Voltaire 4,918 Posted October 13, 2014 So I went and picked up the Jax backfield. I figure maybe Gerhart playing hurt is what made him suck, not the crappy O-line. Give him rest, see what happens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Voltaire 4,918 Posted October 16, 2014 So I went and picked up the Jax backfield. I figure maybe Gerhart playing hurt is what made him suck, not the crappy O-line. Give him rest, see what happens.And then dumped the Jax backfield. I needed the two spots to handcuff Lynch when Christine got freed up by the previous owner as well as Miller's backup with the Knowshawn-disinfected Dolphins, a couple of nice pieces to firm up the team. I'd never start Gerhart unless Lynch, Miller , and Bush gut hurt and -if that were to happen- I'd rather have their backups than him anyways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

southcarolina 166 Posted October 16, 2014 Dude, you have the most waiver wire moves in the league. Ive churned the bottom of my roster a bit , but half my moves have involved kickers and defenses, which hardly count. I admit the kicker and defense i drafted (Nate Freese and The Bungles ) have both shat the bed. Other than those, i dont think ive started a player i didnt draft all season. Andre Holmes will be my first this week i think. And if i hadnt gotten focked by Cam Newton week one i'd be near 100 points scored better than the second best team.

Voltaire 4,918 Posted October 17, 2014 You could have just went with "I dropped Gerhart, because as it turns out he stinks". I almost drafted him rather than Bush. Scary close. Still, I'd like to have him, starting RBs are hard to find on the waiver wire. Anyways, since the Seahawks and Dolphins have their byes behind them and I've got both those backfields locked up now as well as Bush. No need for Jax RBs. Maybe I can move Bush for a WR now.

WhiteWonder 2,476 Posted October 28, 2014 I think you turned off your brain. You just started SD D against the Broncos and scored -4 points for your efforts. You know better than that. That was a product of too many leagues and thus one being last on the totem pole in terms of free redraft. I'm obviously trying but just forgot to grab another defense. Didnt matter tho.

Voltaire 4,918 Posted November 6, 2014 I picked up Ray Rice because I don't know how he loses this appeal. It certainly looks like double jeopardy to me. That said, the atmosphere around the NFL regarding domestic abuse is toxic and I don't know if there are teams out there that want to take on his baggage. But if there are... well, you know...

OldMaid 2,108 Posted November 9, 2014 Looks like it's Volty's turn to beat me this week. Although, I'm holding on to a slim chance that Mega being back, and Ben playing the Jets, might bring me a good game. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But if there are... well, you know... aint no one picking up and playing ray rice. i believe his career is over. he was losing a step last year as it was. also, just to show how this league ranks last on the totem pole for me (but ofcourse am still trying) , I added caleb sturgis and noticed i forgot to put him in past the 1 pm games. scored like 12 points. had to scramble and pick up gould and he has a nice 0.

WhiteWonder 2,476 Posted November 11, 2014 more fun facts. I have the 3rd most points scored in the league and if you sort by yahoos "power rank" I am #1. i rank just 8th in points against so I can't use the old "everyone has their best day against me" excuse. looks like its just been poor luck in close games? and i suppose injury issues (lacy early on, marshall, PT) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OldMaid 2,108 Posted November 11, 2014 Yeah... my team isn't as sh!tty as my 3-7 record reflects, either. I think I have one of the harder schedules... Every week when I read the recap, I get a out of how bad everyone else's record would be if they played my schedule, or how much better mine would have been if I played theirs.
