Not only has he just generally looked like _____ (u fill in the blank), but he has now added the fumble to his repitoire. He's laid the rock down three times (all lost) in three games this year. I thought he would be a nice pick this year as RB2. I have no faith whatsoever in Mike Martz as a football mind though, and I'm 100% positive that the wheels have fallen off in Detroit already. I knew they were not going to light the world on fire as a team, but they were at least on everyones list as a potential sleeper offesne. I dont see it though. A losing football team, an incompetant Offensive coordinator, not to mention a WR mess that is shaky at best. I am going to hopefully use this weeks game to try and build a case for someone to take this waste off of my hands for me. He has to do something against the Rams right? Anyone else hanging on to this guy? Maybe I am overreacting and just showing a little frustration of being 0-3. Just please do something against the Rams Kevin.
and a KJ owner 
here.
No offense, but there are several guys like you in my Dynasty League. We've been glued to a TD - heavy scoring format and it's become quite stale. I've been pounding on the table for years to open it up a but every season these codgers with old beanbags garner enough votes to shut down my proposals. These neanderthal's also cling to the notion that "TD's are the only thing that win games"and "I didn't sign up for rotisserie basball". What do they all have in common? They're all over 40 and have been playing FF for over a decade (some 20 + years). In fact, the only reason TD only FF became popular is because it is/was easy to score with a newsapaper, notebook, and pencil. Not to mention the fact that it was the only game around. Look, I'm sure the NFL was a hoot before the forward pass, but who in the hell wants to go back to it. What these guys don't realize is that it's not 1982 anymore. Take off the Gandalf hat. Drop your Dungeon Master handbook. It's time to come out of the closet. Your parent's broom closet. It's a brave new world out there. We have computers to handle the fancy arithmetic. There's a game out there similiar(in name) to the FF Tic-Tac-Toe you're used to. It still uses real NFL players but this game requires actual thought. It rewards thorough research and encourages conversation and competition. TD-only FF is roulette to performance based FF's poker. One you can do blindfolded. The other one is constantly evolving, has endless variations, and rewards skill and practice. Me, I prefer checkers to chess. I prefer Risk to Battleship. And I prefer Auction/Dynasty/IDP/Salary Cap/Contract/Formation leagues with a perfomace based scoring system to the arbitrary nature of TD-only leagues. Mike mine all of the above while you bask in the "unpredictability". :X **Full disclosure**I was 13 -2, points champion, and playoff champion in the aforementioned TD-heavy league. I'm 3 - 0 so far this season.Basic offensive scoring:3 pts/50 yards rushing/receiving/6 pt TD's////3 pts/250 yds passing/1pt for each additional 50 yard increment beyonf 250 yards/4 pt. passing TD's.
Although, I knew this was going to happen against STL. My grandmother could run for 150 and 2 TD's against them. He did look great though, and even based on this performance would consider moving him. He is not going to play STL every week. Having said that, very pleased with the outcome today (although DET still managed to lose even with his efforts). Maybe I just really dont like DET!
