2005 Orangemane-Neck Pony Nation FFL (Includes latest 2006 league news)

[Mtbrncofn]

I must send my sincere thanks to Rascal for that trade. It paid off ****loads for me today. Thank you Mr. Smith and Mr. Parker!

[Old Dude]

Something is messed up. The rules said QBs lose 1 pt for each sack, but the scoring doesn't reflect that.

[Mtbrncofn]

After reading through that little message board thing on the site, it sounds like there are a few things going wrong, OD.

[Pezman]

Hopefully the scoring has been changed. The MyFFL software was having some issues today. It should reflect the real scores shortly I hope.

The live scoring problem was all over ESPN, FFLToolbox and MYFFL leagues today. Hopefully this will not be a reoccuring problem or I'll be on the phone with their techs ready to kick ass....

[Pezman]

OK, live scoring corrections have been made. Hopefully it will reflect it even in live scoring...

[Sideburn]

Good work pezzie.

[Mtbrncofn]

I'd say good work. Looks like I've got a decent chance of being high scorer! Not that it means anything in this one, but hey I'll take it.

[Pezman]

Sorry again for the trouble folks... Shacky and I tested the scoring on the site but I and I alone am solely to blame for the running back bonus, and QB sack error as I somehow overlooked it all week. Hopefully, next week will run much smoother!

[Old Dude]

Well, I was finally able to access the front page and catch up with everything.

I don't understand the deal about QB sacks, though.

At the time we drafted, the league scoring rules clearly said that QBs would lose 1 point for each sack sustained. That's one of the reasons I put off drafting a QB until the 8th round. (Because it tended to reduce QB scoring as a whole and level off the crowd.) So far as I can tell, that rule was still in effect when the games started, because the live scoring was showing the deductions for sacks, ... but next thing I know, the scoring rules change? When did this happen? When was the decision made?

Did I miss an announcement?

Obviously, it burns me that I went against Bulger, who got sacked 6 or 7 times, while Delhomme only got nailed once. Though I've probably already lost this week, it just doesn't seem fair to change scoring rules after the draft and after the games have started.

[Rascal]

PISS OFF! :cuss:

I won't break 50 in any of my leagues this week. By far the worst fantasy performance I've ever seen. All well just one week....at least it had better be.

[DBroncos4life]

I can't ever get into the site. It won't load. I had the same problem with ESPN's site but I expect that from a site with the amount of people playing on that site. My CBS/NFL.com worked perfect, well except a few times during the day. Its 8:30 in the morning and I still can't get a page to load on our site. Is it not working for everyone or is it just me?

[Rascal]

Nope wouldn't work for me half the time as well. Just sits there and spins.

Again, the scoring bonuses for running backs was an oversight that I missed (I apologize profusely for missing that), but the QB sacks should never have been in there from the start. This league has the exact same rules as previous years and I'm still uncertain how the sacks were even listed since the entire scoring system was imported directly from Sportsline. Sorry about that confusion.

Like I was telling another commissioner last night, the problem with switching to a new site sometimes can be a cumbersome and trying process, especially with 24 teams in tow. But, once we get the kinks smoothed out after the initial week, we should run far smoother ^5

I've been in contact with MYFFL this morning trying to find out why the site was so slow in running live scoring yesterday, but, they have been overwhelmed with the same type of questions all day so I suspect it could be a few hours til we here back from them.

By the way, DBroncos and Rascal, I had no trouble accessing the league's homepage this morning. Are you still having issues?

[MajikMan7]

Again, the scoring bonuses for running backs was an oversight that I missed (I apologize profusely for missing that)

Yeah riiiiiight. We believe you. :stupid:

[Rascal]

My troubles were last night.

[Rascal]

Wow....Kurt Warner was the leading rusher for the Cardinals. OUCH!!!!

[Pezman]

My troubles were last night.

Ah, then yes, it was defintately because of their live scoring. Today, I've had no trouble with the site. By the way Rascal, I gave your team a helmet logo ;D

[Rascal]

I didn't notice that but I did notice the Geek League helmets 4321~

Until my players prove otherwise by doing something worthwhile it will remain.

To get less then 50 points from that roster is just incredible. Hell I didn't break 50 in any of my fantasy leagues.

Still can't get to the site BTW. What's the score of my game currently?

[Old Dude]

... This league has the exact same rules as previous years and I'm still uncertain how the sacks were even listed .... Sorry about that confusion.

...

So the intention was always to keep the scoring exactly the same as it was in the previous leagues?

I didn't realize that, because we obviously have one huge difference from last year's rules - - which is that passing TDs are only worth 4. I figured the -1 for sacks was just another aspect of toning down the QBs.

Oh well, consider my protest filed and rejected. I'm not going to prolong the misery by bellyaching about it.

Hate to do it (enjoy it actually Ha!) but my bench has 70 points right now. I still have 2 players to go as well! (Geek league)

In the Mane league I had a horrible start and now I've lost my #1 WR for the season. Looks like I'll be rolling with Tatum as my flex player now. DJackson and Kennison/Galloway will be my starting WR's! That sucks. Kevin Jones is going to have to do better than 8 pts per game too. I was counting on 15 from him... not too much to ask either! 90 yards and a touch...comeon!

It's only the first week so I'm not to worried.

I think my bench outscored my starters in every league.

You can't do much when Alexander, Martin, Jamal, and other stud RB's give you less then 10 points and your QB's (green, Favre, Delhomme) don't give you more then 10 points. LT had 13 points....HELLO!!!!! Seemed like all my players decided to have their sucky ass game all at once (in all leagues).

I wouldn't be so pissed if the Broncos had won...but throw the two together and it really sucks.

Losing Javon is going to hurt you a lot.

How so? He gave me 2 points today and I ended up with 100 in spite of him!

Losing Javon isn't going to hurt... but Kevin Jones not putting up a 100 and atleast 1 TD IS GOING TO HURT! No excuse for that. My team was never built on WR's winning it for me!

I will say that it kind of sucks giving up both Lee Evans and Jimmy Smith in the trade that brought back Walker..... I was talking to Philly the other night and was planning on using him in part of a trade... though it wsa a little later in the season. Don't worry about me though. I've got a few tricks up my sleeve yet!!! I'll find my Mushin Muhammed and be a strong player all season..... I HOPE! ;D

[Mtbrncofn]

Nope wouldn't work for me half the time as well. Just sits there and spins.

I have the same problem most of the time. I just keep trying until it finally loads enough for me to do what I have to. Even when it does load, it always says done, but with errors on the bottom.

[DBroncos4life]

Any chance the site will be up today???

[Mtbrncofn]

I was just on it.

[Pezman]

Oh the humanity Bosko....

Worst...loss....ever!

[DBroncos4life]

I was just on it.


I bet you say that to all the boys :devil:





























runs and hides :boohoo:

[DBroncos4life]

Hey why do picks returned for Tds count against the D? Seems kind of crappy that it goes to the points allowed when they really didn't allow them.

[Pezman]

Hey why do picks returned for Tds count against the D? Seems kind of crappy that it goes to the points allowed when they really didn't allow them.

Yeah, I hate that too. It sucks when a defense gets punished for an offensive mistake leading to a score. Lord knows I've lost more games over the years because my d got punished with their sloppy offense giving up points ugh!~

[Rascal]

Hey pez shouldn't waiver wire go from last place to first?

[Pezman]

Hey pez shouldn't waiver wire go from last place to first?

Yes it does... but remember, standings havent been officially calculated until tomorrow morning methinks so it could take a bit to update the standings...

[Rascal]

Based on my performance I should be first or second on the waiver wire order. :(

[DBroncos4life]

What does Efficiency Rating mean??

[Pezman]

What does Efficiency Rating mean??

It means that if you screwed up like Pezzy did this week, you left a hell of a lot of potential points sitting on your bench. In fact, they should rename that effeciency rating into the Stupid Peznon-effeciency rating after today :vermeil:

Oh so does it count for something or is it just there for fun? 98.8 is pretty good though :pimp:

[Pezman]

Oh so does it count for something or is it just there for fun? 98.8 is pretty good though :pimp:

If nothing else, its a good stat for us to humiliate each other Ha! The way waivers is determined is

#1 - Overall Winning Percentage
#2 - Head To Head Record
#3 - Total Points Scored
#4 - Conference Winning Percentage
#5 - Divisional Winning Percentage
#6 - Power Rank
#7 - (if it ever comes this far) Reverse Order of Opponents Total Points scored

All "Waiver Sort Criteria" displayed above are applied in a "worst-to-first" manner.

You should be mad at your TE, he dropped, I don't know....3 points worth of passes. ;)

[Mile High Shack]

ok so the ramblings are up

kinda a week effort, but I'm rusty, give me a break

[Rascal]

I got taken back to the woodshed on that one....my team enjoyed it. Damn flamers.

I need to change the picture of my team and rename it.

My new team name is rascal's flaming fairies.

Rep to whoever finds me a fitting picture.

Never mind I found one.

[Rascal]

From Shack's ramblings:

MT v Sassy......MVP of this game was Bastards sonsofad’oh for trading Willie Parker to MT and his 29 points (pay attention Pezzy, this is how you start a RB). Oh yeah, let’s not forget trading Jimmy Smith and his 28 points to her as well. Here we thought rascal laid the pipe down on her with this trade, but alas, it was her that donned the strap-on and gave it to good ole’ rascal.

Slobberknockers vs. Bastards sonsofad’oh!

Slobber “beats” the Bastards 65-54. Now, when I say beat, I don’t mean in the literal sense you expect a victor to come out on top, but I mean beat in the sense that someone had to win the game. This low scoring affair was like watching 2 no armed, no legged men try to beat each other to death, all it was, was a lot of shouting, swearing, sweating and rolling on each other and slobber winning by sheer determination. The MVP of this game is Jeff Wilkins again with 19 points….again a kicker, all I can do is shake my head and wonder what has happened to our fantasy game when a kicker scores more points than Daunte Culpepper (which coincidentally, Slobber had as well) sonsofad’oh, let’s count how many points you traded away this weekend. Larry Fitzgerald (24) Willie Parker (29) and Jimmy Smith (28). Apparently rascal is a giving individual who prefers to help others instead of himself. Hey rascal, it ain’t Christmas ya moron, so quit giving your boys away for free!!! Apparently I hear Jamal Lewis is available for a 12 pack of Keystone Light and a used condom, hurry, supplies are limited

[Old Dude]

ok so the ramblings are up

...

I'd rep you again, but twice in one day would make people think the rep whores are easy.

Evil givers of Head vs. Philly
Philly beats his Head 121-89. Philly literally maxed out his potential, 100%, he could not of scored any better, of course with bench players such as Antowain Smith, Bill Volek, Ciatrick Faison and Travis Henry, it’s no wonder he maxed out at 100%. I’m not saying Philly isn’t deep, I’m just saying, I have talked to 6 year olds with more depth to them. MVP goes to Jimmy Smith, he along with Keenan tried to relive their glory days with the Jagwads, 2 TDs for Jimmy Smith as well to give him 28 points? Wow, here is to 40 year old legs, or however hold he is. The Head got zero points from Daunte Culpepper…..let me restate the for effect…..Z-E-R-O points. Daunte scored as much as me this weekend, and I was sitting on the couch doing nothing. The evil head brigade is getting their paybacks from last year, I mean he did sell his soul, the devil only gives you one year Sideburn, not two. You used your year up last year, I hope you sleep in that damn jersey.

Oh I do. Every night! I also repeat these scores in my head while I sleep

[Old Dude]

For anyone who's interested, Josh Brown is now a Pez dispenser.

[Rascal]

What flavor?

[Old Dude]

Tar.

[Mtbrncofn]

Hilarious! Great as usual, Shacky! Don't look too rusty to me!

Mmmhhhmmm. Ever hear that old saying, "Pride goes before a fall", SB? Bwahahahahahahaha.....it gotcha! :P

[Sassy]

I think we should have a redraft after week 8 ;D

That sounds like some evil plan OD would hatch on Survivor Island, Sass!

Pride? What's that? Now if you mentioned ego somewhere around there, ok.

[Mtbrncofn]

K, ego goes before Sideburn's fall in FFL.

That just has a better ring to it in any case.

[Old Dude]

I think Sideburn gets to beat up on the Rep Whores this week.

Only good thing is that I'll be off on my annual mountain retreat when it happens ... so I won't be able to hear all the screaming.

[Pezman]

Heh, we are counting on you snuffing the evil head with your whores of rep :pimp:

As for my opponent...Garcia, bring it on old man... I will dominate your sorry ass this week

[ØrangeÇrush]

So, I'm at a loss of what to do already. There are multiple avenues that my flex could go this week.

Do I go with Ronnie Brown and the Surprisingly efficient Dolphins offense against the Jets. Larry Johnson and Priest Holmes ran roughshod all over them this last week, plus the Jets offense sputtered worse than ours, and pennington provided quite a number of TO's. This would make for more potential scoring opportunities....or

Do I go with TJ Duckett and the goal line opportunities therein. With the inability of the Seachickens to sustain drives, coupled with a playmaking defense, the potential for many Scoring opportunitieas again arises.....or

Do I go with Larry (Diapers) Johnson and the KC offensive line. Scoring doesn't look as good with him because of Priest Holmes, until you factor in that their playing the Chokeland offense. Since their Defense is non-existant, I won't even compare them to KC's offense. The potential for a 100 yard game plus multiple TDs is very compelling, but you have to factor in the Holmes quotient...or

Stay with Fred Taylor. The Jags play the Colts tough, and they will be playing ball control offense. Taylor looked great last week, and showed no ill effects from playing his first extensive action. Factor in that the Colts defense played the Ravens offense last week, and you can't help to think they probably aren't as good as they looked. Greg Jones doesn't look like he'll be vulturing Goal Line carries yet( I hope)....

I won't talk about my WR core, pathetic I know, so we know I won't be flexing with them....


Damn Choices... I know whichever of the four are all going for 100+ and 2+ TD's this week....damn them!

It must be rough to have all those RB's to choose from :vermeil:

[Broncoman13]

I've got similar problems!!!

Of these folks I have to pick 2 RB's, 2 WR's, and 1 WR/RB for a flex. I think I'll go 3 RB's and 2 WR's.

Willis McGahee, Kevin Jones, Willie Parker, Larry Johnson, TJ Duckett at RB.

Anquin Boldin, Derrick Mason, Lee Evans, Brandon Lloyd, Frisman Jackson, and Greg Lewis at WR.

As of right now I'm going with Kevin Jones, Willis McGahee, and Willie Parker at RB and Flex. Boldin and Mason at WR.

That should give me about 70 points with those 5. My RB's have tough match-ups, except for Willie Parker. I figure he'll end up with 20, Jones with 12-15, McGahee with 12-15. Both WR's should be good for right around 10. That should leave me sitting pretty w/ Bulger at QB 18 pts. Tony Gonzalez at TE 14 pts this week! And, the Bears D going up against the Lions... I'd say they get right around 8 points. Vanderjagt is my kicker and I'm guessing he'll go for about 10 pts vs the Jags. 3 xp's, 2 FG's one of which will be from 40+ out. That should put me up around 120 pts for the week...that *should* be enough for a win!

In other news, everytime I look at Philly's lineup in the OM league I want to puke!!! Dunn, Jimmy Smith, Tony Gonzalez.... They were all mine!!! All I have to show for those guys is Mark Bulger and an injured Dallas Clark. I got DeShaun Foster in the deal but dealt him for Tatum Bell. If Tatum winds up the starter I'll be able to compete with him, but Denver has to get stronger running the ball! I think I'm going to leave Tatum in the line-up this week. I think the Broncos are showing a little "Gamesmenship" by saying MA is now probable. I think he'll be available but I think Tatum gets the majority of the work! HE STAYS IN MY STARTING LINEUP!!!

[Sideburn]

Anyone want Culpecker? I'll trade him for a bag of doritos nacho cheesier!

[DBroncos4life]

why do I have the only backs that don't get touches inside the 1 yard line??

[Mile High Shack]

Anyone want Culpecker? I'll trade him for a bag of doritos nacho cheesier!

I think you'd only get him for a bag of moldy sour cream and salsa pork rinds at this point

[Sassy]

One would think the combo of Manning/Harrison would get me a few points...NOT! Blah.

[Mtbrncofn]

I love it when I leave a receiver ( Braylon Edwards ) on the bench and he scores points I badly need. :cuss:

[DBroncos4life]

My team may win but it still sucks.

[Pezman]

Sigh... only 130something points this week? My bench had 60 points that I didnt utilize again. Can you say... DEPTH BABY!!!

I am down 40 points to you with a few players, I still have a small "chance"

[Mtbrncofn]

Whew! I was sweatin bullets there for awhile. I tanked in Geek this week, but at least pulled out the win against you, Shacky. Sorry.


Not really. :P

[Rascal]

I gave TJ a gift this week. If I start Favre, DJ, and Carolina I walk away.

Not good when you have more points on your bench then as your starters. That's twice I've lost a game because I suck at choosing who to start.

All well the talent is there I just need to remove my head from my ass.

Of course Jamal and McGahee giving me 4 points isn't going to help. Ouch.

[REB]

Yeah it looks like I just squeaked by this week by 4 pts. I'm glad I started Favre this week. That makes me 2-0! :charge:

My team sucks too! All three of my teams are 2-0. On a side note I am in dead last in the pickem league ???

[Pezman]

At least its comforting to know that old Shacky is part of that legendary 0-2 staff over there on the NPN ;D

It really does look like there are some real standout teams emerging after only a couple of weeks over there. MT looks pretty dangerous fellas... beware of the sophmore FFL'er since she sneaks up on you!

[Mtbrncofn]

Ha. I have reverse luck or something this year. Last year I stunk it up in the OM league. Injuries killed me. I conquered all in Geek. So this year I am switching it up I guess. Better luck in OM than Geek.

Of course the stupidity of not starting at least Shockey isn't helping me out too much. And if the FFL gods had tapped me on the shoulder and told me to start Edwards........

[Mtbrncofn]

Dang, Mock knocked me out of top spot in the power rankings. :cuss:

if I would learn who to start, I'd be 2-0 easily

damn the luck

should be an interesting rant today

I'm in a bad mood to begi with _i_O_i_

[ØrangeÇrush]

BAH!

I've gotten lucky two weeks in a row. Shack could've beaten me in week one. This week Mtbrncofan will probably take me to the cleaners. Twice now I've kept Johnson on the bench, in favor of Taylor. Now I face the moral dilemma, do I start Johnson against Denver....I probably won't cause our Rush Defense hasn't been to shabby.

[Rascal]

Trade him to me and I'll make the decision for you :)

[ØrangeÇrush]

Trade him to me and I'll make the decision for you :)

Haven't you had enough of trades?

You've Given:
Randy McMichael = 30 pts
Willie Parker = 49 pts
Jimmy Smith = 32 pts
Larry Fitzgerald = 33 pts

You've Received:
Nate Burleson = 8pts
Darrel Jackson = 28 pts
Mark Campbell = cut already

:nono:

[Rascal]

Hell no...I've still got good talent to throw away damnit!!!

:moody: :cuss:

The only one I regret is the one with MT. DJ is going to put up a lot of points and McMichael wasn't going to ever start for me with Gates in front of him.

[ØrangeÇrush]

Hell no...I've still got good talent to throw away damnit!!!

:moody: :cuss:

The only one I regret is the one with MT. DJ is going to put up a lot of points and McMichael wasn't going to ever start for me with Gates in front of him.

Thats fine, however, DJax isn't worth a stud TE and #1 WR. Especially with Arizona not able to mount an effective ground game, they will be tossing the pig alot.

Of course its still too early to define the season for fantasy, however, if you'd held off a couple of weeks you could've gotten a lot more value than Nate Burleson with just Willie Parker. His value is soaring right now, and people who need backs would give up a lot for him.

You still have a good team with good depth, it just looks like your early season moves aren't paying off.

What really gets me is that you traded to studs to MTbrncofan, and she's in my DIVISION. She's gonna roll me this week...

thanx bud

I didn't say I was happy with the moves. I've sworn off all future preseason trades.

It's still early in the season so I'm not worried.

That's the reason I did it!!

That's the reason I did it!!

True, it is early, and if things sort themselves out, we probably won't see Jimmy Smith or Keenen McCardell go off like they did in week 1. Nice thing about being a rookie OManer/NPN league guy is that no one can talk about some of the more lopsided trades I've done.

Last year, I traded Gates, Kevin Jones, and Willis McGahee for Priest Holmes. This was week 6, and I figured Gates would be revealed as a fantasy bust in the 2nd half as San Diego took their annual swoon. Kevin Jones hadn't shown anything, and McGahee was still splitting carries with Henry.

Holmes gave me a couple good games including 4 of the 8 TDs they got on atlanta, but after that....ick..ugh...ugly.

Thank god, I had a team to build around....

I had J. Jones, Larry Johnson, Dominic Davis, Steven Jackson all on the bench...they carried me to the Championship and secured my victory...

I learned a good lesson...don't trade like an idiot again.

[Rascal]

I learned a good lesson...don't trade like an idiot again.

Yeah MT took me to the cleaners on that one.

I still think...pray to God he is anyway for my sanity...that Parker is going to be stuck in RBBC as soon as Bettis and Staley return.

Who knew Culpepper and Burleson would be struggling this bad. Woof!

[Mile High Shack]

if you 2 are done jerking each other off

let me say the Ramblings are up

I hate you about as much as I hate Nate Burleson.

I demand you quit calling my team Bastardssonfsofa'doh!!

Soon my team will unleash the dogs of war and you will feel my vengence!!!!!






Just not sure when.

[DBroncos4life]

I pretty sure I'm the lowest ranked 2-0 team. Come to think about it I bet there are 0-2 ranked higher then me and still I'm lower on the waiver wire :saywhat:

[Rascal]

Well it won't be next week against Mock.

Let's see:
Mock
McNabb...against Oakland OUCH!!
Edge....against Cleveland OUCH!!
Cadillac...against GB OUCH!!!
TO...combined with McNabb against Oakland OUCH OUCH!!!
Mush...against Cincy nothing special
Heap...bye thank God
Elam...against Chiefs at home...OUCH!!
Philly against Oakland...eh...nothing special.

Maybe I'll get a W in week 4.

[Mtbrncofn]

Man, I love to read all this stuff about that fabulous trade. ;D I heard that Parker just may have earned the starting job for some time because of his stellar performance. I hope they're right!

[phillybroncosnut]

Haven't you had enough of trades?

You've Given:
Randy McMichael = 30 pts
Willie Parker = 49 pts
Jimmy Smith = 32 pts
Larry Fitzgerald = 33 pts

You've Received:
Nate Burleson = 8pts
Darrel Jackson = 28 pts
Mark Campbell = cut already

:nono:


Yeah, trades like these go through yet Jake Plummer straight up for Rod Smith is vetoed by the 3 man panel. Nice job panel :puff:

[phillybroncosnut]

if I would learn who to start, I'd be 2-0 easily

damn the luck

should be an interesting rant today

I'm in a bad mood to begi with _i_O_i_


Payback time Shacky!

Part of being a good FF owner is knowing who to start!

I had to throw that out at you as payback for ripping my squad 2 weeks in a row dispite the fact that I'm 2-0.
I like the comment about my depth. Yes, I have Billy Volek and Antoine Smith as my backups but did you notice that I have McNair and Duece McAllister? It's a little thing in FF called a "cuff"! :blowhorn:

I'm not proud of what I did, but I knew I was too good lookin' to go 0-2.


Edit: Mock did not start McNabb?

Good lord.

[Sideburn]

Before Culpecker had a rushing td in garbage time, he had brought me in -7 points on the day. I refuse to give him up yet though. With Cmart looking like he's hurt, and Dayne starting to get carries in broncoland, my team may actually start doing something. I've had a tough road thus far. My runningbacks played tough defenses, and of course, Culpecker is costing me points. I really really really hate the scoring format this year. Penalized to much for things. I could see 1 point lost for an Int, but 2? Add that with 2 points lost on fumbles aswell...sigh. Did you guys want low scoring games?

[Broncoman13]

I honestly don't even want to post on this thread..... Fine, I'll admit it, losing Javon Walker really farks my season!!! Kevin Jones can't pull his head out of his ass either.... Freaking Tatum Bell is nowhere to be found and I'm messing up by not starting the freaking Colts D over the Ravens D!!! The Ravens were playing the Titans for crying out loud.

Anyhow, all is not lost. I didn't get beat by much and I'm 1-1 so I'm still better off than some people! :D

If James and Kevin Jones don't turn it up I'll be an easy win for anybody. If they come alive and Tatum finds the lineup I'll make ALOT of noise. Them's the breaks.

[Sassy]

Yeah..well when Manning and Harrison TOGETHER can't get you points...
When the "stars" have less points than the backups...what a weird season...
Oh well, if all three of my teams lose and the Broncos WIN that's all that matters. (like this past weekend!)

We should all be happy that Harrison is sucking ass! It means the Colts offense isn't doing well.

Michael Bennett, RB MIN

News: According to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, Vikings RB Michael Bennett's name has been mentioned in trade talks with the Arizona Cardinals. Bennett was originally drafted by Dennis Green in 2001 when he was with the Vikes.

Analysis: Bennett could thrive in Arizona, especially since his best years were with Green. If you have Bennett in your league, put the brakes on cutting him and wait out this situation. He could be sat down in Week 3 if the Vikings have a deal in place, but as of now is considered the starter for the game vs. New Orleans.

[Rascal]

To be honest I think that is complete BS. A trade like that in the middle of the season...I doubt it.

Vikings | Bennett to Arizona not likely
Fri, 23 Sep 2005 07:59:22 -0700

Sean Jensen, of the Pioneer Press, reports trade discussions between the Minnesota Vikings and Arizona Cardinals regarding RB Michael Bennett were initiated by the Vikings, Cardinals' vice president of football operations, Rod Graves, told the East Valley Tribune. Neither team, however, expects a deal. "I can't do anything about it," Bennett said. "I can just do my job, and if it's for me to get shipped out of here, then it's out of my hands."


Vikings | Moore Could Make First 2005 Start
Fri, 23 Sep 2005 07:55:28 -0700

Sean Jensen, of the Pioneer Press, reports if practices Wednesday, Sept. 21 and Thursday, Sept. 22 are any indication, Minnesota Vikings RB Mewelde Moore will start for the first time this season. He took the bulk of the carries during workouts on both days. Moore said he was unsure whether he would be the featured back against the Saints. But he said: "In my mind, I'm always a starter. So I always prepare that way. Whether I do or don't (start), I'll be ready." Vikings head coach Mike Tice has been mum on his running back plans.

Michael Bennett - RB - Vikings


RB Michael Bennett said yesterday that he won't let trade rumors bother him.
''It is a distraction,'' Bennett said. ''But I won't let it bother me. I can't do anything about it. I can just do my job, and if I get shipped out of here, then it's out of my hands.'' Sep. 23 - 9:29 am et

Michael Bennett - RB - Vikings


Michael Bennett hasn't talked to his agent about the trade rumors surrounding him.
The Vikings probably couldn't get anything more than a fourth or fifth round pick for Bennett. The lame duck front office and coaching staff probably don't want Mewelde Moore and Ciatrick as their only every-down options. Sep. 22 - 8:39 pm et

While I don't think he is headed to AZ, it is safe to say that something is up.

[Old Dude]

Anyone who's seen Arizona play this year knows that their problem is their run blocking. Simply put, they suck. Bennett wouldn't have any more success there than Shipp or Arrington.

[ØrangeÇrush]

WoW,

Rascal has benched Culpepper in favor of Trent Green and replaced Nate Burleson with Eddie Kennison.

I'm shocked...absolutely shocked!

This IS the week Culpepper turns it around. The Football Gods will not smile when you start TWO players against your own team. They will understand one, but not TWO.

On the positive, its good reverse mojo, since you always seem to put the worst players as your starters.

Yeah I know. I've been debating which one to start all week...ask Shack.

I'm going with Moore over KeyShawn for some crazy reason. I wish I knew for sure if Brown was going to play or if Henry is going to take more of the snaps. I went with Brown because everything I read said he was starting but that doesn't make it true.

[DBroncos4life]

three weeks 0 rushing tds. Is that not sad? I'm also glad Delhomme waited tell this week to go off as well. On the plus side Travis Taylor might be a good pick up for me, too bad I didn't start him over Moss :-[

Dude,

Its still early, don't give up. Its not like anyone is running away with the league. We're all kinda still pretty close. I'm guaranteed a double loss in week 7 since my defense and kicker are both on bye and my roster is stock full of RB's.

He will fight on and continue to lose.

Mock lost too, so I feel better. At least two of us fell from the ranks of unbeaten.

[Sideburn]

Hey Shack, when you do the ramblings for tomorrow, be sure to mention that some how, People score high points for the year against me. I'm giving up an average of 115.7 points per game (not like I can stop it). The next closest is Garcia at 109. Even if I score a hundred, which I have yet to do, I still can't win. My team sucks ass.

[Rascal]

Thanks.

Yeah but he also gave me some decent points and put away Mock for good.

And he got those yards because we were decimating them all across the field. It helps that he didn't get a TD also.

[Old Dude]

Other than starting Antonio Gates over Heiden, and keeping Marcus Robinson on the bench, I think that almost every coaching decision I made this week was the wrong one.

And next up are the undefeated Killer Goats ... ghaaa!

Good job as usual Shacky but for my game you wrote 1-2-3-REB lost again 104-115. This was my 1st loss. And don't it suck to lose after scoring 104 pts.? sheesh.

You should be able to pick it up there.

LOL It wouldn't have mattered either way looking at the scoring. :cuss:

[Mile High Shack]

I can't believe I actually won a game

[Old Dude]

Looks like there are still a few games on the line tonight.

Pez has a 9-point lead and Kasay, going up against Sutoazul who still has the GB defense on tap. (Suto probably regrets sitting the Falcons D, which would have scored 23.)

Garcia has a 16 point lead over Delaware, but Delaware still has Longwell on tap.

Mantooth, with a 7-point lead and the Panthers D looks like a winner over EHB, unless the GB offense drives the Panther D deep into negative numbers.

Philly’s got a huge 72 point lead over REB, but REB still has Favre, Driver, Davis & Smith to play. He needs to get an average of 18 points each out of all 4 of them.

NU Red trails Sassy by 2, but still has Delhomme on tap.

Karlis looks to be in good shape over Crunch, with a 34-point lead and Steve Smith vs. Kasay.

Shack wins unless Davis fumbles 27 times.

Mock has MT pretty well wrapped up, leading by 35 with Foster going against Longwell.

Ultra-Sonik leads the Bastard Sons by 18, and has A. Green yet to play, but the Bastards could still pull it out if Favre and the Carolina defense both score a bunch. (Hard to see how they could both be real successful at the same time though.)

If things hold up, Ultra-Sonik might wind up as the only undefeated team after just 4 weeks.

ha, I have three starting running backs. Tenn gave the ball to Payton inside the 5 yard line and then McNair ran it in from the one. Crap like that won't happen all year. I'm not going to toss Holt or Moss away just so I can get rushing TDs. Not going to happen. My RBs are getting the yards they just go away in the RZ.

Oops. Sorry about that. Didn't mean to rub salt. It's just that this is the first week that I guessed right at the QB spot. Trying to figure out whether to start Delhomme or Brooks has been like playing one of those bop-a-gopher games in the kiddie arcade.

Saints | McAllister Likely Out for the Year
Mon, 10 Oct 2005 09:50:40 -0700

Jay Glazer, of FOXSports.com, reports New Orleans Saints RB Deuce McAllister (knee) had an initial test on his injured knee, which showed a torn ACL. He will have a second opinion before deciding definitely on the season-ending surgery. All indications are that the Saints will have to continue without him for the remainder of the year.

I agree. When my team cant score more than 65 points a game, we must tweak it so that the Mean Machine gets at least a 50 point head start.... :bash:

As if Shacky didnt already have a terrible time with his team... good lord. The ironic thing about that injury to McCallister was that they were already completely beat down by that point when he got hurt. Why was the dude even in the game at that stage?

Looks like Davenport and Blaylock are also gone ...

What bugs ya with the system bro? Something over-inflated?

[Mile High Shack]

I think I used up all my luck last year to squeeze a 2nd place finish out of my team last year

d'oh well

Hopefully I can squeeze enough to make the playoffs with this sorry team

[Rascal]

Apparently Dillon has a serious injury as well.

Not a good week to be a RB.


***edit okay it's not suppose to be serious but nobody really knows either. LOL!!!

[Rascal]

So with K Faulk being out who replaces C Dillon? Amos or Pass?

Think our chances next week just went up.

[Arkie]

What bugs ya with the system bro? Something over-inflated?

It seems like a pretty typical scoring system to me. Nothing bugs me, but I made an observation. The defenses are penalized more for yardage than points. Rarely does a defense lose points from allowed points (I think 41+), but a defense will lose points for allowed yardage more frequently.

that is my only complaint

next year we need to tweak it where points allowed carry more weight than yardage

Hmm, good stuff Bosko and Shacky.

This year, we used the modified Zealots and Performance combination for the league scoring. It was very similar to last year's scoring with the exception of the defense, which I agree, appears to be overweight. I do think that 4 points for a QB td was a good move as it lowered the weight of their impact enough to bring the elite QB's back down to earth slightly.

One thing that I wonder, is if we should try something more performance based in the future, at least for wideouts and TE's. Something that rewards for a certain number of catches? Thoughts?

I agree with the defense being to much of an importance. I mean the Colts D putting up 33 freaking points? That's a bit much...no way should a defense lead to that many points.

I honestly don't know how I feel about PPR leagues I've had good and bad experiences with both. I think if we fix the defensive scoring system then that would solve a lot of problems.

[ØrangeÇrush]

All I know is that the Slobberknockers, knocked me on my ass with his starting QB on BYE! Colts defense =33pts? Ouch! No friggin TD's from any of my starting RBs. I left Fred (12 yards) Taylor on the bench, and he went off and had a good game. Kevin Curtis got shut out of the scoring fest last week, so I figure..bench. Kevin Curtis goes on and has a decent game....mutha...

You can't win for losing.....

[Rascal]

Damn.

TJ got the high scorer because of his bench.

:moody:

I think we could do a 1/2 point for every catch, but that's just me

and round

so like you have to have at least 2 catches to get a point...if you get 1 catch, you don't get 1/2 point

[Old Dude]

Actually, the defensive scoring is pretty much the same as last year, except that last year defenses got a +1 point bonus if they got three or more sacks. They don't get that anymore.

As I recall, the Seahawks had a couple huge 30-point games early in the season (before things fell apart). And I know that the Ravens had a couple games in the high 20's.

The Colt's performance on Sunday was really exceptional from a defensive scoring standpoint: 5 sacks, 5 defensive takeaways, 1 defensive TD, less than 200 yards and only 3 points allowed. That is not something that going to happen every week.

I think the reason that fantasy scoring is a little lower this year has very little to do with the system. The only real difference is that QBs are gettin 4 per TD pass instead of 6. If you assume that your QB is going to throw about 2 TDs per game (which is a lot, actually), that's only costing 4 points per game.

The bigger issue is that offenses in Houston, Indianapolis and Minnesota are not compiling yards or scoring anywhere close to what they did last year. Also, there are a bunch of teams that have gone to RBBC and are splitting carries between their backs.

[Rascal]

Yeah I know it didn't change much from last year but I thought the D's had to many points last year as well.

[Broncoman13]

Guess who has two thumbs and started Bell this week!?

BRONCOMAN13???


Guess who's finally starting to come alive!!!

Kevin Jones is starting to get on track now as well. Please don't look at his schedule now...all of you will feel bad for not trading for him!


As for everybody that's crying about the Defenses. Go take a look at the Geek League thread. Top defenses routinely score 20 points. Top kickers routinely go over 10 points. With the way this league scores mid level kickers can cost you points. It makes sense to go after a kicker earlier... That's exactly why I went after kickers that kick indoors for the most part. The last thing I want is a kicker COSTING me points!

Defense scoring in this league is actually down! Punt returns/Kick returns don't score points for you!!! Find a normal league and see what 5 turnovers, 5 sacks, a D TD, 3 points allowed and 200 yards of offens would score. I bet in the mid to upper 20's at least. Last but not least, take a look at the Colts D. Somebody said the Colts wouldn't do that EVERY game... true enough, they've been avg/ 15 per game and haven't played a really good offense yet. This week they have the Rams. I should bench them huh!!! Yeah right. Bulger throws a lot of picks and gets sacked as much as David Carr! If anything, I'm finding another QB to start!!!

[Broncoman13]

Yeah I know it didn't change much from last year but I thought the D's had to many points last year as well.


Try drafting a D a little eariler then jackass! I'm sure you probably have a 10th or 11th round defense and are biatching huh!!! Ha! ;D

[Old Dude]

Doubleheader time folks! This should be an interesting three week period

Is there a way that we can start different lineups in the doubleheaders? Or do we automatically have to play the same lineup in both games?

(Just thinking about hedging my bets ...)

the waiver wire priority never seems to chance

which sucks for teams with worse records.........doesn't seem fair

[Old Dude]

I think TJ might have some mob connections, too. I thought I was doing well since teams were only averaging 76 points a week against me through 5 games.

But they are only scoring an average of 73 against TJ!!!

If there's anything I hate, it's sucking hind teat on extortion fees.









Oh, wait. TJ plays in the toothless NPN conference ....

Never Mind.

That is a strange bug that the Myffl site has when viewing the waivers under the standings order.

It is however, not indicative of the real waiver order though. The waiver order does follow suit with the standings. For example, I'm currently 5th in the waivers order this week but the standings page has me indicated differently.

That is one problem I'm trying to fix with MYFFL but I think it might be a bug since we have two seperate conferences and the software might not be able to process it correctly on the standings page.

Old Dude, I think you will have to submit just one lineup this week but I will double-check it for you.

Garcia, good idea with informing everyone. I know the league newsletter is at the top of the page, but you'd be amazed at how many people glance past it Ha! I'll send out a leaguewide email soon

And when did you draft the Colts defense? That's what I thought.

ugh!~ again, that is also a complaint of mine with the site. Its very cumbersome to navigate through stats, free agents etc. I tell ya, as cool as some of the features are on Myffl.com, I really wish they would spend some better time and effort on their front end stuff (the type of controls that we cannot modify)

[Broncoman13]

Hey Shacky... I think you have to give the Colts D the MVP for the week. 33 points by my D!!! To think, I was seriously thinking about starting the Ravens D instead. Since they were playing the Lions I figured they'd be able to get a few turnovers from Joey. Glad I went with the Rookie led Niners offense playing the Colts D instead!

Also, if you look at my bench scoring. I left about 22 points on the bench! Pittman gave me 6 I think. Kevin Jones on my bench scored 17. Then the TE's that you mentioned with Stevens and Clark. I could have easily had a 180 point week! Not bad considering the injuries I've had to deal with! (D. Jackson, Javon Walker!) Thank goodness for waivers and free agents! Jurevicious did well!!!

Anybody think Tatum is going to take the starting job from MA anytime soon? If he does I'm sitting REAL pretty!

It's wierd, if you look at my OM team and then my Geek league team you would swear my Geek league team would be better. Not the case though! I do well to score 90 points in the Geek league. Rascal is going to tear me apart this week!

I'll be lucky to get 40 this week. I have two healthy WR's in J Jurevicius and Kennison and one healthy RB in LT.

Just wanted to point out something ...

If you guys decide to do the interconference double-headers again next year, it would really make sense to schedule the games, as TJ suggested weeks ago, during non-bye weeks.

This week is a good example. I have Terrell Owens on a bye. My NPN opponent, NU Red, has no one on bye.


(Maybe he did a few weeks ago, before various trades were made, but he doesn't now.)

As a result, I have to face Moss & Holt this week without Owens to help offset that.

The point being that although you guys went through painstaking efforts to match up teams in terms of players and bye weeks and such, all that effort went for naught as soon as we had a handful of high profile trades.

Even though I've been screwed by this situation, I'm not upset, because I've gotten so ridiculously freaking lucky on so many other aspects of this season. But it is still a good reason why you should rethink the scheduling of interconference games next year.

We now return you to your regular program.

[Mile High Shack]

personally

I'm not for interconference games to begin with

that was the "big bosses" call on that one

[Rascal]

Well I like my matchup this week and next week, but week 8 looks like I could easily go 0-2.
