damnit, I didn't realize just how prescient I would be during the draft when I mentioned that with the Nats up 7-1, it wasn't over because the bullpen hadn't started pitching yet….

And I said only the Nats bullpen could blow a 6 run lead. Little did I know it would be all in 1 freaking inning.
well, that's what I get for not checking my line up before the games.
Danny Woodhead COME ON!

Pretty upsetting I have the 3rd most points scored and am 1-3 :( everyone goes over 100 when I lose argggghhhhhhh but half the teams are at 1-3 now! Long way to go.
I know its not fantasy football but actual NFL football, but this is the closest appropriate thread for me to comment in:
Watched my annual one Lions game of the season and, boy, was I not disappointed. Total 100% unadulterated Lions lion-ing all over the place.

Didn't Matt Stafford get injured too? I didn't watch many highlights outside of the Skins game.

The things you want to believe about DC sports teams being perennially cursed to lose in the most crotch-punch fashion: they're actually true about the Lions.

Caring about the Lions, even just tangentially or out of some weird civic pride, is like laying in a crawl space and laughing maniacally as death approaches. Its a fools errand of the highest order. You actively stop caring and disassociate yourself from it at some point because the alternative is so awful.
i was about to give up on my season… i was headed for 0-4, despite having what i believe should be a decent team. my team has been underperforming, but luckily team salty helped me out by sucking even more that i did.
the lions were thwarted by that one Cam Chancellor play at the goal line. if megatron could have held on to the ball for another 6 inches, that probably would have been the game for detroit. but it was an amazing play, it's not like he bungled the ball.

Get run off the field, 35-0, no problem. Be six inches from winning and lose on a (admittedly from everyone: defensive player, ref, head of officiating) blown call, total crawl space time.

It really feels unique being a Lions fan. Maybe being a Cubs fan is the closest thing out there, but that feels distinct in a different way. It's weird, lets just leave it at that.

blown call
when i saw that play last night, i thought to myself that was an illegal move by seattle, but when no flag was thrown on such an obvious play i assumed that this was subject to some other rule that i wasn't aware of.
then twitter blew up.
you actually can see him reach for the flag and then think "wait a minute, this is the Lions"
poor, poor lions.
I felt like that was a total "Redskin-esque" way to lose…. meanwhile, my FFL team in our league is absolutely shitting the bed….. my entire team of offensive starters except the QB (2 RB, 3WR, 2 TE (one in the flex)) combined for 188 receiving yards TOTAL, no (receiving) TD's, and 3 lost fumbles last weekend…. taking Jeremy Hill out of the equation, my KICKER outscored the rest of the offensive starters combined!! blah….

funny, when he batted the ball, my first thought was that it was a smart thing to do, since if the offensive team fumbles out of the end zone, it goes to the defensive team (for some reason)….. being a Redskins fan, you can't help but know THAT rule since its happened twice to us in the last couple of years…. I had no idea you can't bat the ball in any direction in the end zone until I started seeing the online blow-up….

Yeha, but, the Cubs are in the playoffs this year so…

so going into last night's game, i had a 16 point lead and still my kicker (Brown, NYG) to go. certainly brown would give me 5+ points, right? wml7 had delmarco murray - no way he was putting up 21+ points. yahoo said i had an 85% chance of winning. at halftime, brown only gave me 1 point but my chances were up to 94% 'cause murray had racked up a whooping 2.4 points. clearly it wasn't his night. victory was mine. i stopped paying attention, went to bed.
this morning:
New Jersey Barebacks: 112.24
Godieinhell2: 112.60
"Murray entered the game with 134 yards on the ground across the first five weeks and nearly matched it with a 97-yard second half to get him his first 100-yard game of 2015."
eff this sh*t. my season is over but i'm ok with it: my winning in the big survivor pool will cushion my fall to the bottom of the fantasy rankings ;D
funny how the only 2 guys left in the survivor pool are both at the bottom of the fantasy standing.

Ha, I thought for sure I was going to lose this matchup. Last two weekends were brutal with me missing people on bye and missing that, or starting people who didn't do squat. Yay!
;D
I'm up to 4th place!!! Looking at going over .500 finally. People need to quit scoring so many damn points against me! 4 starters on bye this week. Oh goodness.
