Week 9 - Venting Thread (1 Viewer)

[Nathan R. Jessep]

faced the following squad this week in my main money league (uber-high performance scoring dynasty league), of which I am the points leader:Carson PalmerM. LynchLee EvansJ GallowayD Dockett (2 sacks + 9 tackles)D Harris (20 friggin tackles )McIntosh (11 tackles + 1 sack)He has already demolished the all-time scoring record, and still has Matt Stover to go tonight. At least he didn't have ADP too!

MNF Update: Did I mention I have JAMES FRIGGIN' HARRISON WHO AT THE MOMENT IS GOING OFF!! 3 FF, 2 Sacks, 3 tackles, 1 INT, and 1 FR IN THE FIRST HALF... The FF gods are playing with my emotions... while I also have Polamalu (with a few tackles and a FF) and Heath Miller (1st drive TD), I have managed to cut the deficit in half, but I will need pretty much these same stats in the 2nd half to do any good...at least it's an exciting game (if you aren't a BAL fan, that is)

Lost by 0.7 in weeks 7 and 8. Looking to rebound my 2-6 team, I lost by one point in week nine. I had a 25 point lead and Ward going in to monday night and my opponnent had roethlisberger. I've lost the last 3 weeks by less than 3 points. You think your luck is bad?

Man ... my one team just got knocked from the ranks of the unbeaten in an incredibly sucky way. Leading by a point heading into the Monday night game, and feeling really confident. I had Santonio Holmes, Matt Stover, and Ray Lewis. He had Najeh Davenport and some linebacker I never heard of for the Steelers ... James Harrison. The guy only had 6 sacks, 1 INT, and no forced fumbles for his entire career (50 games) - Lewis should outscore him alone, and if Davenport doesn't get a vulture TD should be an easy win. Yeah, you know where this is going

From now on I'm always to think of his as James "F@#ing" Harrison. And he's probably going to go back to his normal "4 tackles and nothing else" games after this - with just this one game he got possessed by the skills of LT. Despite the big game by Holmes still lost. With the 2nd highest point total of the week (and way ahead of #3). And to rub salt in the wound, Yahoo Stattracker still had me winning by 5 points when I went to bed. Guess Harrison is so good he was making tackles and forcing fumbles even after the game was over

Crayton: 0 receptions. Opponent had Owens. Needless to say, I lost.

In my league with IDP, we give 4pts/sack, 4pts/fumble recovery, 2pts/forced fumble, 1pt/solo tackle and 0.5pts/assisted tackle. Going into MNF, the guy with James Harrison was down something like 30pts. With that scoring system I just explained, Harrison put up 38.5pts and won the game. The guy who ended up losing was shellshocked and knows how you feel.
