aterry1979 Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Had this week won with a huge 20pt deficit against my opponents boldin and my grossman with already 20 pts leading into tonight.

Got beat by 3 pts tonight. Anyone else get burned alive by Grossman? Lets see, I needed 15 points from Grossman and T JOnes to win. Dont need a calculator to figure out I lost! However, here is the kicker based on the matchup, Leinart was on my bench! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintsFanUnfortunately Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Benched Bulger to play Grossman. Lost out on the high score of the week and what would have been the high score of the year to date by a long shot. Bulger had 32.4 points in my league and Grossman had 5.22. Grossman looked really bad, he never made any adjustments, he just kept looking for the long ball instead of checking down to the 7 yard gain. Looked like Favre on steroids!

The Misfit Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Was up by 12, I had Grossman, and for whatever foktard reason, my opponent had the Arizona defense. Really, it's such a stupid loss I'm more than . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunther Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 he actually got you positive points?? Exactly what I was thinking. They must not penalize turnovers in his league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lock_it_up Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Well they have been saying all year he looks like a young Brett Favre, so you gotta take the good with the bad. Grossman got me -1.6 points. Luckily I still got the win. First week I decided to give Grossman the start thinking he was no fluke....

Sugar Magnolia Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I thought I had survived the aftemath of my opponent with LT and his 4 TD's. I was behind only 6 points. All Rex had to do was toss one f'n TD against the lowly Cardinal defense. How hard should that be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk37 Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I was down by 31 points and I had Urlacher and he had Grossman and Urlacher got me 21 points and Grossman lost him 40 points. haha That was awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosGatosEnFuegos Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I was up pretty big going into the game, but my opponent had dangled grossman as trade bait earlier in the season. After someone expressed interest, i started hating on grossman, making a less than fair trade offer. My opponent had politely declined my offer and stated that i should be careful not to choke on the bag of chips included therein. Nothing sweeter than grossman putting up a whopping -7pts, especially while he had Leinhart sitting on the bench. Not that it would have mattered, as i coasted to a 72pt victory, just 4pts shy of double his score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czarina Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 What a crazy week in FF. I had to play David Carr at QB because of bye week issues. He got me a lousy 2.6 points this week. My opponent had Grossman though and ended up with -6 for him. Way to make Carr look like a winner, Rex! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikesVikes Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 My son won because his opponent had Grossman. He was down about 20 points. Boldin outscored Grossman and he won by a point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_bone65 Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Grossman got me around -5 points and I lost by 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_bone65 Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I was down by 31 points and I had Urlacher and he had Grossman and Urlacher got me 21 points and Grossman lost him 40 points. haha That was awesome! How in the heck can Grossman lose -40 points? The scoring must be a little flawed if turnovers hurt you that bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchprime Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I'm SO lucky I was up big in both leagues. Started Grossman in both and he did everything he could to lose those games for me. Holy mackrel, he was HORRIBLE last night! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boilerduff Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 He was minus 13 for our leauge.. Thats not what killed me.. Went to bed at halftime , Woke up this morning to a 24 CHI Points only to find NO OFFENSIVE TD'S! GRRRRRRRRRRR Berrian catches a touch, I win the game... Talk about a let down. I am just glad I screwed up last week and forgot to put in my waiver pickup for Grossman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cre8tiff Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 The first thing I thought of in seeing the title to this thread is how many weeks did you WIN because of Grossman? Wheat with the chaff, baby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockerbraves Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Few years back I was leading the game going into Monday Night by a couple of points. I had Payton Manning left to play while my opponent had no players left. It crossed my mind to bench Manning to assure myself the win, but of course I decided to run up the score. You guessed it Manning got negative points and I lost the game. Lesson learned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEPats Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Grossman got a guy in my league a whopping -11.78 points! The worst is that he lost by less than 2.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
