I hate the playoffs - Page 3

**Pestilence** · 12-05-2012, 02:55 PM

I spend the entire week before the games.....second guessing all of my choices.

Do I start Matt Ryan vs. the Panthers? Or do I start Kaepernick against the Dolphins?

Do I start Charles because he gets the ball at least 20 times a game? Or do I start Ridley who will get the opportunity for TDs?

Do I start the Browns defense vs. the Chiefs? Or do I start the Jets defense against Henne (who could go off at anytime)?

Nothing worse than losing in the playoffs because you made a poor choice.

Just think about that Hillis to Quinn play a few weeks ago...if Quinn makes that catch it could have made someone's season in that league!

**Rain Man** · 12-08-2012, 04:52 PM

I'm so nervous. I really need to win here to attain legitimacy for my franchise.

$100 3rd
$50 4th

$180 1st in points
$90 2nd in points
$30 3rd in points

In one of those keeper leagues, the 6 highest scoring teams all made the playoffs.

But I also play adult FFL and play in OP leagues where you can start 2 QB's so the position isn't devalued and the league actually takes a little cognitive thought other than taking RB's over and over and over for the first 5 rounds

Not this shit again

It's true. Someday people will understand how non-skillful 1 QB leagues are.

It's getting that way because there are at least a dozen guys that put up pretty solid numbers anymore You can't wait until later rounds and still get a great QB anymore.

just don't understand why the single most valuable position in sports gets undervalued in the biggest fantasy sport out there

makes NO sense whatsoever

I guarantee in 5 years or less every standard league will start being an OP league

everyone is just behind the curve (other than me, of course!)

they are just far more enjoyable leagues

**Pestilence** · 12-10-2012, 10:01 AM

Put Charles back into my lineup 5 minutes before the game. Thank God.

Ended up starting the Jets defense instead of the Browns defense. Missed out on 5 points. Oh well. I'm up 160 to 98 and all he has left is Arian Foster.

**Nzoner** · 12-10-2012, 10:35 AM

What a week for Coughlin to give Wilson his shot,Bradshaw killed me.

Cave Johnson · 12-10-2012, 02:46 PM

I'm up 20 with Riddler and Hernandez vs. Brady. I like my chances.

**Pestilence** · 12-11-2012, 09:23 AM

Alright.....so obviously I won that matchup. I win this week and I'm in the Championship game. I play the team this week that I lost to in Week 1. Who the **** do I start?

Pick 1
Matt Ryan vs. Giants
Colin Kaepernick vs. Patriots

Pick 2
Jamaal Charles vs. Raiders
Doug Martin vs. Saints
Stevan Ridley vs. 49ers

Pick 3
Julio Jones vs. Giants
A.J. Green vs. Eagles
Victor Cruz vs. Falcons
Pierre Garcon vs. Browns
Jordy Nelson vs. Bears

Pick 1
Browns vs. Redskins
Jets vs. Titans
Vikings vs. Rams (FA pickup if need be)

My RBs are obvious. I'm not starting Ridley against the 49ers. I generally hate having a bunch of players in 1 game.....but Ryan, Jones and Cruz are obvious starts. The defense is what gets me the most. The Browns have to play RGIII. The Jets are playing on Monday night....but that team is all sorts of ****ed. And the Vikings play the Rams....but the Rams have shown the capability of putting up points.

It's basically going to come down to whether or not Ryan decides to **** me over.

**Old Dog** · 12-11-2012, 09:46 AM

Any chance that either the Lions (@ Arizona) or Bengals (@ Philly) are available? I would look there if they are rather than Minnesota.

Otherwise the only possibility I see is Kaepernick and like you, I would start Ryan.

**Pestilence** · 12-11-2012, 09:47 AM

The Lions? Yes. The Bengals? No.

**Old Dog** · 12-11-2012, 10:27 AM

The Cardinals haven't scored 20 since week 4, are the lowest scoring team in the NFL, have gained the fewest yards, have given up (by far) the most sacks, and only two teams (KC and Philly) have committed more turnovers.

I believe Detroit is the answer for a defense this week if you can get them.

**Pestilence** · 12-11-2012, 10:50 AM

****....I thought they were available. Turns out someone picked up them up last week. Bastards. Here are the FA defenses that are available.

Cardinals vs. DET
Eagles vs. CIN
Cowboys vs. PIT
Vikings vs. STL
Bucs vs. NO
Panthers vs. SD
Redskins vs. CLE
Chiefs vs. OAK
Colts vs. HOU
Raiders vs. KC
Saints vs. TB
Titans vs. NYJ
Jags vs. MIA

Dartgod · 12-11-2012, 10:57 AM

**** Seattle's defense.

Win my division, best record in the league and I'm out in the 1st round because Seattle's defense scored an insane amount of points.

Scoring in our league is generally around 130-150 is needed to win. I lost 181-136.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111111
