What do you think is worse?
What do you think is worse?
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.

Re: What do you think is worse?
Got to be B .Maybe because we all do that a lot .
Re: What do you think is worse?
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.
Re: What do you think is worse?
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

Re: What do you think is worse?
Losing with the second highest score is worse. That usually means you made all the right lineup decisions and still lost.

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.

Re: What do you think is worse?
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.
