I’m pretty sure I’ll lose. Couldn’t be happier though because it came down to Romo and Witten shitting the bed. Fine by me (this week)! ---

Cam Newton is the #1 scoring QB and oddly Schaub is #6, so I have two of the top 6 after not investing very heavily in the QB position. Schaub surprised me - he rarely puts up huge games, but he does steadily put up 17+ points every week. If I only hadn’t lost Jamaal Charles, I’d have a pretty badass team. ---

True. Varlos keeps creeping up on beating Jules, and then Cassel has a turnover and he goes back down a bit. Incidentally both of my defenses were on a bye this week, and my replacements scored 21 and 31. ---

Ha, Jules leads 223.71 to 223.70. It would be hilarious if it would somehow stick there. Now watch Cassel get another 3 turnovers. ---

Yeah I still had hope all the way until late in the third when things suddenly went the other way. I guess it’s too much to ask to steal a win when you have four RBs hurt and the top scoring QB and RB (going into the week) on bye. I even might have won if Malcom Floyd didn’t suddenly turn into the Chargers #1 receiver despite being questionable to even play all week. Of course he leads a team with Vincent Jackson and Antonio Gates in receiving! Makes perfect sense! It felt better when I thought I didn’t have a chance and I could pin my loss on Tony Romo and Witten getting beat down by the Eagles. That feeling didn’t last long. ---

It’s going to be an interesting run down the stretch. One of us is likely to miss out on a playoff spot. You’ve got a hundred point lead, but that’s not insurmountable. ---

My RBs are a mess this week. Mathews and McFadden out. Green-Ellis and Daniel Thomas - not sure if they’ll even play. Is this the week Javon Ringer becomes the primary Tennessee RB? Ah, if only I had Charles, McFadden, and Matthews healthy, my team would be going places. ---

Fuck my life. I fell asleep ahead 195 to 115 and woke up an hour later down 251 to 218. ---

Omni has a 32 point lead with Torrey Smith, Hester, and Cutler to play against my Wallace and Maclin. RNATB has a 50 point lead, Vick, and Celek against Varlos’ Roethlisberger, Flacco, Knox, Mendenhall, and Steelers D. Retrovertigo has a 6 point lead, DeSean Jackson, McCoy, and the Ravens D against Jules’ Antonio Brown, Boldin, Rice, Forte, and Eagles D. ---

Robbed of a Ray Rice TD twice in the same drive. Awesome. ---

I have no idea who to sit between Schaub, Ryan, and Sanchez this week. Pretty sure I’m going to pick the wrong one. ---

Yep, benching Matt Ryan was the wrong move, as expected. ---

I may just beat Retro in this one. Too bad RNATB can’t give Jules a challenge or we’d have an interesting situation at the top. ---

Yeah I’d need a huge game from all three of my WR’s, and for you too get almost nothing from the GB defense. ---

I forgot to discuss this before we started this year, but the default trade deadline is November 18, which is in a few days. Typically in my leagues we extend the trade deadline out as far as you can (Dec 2 this year). Does anyone object to extending the deadline? I don’t see a downside - the teams at the bottom aren’t going to throw the season intentionally and they have a motivation to get better for the relegation bowl anyway. ---
