IDP leagues are scary in close games because of that. You can go to sleep with a 4 point lead and wake up behind by 10 sometimes, because the tackle numbers aren't official until the next day D:

[Serif]

Not sure what IDP is, Individual Defensive Points?

The reason I said that is because sometimes the computer miscalculates points based on some of the defensive plays. I don't think we have ever seen a 8 points swing though this season. Plus I already looked at the break down of the points calculated and they look correct.

I am going to need to find a good pick up RB/WR unless I decide to start Kevin Faulk next week.

I'm in the thick of 3 playoffs atm:

$$ League - Finals
2QB League - Finals
IDP League - Semifinals

Unless a lot of studs don't show, I don't know if I'll outright lose. I have LT in my $$/IDP league, Westbrook in 2qb/IDP, and the combination of Warner/Fitzgerald/Andre in both my finals games. But here's my serious dilemma...

What's the situation with the Cardinals? Are they not going to try/care? I'm getting antsy of Warner @ NE...but seriously, I have terrible secondary options. Are the Cardinals going to try at all, or are they just going to bench their players? Should I even *think* about getting Matt Leinart?

[Fistandantilus]

I wouldn't, the Cardinals want to prove they are a real team not just the least shitty team in the NFC West. I'd stick with Warner for at least 1 more game.

In this situation, WWFSMD?

It doesn't matter, you're going down in the finals. D:

(inb4 I eat my words and get beaten by 100+, haha. Good luck. ( '-')/ )

FSM would naturally blink and your opponent would cease to exist. You would win and a mountain of beer would appear and we would celebrate.

On a less serious note, with Pat Williams getting hurt Minnesota's run D should be a good bit weaker so now I'm in a serious debate with myself. I'm in the semifinals of my money league and I have these RB options:

Lynch vs DEN
Pierre Thomas vs DET
Turner vs MIN
Portis vs PHI
Choice vs BAL
Tatum Bell vs BUF

Obviously I'm not thinking of Choice or Bell. I was pretty set to go with Pierre and Lynch but with one of the monsters out in Minnesota Turner looks really tempting. He is on the road however, but still in a dome. Leaning towards sticking with Lynch and Pierre but my mind could be changed.

I would go Pierre and Turner but last week I was horrible on telling people what to do!



I think I am pretty much screwed with my Championship game.

The match up looks like this:

My Team:

QB: Rivers @TB
RB: LT @TB
RB/WR: Ward CAR/Breaston @NE/Hightower @NE/Walter @OAK/Faulk ARI
WR: Jennings @CHI
WR: Fitzgerald @NE
TE: Gonzalez MIA
D: Colts @JAC/Giants CAR
K: Matt Bryant SD

His Team:

QB: Warner @NE/Romo BAL
RB: Thomas @DET
RB/WR: S Moss PHI/Barber BAL/Moore @TEN/Toomerr CAR/McClain @DAL
WR: R Moss ARI
WR: Colston @DET
TE: Miller HOU
D: TEN PIT
K: Elam @MIN

Not sure who to start in my flex spot or if I need to look for a FA.
Also if I need to pick up another D or stay with one of the two I have.
And not sure if I should pick up anyone else so he can not get them.

Winning this game will get me back 140 bucks while losing will give me back 60 bucks. So it is still win/win just want to win, haha...

HALP!

[Headspace]

Recup's a 20 point favorite on me lol.

[sekaran]

I picked up the Houston D cause Oakland can't do shit. Haha. Otherwise I'd have to start Tampa Bay against the Chargers.

[Kailee]

I had four fantasy teams this year, and all four made it to the playoffs. And I lost every single game.
Guess me and the Cowboys were destined to be together.

[omgaggrohelpme]

Had the following line up for the play-offs:

A. Rodgers
B. Marshall
R. White
L. Fitzgerald
S. Slaton
C. Johnson
J. Carlson

Bench:

Tavaris Jackson
M. Colston
P. Thomas
D. Rhodes
D. Bowe


Lost to the #6 seed 125 to 69..

[Anyway]

In the finals of my money league and #1 in points. (700$ for points leader 300 for head to head winner). With this line up:

McNabb/Ryan
Westbrook
Forte
Sammy Morris/McClain/J. Lewis
Fitzgerald
Andre Johnson
Welker (ppr so he's god)
Gates

[Headspace]

I'm sporting the Andre Johnson/Welker combo as well, shit is so cash.

[Akiyama]

Hope no one is depending on Reggie Bush to save their playoffs. Out for the season, etc.

Looks good.. May start Favre over instead of Schaub.. and Tampa Bay instead of Houston.. but they're both toss ups.

[Tyche]

lol, mine and Vade's championship matchup since bush went on IR. Don't think they can project it to be much closer...

Pick 2:
Hines Ward @ Tennessee
Lance Moore @ Detroit
Anthony Gonzalez @ Jacksonville (Harrison is out)

Pick 1:
Michael Turner @ Minnesota
Dominic Rhodes @ Jacksonville (Addai doubtful)

[volcanicweather]

Moore and Gonzales, screw Ward with how Rothlesburger has been lately

Your RB situation is tricky, go with Rhodes if Addai doesn't play because the JAX team morale is so deflated... otherwise roll with Turner. Fred Evans is a decent replacement at DT for Pat Williams, but Turner should still get some yards.

[Resin]

Here's my setup for the championship. Thoughts?
