I might be willing to let one of my bench QBs go after Week 6, when Manning and Rivers have their bye week. ---

I’m in the same boat. I’d gladly give somebody up like a mob stoolie after their buy week. ---

The 4 2-0 teams went 0-4 and the 4 0-2 teams (I was one) went 4-0. 3 0-2s beat 3 2-0s. Is it safe? ---

I fell to 1-3 after this week’s thrashing, and I think I’m the victim of the biggest blowout of the week to boot. ---

1-4 now. Detroit Lurkers kicked my ass without even bothering to start a kicker. And I might have a second consecutive biggest blowout loss. Ouch. ---

I could give you some help if you’re willing to trade one of your QBs, I mean, with Alex Smith sitting on your bench and all. ---

I might be willing to trade a QB after this week, when both my starters have bye weeks. ---

Grrr. I’ve got all 3 of my WR on bye weeks…looks like I didn’t plan ahead. ---

> [@dalej42](#): > > Championship time, this could be my firs SDMB league to win, Good luck to **NAF1138** Sucks. I read that Bryant would start last week, but neglected to put him in, favoring Santana Moss. Starting Bryant would have won me the first round and, of course, no one would have beaten me this week. Gratz though. ---

Man, if I had started either of my other possible WRs instead of Hakeem Nicks… Goes to show I should listen to my head and not my gut when the championship is on the line. It was a great game and dale had a hell of a team. Hope everyone else had fun this year too. ---

Yeah, that is pretty brutal. Two receivers on your bench with 20 points. Did Nicks not play or did they just not throw to him? Congratulations Phoenix. ---

He played, he just wasn’t good. Though I blame Manning more than anything. It’s amazing to me how dramatically his skills have dropped off from last season. I wonder if he is playing hurt.
