Lt.Speirs Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 Just a couple of hours to go Don't have any players in tonights game but it should be a good one looking forward to it. Still not to sure whether to go with 3 WR's or RB's suppose I better make up my mind?!?!?! no players tonight, well not on my kickback team, but i do have another 45 teams to contend with:21: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Can't wait for the season to begin, hopefully ESPN will be wrong because I'm down for a heavy defeat! My team depends a lot on how the old boys with dodgy health get on (Warner and Westbrook), although even my backup QB is under that category too as I picked up Favre. I'm worried about my lack of top quality at WR but I've got a few solid reliable players. Just need a couple of the potential ones to step up. I'll either need to take a chance at this position or give away one of my stars in a trade. Should be a good match tonight, probably low scoring. White better not steal any TD's away from Johnson otherwise the ESPN prediction will be on the way to being right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typically Johnson had an average game (not that it was a surprise against the Steelers), but I think that was deliberate to try and force the trade to you Just shows you that sometimes the late round picks can sometimes pay off. One thing with the fantasy games is that it's not predictable which I guess is part of it all. Needless to say the Cowboys better keep your RB's away from getting TD's!

Yeah i think I got quite lucky that johnson had a poor game. Although the prediced outcome of our game was based on Bironas scoring 16 points. He got 5 . It'll be alot closer than the predictions suggest. Alot of it is about how much effort people put into selections and free agents each week.

Is everyone ready for tonight, i`m struggling with my qb`s not the best of matchups but hopeing big things from mjd and my 2 wr smith my rb from detroit has a great upside i just hope detroit dont fall to far behind early, so the start throwing the ball all the time.

Sterling Archer Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I remember reading an article saying that Kickers and defence's are all pretty pointless trying to rank. Yes they can get alot of points but compared to each other it's not very many. There's always one defense that is amazing (the steelers last year) but they're the exception and not the rule.

Well done:2thumbsup: Pretty happy that I was competitive, thought I'd end up being the whipping boys in this. If I get lucky I might sneak a play off, but Dolphins and Claymores look good. is it just a case of top 2 from each division? or is it the winners and the the 4 best records? going to reject the offer made for Hasselbeck, Better to keep him and rotate him with Cutler depending on opposition.

Good game jefferies it was a close one, the top 8 teams with the best record go through ie, 12 - 1 then so on last season we had 2 divisons with 4 going through and one divison had 3 teams in it. To be honest if you win your league you will almost be home and hosed. big one with claymores next week he had a good week. Waivers is your chance to take players of the free agency list and drop one of your own players you will be ranked 1 to 16 so if you are 8th and someone is after the same player as you and they are ranked 7th he will get him you will not know untill waiver day if you have got him.

Martin Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 No shame in losing to the best team last week The waiver wire thing is strange and I've never understood why they aren't opened up immediately. Think you can still get them in time for the game if you are successful but you only find out Sunday morning which means that you have to scramble about in case you don't get them.

Martin Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Still can't believe how I didn't win last week, just shows that you need a wee bit of the luck of the draw when it comes to the fixtures. Thought I was cruising after Chris Johnson got me 60 points but Frank Gore's equally great game brought it closer. Gibby talked earlier about bringing in Manningham and shows it was a great move because that swung it his way in the end. Second highest total of the week and I still lost! Now at 0-2 and unless I win this weekend, could be curtains for me. WR continues to haunt me and I might seriously have to consider giving up Johnson or Westbrook to try and improve all round.

Yeh that one must of been hard to take having the 9th best scoring fantasy player ever and still getting beaten, but to be fair gore was only the second ever player in history (after barry sanders) to score 2 70 yard touchdowns in one game. I was looking for a qb all week because Garrard was playing so poor,got trent edwards, and what happens lose by 2 points and garrard outscores edwards by 3 typical.

Larry Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Few NFL Questions from the newbie Firstly,have they ever discussed or experimented with extending the length of the season? I know its a otugh demanding game, But I kind of wish it was maybe 20 regular season games as 5 or 6 months seems a bit short from a fans point of view. I know its probably a case of Quality over Quantity but Having to wait half a year for the season must be unbearable to the die hards? Secondly how do they decide upon the fixture list? I realise each team plays others in the division twice, but how do they come up with the remaining 10 fixtures? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sterling Archer Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 yes they have discussed extending the season, with the idea that 4 pre-season games is too much and using 2 of those games as regular season games. They've also considered this because they want to have more games abroad and this would allow them to do that without taking games away from fans in the US. With regards to the fixtures, * Each team plays the other three teams in its division twice: once at home, and once on the road (six games). * Each team plays the four teams from another division within its own conference once on a rotating three-year cycle: two at home, and two on the road (four games). * Each team plays the four teams from a division in the other conference once on a rotating four-year cycle: two at home, and two on the road (four games). * Each team plays once against the other teams in its conference that finished in the same place in their own divisions as themselves the previous season, not counting the division they were already scheduled to play: one at home, one on the road (two games).

Larry Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 anyway willing to trade QBs? I have Cutler(bye week) and Hassselbeck(back in 1 week from injured rib). Ideally I want to trade MH who is Questionable for this weekend but expected back the following week. But I might be willing to even trade off Cutler for someone half decent. Any takers? guessing not... newbie question, How many times can you throw the ball in one play? I saw the QB throw under arm to one of my fantasy picks, who then threw it into the end zone, caught for TD. Is there any limits on passing in one play?
