The pity thread

I don't usually do this, and get annoyed when others do. However, I'm going to vent in hopes that it turns things around for me:

 

League 1

 

QB - Had to pick-up and start Bradford, as my two QB's were Cutler & Vick......so far, 0 TD's

RB - Jones-Drew had a TD called back for holding and just came off the field injured

RB - Charles - numbers, no TD's

WR/TE - Boldin, Garcon, Collie, Clark - :wacko:

 

League 2

 

RB - Charles & DeAngelo - Nada

WR - Inserted Collie late over Sims-Walker :tup:

TE - Clark - Nada

 

Playing against Nicks in both leagues. Getting killed in both leagues, and having embarrassing point totals.

 

:tup:

With all the injuries and inconsistency from week to week this year, it's generally been a more frustrating and less fun FFL year for me thus far. Could also be because two of my 10-team leagues went 12-team against my wishes this year.

RBs - Foster and Addai (Forte on the bench)

 

WRs - Jennings, Ocho, Clayton

 

Fortunately I also started Shaun Hill and Atlanta defense, so all is not lost (my opponent's line-up is pretty week, as well).

 

Oh yeah, I also dropped Brandon Jackson and Mike Thomas last week.

Playing against Matt Forte in both my leagues.

 

No TDs for any of my skill players so far except one for Ryan. Charles can't score. SJax can't score. Best can't score. S.Smith can't score. Ochocinco can't score. Driver can't score. Mike Thomas can't score, but MSW decided pull his head out of his ass this week.

 

Harumph. :wacko:

I just need to vent. In my main league (14-team PPR redraft) I am 0-4. My bad luck:

 

Week 1: I lose Kolb, I have Collie on my bench and my opponent has Cutler, who had his best game of the year. Loss. No big deal, now I know who to start every week.

 

Week 2: My opponent trades for Jahvid Best a couple days before our game. He has a monster game, his best so far. I score the third-highest points. My opponent scores the second-highest. Loss.

 

Week 3: My opponent has Flacco and Boldin, who connect for three TDs. He also has Roy Williams, who, along with Boldin, post their highest point totals in at least two years. I score the fourth-most points that week. My opponent scores second-most.

 

Week 4: Due to bye weeks, half my 10-man roster is out. I am forced to start Michael Bush, Mike Tolbert, Ladell Betts and Blair White. With Kolb out and Josh Freeman on a bye, I trade for Cutler. Concussion. Despite all this, I actually post a respectable score -- except my opponent started LT (2 TDs), Addai (2 TDs), Calvin Johnson (2 TDs), Hillis (TD), Lance Moore (TD) and Jermichael Finley (TD). LT, Addai and Calvin all post their highest scores of the year. My opponent still has Tom Brady to play and should easily post the weekly high score. Loss.

 

I don't expect anyone to give a diaper dirt, but the past three weeks have been brutal, just watching guys like Jahvid Best and Roy Williams come out of nowhere to post these career games. I am fifth-highest scorer in a 14-team league and I'm 0-4.

 

Added my quote from another thread.

 

Week 5: My opponent is forced to start Ray Rice and Willis McGahee due to byes and injuries. Rice gets 160 all-purpose yards and his first two TDs against one of the league's best rush defenses, and McGahee also has his highest point total this year. He also has Brandon Lloyd, who has 135 yds, 2 TDs for his highest point total this season.

 

I give up,

Misplayed rb and te too, but not by enough to win.

 

This week Ray Rice, Michael Bush, and TO all decide to have parties on my bench as my ENTIRE TEAM decides not to find the end zone (including QB). :wacko:

 

 

Sorry for the rant.
