Week 16 Venting Thread (1 Viewer)

[Lascelle]

My sympathies go out to anyone who lost to a guy who had John Kuhn plugged into his lineup. How brutal that must be.

Incidentally, my 14-1 squad is in jeopardy. Down just over 11 points now with just a couple minutes left in the Packers-Giants game.

I own Vick. He owns Matt Ryan.

Hoping for a last minute score to Nicks to close the gap. He owns Manningham so a last minute score to him would be painful.

 

[urbanhack]

Thanks Knowshown! Thanks Fitz!!

 

[notdarkyet]

Benched ADP for Bradshaw, went to change it and missed the deadline by seconds. Benched Mike Thomas for Lance Moore right before the 1pm tip. Playing against Aaron Rodgers and the Giants apparently suck. Meh.

Oh, and he has Manningham. Super awesome.Well lets hope that Vick can pull off a miracle Tuesday night.

 

[brtdud7]

PPR 10 rush/rec yds per point. Had to sit Collie and Gates due to injury.

Dallas defense: 3 points. Dropped the Cardinals defense: 32 points (of course, i would have never started them) and Falcons

Started Rashad Jennings at RB. Got me 13 points. Eh. (To compare, Mendenhall got 20)

Boss at TE. 0 POINTS. useless

Started Moreno at flex over Webb, and James Jones. 6 points. Did he leave the game?

I need Roddy, Colston, and Akers to get me 40 points.

 

[Jagerbomber]

Between Andre Johnson's injury, Rivers' mediocre day and McFadden's craptastic day, my team ended up losing to a #8 seeded 6-7 team (who had Bowe and J Charles)

I need to drink.

 

[Instinctive]

That said, how come I can have more yardage from my players than every other player in existence and still never score a freakin touchdown? Even with Blount's 160 whatever yards, he doesnt get a freaking score. And then my opponent has guys like John Kuhn who get 30 yfs and THREE freakin touchdowns. WTF?!

 

[ScoobyDoo]

Somehow my opponent swapped out a player that he played this afternoon (Benn) for Harvin on Tuesday. After the game was over. That is utter and complete BS.

 

[badmojo1006]

Delayed Week 15 vent.

In my local league we play through Week 17 and we have fixed bonus yards. 15 points for 100 yards rushing.

I thought I had won last weekend. Rashad Mendenhall got exactly 100 yards which gave me a 5 point win in our Wild card game.

NFL takes away a yard and I lose the game! Grrrrrrr

And the commissioner allowed that? That is pure crap

Just looked at the log. Apparently it was swapped before gametime but the live scoring app did not register it. Sigh.

 

[Topes]

Started Rivers with Freeman burning it up on my bench.

Edit to add:

Freeman with his 5th TD today.

Can't kick yourself for that one. These things happen.

 

[VaTerp]

Going for my 5th title in 8 years in my main league and I'm going to lose to one of the perennial league doormats.

Thanks, Chris Johnson. Thanks, Antonio Gates. Thanks, Tolbert. Thanks to all of the injuries forcing me to play Tolbert and Hines freakin Ward. Thanks to the Miami D for that performance at home today.

 

[The Big Guy]

I would like to thank the NFL for moving the Philly game, so that AP can get healthier, Vick and DeSean Jackson can have decent weather and a nice clean field to play on so as to cost me winning my league and a fair amount of money. Just a load of nonsense to get another PM game on the TV and kowtow to the networks.

I don't ever want to hear the league waxing poetically over the Ice Bowl again.

 

[tigerz]

I chickened out 30 minutes before Cowboys Arizona game and started Kitna over Tebow. It would have been the difference between winning the superbowl and losing it. Never changing at the last minute ever again. There goes 200 bucks.

 

[Green94]

Started Boss over Gronk.... changed it at 1159.

I'm up by 4pts and he has Colston tomorrow night. My only hope is that Colston goes for 22 pts so that I don't have to look back at that mistake as the one that cost me the Championship.

 

[huntunc]

Going up against a team that slipped in the back door as the 8 seed and made it to the semifinals vs. my team this week. Has f-ing Josh Freeman, whom I dropped after week 1 when I picked up Orton as my backup.

Seriously, 5 TD's??? WTF???

I've still got a chance with Vick, McCoy and D. Jax going against P. Thomas and Maclin. Doesn't look good though.

 

[Avery]

Started Rivers with Freeman burning it up on my bench.

Edit to add:

Freeman with his 5th TD today.

Yeah, I know.Not questioning the lineup decision on this one, just hate to see potential winning lineup in my championship game on my bench.

 

[TheBigHouse]

A special F you to NoShow Moreno. And Jeff Fisher for having Chris Johnson pass protect all game long.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Let's hear it for the Cowboys defense.... who did very little wrong except allow one blown coverage bomb to get through.... whie Jon Kitna threw 2 TD's to the other team in the first half of the first quarter.

Should have been a huge route for the Cowboys' DST & Buehler.

Currently trailing by a mere 4.8.

SkrewU, Jon Kitna!

 

[sandlotshrink]

How can I love a game so much that continually frustrates the crap out of me.

Played against Rodgers, Charles, Bowe and GB D and Turner yet to play.

Actually Freeman was available on our waiver wire. You would figure on a must-win game the Chargers and Rivers would deliver. This was a joke. My only consolation is that I put my best team forward yesterday... they just didn't come through. Now I have the distinction of having the most runner-up finishes in our 8-year-old league (4). I'm changing my team's name to Born to Run(ner-up).

 

[ppierce]

Dropped Manningham 3 weeks ago after he laide 2 eggs with Nicks out. Opponent picked him up and started him. Stupid 85 yd td.

Lions score 34 points and CJ is on the bench with 52 yds??

Blount has a 2nd and goal opportunity from the 2 yd line, late in 4th with a huge lead and TB throws? Thats awful. Still a great game from Blount but that should of been his TD.

 

[Chief]

Gronk's 2 TDs may have sunk me this week. Go Vick, ADP, & D.JAX!

Let's turn this vent to a gloat!!

 

[Andrew74]

In one league I have MJD, Hillis, AJ, and Fitz. I haven't scored less than 100 points all year. I will be lucky to finish the week with 75.

My other league is the same story...topped the league in points and putting up a dog of a game.

0-2 sucks.

 

[Shadows]

[SieteCinco]

In one league I came into the playoffs as the #1 seed with both the most wins and leading total points. Have a bye week 14, then end up tying my week 15 matchup against the #4 seed. I was sure, as was everyone else I talked to that I would get the breaker - had the highest scoring player off the benches, highest total scoring from the benches, more wins, and 200 points more than he had scored throughout the year. We came up with all kinds of ideas as to what Yahoo would go with and every idea had me advancing.

Well, Yahoo ends up going with our win-loss record against each other in the regular season where we had only played each other once... which was week 7 - my lowest scoring total because I had nearly my entire starting lineup on a bye (Andre Johnson, Calvin Johnson, Pierre Garcon, Arian Foster, Jacob Tamme, Nick Folk... EVERYONE but my QB, RB2 and Defense)

So he advances to the championship game, I don't, and of course my team ends up scoring the highest amount of all 12 teams in the league this week. Although I still made $50 at the end of the day in this league, a +$1,050 would have been much better!

that sucks but googling Yahoo rules would have gotten your tour answer:How are ties during the playoffs broken?In the event that a playoff game ends in a tie, the deadlock is broken using the following system: 1. Winning percentage against this opponent during the regular season. 2. Playoff seed.

+1my opponent in the finals, the 6-7 6th seed, has AP (don't think he would have be able to play yesterday) and DeSean... and i won't know if i am drinking to celebrate or commiserate until Tuesday night. IMHO, moving the game to Tuesday is a bad precedent.

No, it wasn't that. It was the live scoring. It updated all day by itself but never updated the lineup.

[jtierney001]

Pre-game thoughts:

I should stick with Britt over Fitzgerald......nawwww, Fitz will get alot of yards because Skelton likes him and Dallas can't cover the pass. Switched to Fitz.

Rashad Jennings will be starting against the Redskins....this is a no-brainer put him in over banged up AP

Ahmad Bradshaw will probably fumble.......Better keep him in, the Giants are fighting for playoffs and he has been steady. AP won't do anything with Joe Webb. Keep him in.

After early games: Consider putting in AP over Bradshaw. Never bench AP.....nawwww stick with Bradshaw.

Now my only hope is for Drew Brees completely #### the bed (14 points or less in 6pt td league with 1 for every 25 passing.) Well, him and Percy Harvin, but come on. Harvin WILL #### the bed. I had such a splendid opportunity to win the championship and I coached myself out of it. I had even started Tebow and he did great.

WTF.

 

[jtierney001]

I hate this ####### hobby, I really do.............

Me too. I quit.

 

[jtierney001]

Looks like I'm taking 2nd place this year. Dammit, I could have used the 1st place $$$ too. At least I'm not getting zero.

I got exactly what I wanted 2 of the last three years...the top-seed getting knocked out in semi-finals and I play a team full of scrubs only to lose. Of course, had I played the top-seed I'd be losing by 70 points instead of having a slim slim hope. I guess it would suck more to be him. He has a 2 of the 3 top recievers and two top-five running backs and Tom Brady and Pats D and he will finish 3rd.

 

[johnnyboy8102]

Bears' D killed me.

I figured the Jets were playing poorly on Offense the past few weeks and they were playing IN Chicago.

The Result: Nearly 400 yards, 30+ points, and 0 sacks.

well, I know CBS does not update players on live scoring, so if someone started live scoring for the 1:00 games and some owner changed his line up for the 4:00 games, you wouldn't see the change..unless you reloaded the page.

I labored over whether to start Bears D or Cowboys D. I went with Cowboys. Answer: They both sucked.

 

[Clorox]

Thanks for not showing up, Marques Colston. Ouch. Add him to my list of disappointments this week...VJax, Fitz, CJ1K, Watson, Kitna, Bradshaw, Cooley, Moreno, San Diego D. Just an ugly championship week for me.

True, but going to need a big time rally and a TD to save the day.

Thank you turner and bryant for nothing. all i needed was 11 pts combined. thats it..

Ahh, I understand the Matty ICE nickname now.

Pulled off the victory since Colston sucked ### tonight. I suppose I should move this to the bragging thread.

Yeah..tonight made me think how the hell doesnt Meachem have better numbers this year, he looks great. And I think Colston only had 2 catches both of which were back to back basically. Im guessing the reasoning behind this was Dunta Robinson shadowing Colston most of the night.

 

[jtierney001]

I was praying for a game tying FG from Bryant, then an OT gamewinner. Then I could've won. Atlanta pooped themselves on O like I've never seen. Drew Brees put up a very beatable performance. So goes it. second place for me.

Fanball. Commissioners choice.

 

[Mr. Know-It-All]

Last night, team A is ahead by a mere 5.5 points. He has Chris Ivory and John Abraham in his lineup. Team B has Matt Bryant and Jonathan Vilma. No way in hell Team B loses, right? Wrong. So the championship team gets a combined zero points out of his rbs (Chris Johnson, Chris Ivory) and wins the titlte. Beautiful.

 

[FootballFreakX]

Marques <bleeping> Colston.............

You <bleep> cost me $1,500 last night. All I need was 4 <bleeping> points. A <bleeping> touchdown or 40 mother <bleeping> yards was all I needed. But nooooooooo. Your <bleeping><bleep> got 21 <bleeping> yards and 2 fantasy points....... that's 1 mother <bleeping> point from a tie and a SPLIT and 2 points from $1,500. ARE YOU <bleeping> kidding me.

You should send a thank you note to that <bleeping> left tackle who jumped off sides on the play that Colston caught a TD on. I'm still f'ing pissed about that. Oh, I had Matt Ryan too! Yay team!

 

[Dez]

I would like to thank the following players for killing my chances of winning the $10,000 WCOFF league.

I am currently still in the top 5 but will fall out of the top 10 most likely and not cash anything despite having a great team that took a dump at the worst possible time.

Rivers, McFadden, Lynch, Lance Moore and Vincent Jackson where in the heck were you guys this weekend ?

Had I just got 20 more pts total out of these fools I would have had a shot for $5,000 and 2nd place.

Instead I am likely not to even cash.

Also I would like to thank P-Thomas as I played him in week 15 and he got me 3 pts so I benched him for Lynch this week and he blows up for 23 pts on my bench.

And a special mention goes to my 1st round pick Randy Moss for his getting thrown out of the #1 offense in the league and turning a potential great season into a waste of a 1st round pick.
