you think FFB is tough on us, when we see someone run wild against us... and lose by like 1 or 2 points


imagine how frustrating it must be for these 4 people

I should play more than! Then maybe if my company fires me it'll light a fire under my ****** to get a better.

I gotta get out of this place, but just too lazy to get the wheels moving.

Got bit by going to the game as well, forgetting to set my lineups. I sat Brandon Marshal in one league and Djax in another :34853_shakehead:

You sat Brandon Marshall? Please tell me you aren't in a PPR league. Marshall gave me fits this past week since I was going against him.

He dominated PPR leagues.

Well, how's this for a brilliant move???
Of course, it's playoff time. My dumb*ss thought process was that the Colts were only going to play their starters for the first half, so I took Wayne out of my lineup. :34853_doh: :gaah:
The guy I'm playing has MJD, so I'm way behind already. :th_shame:

I put V-Jax in for Wayne, I hope he has a great game.....

Yea that was a pretty bad thought process by you. I figured it was a divisional game and if the Colts want to win, they'll be playing all game.

I started Dallas Clark. Got 2 TDs out of it. The guy I'm playing against in the championship game had Jones-Drew. Who also had 2 TDs. So it's game on!

I don't understand your frustration at all. Im currently in the playoffs of all 7 of my leagues and I'm up in all of them. My best team consists of Rodgers, maroney, cj, rice, Wayne, djax, qnd shiancoe. I drafted all of them as well.

I'm in the semi-finals of my fantasy league and have been using Marion Barber pretty much every week, hoping he'd break loose. Well, this week, seeing that Barber's sucked the past month and a half, decided to go with Beanie Wells against the Lions. Naturally, Barber breaks out tonight for 19 points! Wells better have a huge game or I am going to be angry ;-(

All of my worrying was for not... everyone came through for me this week. I'm up by 37 points and I still have Fred Davis playing tomorrow. My opponent has Steve Smith going for him tonight, but there's no chance of him putting up 38 points.

I have 1 where me and this guy are tied at 104.... now lets say if I didn't have my TE to go or my TE makes 0 points.... how does the tie breaker work for that?

That's a great question... not really sure.

Who's your TE?

I am the Champion in the 12-team big money league!

I did it! Peterson just sealed the deal with that catch and run. It's been a tough season and I'm glad I'm done.

The money I win now goes directly in the wedding fund. :(

$1,000

This is a competitive league. Well at least the winnings make up for the other years of losing my 100 bucks. Couldn't come at a better time.

In Yahoo leagues, they total up your bench players, obviously, the highest total wins. I don't think anyone in my league knows this, and I never tell them. :)

It must be buried in their rules somewhere. Guess it doesn't matter now! I had Shancoe in too, with Heap on the bench. :34853_doh:
Fortunately, still won, so it's off to the finals!!

Steven Jackson was a game-time scratch and could very well cost me the Championship... I need 12 points from Fred Davis to win.

Freaking Miles Austin on your team is why I blew a ten-point lead in our Championship game. Not only that, but Peyton Manning getting yanked early negated the HUGE day that Jonathan Stewart had for me!

I now have to rely on Cedric Griffin or whoever I sub in as my CB to make up the point deficit...so freaking close!...

Well, GB put up 48 points and Rodgers only had one TD... this shouldn't really be close. Peyton getting yanked wasn't surprising.

That being said, I fully expect you to steal this one tomorrow night thanks to Griffin, but who knows? :P

Don't assume such things; I need Griffin to make at least four tackles to overcome this 3-point deficit and win. I don't trust Griffin to make any tackles, period. At the same time, though Winfield has gotten more tackles in each game he's played, he's missed a lot of time and has only recently come back from injury, but is still listed as probable. I'm concerned.

Whichever way it goes, it was a great battle.

I'm in the championship game and the guy I'm playing needs 46.66 from AP. So if Peterson is at least half human tonight, I win $200.
