TPM Fantasy Football League: Season Two!

[kainashi]

man was i owned this week. oh well, you can't win them all. i'll just have to win the rest i guess.

[Ultimate Charizard]

Whats really annoying me now....my Bench has scored 48 points. 1 Less than my starting team (although 2 of the big scorers are QB's)

But basically since i only have 2 left to play, and my opponent has 4...im not expecting to win my first week

[Drago]

My team was consistently poor. I love consistency.
With the score I'm toting now I'm looking like this year's BYE, only with much, much more smack.

[Ultimate Charizard]

Its official, my Bench has so far outscored my main squad and i have 2 of the top 3 scoring QB's in my team and neither started lol.

[mr_pikachu]

whoever i was facing got really lucky that plaxico burress decided to play the game of his LIFE...i would've been happy with losing this week so long as the giants won...but their cover 2 defense likes to do nothing.

I believe Sultans of Swing = DTZ. And yes, a WR scoring 25 points in a losing effort is insane.

[kainashi]

i will not open the season 0-2.

Like I said, once again I've got the fewest points of any week one winner. Now if I can just duplicate the rest of last season...

[kainashi]

at least i'm not last.

[Ghost]

Yeah baby! Fear the Thunder!

[Mr.E]

Note that I had a -1 point effort from Dallas DEF, with 29-point Minnesota sitting on my bench. :[

[Ultimate Charizard]

How u think i feel, i had Manning (28pts) on my bench while Donovan McNabb brings home 7 whole points . If i had played him id have won by 1 point lol.

[kainashi]

so new england is owning san diego and i played carolina this week and they were owned by houston. awesome.

[Ultimate Charizard]

Guess whos got San Diego on the rostet with a winning defence on the bench lol

[Drago]

Hmm, I'm not confident Washington can hold Westbrook back (Westbrook was gold for me last year), but fingers crossed!
And meanwhile, though I haven't been lighting up the league I've at least been having good luck on the sit/start calls; only left 20 points on the bench this week. I never thought my RBs would be my Achilles heel this year; they were last year's strength for the Torps. I don't care that they were completely different people.

[mr_pikachu]

Yeah, I think I'm in good shape this week. If I actually give up my 53-point lead, I'll eat Gavin's Collingwood hat.

But I'm already a touch nervous about week 6... Mr.E's putting up absolutely insane numbers. And it didn't help that I forgot to pick up Barber when he came off waivers. *kicks self*

[kainashi]

glad my studs are performing like they should.

[Ultimate Charizard]

See this is one thing ive noticed. Some of these games are getting very tight going into mondays games.

This week we have The Thunder trailing to the Torpedo's with only 1 player left to play for either team. He only needs 7 points and has been predicted 10 so its pretty much all down to his performance...
..meanwhile my match is going well 30 points up however my opponent still has 2 scores to come in. Unfortunately those are from his TE who is playing against his defence.

Some games are unfortunately not so close but i like how everything can change real quick.

Pretty early in the season for our first tie, don't you think?

[Mr.E]

I would've won in one of my other leagues if Campbell didn't horribly overthrow Moss wide-open on the game-sealing TD last night. :[

Eh, we had a tie?

But I'm already a touch nervous about week 6... Mr.E's putting up absolutely insane numbers. And it didn't help that I forgot to pick up Barber when he came off waivers. *kicks self*

If you check out the rankings right now, the beast MB3 is currently the highest-scoring RB in our league. And he's MINE!

Too bad Ronnie Brown is horrible. Stupid auto-draft, *I* never would've taken him... *grumble*

[DarkTemplarZero]

I concede that Poison Myst's team is absolutely insane for now.

[Drago]

at least i'm not last.

[kainashi]

at least i'm not last.

laugh it up, tough guy. you're going down this week.

[mr_pikachu]

Yeah, my game this week was a lot closer than it needed to be. Thank you for racking up a whopping three points, Baltimore!

And Mr.E, that's just ridiculous. How are you putting up 90+ numbers even when you're projected to take a fall? It defies comprehension. I mean, jeez, your KICKER put up more points than Peyton! What the heck?

(Of course, Stover happened to be my top scorer this week, but let's not get into that. Okay? Okay.)

[kainashi]

uh oh, it's down to brees vs. colston with me up 2 points. please have a big game finally, brees, and not to colston.

[kainashi]

thanks, brees! :emo:

[Drago]

Who says the idiot who cut MB3 can't catch a break.

[Mr.E]

And Mr.E, that's just ridiculous. How are you putting up 90+ numbers even when you're projected to take a fall? It defies comprehension. I mean, jeez, your KICKER put up more points than Peyton! What the heck?

/flex

I'm rockin' it. \m/

[Ultimate Charizard]

And once again i leave my high scorers on the bench lol.
Still wouldnt have won, but it would have been closer.

If things keep up like this, we're gonna have a big fight over that coveted fourth playoff spot.

[kainashi]

seems to be a battle for last place too, which i will most likely win. brees better come back better than he's been after this bye week.

[Drago]

A man with 172 points after three weeks of play should not be holding fourth place. That being said, I'm not complaining. Any chance we could start the playoffs now?

[Ultimate Charizard]

Here we go again. Too many injuries to handle and when i have 2 of my Quarterbacks playing against each other i choose McNabb who then decides to play a shocker getting Sacked 8 times before the end of the 3rd while Manning decides hes gonna be on form this week.

Looks like i aint stopping any Unbeaten streak this week.

[kainashi]

and the winning streak begins.

Well, you do have three players left... I'm actually slightly concerned, as I've seen Chad put up some 20+ numbers before. Then again, considering that your other two guys are Maroney and Watson, I'm probably still safe. ^_^;


P.S. Manning? You mean Eli? 6 points for a QB is not "on form," man. Now, Roethlisberger's 13 is fairly legitimate, but...

[Ultimate Charizard]

I posted that before id seen the actual scores and was just going by what i saw in the game.
Either way McNabb went down to the Record number of Sackings in a game. Im surprised i didnt get a negative from him.

[mr_pikachu]

Aside from giving you negative run yardage and keeping you from throwing passes, sacks don't do anything to hurt your score (unless, of course, the QB fumbles). This big thing they can do is allow the opposing defense to rack up all kinds of points. Unfortunately, nobody owns the Giants D, so the whopping 27 points went to waste. So sad.

[Ultimate Charizard]

Someone has them now lol.

I know its unlikely theyre gonna repeat that sort of form but they do seem a team that like to take advantage of any mistake the opposition offence make.

[mr_pikachu]

Week four is complete! Another undefeated team bites the dust...

And I'm now openly seeking a WR via trade. Trying to avoid bye weeks 6, 7, and 10 if I can... any offers?

[kainashi]

weird. everyone's voting for me this week so far!

edit: i'd trade moss if you're interested in him. o_o

[Mr.E]

The only way for a QB to get negative rushing yards is to be caught behind the line on a play clearly designed as a QB run. Sacks are not counted as negative rushing yardage toward the QB, just toward the team's total yardage. (Hence why QBs typically have higher rushing averages than RBs, too.) Of course, getting sacked still prevents them from throwing potential receptions for yardage/TD points.

Seriously, we should just stop the league now and declare me the winner.
