Counting on Texans and Ravens...Seriously?

I can't believe that anyone who pays as much as we all do to compete in this elite league would bitch about the results of a hurricane that the entire world saw coming for 5 days. This league let's you keep 20 players on your roster - twice as much as you need! There is no excuse to be 'stuck'. After all, it wasn't Dallas, Denver, Philly, or San Diego that got canceled. It was Houston and Baltimore! Anyone with 20 players on their roster that can't replace a Texan or Raven doesn't deserve to be in the NFFC.

That's kind of harsh isn't it?

You should get your ranting facts straight. Your credibility just went out the window.

Not only is he wrong about the number of players on the roster/bench... but any fantasy player with skill is playing the first few weeks with ONE defense and ONE kicker. Keep in mind a team who got hurt with injuries in week 1 who also may have a WR suspended, may be playing with only four WR's in week two. If one of those WR's is suddenly not playing due to a game that gets cancelled after being rescheduled so it would not be cancelled, a rational reasonable person can understand how some teams got stuck.

Again, I said rational and reasonable...

I have McGahee ready to come back against a team that just gave up 3 tds to Willie Parker. Do I need to say more? One question to Team Miller, were you born stupid or did you evolve this way?

TAMU... I had McGahee (but no Rice) on one of my teams as well. I had him on the bench anyway due to his injury status and the prospect of him losing a lot of carries this week because of his knee. Maybe the one silver lining in this deal is that he has another week to heal and maybe he will get more carries this week against Cleveland. Just trying to make lemonade out of lemons. Good luck the rest of the way.

Wow, John Z, Go Gettas, Billy and Team Thompson -can you please get rid of your 2nd kicker and or defense or we're going to have to start calling you lucky.

Honestly, not much else on waiver wire last week, and I decided to play the matchup with Arizona's D and Miami. Was looking good until Miami scored the late TD. :(

NYG fell way to low and I skillfully prevented others from getting that value.

[/QUOTE]You know Billy, here's a part of the game NO ONE ever talks about on the MB.

Scratching and clawing every angle for every extra possible point. The top players in both sports do this religiously, week in, week out, while others bitch and complain about whatever bad luck hits there way.

Those extra points quite often are the difference in making the money and not.
