Ohhhhhhhhhhhh shit
peyton manning vs the jags ffs. just bench him
I'll give you montee ball for cruz
How about actually looking at people's rosters to find an owner who you think can match your needs maybe instead of being a cockend
You where kinda getting at me to be honest, so I don't really know why you are getting all sandy about it towards Torn and Fro about it. Do you think I should offer you Doug Martin for him?
To be fair to you I wouldn't have accepted Law Firm either but we kinda need to open with something to see if we could work anything out, no?
Not a problem, so about that Russell Wilson trade...
I'd think about Doing Jackson for Wilson straight up as long as I know he is coming back after his bye week. If that's something you are interested in.
Everyone is either 3-2 or 2-3. I guess when there's cash at stake and people are trying hard, it's pretty even
So my team finally has a good week, i scored the 2nd most points in the league and i still lose
Ahaha unlucky mate.
I survived Luck and Wayne on Monday night following the Chiefs putting up 27 points against me to get to 3-3, Knowshon Moreno saved me.
rivers or newton this week?
im gonna start rivers, he is going agaisnt the jags and he is a beast but i still dont know if i should pull the trigger. cam was great last week.
who would you start?
I thought you were talking about this league, in which I'm playing you, and I was going to suggest you start Rivers for my own sake.
Start Cam. It could go either way but I would roll with Cam unless the matchups are very slanted, and this week they are not (Cam at home vs the Rams who they are favored over by 7 points)
yeah i still dont know, rivers is projected way higher by espn.
I'd start Cam
I'm going to start him. My other problem is billel powell or chris johnson. Fuck chris johnson I'm thinking, but it is hard to sit a big name like that, all he needs is one big game to get going.
in our league if i dont beat you this week my shot of playoffs is over. this is a must win week for me, best of luck fro.
- Previous: at ELI (W 69.9-69.4)
fdgfdgfdgdfgd unlucky Christopherson
I got over 100 the other week and lost
doug martin done for the year, i might as well just give up.
good game boys
I'm coming for that number one spot!
I'm disappointed that I'm playing you on the week my 3 best players are on bye (Manning, Megatron, Vernon Davis). You have some bye players as well though so it should still be a good match.
I'm also down my starting QB (Stafford) and my WR1 (Thomas), so we're both suffering in that regard. Definitely should be a good one, and hopefully I'll be able to get revenge for my defeat a few weeks ago.
BEAT THE FUCK OUT OF DAVE. DAVE OUT.
4 IN A ROW
Put up the highest score anyone has put up all season. Can't even fit Eddie Lacy into my lineup without bye weeks.
Josh Gordon.
Sorry I can't hear you with that giant 50 point cushion between us
I'm going to use this opportunity to laugh at Christopherson.
Christopherson
my opponent put up the lowest score i have seen in 3 seasons of fantasy football
edit: if i win out right I might still make the playoffs, it is a long shot but i figure 8-5 will get me in the top 4.
Cewsh you were projected to beat me by like 20.
Your team is filthy on paper.
That's what makes this season so painful. I drafted well, and have had the most ridiculous run of bad luck ever since.
Christopherson !
Don't I've had as good a start as that from the early games... ever.
my boy T.Y. doin me good in the clutch tonight. props
He was ok.
Dave with a strong response to last week there absolutely molesting Fro.
Aaron Rodgers dying and Eddie Lacy's huge game (along with AP and Keenan Allen earlier OBV) helped me get to five wins on the bounce and the division lead yessssss.
Got all of my byes out of the way in one swoop
I really can't catch a break when it comes to running backs this year. Total disarray. Probably gonna start Shane Vereen and Donald Brown next week. Held onto Chris Ivory for about 6 weeks of 2 points a game, finally dropped him when Bilal Powell emerged as the Jets #1, then Ivory breaks out and now he's a stud, on someone else's team. Fuckkkkkk. If I had him I'd be unstoppable.
Having the best QB and WR, plus a top 3 TE and kicker, has carried me this far but I need at least one decent RB. Hopefully Vereen will kick it into high gear.
Another win should see me into the playoffs as the tiebreaker's points and the 6-and-5 teams would have to best me by 150 points in the next two weeks to clear me. It'll be close though - closer than it would be had I started CJ2K over Ellington this weekend
i have been playing playoff situations in my mind
dave. you just better hope you win this week bro.
or i will break your heart the next week
7 in a row
Josh Gordon.
I need 10 more points out of Vernon Davis + Anquan Boldin to get a win.
Aaaand I already got it. I'd like to thank whoever dropped Boldin.
So going into the last week it'll be:
Torn 9-3 (lock)
Fro 8-4
Dubya 7-5
Dave 7-5
Yankem 7-5
5 teams for 4 spots. Me and Dubya are playing each other, otherwise none of the contenders are going head to head. Torn has the #1 seed and $40 payout all but locked up.
Josh Gordon.
I am laying an egg but I think as long as Cewsh holds on against Yankem I'll get in as the 4 seed
Torn's got the #1 seed sewn up, but I wouldn't like to lay odds on any of the others. I'd back Dubya to get in and therefore be in the 2/3 playoff match, but whether it's against me, Fro or even Yankem I wouldn't like to say.
i am beating you dave
you are gonna get knocked out
Good work Matthew. Do you still have a chance of sneaking in?
im gonna beat you so hard now dude
Josh Gordon against Talib and the Pats who are just the kind of team to gameplan him out of the game worries me for next week
LUCKY THE PLAYOFFS ARE TWO WEEK MATCHUPS
Yeah I like the 2 week playoff matchups ESPN uses. I might be facing dubya for 3 straight weeks.
There's no one I'd rather spend 3 weeks playing.. well, except maybe Torn.. but no one else.
So barring some sort of miracle tonight, the playoffs will be
Torn
Dubya
Fro
Dave
MY RBs killed me in this league but couldn't trade Wilson after Ryan lost all his weapons.
Good luck to the playoff teams. It was fun.
I earned that spot. Started out 3-5 and then went on a epic comeback run. I'm like the Giants when they win Super Bowls.
Hmmm don't know whether to start Dwayne Bowe in my flex to rub it in Dub's face for dropping him, or Montee Ball. Why the hell did you drop him anyway? Surely he's more valuable than Rueben Randle, and he's got the home town thing going for you too. Was surprised at that.
I'll take that for the midway point, 19.5 points clear of Torn, somewhere I didn't really expect to be at this stage.
I'm fine with that considering I kept up with your points outburst after getting 3 points from my kicker and defense combined and AP's death.
I was happy to get to 105 after a slow start and -4 from the Pats defense. Dub still has his QB and both RBs going tonight so I'll be rooting for a low scoring game.
I see Forte and Demarco having huge games with those run defenses and the cold weather.
Well that, McCown, and Peyton yesterday happened. Fro looks done. Stick a fork in him.
Bronocs shitting the bed both helped and hindered me I guess. Atleast Keenan Allen's big day gives me a fighting chance and put me like 1 point ahead with 2 players less Hopefully Lacy can play, both him and Peterson being unavailable for this game would kill me even more than Peterson's injury already has. COME ON JOSH GORDON HEROICS.
Yeah, unless my team completely shits the bed.. I should take it comfortably. I have a 10-point lead with all 9 of my guys left to go against his 6..

Yeah I'm done. Well done Dub.
The other match is pretty good. Dave is looking like he'll win it on Monday night with Stafford.
How does the payout work in this league?
Check out The Real MMA Talk at Facebook.com/TheRealMMATalk1 or follow on Twitter @TheRealMMATalk
$120 to playoff champion
$40 to playoff runner up
$40 to regular season champion
Dave only needs 15 points from Stafford to beat Torn and advance to the final.
I've never done an online cash league, so how do you get your money?
Check out The Real MMA Talk at Facebook.com/TheRealMMATalk1 or follow on Twitter @TheRealMMATalk
so it's all done through the website you deposited the money into. your winnings will be put in your account at LeagueSafe and then there are a couple of options for you to withdraw it (paper check or e-check).

Stafford's only got 3.3 points with the first half just about over. This could come down to the wire.
Then again one big play to Megatron could bust it open.
Yeah, it's definitely looking a lot closer than I thought it would.
Cool stuff on the leagueSafe site. I checked it out. We should up the buy-in next year if everyone still wants to do it. I know I pay a lot more attention when there's $$ on the line.

Not looking good for Dave..
Too many drops, too many interceptions.
Christ, thought for sure I was done. Very pleased. Unlucky Dave, well played, that was one of my favourite fantasy football match ups I've ever had, close fought the entire way and pretty much every gain from your players made me squirm. The two week thing is excellent, although obviously I would say that given I'd have been bounced already if it were over one week..
My man Dub up next in the final then, this is huge. I would have lost handily to his surging team if I was in Fro's spot so hopefully they calm down a bit.
I'd say the same, had it been a different outome. Watching the Detroit match on condensed mode this morning was agony, especially seeing so many dropped passes, and the interceptions nearly made me weep. Not the greatest start to the day.
Absolutely loved doing this this year though, really rekindled my enjoyment of the NFL.
Victory! I didn't even score too well but poor Dub had some terrible luck with his team falling apart after a points explosion against Fro.
This was a really good league, nice one guys. Cheers to Fro for putting it together. We should definitely carry this on next season, with bigger stakes maybe?
So I guess I wait for Fro to assign the pot before I can get the money from leaguesafe?
Well done. I'm out of town tonight and tomorrow so will get that out on Wednesday
So what do I get then, $40?
Where do I go on the page to collect?

$120 to playoff champion - Torn
$40 to regular season champion - Torn
$40 to playoff runner up - Dubya
Winnings are now available for withdrawal from LeagueSafe.
Let me know when you guys have withdrawn your funds. I've never used this site before either.
Good season. I agree we should continue it next year with higher stakes. I'd personally like to double the buy in to $40.
Congrats to Torn who won both the regular season and playoffs for a $160 payout.
I've withdrawn mine. I did the e-check, so I'll let you know in a few days when I get it.
Doubling the buy-in to $40 sounds good to me.
