I don't think so.

Although I was sickened to watch the Bills hand Brady my game down the stretch I was also thrilled to see an incomplete 2 pt conversion attempt that would have surely ended any chance of my celebrating this week, Unfortunately, the way this weekend has gone for me I fully expect the official stat release tomorrow morning to reverse my apparent win. Live scoring shows me winning 87.2 to 86.9

Sobeit however as I did not earn a victory this first weekend of the season because instead of playing my gut and going with Hasselbeck and Fred Jackson (combined for 50) I instead thought better to go with the players I drafted as starters. I drafted them early, why wouldn't I play them the first week, right? Seemed to make sense on Saturday anyway. But I digress...

Gotta love this stuff, don't ya!?!

So, how did you do?

Just before gametime on Thursday, I benched Holmes and Ward for Anthony Gonzalez and Torry Holt. Unless SDC can get me another 10 points in turnovers or TDs, it will cost me the win.

I was nipped by 110 points this week. I think the issue started with me signing up for the league. Then I had to draft players and that didn't work. Lastly, I had to start some of those players. We need to find out if a team has ever lost in the first week by over 100 points then come back to win the league...

i was in a league a gut startyed 0-5 and won. 10 team league. im serious.

good luck


by the way larry if your reading this im sorry to rub it in but i cant help it: you had peterson, moss, jennings, and over 140 points but i still won! thanx tony romo, fred jackson, and all the others on my team.

peace

LOL...I am sure one day we will play golf and you will completely embarrass me! However, I started Julius Jones, Tim Hightower, and Kevin Smith....hardly an offensive juggernaut. I got really lucky....consider it payback for last year!!!!!

ETA: I didn't start Julius Jones...I started Barber....Trogs has jones!!!! Sheesh

Yea I didn't really deserve a win this week anyway BS my team nearly lagged an egg in every position it was terrible I was shocked to see I was even in contention if Moss had of caught that 2 pointer it was a win but certainly not a deserved one.

I'm hesitant to say anything at all after this week... Usually, when I "celebrate" a very good week in FF, it's abruptly followed by a brutal week in which I am slammed back into reality. I really can't complain with how this week ended up, though... 9-2 overall, including league high score in the two leagues that pay $$ for doing so. Of my two losses for the week, one was a team that I took over this year in complete rebuilding mode (Dynasty Warz II), and in the other I ended up as the second highest-scoring team for the week... faced the top team (very first week of Redraft Wars, which is a 40-man IDP redraft league). So, I guess I had about as good of a 9-2 week as one could possibly have.

As far as the Huddle in particular, I'm just thrilled to have started out the season with a "W." I've had some bad luck the past year or two, having fared fairly well in terms of points scored, but not so well in the Win-Loss columns. In fact, last year, I faced the top-scoring team several times, only to lose with the 2nd or 3rd highest score for the week. Long season, though, so I can't put too much emphasis on one week, particularly one in which I benefited from 31 points from my defense (PHI). What was encouraging was that I believe I have found some depth on my squad at the RB and WR positions... Faulk and Sproles combined for 30 points on my bench, and could end up being more than just bye-week fillers. At WR, the amount of targets for Bess was good to see, as well as Britt's involvement in the game for Tennessee. Like I said, though, it's one week, so I am hoping that 2-3 more weeks of the same will prove that this wasn't a fluke.

On a downside, I may be looking to the WW for a backup QB... not sure Delhomme is going to cut it. The other thing I'm afraid of is that, with really only four every-week must-starts (Rodgers/Gore/Calvin/Gates), I'm going to be playing the "WDIS" game to fill out the rest of my starting lineup on a weekly basis. Oh well, I guess that's what makes this game fun, but drives us crazy at the same time.

Congrats on that win, Gopher. The Eagles defense definitely helped, but you still got solid performances out of most of your squad. It's never fun to start off with a loss, but I'm not too concerned. A lot of my guys performed well below expectations and I still managed to score 103 points, so I should be fine. I'm going to regret taking Andre Johonson over Randy Moss though. In fact, I was already regretting it by the end of the third preseason game and I'm regretting it now. There's nothing wrong with Andre himself, but Shaub is looking very shaky and it amazes me that they still haven't been able to put together a decent offensive line after all of these years.
