View Full Version : MoFo Fantasy Football 2009: Week 6

Ahhhh Yeahhhh! The air is much better up here in the middle of the pack no? Yes. That's right ladies and germs PW is Movin' on up! Please be so kind as to clicky the brief musical interlude so's you can also enjoy my little reverie.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OAMDrQZeRA&feature=related
Yes indeed. Tis a fine thing when a plan starts coming together and now to see my little Odd Squad going out there and beginning to really put on a show. Well, it does my heart good. And now to really top things off a one Mr. Steve Smith is joining the Odd Squad along with Tashard Choice's running mate Felix (maybe I'll stay healthy for at least one game this year) Jones! Good times. I now have global MoFo domination firmly in my sights and all I need is for everyone that plays me from here on out to simply score less points than I and I'll be in business. Deal? Sweet.
And now onto more important things as our cute little Badger already pointed out PW swung and missed on his game between Gadsden and the Hired Goons. Oh well, nobodies perfect. I am however pretty damn close I reckon. I'm not even getting tired of this yet either. How cool is that? Long story short it was another 5-2 week for me and by my count I stand at 24-11. Not bad, not bad at all. Obviously we need a sportsbook.
What's that you say? Who's going to win this week? Well, allow me to retort.
PW's Odd Squad vs 11 Angry Men
Oh boy. So here I am faced with the choice of taking my little Odd Squad who are obviously not going to lose another game all year and the Angry Men who are on a spectacular roll and while they may not be quite as angry as they once were (because of the winning you know) they are still just rolling along and basically just dismantling every team they have played with the exception of one week so far. And yet, they won that game too. What to do, what to do. If I just look at the matchups it appears on paper that I have a pretty favorable schedule compared to Yoda and yet this season has proven more so than maybe any year I can remember that the NFL is the most unpredictable league, like, ever. So, I'm predicting that whoever scores the most points in our little game will win. Easy Peasy Japaneasy.
My pick: 11 Angry Men, unless I score more points... then I win. Yeah.
DaBears vs. Flash
DaBears fresh off a win last week look to continue their winning ways this week against team Flash. Flash has several key guys on bye this week, including Peyton Manning who looks to be perhaps the MVP of the NFL as of right now. Tough luck buddy. Yahoo has DaBears as the heavy favorite and rightly so. Flash is making some nice moves though and his recent addition of Bell may help him quite bit down the road and perhaps this week as well because its possible Bell will see some goal line work instead of Thomas for New Orleans, which would make me happy because I have to face Thomas this week. Still though I don't think it will be enough but may make the game a lot more interesting than Yahoo is predicting it right now.
My pick: DaBears = Sausage and Ditka
Hired Goons vs. The Taterators
Interesting Game. Hired Goons has put a nice little 3 game winning streak of his own put together after starting off 0-2 and now is right in the thick of things, The Taters are still vying for their first win of the season. Could this be the week? Tater is getting some more running back help from Team Tongo and he also has Ryan Grant on his bench who could provide the spark he needs to get over the proverbial hump. Hard to pick against a streak though.
My pick: Hired Goons, "Gooney Goo Goo Gus!"
Gadsden Flag vs. I-L-M-F
F%@# Sims- Walker! Was the cry heard around the basements and ground floor apartments where most fantasy footballers reside. And yet Gadsden Flag is still right in the middle of things so all is not lost. While on the flipside Bobby's free fall continues. While I appreciate that he does appear to take the time to at least update his roster before Sunday I'm afraid that just isn't going to be good enough to make any noise in this very competitive league. If he doesn't start making some moves he may be awarded the first ever Cone of Shame award.
My pick: Gadsden Flag, in the dark
The Replicants vs. TONGO
What can be better for an ailing team than a week versus team TONGO and his ever changing lineup? The 'Bots get most of their guys back this week and are big favorites right now without Megatron who may or may not play on Sunday. We probably won't know until right before game time but Seds may not even need him, we'll see. TONGO's team will look quite a bit different (again!) by Sunday so Seds may do a little tweaking of his own to adjust.
My pick: 'Bots, back in the saddle again
Team Darcy vs. Slug's Sweeties
Oh yeah, now this is what fantasy football is all about! Wives not speaking to their husbands. Uncomfortable silences. Steely stares and lots of cold rooms. Sluggo looks to keep on the winning track but to do so he'll have to take out his lovely wife who is absolutely rolling folks. We'll know by Sunday if Darcy's silent treatment game plan worked, if Slug suddenly benches half his team in order to allow Team Darcy to waltz to 6-0. I'm not holding my breath, unless perhaps she goes so far as to spike Sluggo's Taco Bell taco sauce and in a fit of delirium, he cuts half his team. She may not have to however because judging by Slug's new avatar he's already got his mind firmly set on Thanksgiving and turkey so she may very well get past him by blackmailing him with the threat of no turkey for T-day. We shall see, we shall see.
My pick: Team Darcy, biscuits and gravy!
Wolverines vs. Beantown Champs
Last week Beantown mentioned that he was piloting a sinking ship. Maybe, maybe not. Things don't get any easier for him this week that's for certain. Wolvie's heavy hitters are all pretty much back this week and are looking to keep themselves firmly planted in the 3 hole in hopes that perhaps Team Darcy or the 11 Angry Men drop a game.
My pick: Wolverines, "It's kind of strange, isn't it? How the mountains pay us no attention at all. You laugh or you cry... The wind just keeps on blowing." - Jed Eckert
And there you have it MoFo's, be kind and rewind!

Sims-Walker...grrrr :mad:
:D
Tongos grumpy review i.e. 1-4 my balls!
11 Angry Men Vs PWs Odd Squad
Whoever scores the most points? Aw hell please let me get some table scraps from this game! Point fiesta will be upon us when these two highest scoring teams not only vie to beat each other, but beat my highest score in one game record set last year. Projected scores - Angry Men 118.81 & Odd Squad 132.63 Deciding factor?! The Patriots are up against Tenn and Angry Mens Saints against the Giants
Odd Squad wins, and head explodes from ego boost. Next weeks review begins with PW choosing Right Said Freds "Im too sexy" Im too sexy for this shirt. So sexy it huuuurts...
TONGO Vs The Replicants
In a shocking move on my part I made 2 trades this week! Anyway Jamal Lewis is up against Pittsburgh, but Caddy & Julius have scored less against weaker teams Watch the both of them get 20 each for Flash those #%&@!! Nate Burleson will be a good addition to my roster, but am I going to beat the Reps?! hell no im getting my ass whooped like a narc at a biker rally
The Replicants duplicate a monster truck vs Bambi scenario Wait! Oakland could play McNabb tough! :rolleyes:
Hired Goons Vs The Taterators
I predict a upset! Tater you better change your lineup! Do not pull a Bobby cause unlike him you post here, moderate here, and we will use the peer pressure! Willis McGahees best point days are behind him as Ray Rice is the primary RB in Baltimore. Inconsistent WRs plague Goons (Eddie Royal & Terrel Owens).
Tater fries the Goons!
Wolverines Vs Beantown Champs
With Forte added into Wolvies lineup both projected points are about dead even. The Champs Matt Ryan and Jenkins are back! (Psst! Beantown play Bush over Chester) I gotta go with the Wolverines because Chester Taylor & Leon Washington look like glaring weaknesses. Now that Ive said that theyll score up too 20 points each (see Mewelde Moore)
Wolverines win in a two page spread comic book jargon
Gadsed Flag Vs I.L.M.F.
Bllah blah blah
Gadsden wins because the other team couldnt make it
Da Bears Vs Flash
The dreaded Colts Bye week! If history is any indicator in this situation Flash will be on track to score 200 points (See Angry Men last week). Sorry, but no.
Da Bears eat Flash
Team Darcy Vs Slugs Sweeties
I mispoke when saying Angry Men Vs Odd Squad was the game of the week cause actually this one is. I didnt know Slug & Darcy were married?! Well someones sleeping on the couch after this one. The ONLY reason Ill go with Darcy is because of Slugs 2 WRs on same team being played. Its a weakness that hurt him last...uh.....er well it will hurt him this week. Breaston and Boldin are up against the 9th highest rated pass defense inthe Seahawks. ooooo! aaaaah!
Team Darcy wins, and both her and Slug due to the divorce take Jon & Kates airtime on Entertainment Tonight. I wish
Later :)

I think I deserve a gimme after last week. ;)
In Bobby's defense, he's actually done a fine job of updating his lineup; everyone assumes otherwise because he always seems to wait until mid-Saturday, but his only lapse was playing LT in week 2.
Re: my matchup with PW. Yeah, I'm in big trouble this week. I've got the Saints going up against the Giants, and he's got Brady and Welker going against the Titans. Rice against Minnesota isn't just the only bad matchup on his end; it's the only one that isn't very good.
I've got Witten on a bye, too. None of PW's usual starters are on a bye. D'oh! So, twice in a row, I have significant bye week players out, against an opponent with no significant players out, and both weeks my opponent has a Top 5 QB going against the Titan pass defense. It's a friggin' gauntlet. I'm mainly just pointing this out in advance to explain what I'm pretty sure is going to be my first loss.
Anyway, if I had to put money on this, I'd definitely bet against myself. To win, I probably need a solid day out of Brees, about 45-50 points combined out of all three of my backs, and I need a sub-10 day out of either Rice or Shockey, possibly both. This is assuming nobody completely blanks, or completely goes off, of course (wherefore art thou, Miles Austin? To bye to not to bye?).

10-15-09, 08:47 PM
I know Bobby is updating his roster, I'm just busting his balls. He hasn't disappeared completely like he did last season but he isn't exactly on top of it either yeah? Its cool though, Tater is going to knock someone off this year and it might as well be him.
Da Bears Vs Flash
The dreaded Colts Bye week! If history is any indicator in this situation Flash will be on track to score 200 points (See Angry Men last week). Sorry, but no.
Da Bears eat Flash
Yeah, I might get "eaten", but I sure hope to give some heartburn and trots to those Bears. I mean we all know what they do in the woods anyway. :)

I sense a loss in my near future.

Siiiigh. Well I think Ive hit the end of my road this week for trading. Mentally exhausting stuff.
Im intrigued and excited about one of my new acquisitions in Jamal Lewis. In his prime he was second too none, and that includes Adrian Peterson. Hes older and gimpier, but he ran 100 yds in that Buffallo Ice Bowl, and singlehandedly (with the kicker but they dont count) beat the Bills. The Browns Derek Anderson is utterly useless, Jerome Harrison already been passed by Jamal in stats, and I hope hes an earner cause he seems to be their only glimmer of hope. I really liked Cadillac Williams but the Bucs schedule is just too damn tough, and they arent.
I just traded Carolinas Steve Smith for Nate Burleson. Whats truly sad is I had Burleson on my roster at one time, probably dropped him for some Derp, and now I traded Steve Smith for him back! Patience - I aint got it. Poor Powdered Water barely made the deal happen cause Burlesons been earning, not consistent, but ALOT more than Smith. I hope Smith makes tons of points for PW because Ill klnow then he didnt only because he was on my team.
Oh **** Ive become the Buccaneers! Every player that leaves my franchise wins a Super Bowl! AUUUGH!

I already accepted the trade, I'm at the mercy of Yahoo to expedite it now.
No Tate you have Grant on your bench now. The trade will only put Caldwell in Washingtons normal slot, but only if you choose. The rest you can change now. Maybe you dont even want to play Caldwell Idk, but Washingtons been disappointing.
spudracer
10-16-09, 10:30 AM
Ahh, gotcha. You know my roster better than I do. :laugh:
I'll have to make those changes when I get home.
WBadger
10-16-09, 04:40 PM
Ah man, I'd rather go against him without Ryan Grant.
Naturally. Check out how solid and consistent he's been: 13.7, 13.8, 11.4, 14.1. Pretty reliable, and I can't imagine he's not going to put up similar numbers against Detroit.
Meanwhile, Pierre Thomas was a bit limited in practice, and now there's a chance Mike Bell steals some carries, including some near the goal line. Ugh. I didn't like my chances even before this news.
I still think I've gotta play Thomas, given that this isn't a new injury and he's been great even playing with it the last couple of weeks, and I don't have any other great options going with Cotchery likely out (which moves Hightower into the Flex spot for me). Looking very ominous this week. I think I'll put up a very respectable score (100-110), but I don't think respectable's going to get it done this week. I don't think I can win without at least 120, barring something crazy.
Even though I am pretty much a big time “lose” in the league, I am having a great time. I can make myself feel better by saying my rec really should be 3/2, but who wants to hear that whinny crap? Not me. It certainly has changed how I watch football and just about any game on tv has a reason for me to watch it, where in the past if it was not one of “my” teams then I was not too interested. I am actually thinking about getting NFL Sunday tic next year just because of this. Cannot really afford it right now otherwise would go ahead and take that plunge. Hopefully next year things will start looking better but either way I got the internet and as long as it is avail I will be a part of FF. Ya know I have another team on another league and I am in 2nd place, but I just do not really care about it that much. The managers there are never online and one of the reasons I am 2nd is because they never show up to make changes, where is the fun in that? I think it would be cool to have two leagues on here with diff rules – I actually have an idea of having “team” teams where two members control certain positions. Oh well sry for rambling and I definitely do not wanna step on any toes by suggesting anything, just ideas floating ‘round in my head for next year. This year is not even half over yet either. Anyway on to this weeks stuff:
:up: 5-0 http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m203/jakbenmbie/th_darcy.gif VS http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m203/jakbenmbie/th_slug-1.jpg 3-2
Well someone certainly is gonna be a Turkey in this game. If Slugs could get those turkey legs on Westbrook he might have a go at it, but Darcy has got to be the best "rounded" team on the league imo. I think this one will be pretty close, but the Mon night game will be the diff.
My Pick: Darcy makes some stuffing and gravy and has an early
Thanksgiving.
3-2 http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m203/jakbenmbie/th_goons.jpg VS http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m203/jakbenmbie/th_tater.png 0-5 :up:
The spuds have a chance and this will be a good game, almost as good as a baked potato with cheeder cheese on top. I think Big Ben comes out with a big game and makes the diff.
My Pick: Taters loose the goose egg.
1-4 http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m203/jakbenmbie/th_tongo-1.jpg VS http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m203/jakbenmbie/th_REPLICANT.jpg 3-2 :up:
Will be a fun game to watch since some of my old players are in Tongs lineup. I think many of us can say that ;). However it is time for Maurice to break out
My Pick: The Replicants go apeshix all over Tongs.
5-0 http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m203/jakbenmbie/11.png?t=1255806973 VS http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m203/jakbenmbie/PW.jpg?t=1255812983 2-3 :up:
This seems like it will be a good one and both teams may score big, but I think PW will score more biggerer. I am hoping Bell will take away some points from The Angry ones, not because it is personal, just because I have Bell in my lineup this week :).
My Pick: PW's Oddities pop the "O" of The Angry guys. Well unless he has one player who scores almost 50!!!!!
:up: 4-1 http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m203/jakbenmbie/wolvie.jpg?t=1255846291 VS http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m203/jakbenmbie/beabtown.jpg?t=1255846339 3-2
This looks to be a nailbiter, but I think Wolvies pull it out with Mendenhall having a big day.
My Pick: Wolverines, but ony just.
:up: 2-3 http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m203/jakbenmbie/gads.jpg?t=1255846497 VS http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m203/jakbenmbie/ilove.gif?t=1255846526 1-4
Gads has this one unless some quick change can be made.
My Pick: Gads in a runaway
:up: 1-4 http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m203/jakbenmbie/FLASH.jpg?t=1255846714 VS http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m203/jakbenmbie/bear.jpg?t=1255846743 2-3
My bye week. Not much more to say other than being 1-4 not sure how much of a diff it makes. Anyway I hope to at least make this one close - like 68 to 110, that is close right? Strangely enough we have similar avatars, old men and light coming from their hands. I think my avatar is more "Flashy", therefore for that reason only I win.
My Pick: Flash zaps Bears
Only one crazy prediction this week: I win.

10-17-09, 07:33 AM
Great post, Pumpkinhead :D
I completely agree - this is THE fantasy league. I'd also love to see a MOFO1 & MOFO2 league next year.
Don't get Chris started.... ;)
Meanwhile, this is THE fantasy league, because MoFo kicks so much ass, it only follows that a MoFo league would also kick much ass.
Powdered Water
10-17-09, 11:12 AM
Still... would be fun though yeah?
Just in case people are really itching for another league I created one
league id # - 1061636
league - MoFo Breakfast Club
password - movieforums
I sent emails to everyone but Bobby & Jay since theirs arent public. IF theres enough interest I suggest just 1 thread for all the MoFo Breakfast Club needs for the season. That keeps this league the priority, and doesnt clutter the Site Stuff section of the forum.
Also I could care less about being Commisioner so if anyone wants it you got it. If not Ill do it.
The draft date is Fri Oct 23 2009 so if nobody wants in or theres not enough I think the league would be dissolved.
Edit in - How about we all play one particular team in the NFL. Dibbs on the Vikings!
WBadger
10-17-09, 11:47 AM
Why are we doing this, again?
It would be a 2nd league to whoever wants it. NOT to replace the current league. Sorry guys I weant trying to cause a ruckus or confusion.
Powdered Water
10-17-09, 12:01 PM
I'm ready for some football. Gonna whip me some little green booty.
Regarding the 2nd league lets pick a particular team for each person. We would each just have players from one franchise. I want the Vikings!
That way it would be different yet plug us into our fav team more. No question as to who 7th Son is gonna pick
WBadger
10-17-09, 12:19 PM
You are an awful human being for picking the Vikings.
Anyway, I don't think I'm going to participate in the second league, because I am currently in three leagues as it is, and it's kind of late in the season for this. But thanks for inviting me.
Powdered Water
10-17-09, 12:30 PM
Yeah, I'm in 4 leagues myself. I think I'll pass too. I think this would be fun idea to kick around for next year though. Yoda and I already talked a bit about this before the season kicked off this year and I think it would be fun to do another league. Maybe one that is completely different, like TD only or something.
I remember PW talking about a separate keeper league, which is intriguing (though it would pretty much kill me, because every move is far more important in such a league).

10-17-09, 06:09 PM
Well it's Week 6 folks and that means....wait, hold on a sec, I need to turn the heat up, it's only 38 degrees and can you believe, it actually snowed the other day? Ya, S-N-O-W. In October. Not even funny. Anyway, back to Week 6....another work week is over and its time for FOOTBALL!!! Finally! Well some of this weekends match-ups are gonna be influenced by the weather, at least up here in the Northeast, so taking that into consideration, here are my Week 6 Picks:
Team Darcy vs. Slug's Sweeties -
Now heres a pickled match-up before it even starts! How does one win when facing the one person they're willing to sacrifice everything for to make them happy? For some its a lose/lose situation, for someone like me however, you do whats necessary and sleep in the spare bedroom for a few days while the other gets over the major azz kickin' they just received at the hands of your DOMINATING team, because being married is one thing but this is football people and you just don't roll over and give-up in football. Unless your the Raiders, but other than that, you never quit.
So who will be sleeping in the spare room at Darcy and Slug's house you ask? Well....
Team Darcy of course. Even if she doesn't win, she still wins. Thats the rule in my house at least...
TONGO vs. The Replicants -
Manning vs. McNabb. Benson vs. MJD. Mason vs. Rice. Great head-to-head match-ups going at it in this meeting of Fantasy Football addicts. Tongo, with his never ending “tango of trading” dance, has created another formidable roster to go up against the Replicants faltering squad and may actually pull-off an upset, if the planets align properly that is. Tongo's team is strong but has the harder defensive match-ups and McNabb is facing the Raiders, whom as I said previously are a bunch of quitting losers, so he should put up stellar numbers facing Oaklands nonexistant secondary. Manning however, is facing the Saints 2.0 version defense and won't be scoring at will like last week, so Tongo has to hope his Benson/Lewis RB combo can put up enough points to counter whatever Jones-Drew tallies working against the Rams “Wall of Wussies” defensive linemen. Tongo faces an uphill battle, but can pull off a win with a little luck and if the Reps big guns hit major stumbling blocks. Good luck, ya big furry ape!
Luck? LUCK? The Replicants don't need no stinking luck!
Gadsden Flag vs. I-L-M-F -
Even if the Fox fills those empty slots with LT and Brady Quinn, I don't think that'll be enough to beat Gadsden Flags team this week. Quinn isn't a starter and LT can't carry his team all by himself. He needs a miracle.
Gadsden Flag goes 3-3 on his way to the playoffs
Hired Goons vs. The Tateraters -
WOW!! Less than a point separates these two teams according to Yahoo's projections and this very well could be the toughest match of the week. Both QBs are facing very favorable match-ups and have potential for astronomical numbers. The Goons have a slight edge at the WR positions, with Jennings facing Detroit and Tateraters has the edge at RBs for the same reason. This is too tough to call. I'm flipping a coin. seriously. Goons get heads, Taters tails. * flip *......
Tails it is. Tater gets his first win...or does he??
Da Bears vs. Flash -
This doesn't look like a very good week for Flash. Trent Edwards facing the Jets is just about as bad as it gets for a head-to-head match-up. The Bills are just horrible on offense and the Jets defense is gonna be looking for major payback this week and the Bills are gonna get pounded. Edwards could put up negative numbers for the Flash. And the rest of the positional match-ups go in Bears favor, except maybe Defense, but that probably won't matter in the end anyway.
Da Bears win da game.
11 Angry Men vs. PW's Odd Squad -
Now whudda thunk that the Men could lose to Odd Squad with the #1 FFL QB Brees in the line-up, accompanied by 2 of his big guns in Pierre Thomas and Marques Colston starting in his other WR & RB slots? Well this week its very possible he falls from the top of the undefeated hilltop at the hands of PW's finely crafted Odd Squad. Tom Brady needs to step it up this weekend and show how the Patriots “F-22” Offense is supposed to handle, by throwing to Wes Welker for some major yardage and a possible TD or 2. Fitzgerald looks posed to make a difference for Arizona against the Seahawks and should collect a chunk of points at the expense of the Seattle secondary. Angry Men has the edge in the RB slots and I think the Defense match-ups are a wash, so it comes down to how the Saints fair against the Giants, and I think that will be a lower scoring affair that won't help the Mens chances of going 6 and 0. With most of PW's team facing games in the Northeast, the Men have to hope the cold and crappy weather effects Brady, Welker and Jones enough to squeak out a victory. I am personally hoping Brady blows-up and goes for 340-400 yards and 3 TDs with Welker getting 80-100 of those yards and 1 of those TDs. That being said...
The Odd Squad WINS! The Odd Squad WINS!! Can you believe it, the Odd Squad WINS!!
Beantown Champs vs. Wolverines -
In another close fight this weekend, we find the Champs facing the Wolverines, and both teams watching the Chicago/Atlanta game intensely, one hoping the Bears crush the Falcons and one hoping for the opposite. I think LTIZZY has the edge though, with better RBs on her team and I think the Jets Defense is gonna get a lot of points against the Bills, so she has that going for her too. If Cooley explodes on KC and somehow Washington overproduces against the Bills, I stand a chance, but its doubtful.
Wolverines go all beserker on the Champs
Well there you have it folks, my Week 6 predictions. Good Luck to Everyone!
Da Bears vs. Flash -
This doesn't look like a very good week for Flash. Trent Edwards facing the Jets is just about as bad as it gets for a head-to-head match-up. The Bills are just horrible on offense and the Jets defense is gonna be looking for major payback this week and the Bills are gonna get pounded. Edwards could put up negative numbers for the Flash. And the rest of the positional match-ups go in Bears favor, except maybe Defense, but that probably won't matter in the end anyway.
Edwards is gonna be on fire...;).
Powdered Water
10-17-09, 09:40 PM
Well, he's definitely due.
Well the "fire" might be JET fuel all over his arse.
WBadger
10-17-09, 10:16 PM
Yeah, but he did pretty good against the Dolphins last week.
64 yards and a touchdown ain't too shabby for Fantasy Football.
Interesting, about Brady and the weather. I hadn't thought of that. Looks like it could be rough; high of 45, up to an inch of rain, chance of rain 90%, and winds in the 20-30 MPH range. That's a tiny glimmer of hope.
It's sunday......
Got Football?

10-18-09, 10:56 AM
Yeah Yods, the game is gonna be a wet one here in New England. You might just get lucky today because throwing in this weather is gonna suck, so I'd expect a ground battle and short yardage plays at Gillette Stadium this afternoon. That being said, I've decided to forgo my tickets for the game and watch it on the big screen at home. All warm and cozy...and dry...;)

10-18-09, 11:27 AM
Hmmm, I may play Hasselbeck... decisions, decisions.
WBadger
10-18-09, 11:58 AM
I've switched Terrell Owens for Kevin Walter today.
I think thats a good call Badger. Im waffling awful on playing Eli Manning Vs the Saints or Brett Favre Vs Ravens.
Ravens are weak against the pass, strong against the run, but Baltimores gonna be sticking Favre like a crash test dummy because of that. Also will the Ravens lose 3 straight?
Mannings foot is better, but theyre gonna have to run the ball to keep Drew from having time with it. Plus the Saints are strong vs the pass.
WBadger

Ravens pass defense is weak? I don't think so.
Both pass defenses are strong, but if I were you I'd play Eli Manning.
Judgment call on Baltimore's pass defense; it's ranked 26th, but sometimes those numbers are inflated by good run defenses, because teams abandon the run altogether.
Anyway, Favre/Manning is a really tough call. I'd probably go based on what the final word is on Manning and whether or not his injury is nagging at him at all.

26th? I honestly didn't know their pass defense was ranked so low. My mistake.
Manning looked perfectly fine last week and actually threw two touchdowns, I doubt his injury would bother him today.
Ive gone back n forth, but Eli's my play. He said he feels 90%, and Favres #'s might be decieving since hes never been pressured this year like he will today.
I woulda picked Farve, but not by much. No reasoning really, just think he will score a bit more than Manning this week, of course we all know how well I have picked things this year. :p
Anyway goodluck to everyone except the Bearsn ;), looking forward to another fun Sunday of FF.
I think that's a really sound choice, TONGO. I think Manning seems well enough to go that way, and you make a good point about Favre and pressure. It's a very close call either way.
I notice that people have dropped two decent bye week TE replacements...after it's too late for me to use them to replace Witten. Thanks for nothing, guys. :p

Hey good luck Chris, should be fun. I'mma play Brady, Hasslebeck may have a better day but I just can't pull the trigger.
Yeah, I dig. There comes a point where you've got to play the most talented players and let things fall where they may. I think it's got less to do with the decision, and more to do with the way we'd feel if we benched a starter and then saw them produce anyway.
Good luck! I really think you're gonna take this; too many good matchups to overcome. But I'd love to be wrong. Should be exciting.
Let's get ready to rumble!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No, not yet! I have not adequately rumble-proofed my computer!

Tom Brady just threw his fifth touchdown and it isn't even the end of the half.
Good win, spud.

My team had a good day.
Ditto - they all had BBQ and watched your guys. ;) -- GJ PW.
Looks like the standings are going to tighten up some.

Huzzah! My team has scored their first win! Of course, there is still one more player for Hired Goons, but I think it's safe to go ahead and throw a ticker-tape parade. :)
Cigars all around!
Yeah, I didn't stand much of a chance, as it turned out. Just in the wrong place at the wrong time, as PW racked up 216 points. I put up 149 or so, so I'm happy with my own team's performance, so whaddya gonna do? On the bright side, Drew Brees lit up the NFL's #1 pass defense, so I'm feeling pretty good about him going forward.
In case anyone's wondering, that 216 is a new league record by a fairly wide margin, and the combined ~365 points is a new league record, as well. I'm not gonna do the calculations necessary to find this out, as well, but I wouldn't be shocked if this were a new record for combined points among all teams, too. Six of the 14 teams topped 120 points, five topped 130, and four topped 140. And Seds figures to add to that with V. Jackson and K. Moreno going tonight. It's been one very crazy week.
Looks like, for the second week in a row, all the games are settled heading into Monday, as well. Big congrats to a few of ya'll: to PW for all of the above, to Spud for his first win, and to Slug for winning the MoFo Marriage Bowl 2009.

Gonna be real quiet around Sluggo's house for a day or two I reckon.
Victory = totally worth it.
Easy for me to say, though.

Too bad kick returns for touchdowns aren't worth more points. :mad:
Eddie Royal already has a kick return and a punt return for a touchdown, methinks that should be at least 40 points. :D

It's ok...maybe next week. :D Meanwhile, I'm positively radiant after my win. I doubt I can replicate the same results for Week 7, but it's all in good fun. Had I been a real coach, let's just say I should be looking for a new job (just for safety's sake).
Good job on your win Taterman!

I agree. I do think you will win, however, but who knows.

I'm pretty sure Hired Goons said something similar prior to our matchup. Then Sims-Walker decided to miss curfew for a quicky. :D
Okay, I'm done bashing on Mr. Walker - he kicked ass for me this week.
Ok, no more mr nice guy, I am winning the rest of my games and that is just the way it is.
:)
Big congrats to a few of ya'll: to PW for all of the above, to Spud for his first win, and to Slug for winning the MoFo Marriage Bowl 2009.
Thank you for that.
Actually Mr.Darcy has been very cool about it.
The only thing of note is, my ass seems to be on fire a lot since the game.
My meals have been really spicy.
Gonna be real quiet around Sluggo's house for a day or two I reckon.
I need more Pepto.
