Originally posted by Shadrach:Thank you. I was helped by S-Jax's 5 minutes of playing time, along with Lee Evans & Reggie Brown finally doing something. And like you said, you had a lot of headwinds this week. Bye weeks for 3 of your starters. Plaxico, having an excellent season, was hurt by having to play in the River Thames floodplain. And 2 of your players goose-egged, one on an injury (I know that feeling…Kurt Warner, Week 6). Nevertheless, knocking off the last undefeated team is probably the highlight of my fantasy season :)
Originally posted by Shadrach:Well my luck finally ran out. A combination of bye weeks, injuries and lack of consistant QB play have caused my first loss of the season. Congrats Carls!
Another week and another lucky win. If I would have played any other winning team this week I would have lost.
I'd say given the current situation you would have to like The White Stripes as the favorite to win this league. Brady is on an absolute tear and once Addai is healthy him and Peterson will pack a serious 1-2 punch at RB.
This loss combined with my point total means I will drop into second place : (
fantasy football: a league of our own
Originally posted by Brian Wallace:well i think special teams scores should go in defense too but oh well.
P.S. I think if anyone on your defense scores in an offensive capacity, the defense should get those points. Rainbows and Unicorns should have six more points. Rainbows and Unicorns has the New England defense. Mike Vrabel is on the New England defense. Mike Vrabel scored a touchdown.
6 points would not have made a difference for me. i had a really good week this week, but i got outplayed because of new england running up the score and my opponent having brady/welker.
if my team performs as well as this week, i'll be in good shape when the playoffs start.

well, either way, i'll still be ok. no way i'll win, but if i'm in the top half after starting off so badly, i'll be happy.
Damnit, sweetcell. A tie??? Gah, if only I'd played S-Jax.
Wanna break the tie in real life? Arm wrestling? Dance-off? Spelling bee?

agreed: A TIE?!? there are no ties in the NFL!!! they should institute a tie-breaker, like who has the hottest cheerleaders. i'm definitely down for the arm-wrestling, and dance-off would be embarrassing for both of us but i'd still win. spelling bee not so much, i never had to do those as a kid so i suck at spelling out loud (and, as my posts here prove, spelling in general).
dhino, you're lucky that i didn't have time to take Sidney Rice out of my line-up and swap him out with someone - anyone - else who could have scrounged up one measily point… or if i had started young instead of hasselbeck, as i considered doing…. lucky, i tell ya.

Congrats Rainbows and Unicorns I'm sure you won this week because my QB was wearing his winter coat for most of the game. :-(

Eli is just the wrong Manning to have in fantasy. Yuck.
The good news is that I still have a chance with my one player tonight and only an 8 point deficit.
Fingers crossed.

I'm down 7 with Heath Miller going tonight. I can't think of anything worse than needing a measely 7 but only having the TE to do it.
i'm going to lose this week in another league mainly because my te sucks :(
