First place to be decided today! flex
It’s just a cosmic practical joke at this point. There’s no other explanation.
Am I missing something? You’ve still got four to play. Unlikely that you’ll come back, but it’s possible.
Dave needs 15 from Miles Austin to beat me in the first place showdown. Should I be worried?
It’s impossible. I’m down 40 and he has DeMarco Murray to play. So realistically I’ll need about 55 from Ahmad Bradshaw (against the Eagles), Jason Witten, a kicker, and a defense. Considering my awful luck, that’s impossible.
My opponents are now averaging 26.5 points per week from their defense spot. I am averaging 4.3.
Fair enough.
Now it’s 12. Austin has only scored more than that once, but he was awfully close the other two times. Might be a nail-biter.
And so it was. BWAHAHA!
Well my craptastic team just outscored the entire league this week, getting me to 2-2. Which isn’t much, but it is 2 games ahead of Jules, so that’s something.
Furt had the fun time of scoring 2nd most points in the league this week and losing anyway.
Yeah, usually that’s Hamlet’s job. As the recap thingy put it:
As far as my game:
Are there leagues that allow this? This seems like the greatest equalizer in fantasy you could possibly have.
Well, there are non-head to head leagues, where you either just shoot to have the highest total score at the end of the season or get points based on how many teams you would have beaten in any given week.
It’s just a breakdown, though: it tells you how good or bad your team actually is. For example, furt lost this week but would have beaten everyone else - so while he’s officially 0-1 on the week, he’d be 12-1 on the week on that metric.
Ellis Dee wrote a program that would track your record like that, if you faced every team every week, except it did it across several leagues (and also did the gm/coaching grade thing with started/unstarter players) which makes it an interesting tool for overall SDMB results.
I haven’t been doing it this year because the input process isn’t a big deal for one league, but I’ve been in 6 so it’s been overwhelming.
Actually, maybe I should split the job up, and have one person post each league this week and every once in a while we combine our data for cross-league stats. Let me play around with it again and figure out if that’s viable.
My defense scored more than 6! Only two weeks after my season was over!
I don’t think your season is over - if you can pull out a win this week. The 3-1 teams and my team are all playing each other this week, so everyone will come back to the pack.
Mother fucker! I could’ve sworn I sat Jennings, I need to stop setting my lineup on Saturdays when I’m drunk.
If it makes you feel any better, you’d still have been crushed. James Jones would have put you at 72 points, so the Houston D would have to outscore Andre Johnson and Owen Daniels by 13. Not that it’s not possible, especially against Sanchez… just unlikely.
Well, well, well… look at what my team can do when it isn’t being crushed under the weight of horrible bad luck. It makes perfect sense that the 0-4 team now has the highest single-week score of the year.
Alright - looks like I’m in the market for either a TE or a QB.
Fuck Greg Little and everything he stands for. I switched from Nate Washington to Greg Little because Washington had some injury concerned and with 2 Browns receivers out I figured they’d have to pass to little - and then I lost the game by fucking 0.06 points. Anyone else on my bench would’ve got a win.
My team sucks, so being lucky enough to jump out to 3-2 would’ve been awesome, but I missed it by .06. Damn.
Wow. Didn’t notice how close that game ended up. I’ll make everything better by destroying you this week so you won’t have to worry about Greg Little.
