the hardest schedule. Has to be a better way than H2H. Last year, I had the second highest all time single season scoring record (20 year league) and missed the playoffs. So two years in a row I am getting hosed by an unlucky schedule.

 

[Raiderfan32904]

Would have won if Andre Williams scored there at the end. I was playing against Eli with a 2 point lead. Next play Eli throws a meaningless one yard TD for his bruised ego. Damn cursed luck. <_<

 

[need2know]

Was ahead 109 to 50 before facing big ben and Antonio brown. Their game put me down by 18. I had eli going tonight. Yeah eli sux

So I ended up winning with elis last drive. Why the giants left him in I have no idea. But never underestimate garbage time

 

[Leonidas]

One league, most points in the league...5-4 record.

Other league...2nd most points in the league...5-4 record.


H2H format blows (when matchup luck goes against you)

 

[Shutout]

This game is so maddening. 5th highest scoring team this week, lost to the 3rd highest this week (and that guy is dead last in scoring on the year).

Last year, I had the second highest all time single season scoring record (20 year league) and missed the playoffs. So two years in a row I am getting hosed by an unlucky schedule.

Maybe you guys can consider all play or a points system. Seems like this year has been a big year across my leagues for similar issues. Guys scoring very high but running into the one team that could beat them that week.

 

[Shutout]

Boy, there sure isn't anything like Coby Freaking Fleenor deciding to get more targets in one game than he has in half the season to push your fantasy team to the edge of elimination.

 

[Soulfly3]

Most points for, 6th in the league.

Such a cruel cruel, B.

15+ yr league w the same dudes from back in high school... so I gotta hear about it ALL the time

I tried a non-H2H league once and found I needed the angst and frustration of H2H. Half of the fun is whining about how unlucky I can be. I have never tried one of those combo-type leagues, maybe they are the most fair. I have one team out of three that falls into that bad luck category. Now just looking forward to that team being a spoiler the rest of the way.

 

[Jerry Curl]

I scooped ADP before this news broke!

 

[Bacon]

I lost by one ####### yard this week!

 

[Landro21]

I'm not quite sure why I am typing this out right now since it will inevitably be a jinx but.... I just have to brag to someone.

In my 10 team 2 keeper league Last year I went 13-2 with the highest PF and the lowest PA on the way to my first championship. I have started out this year at 7-0 with the highest PF and the lowest PA again. I have now won 15 straight games dating back to last year...... The second half of this season is bound to be a very painful fall from grace... But man oh man it's been fun.

8-0. 16 straight. Special thanks to Gronk, Ingram, Payton, Golden Tate and dolphins D this week

9-0. 17 straight.

Victory Points is another option here. It's H2H w/ additional points for the top scores of the week.

2 pts for a W

0 pts for a L

2 pts awarded to the top 4 scores

1 pt awarded to the mid 4 scores

0 pts awarded to the bottom 4 scores

 

[Don't Noonan]

It was just a matter of time before Foles got hurt. Everyone I drafted has gotten hurt this year. Calvin in the first, Marshall in the 2nd, D. Martin in the 3rd, Matthews in the 4th, Cameron in the 5th, Foles in the 6th, F Jackson in 8th, L Miller in 9th. Unreal

Can you give us a heads up on who you picked in the 7th?

Sure. I just looked and L Miller was my 7th pick, R Griffin 9th pick. Sorry Sammy Watkins owners but he was my 10th pick.

You can't make this stuff up. Wow

 

[SengerCJ]

Up against one of my leagues worst teams this week who's only RB that's not on a bye is Andre Williams.

 

[CGRdrJoe]

This is where I brag about getting AP off of the waiver wire on saturday If he is reinstated then I have him and Levon Bell at RB, then can swithch between Vereen and Monte Ball (if he gets healthy at flex) to go along with my wr's of Calvin, Antonio Brown, Watkins and oh yeah Gronk!!! Depending on what happens with Ball, I may try and package him with Reggie Bush and Kaepernick and make a play for a better qb.

 

[Power Monster]

Time to flat out bench green as the lost season rolls on

 

[cubbie5150]

Andy Dalton screwed me over....and I don't even own him.

 

[Widbil83]

Anybody else get pounded by that vaunted Browns D?

 

[fightingillini]

My draft on one league - superflex

1 - Peterson

2 - A Green

3 - Foles

4 - RGIII

5 - R Bush

6 - V Jackson

7 - Cameron

8 - Richardson

Have to say, I am not doing to well in that league.

 

[Sienna2012]

Week 10 off to a good start. Picked up Terrance West off of waivers and started him as my RB2, due to bye week issues and really had low expectations. Going up against my opponent, who started AJ Green and Sanu, West outscores his WR1 and flex position 15-4!!!

 

[jeremyx13]

I have never posted in this particular section, but I am compelled for this one time. I can probably top almost all of the hard luck stories from last week from what I have read. Get this.

Went into Monday night game with opponent needing 8 points from Colts Defense to beat me. Not too bad you say. I could pull off the victory. He got zero points for Points Against, zero points for Yards Against. Looking good for me you say, keep reading. They get exactly 8 points for 3 sacks and a fumble recovery. Woe is me, right. Not quite, keep going.

3:00 to go in the game with Giants having the ball. Giants need to reach 28 points for him to lose 3 points. Woohoo, it could happen. So, a garbage time TD would do it. Hmmm. Didn't quite happen. Not totally unexpected. However, Giants only need to gain another 32 yards for him to lose 3 points for Yards Against. Keep reading.

Four downs and minus 2 yards later, Giants punt. So sad, that's the game most likely. Colts get a first down and can run out the clock. Whoops, penalty. Giants get the ball back with 7 seconds left. Maybe a long pass play. Nope, they run the ball for 17 yards. Nice play. Game over. Total yards: 438. They only needed 12 more yards for Colts Defense to lose 3 points and me get the win.

So recap, I need Colts Defense to score less than 8 points. They could lose 3 points in a couple of ways, points or yards. Giants had two chances to get either, albeit once in only 7 seconds. Lost by .7 points. Oh, did I forget to mention I had Phillip "F'in" Rivers get me minus .8 points.

Ugh, this is only time I will probably ever lament a bad week. Enjoy my misery. Ha Ha!!!

 

[BigBlue_RI]

17 points so far with my QB (Ryan) and both backs (Murray and Bush) going, plus TE (Kelce), PK (Tucker) and Chiefs D. You must be kidding me--and my opponent had BiG Ben choking and Arian Fostet on bye. I should not be losing at half time!

 

[need2know]

i never thought i would ever regret taking drew brees. he has been awful today and very medicore all year. never again unless the price is right

 

[cubbie5150]

Left Brandin Cooks on my bench. Meanwhile, Roddy, in my lineup, is gonna end up with his top 36'ish points. SMH.

 

[oddsbodkins]

Just love how Romo continues to ignore T.Will. Love it even more that I continue to play him.

 

[RushHour]

Yep, I'm facing Romo and Dez today. Matchup over.

 

[Ilov80s]

I just have to laugh at my friend in my league. He has Brady and Ben as his QBs. He started Brady the last two weeks (no fault in that) and thought he had a dream matchup for Brady's bye week. Ouch.

 

[JoeyJoJoJuniorShabadoo]

Was ahead 109 to 50 before facing big ben and Antonio brown. Their game put me down by 18. I had eli going tonight. Yeah eli sux

What a difference a week makes.

 

[tandl71]

I haven't had a a streaming TE score more than 6 points this year in a 1 PPR. Good call on Owen Daniels this week, too. I am changing my team name to My Tight Ends Suck Balls.

 

[oddsbodkins]

Got crushed in garbage time. Cowboys lost me 12 points after yielding a 4th and 13 and Big Ben ran 14 points on me with that 80 yarder.

 

[Houston turmOiler]

I have Peyton Manning against the Raiders and my opponent has Eli at Seattle. I should win that match up easily right?

 

[tandl71]

Why can't I ever choose the right lineup?

I believe in a benevolent God. But I honestly believe he spites fantasy football players.

 

[Acrobat7]

Thankfully Peyton was finally pulled from the game.

 

[cubbie5150]

Gonna lose to an owner who started Chris Johnson, Terrence Williams & Percy. Peyton has made up for those guys. Plamer did squat for me, now he's knocked out of the game.

 

[Power Monster]

Hillman with a can't miss match up

 

[brainee]

What is it like to see your players score TDs? Is it nice? I've forgotten ... haven't had a rushing or receiving TD in 3 weeks.

Though I do have Shady McCoy coming up and ...yeah, like that's going to happen.

 

[Henry Ford]

Luck and Morris are on a bye. Obviously I'm playing the Manning/Lynch owner.

 

[cubbie5150]

Great, thanks to opponent's Peyton & AZ DST (scoring double digit pts in the last 8-10 minutes of the game) and Carson Palmer doing nothing for me, now I need Shady McCoy to have a big game. And by "big" I don't mean 90 total yds followed by a bunch of apologists saying "he looked good"; "the TDs will come", blah blah blah. I am screwed.

 

[bulger2holt]

My luck is so bad, it could be raining (female parts) and I would get hit with a penis

 

[shadyridr]

Lol i thought i had a chance of adams+crosby keeping it close with nelson.
