Week 8 Venting Thread (1 Viewer)

[brainee]

Matched up against my brother. At QB, I have my 1st round pick going - Aaron Rodgers. He had Vick and Cutler both on bye, so he picked up Garrard at the last minute. Rodgers = 7 points; Garrard = 38 points. Sometimes this game really isn't fair.

I also have Zach Miller at TE. Dear Jason Campbell ... I hate you!

Rewind a week ago.....in one league, injuries and bye weeks forced my opponent to start Fitzpatrick and Heap. Fitzpatrick throws 4 TDs and Heap scores 2 TDs.

That can't happen again.....can't it??????????

This week.....due to bye weeks and injuries, my opponent had to start Garrard and Nate Washington. He got 63 points from both of those..........so the answer is.....yes it can!

Sometimes the ball just doesn't bounce your way.

Not starting MSW.

Right there with you, benched him in 2 leagues. Will only cost me victory in 1 luckily.

So my normal starting lineup (dynasty) was depleted with bye weeks and injuries....but so was my opponent.

He is the leader in my division and current top team in the league. I thought I had a chance. Projections (on average) came to about 250 pts for my team...which should be enough to win. This is an IDP league and we start 14.

But then, I start Jonathan Stewart over Mike Sims-Walker after DeAngelo is ruled out. Then my usually decent players in Mike Williams-Sea and Zach Miller do next to nothing. And finally, 3 of my 4 LB's (the backbone of my team) score 10 pts or less. 15 is an average game and 20 is good.

That means that out of 14 players, 5 of my better players laid absolute eggs. I only had 2 players over projections (Stafford & Desmond Bishop).

Meanwhile the crap team my opponent put out there got a nice pick 6 from one of his LB's and his only stud, Peterson, showed up big. I'm done with 202 and he has 228 with Pierre Garcon left to play.

I hate this crap. One week, I just need decent games out of my players and 4 of them put up their worst outing of the season. I need to make a heck of a run to even make our playoffs as a wild card now.

Lost by 2, thanks to Vinateri, could have started Blount over Beanie. i am now 2-6

 

[hoopvillian]

Schaub fumble just did me in.

 

[Bonka]

Amazing, lost by .2 to the team who had 4 out of 9 starters. Thank you Randy Moss.

[Rylenol]

Started Gonzo and lost by .06 points. 111.60 to 111.66.

1 pt from my kicker and I win.

Nick Folk owner? His miss gave me -1 instead of +4, and I lost by 3. AND my opponent fielded an almost perfect lineup (78.6 of a possible 78.8), while I had Brandon Tate on the bench.

Highest scoring player in my matchup this week was my opponent's kicker. I hate this game
