    Smallwood was a total bust but David Johnson, Adam Vinatieri and Larry Fitz almost scored enough on their own to get me a win. :)

    This week I'm up against Gronk When You're Winning who has the 2nd most overall points and has managed to turn that into a 5-0 record. I'm top overall in points but team record is 3-2.

    If Julio doesn't preform I don't get the W :(

    2-3 at the moment, will have to fight hard for a playoff spot.

    My other league there is a lad on 5-0, and the only teams that have less points than him are the two teams that have one win between them! Fantasy eh!?

    I won a game!

    0-5...I can't seem to catch a break. Lost one of the weeks by a percentage of a point :( Short of a miraculous turn around my season is over all ready.

    I feel ya. TBH I look at my roster and think "really?" My hinge points were due to be Keenan Allen at WR and Todd Gurley at RB. I was delighted with my draft, because I got Thomas Rawls too!

    FFS.

    Honestly the only thing stopping me from being a total embarrassment each week is the fact I picked up the Vikings D. And as a Packer fan I HATE that I root for them now. Bleurgh.

    It's also impossible to get anybody on the wavierwire with so may people in the league! I had Booker from the beginning of the season as one of my mates is from Colorado and was singing Bookers praises. Got rid of him last week stupidly listening to NFL fantasy advice and now he stands to get CJ Anderson's place/ a share of his touches if you believe the same tw*ts! If he blows up I might just go off the deep end of fantasy football...tis a cruel mistress!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,678 ✭✭✭Marcus Antonius


    The Cleveland Browns of the league....0-6. Lost this week thanks to the Jets D getting -1 points. Lost by 1 point. Ah FF is cruel


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,512 ✭✭✭baby and crumble


    Pretty sure my showing in the finals of Div 7 last year was beginners luck.

    :pac::pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,183 ✭✭✭✭paulie21


    First loss of the season

    And every single one of my team for crapping out this week...

    "Waiver request unsuccessful".

    :mad: Of course. Of course it was.

    It always is man, it always is :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,678 ✭✭✭Marcus Antonius


    My amazing luck continues, 0-7, lose by less that 0.20 of a point this week! The urge to throw the towel in on the whole season is very tempting :( Booker has his breakout game of the season and my RB Miller goes off injured. Can't catch a break at all!

    Wow - you really are having a tough run of it, I think I beat you by less than a point a few weeks back... Prob need7 wins minimum for the playoffs! But theres always the consolation bracket. Get a bit of revenge!

    I had a ****ty loss at the weekend. My stalwart RB got 1 POINT!! my QB is injured and I put in Flacco and he laid an egg and so on! Lost by 3. To make matters worse, I've 6 players on a bye this week. 5 starters. So looks like I'll have to eat a loss.

    5-1 looking set for the playoffs can easily turn into 5-3 looking for a win badly!!

    Great league we have.

    There is literally nothing left on the Waiver Wire this week though.

    Lol why couldn't I be playing you this week?! :p I've lost 3 games out of the 7 by a point or less :mad: I'll be nailed on for the Sacko at this stage!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 466 ✭✭L.S.F


    I take it that the division positions are going by head to head. I'm still in a playoff hunt but can't afford to lose many more


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 583 ✭✭✭mooreman09


    Right folks... I badly need a running back... Badly.

    Willing to trade a top wideout for a top RB. I have Antonio Brown and Hilton. I'd need a top class RB for them but would trade.

    Otherwise I'd take a Middle level RB for Edelman, Coates or Terrelle Prior.

    Moorefield Ranger - if you want to take a look.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 466 ✭✭L.S.F


    Tyrod Taylor for a 6 point running back anyone? :o

    Lol I'm the exact opposite. In about 6 other leagues all of which I'm at least .500% two I'm 8-0 and in this league I'm 0-8 :( Least this week I was hammered and not beaten by less than a point!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,678 ✭✭✭Marcus Antonius


    Looks like I finally won a game :O Play-offs here I come (1-8) lol. Big thank you to Latavius Murray and an awful Bronco's D!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,040 ✭✭✭McG


    First team to break 1000 points! Yay!
    Only a 5-5 record to show for it! Boo!

    I can only dream of what my record would be had I not traded away Melvin Gordon (+ Stafford) for Jamaal Charles :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 466 ✭✭L.S.F


    And I would have to bench DeSean Jackson when he picks up a load of points! :(

    It's always the way :( Was convinced who ever had Cousins probably had him on the bench but they didn't which was a good call!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,074 ✭✭✭MoyVilla9


    Despite being 5-7, this season has gone quick. Can't believe that next week is the last of the "regular season". My luck of escaping injuries all of last year was well and truly turned on it's head this time around.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 583 ✭✭✭mooreman09


    Its really tight this year. I was at 8-3 sitting pretty confident, hoping for a bye. Then I got pipped by 1/2 a point because of Santos kicking two FGs ion OT...

    Now I'm at 8-4 needing another win to make it into the playoff and projected to lose badly this week!!

    Fcking Fantasy Football!!

    You can't be caught, only one week left and 6th place, the last playoff spot is currently a 4 way tie, and 2 games behind you.
    I need to beat you this week to get to 7-6 and give me a chance. It'd come down to head to head with whoever else can get to 7-6. I'm totally biased this year but I think points scored is a way fairer way to decide ties rather than head to head.

    I confused myself - my other league with my mates is a 14 week one.

    Ok - I'm in so.

    I feel bad for you if you don't make it. You've been scoring well all year.
    The records last season in div 7 were a lot tighter. I think 6-7 got in.

    there's a reasonable chance I could end up being the top scoring team in the regular season (less than 9 points behind current leader) and still miss the playoffs. We'll see after this weekend.

    It is a sickner alright. That's FF for you though. I've done abysmally this season, 3-9. Can't really have any complaints about not being in the playoffs. The only thing that has annoyed me is that I've lost 4-5 of those games by 1 point or less. It is a cruel game. Best of luck making the playoffs though. Deserve to be there with points scored.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,040 ✭✭✭McG


    scraped into the playoffs!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,909 ✭✭✭Agent J


    Woo! First round by!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,678 ✭✭✭Marcus Antonius


    Best of luck to everyone who made the playoffs and also the consolation bracket! Apparently 16th in a 16 man league doesn't qualify for either, lol. Can have no complaints. Good season with highs and lows for all.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 583 ✭✭✭mooreman09


    I snuck through my playoff - despite Big Ben hitting a whopper 2.6 points!!!!!!!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,040 ✭✭✭McG


    I'm out barring a Pats defensive miracle. That's got to be one of, if not the worst week I had this season.... poor timing for it :(

    oh well, there's always next year.

    You never know with the Pats. Been some crazy D scores this season

    I mistakenly thought I had a bye this week.. only realised on Friday. Whoops.

    Look the Falcon DEF....on my bench. Anything can happen!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 466 ✭✭L.S.F


    Made the consolation bracket with a bye with a 6-7 record.

    A 20 point underdog in the semis from early projections tho!

    Been a real great battle between myself and Moorefield Rangers in the championship bracket. I've a 9 point lead with the Panthers defence tonight against Rob Kelley playing for MR

    Yeah, it's been tight. Dropping Boswell as my kicker was a disaster!!

    I think you'll just do enough unless Kelly has a game like he did a few weeks back and gets to run.in some tds... He needs to get me 16 points MINIMUM to give me a chance!

    Best of luck!

    Been a good league this year.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,909 ✭✭✭Agent J


    Okay Gronk. Lets do this.

    May the best Team Win.

    *exhales*

    If Ezkel can score 37 points tonight I lose. I will not feel safe until thats over.

    Especially since I'd be kicking myself with Rodgers and Chris Thompson on my Bench..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,183 ✭✭✭✭paulie21


    Well done on the win. Zeke done his best made it close in the end but too much to claw back


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,909 ✭✭✭Agent J


    GG Paulie. I admit I was worried especially looking at what I left on my bench.

    Good League everyone. Thanks for playing.

    I am hoping the Packer emulate my path.. Start well. Screw up Royally mid league and pull it out just in time to win.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 466 ✭✭L.S.F


    Good season everyone, enjoyed it this year even with a losing record!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,040 ✭✭✭McG


    congrats Agent J.
    Hope to see most of you again next season!
