Not true. The Oakland Raiders last AFC West win took place three years ago at Denver in the snow. Kerry Collins and Jerry Porter both had career games as the Denver DB's kept falling down in the snow.
where you fools at?
How did I know you'd bump your own thread. I never said Favre wasn't going to do well, though his 240/1 at the end of regulation wasn't exactly stellar 11 points in my league). He got an OT bomb to bump the stats. Only thing I said was that you were being an ### about it after whining about the Roth ranking the week before. It's called a prediction, not all of them are right and if it weren't for a last second FG he would've finished right in the middle of the pack, about where he was ranked. Being "right' about Favre was never an issue, just your incessant and abrasive attacks on the rankings. I hope you learned from your mistakes last week and went with your own instincts, like a big boy, and played Favre (over Roth?). Although with your little "bragging about nothing" post, I doubt it.
Did the Broncos win? I missed the game.
For what? I never said Favre wouldn't do well or that the ranking would prove accurate. Are they supposed to predict an 80 yard TD, in OT? If Denver wins the coin toss and kick a FG he finishes with 240ish and 1 TD. Would you be in here if he finished with that? BFD, they're not going to be right about ranks for all players or the course of all the games. All I said was (a)use your own judgement and don't be an ####### when you disagree with their rankings or when you're mad that you didn't follow your own instincts and try to blame someone else.Your'e calling me out twice for something that never even happened?
You're being a doosh of the highest order.
Sweeney, this guy isn't worth your time. I'm confident you won't sink to his level.
Are you new here? This isn't even CLOSE to being his dooshiest work.You're being a doosh of the highest order.
I can't speak for the threadstarter.I hope I don't come off as rude or obnoxious, please do not take offense.With that said, you guys were way off on Favre this week. The numbers show what the Denver Broncos were defensively- below average. Their OLBs are the worst in coverage in the league, and aside from Bailey, they have an good CB and the rest is trash. GB uses so much 5 WR that you know that 3rd CB is going to be on the field a lot- which is a huge advantage for GB in the passing game.Favre was a top-5 QB before the Washington game, and top-7 afterward. Why is a QB who has played that well so far this year, considered an average-play against a team that he schematically fits to dominate?Now to say that he was lucky to get that TD in overtime is doing a disservice. He played extremely well. They were on the goalline twice, and had some terrible play calling down there. 2 jumbo package runs that were stuffed- then 5 wide on both 3rd downs. Had they called playaction there, one of those trips would be a TD. So while you might say he had 1 of his 2 TDs in OT, he still played extremely well.
I highly doubt FBG factors the probability of OT into it's rankings. If you look at Favre's stats through 60 minutes, 248(?)/1TD, which is what they were ranking him on, that's 11 or so points in my league and doesn't put him in the top 10 or so in scoring. So at worst they were off by 6 spots on an early week ranking. Ooooh, big whoop. I'd like to see the OP's rankings, since he's so keen on patting himself on the back, and seeing how many times he was within 5 of all his rankings. Is FBG supposed to come out with a separate list for games that go into OT? That's why you use the rankings as a guide and use your head to make your decisions. The OP was mad at himself for not starting Roth the week before and wanted to bag on FBG for being wrong on predictions. Favre owners got a nice bonus today but as for their original predictions, it's not as far off as the OP would want us to believe. For 4 quarters the D held Favre to under 250/1 (79 of which was on one play), I think they did a pretty good job at ranking him. Can't predict lucky bounces or OT.
Please point out where I said Favre was lucky to get a TD. Or in fact made any comment about Favre's game tonight. This is the same problem the OP has, he's attributing things to me that I never said.
You are attributing Favre's output to the game going to OT, giving him one(1) additional pass attempt.
Actually everybody is, not just me. And that make FBG's rank of him playing a 60 minute game pretty close.
I think he did well the last 60 minutes.
Because I never said anything about Favre's ranking in the first place. I didn't think he was ranked 16, FBG did. I was tired of the OP whining about Roth's ranking last week (and his blind adherence to it that cost him a game and thus a lot of whining about FBG nbeing wrong) and him being an ### about the Favre ranking this week. I never once argued against Favre being ranked higher nor did I ever agree with the FBG rank.
well it sure seemed like it once you began to defend their rankings and how 'close' they were.
The OP came in here after the game calling me out like he was right and I was wrong even though I never said anything about how Favre was going to play. And all I am saying now is that the rank they assigned Favre for the game was a lot closer than Capt. Back Patter would like to believe, certainly not so off to be gloating and patting himself on the back for how much more "right" he was than FBG. And I dont like getting called out for stuff I never said so I defended my position.
you defended the position you were accused of. can you not see the irony here?
That's just incidental. If Favre had popped off 400/4 he'd say the same thing in the first post game post and I would too. That I never made a comment on how good or bad Favre would do so there is no reason to call me out.
You're the coolest guy on this board, it's a shame this is the last post of yours I read. Keep on keeping on. Lemme know when your reading comprehension approaches 5th grade level.
And you bump the Roth thread to tell me I blew it then too (which isn't true either, but that's not important right now)? What a child.
cool good for you...How many projections were they right on this week?? Also if you have such a problem with their rankings why do you pay for them? Joe has said many times that if you are not happy with the service they will refund your money.
I feel that I've more than gotten my money's worth with the pre-season content. The in-season rankins are, however, a bit of a disappointment. Do you realize that, at one point this week, they actually had Brett Favre rated as the 17th best QB for week 8?thayman said:
