Lost Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 (edited) It comes down to: Griese vs. San Diego or Hasselbeck vs. Minnesota You know that Griese is probably good for an average game each week. He seems to throw 1 or 2 TDs each week and puts up average yardage. Since it is the playoffs, I don't know if mediocrity will do it in the playoffs. The Chargers seem to shut down the running game and put up some good points, so the Bucs should need to pass a lot. How much will a lack of the running game hurt the passing? On the other hand, you never know which Hasselbeck is gong to take the field. It could be the 414 yard, 3 TD Hasselbeck or the 172 yard, NO TD Hasselsuck. He has the potential to put some good numbers against a questionable Minnesota D. I would feel a lot better if this were an away game for Minnesota, as they seem to be more vulnerable against the pass when playing away. Our scoring is standard performance scoring, where 1 point per 25 yards passing and 6 points per TD. If it is any help, I am playing the guy who has Trent Green. I have been leaning toward Hasselbeck because I am not sure that an average game from Griese will do it for me; however, I would gladly take an average game from Griese, then a porous game from Hasselbeck. Any thoughts? Edited December 10, 2004 by Lost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stokers Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 I have both of these QB's as well. Hasselbeck has hurt me more then just once this season. Two weeks ago, he had such a bad game it might have cost me a playoff spot. With that said I might start him this week. I benched him last week and he had a great game. Griese is playing a tough Chargers D, and I think they'll try and run first. As you said he might just have an average game. I need better than average game right now. Hasselbeck is playing a soft MN D without Winfield. It's a hard decision, but I'm leaning toward Hassel. Good luck!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikings711 Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 I would go with Hasslebeck against that horrible MINN defense. please see my post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJoTheWebToedBoy Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Griese is Ave. A good average, I've been riding him since I snagged him off the WW about 6 weeks ago. So it you looking for a safe bet, Griese's your guy. If your willing to gamble, Hasselback. When he's on, he puts up great numbers. And against Minn. I get the feeling he's going to be on.

bloodysquirrel Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 I have to agree on Hasselback, although reluctantly, for everyone else's reasons. I have a similar situation. I have Hasselback vs Minn and Brooks vs. Dallas. Both QB's have really good matchups. Brooks has been more reliable, but last week I scored more points with Hasselback than I had in ay one game with Brooks. Any thoughts on this scenario??

nhoops Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 I have Hass,Griese, and Volek and I'm going with Hass. I just don't see Griese putting up huge numbers and that's what I think it'll take to beat SD. I think Hass will continue what he started last week and has a better chance to do it against MINN. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are shaky about your other starters, and you feel like you need a huge day out of the QB position, then roll the dice with Hass. Just understand that there is just as much of a chance to have a good day as there is to lay an egg. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runner Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Hasslebeck definitely, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
