You should get it. If it where in your league, I'd be worried. But ATD's league which is a ppr league w/ bonuses you SHOULD be golden.

We'll see. The Giants' D has been tough against the run and Austin has 2 had absolute stinkers amongst his 3 huge games. Hopefully, he puts together the latter tonight.

I'm actually hoping for a 3rd stinker from Austin this week. I'm down to Romo in the ESPY league. He has Austin, I have Bradshaw and Nicks. I'm down 12.

With my 3RD loss coming up it looks like my playoff hopes for the 16 person are done, so brute considering there are GM's in the league who are not even active and have losing records but have GREAT chances at making the playoffs.

[Ed_Reed20]

What a night for me.

I [b]lose[/b] in ATD's league by [b]0.44 points[/b] to go 2-5.

And I [b]lose[/b] in my league to an absent and winless owner(SupaBwandin) by [b]0.38 points[/b] even though he was playing Jahvid Best, [b]whose on his bye[/b], an [b]inactive[/b] Reggie Bush and Dan Klecko [b]who is out of football[/b].

Yeah, ED20, I lost in my league last week to a guy who was starting TWO players on a bye week. This is pathetic, I start with one loss and lose four straight.

That sucks man.

Essentially the same thing happened to me in your league last week, I lost to a guy who was playing Schiancoe and Walter who combined for zero points.

It didn't help my case that Mike Thomas didn't do anything for me this week other than fumble twice. But with Collie and Floyd both out, I didn't have any other choice really. It definitely doesn't look good for me now that Collie is out indefinitely. Hopefully I get lucky on waivers at #10, which I haven't been lately.

Are there any players worth targeting?

I just checked and I play you this week; it should be fun.

Yeah, there's one player I'm targetting at Wide Out, but I'm not sure if he'll fall to me at 10.

You might have an easy game. My two best running backs (Forte and Hillis) are on bye's, along with Heap and Baltimore's D/ST. I'm franticly trying to plug the holes on my roster with the very, very scant options in free agency.

That's tough. Good luck anyway.

You forgot the HUGE smile after interesting ER.

Anyone notice that Kenny Britt on JO's team had as many points as SupaB's entire team? LOL

[XxSizzleXx]

I really think you should swap Rosemount and I out of the East. You have SupaB in the West who is inactive and 1-6, then in the North is Big Ben's Bodyguards who is 0-7 and ALSO inactive.

EDIT - Neither one of them has made a transaction or been active for almost 2 months.

You know what's even more sad SupaB beat ER20 this week.

It's like losing to a dead guy, because I seriously think SupaB is dead in a ditch somewhere (looking at his fantasy Avatar - it makes sense).

I am not switching anyone from any division. You only want out of your division to better your standing in the league, which is unfair to the others.

Looks like I'm dead in the water, at 4-3....shiiiit.

Don't give up yet. Looking at my matchup this week, I think I lose. The team I am playing is Max Facial. He hasn't been active, but most of his team isn't on byes this week with great matchups.

Then I have some tough matchups against active teams like ATD, Elmos, ER20, theflubberdubber

So I could in theory end up being 7-5 by week 13.

Well you weren't lucky. You didn't get to play him when he had Big Ben Suspended for the first 4 games. And plus week 7 most of his studs weren't on byes.

I see you took my advice for Anthony Armstrong this past week as well. Guess that didn't work out.

True.

Yeah, to make it even worse, Armstrong dropped a potential TD(like Austin).

Fixed. I'm actually in 6th out of 16 in the standings, yet since it's not top 2 in div it doesn't warrant a playoff spot.

Actually, it's the same exact concept. You want to better your standings in the league. Sorry, like I said, it's not fair to others to switch you out.

Secondly, I don't know what you're complaining about. There are [b][u]EIGHT[/u][/b] playoff teams, meaning the top [b][u]EIGHT[/u][/b] teams will be in the playoffs. So, since you are currently sixth, basic math shows that six is between one and eight, therefore that makes you a playoff team as it stands...

[XxSizzleXx]

The reasons I thought it would be a good idea to switch out was because I thought the settings for the league were the top 2 in each division move on, but it is just division winners and then the the next 4. [b]I just found this out now and this is the reasoning like a month back why I wanted to go to no divisions(now I know it's just division winners)[/b].

[AwakenTheDemon]

Even if it were the top two teams from each division made the playoffs, I [i]still[/i] wouldn't move you. The divisions were set prior to the season even starting, it's completely unfair (and selfish of you to request) to move you just because you happened to get stuck in a division with two undefeated teams. I'm not trying to be a jerk here, but c'mon, man.

[XxSizzleXx]

I just figured it was conversation worthy considering how many GM's are inactive, end of topic lad. Also I wasn't just making a case for me, I was mentioned the other person in the division when first brought up

[AwakenTheDemon]

Dude, you've hinted about wanting out of your division before and there was no one else mentioned by you that time. It's not my fault Flubber (whoever that is here) and PuRock are undefeated, that's out of my control (obviously). It's also not my fault that some people are inactive, I didn't move anyone around once the season started, so it's not like I'm manipulating the standings (which is precisely what I would be doing by moving you out of your division).

Now if you'll excuse me, I have Fable 3 to be playing.

I had a waiver claim in for him but I also had one in for Blount which was higher. Nobody picked up Blount (which actually surprised me) so I got him, then you got Johnson right after me.
