Congrats on leading the league in scoring this week and in starting 1-0.

Opps...that didn't happen? I'm sorry....

Would you like a Fresca?

(By the way, got killed by Deuce in another league myself.)

Signed,
Peaceful/Politically correct soccer viewer...on who by the way is 1-0.

Thanks for the love Gstar. The swing between Alexander and the Deuce was 55.8 points this week, and I lost by 38.95 (171.6-132.65), since we played head-to-head I can chalk this one up to that pick. However, if Alexander misses a few games this will easily continue to be the right decision.

I’m sure you’re with me on not counting out the Deuce just yet, although it was quite painful to get a combined 13 points from him and S. Davis. I projected my team at about 135 points on average per week for the season. I believe that will be enough to lead my league in points, because we all know Holmes, Q, Alexander, TO and Green can and will not continue to score three TD’s every week, nor will the Deuce and S. Davis average 6.5 each for the year.

Also for the record starting Vick over Favre netted me an extra 1.1 points so it was the right decision, although combined they did not have a “good” game. Bring on the Bears D for Favre!

I am sorry but I just have to laugh. Nnoy you have broken the mold. Most people usually project their teams out to a certain degree and are happy with them in the preseason.

These people then watch the first week of games and realize that everything they planned on is probably not going to happen. You are the one that is different here (or maybe just delusional). I really think you might need to adjust your thinking here.

Vick continued down the path he was on in the pre-season of just not being very consistent and not doing a whole lot. He is flashy but flashy gets you nothing in Fantasy unless he does it all the time and it leads to points. Favre is going to spend the year handing off to Green and the only thing he has going for them is that Green might take some of his screen passes to the house.

Stephen Davis will not be the starting RB in Carolina by the halfway point I think as the O-line there does not have the skill to open holes big enough for the slower Davis. They are going to need Foster to be quick and hit the small gaps to move the ball on the ground. I thought you would have noticed that with your buddy there at the draft who did all the O-line analysis for you.

As for your 135 Points a game argument you might want to revise that down a bit. And as for all your talking I think it just goes back to the idea that if you spout off about how good you are with every team you draft you are bound to get lucky one time.... just won't be this time so you might want to save your lungs.

Brad your statements are all well received however I saw little in week one to adjust any of my projections significantly downward. Favre will still throw 28-30 TD’s, Vick will dominate AZ and SD in the coming weeks (talk to me again after those games) and S. Davis will get his 1300+ again (just watch what he does against the KC D this week.)

Feel free to chime in again after you outscore me in a week.

I mentioned this on the league boards and I'll mention it here. It's easy to make 15 predictions like that every week because I am sure 2 or 3 of them might be correct.

Tell yourself whatever you need to so you can sleep at night but it will only hurt you in the end.

As for your Stephen Davis comment against the KC Defense, you do realize they are one of the worst rushing Defenses in the league I hope so using a strong performance against them as some sort of basis for a good year is probably not the best thing to do. If we were using that logic everyone would be proclaiming a 2000 yard season for Quentin Griffin already.

Lots of us have projections and high hopes for our teams (that is why we picked particular players). The difference is that you like to talk about yours publicly and in bulk (so that some of them actually come true) while the rest of us are a little more subtle, use some tact and prefer to sit back and see what happens.

I won't be chiming in a lot because that's not my style. I will make one prediction however... I am sure we will continue to get multiple predictions from you each week and won't hear about the ones that were wrong. If you really want to do a service to everyone how about you keep track of each prediction you made this year and give us a breakdown of how many come true. By my count right now I have you as 0-1 with your 30 point effort from Vick comment. Any others I missed so far?

I really think the dangerous teams are the ones that don't talk about their success. It's always the quiet ones that are trouble. That's why I don't think a lot of people are worried about you taking the pot.

Brad Brown...Thank you so much, sir.

You've analyzed Mr. a-NNOY-ing to a tee. I think that his "fantasy" bravado is a cover-up for shortcomings in another area. As I told HIM, with those two QB's, he's going to make the wrong decision on a starter more than half of the time. I know THAT much and I'm not even an avid fantasy player. My team looks mediocre at best, but I looove interacting with need-a-life, over-analytic, number-crunching fantasy geeks like NN :rolleyes: Y

And another thing, a-NNOY-ing...

The acronym for wide receiver is WR. Where in hell did you come up with RC???

Grid,

Your most recent post is hardly worthy of a response. You know it has been proven that it is almost impossible for people to communicate outside of a 30-point IQ range. Since I’m pretty sure you are not Mensa material I think it safe to assume that’s why you cannot comprehend any of my posts.

Start Vick at home, numb-nuts. Dollars to donuts he outscores Favre by at least 10 points. His "RC"s and "TG's" will get more passes than Brett's.
