It's very close this year would you all agree?

Also looking at drafted players versus highest scoring players, next year rankings can go to shit haha. I'm picking up who I think will do awesome. I'm getting a better grasp on things as years pass by. I'll be a star soon

Damn, Ben. Losing by only 1.14 points. Plus I just noticed you were the one who had Ben Roth. Can't believe you didn't play him this week.

A) Based on last weeks performance.
2) Because you're old enough to know the whole West Coast traveling to East Coast stats, as well as the fact that it has been ages since that west coast team came to Miami and won. It just doesn't happen.
r) And the best reason of all. You're name is fn' Ben. Represent.

The whole media frenzy was barking about avoiding Rivers this week. I wouldn't really blame you for not listening if you didn't have Big Ben sitting on your bench, scoring more points from said bench than my whole live team.

And yeah, how the hell do you not start Big Ben after last week? He should be the guy from here on out!

Because apparently i'm taking stupid pills.

But fuck me, seriously, all Rivers had to do was not score negative points. Or even just score negative 2 points.

But thats the way it goes.

Yeah, Rivers fucked me over in another league as well. I'm in 3 leagues and I'm 3-5 in all of them.

[Shinrei]

Join next year!

We've got a super logjam at 4-5 going. Getting into the postseason is going to be interesting.

The whole table is going to shuffle around. Who will be bottom? Not me thank God ha ha. What position do we need to be in to reach play offs? 8th?

Meh, high ranked players are ranked that way because expectations are the highest. The problem is that the expectations are based on past performances and a huge set of variables, as everyone in the NFL depends on other people.

The failures of round 1-2 players is mostly due to through injuries and/or off-the-field issues. Some had a slump (Charles, McCoy, Lacy most notably) but they seem okay-ish now. I'd say there's only 4 thoroughly disappointing field performances so far this season out of 24 picks (Montee Ball, Brandon Marshall, Julio Jones and Zac Stacy). Round 3 does deliver for half of the players drafted in it (Brown, Morris, Jeffery, Gronk, Foles, Cobb and Ellington).

Round 4, 5, 6 have a much higher fail-on-the-field percentage, 7 I really wouldn't know (although having Romo wouldn't hurt and Jackson was good for a month).
8 has Watkins, Sanders and Golden Tate as major performers, everything else is a bit meh.
9 has only Rivers, and from there on to the point where everyone gets their kickers, it is only 2-3 players who are really, really good (Kelvin Benjamin, Roethlisberger, Ingram), sometimes decent (Hill, Tannehill, DeAndre Hopkins) but mostly guys you'd rather not have there, but have to make do with. All those guys were and are still a roll of the dice: no-one would have known fourth string running back Oliver was going to be the Chargers entire run-game for over a month, for example.

another loss for you then unless you sub them out

(rubs hands gleefully as I will take them off you!)

[Slow Ben]

Well, the choice is between Alfred Blue and Andre Johnson.


With as slim as the RB position is, Foster being banged up, and Johnson underperforming all year? Gotta go with Johnson.

Orange and Black, you suck! Beating me to the Dolphins DEF on the waiver wire!

I really want to beat Brujah this week. I won't find out until Tuesday morning though. Unless the rest of my side have a bad week. I am due a 100+ point week. I have hardly had any this season so far.

I'm slowly pulling myself back into the playoff hunt. Had a horrible start to the season and now I'm a few wins and a few loses by others of sneaking into the playoffs. Considering I was in 12 place in week 3 that is a minor miracle in an of itself.

I'm watching Cowboys Jaguars live!

42 points from Mccoy and Sproles? No fucking chance!

Arizona Cardinals have won 8 and lost 1 which is basically the best record in the NFL this season. I just looked at their team to see who is scoring the most FF points. How is that possible? The two QB's together have around 140 points, Luck on his own has 280 points. Just to "compare". How can they have one of the best records if they haven't go any decent players that score decent points? You'd think a team that has won 8 out 9 games will have netter points than what they have.

Long story short....They have a good defense that creates turnovers.

And their coach is a genius.

I'm soooo close to getting back to a .500 record. Carolina score points, don't turn the ball over and don't let Maclin go off and I have a good shot at it. It definitely helped that Aaron Rodgers went off.

I'm a Bears fan and playing you. Rodgers performance yesterday was depressing all around.

Well thanks to Carolina's epic fail you stole the win away from me. 31 points by Philly D. Seriously?! How is that possible? I need to look at the scoring but they only got one TD, that is 7. 9 Sacks that puts it at 16. 3 turnovers at 2pts each that's 22. So where did the other 9 points come from?




Edit:



5 turnover Carolina. 5!!!!!!

And a Special Teams touchdown on top of it all. Unbelievable.

What is a "special team"?

I looked at that yesterday and thought you'd won it.
