[Ministry of Pain]

I can't believe my worthless pile of crap team is going othit high score again...I cruz for 2 weeks I guess. Shockey going down for 6 weeks is going ot kill me. Brees has no Colston, no Shockey, I'm dead in the water, just a matter of time.

Well, unless LT and Porter come back form their injuries and perform this week, I have a feeling I will be going home. Who would have thought RB would be my weakest position? Even after getting knocked for where I took Jones, having LT and Rudi seemed like a 'safe' RB group. Scary seeing Jamaal Charles outscore Felix (ST TDs should count for players )Good news is Meachem is coming to life, along with Bryant Johnson.

Thats why you draft QB/QB bro....watch and learn....Peace

But not why you draft both of them with the same BYE week, which happens to be really early in the season. You'll need immunity this week to survive next... unfortunately. I was hoping neither of us were in SSL IV next season, just to shut the naysayers up.

dont worry Pasquino will be drafting right with you guys. LOLActually QB is least important position in these leagues, IMO. And I would rather have my only QB have a bye early, rather than late.

Week 4 is a race between switz, TRR and myself to see who can sneak through. If they both make it past 3, of course.

week 4? Why should I worry about week 4?

Well, when posted, LT was questionable with a toe injury and Rudi hadn't touched the ball, so it appeared you were hurting at RB with only Felix to produce in his 10-12 touches, your WR this week, unless Porter and/or Rice get back on the field are Meachum and Bryant Johnson with no WR3, and you have no margin on your TE, K, or D. For your squad, with the injuries at WR, I think you'll be scraping to survive every week. If LT were limited or Rudi goes back to the bench, even more so.However, this week looks like its my time to go. Assuming Westy doesn't go, I'll have no QB and Dunn as my only RB score. I will need huge games from WR/TE spots to have any chance to survive. I doubt it happens.TRR gives me a bit of hope, though, as he also has no QB, Edge/Foster for RBs only. It should come down to which set of WR/TE does better for these 2.

No margin at TE? Winslow is like the 4th (44) highest scoring TE... Fasano, despite the big 0 week 2, is tied for #2 (48)... While the Steelers haven't been as good as I'd hoped, they've put up 10+ points each week, only two other defenses (TEN & PHI) have done that... they don't have big games, but they are consistent... so I won't lose because of my D

And Folk is among the better kickers, though I don't think he's among the best... he's not a weakness for my team...

And I haven't had a WR3 all season long... who needs a stinkin' WR3 anyway

For your squad, with the injuries at WR, I think you'll be scraping to survive every week. If LT were limited or Rudi goes back to the bench, even more so.

The injuries at WR did hurt me, well, injuries in general hurt me.... LT, Porter, Obomanu... but my Quinn pick looks genius, IF I make it to week 10 (Romo's BYE)... Felix has made my starting lineup a couple times I believe, and is slotted to get more touches each week... Rudi is now the starter in DET (though I can't take any credit for that)... I've never been in the bottom three any week... and the guys that started injured are now coming back... Porter should be back next week, LT looks better, Meachem has come on, Rice is supposed to play versus TEN and with Frerotte back, should put up some numbers... I'm liking my chances moving forward

However, this week looks like its my time to go. Assuming Westy doesn't go, I'll have no QB and Dunn as my only RB score. I will need huge games from WR/TE spots to have any chance to survive. I doubt it happens.

TRR gives me a bit of hope, though, as he also has no QB, Edge/Foster for RBs only. It should come down to which set of WR/TE does better for these 2.

I'm not sure which order, but I would guess you too are the next ones to be eliminated... I would guess you lose week 4, if Westy is out... then TRR week 5... I'm honestly glad to have made it this far, with all the injuries that hit my team

The "no margin" was related to week 4. You don't have Fasano, Vinatieri or the Indy D going, so you need each of the others to have decent weeks. Winslow, for example, this past week had what, 1 catch? If he has that next week, it hurts your chances. I agree that I'm in trouble this week. Waiting as long as i did for a QB2, then watching him get benched before week 4? I didn't see that coming. Not that TJax was going to be a savior, but I figured I could get a few points from the QB spot.

Ah... yeah, Winslow had a bad week... but the other positions are backups anyway, Elam and Steelers always end up in my SL over Vinatieri and the Colts It is what it is... I don't see myself making it past week 6, but it's still been a fun league so far, and definitely a learning experience...

We both ran risks with our QB2... TJax and Quinn... I figured Quinn would get the nod at some point this season, but I didn't really think they'd be clamoring for him already. TJax I thought had potential, but the rest of the team is ready to go, and he was clearly holding them back. We actually drafted very similar teams as far as makeup, strengths, and weaknesses go...

Now you are missing Burress for a couple more weeks as well... He just received a 2 game suspensionBut Westbrook sounds like he'll be able to play

 

[teamramrod]

looks like it is me vs ESG.

His saving grace is that Anderson faces the helpless Bengals. We know Manning will get 0 this week.

Ah well, we all have to admit that my pick of Brady/Manning took balls. We all have to admit that my Jerry Porter post was probably the best smack talk out of all the drafts, with one small exception, that whole "He is not a Raider" thing. I also had the honor of being BSS's sig for a few months.

I am in it to win like Yzerman, but much like Yzerman was at the end, Will and a knee with no cartilage is not enough....

Peace and see you all in SSL IV next spring.

 

[BassNBrew]

Ah well, we all have to admit that my pick of Brady/Manning took balls.

Actually drafting Brady/Manning 1/2 is more likely the trait of someone with a ######, not balls.

Only part of your post you got right...

 

[switz]

Another team heavily affected by the week 4 bye (in line with other bad picks)...

No QB

Too bad only 2 RBs get you points....

1.13 comet - Ryan Grant, RB12, GB 8

3.13 comet - Willie Parker, RB20, PIT 6

8.04 comet - Matt Forte, RB36, CHI 8

11.13 comet - Justin Fargas RB44, OAK 5

2.04 comet - Braylon Edwards, WR4, CLE 5

17.13 comet - Drew Carter, WR86, OAK 5

1 lousy TE

7.13 comet - Vernon Davis, TE11, SF 9

Full load of K and D though...

16.04 comet - Matt Stover, PK17, BAL 10

10.4 comet - San Diego Chargers, Def/ST1, SD 9

[teamramrod]

Millen got fired. It is a miracle.....

Do we smell a week 4 miracle for me as well?

Peace

Week 4 Miracle 1: Millen getting firedWeek 4 Miracle 2: Pete Carrol looking stunned on the sidelineWeek 4 Miracle 3: Michigan extending to 15 years the winless streak for Wisconsin at the Big House.Week 4 Miracle 4: ??? TRR surviving?4 in week 4. You read it here first...Peace

 

[Road Warriors]

Looks like TRR and I will both get past the week 4 hurdles we set for ourselves.

Prelim scoring ( unofficial )

RW: 100

TRR: 74

comet: 39 ( buckhalter and forte still to go )

 

[switz]

Week 4 is a race between switz, TRR and myself to see who can sneak through. If they both make it past 3, of course.

None of are really in the race to be eliminated this week... crazy...

 

[switz]

Comet

 

[switz]

Well guys... it looks like my gamble at WR is going to cost me... unless Rice or Porter turn it on next week, I'm likely gone form this league. I can't keep going with only 2 WRs giving me points each week. While I'm holding onto hope that these guys will wake up, I'm not optimistic.

 

[EBF]

I'm probably a goner on Cutler's bye. Hooray for Vince Young.

Only reason I drafted that bum is because I thought he had good job security. Woops.

Thats what you get for drafting a Raider Peace

I have Rodgers on a bye that same week with no backup, so you have competition that week.

It looks like I'll be spotting a QB score to the rest of the league with Hasselbeck out. Can I join this club?

YO Switz.....

We are up outta here. Next year, we will be the object of ridicule and derision in SSL III. Maybe higher, but 3 for now.

Peace

 

[Anthony Borbely]

My team is having a brutal week.

 

[Twilight]

My team is having a brutal week.

I find these posts real funny sometimes when I first look at the numbers.Here's a hint, If you get 12 pts from Prater, you TRIPLE the bootee of the week.

Romo out, Jones out, LT struggling with injury all season long. Couple WRs out with injuries after the draft. Winslow missed a game with injury.I'm pleased to have last this long.Compared to the USL Leg 2 team, this one is stacked.

 

[Steel Dillo]

I'll be seriously suprised if I make it through week 10 now.

This week I won't have a QB & the next week I'll be without both Owens & R. Williams.

 

[teamramrod]

SAY IT

SAY IT

TEAMRAMROD!!!

see y'all in week 9

Peace

 

[Steel Dillo]

Tonights game is going to be huge all the teams at the bottom of SSL IV this week. They all have players going tonight.

Color me suprised that I made it through this week. Thanks to my RBs & TE for stepping up big time. Now I need the same thing next week when both my Cowboy WRs are on a bye.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

101 right now with Joe Nedney to go, all his points count for me. I would think there's a chance I get to stick around another week...maybe get Reggie Bush back.

 

[Steel Dillo]

In the barn at around 143.

149 actually.And MOP, you are definitely safe. Road Warriors is done and done.

[Steel Dillo]

Best & Worst Players Picked in the First 10 Rounds Thru week 11

Rd1

Best: wraith5 - (1.07) Gore > Hot out of the blocks & only missed double digit points the week he put up 9

Worst: comet - (1.13) Grant > Horrible production for a 1st round pick for the first 6 weeks. Almost went with LJ (1.08 - Anthony Borberly) here, but at least he put up points early before the suspension.

Rd2

Best: EBF - (2.12) Boldin > Imagine what his numbers would look like w/o a broken jaw!

Worst: comet - (2.04) Edwards > suprised comet lasted to week 5 with this start

Rd3

Best: MOP - (3.11) Brees > Best of the early QBs

Worst: boston fred - (3.12) Maroney > stunk up the joint when playing. Dishonorable mention Roy Williams (3.14 Steel Dillo )

Rd4

Best: wraith5 - (4.10) McNabb > good production from QB7. Honorable mention to Hines Ward (4.16 - nittanylion) for great value @ WR23

Worst: beachbum - (4.07) F. Taylor > 2 mediocre weeks and the rest were pitiful

Rd5

Best: EBF - (5.05) Cutler > Another home run for EBF @ QB10

Worst: switz - J. Porter (5.02) > QB 24... picked right between Ward & Roddy White

Rd6

Best: EBF - (6.12) Chris Johnson > Rewarded for the ballsy call to take him that early. Honorable mention, Philip Rivers 6.03 Steel Dillo) drafted at QB14 and would be S.O.D. @ QB if not for Warner

Worst: norseman (6.08) Mendenhall > had lots of company on the su_ck wagon in this round

Rd7

Best: a. borberly - (7.08) Rodgers > Another great steal at QB20. Honorable mention to D. Williams (7.03, ESG).

Worst: nittanylion - (7.01) Lienart > Couldn't keep his job with Fitz & Boldin @ WR... nuff said.

Rd8

Best: nittanylion - (8.16) Warner > MVP

Worst: ESG - (8.14) E. Wilford > Lost the WR1, WR2 & WR3 job in Miami

Rd9 - A Big Round of Meh

Best: gamma1210 - (9.06) Donald Lee > It's pretty week when the best is a serviceable TE

Worst: EBF - (9.05) L. Robinson > 9 points (scored in 2 weeks) all year

Rd10

Best: a. borberly (10.09) Norwood > A solid bye week filler with several double digit weeks from RB43

Worst: comet - (10.04) Chargers > 5 points a game for the 1st Defense taken

 

[Ministry of Pain]

This could be RamRod's week. He doesn't have a lot less than I do at RB, but he also has very little brewing at WR/TE, and I think I have enough to slide by this week. Vikings Defense is helping me out big time.

What happens for making the final 4?

Congrats, but that's about it. This week will be the final immunity awarded. When we're at 3, it goes to 2 week boots. Week 14 & 15 lose one. Then Week 16 and Week 17 decide the championship

 

[Steel Dillo]

And Then There Were Three!

Congrats EBF & MOP.

I was just looking at our teams and I think that we all have a pretty good chance at winning, but I thought I'd compare us all by position for the fun of it. The comparison will rank each position 1,2 or 3 and with the idea that the team with the lowest avg. number for all positions combined has the best chance at winning. I also weighted the value of each position as seen below based on a quick calculation.

QB - 21% of Team Value

We all have just 1 QB, but they've all been steady (with the exception of Rivers over the last 3 weeks).

MOP - 1, EBF - 2 & SD - 3

RB - 23% of Team Value

Once again 3 pretty good groups. But IMO I have a slight edge.

SD - 1, EBF - 2 & MOP 3

WR - 31% of Team Value

Here is where we start separating the wheat from the chafe. We all have one stud... Boldin, AJ & TO, but MOP has a solid group of guys to fill in the other 2 spots each week. EBF is OK, but I'm praying for miracles each week.

MOP - 1, EBF - 2 & SD - 3

TE - 12% of Team Value

Gonzalez has been phenomenal all year for EBF & Keller filled in nicely also. I've gotten better than average production from my combo of Daniels/H.Miller.

EBF - 1, SD - 2 & MOP - 3

K - 6% of Team Value

Not much differential here, so I'll rank them by the highest scoring individual kicker per team.

EBF - 1, MOP - 2 & SD - 3

D/ST - 7% of Team Value

Drafting a D/ST early didn't help MOP much. SD & EBF have OK or better scores from waiting till later in the draft.

SD - 1, MOP - 2 & EBF - 3

The end results...

EBF has a raw score of 1.68

MOP has a raw score of 2.04

SD has a raw score of 2.28

So to quote Dennis Green... EBF is who we thought he is! If you want to crown him, then crown his ###!

[Ministry of Pain]

So do we play for 2 weeks now before the next elimination? I really need to get Bush back 100% to have a chance, the WR for me have been pretty good, need some extra help at different positions.

I am completely dependent on the New Orleans offense however...not a terrible thing but if they mail it in any of the next couple of weeks I am toast.

yes points accumulate for the next two weeks before booting one player.Then scores reset and the final two play week 16 & 17 for the title

 

[Steel Dillo]

Can we extend the immunity clause for one next week...
