Is anyone as convinced as I am that its gonna be long year? (1 Viewer)

[ppierce]

Tough knowing that your team sucks already after week 1. I just dont know where consistant scoring is gonna come from.

The Bears won and my FF team won and the Packers lost. Football is AWESOME!!

Now next week, when my FF team looses and the Bears lose on some flukey BS bad call by replacement refs, then I'll probably join you in your pity party. But not yet.

Chin up and all that - it's only 1 game

 

[skedssays]

I think this year should be just as long as last year. And probably quite similar in length to next year.

 

[donkshow]

Not for me, I had the 2nd most points in my league this week, and I faced the team that had the most. That was without Mathews.

I'm liking it..

 

[Apple Jack]

I suggest you do something about it. And there's a thread for whining pinned at the top of the folder.

/threadnot suprising though judging by your posts. not suprsing though.

Huh. The Op was right. Who knew?

you might be the most dramatic poster here. It's fantasy football. And...it's only week 1. chill out

 

[rubrink]

Cowboys won, Packers lost, I'm 2-1 in FF (and my loss is in a $30 league I dont care about). Great kickoff weekend ;-)

This is still one of my favorite strings of posts:

Stafford was Sr Checkdown before his injury. I still see big things for Megatron. Just not meant to be. 2 almost TD's and he's on his way this week.

What can we expect out of Hill for Megatron? Personally I didn't love what i was seeing from Stafford anyway but who knows?

Remind me why I drafted Megatron over Roddy White and Reggie Wayne? I had this guy last year and didn't learn. The Lions are the Lions. I've bought into their preseason hype 4 years in a row now.This site nailed Nicks so far but had Cj at #2 behind AJ. I know its early but i have a bad feeling.

gonna be a good year for me, so far 3 and 1 record for my 4 teams!!

 

[Raiderfan32904]

Note to the OP: I started out 0-2 last year with the lowest overall points by far and at the bottom of the 12 team heap and recovered to finish overall points leader and league champion. Don't give up, and don't get complacent if you win either. The season is a marathon. One win or loss won't make or break.

One thing I do know is those who didn't draft a RB in the first few rounds has very little chance at winning leagues this year. I have never the RB pool so thin, even in shallow leagues.

I am doing just fine with Kevin Smith and Darren Sproles as my RB2 and 3 so far.

I'm not saying it can't be done, you're an exception so far but you're still counting on Kevin Smith staying healthy. What is your next option if & when he goes down?

 

[Banger]

things change quick but if it looks desperate you may want to change tactics and go for broke. If you truly feel you are done trade your stud wr/qb for guys like Leshoure, J. Stewart, etc.. Try to stock your roster with cloudy upside guys and hope something happens. What's the worst that happens...you lose horribly? Big deal.

Last year around draft time it seemed like RB was really deep, but a lot of those guys didn't pan out. This year it seems like it's shallow, but there will be productive guys that you're not thinking of yet. In reality, RB production throughout the NFL probably won't be that much different than it was last year, it's just your perception that's changed. Over longer time scales, trends change (e.g. it's more of a passing league now than it was ten years ago) but from year to year it doesn't move so much that RB would be incredibly thin this year compared to recent years. As always, there will be a handful of studs who rush for well over 1000+ yards and 10+ TDs, there will be another pack of 12 or so middle tier guys who run for 1000 yards, there will be another pack of 12 or so guys who rush for 700-1000 yards, etc. Some years it just "feels" easier to identify who these guys will be.

that's a good point....For instance, BJGE ended up on 2 of my rosters as a RB4 and I was completely meh and looking to package him up...after watching him last night it looks like he might actually be a good player this year.

 

[zamboni]

Disagree

Got a feeling 2012 is gonna be a good year.

Exactly. If this year's pool looks thin, then it just means we have to look harder. I doubt NFL teams as a whole are going to have wildly different rushing totals than they did last year or the year before. Someone is going to rush for all those yards. It might seem to be less clear this year who all those "someones" will be, but that doesn't mean that the RB position is actually less deep than it was. It may just mean that this is the year to be especially active on the waiver wire.

or guys are going to get cheap home runs with their mid round depth guys like Ridley, Leshoure, K. Smith, Wells, Morris, etc..

[DepthCharts]

considering I just lost a 141.xx game by .25 points I can assure you its going to be a veryyyyy long year. im hoping for a scoring change week 1 if that tells you anything!

1-10-SEA31 (4:03) R.Wilson pass short right to D.Baldwin to SEA 35 for 4 yards (P.Peterson).

please tell me that was a run and not a pass! lol

 

[ShaHBucks]

not if you have C.J Spiller

I thought I did great getting Chris Johnson, Fred Jackson, and Willis McGahee in the first first 5 rounds. They combined for 13 points. I hate my team now.

Gonna be a long year just dealing with this CBS debacle. Unbelievable how badly they screwed up a good thing. I fully expect a mass exodus next season, barring some kind of refund/reformat maneuver.

I think they effed up the initial waivers run tonight!

What is the CBS debacle? We use CBS sportsline and I have no idea what you're talking about...

Honestly, it's Week 1. Sample size, small.
