NSBB Fantasy Football

[NCCubFan]

I finally won again (thanks largely to Sanchez's suckfest tonight), but my team really needs to step it up for me to have any chance in the playoffs. I think what's hurt me most in recent weeks is LT remembering that he's past his prime and Collie and Smith (the Giant) being injured.

How to advance in NSBB playoffs:

 

Step 1. Put up second worst score of the week.

 

Step 2. Thank your lucky stars that your opponent is the one team with an even more putrid week.

How to advance in fantasy playoffs:

 

Step 1. play dew's team.

 

Step 2. Celebrate.

 

After finishing in the top 4 of every league, I'm all but eliminated in all but one. If it's possible to choke in fantasy playoffs, I've found a way to do it.

In my other league the regular season champion was 13-0, then lost to the 8th seed in the first round of the playoffs.

Sounds like something I'd do.

 

However, I now have an irrational love for Andre Johnson right now. 35 points last night in the Texans' comeback and I come from way behind to advance!

And the way my team's been going lately you have a good chance to advance to the championship game.

I won't have Rodgers or Gates at my disposal, though. I have Roethlisberger ready to play, though.

I may be without both Smith (the Giant) and Manningham, and it hasn't been reported yet whether Collie will be back.

I'm going to lose badly. A team can only survive so long in this particular league without any returners. I really didn't keep that in mind during the draft. :x

It's been reported Giant Smith is out for the year. Manningham I'm not sure about.

 

I'd love to have Rodgers for the game since Big Ben gets the Jet defense, but even if he plays I'm not sure how effective Rodgers will be after his second concussion this year.

I didn't take any in the draft, but lucked out and found Stefan Logan and Marc Mariani (who has been one of the best return men this year) on waivers. That's saved my season.

Smith is out for the year. He's having knee surgery.

I think the return yards were blown a little out of proportion in this league. Would have helped if I had looked over that prior to the draft.

I plan to tweak that some next year. In the past return yards were part of the defensive scoring, which led to the unintended consequence of rewarding bad defenses because giving up a lot of scores in turn creates kickoff return opportunities. So this year I decided to make return yards part of individual scoring and, although I still like that idea in concept, I think I went overboard in the amount.

Yeah, I'd cut down on the amount of points a guy gives you, but I do like the concept.

Good move: Putting Manningham in my lineup at the last minute.

 

Bad move: Putting him in for Collie rather than Moore.

 

Bad move: Leaving 50+ points from Vick on my bench.

My team finally remembered how to score. I need 10 points combined tomorrow night from Forte and Webb to advance to the championship. My kicker outscored every one of Dew's active players except for his QB.

Good job NC. I'm pulling for snow and ice in Minny to grind the offenses to a hault, but I really don't see much likelihood that Forte and Webb will manage less than 10 points.

 

At least we both had good weeks and neither of our teams forgot to score points. Makes losing feel a lot better.

It was just your bad luck to play against me the week my team started scoring again. Your score would have been enough to beat me any of the previous three weeks.

 

What's encouraging is that I have a good score despite leaving Collie and Vick on my bench. If I had started them I could have really put up a monster score.

Yeah, you'd have flat out demolished me then, even with my guys putting up a pretty good score overall. Good luck fighting for the title!

You may have a stay of execution. Favre has been upgraded to questionable, and if he does play tonight I'll be counting on Forte and Olsen (whom I'd swap in for Webb at the flex position) to combine for 10 points. And while I think they'd likely do it, I wouldn't call it a given.

With as high scoring as the league tends to be, I'd fully expect them to get 10 points. I just hope the weather conditions hold them down.

I'm getting trounced in the championship game, but at least for awhile I was able to brag about my kicker (Janikowski) outscoring Peyton Manning. That changed with the Colts' last TD, though.

[Cubbies622]

Least you still have Michael Vick! If he puts up another 66 point game you could be in it again!

 

I'm in the Championship game in all 3 of my leagues but I already lost the other 2 it seems.

Congratulations on the championship; your team completely domiI can't complain too much; in the four years this league has been in existence I've had two championships, a runner-up, and a 3rd place finish. If only the Cubs and Bears could put up such a record.
