I'm down by 21 with Rodgers going for me tonight v. my opponent who has McGahee... needless to say, I hope Rodgers throws 4 INTs and we dominate. I'm pretty secure in terms of playoff position.

This is the first weekend I have enjoyed without the stress of football.

My fantasy team is in first (final week) in the big money league. I actually want my team to lose (guaranteed playoffs) because I'd much rather take on any team besides the 4th place team. He leads the league in points. No Ravens game on Sunday. I actually did stuff away from my command center!

This **** stresses me out too much. I think I might sit out my 10th year of playing. It's time for a rest.

My team was dominating this week, with Ray Rice and Marques Colston having huge games. I had a sizeable lead until Matt Hasselbeck stunk it up for 0 points, compounded my opponent having the Cardinals defense!

I was angered but hoped Matt Forte, who I took with the number 2 overall pick, could save me against a mediocre Falcons run defense. His response: 3 fantasy points, including 15 carries for 23 yards with a fumble.

Fantastic. Furthermore, this IDIOT with probably the worst team in the league is somehow 5-1!!!! He has MJD and seriously no-one else; half his team is off the waiver wires each week! Meanwhile I'm stuck at 3-3.

So I started this thread for those who get equally frustrated at the fickle game of fantasy football. Feel free to vent your frustrations here also!

You took Forte with the 2nd overall pick? Maybe you should of drafted a QB instead. I mean Forte's good, but def not 1st pick quality

uhm its easy to see that hindsight now, but he was one of the top 4 slated FFB players

[FerrariFan87]

I tied this week thanks to Rodgers' second INT and lack of passing yards

I'm still a lock for the playoffs, but would have liked to have taken the division.

so you got hit with the 1.5 whammy, ravens lose... and you don't win at Fantsy Football, I say the 1.5 cause you tied, and didn't lose

If Rodgers could have thrown for 12 more yards, or Driver not kick the ball in the air, I would've won.... oh well, I can still win the division and I am already locked in the playoffs, it's only a matter of seeding.

Two Complaints.

1. Brandon Marshall
2. Keith Null

First round of the playoffs for me. My team put out a great effort. Schaub, Peterson, Mason, Browns D, Dallas Clark. But this was outdone by an individual performance of Brandon Marshall. The guy I was playing had him. The rest of his team sucked. Now he is only 26 points down with him having Hightower & Vernon Davis to go. I'm cooked.

1. Why would the Colts continue to put man to man coverage on Marshall with no over top help? All day long. Orton didn't even look at any one else. Just hiked, turned and threw. 21 catches, seriously?

2. Why is Null even in the NFL. There has to be better quarterbacks out on the street than this guy. It was the icing on the cake with him throwing 5 picks - one for a pick 6. This guy looks like he should be picking boogers on a bus not throwing NFL passes.

On any given week of the season. My points scored this game would have won all games. But now this one thanks to Marshall. I officially hate him and the Colts.

I have Marshall, so he's ok with me.
Hightower might not do a whole lot, and if Davis doesn't have a big game, you still might pull out the win. Good luck!

[ZIBBY28]

frustration?.. i start Addai, he starts Dallas Clark.

I sit Ryan Grant.

Anyone else's playoff hopes/dreams riding on Fitzgerald and/or Boldin tonight???

Thanks for the encouragement guys.

I'm feeling a little bit better especially when Hightower fumbles. But stupid refs blew the whistles, if they didn't blow the whistle early it would've been a defensive TD.

But no, stupid refs. Turned out to be a short TD pass to Vernon Davis.

Keep the hope alive! Bench Hightower!

[J-man]

I kicked my dad out of the playoffs because Turner didnt play this week and I couldnt change it because I was at the game. No Christmas presents for me this year.

[PuRock]

Well I did it! My team beat Brandon marshall. Hightower flailed. Vernon Davis didn't go off the charts.

In the championship of the big money league.

I should really send hate fan mail to Jim Caldwell (Colts HC) for putting single man-to-man coverage w/ no help all day long on Brandon Marshall. That's what gave me fits.

I feel bad for the guy I beat. He put up a pretty great points score, enough to beat the other two playoff teams by 20, 40 points.

[FerrariFan87]

Playoffs start this week... I'm going to need another big game from Marshall and I need a new RB (Marion Barber has killed me this season, but thankfully Rodgers has saved me).. speaking of Rodgers, I am going to need a Bruce Gradkowski-type performance from him this week against the Squealers.

Well if the Steelers continue to unleash hell than you should have nothing to worry about.

Hell, fire [i]and[/i] brimstone this week!

[RavensFanInCA]

I had an awesome week (mostly), but I had some misses:

Starters:
Drew Brees
Ryan Grant
Ricky Williams
Andre Johnson
Brandon Marshall
Vernon Davis
Ravens D
Matt Stover

I missed out on 9 extra points if I played Frank Gore over Ricky Williams and 15 if I played Bironas (I keep him for when Vinatieri comes back and I need a solid kicker).

Based on ESPN scoring, 154 points. Somehow, not good enough for me.
