Damn my matchups suck this year

You ended up beating me by a whooping 4.38 points last week, good for you. If I had started Michael Turner instead of Alfred Morris which I swapped out at the last minute Sunday I would have won. That's on me for over thinking this. This league is the only league I'm sucking in. Two others I'm in top 3. Lost 2 in a row. Ugh

same could have been said for me. I had Jordy out and swapped him in at the last second for Pierre Thomas

Big deal we all suffer from injuries and bye weeks.

Here's why you won and I lost besides Turner

5 of the 9 starters scored less than their projected points.

That's what happened to me friend, that Turner switch killed me but when half of your team under performs your going to lose. And when you get someone on a lucky week like you had

DeMarcoKnows saw the majority of their starters (5 of 9) beat their projected point total.

Your going to win. You caught me at the right time and got lucky with a 4 point win

not sure how it is luck at all? Since we are playing the "What if" game, had I started Pierre Thomas and you started Turner, I still would have won

Its bad luck that half of my team didn't live up to expectations while half of yours went over what was expected buddy. Good job

You are looking at this all wrong. Projections are just a guess. They are not guaranteed thus when your team loses that may be used as an excuse.

How hard would it be for you to just say "great game"?

[addicted36]

I did MITM, how hard is it for you to read?

Im cursed in this league. Started Witten instead of Gonzalez, started Turner instead of Torrey Smith. Left 50 points on the bench. Third loss in a row and officially looking forward to next season now

[armyatc22]

Yahoo is still jacking up for a lot of people but I was able to pull this out of the league about 10 mins ago still cant see anything else

[Jackg1980]

It was jacked up for me too. Hopefully it does not screw me. I was taking R. Boyles out. Or trying to.

[tolrobb]

yeah, yahoo has been crappy all day

[ManInTheMirror]

Picking up Tampa Bay and Sidney Rice on Thursday were wise moves. Pickup before that was Andre Brown. What a week for me.

[tolrobb]

I can't believe the parity in this league, there is no truly awesome or terrible team. Good job guys.

Good game Rob. The weather from the Bears-Texans game and the Dez Bryant Non-TD were the difference in an otherwise inch for inch matchup. Jennings and Thomas were horrible with less than 5 points combined, but Lynch made up for them

well, my best player was on bye (Rodgers), my highest scoring non-qb was injured (Harvin), and I really goofed by benching S-Jax for Vick Ballard, NOT TO MENTION, the 80 yard play to Amendola in overtime that was called back on a late flag due to a procedural violation.

Doesn't matter, but I thought I'd share since we're making excuses.

btw, Lynch also had a TD called back, not sure if you saw that.

[tolrobb]

anybody have a decent receiver for trade (that hasn't played yet this week) that needs a QB or RB?

Dang I would have- well I didn't NEED a RB as I had Beanie sitting on my bench.

[addicted36]

My team sucks! Great league though guys, very competitive. When do the playoffs start and any one want to make this a keeper league for next year?

I am definitely down for another year. I feel this year has gone wonderfully and has stayed competitive down to the last week. I'm not sure its fair to make it a keeper league at this point though. I'm sure most would have drafted differently had they known that from the start. But as always, I'm down to put it to a vote. :-)

[Jackg1980]

I am down for another year also.

[Falcons_Fan]

I am good with another year as well. It has been fun this year. I would be fine making this a keeper league if that is what everyone wants.

[addicted36]

If the league agrees to a keeper league I say each of us gets to keep one player drafted from this year as his pick for next years draft selection minus one round. So say I drafted someone in the 7th round I want to keep next year. Next years draft that player would cost me my 6th round pick in 2013s draft. If you want to keep your 1st round pick he counts as your 1st round pick in 2013. But you can only keep a player for a maximum of one year and then they reenter the pool and you can't keep a player you don't have on your final roster at the end of the year so if you traded him away or dropped him and he's not on your team he's out. What do you guys think? We don't have to do this but I think it adds a wrinkle to next years league that could be fun

If be down if it ended up being a keeper league

[yankeesfan24]

I am up for keeping the league going next year, but I probably would have drafted differently knowing that it was a keeper league.

[pats4dawin]

I'm up for another year....can't believe how much injuries killed me this year between Greg Jennings, Antonio Brown, Darren Mcfadden, Willis Mcgahee, and somewhat Mendenhall. Oh well, I will look forward to next year!

WIth the keeper idea, if you got someone in a trade and kept them, would you lose the round that they drafted him in?

No if you traded for them you keep them minus a round they were drafted in.

I'm trying to figure out the reason I'm out of the playoffs this year. Seems 8 teams made it and I'm the 8th ranked team overall and 2nd in my division. In the playoffs is the 9th and 10th ranked teams. The 9th ranked team I scored more points then and 3rd in my division. The 10th ranked team scored more then I did on the season but ranked second in his division. How did I miss the playoffs? Upon closer inspection the 4 worst teams made it. I'm confused
