Out of all fairness Hitman, I would really prefer to have someone from SU fill the spot since a trophy is being put up by SU.Quote:

In the other league I'm in I have Felix Jones and he got hurt, so I picked up the back up Murray. But I started Marshaun Lynch instead. Lynch apparently got 0.0 points and Murray got over 30.... As a result I am going to lose for the first time in that league.Quote:

I'd probably still lose, but at least I'd have a chance.
I'll like to thank everyone for making this a very competitive season. Our playoffs start this week, and here are the match-ups for the winners bracket.
#1 Team Duke vs #8 Killer B's
#2 Team Weis vs #7 Dick Lebeau's Wrecking Crew
#3 The Regulators vs #6 Nowfor7
#4 NCSteelers vs #5 Steel Devil
In the consolation bracket, 4 teams will fight for honor.
#9 Team Texas vs #10 Steel City Pride
#11 Team Suit vs #12 Team Webb
Good luck to everyone in the playoffs!!!
Hey, I'm actually ind of on a roll right now due to (can't believe this) Marshawn Lynch and Rex freaking Grossman!

Oh well good luck to the rest of you guys in the playoffs!!
Good game HTG. I thought Eli was going to bring you back by scoring 50 FREAKING POINTS! That's just crazy!
I'm hoping we can cut our keepers back to like 2 or maybe 3 next year. I made a ton of moves and was able to at least maintain some kind of inconsistent competitiveness, but my team was really doomed from the start due to not being all that great LAST year and being stuck with 12 mediocre players. Since all the studs were pretty much taken, there wasn't much of a chance for me to improve.
I have to agree, the amount of keepers we have now is a bit much. Even taking into account that you must drop one of your two best players, it still doesnt give any of the mediocre teams a chance to buid up a decent team because after round 1, every other good player is gone. Most leagues Ive played in only keep 3 or so players, or if there is more keepers than that it is offset by a rule saying no first or second round picks can be keepers (too late for that I suppose, the league has already been established).Quote:

An example is my running back situation. In 2010, I drafted a couple decent RB's but lost them due to attrition and/or injury. So I was forced to pick up some scrubs stop-gaps, like Mike Tolbert, just serviceable guys who really are more like 3rd options. My QB was also Shaub, who is good, but with the emergence of Arian Foster, played less and less of a role.
Fast forward to 2011, and I'm loaded up with very average RB's, and by time I drafted at like #5 or #6 or whatever, all the decent backs that were left (not already kept on rosters) were already picked over (edit: I drafted Marshawn Lynch, and he's started producing for me, but it took almost all season to get there). So, although I'm very deep and solid at WR, my QB situation was shaky and my RB situation was a wreck. Even with a favorable scoring system for passing like we have, fantasy leagues are still RB driven. I was doomed from the start.
If we can reset a little next year, back it down to maybe 2 or 3 keepers at the most, it will give us bottom feeders a chance to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps. I also might recommend changing the draft order from random to bottom up (just like the NFL). If I only win 5-6 games this year, and end up drafting #12 AND I'm stuck with 12 of these losers, I'll finish just as badly or worse next year...

Im pretty sure the draft is bottom up.Quote:

So, essentially, the monster teams never have to drop any marquee players they have (besides one of the top two players, which are all scooped up in the first round anyway, so you are just trading talent for talent).
Again, Im not trying to stir the pot, its all just a game after all, just throwing out some suggestions to mull over.
I thought the draft was random....I could be wrong...
It was random the first year, pretty sure it went bottom up this yearQuote:
