One of my nfl.com teams has the second most points, but Im 1-2. The 3-0 first place team, which edged me this week has something like 35 less than I do at this point.
Luck is a double edged sword. Just remember that all you need is the final playoff spot, to give yourself a 25% chance at winning it all. Anything can happen in the playoffs.
Thanks to eagles21 for the awesome sig
2011:
Representin' the Cafe in the IBL league: 73-34, 15-8 in Championship Tier playoffs BBKL: 7-6 Money league: 9-4, #1 seed one and done
In my league, I'm tied for 1st place, 3-0, with a total of 351.1 pts. While, my one of my friends is in dead last with a 0-3 record and has a total of 350.98 pts. The luck of FF, playing the right team, the right week.
The only part about your team that I didn't like was your defense. But other than that, you have a good team. I think you've just had some bad luck. Especially the poster Moonhead - he's got a great team and is 0-3. Don't be tempted to mess with your team by dropping some guy and going for the next Jerry Rice or Walter Payton - stick to your guns.
I got a team that should be 0-3 but eeked out a win this week because the other guy started 3 players on a bye and Droughns who was inactive.
QB: Delhomme (wk1), Plummer (wk2, dropped), Grossman (wk3)
RB: S. Alexanders, W. Parker, F. Gore, A. Green
WR: C. Johnson, M. Harrison, Roy Williams, A. Bryant, D. Bennett
TE: Cooley (wk1, dropped), Dallas Clark (wk2, dropped), Desmond Clark
K: Stover
DST: IND (wk1,wk2), ATL (wk3)
Now I was pretty happy with this team after the draft and getting Gore off waivers was a nice pickup. But man...
Week 1 score - ME 23 : OPP 57 LOSE
Week 2 score - ME 71 : OPP 72 LOSE
Week 3 score - ME 52 : OPP 17 WIN (this win explained above, LOL)
It happens. I'm the 2nd highest scorer in my 12 teamer. I am 3rd out of 4 in my division.
QB: Mcnair*, Green
RB: Portis*, Westbrook*, Jordan, K Jones, Brown ( I also had DD )
WR: Holt*, D. Jackson*, Porter
TE: Clark
K: Kaeding
DEF: IND*, CIN
Leftwich, Rivers, Grossman
Tiki, Jamal, KJ, Benson, Morris, Jacobs
CJ, TO, Moss, Bryant, Coles
Heap
San Diego
Wilkins.
I thought the team looked pretty darn good. You would never believe that the QBs have been performing just fine, and that it's the WRs that have been sucking. Them and D. I had Carolina. Projected #1 D by a lot of "experts" before the season.
This team of mine in a 10 team league had huge potential preseason but now is 0-3.
Qb: Pennington, Delhomme, Brees (I use 3 qbs to swap them for matchup.)
Rb: Sjax, Lamont Jordan, Kevin Jones
Wr: Reggie Wayne, Chambers, Andre Johnson, Troy Williamson
Te: Chris Cooley
K: Akers
Def: Seattle.
and to think my draft was a "work of art" (lol) heres my let down team
Bulger, penninton
S jackson, W dunn, k jones, foster
C johnson, R Moss, R william, A bryant (drafted edwards but dropped him
T Heap, K Winslow
J Elam
Seattle and San Diago defense.
Now can you really look at this teams and think i'd be 0-3!! o well i have to go 5-0 over the next few weeks.
