MikesVikes Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I had a great regular season in every single league that I'm in. My best W-L was 10-2 and my worst was 8-5 which was good for a division championship. ...and then came the playoffs. I pulled a Detroit Lion. In the 10-2 league, I was the #1 seed going against #16 seed. I lost. That is how it went everywhere. I have Marion Barber to blame there along with an opponent that had 2 or 3 players that suddenly exploded. In other leagues I blame Clinton Portis. Did anyone else get Barbered or Portised? Name your bums if you have em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euphy Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 From my draft: Studs: Adrian Peterson, Fitz, and Rodgers Duds: Colston, Winslow, Edgerin James, and Leinart From free agent/trades: Stud: Antonio Bryant, John Carlson, and DeAngelo Williams Dud: McClain, Ahmad Green, Fred Jackson to name a few Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTed46 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Really? You expected anything from them? . If anything McClain is a stud for emergency bye week filling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorttynaz Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Where do I start? Wayne, Colston, A Peterson, S Jackson - STILL venting about getting knocked out by 3 points. Would have beaten ANYONE else.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_am_the_swammi Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 In my main local: SJax and Barber...back in Week 1, I thought I'd be set at RB come playoff time...how things change. Viva la France made up for Barber, but SJax didn't deliver. Other two leagues, I had a bye....and in both, I will need Westbrook & T. Jones to be every bit the studs they have been these last couple weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euphy Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Really? You expected anything from them? Yep, actually thought Green was going to be at least the goal line guy. But he cant even get suited! Fred Jackson was just a winger in case Lynch got hurt or benched or suspended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazinib1 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I got burned by Peyton Manning last week. #2 seed and lost by 8 points. In other leagues, I just flat out got beat by better squads full of hot players. Still in 3 leagues and hoping to ride Viva La France to the chip in all of them.

John Crapper Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I'm totally expecting T.O., Moss, and Westbrook to screw me in the 1st playoffs and that'll be that, but I hope not For those who have been playing this game for years, is it always something? I haven't been playing that long and just really remember last year being the year of injuries, and this year being a year where at least 75% of studs are average, at best. Is this the way it always is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpinalTapp Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I think I set some kind of record for futility this week. The teams that Forte, M.Turner, Wayne, R.Moss, A.Boldin, and Gates play for scored a total of 26 touchdowns last week. These players - my studs - score 1 out of these 26 touchdowns. Colts put up 5 offensive TDs - none to Wayne. Gates watches without a single catch as the Bolts drop 34 on the Raiders. Boldin can't find the end zone once as the Cards rack up 34 points. I understand some of these TDs were defensive...but you get the point. On top of this....the Titans DST held the Browns to zero TDs and under 150 yds up till 2 minutes left in the game but somehow put up a pedestrian 17 pts. Oh yeah...and MBIII stayed home. I'd say I had one of the most statistically improbable bad/dud fantasy performances of all time considering how many TDs my players teams racked up. The chances of only getting 1 out of these 26 TDs for my fantasy players with the stud lineup I had was probably 1 in about 1 million. sucks for me.

efi4eye Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Reggie Wayne, Ronnie Brown and Lee Evans all let me down bigtime. I traded for Ronnie early in the season just because his playoff schedule was so easy, yet he still didn't do crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I traded for Ronnie early in the season just because his playoff schedule was so easy, yet he still didn't do crap. Ha ha ha! There was this guy in my league that traded away: Brandon Marshall for Ronnie Brown and Laverneus Coles. AND DeAngelo Williams and Chad Johnson for Colston and Edgerin James - I got a great deal on dumping these two guys. Ha ha ha!!!! Funny thing is, the guy made the playoffs even though him pretty much ended up with the short end of the stick on both trades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
