Ugh, James Jones deciding to suddenly turn it on last week could have saved me from being dead last in the league if I had replaced Victor Cruz with him. But I didn't, and now I'm done for this year and done with this particular league. Maybe if I pay attention next year I can get in on the BR boards league.

Both the BR boards leagues I'm in have at least one random dude in them so yeah start looking around July in this forum. We always need more dedicated fantasy players. There's some stiff competition though

Hey, as long as no one will talk about me behind my back saying that someone else should take over for me next year because I'm "so bad at it" I think I'll do just fine

As long as you dont quit midway through the season (so annoying) you'll be fine.

[theblackdog]

Oh no, I stick it out until the end, even if I get decimated by injuries and players turning it on the week I bench them for non-performance

Nah, I stick it out, even when I'm forced to swap out players due to injuries or tearing my hair out because the 12 point QB that I'm up against suddenly gets 34 points to my 18 points.

Hey, that trade wasnt my idea. I was happy with my team but Crushmore really wanted Marshall and Spiller so I got the most out of them =)

I bought low on all of them essentially and it worked out.

[flaccopoe]

Gonzalez had 1 reception for 9 yd... I'll leave it at that.

[flaccopoe]

I faced Cobb, Rice and Tucker and still won Gold! What a relief!

[Ed_Reed20]

Hakeem Nicks and Tony Gonzalez...

I care. I wanted my fake trophy.

[Clutch Ravens]

In a 20-year-old TD only league, I just became the FIRST EVER team in League history to win back-to-back points titles and not win the Trophy AT LEAST one of the two seasons.

Up 7 with Vernon Davis vs Marshawn Lynch & San Fran's D. Lynch scores twice while Davis gets knocked out in the first Quarter. It disgusts me how much luck has to do with this.

Still bitter of some vetoes? What do they have to do with me losing?

Went 11-2 during the regular season getting a double-bye and the #1 seed. I would've beaten any other team playing this week.

I'm genuinely done with Fantasy Football.

[Yatagarasu]

Yeah, it took me a while to figure out that it doesn't matter what team you have, you have to play the match-uos.

That's why drafting week 14-16 players is so important.

Everything. As pointless as it is to go into what ifs, if Gabe doesnt get that trade the seeding may have changed which means you might have gotten a different opponent and would have never been in said position to lose. Of course I could be wrong, but yea

Anyway, I still dont get how you weren't okay with my trade but his was all good but nothing you can do about it now. Enjoy your loss. I'll enjoy mine until next year in this league.

See, I'd be able to cope if it were me not picking match-ups effectively.

What I can't cope with is losing by 2 points to an inferior team knowing I would've won against any other team this week. I couldn't cope with either of my regular season losses either, since both teams had to get their highest scores of the last 2 years to beat me.

I can handle it when someone legitimately beats me, but when I lose because of ridiculous fluke I'm as sore a loser as there is.

Go with Wilson. The Seahawks are on FIRE! They're the only merger-era team to ever score 50+ in 2 consecutive games. Wilson scored 39.4 pt lost week with 3 rushing TDs and a passing TD! Kaepernick should struggle against the 12th man and SEA's fierce defense.

Certainly don't go with Freeman!
[/quote]

Originally I had Freeman in my lineup. Then I switched to Kaep at noon. Then I switched to Wilson ten minutes before the game (at dinner wi/ my wife)

Bottom line. Toughest call of the season. Right call. Won my money league based on that decision. The other two guys, I would've lost. I just lined my pockets with a lot of cash.

Turns out it wasn't as impressive of a call. That last late TD by Kaep would have won my game as well (by 1 point). I prefer the 15 point win though.

The more, the merrier! Care to divulge how much loot you won?

[flaccopoe]

Damn, I lost my Bronze game at the last minute because of Marshawn Lynch and David Akers. The guy that hasn't changed his roster since Smith's concussion! I won the Gold medal game, so I'm still happy!

[theblackdog]

Oh for #$^%@ sake, NOW all the players I owned decided to pull their acts together this week. I would have beaten [b]every single winner[/b] this week if I hadn't been eliminated from the playoffs in the first place, including our league champion.
