Interesting question for everyone - if you make the final 2,000 and someone offered you $25 for your entry, would take it?

No way.

same here.There's a nonmonetary entertainment value of still being alive. There's also the downside - if I'm eliminated and missed out on $25, I can live just fine with that. But if I pocket $25 (that'll be forgot about pretty quickly) and the guy I sell to wins a big stack, I'll feel sick forever.I guess I should rephrase my question. Who out there WOULD sell for $25 after week 9, given the chance to do so?

NO DEAL!!!

I dont think you start thinking about chopping until we get down to 4 or 8.

Nevermind, different format from last time.

My brothers team is still alive, and he mentioned if he got ot the final few teams, he would not chop unless somehow they played it out and the winner still got a decent chunk of cash. I am curious to know how many of you guys would not consider chopping?

 

[Buckeyedawgs]

I would never chop even knowing my chance of the finals was getting slimmer by the minute with my top 63 dollar RB still out. DARN MADDEN JINK.

Too much pride to chop!

You have SA and are still in it?

 

[videoguy505]

I wouldn't mind a chop, actually. Getting something for nothing, I'm always in favor.

 

[QuizGuy66]

So do we have a preliminary cut line for week 9 yet?!?

Sorry, just practicing

[chihawk]

I'm going to say an early good-bye. Without a QB playing this weekend on my roster, I have a feeling I'm going to have a hard time getting through to next week.

I thought having Simms vs NO and Leftwich vs Tenn would work for me on Chad's bye week.

 

[Drunken Cowboy]

I too am playing without a QB this week. It will take a minor miracle to get me through.

 

[The Grizzly One]

A fun contest and a fun thread. My average has been 157.7 with a low of 129.5 WK 7.

No McNabb this week but Vick or Vince should help me through. RB is my concern with Parker and Bush needing to show up along side LT2.

 

[Raleigh Engineers]

I am also without a QB this week and expecting to have a tough time advancing to next week.

Like hearing this news...now I just need to hear that from 998 more of you to feel good about this week 33% cut is going to be a nasty one...

 

[Regis]

Anyone wondering when S. Alexander will be back.

I guarantee it will be the week AFTER I'm cut from this contest...and he'll score about 4 times that week :-(

I'm still hanging in there despite his zeroes every week...

 

[johnnybronco]

ugly just ugly

Horn and Glenn are my WRs..........oh the horror.

Gabriel and Driver better come through along with one of Sammie Parker and Burelson......

Burelson, Sammie Parker.........

C-PepSimsDellhomeAlthough I have got TD's from Wilford and Glenn. If I get a herculean effort today from LT2 and 1 receiver I might be able to pull it off.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Kevin Jones 30

Miami Dolphins 21

Matt Stover 14

Housh 15.6

Lee Evans 13.8

Still have Manning, Wayne, Watson, and FWP

I am at 105 right now...would like to get north of 140-150. We'll see.

The sack by Taylor and recovery by Carter was reviewed and overturned (incomplete pass). Miami DT should be 4 points lower.

 

[Nugget]

Unless Ben Watson goes nuts, I'd expect our lowest cut of the season.

 

[Kleck.]

81.6 + Wayne or Braylon - 11.6 & 11.9, Maroney or Gore - 5.7 & 14, Watson - 2.1, and Chargers.

this is a team that could very well be the one that takes the whole thingmanning, jones, wayne, housh - 4 players that can put up studly points each wekwatson and fwp are an awesome support castonly thing is Evans, its hit and miss

 

[freshly_shorn]

Unless Ben Watson goes nuts, I'd expect our lowest cut of the season.

If that's true, I'm feeling good about making it. Already at 111+ with several afternoon game players to go...And I (like everyone else) have Watson, though I also have Heath Miller who's looking great so far...

 

[Koya]

Going into tonight, with two kickers on a bye (im not very smart) and some less than spectacular performances, I was not looking good at all.

With Willie Parker and Javon, we are currently sitting at 107.5, with Peyton vs. Kitnas score to go. We at least have a shot.

 

[Cobalt Cruisin']

any semi-official scoring for the early games?

 

[BroadwayG]

Hoorah FWP!!!!

 

[faux_bear]

Unless Ben Watson goes nuts, I'd expect our lowest cut of the season.

I might agree with you if there weren't a 33% cut this week. It won't be high, but it should be at least a 110, if only because of how many of us are getting the axe this week.

 

[Milwaukees_best]

Not trying to rub it in by any means. But with 144 and Ben Watson still to go, I am starting to get excited. Not that I think I will win, but I think this is the closest I have ever been to this kind of prize in my life.

I guess this makes up for my not getting ANY numbers on like my last 30 lottery tickets.

 

[sinatravolta]

Man - after a couple of close weeks my team is back!

Kitna

Rudi

FWP

Galloway

Wilford

Housh

Stover

Miami D

I calculate around 163 with Watson still to go at TE.

 

[my man otis]

GB Devery Henderson and the Dolphins D!!!

 

[ThisGuy]

I'm sitting at 100 w/o a QB or a K. I have Wayne & Watson left (13) I think I need another 40+ week from these 2

 

[ZenMaster]

Assuming I can do simple math, I'm at 120.8 right now. Players I have left:

Wayne (-7.7)

Watson (other TE is V. Davis)

Gostkowski (-12.0)

This is actually the first time all season I've calculated my score. Usually I wait until it's posted for me before looking but I got impatient today for some reason.

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Bulger, Javon Walker, Roy Williams, Chester Taylor and the Miami D scored me something like 130 alone.

So I'm on ~170 with Gabriel (-9.9) and Watson (-4.6). Really like how my team is rounding out now too.

 

[Koya]

Unless Ben Watson goes nuts, I'd expect our lowest cut of the season.

I might agree with you if there weren't a 33% cut this week. It won't be high, but it should be at least a 110, if only because of how many of us are getting the axe this week.

Anything you are basing the 110 number on, if I may ask?FWP and Javon have me around 135 with Manning if he outdoes Kitna.

 

[Darth Cheney]

FWP

LL2

Housyamama

Wilford

Glenn

Miami D

Still have Watson, Caldwell and Josh Brown to go. Hope to be alright.

 

[my man otis]

GB Devery Henderson and the Dolphins D!!!

Late TDs by Tomlinson and Edwards puts me at ~150 with Wayne (-15.6), Watson, Josh Brown (-2) to go.Hopefully that's enough but I'm guessing I survived with no QB this week (McNabb, Simms, Martin).

 

[The Grizzly One]

And to think I was worried without McNabb. 189 with Watson and Jano -7

 

[Cowboys#1]

does anyone know the %own of stephen jackson and m. harrison.

im out of the contest but im interested in these 2 guys in particular.

cant find the chart doug posted

not basing it on anything really, just someone's comment that this will be the lowest cut we've seen yet. At this point, I'm thinking that comment was probably way off. There seems to be some decent scores from some players that are widely owned (eg. TJ Housh, Willie Parker, Roy Williams, Braylon Edwards), which, coupled with the high cut percentage, should only lead to a moderately high cut score.

I'm at 126.2 + Watson right now...not sure how I should be feeling.

page 46, post 2269.

 

[Cowboys#1]

as i suspected..

Steven Jackson 54 4.7 20.0

Marvin Harrison 43 1.7 16.4

these were my 2 horses (also had fwp and gore).. i was ousted last week with no receivers but i thought my chances were decent with the low ownership #'s of these guys.

of course i will cry myself to sleep with the 282927 points jax got today

and thanks for finding the post, otis

Cautiously optimistic, but man has LT2 been golden for me through these 3 tough weeks!

-QG

 

[redaddy25]

Sitting at 147.0, have Watson (-8.4) and Gostkowski (-8.0). I went from having only 1 double digit WR the last 2 weeks to having 5 this week.

 

[EBF]

Feeling good at 142.3 + (Maroney/Dillon - 12.7).

Is there any way we can get standings based on season totals? It would be interesting to have a look at the highest scoring teams for the entire season.

 

[Barry Jive and The Uptown Five]

My first breakthrough performance!

Javon Walker... 44.6

S. Jackson....... 40.9

My first 2 guys to break 30 (I think)...

Sitting at 172.8

+ Watson (-0) and Gostkowski (-0) as TE/PK scores.

 

[ravnzfan]

129.65 + Watson

QB(Leinart/Warner/McNair) is a problem

Tiki, Roy Williams and Raven-D are not

let's hope we squeeze thru and fitz gets back on the field to help the kid

...go Ben!

 

[HALtheCOW]

I may be ok with only Alex Smith (4.5) as my QB this week with Delhomme on bye and Simms .

LT and Galloway may keep me in as I am at about 135.

I know many think that the cut will be low but I am sticking to my prediction that the cut will be between 120 and 130. The average cut (33%) line has been around 120. I know there were lots of byes but lots of big performers (even though moderately held).

I have never been this close to this kind of prize. I could actually make the finals

 

[Erin Go Bragh]

134 so far.

Manning -18.1

Wayne -11.6 or -11.9

Gabriel -11.6 or -11.9

Watson -0

I figure I can bank on something in the low to mid 140's at least.

This is the first week that Ahamn Green played and didn't count for me. FWP and Dunn this week.
