5th Annual BGO Ballers Fantasy Football League

[McD5]

If it's any consolation, Neo is one of the best players on the board.

Who is your QB BB?

 

[Shi no Tenshi]

Rashad Jennings had 2 TDs versus Jacksonville. Tennessee actually could be feisty on occasion, Jacksonville is a limp rag half the time.

Also, you have Eddie Lacy versus Atlanta. You just need Roethlisberger to have a good game. And Jimmy Graham is due a bounce back game.

He has Cam, who could very likely be...well, Cam.

You aren't dead yet.

Side note: Kel Varnsen got 11.4 points combined from Benjamin and Forte last week. He put up 200 points.

 

[McD5]

Oh that's a good roster BB. Big Ben, Lacy and Graham are all dangerous. Great roster in fact.

 

[Burgundy Burner]

I appreciate the encouragement. I really do. But the numbers don't add up. The three aforementioned receivers that he has will probably bring a hefty amount of points and I had two underperformers tonight in Dez and Marshall - 12.3 points in all. Denard Robinson is my lone remaining WR and that may bring ten to twelve points, but not much more. Probably looking at a thirty point deficit at WR positions after the final tally comes in.

30.8 points for him tonight at RB. Foster could bring me 25 and it would still be a deficit. A bit of an edge for me with Lacy as the second RB and the remaining positions are a push. All I'm doing is the math and it was lost tonight with an injury and Dez laying an egg.

Again, great night for Neo and a real letdown for my team.

 

[Burgundy Burner]

I just had two points added to my score for some reason. If Yahoo made a mistake in my favor, then it needs to be corrected. Just want to be fair.

 

[McD5]

Yahoo will fix everything.

And after seeing your two rosters, wow mine really sucks.

 

[Burgundy Burner]

Yeah, it is quite a roster. Toss in Cody Parker and Houston defense and it is a paper tiger, but a huge disappointment last week and now.

 

[Shi no Tenshi]

They credited Dez with a Fumble he didn't commit. So you get the 2 points back they took away for the fumble.

Remember, you also said you were out of the playoff race in what, week 5? You are just a natural pessimist for this

Don't worry, Neo was convinced he was toast last week too. I think this is a great matchup for you two. By Sunday afternoon it will be an Eeyore fight

 

[Burgundy Burner]

Pessimist? Maybe. Realist? Pretty much.

Thanks for the clarification of points. Those two points account for one-fourth of his total tonight, lol. Thanks Dez.

 

[Shi no Tenshi]

Realist knows that it's a coin flip, and that that Brandon Marshall injury could happen to anybody on his team on Sunday. Or they could just not get a catch, or they could cough up the ball, etc.

Being a realist means you know nothing is decided on this until you have 0 players left to play.

You very well may lose. But no matter what the projections say, you have just as much a chance of winning as you did 5 hours ago.

 

[Neophyte]

If it's any consolation, Neo is one of the best players on the board.

I am? Thank you, sir. High praise.

Again, great night for Neo and a real letdown for my team.

It ain't over till the fat lady sings. Last weekend I totally should have lost and you should be playing Nobody this weekend. Neither Sanders or Gordon had a good day for me last weekend. My QB situation is abismal. My TE situation is totally hit or miss and I can't pick a defense to save my life.

You are totally still in this. Almost anyone on your roster could go off and have a huge day.

They credited Dez with a Fumble he didn't commit. So you get the 2 points back they took away for the fumble.

Remember, you also said you were out of the playoff race in what, week 5? You are just a natural pessimist for this

Hey now, I resemble that remark!

And I should have been toast last weekend. Once Sanders wet the bed I had no business winning that matchup. I'm not giving it back, you understand but I had no business winning.

Inactives just started at the ESPN link.

link: NFL Nation Blog - ESPN

NFL.com also has one but it is less desirable because you have to refresh it everytime you want an update while the ESPN continually refreshes the list.
If you want to look at that one it is at:

I don't know if I want to see either of them - already getting killed with injuries for the week...

We all feel very sorry for your 45 points from 2 WRs.

 

[Burgundy Burner]

At least I don't have to worry about any games the rest of the way. Best of luck to the final four in each league.

 

[McD5]

Even if you lose in this round BB, you'll still have another game.

 

[Dead Money]

Hey Shi can you buy me a lottery ticket?
Peyton Manning puts up 2.72 points and D. Thomas puts up 1.10 on your playoff bye week and you still score 129?
Unbelievable.

I just may have a good team. Maybe. We'll find out next week!

You never know, cause I could still lose next week and anything that happened this week would mean nothing.

I know JohnssBass is gunning for me, but he has to go through you first. And I have to win. So he may be highly disappointed.

 

[Burgundy Burner]

Congrats to the final four in both leagues. I entered the playoffs as a third seed, but knew that a win was not likely. Neo was loaded with super-talent all of a sudden and the game was never in doubt. I can't complain when getting beat by a much better team. Congrats to him.

I needed nearly 42 points tonight and my lone player had just under 20 at halftime. I still figured it was a longshot and he scored just three more points. A valiant effort, but no shining moment.

Not sure what is next, but they say another game awaits. On to next week.

 

[McD5]

Geez Shi. Yahoo is predicting a huge blowout in our game this weekend.

This could be incredibly ugly.

 

[Boone]

In my work league i was down almost 70 points after Sunday's games. 2 players on MNF and I won. Too bad I don't have that kind of luck with my BGO team. Congrats to the winners.
