What do you think is worse?

Post by BillyWaz » Mon Sep 23, 2013 7:22 am

A) Losing a game where you are the 2nd highest scoring team that week

OR

B) Leaving 20-30 points on the bench because you made the wrong lineup decision?

A because you're always going to lose.

At least with B there's a chance you can still win that week.

I don't know what's worse but B is far more painful. I don't mind as much when it's out of my control... but if I had the power to change something then I'm filled with regret. After hearing richardson might be limited i moved him to my bench in a lot of leagues and moved Bilal Powell to "RB". I just didn't have the guts to submit... when I was rewarded with a zero that felt way worse than any other scenario I've experienced.

Starting to learn the pain of these cutlines...

Had a top 20 cutline team coming into this week and did the following:

-Started Eli Manning over Vick (lost 15 points)
-Started Hakeem Nicks over Antonio Brown (lost 40 points)
-Left Jordan Cameron on my bench and started Orange Julius at TE and DeAngelo Williams at flex (lost 18 points)
-Started Alex Henery and left Succop on the bench (lost 11 points)

My team is loaded with talent and every week I have to make lineup decisions I'd rather not make. These 10 team leagues are painful. That said I still won that league this week with 100 points :lol:

Losing with the second highest score is worse. That usually means you made all the right lineup decisions and still lost.

Ouch! :cry:

The silver lining for me (and probably you too JP) is this scenario is going to help me get through any other mistakes I make throughout the year. I can't see you missing like this anymore, and the depth is gonna come in handy come all those pesky bye weeks. ;)

Hang in there. :D

Maybe I misunderstood the question - are we assuming that with B you definitely lost? If so, then yeah B. I still think B is easier to take because you can leave a lot of points on the bench and still win that week.
