So, who's gone in week 1?

HoP
Rudi - new to team
Curtis - out awhile
Smith - not a starter
Chad - injured?
Shockey - iffy to play
Brady - no pre-season play

or

Grits
Hasselback - injured back
Lewis - injured
McGahee - injured

Hasslebeck is staring but will likely be outscored by Kurt Warner anyway

Chris Perry is there too.

Wow. It looks like HoP's Brady team is the first off the island.

And it's funny that Skippy's Tomlinson team is 2nd to last. This is not what I expected.

It was a close thing for my squad. I won't make it half the season.

Man I knew I was in trouble when the scores started rolling in. I was just hoping that someone was doing worse as I knew I was going to be in the mix.

I'm cursed. I like my team but I lost my damn kicker.

week 2: Skippy has no QBs, looks primed for buoy duty.

I started swimming way before the games started. My first ever league to own LT and this is what I get. Sorry to the rest of you that I put the bad mojo on LT.

Think of it this way... you'll get to draft LT again next year at the 1.02 spot.

Who would have predicted that in the 1st two weeks the owners of Tom Brady and Ladanian Tomlinson would be the first two teams off the Island?

Week 3 could be BillyBalata (his whole team isn't playing well) or perhaps Stormchasers (if MJD and Fargas injuries are bad).

I've got my life jacket on.


Don't drink all the beer HoPpy....I'll be there soon!

Make sure the caps are still tight on all those bottles and the beer don't 'taste funny'...

Week 4 - I could be a goner. May not have Westy. Ronnie B and AGonzo on a bye. An injured Big Ben against the Baltimore D. Not good.

BillyBalata, POC, and KidCid all have 3 players on a bye. Darkman has 4. So maybe one of them will go.

Darkman may be gone this week unless Ryan Grant can come up with one more point ... looks like it might be tie breakers between Darkman and Big F'n Dave - both have 54 points with 1:00 minute left in the DAL-GB game

Big Dave - 3 TDs
Darkman - 3 TDs

What is the 2nd tie-breaker?

Big Dave - 152 rushing yards
Darkman - 113 rushing yards

If they both remain at 54 looks like Big Dave wins by a hair

If that still doesn't settle it then the team with the most rushing yards will advance.

Yes sir ... and Big Dave has that one locked down.


Big Dave can get more TDs from Chris Chambers ...
Darkman can get more TDs from Philip Rivers ...

With both having players tomorrow night it likely won't come to tie-breakers. It is likely tha tChris Chambers will give the win to Big Dave ... Philip Rivers has to score 18+ points to be a factor.

Ramhock could be on the hook with 56 points or Rhno with 55 (if Gates is a no show)

I'm pretty new to this, but it looks to me like Ramhock is at 56, and all in.

So, Rhino needs 2 from Gates; Darkman needs 21 from Rivers; BFD needs 3 from Chambers; and Storm needs 4 from favre and Keller.

Hmmmm, looks pretty "DARK"?

F'n newbies...

phew. that's a pretty high score to be knocked off, no?

Not really - last year, Week 3 got Skippy with 43, BUT the next lowest was 65! And in week 1, dukdown wen6t out with a 52, week 1!

That's what happens when your top 2 picks, TO & AJ, combine for 3 points.

There's always HGOY.

Ugly week ...

First I thought kid cid at was going for a swim with only 38 points suffering from only drafting 1 QB (Eli) who is off this week and the injury to Wilie Parker.

Then I thought it was Darkman getting on swim trunks on taking zeroes from FIVE players and only 31 points.

But in the end it looks like the benching of Bulger was the death of BeachBum who is going for a leisurely swim this week as he could only muster 15 points.

Do we have a "least points in a week" prize?

BB may be very close to a worst week ever prize.

I almost resorted to the Certain Loser Hex this past week, but I'm glad I kept that in my pocket for when I really need it.

Boy, I'm glad somebody else remembered this award. As I recall it consists of 10% of all prize funds since the beginning of the League, or about $325! Thanks to all!

:-(

Week 5 =

Kupcho1 in trouble with no kicker, depending on Rodgers being able to throw and which Michael Turner shows up.
KidCid with no Braylon, Fast Willie, Burleson, and Eli without Burress.
Borge007 with potentially no QB, RB Jackson, or Colston.
Stormchasers with 3 bye week players, maybe no QB, and a shaken up Boldin

With no BeachBum to pull up the rear, there's no way I can manage to score enough points to not be swimming.

I suspect that if I make it past week 5 that by week 6 (with two bye week players) I'll be testing the waters.

This week and week 7 will be my toughest weeks. This week could be trouble particularly if Boldin doesn't play.

Looks like you won't have to worry about Week 7! If skinman gets 2 points from Berrian and Meachem tonight you are gone.

Adding insult to injury my 2nd QB has been named the starter for next week.

Week 6=

- Riff has no Big Ben, Chris J, and maybe Westy.
- Big F'n Dave might not have Chambers or McFadden.
- Darkman needs the two Mosses to save his under performing team.
- BillyBalata has problems all around and Addai faces Baltimore's stern run D

Not many affected by the week 6 bye. Pretty spread out.

Week 7=

Grits has no QB.
Riff has no Westy or kicker
Darkman depending on which set of Mosses show up
BillyB has no RWhite or Edge. Addai and Winslow are iffy.

Week 8 =

Kupcho1 - no QB or Marshall
Abearwith - no Orton or ADP or Felix and Roy learning a new offense
Rhino - no QB on Bennett
AtomicCEO - no Forte or Royal

Isn't this the week Troy Smith comes back???

Who needs 'em.

Troy Smith sighting!

by the "skin" of my teeth

Week 9=

A Bear - without VJackson, Stewart, and FJones
POC - no Romo, Gore, Nugent, CTaylor, and maybe no Witten
Big F'n Dave - no O'Sullivan, McAllister, Chambers, and maybe no McFadden
Darkman - no Rivers or CBrown and quite a few under performers

For Big Dave:

Week 10 =

Grits - no Hass, Randle-El, or Perry. Maybe no McGahee
Rhino - no AHall, Graham, Bennett. Maybe no LJSmith
POC - no Romo, Witten, or CTaylor. Maybe no kicker
Riffraff - maybe no QB

Looks like I'm on the ropes.

Riff is at 37 with 2 SF receivers - Bruce and Morgan. Do they have a QB?

POC is next at 38 with Gore. Maybe if they find a QB they'll keep throwing to Bruce and Morgan?

Kid Cid is the target, wirh 50 points and all-in.

Rackers, Neil ARI PK

Saved me this week.

Week 11 = no more byes. Who's got the least amount of injuries?

KidCid = Eli doesn't have a good match-up. No Burleson. Parker? Sheffler?
Rhino = no Hall or Bennett. But got some good match-ups otherwise.
Atomic CEO = no kicker and maybe no Portis. But got some good match-ups otherwise.
Big F'n D = no O'Sully and maybe no McFadden. Chambers may not play much.

I know I'm hurting, with MLynch not cracking 100 yds yet, and EGraham hurting (with Caddy coming back). I'm tie-ing the life jacket on now.
