Since Dallas Clark is out, I’m really hoping that this gets retroactively fixed. Hopefully Varlos can weigh in soon.
I didn’t see this before kickoff, but last night I removed Cribbs from my starting lineup and slotted in waiver wire fodder for my TE spot just in case. I’m assuming that there’s no one out there thinking that I’d actually pick Pitta over Gonzo. Hopefully Varlos weighs in before Pitta turns in his 80 yard, 2 TD performance in the late game making me flip the fuck out.
2 weeks in a row I should have played Carson Fucking Palmer over Vick and Cutler. What is this world coming to!
Crap, didn’t see this until now, was at a high school speech & debate tourney this weekend w/o wi-fi.
My stated policy has always been that trades will not be fast-tracked as a matter of course, but ***can ***be if I feel the circumstances warrant it. In this case, the trade is thunderously non-controversial, **Omni **adjusted his starting roster on the assumption that the trade would go through, it’s really obvious who **Omni **would have started, retro-fixing the rosters won’t change the result of the game (thank god), and I feel bad about missing this yesterday night. So, once the trade goes through, I’ll retroactively slot Gonzo in for **Omni **in the TE spot (which will net him about 9 additional points).
Obviously no one did anything wrong here, but, just for future reference, I’d reiterate that everyone should count on trades taking 2 days to process, so plan accordingly.
With no one left to play, I’m thoroughly boned this week.
Ponder/Gabbert/Tate/Jacobs are still up on the trading block for the right WR.
So, I need 20 points from Mason Crosby. That’s… a lot.
I may be screwed. I need 50 points out of my Green Bay players, but the early defensive TD and the TD to the one GB player I don’t own is a bad start. And they’re going to get out ahead so fast that they’re going to stop scoring. Damn.
10% of th e way there.
25%
Oh well. I’m now tied with Beef, which means our game next week will more than likely decide who wins the division.
Schaub’s injury is not exactly helpful to my cause.
Who wants to trade me a quarterback?
I might still have John Beck!
Edit: No, I don’t. I guess you can put together a package for Rodgers.
I think I can still win the division even if I lose to you next week but it’d be difficult. I’m probably going to make it in as a wild card if not, but then I’d rather wait to face Stringer in the championship and not the first game.
I’ve got Christian Ponder and Blaine Gabbert up for trade if you’re willing to part with a good WR.
Not for them, I’m not. I would give up Meachem for Ponder.
I’d give up more for Andy Dalton.
This is the league of lowball trade offers. No one is even in the right ballpark with values IMO.
That’s because we all weigh present and future value differently. I’m a “win now” kind of guy (as is Justin).
At least you got rid of one from your glut of TE’s finally.
People value players differently, go figure. I think your estimation of value on Finley is too high, you think it’s right. You think my estimation of value on Eric Decker or Steve Smith is too high, I think it’s right. So trades don’t get made. Viva la difference.
I’d have traded Finley for a tier 3 receiver, so my valuation isn’t that high I don’t think. I mean, people were offering me scraps like Jerome Simpson and Jacoby Jones.
If I had cut Finley at the end of last year, he’d probably be a top 3-4 pick in our draft. Those other players would be round 3-4 guys. That says the value is nowhere near right.
In any case, for dismissing those sorts of scraps, I was dismissed as “holding out for Calvin Johnson”, which made little sense since there’s an obviously huge gap between Jacoby Jones and Calvin Johnson.
True. I think the last dozen posts I’ve made to this thread have been pleas to obtain a top-flight WR because I want to win this year.
I’m building for the future. If I had top flight WRs to spare I wouldn’t be.
What if I dangled Ben Tate, Christian Ponder and a WR Not Named Roddy White in front of you for Wes Welker?
