10 October 2007

Your weekly (American) football thread [More:]
My fantasy team pulled off another undeserved win - I am now 5-0 and #1 in the league for the second week in a row.

However, I just can't enjoy my victory thanks to the heartbreaking Bills loss on Monday night. I said it on sportsfilter and I'll say it again here, if you were still rooting for Dallas by the end of that game (not counting real Dallas fans), you have a lump of cold, black coal for a heart.

I didn't actually see the game (had to go to bed early to make a very early morning flight,) but just seeing the highlights made me want to cry.

danostuporstar - my Bills tried their hardest to destroy Romo for you. Sorry they came up short. I now hate him for me and for you.
Gah, sorry, I swear I looked and didn't see this thread.

You can delete this post if you want to.

*sigh*

I wasn't rooting against Romo this week (though I'm always rooting against Dallas), but I appreciate your Bills nonetheless. Sorry about the heartbreak...but it's kinda why the game is interesting, no?

Congrats on the 5-0. Mudpuppie beat me this week, but the MetaChat title will still be mine come week 16. (And doubles ain't no sweat here.)

I'm still waiting to win a game. The fact that I don't check injury reports before the weekend doesn't really help my case.

And the broncos losing by 38 points is pretty f'in ridiculous. And if Henry gets suspended from the league....arrrgggghhhhh.

My poor broncos :(

Romo played against me last week when he had a great week and then he absolutely sucked this week and the Cowboys still won. At least I had Nick Folk as my kicker, he got me lots and lots of points!

I went 4-1 this week, won both my money games by large margin, but lost my first game in the mecha league. My game this week is against rainbaby, the only undefeated team left in the league. Seems appropriate.

Does Derrick Ward have any value anymore now that Jacobs is back? I thought I was so deep at RB, but with byes and Addai hurt and Cadillac gone for the season, I'm starting to worry.

fenriq - I too had Folk as my kicker and feel somewhat guilty that the Bills' loss is what put me over the top in my game this week.

I'd give up all my fantasy football wins for the rest of the season if I could just go back in time and make it so the Bills won that game.

dano - Ward got good yardage and a TD last week even splitting carries with Jacobs. I think he's definitely still got value. However, I probably won't always play him, depending on how my RBs match up against defenses. Sometimes I like the idea of starting 2 RBs from one team, sometimes it worries me and I prefer to mix it up. (I have Jacobs too - his injury is why I picked up Ward in the first place.)

Nick Folk looks like a young Uncle Fester.

In case anyone is running around trying to pick up Vinnie GreenBalls, he isn't in the Yahoo Database yet. Tim Rattay is, though.
