NFL discussion/TLHH Fantasy League

who thumbed nappy down for that? i'm a die hard eagles fan and i agree with him 100%.

there you go nappy, evened it out for you.

I too like the eagles, but when you see an apple you call it an apple not an orange. On that note My first favorite team is the dolphins and boy have they been the laughing stock of the NFL for quite awhile. After that I guess I would pick the 49ers (because I grew up watching Rathman, Rice, Montana and those great players and loved them since). Glad to see them doing well at the beginning of the year . What about those Lions? I'm in a few pick em leagues and im afraid to jinx them by picking them to win each week so I will stay true and vote against them each week and hope that lets them win . Not a lions fan but I do like to see team make turn arounds like the lions are doing and I will pull for them each week until they go against the Dolphins (which they don't play this year) or 49ers (which they have week 6). I wouldn't mind seeing the Lions go 15-1 and if they end up beating the 49ers I might actually route for them to go 16-0. That team has been so bad for so long you can't help but hope they make something of themselves now or soon.

Yeah, I'm getting clobbered as well, the Steelers' Defense is really letting me down, I expected more from them.

I think your main problem is you put too many eggs in the same basket. Your lineup was 90% patriot/jet players. If the team has a bad week your entire fantasy team is dead. I remember the first year I played in a fantasy league I made that same mistake picked players from the team (granted I can't remember who the team was) I predicted to be the best in the league did't give my self variety and the sucked it up hard that year and I had a miserable fantasy year. I still tend to pick a few starters from the same team, but I'm no longer afraid to take the risk of grabbing some1 I think may be a little under the radar.

In the fantasy league I started with my family the all laughed at me when I took Aaron Rodgers the first year after Favre left. I won the league that year and have managed to draft Rodger every year since because they don't wanna admit he is that good and I show something they all missed. They basically tell me every year he is gonna prove his worth and flop and they won't take the chance and leave him for me to draft in later rounds as I pick up decent runningbacks in the first 2. Granted it a risk I take every year waiting on him til round 2 or 3, but my family are all football fanatics and they can't admit when they are wrong .

Remember they have to play the Packers twice. And Rodgers is a fricking beast!!! So if they beat the Packers then thats even better for them. But before I say There division winners they have to beat Green Bay.

[sickofpalantirs]

I proposed a trade to Cry Babies whoever that is.  Also if anyone needs a QB I have Michael Vick and Stafford, which is starting to seem a tad excessive.  Make me an offer.

[LOTRFreak15]

I have A-Rod, Fitzpatrick, and Cam. Very over excesive.

[FM]

Well I have Sanchez if anyone is willing to take the risk.
And I'm in need of good RBs and WRs, mine are simply not pulling their weight, at least I'm less than happy with Jamaal Charles and Plaxico Burress (and, to a lesser extent, Jordy Nelson, though I'm willing to give him the benefit of doubt for now).

That Giants win over Philly felt so good. And I liked how they bounced back in the 4th against the Cards.
Speaking of the Giants, anyone have my man Victor Cruz?

[LOTRFreak15]

I added Cruz this morning and Tolbert. Can't believe he wasn't on anyone's team.

[LOTRFreak15]

Anyone want to trade for Cam??

[LOTRFreak15]

Well Cam is traded so anyone interested in Fitzpatrick?

Your very welcome, I want my revenge against the team that beat me. Sadly when I play them next AP is on a bye week =(. Maybe I can alter my team enough to get a win anyway, Cmon week 9 get here .

Yeah, I really need some better RB and WRs. At least, some more consistent ones. And decide who my TE is once and for all. Can't seem to get enough mileage off of LT and both Jordy Nelson and Jermichael Finley are underperforming severely. As for options, Plaxico Burress is not pulling his weight, and Randal Cobb is a wild gamble I decided to take, so can't expect much anyway.
