Week 5 Venting Thread (1 Viewer)

[delusional]

yea, now i decide to sit olsen

 

[nerangers]

My dynasty team week one had so much promise...now it looks like a M*A*S*H Unit

(we play 2 QB, 2 RB, 4 WR and a Flex)

Manning

Leinart - hurt

Losman - hurt

Warner

LT

Jackson - hurt

McAllister - Out

Norwood

Dunn

Driver

Harrison - hurt

Holmes - hurt

Branch - hurt

S Moss - hurt

Stallworth

We only allow one FA pickup a week...tough to field a team! Oh yeah, had Scobee too!

 

[fsufan]

my opponent left Mcnabb, Westy, Kurtis and Akers, all on a bye, in his starting line up but he still won

FF is nothing but good or bad luck

 

[Nathan R. Jessep]

I hate Desmond Clark...there, I said it. SOB's last minute TD cost me the win this week. That and Holmes sitting this one out, thanks for the advance notice!!!! What did he do, injure himself in a pre-game cartwheel??

 

[mcnabbmcnow]

Very annoyed. In a must win divisional game, I had Santonio Holmes starting, and he pulls a hammy in warmups. Coles was on my bench, and would have given me 8 pts. I still led by 13 points going into Sunday night, and I had Donald Lee, he had Olsen and Gould. Olsen and Gould go off in the second half, and now I am down 9 points tonight, with only Nick Folk to play. What are my chances? Lost would put me at 2-3 and 0-2 in the division, devastating. In a tiebreak, I would win.

 

[thatguythere]

i've got a nice big swift kick in the nuts to kitna and whoever's behind pulling FWP out inside the 5 yd line

Kitna, FWP, Morris, Henry, Roy, Branch Total of 12 pts....I see it turning into lineup hell with the feast or famine Lions.

 

[PatrickT]

I'm an idiot. I'm 0-4, hate Lendale White's matchup, but left Keith on my bench cause I couldn't confirm Addai being out in time and went with the safe choice.

You're 0-4 moron, roll the freakin' dice!

 

[JDub15]

yeah I feel all your guys pain:

S.Jax- Hurt

Westy - Hurt / Bye

McNabb - Terrible / Bye

Andre Johnson - Hurt

Duece - IR

Chad Johnson - Bye

Kitna was terrible this week, second straight week in a row that my quarterback got negative points! (McNabb last week) The only thing that made me feel remotely good about the week was starting KK against the Addai owner, but I still got pounded.

 

[chadjohnsonfan]

I would like to thank FBG's projections for this week's stellar performance. Here's my starting lineups, their projected points and then their actual points followed by the difference:

Matt Schaub - 18.4 - 8.6 - (9.8)

Larry Johnson - 23.7 - 4.0 - (19.7)

Brandon Marshall - 21.9 - 15.7 - (6.2)

Santonio Holmes - 21.3 - 0.0 - (21.3)

Marques Colston - 19.1 - 7.2 - (11.9)

Jason Witten - 18.1 - ???? Yet to play

Nick Folk - 9.2 - ???? Yet to play

Robert Mathis - 15.0 - 2.0 - (13.0)

Tamba Hali - 14.3 - 7.5 - (6.8)

Patrick Willis - 24.6 - 27.0 - 2.4 YAY, SOMEONE ACTUALLY MET EXPECTATIONS!!!

AJ Hawk - 24.5 - 14.5 - (10.0)

LaRon Landry - 19.3 - 4.5 - (14.8)

Sean Jones - 16.5 - 15.5 - (1.0)

Net difference between my team's starters and actual production so far (not including Witten & Folk) = 112.1 points.

Yeah, these guys know their stuff Now granted, the whole Santonio Holmes pre-game injury was not their fault, but even without that, that is a 90.8 point difference.

Now here's the real fun part....the guys I left on my bench because FBG's had them projected lower:

Jay Cutler - 17.2 - 9.6 - (7.6)

Maurice Jones-Drew - 14.7 - 21.9 - 7.2

Owen Daniels - 13.7 - 20.7 - 7.0

Jon Beason - 20.2 - 30.0 - 9.8

CC Brown - 16.0 - 24.8 - 8.8

If I play these guys instead of Schaub, LJ, Holmes, Hawk & Landry respectively, I have 75.4 more points.

Now here's the real vent of my post. I am about to lose to the worst player/biggest guppy in the league. He is 0-4. His first draft pick (startup dynasty) was Isaac Bruce. This week he STARTED Rod Smith. Those are just two examples of his inadequacies, but I don't want to take the time to lay out how much of a clueless individual this owner is.

I am currently down by 8.5 points with Witten & Folk to play, but he has Marion Barber going (his best player). A big game by Barber or a crappy one by Witten and I lose to this total ###-clown.

Thanks a bunch for the advice Footballguys!!!!!!!!! :middlefinger:

 

[Thunderchicken]

chadjohnsonfan,

Why do you play fantasy football if you are just going to let someone else decide your lineup? YOU are the GM, NOT fbg. Take some responsibility! FBG did not log in to your league page and set your lineup. There is no way to expect them to know MJD would break a long run this week after stinking it up all season. These guys do a phenomenal job, but no matter what, ultimately it is MY responsibility to set my own lineup and sink or swim by MY decisions.

BTW - I am not a subscriber, but have thought about it many times, and may try it. If/when I decide to pay for the premium stuff, I will always use my own "gut feelings" and research across the whole spectrum rather than blindly trusting someone else, even if they are the best.

Listen numbnuts...this is the VENTING THREAD. We come in here to vent...sometimes irrationally.Still, an underperformance by 9 out of 10 players makes me wonder what the heck I paid for. I count on FBG's knowledgeable staff to figure out the matchups and team situations so I don't have to sit at a computer for 30 hours prior to Sunday. I count on them for the tough decisions.

Do you not get upset at your lawyer for bad legal advice or at your broker for bad investment advice?

I pay these cats for their professional opinion and when they screw me this bad, I have a right to complain.

Go nag on someone else, please...I paid for my right to complain.

I realize this is a venting thread but I think most FF players would have played the offensive players you did. Footballguys staff can only predict. They can't control the games. I went into the year with, what I thought, was a fantastic WR corps of S. Smith (Car), Colston and Andre Johnson. I would think that any staff member here would have agreed. Well, one QB injury (Delhomme), one team collapse (NO) and one knee bruise later it has been a big disappointment. Could anyone predict these things?

How many times have we laughed at our opponents lineup only to see people on their team who you would never have on your team go off? It just happens. You may as well just get used to it. There is no perfect way to predict these things. Too many variables are involved.

At times I feel a little aggravated by posts similar to yours because it's obvious to me how much work and effort the staff put into this. Do Cecil and Pasquino ever sleep? Ultimately you are the one making your decisions.

Read my second post.In reality, the only players I really used FBG's to help me decide was Schaub vs. Cutler, MJD vs. Colston & CC Brown vs. Landry. In all three of these situations I picked the wrong guy (based on FBG advice) and it might cost me a win vs. the most inept owner I've ever been in a league with.

cjfan,

Would you have gone the other way with your lineup without the advice of fbg? I understand your frustration as I had Kitna, FWP, R.Williams, Welker, and LT in the lineup yesterday. I still have Evans to go and I may be right back in here later tonight if he lays another egg. I have also been ready to explode watching my preseason starting QB Leinart play like a panzy, and now he is out. BTW - This is in a contract league, where he is my most expensive player All I am trying to say is that there is a lot of blame being placed on fbg for things they cannot control. Injuries happen, bad games happen, etc...Venting is all Kool and the Gang, but I think it is taken a little too far at times, and it becomes too easy to blame the service rather than except that part of what keeps us coming back for more is that we hope to be on the giving end of the perfect storm, rather than the receiving end. I have had years where every week it seemed like some knucklehead would have every player he owned go nuts, and my studs would just flat out abandon me. Those years I must have said 100 times "I QUIT"! But, here I am, still glutton for punishment. It sucks, but no one can predict outcomes with complete accuracy, or even very consistently.

My original post (and this one) is not meant to attack you. I guess I am just venting about all the pointing fingers, especially the middle one.

Without the advice of FBG? I paid the membership so that I could rely on this from the draft to trades to setting my lineup.My entire team has been created and weekly lineups set with FBG's information. I am sitting at 1-3 and in serious jeopardy of losing to a guy who literally has a learning disability, drafted Isaac Bruce fifth overall, dropped Joey Galloway and started Rod Smith this week.I don't know what I would have done without FBG's because I've done everything with FBG's and my investment HAS NOT PAID OFF!!!I'm pissed and as a paid subscriber, I think I have a legitimate reason to be.

 

[ScoobyDoo]

I'm going 2-3 with footballguys and I didn't fall into any of the Running back traps in the first round (no LJ, or Jackson, or LT). What do you do?

I'm convinced that it's all luck. The people that used to win all the time preyed on folks who didn't have access to any information. Now if your league is on a site you can practically go autopilot with all the newsbreakers they have.

i've got a nice big swift kick in the nuts to kitna and whoever's behind pulling FWP out inside the 5 yd line

Kitna, FWP, Morris, Henry, Roy, Branch Total of 12 pts....I see it turning into lineup hell with the feast or famine Lions.

henry here as well. three weeks ago, i was ecstatic. now, not so much

It wouldn't be so funny except it is all 100% true.I can start to laugh now because Witten is doing great and Barber hasn't done anything yet, so it looks like I may get the win, yet.

 

[havox]

up by 5 going into tonight... i have TO going & he has folk.. now i'm losing by 3. awesome

 

[Newslang]

Romo, Tony QB DAL 67

Tomlinson, LaDainian RB SD 63

Morris, Sammy RB NE 17

Owens, Terrell WR DAL 39

Moss, Randy WR NE 42

Witten, Jason TE DAL 24

Carney, John K JAC 5

Ravens, DST DST BAL

This team scoring me 66 points in a pickem...

 

[broncofan13000]

need less than 5 yards from Barber to win

looks like i got it

 

[jamil]

and it finally happened to me

down by 20 with witten and crayton going tonight and he had folk...needless to say that 50 yarder made me lose by about 1

 

[Spartans Rule]

I had Tony Romo and a 7-point lead. Opponent had Jason Witten. Because Romo gets a good chunk of points every time Witten does, about the only way I could have possibly lost this game would've been for Romo to throw some ungodly number of interceptions...

 

[cantrell]

Thanks a lot Romo.

 

[slckrsmitty]

folk did a great job for me, but when he is the 2nd leading scorer on your team, you're in for a bad day

 

[ScoobyDoo]

No TD's this week.

Kitna

No TD's for two weeks.

TO

Roy Williams

Henry

Parker

You can't make it up.

Oh, and 2-3 record with more points for than against.

 

[WampusCat43]

Had TO and Crayton vs. Folk (so you know how this is going to end) in a PPR league. Down 12 points coming in. 3 1/2 hours of diddling around, last drive, very little chance to catch him.

But wait! Crayton catches that TD with 20 seconds to go to pull me within two. OK, get the 2-pt conversion (does that count as a catch?) and I either win outright or go to overtime. TO drops the ball.

But wait! Dallas recovers an onside kick. I still need two points to tie. Long one to TO puts me ahead! Run out, clock, run out! NOOooo...!

But wait! It's overturned! TO has dropped another one! 13 seconds left. Dumpoff to Barber (WHAT!) Gets OOB with 7 seconds left. I'm dead.

But wait! They try to get closer, and a short flip to Crayton gets me the 2 pts to tie it!

Surely this rookie kicker can't make one...now two...from 53 yards, can he?

 

[nycluvsdarams]

All I needed last night was TO to get 8 pts. 10 yds and a TD that's all I asked. But, Romo decides he doesn't remember how to play football. And TO decides to have brick hands for the second time this season.

My team was a huge group of studs until my RB's decided to smoke pot or sit on the bench. Laurence Maroney smoked my team last year, and he is not worth the first round pick I spent on him. T Henry is a stud, but who knows how long he can fight the suspension.

QB Jon Kitna, Det

RB Adrian Peterson, Min

RB/WR Travis Henry, Den

WR Terrell Owens, Dal

WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh, Cin

T Henry is a stud

A stud finds the end zone more than once in 5 weeks. Just saying.

I hear ya. But not many RB are scoring TD's this year. Only Addai and Brown have been consistently scoring TD's. It's a crazy year for the FF RB.

 

[stbugs]

OK, just a little vent, because I am still 4-1 in my main league, but 2 weeks ago I was 3-0 and easily ahead in total points (win $$$ based on total points and $$$ in playoffs). Then I pick up Jeff Reed at K and trade for TO. Well the past two weeks, I got 5 XPs and 0 FGs from the kicker who had 38 points in the first 3 weeks and TO has a grand total of 56 yards and 0 TDs. How is it possible for TO to have 5-56-0 in 2 games when Romo has 648 yards passing and 5 TDs in those same 2 games? GB Tom Brady and Romo for carrying my team while FWP, Bush, Colston, Ravens D, TO et al decided to sleep in. All I know is that I am sure I will get the best games from them this week when I play the last place team. That will be when I get the high score for my team, when I don't need it.

Kenton Keith and Najeh Davenport didn't have a problem doing it.

 

[MarcO]

I'm up 11.5 going into MNF and the team I am playing has Nick Folk going - I think it's a 70/30 chance I win... Folk gets a 47 yarder and an XP in the first half (5pts) - things are looking maybe 50-50 I get a win.

2nd half rolls around and Folk gets two more FGs in the 3rd qtr- maybe early in the 4th for his 2nd one. I'm up .5 points and the Bills are up by 8 with 9 minutes to go. Dallas picks off the Bills and brings it back to the Bills 20 - OK I'm sunk. They definitely kick the FG if they can't get the TD, and an XP beats me. 3rd down Romo gets picked off again and the Bills hold the ball for 3 or 4 minutes. OK now Dallas HAS to score a TD and go for 2 for the tie - I'm golden - no more Nick Folk - unless it goes into OT.

Cowboy go down and score the TD with 20 seconds to go - no xp they go for 2 - I'm hoping for no OT obviously - Dallas fails on the 2pt conversion (thanks TO!) - that's it - I win by .5 points...

A recovered on-side kick, a reviewed TO drop, two short uncovered dumpoffs to Barber to get out of bounds and the cowboys are in FG range again (if they had just made Barber work for the sideline on either of those two passes I get the win... he's completely UNCOVERED) - Of course Folk nails the kick -twice - I lose by 4.5 points on a 5 point FG. And just in case he missed the second time, the Bills jumped offsides to give him a third try if he needed it.

All this after losing by half a point in week 1 on a Darryl Jackson last minute out-route on MNF...

I played a guy this week who started Harrison and bolden because his other wr's were on a bye and Romo threw 5 picks and a fumble,, and I still friggen lose. My team has been scoring 130+ pts every week, but I had to pick this week to lay an egg thanks to Lee Evans, Holmes, Roy Williams, sjax being hurt, and AP being on a bye. Last week I lost 140- 138. And next week I have the steelers, Roy Williams, Edwards, Calvin , Holmes all on byes. My powerhouse team is about to be 2-5. Portis better explode this week.

I'm up 11.5 going into MNF and the team I am playing has Nick Folk going - I think it's a 70/30 chance I win... Folk gets a 47 yarder and an XP in the first half (5pts) - things are looking maybe 50-50 I get a win. 2nd half rolls around and Folk gets two more FGs in the 3rd qtr- maybe early in the 4th for his 2nd one. I'm up .5 points and the Bills are up by 8 with 9 minutes to go. Dallas picks off the Bills and brings it back to the Bills 20 - OK I'm sunk. They definitely kick the FG if they can't get the TD, and an XP beats me. 3rd down Romo gets picked off again and the Bills hold the ball for 3 or 4 minutes. OK now Dallas HAS to score a TD and go for 2 for the tie - I'm golden - no more Nick Folk - unless it goes into OT.

Wow, that sux. I don't feel so bad now.

No matter how well you prepare, a certain amount of luck is needed to succeed. I have the most total pts after 5 weeks and sit at 2-3, the bottom of my division. Lost twice with the 2nd most pts for the week. What can you do except lube it up for next weeks raping. It does suck to put a bunch of time into something that you have very little control over.

Dear Willis McGahee,I promise a monster will not eat you should you venture into the endzone

This is one of the funniest posts I have ever read. I have come back in to this thread just to get a good laugh a couple times tonight. (It reminds me of a book I read my kids called "There's a Monster at the End of this Book")

Bump

My vent is against everyone who comes on this thread and disagrees, argues with someone's post about their team. Whether or not it's rational this is the VENTING thread...

TO needed to give me one more catch for about 12 yards (1.7 pt play in our league)

Any catch for 12 yards...or a 2 pt conversion catch, for instance, would do it......

watched TO get face guarded/interfered with before getting the ball ripped out of his hands (guy who said TO dropped it above obviously wasn't paying attention)...ripped the win from my hands

watched the miracle onsite recovery and watched TO win it with a catch...and they spiked the ball with 1 sec....BALLGAME WHOO HOOO! But Wait. Ruling on the field overturned by replay. TO didn't make the tough catch (again, to call that a drop would be - wrong). On further review, you could clearly see my victory touch the ground and vanish...

Then had the pleasure of watching Folk kick two 50 yarders to win it....from my bench.

Lost by 1.7 and oh by the way - had cowboys D too - if they don't give up the kickoff return for TD, I win.

Fantasy Football is a very bad game. Very bad.

somehow reading these threads makes me feel better, even though I went 0-5 this week and only have a winning record in one league.

Homo... thanks for those 6 interceptions

Henry... put the bong down and do your job!

Colston... 31 yds... I hate you

Cotchery... 31 yds... I hate you too

Holmes... try stretching before the game!
