Scorcher Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I don't know about others but every player I have started in a Thurs night game has had their worst performance of the year, to include Ray Rice, (Chris Johnson outscored him last week!), Eli, Pitta, and now Danny Amendola. It just seems that the short week takes it's toll. A very bad idea by the greedy NFL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinatown dragons Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Agreed.....it started for me with Cruz (coming off monster game, did nothing that Thursday night), then Cobb (ditto monster game. nothing..).....Richardon broke curse slightly last week with decent rushing/receiving yardage, and a score....

ABearWithFurniture Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 The Rams D/ST did wonders... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
injendsm Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Arizona's D/ST got me off to a great start in my money league ; not even half the output of their lowest total this season. I very rarely have anyone in a Thursday game do anything worthwhile for my team. The lone exception was Martellus Bennett against the Panthers a couple of weeks ago.

acbvegas Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Just thought of it maybe you are right. What about Torrey Smith or Joe Flacco against the browns. Maybe the exception to the rule? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidsgotsoul Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Torrey Smith and Martellus Bennett both had awesome games in the Thursday night games I started them in. This was the first Thursday night game where I had disappointing points (Amendola & Zuerlein) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuckDuckGoose Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Yes Richardson & Smith to name a few. Oh and of course don't forget Olgretree in the first game of the year if you had him. HA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikesVikes Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I know that there's been some high scoring games on Thursdays and on Thanksgiving because Defenses don't have the time to pick up their opponents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delusions of grandeur Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I know that there's been some high scoring games on Thursdays and on Thanksgiving because Defenses don't have the time to pick up their opponents. True, I just think it's the nature of night games, no matter what night of the week, tending to be trap games, where players unexpectedly show up and disappear. I've noticed this for years with sport-booking. It's maybe just more obvious here because you have to live with the decision all weekend.

snoop2 Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Thursday night games are the worst. It is rare for big games for players. One thing our league talks about. I have sworn not to start players on Thursday night unless its a top flight player, but for the most part the games stink. I thought about starting Amendola, and he ends up with a broken clavicle. I really wish they would scrap the Thursday night game. It is usually bad football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think S Jackson had one of his better games so far as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolverines Fan Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 (edited) Two weeks ago, I got a goose egg from Vernon Davis. This week i got one point from the Vikings D in two leagues. The Vikings D at home. Not the end of the world, but I hate bad starts. Edited October 26, 2012 by Wolverines Fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronco Billy Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 So if TB slaughtered MIN on Sunday instead that 1 for the MIN D would feel better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosGatosEnFuegos Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 So if TB slaughtered MIN on Sunday instead that 1 for the MIN D would feel better? Yes. It would be one of many scores as opposed to the only one, so you would focus on it less. Also, you have two days and three nights to sit with it, instead of a max of one day/one night (assuming your game is decided on Monday). Psychological effects aren't always logical. Knowing that still doesn't necessarily make it any better. I had AP/VJax get well out-scored by Martin last night. If that had happened at 1pm on Sunday, I would have many other things to focus on...other than work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
