2009 UM Fantasy Football

[AchrisK]

I need 11 points from Heath Miller tonight to eek by Ozzman. 11 POINTS! Miller has exceeded 11 points in 4 out of 7 games.

I had some mediocre performances this week.

Jamaal Charles (KC) only did ok. I took a chance and played him. I bet he would have done more if KC hadn't picked up Chris Chambers last week, who got 2 touchdowns for them.

 

[AchrisK]

Looking for a high end RB. I have mostly high end WRs to trade.

 

[King Richard]

So I lost finally this week. 7 game win streak. I'm not sure how I should feel about this because I was raped by Colts players. Anyone have an idea? Should I be angry or just forget it ever happened?

 

[AchrisK]

With your record, and the fact that is was your boosum buddies The Colts who did it to you, you can probably still feel pretty good.

You should probably be pretty close to indifferent because it's less fucking real than a video game.

 

[AchrisK]

...although you did get beat with two less players. He didn't even sub in for his non-Colts bye week players, and he still buried you.

Stay the fuck out of this thread, Dodens Gray

...

All I wanted was 11 points, and he would give it to me. Just 11 points!

I'm not crazy!

 

[AchrisK]

I have the second most points, and yet I am in 7th place. The person with the most points is in 5th. Sad.

 

[King Richard]

That's what you call inconsistency my friend. Who cares if you have the most points? All that matters is how many wins and losses you have. Obviously if you are in 7th place then your team doesn't consistently pump out a lot of points week in and out to ensure that you get a victory.

 

[AchrisK]

My team does consistently pump out the points, but I have apparently had unlucky matchups. It's not like my "team" can attempt to step up and match the intensity level of its opponent. They aren't real teams. They aren't playing each other. It just so happens that even though I get a healthy amount of points (mostly 150+), more often than not I am playing someone who did better. To illustrate, if I played you every week, I would be 6-3 and you would be 3-6. But I only played you one one of the three weeks you scored more than me. Same scenario with Gavinators. I would be 6-3 and he would be 3-6.

I may be whining a bit, but it's not like I am asking for some kind of "review on the play". I know how it works, and I know I am allowed to whine.

 

[AchrisK]

.

Yeah, that's what I thought, punk!

 

[King Richard]

I sent you a trade proposal Ack.

 

[AchrisK]

Not that I am necessarily interested in that player, but you asked for like 5 of my players. Am I to assume that means you would take any one of them? I so I guess I am supposed to counter with one of them if I am interested. Is that right?

 

[King Richard]

lol

It was actually a joke. I offered 1 guy for your best players.

Anyways, yes if you want Slaton's handcuff I'm willing to trade him to you, he's useless to me right now. If you want him, hit me up with something.

 

[AchrisK]

He doesn't seem to be working out too well. I know Slaton has fumble problems, but apparently Moats doesn't fix that particular problem, so why keep Slaton off the field.

What is the whole philosophy behind owning both an RB and his backup? How is that better than just owning RBx from team X and RBy from team Y, and substituting as necessary?

 

[Caecius]

I still believe Slaton will be the starter eventually, due to his reception skills.

 

[Caecius]

The scoring system is a joke for QB's. Cutler got someone 16 points with 5 picks, a fumble, and no TD passes.

 

[AchrisK]

What's up with the Saints? I think I am making a strong move to start their defense against the RAMS, and I end up with 4 points? Astounding. My fantasy players hate me.

 

[Caecius]

I squeaked out a win in a very close game. Thank you Peyton Manning for burning all the clock at the end of the game so Wes Welker couldn't get more points.
