Dude in my league has abandoned his team and started four players on bye, plus Vick. He still won.

Guy with Vick (and LeSean) was down 70 points to the top team going into last night. He got ahead in the third 161 to 160, but other team had Cooley who got two quick receptions (PPR) and ended up squashing the comeback 163 to 161 (not much scoring after that for Vick or LeSean).
I have never seen an (almost) Fantasy comeback like that.

I played against Vick and beat his team by over 100 points, 233.44 to 124.52 (12-team PPR). But it was a perfect storm situation. The other team did NOTHING outside of Vick. Vick put up almost half of his points all by himself.
My team went insane with Ryan/Roddy, Wallace, Calvin, Bowe all having games way over their projected totals. (We start 3WR and a Flex)

I beat the Vick (and DeSean) owner in my league. I had built up a 107 point lead going into last night despite two goose eggs in my lineup (Hernandez, Chiefs D) thanks mainly to Eli and my WRs (Roddy, Dez, and Mike Thomas). The rest of my opponent's team was pretty weak (R Brown, J James, R Moss, Moeaki).
Vick and DeSean combined for 83 points in our scoring system, and I "only" won by 24. Would have been a lot scarier if not for the Mike Thomas hail mary TD

WHat happened 
I started Best + Turner at RB and Marshall + Nicks at WR in a TD heavy league...
Vick put up 38 last night and I lost by 1
WOuld've rather lost by 10...fell short by either 20 yards rushing or 17 more yards passing....either would've got me 1 more pt and I win the tie-breaker. Or Folk couldn't have missed a few FGs...Keller coulda put up more than 25 pts etc, etc...
Would've been 7-3 and had a one game lead in division...now 6-4 and in a 3 way tie

I had Vick and lost by 2 in one of my leagues. I'm in three leagues and have Vick in two of them. I won the other one where I have Vick while setting the all-time scoring record.
However, in the one I lost, I was down 111-36 going into last night. I had Vick and McCoy. My other starters (Best, Rice, M. Williams [TB], Hernandez) had absolutely let me down. The Cards defense gave me -3 points, and that was against the Seahawks! It's a TD-heavy non-PPR league. Vick had 58 points and McCoy had 15, so I lost 111-109. None of the guys on my bench lit it up, but I would have won had I played any backup RB and sat Best or Rice, or if I had played any other WR and sat Williams. And, of course, I would have won if I had not played a defense. Ugh.
Going into the game, I was the top team in the league. I still sit atop the standings, but it was frustrating to get that close and not pull it out.

My cousin was down 63 in his matchup, got 69 from vick+mccoy for a pretty epic comeback.
In the league I'm personally more invested in, im in a battle for total points on the year. I won total points for the week and expanded my league (garrard sjax white andre winslow helped a tad), but the guy behind me had vick and mccoy. i needed it because he beat the guy tied for second, record wise, with me so now i have a solid 1 game lead (2 if u consider i lead him in the tiebreaker by 200 points). However, coming into the night my points lead was 116 on the year, vick+mccoy+gano cut it to 40. ugh.

I had a 48 pt lead going into the game and all he had was Vick. I lost by 7. The thing that really makes me wanna beat my head into a pile of bricks is I would have won if I'd played Olsen instead of Hernandez. Yee-freakin-hah.

On the way home from work, heard on the radio a pretty funny Mike Vick loser story.
Guy is trailing big time and going for the hail mary. Starts Mike Vick and the Redskins Defense.
Well the Skins defense got him negative 15, Vick got him 62.
He lost by 6!
ouch!

0 pts. from Witten didn't help me. I lost against a guy who had Cassel & Bowe, Moreno, M. Williams (SEA), Winslow...I had 3rd most pts. in the leage, he had the 2nd most. Lost by 16 pts.

My opponent had the league's highest score this season going in and I was down by 90.
I figured I was done for. Vick got 84. DJax got me 21.
Probably the greatest comeback in the history of my league.
No lead is safe when you face the Vick owner

I would have felt a lot better had my opponent had Orton, but his QB was Troy Smith, he plugged in Goodson at RB, He not only had Bowe, but had Mike Thomas and the nice little gift at the end of the game, not to mention Kelvin Hayden and his INT TD. Needless to say, I was destined to lose and it was just one of those weeks.
