[ceisenhower66]

Had to pick three out of Wayne, Porter, Chambers, Burress, and Patten...picked the first three.Good move on Wayne Bad move picking Porter over Plax This might cost me in a tight matchup I have.Also, in another league, picked Stokley over Plax But GO STEELERS!!!!

 

[Workhorse]

That garbage turf in Pittsbugh just cost the Pats Ty Law for (most likely) the rest of the game.

Also in that same league with the WRs, benched Brees at the last minute for Collins

 

[OddibeMcD]

Drew Bennett, where did you go?

 

[Warhogs]

I want a turn. EVERY Week I have chosen wrong between Chris Brown and Thomas Jones (I also have Priest). With all the Chris Brown injury news I sat him and started Jones. Probably another week of starting the wrong one.

 

[ceisenhower66]

TWO TDs FOR PLAXXXXXX!!!!!

 

[Qballer]

Sat C. Brown just before kickoff, listened to all that injury talk. So I had a great day with Moore and Levens with Westbrook hurt and McAllister on bye.

Moore was higher on the cheatsheet today toh, and Mike Tice is a genius.

 

[kaso]

Bad move picking Porter over Plax This might cost me in a tight matchup I have.

I did the same in a TD league ... combine that with sitting McGahee over T. Jones... and it's a rough afternoon.

 

[Uncle Humuna]

I've now faced 5 teams that have had their highest scoring week of the year the week that they played me.I can handle having a crappy team.I HATE HAVING CRAPPY LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hear that! There have been 200 more points scored on my team than any other team in my league. Unbelievable.On the day I have a real shot I get 6 total points between Lefty and F. Taylor. Moving to 2-6. Time to go get drunk.

 

[ceisenhower66]

Why in the hizell was Kerry Collins rated so much higher than Drew Brees on the cheatsheets??? Man, Brees has 24 points already...Collins only 3. That is killing me...

 

[phrozen]

Moving to 2-6. Time to go get drunk.

Cheers

 

[cracKer]

started Lelie and Kevin Jones over Chris Brown in different leagues started Randy Moss over Peerless Price

 

[Sister Havana]

I am so glad I decided to start Corey Dillon over Chris Brown (and even Rudi Johnson, who had a TD) in one league. That was such a good idea. Starting Jake Plummer over Trent Green looks to be a fine decision too.

 

[my man otis]

I told myself last week to not start Randy Moss. Then - oh, he's probable - oh, 25-30 snaps - oh, yeah right.Probably cost me the game unless Curtis does very well tomorrow night.On the bench - Gonzo.

 

[ceisenhower66]

*Covering my eyes* 5 TDs for Brees...over 40 points, whereas Collins has 4. Please put Rivers in just to spare me.

 

[Jayrok]

The good news: Stuck in Vick for Rattay and C. Brown back in 5 minutes before the first game.. The bad news: I have all minn RBs.. what to do...

 

[phrozen]

####### Putzier3 Weeks ago I start him and he gets a goose egg2 Weeks ago I bench him and he gets 52 yards and a TD and Chris Baker who I started lays the goose egg.1 Week ago I start him and he lays the goose eggThis week I bench him and gets a 38 yard reception while Kyle Brady who I started laid a goose egg.

 

[Leviathan]

So the Cardinals get blasted. Aren't you supposed to air it our when you're getting killed? Didn't see the game, but I don't think that Fitzgerald even had a single reception!! Michael Lewis is on a bye this week. This guy's isn't even a starting WR and he consistently outscores Fitz. Sorry, Larry; your ### rides the pine for the rest of the year.

I'll drink to that!

 

[Judge Smails]

Just an incredible day. All of the above, then Colbert gets a 63 yard bomb, loses his footing on the 2 freakin' yard line in a bonus distance TD league. Few seconds later, Brady to Givens in a 2nd double dip TD against me (nice prevent defense, Steelers) and I'm toast.Summarize - Warner 3 passes to the 1 and no TD'sWarner TD pass to Toomer called backPortis 43 yard TD reception called back on phantom callLovely, lovely day..

 

[Al Davis]

Starting Jake Plummer over Trent Green looks to be a fine decision too.

Yes it is.

 

[Sister Havana]

Starting Jake Plummer over Trent Green looks to be a fine decision too.

Okay, maybe I take that part back.

 

[thecoolnamesarealltaken]

OK, I started CBrown, Ahman Green, Pit D, and Antonio Gates. I scored 123 points with Chris Chambers still to go. I'm almost assured of having at least the 2nd best score in our 14-team league. Trouble is, my opponent started Tiki, Priest, Jimmy Smith, and Reggie Wayne. He has 118 points, and he still has Pennington, Curtis Martin, and the Jets D. #### head to head scoring systems!!!!!!!

 

[hammerva]

Starting Vinny Testaverde over Drew Brees (28 point difference) Starting Morten Andersen over David Akers (14 point difference) Gee wonder why I am down by 64 points.

 

[Tom Servo]

My wife and I are currently tied at 53. If Barlow and Lloyd don't outscore Pennington and Bobby Wade, I will lose to her for the first time in 14 games against her since she started playing FF 8 or 9 years ago. Upside is that, regardless of the outcome, I'm still sleeping with the world's most beautiful woman!!

 

[Wingnut]

Im gonna throw up for 3 days straight at my coaching decisions.

[ceisenhower66]

I'm hijacking this thread and turning it into the official "I hate Kevan Barlow and he sucks, and I don't know why I start him every week...he11 I might as well start Bam Morris" thread.

 

[Portis 26]

I'm hijacking this thread and turning it into the official "I hate Kevan Barlow and he sucks, and I don't know why I start him every week...he11 I might as well start Bam Morris" thread.

Barlow is HORRIBLE, all he's doing is running into his own line on every play for a loss of -1 yard every time.

 

[GoFishTN]

QBBC is killing me. I've started the wrong guy every week except twice. This week Lefty put up a nice big 0 for me. On the bright side, the hated Patriots lost! :stillers:

 

[Broncofan]

I sat C Brown. Played Reuben, DD and T Jones instead. My opponent: Brees, Alexander, Pollard, KEVIN Johnson.SONOFA#####!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I drop in the rankings, he heads up, playoffs looking unlikely.

 

[MutantEnemies]

F Taylor & T Jones in 1 league. C Dillon & K Barlow in another. (Luckily, I was able to plug K Faulk in for Dillon)Edit, oh what the heck, I may as well mention that in league one I am going to lose the guy who started McGahee. And I'm the guy with Henry.And a Pats Homer.Thank you for your attention.

 

[reg]

So far it looks like I shoulda started Plummer instead of Byron. First week I decide to switch it up and this is what I get. :(

At least the rest of my team carried me.

 

[Phlash]

Starters:QB:Jake Delhomme ( :( )RB:Rueben Droughns ( )Corey Dillon ( )WR:Randy Moss ( )Amani Toomer ( :X )TE:Antonio Gates ( )Other than Antonio Gates... my starters blew it horribly.

[Val Rannous]

I'll probably get mocked for complaining about this, but darnit, had I started the right players I could have moved into second place all time on the single game scoring record in my 17 year old keeper league. It's been 15 years since a team in our league broke 160 points in a single game, I'm at 148 with Ahman Green and Reggie Wayne on my bench. Wah! Wah! I also dropped the Steelers this week and picked up the Cardinals D. Wah! So instead of blasting my most hated rival with a 178 - 87 point game, I'll just have to deal with moving to 7-1 and putting some serious distance on him in my division. Oh, but what could have been.Starting Lineup this week ManningS AlexanderR DroughnsM HarrisonD JacksonT GonzalezA VinateriCardinals

screw you pal.

 

[cheese]

Unless he gets another grab late (very possible) I will lose this week because of Lloyds catch being overturned Man that would make for an entire week of needing a vent thread.

[Miggity]

Traded Plummer and Rod Gardner for Leftwich and Shockey this week.Plummer/Gardner 80 ptsLeftwich/Shockey 29 ptsBenched Rod Smith for the first time all year.

 

[H-Town Rookie]

one league get the donuts from Fragile Fred and Corey Dillon (F***ing Belechick)another league need 6 pts from T. Jones to win (Having A. Green on my bencg with 22+) and he gets a damn hangnail and can't freaking play...yet another league bench Vick and Price (you know vaunted Denver D at home), luckily didn't cost me the win though. Played C. Brown though and it turned out okay.And at least I didn't get caught in the Moss trap this week and play him again. Tice and Belechick should both be fired!ROOK

 

[ScoobyDoo]

Now Rice is hurt.Here are receivers I have had:Kennison - hurtGalloway - hurtR. Moss - hurtJ. Rice (Pick up for plug in for Moss injury) - hurtThat's four receivers banged up. Receivers generally don't get hurt that much.
