***Official Week 12 Venting*** (1 Viewer)

[Marc Levin]

Please keep all venting here.

I'll start - benched Romo for the magical mystery that is Hasselbeck returning. 10 minutes left in the fourth and I have 35 points on my bench - against an opponent who played Owens. :(

 

[Slingblade]

Chambers...I'm sick of his candy ###.

benched him since I was going against him (liked the matchup though)...he is my backup to Palmer, so hopefully this is not going to hurt me too much.

 

[Utter Chaos]

Benched Romo (27 points) for Garcia thinking Garcia would be throwing more since they'd be playing catch up while Dallas wouldn't have to throw much.

Also put Ronnie Brown in for Marion Barber (22 points) since he appeared to be healthy.

 

[Trey]

But where do I go if I want to vent about Week 12?

 

[NorvilleBarnes]

The only thing I have to vent about is not having NFL Network for the late. And I can't get it

Off to the freaking sports bar on Thanksgiving like a freaking degenerate.

 

[spacepimp]

My week 12 vent is this:

Early games (Thursday) throw off groove of season. I had Harrington and MBIII slated to start in one league then pulled at last minute; conversely, I pulled Kitna in favor of Romo in another league.

Take the good with the bad.

Right now though: I hate seeing MBIII in the DAL backfield...it F'n kills me every time.

 

[KingEl]

Started Romo which was great, but my opponent had Owens which almost counciled it out.

My vent: I almost picked up Harrington to block my opponent from picking him up(McNabb owner), but decided against it for some unknown reason.

Then, the last meaningless 5 yd Galloway catch gave Galloway 8 bonus pts for avg yds per catch which is activated when the WR reaches three catches. That one 5 yd catch added 10 pts to my opponents total.

At least benching Bulger for Romo paid off big though!

 

[seahawk 17]

It could be the vodka and cranberry juice, but I started him over SA.

 

[Slingblade]

I started him over M.Bell and Betts.

 

[Garts]

wow

 

[Macdaddy_2004]

Nothing else to do on a Thursday so lets try it

 

[Trey]

Started M. Bell!

In your faces!

 

[Garts]

Started M. Bell!In your faces!

Nash probably gets 10-12 touches

 

[EdwardCat]

Absurd

 

[Garts]

Nash blows. He looks terrible. Good decision...let the HEAVY drinking begin!

 

[librahi]

i think any of us who starting the Denver RB tonight should be shot. Mike Bell better break one or score a TD. If not, whoops, season down the drain for me.

 

[Sister Havana]

Played Chambers, while Glenn and his 2 TDs languished on my bench.

 

[Bri]

Jarrett Payton beat him out

 

[tandl71]

The NFL Network is not in High Definition!

What the hell is with that???

 

[Diamond One]

Wondering if I made a bad call starting Ronnie over Dunn... Guess I'll find out soon enough. My rival ran TO & MIA D, so I'm in a hole with a questionable Colston to boot...

Also one of the very few without NFL Network...

 

[librahi]

1st and goal on the 1, give it to Bell, huh? He got you a 1st on 3rd and 4, then you throw it? Piss on you.

Every week Mike is on my bench, he gets 2 Tds from the 1. Not this week, I started him. 2 points. Kill me.

Must win week or I'm done for good.

Channel 95 on Directv. Just found it.

 

[Don Quixote]

Venting thread. Use it.

 

[librahi]

i used it, don't worry.

 

[BrentBlack]

 

[librahi]

what does that mean?

 

[Mr. Know-It-All]

Well I just traded my way out of the playoffs. I needed to win my final two games and have two of three teams lose their final two games.

One of those guys that had to lose twice traded me Fred Taylor and Garrard for Romo (I have Hasselbeck so I thought it was great because I needed a rb with K Jones out). Sure enough Romo goes off and this guy is going to get a win just based on Romo and Glenn.

The other team that I needed to lose is playing a guy who didn't turn in a lineup prior to todays games so he winds up not being able to use Larry Johnson. So he'll chalk a loss and I am now officially eliminated.

4th highest scoring team in a 12 team league where 8 teams make the playoffs and I am out of it. I can definitely

did a search, can't find it. what the hell are you talking about? this is making me go

 

[ColForbin]

I can relate, this is the first week where a fantasy owner would've known in advance that Mke Bell is startng, and he tremendously underperforms. Sure shanny couldve gave him that GL carry, but overall Mike bell did not run well tonight. I started him and he sucked, but then again I started Romo so who cares?

 

[librahi]

found it now, still don't get it, but oh well....

while i agree he sucked, how can you really tell unless you let a guy catch some rhythm? they feed LJ the ball all day and he gets into a rhythm. feed mike bell the ball once a quarter, then replace him with john doe. i mean, what does that do? do you expect him to break a 50 yard run while only touching the ball 6 times?

There's a big difference between knowing what you're talking about and being pissed off that you started Mike Bell.

you don't think that's true? you really think a guy can have a good game and show what he's made of with 4 carries a half?

i think mike bell "showing what me's made of" is irrelevant. shanhan is not trying to win you a fantasy game.

sure isn't. he isn't gonna win himself a game, or the city of denver, or his team a playoff spot.... good one though.

Edit: Nevermind, I realized librahi was the original poster up top.

 

[PatsWillWin]

Then why are posting? That wasn't what librahi was talking about at all.He's saying you can't bash Mike Bell and say he sucks based on his performance tonight when Shanny only gave him 10 carries. He's not arguing Shanny's choice of play calling (although someone should), only that it's a faulty conclusion to say Mike Bell must suck because he didn't rush for 100 yards on only 10 chances.

Incorrect.He's saying he hates Shanahan. And it's because he started Mike Bell. He's venting in the Pool, nothing more.

Read the title. TIA.

 

[redman]

It must be a terrible shock to learn that you can't trust anything about the way that Mike Shanahan utlizes his RB's. I mean, what's next, is Norv Turner going to start handing the ball off a lot or something?
