Screwed by this error? Seriously?FBG didn't post your roster or draft your team. They gave you advice, which is what you paid for. You expect the projections and cheatsheets to be 100% accurate each week? Surely not. They are intended to be a guide, but you make the final call. If you made a bad one, blame yourself.

How did FBG screw you? The others have not even played yet. Cincy still has plenty of game to go. This is still the 9ers they are playing. Yeesh, relax.

If FPGs' advice was right every week, they wouldn't have to charge you for it because they wouldn't have this website because they would be millionaires
The advice you get from here is the same advice you get from one of those game predictors- sites that tell you if you should or should not bet on a game, the spread, etc... If sites like that and this one were 100% right all the time, they wouldn't need the website, they coudl just play their own picks and make millions.
You, sir, are a moron...
look at their preseason top 10 Qbs, RBs, WRs... tell me how many are perfect with what the top 10s are in your league... honestly, 50% accuracy would be unbelievable...

Does your mom wipe your ### still after a dump too? Stop trying to blame FBG because you chose to follow their advice. You started the Bengals, deal with it.
14 weeks in, I probably wouldn't want to rely on the Bengals defense. 
And that's taking into consideration how awful the 49er offense looked under Dilfer&Smith.

FYI I did not start the Bengals on any team. Just pointing out that everyone is saying how the KNEW the Bengals were going to suck and they were ranked 5th by FBG. In case you were wondering I started the Vikings.Does your mom wipe your ### still after a dump too?Stop trying to blame FBG because you chose to follow their advice.

Defensive projections are very tricky b/c there are so many different scoring systems. In a system that emphasizes big plays like INTS, the Bengals vs. a rookie 3rd stringer is a totally reasonable play that hasn't panned out. In systems where you get hurt by points allowed, you should know better than touching them with a 1000 foot pole. Instead of how about doing something constructive like suggesting they broaden their defensive projections for next year and the custom rankings accordingly, hire Miss Cleo, and get a fresh supply of voodoo dolls.
FBG is a great tool, but if you just use it as a quick cheat-sheet maker and don't do your own analysis, you can but make sure are wearing it first so the blame can be more accurately applied.

No problem.....not defending him but its easy to pile it on. If he would have started a thread about how HE liked the match-up, first start at QB, lowest scoring team, etc. I'm sure we would have some sympathy for himSorry I thought you were the OP.

At the very least, a sincere written apology by Dodds is in order here.

You obviously chose the cheap subscription.
Next time do what I did, pony up an extra $30 and get the guaranteed subscription that is always 100% correct. Takes a bit of the fun out of trying to manage your team, but I am 14-0 in 19 different leagues. It's worth the extra money.

Because they were playing the Niners who suck as well. It's a guideline. If you instinct tells you to play someone, play them. But blaming FBG because a 3rd string QB was able to rally his loser team to a win makes you a worse coach/manager than either of the coaches tonight.These threads always crack me up, people can't take responsibility for their own actions. They want someone to win their games for them but whine when projections aren't dead on.

Any decent owner takes projections with a grain of salt. I sat Housh tonight even though he was rated higher than my other options (A. Gates and S. McDonald).
Sometimes you just have to go w/ your gut.

They had them ranked so high because the niners have the worst ranked offense in the league. Going with a new qb. But even the worst ranked offense can put up poiints on the bungles. I probably wouldn't have started Cinn over the bears or NYG. Bad weather is good for defenses. Sometimes you've got to come up with your own rankings. If you depend on FBG rankings all year, you're going to be disappointed alot.
I can only hope they are wrong about Mcgahee and grant as well, since they have them both ranked ahead of my 2 guys Gore and AP. Please be wrong, pleeeezzzzzz!
LOL
