When you would have lost regardless of lineup, feel better or worse? (1 Viewer)

[Frank Black]

Preamble: I realize that a loss is a loss, and that there is virtually nothing that could make you feel GOOD about the loss. This poll is not about feeling good about a loss.

When a game is close, many of us think, I could have . . . I should have . . . . However, sometimes, a FF game is such a blowout that it really didn't matter who you or your opponent put in the lineup (except for deep bench players). You were going to lose no matter what coaching decisions you made.

Does losing like this make you feel better because you didn't lose because of your own coaching decisions, or not? Or do you feel worse about your whole team?

I would like to think that I have good enough players on my roster - somewhere. At least then I can maybe get it right next week. If my entire roster is bad - there is no hope.

I sometimes remind myself during very close games that it's just luck... A yard here or there either way would have won it. Nothing I can do...

Sometimes you run into a hot team. For me last week, I was up against a guy with Palmer and Housh, among others, and he was the high scorer for the week. I still racked up a lot of points, and feel that a lot of WR's are on FIRE right now. When they come back to reality, I should be fine. Or at least that's the thought that allows me to go to sleep at night...

If it happens once or twice, what can you do? Sometimes, it just isn't your week. There is more luck involved in this than most of us care to admit.

When it happens a few weeks in a row, and it becomes clear that I drafted a crappy team (hey, it happens), that is when it really gets to me.
