It's time for Fantasy Football (NFL) POTN style!

Weird fantasy year to say the least.

But, I am 3-2 and traded away Delhomme a few weeks back - so not all bad!
Yeah except you traded him to me. :evil: That is Ok though, Rivers hasn't been great and Berrian has stunk.
This year is so weird that I still don't know what I am doing. Usually by the second or third week I have nailed down my starting team and have backups i place for bye weeks. This year I have no clue who to start, who to pickup, and who to drop. This is by far the worst year I have had yet. I am only above 500 in one out of 4 leagues. Oh well, there is always next year. ;)

[mdm]

I've got a QB up for trade for a RB. Garret. My RB's keep getting hurt. This is not good.

Who the heck is Garret? :confused:

EDIT: Do you mean Garrard? Of the Jags?

[bauerman]

You are going to have to put something more palatable out there to get a decent running back. Your backup QB probably wont generate much interest - especially with all the points the Jags are not scoring.

[bauerman]

Rivers had a GREAT game for me last week - 3 TD's total and a nice amount of yards! Thanks!

His first one all year. Besides, I was able to pick up Eli Manning and Kurt Warner from waivers, so I will be fine.

If by "fine" you mean inconsistent - I agree. :D

[mdm]

David Garrard of the Jaguars. I figured that about getting a good rb. Thought I'd try.

[mdm]

All my good guys keep getting hurt. Vince young hasn't done anything for me in the last couple of games. I dumped em.

[mdm]

I've changed QBs so many times I can't remember who I have.

[bauerman]

The number one fantasy player so far this year - Peyton Manning? Ladanian Tomlinson? Larry Johnson?

Try Tom Brady by leaps and bounds. Whoever drafted him - nicely done!

[In2Photos]

This year has been so weird. As soon as I think I have it figured out, something changes. In my 4 leagues I only have 1 above .500. But there is still time. And in the playoffs, anything can happen.

[In2Photos]

Woooohoooooo!!!!!

I just scored tickets to the Panthers/Colts game this weekend. :D FREEEEEEEE!!!!!

I am going to see Peyton. Who cares about the Panthers this week? :p

[breal101]

That's the spirit Mike. Have fun! I think I might have a shot at next years first draft choice, oh yeah doesn't work that way in fantasy football. Darn. At least I'm still having a good time and still trying.

[bauerman]

I am going to see Peyton. Who cares about the Panthers this week? :p

Good point - now if we could all get tickets to the upcoming Patriots/Colts game - we would all be happy campers!

I wonder what scalpers are getting for those tickets. As much as SB tix?

[mdm]

I knew New Orleans would have a breakout game.

[breal101]

:):)

My fantasy team had one too, whoopee.

[Captain Mantastic]

my fantasy team is well.... let's just say about all they can do is beat up on a little herd o' corgis.... poor puppies... i just can't get any of my lazy sacks of nikon to go out and play. bears defense is horrible...palmer is so-so, my RB and receivers don't know where the end zone is...

[In2Photos]

Did you think you would be saying this at the beginning of this season? I sure didn't!

[Captain Mantastic]

no. not at all. but in my typical fantasy football fashion it was bound to happen. all my people get hurt, or just plain suck year in and year out. at least this one didn't cost me anything (well besides the $1000's of dollar in camera gear)

[mdm]

NO NO NO Brett Farve stop. I could have had a tie and when it went into ot I was hoping for a interception. I know his Monday night record and wasn't surprised to see him launch a bomb and get the winning touchdown. Good going all.

[ebon_wing]

ohhh i hope you guys do this again next year! i'd like to join.

[PhatPhoto]

I just got blown out again, football has just had to many injurys.
Of course unless you have New England or Indy for most of your team.
Hey I am only 2 out of 1st place in the West so look out !!

[breal101]

I finally made it out of the league cellar, those corgis were getting on my nerves. I was almost out of milk bones so it came just in time.:)

[In2Photos]

My team is finally starting to produce a little, but each week there seems to be one or two on the bench that do way better than my starters. I am only 1 game back now in my division. :)

[Captain Mantastic]

my question is... how come i am the #1 ranked coach? how does that work? i am only .500 is it because of the people i pick to start out of my team or what?

[In2Photos]

my question is... how come i am the #1 ranked coach? how does that work? i am only .500 is it because of the people i pick to start out of my team or what?
That is based on how well you pick your starters. It is a ratio based on whether or not your starter gets more points than the guys on your bench for each position.

[Captain Mantastic]

oh ok thanks... well i guess that just goes to show how bad my bench is... argh!

[In2Photos]

Man, I just pulled one out of nowhere last night. I was down pretty bad with only the Chargers DST left to play to team TS/E. The Chargers played a great game D wise and I was up with only a few minutes left in the 4th qtr. Then Rivers had to fumble in the end zone which put me behind again. :evil: I was down by 1 point and thought it was over, but Manning 6th, yes that is right, 6th pick of the day gave me a one point win. :eek:

[mdm]

Man it's bad for me. Even my Indy kicker screwed up. :cry::cry:

[mdm]

Good going Moot_Point. You slaughtered me and your Seatle defense wiped the floor with me.

[Captain Mantastic]

i just wish i was in one of the other divisions... i am .500 and have more points than a bunch of teams... so sad...

[breal101]

And you had to remind me:) What does it take to win a game? Last week I scored more points than any other team but my opponents.:o

[In2Photos]

And you had to remind me:) What does it take to win a game? Last week I scored more points than any other team but my opponents.:o
That is the luck of the draw this year it seems. In previous years th eteam with the best record was always the dominant team, outscoring every opponent by a large margain. This year it seems that every week every team has a chance, even ones starting people on bye weeks in some of my leagues. :( When your QB gets hurt, your DST gets 28 put on them by Cleveland :eek:, and your RBs take the day off you can lose to some pretty bad teams, which I did in my other league.

[mdm]

(Boozers) What a rollercoaster ride. I thought I was done in by T.O. of Dallas. R Moss has a big game later that night. Down to the defense teams of the Titans and the Broncos on Monday night. The Titans were terrible. It came out real close. If there was more time V. Y. would have done me in with a interception.

[In2Photos]

I lost my game by 1 stinking point! I thought had it this game wrapped up until Brady racks up 44 points and then Brandon Marshall was allowed to walk in last night. Unbelievable! This season just keeps me guessing. The lack of consistency in so many players is unreal.

[breal101]

Mike, I guess you know how I felt last week. It really doesn't make me feel good you lost though, it really sucks to have that happen. I won one for the gipper I guess despite the Saints looking like Little Sisters of the Poor. Pats D pulled it out for me.

That's a bitter pill to swallow. 1 point.

[dave_borg98]

That's a bitter pill to swallow. 1 point.

That would be rough.

I cannot complain about anything but that is because I am in 1st place. Not to toot my own horn :cool: or anything. It has been a crazy season though. I would not have thought most of what has happened would.

[In2Photos]

That's a bitter pill to swallow. 1 point.
Gulp! :p Hopefully this week will not be similar.

Don't forget to have your teams set today. 3 games with lots of fantasy players involved.

[breal101]

My team has a day just for them, Turkey Day. They will celebrate by getting cooked like most turkeys today.

[mdm]

I see some close ones again. Good going everyone.

[In2Photos]

I just thought I would post the standings after the regular season. Congrats to those of you that made the playoffs in this wierd year of fantasy football. I only made the playoffs in 1 of my 4 teams, my worst year playing.

227870

[dave_borg98]

This has been a VERY strange season. Congratulations to those that have moved on and thanks for a good season for those that didn't. I've had fun so far with this league. Now.....to the playoffs.

[mdm]

It's been fun. I've had so many different players come and go I get confused on who is on my team unless I'm sitting down and reading the roster. Kinda like my great find of the year with Ricky Williams. I thought I was going to be unstoppable with that clever move. I think next year should draw more interest so count me in for the 08/09 season as well.

[dave_borg98]

Make that a 2nd for the 08/09 season.

[PhatPhoto]

Yeah, I guess strange would be the only word on the season.
Well anyone playing my for the rest of the year should have no problem winning I have no QB.
Ohh well better luck next year.
Congrats to everyone that did make the playoffs !
Or maybe good luck would be better.

[Captain Mantastic]

i'm in for 08/09 as well

[PhatPhoto]

I am in for next year as well

[In2Photos]

Congrats to buzzed and mdm on reaching the "Superbowl" of our fantasy league. Good luck!

[In2Photos]

Earlier this year I shared with everyone how I lost by one point in a game. Well it got worse this past weekend. In the only league I made the playoffs it happened again, only this time it was truely heartbraking.

One of my leagues has a 2 round, 4 week playoff. The tops four teams make the playoffs and we were all 9-4! I was the third seed based on tiebreakers and was playing a team that beat me earlier this season. The first week I was beat 141-130 so I had to make up those 11 points this week. By the end of Sunday's games I was up by 6 points for both weeks (so I had made up 17 points) and the team I was playing had the Vikings DST left to play (ranked number 1 of course). I didn't have much faith.

Well, I checked the scoring about halfway through the third quarter and I was ahead by 1 point total. All the Bears had to do was not allow a sack, interception, or fumble. Flipping back and forth between a few channels and there is now only 1:40 left in the game and I am still winning. Again, no sacks, no interceptions, or fumbles allowed. The Bears are down by 7 and are driving. Kyle Orton drops back to pass, has Bernard Berrian WIDE OPEN near the end zone and throws behind him. PICKED OFF and my playoffs are over as well. I lost by 1 friggin' point in a 2 week playoff game. :evil:

Oh well, you can't win em all. :)

PS, we will definitely play again next year.

[mdm]

Congrats to buzzed and mdm on reaching the "Superbowl" of our fantasy league. Good luck!


Thanks. It's been fun and really the standings were so close anything could have happened. I look forward to the next season.

[In2Photos]

Congrats to mdm (Team Boozers) on winning it all this year!

I look forward to playing again with you all next year if everyone is interested. If so does everyone want me to start the league again or does someone else want to do it?

[dave_borg98]

I think you did a killer job on managing the league. My vote is for you to do it again. Again, count me in for next year.

[mdm]

Thanks Mike. Count me in for next year.

[buzzed]

Congrats to mdm for winning the championship! Great job to Mike too for organizing/managing the league! I had a lot of fun and am definitely in for next year.

I know the rest of the country doesn't want to hear this but "GO PATS!!!

[Harleypugs]

Man...can't believe, after playing all season, I just found this thread again.

It was a hoot. My team ruled Power wise....

Count me in as well.

Jon

GO COLTS!!!!!

[AngryCorgi]

Hey people, NFL draft day is less than 3 weeks out! Is anybody else excited about the next NFL season, or is it just me!?

I start thinking about FFL about this time of the year, and I was interested to know if anyone has discussed another POTN FFL league for this year? I'm really curious to see if those who played last year would be interested in migrating the FFL activity to yahoo. I use stat tracker there which makes it a lot easier to manage and really participate in the league(s) I'm involved in.

So what is everyone's take on that!? ;)

BTW, I'm looking to get some honor back from the horrible performance of my last FFL team (Herd~O~Corgis) last year...the shame must end!!!

:confused::mad::eek:;)

[AngryCorgi]

Oh, I forgot to ask...is anybody interested in a keeper league?

[PhatPhoto]

I'm in.
Smell of beer and chips in the air, need to clean my jeresy and get a bigger flat screen. Goverment money is coming soon.
Football !
GO BEARS !!!

[In2Photos]

I am stoked as well. In fact I just bought a new 46 inch Toshiba LCD for football (and all the other stuff :lol:).

I am going to check around a few sites like NFL, Yahoo, and possibly any others to see if one is better than the other. NFL.com does a great job but we might move elsewhere if nobody seems to mind.

Thanks for looking into it. Regardless of who you pick for hosting, we all appreciate you doing a great job with the responsibilities inherent in being the commish last year and look forward to your sacrifice and leadership in that role again!

[Eric&Susan]

I would like to join.

I've played for the last 6 years on NFL.com. This year I also had a team on Yahoo. While I liked the Yahoo format, I didn't like the fact that you have to pay for live scoring and stat tracker info. Nothing like calling up the guy who's ass your kicking that week only to hear "I was to cheap to pay for the live scoring so I have no idea what's going on." Really puts a damper on your crap talking.:lol::p

The Yahoo fee is only $10 so no big deal just thought I would throw that out there.

Whatever site you end up going with let me know and I will play. Also if it comes down to it and we need somebody else my wife likes to play also. She usally only plays one team but I could talk her into another if we are short players.

The $10 is the group rate, right? I pay for unlimited use and I think its a little higher as a stand-alone option. The stat-tracker is the best I have seen for quickly managing multiple teams in multiple leagues.

I don't want to suggest moving to yahoo if its going to cost a lot of people extra, though. I definitely don't want to thin the attendance for one little aesthetic advantage. ;)

[Eric&Susan]

I payed $9.95 for just my team. I didn't see an option for a group rate. I played with some guys I play poker with and about half were to cheap to pay the $10 to get the live stat tracker. You can still play without playing you just have to wait until Monday morning to see your Sunday stats, no pay no live scoring.

[AngryCorgi]

Any news? Anybody?? ;)

To get your ready for the 2008/09 football season...

...Just stop trying to make it rain, Pacman.

[Eric&Susan]

Just got an email the other day saying that the NFL.com fantasy site is open for signups. It's still pretty early but we could create a league with a draft date closer to the opening of the season.

Yup, I got it too. I will likely do something soon, but we are still almost 3 months away. :( I am so ready for football to start!

[AngryCorgi]

Well, at least I will see most of my team's camp on hard knocks this year! WOOHOO...

And it should be good with the new PacMan drama and the shunning of Roy Williams. ;)

Big talk for someone in the Carolinas. :lol:

If the 'pokes don't get to the 'ship this year, I'm totally disappointed! :(

At least we have won a playoff game in the last 10 years. ;) The local radio station keeps count of the number of days since the 'boys last won a playoff game. Up over 4000 days now. :)
