HH and I are the top scorers. I need to keep him out of the playoffs.

Last 3 weeks I scored 399, HH scored 398.

Interesting little tidbit here

This game...


Gopher (-13.3) at DO Jaded's


...is made even more interesting because of this game...

Irish (-18.2) at Thews40

...because of these standings

Gopher 5-8-0 1536.2
Irish 5-8-0 1400.6
Thews40 4-8-1 1236.6

Don't know if ya'll recall, and I apologize for aggravating any festering wounds here, but I just found this irresistible... Thews was calling for a demotion to get away from another certain member that he happens to be playing this week. If either win this game and Gopher loses then the winner will stay in Semi-Pro and Gopher and the loser will be relegated. If Gopher wins then both will be relegated together.
How's that for a sharp









There is the possiblity that Irish wins and outscores a losing broncos by 60+ and gets to stick around but that's obviously highly unlikely.

From the other thread...




The last 3 weeks I have scored 399 and HH has scored 398

BS Miscreant has scored 374 and you've scored 345.



I want to play the weakest team in the next round and that is obviously Big Mike.

The way teams are dropping in the All-Pro division (for next year), we all may move up.... Or, maybe we should be relegated regardless, and newcomers should be inserted to fill the empty spots?

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

If we play in the 1st round Randall, you are going to regret you ever said that

I have a confession. I'm starting McFadden this week so I have a reason to watch the game tonight (Thursday). Randall, I hope it doesn't mess up your opportunity to play BigMike in the first round.

No problem. If we play each other that would be cool too. Since Big Mike beat me with Breaston and Tyler Thigpen I've been messing with him. I asked him for an apology but didn't get one.

Man, what a drag. It's one thing the guy doesn't score any points but I think I've only seen him on about 8-10 plays and only like 4 touches, one of which was called back by penalty and another he got tackled by his teammate as he caught a zero yard pass. I guess that's what I get for wanting to be entertained.

Bring it on.

Broncos and Easy n Dirty are still in this too.

Well you all may get your chance haven't gotten alot early and not confident about anything late probably going to be spotting Randall 60 points going into the late games.

Well barring something ridiculos happening and Steve Smith getting minuses tomorrrow (don't even think it can happen in this league anyway) I am playoff bound I toyed all week with the idea of starting Tashard Choice and Deion Branch over Ryan Grant and Randy Moss thankfully it didn't hurt me either way.

Well at least we'll both get easy games next week.

Big Mike 86 VS BS Miscreat 74(with Dunn and Kasay yet to play)

Funnily enough my team is the only team in the entire league to not score under 100 points this season in a game, I found that hard to believe to be honest been consistent.

Congrats HH. I gave it a run but my inconsistent team came up short. Knew dropping two of the last four games was a no-no.

Thanks man Easy'n'Dirty and yourself certainly kept the pressure on me and when I left for work yesterday I had a feeling I was done like a dinner but managed to get the win so I am wrapped. Been a real competitive season in this league and as always weekly matchups have as much to do with winning in here as anything else, just depends on who you play on that given week.

Fixed


...and not so fast my friend

Big Mike 86 VS BS Miscreant 132.9

Nice.

Randall, I really don't feel good about this week, I gotta be honest

I may do something I didn't think I would do this season and that is bench Randy this week, I don't like him against the Raiders at all and with Branch going against a sieve like defense against St.Louis it is pretty hard not to start him.

Best of luck guys been a great season alot of fun.

Yeah I like my matchups better this week. You have scored well (120's)every other week lately though. I actually think HH's team has been playing best the last half of the season. I hope BS Miscreant beats him.

Your scoring this year(last 7 weeks)

128.1 76.3 122.8 127.2 98.6 120.1 86.2


Mine

94.9 121.7 114.8 97.6 167.6 132.5 116.5

My worst nightmare... I start Bush thinking he looked solid this past week, better than the previous week, but he tweaks the knee and does little to nothing to help me out. Well guess what? HH now has the upper hand. I 've got two RBs and one just poopy the bed Thursday night.

Yes, Forte does the same for me, but I had Pierre and Colston step up. HH does have a solid team, but perhaps someone will step up on sunday.

Randall whilst Forte didn't have a great game he still got you 17 points or something heck if Ryan Grant and Thomas Jones can get 17 points each I would take that and run with it.

I cannot believe you are up 73-0 already, ugh

Yeah Forte was hurt. 17 pts per player would mean 136 points and would win most weeks.

Well, it's certainly not over but with a QB on my bench who outscored my starter and 2 RBs that outscored both of my starters I'm still very much in the game, facing a 21 point deficit with T.O., DeSean and the Cowboys D still to play. Hopefully I'l be watching the Monday night game with no concern for how many points Jackson scores... hopefully...



Thanks for that by the way. That's a tough one.

Good game either way, HH.

yea well it looks like i have screwed myself over there

Man you had a great team, but benching Randy takes guts.

Big Mike is still in our game with a million points from Dallas Clark. He needs 24.7 from the Eagles defense though.

I had 3 moves I wanted to do this week bench Cutler for McNabb play Cutler and he really does nothing much at all, Bench Ryan Grant for Tashard Choice Grant does ok but Choice has a great game I was just worried he wouldn't get enough touches. Bench Randy for Branch I did this one and it back fired with this one alone the other way I would have still given myself half a chance today. Bit of luck DeSean Jackson loses his way to the game today and doesn't turn up thats about the only chance i have

Classic overthinking and I'd like to thank you for that. I did the same sunday morning. I benched Bowe for Driver(weather) and Turner for Portis costing me 16 points.

Not gonna happen

Could happen. His stat line last week was 2 carries for -9 yds and no catches. Ya never know with the Eagles.

The Jets D did it against the Cardinals.

5.0 5 Sacked a QB
6.0 3 Interceptions
8.0 4 Fumble Recoveries (from Opponent)
6.0 1 Interception Return TDs
25.0 Subtotal

Well, barring some serious defensive heroics on the part of the Eagles and as long as Reid doesn't let Jackson throw anymore passes...

It looks like it's you and me Randall.

That's right. Bring it.

We seem pretty evenly matched. Last week our potential points were 157.1 and 157.8.

Geez I tell you this one is going to leave a sour taste in my mouth for along time I told myself all season long to just keep playing Smith and Moss regardless you never know what might happen well I guess in the end i got what i deserved.

From MFL recaps

Randall's Huskies were led to their 11.7 point victory by a 33.6 point effort from Pierre Thomas, who got by the Chicago Bears defense for 87 rushing yards and 1 rushing td in addition to 59 receiving yards. With this performance, Thomas was the number 2 ranked overall fantasy scorer for week 15. They also got help from a 20.4 point effort from Marques Colston, who got by the Chicago Bears defense for 84 receiving yards and 1 receiving td.

"This team has served notice," Randall's Huskies coach ray reynolds said.

BigMike and the Backyardigans were helped out in a losing cause by a 32.2 point effort from Dallas Clark, who beat the Detroit Lions defense for 142 receiving yards and 1 receiving td. With this performance, Clark was the number 4 ranked overall fantasy scorer for week 15. They also got help from a 20.9 point effort from Tony Romo, who got by the New York Giants defense for 244 passing yards and 2 passing tds in addition to 7 rushing yards.

"We didn't get the job done," BigMike and the Backyardigans coach said.

Compounding the issue, BigMike and the Backyardigans could have scored 147.6 points and gotten the win with their best lineup, but left key players like Tyler Thigpen and his corresponding 21.6 points on the bench.

This brings the record for Randall's Huskies to 9-5, and drops BigMike and the Backyardigans to a record of 11-3.

Coming up in week 16, the 12-2 BS Miscreant are at Randall's Huskies, where Randall's Huskies are an early 1-point favorite, while the 8-6 Half Hennessy are at BigMike and the Backyardigans, where BigMike and the Backyardigans are an early 13.2-point underdog.


BS Miscreant were led to their 10.3 point victory by a 24.8 point effort from Antonio Bryant, who beat the Atlanta Falcons defense for 108 receiving yards and 1 receiving td. With this performance, Bryant was the number 4 ranked wide receiver for week 15. They also got help from a 18.2 point effort from Tony Gonzalez, who snuck past the San Diego Chargers defense for 62 receiving yards and 1 receiving td.

"We're going to use this win as a building block," BS Miscreant coach said.

Half Hennessy were helped out in a losing cause by a 32.4 point effort from Steve Smith, who beat the Denver Broncos defense for 165 receiving yards and 1 receiving td in addition to 9 rushing yards. With this performance, Smith was the number 3 ranked overall fantasy scorer for week 15. They also got help from a 16.2 point effort from Thomas Jones, who got by the Buffalo Bills defense for 78 rushing yards and 1 rushing td in addition to 4 receiving yards.

"They own us," Half Hennessy coach Peter Corry said.

Compounding the issue, Half Hennessy could have scored 158.3 points and gotten the win with their best lineup, but Peter Corry left key players like Tashard Choice and his corresponding 24.3 points on the bench.

This brings the record for BS Miscreant to 12-2, and drops Half Hennessy to a record of 8-6.

Well, as excited as I am about Garrard finally(pretty darn good timing) coming up with an above average game, I'm tempering it just a bit. I've had two consecutive really weak performances on Thursday nights but still won both games. I'm hoping this showing is not an omen to the contrary.

Cold weather killed me last season. I may have to bench Aaron Rodgers this time.

I hear ya. I don't really fret too much over that stuff when I'm drafting but I do know guys that along with FF playoff time match-ups they also really look at bad weather guys. Hope it doesn't effect you too negatively... i think...

It looks better in Chi-town now. May start Garcia to negate Antonio Bryant a little.

Made the right call on starting Dunn based on receptions and touches in general but there were no yards to go with them. Oh well...

Well there you go. Not much to complain about. I started the right guys, they put up pretty good numbers and the result is a very respectable final score. Randall, if your boys can get it done Monday night I will have simply been beaten by a better team this week. Good game, great season either way.

I didn't start the right guys, but many have been inconsistent.

Forte and Rodgers would have to put up a little more than their averages and I doubt if they will at night in Chi-town , but you never know.

Nice job both of us getting to the final four 2 straight years.

<------Angry at himself


In 1st place all year, and I come away with nothing oh well I knew it was going to happen, I peaked WAY to early

Good season gents! Can't wait to move up THE LADDER and join the next level in '09


BigMike

I peaked at the right time Big Mike only suffering cause my own bone head moves which pisses me off more, Congrads to BS and Randall you guys have been great all season tonights game will be interesting I'll certainly be cheering Forte to tear the Pack apart

Me too. I want the Packer run defense to suck and the Bears pass D to do exactly the same.

Go Packers
Go Bears.

lol yea gott say i am hoping for not much at all out of Rodgers but Forte with 150 and a couple of TDs would be great to see

I'd rather see the Bears win the division and just want Rodgers to get experience playing in the cold. Our season is over. Hopefully we'll get a draft pick in the low teens.

The field looks pretty slippery.

Lost by 5. Bears didn't even use Forte til the end.
