The Official "Complain about being beat by Seattle Defense" Thread

who the fuck is brandon gibson

Rams #2 WR. The only reason I have any reservations on him is because he's not really much better than their other receivers (the other Steve Smith + more people nobody has heard of). The Pats' secondary is awful, but it won't help Gibson much if the Rams spread the ball around a lot.


Bowe is a freak of an athlete, though, even with Quinn throwing him the ball. He still had 9 targets last time they played, and towards the end of the Ravens game Bowe had 2 targets and 2 catches in 4 of Quinn's passes, though one was called back due to penalty.


I'm too conflicted to make a decision now, but at least I have a couple days to mull it over.
 
Let's post this in the correct thread this time: Doug Martin is a fucking shit cunt.

Doug Martin too strongth. Glad I'm not playing him this week. Also, Amendola is gonna come back in Week 10 (next week is Rams bye week), so ya, let's go! There's also a chance he might play this week, but it prob won't happen.

That would be me...
 
Well on my way to double dunking on aldaron this week, as his sad ol' Vincent Jackson underperforms against me in both leagues.

wtf vikings defense you betrayed me worse than Ponder betrayed me last week as a bye week replacement >:(
 
Cases like Doug Martin are the reason my record sucks in almost every league this year, hahaha.

Oh well, I suppose it could be worse. At least I didn't play against Doug Martin in the same league where I have Vincent Jackson :x
 
I used to wonder why there were never any trades in my money league.

Ever since I put Sproles and Bowe on the trading block, I've had two offers. One was Sproles for Stevie Johnson straight up. The other was both Sproles and Bowe for Steve Smith, Andre Roberts, and Vick Ballard (note that I'd have to drop another player even to make this trade).


I'm not being overly protective of my players by assigning them higher values than they're actually worth, right? A part of me is worried that I'm being a bit possessive and striking down legitimate trade offers. Both of these seem pretty terrible though...

My personal preference is to always play the better player/higher draft pick so I would go with Bowe.

The matchup is pretty good. Chiefs are coming off a bye vs a mediocre at best defense who only have 7 sacks on the season.
 
And who said I don't have a top 60 RB? Doug Martin what a champ.

The Bullets are very angry they lost for a second time. It won't happen again.

I still have been in first place in every week this season, and I have the most points against. How does that happen?
 
Every year, a fantasy owner makes a mistake he or she will regret for the rest of the season. Halfway through this season, I know what mine has been. This is the Randall Cobb diaries.


What happened with Cobb? said:
Smogon League C: Drafted. Dropped before week 1 amidst Marshawn Lynch injury concerns.

NarFFL: Drafted. Dropped after 2 target game against Chicago.

Money league: Picked up on WW after week 1. Dropped after a combined 4 targets and 6 points weeks 2-3, with news pointing to Greg Jennings' return.

Regret level: Maximum.
 
Only move I particularly regret is dropping Kerley early in League A, and even then more because then I'd have owned him in all three Yahoo leagues than because I particularly need him. :P Not that owning a viable starter is ever a bad thing, mind you.

Trades so rarely happen because most people won't pull the trigger unless they're completely fleecing you. See: Me trying to trade tad Roddy White + Vincent Jackson for his Ray Rice in the Nugget Bridge league two weeks ago.

I'm overloaded on good WRs; VJax was my #4, so with 2wr/1flex he wasn't even starting for me. I wanted an upgrade on RB2 since Benson just went on IR and Shonne Greene sucks. Tad's #1 WR is Titus Young because he missed the auction and the bot blew a combined $187/200 buying all three top RBs plus Cam Newton. Great trade for us both, so I thought. I boost my starting lineup for bench depth, he gets two starting-caliber players worth way more total points than his one.

Nope. He wanted Harvin instead of White. With return yardage points in the mix, Harvin is basically worth Rice on his own but of course he still wanted VJax packaged with him. Hell no. I tried reasoning with him, I offered him alternatives (Nelson instead of VJax, McCoy instead of Rice). Nope. Completely throws out my offers at this point and makes it abundantly clear that he won't deal unless I'm giving him Harvin + more.

I had to settle for overpaying for DMac from somebody else instead. I'm worried about his injury history, of course, but the potential for eliteness is still there and he has the easiest fantasy schedule moving forward too, so I figured I'd take the chance. I also have his capable handcuff.
 
A basic rule of economics is that people gain when they trade voluntarily. The sad thing is sometimes people would rather fuck themselves and the other person over than take a deal that will help them, say, +10 and the other person +13. They get into the mindset that trading isn't worth it if they aren't getting the most of the benefit.

In my 8-teamer, I am now trying to package Brady/CJ1k (or Mathews)/Julio for an RB1 and WR1. I think this sounds reasonable because this is a 2QB league and there are people starting QBs like Flacco and Cutler... really I'm trying to get an equivalent WR for Julio, and give someone a QB1 and RB2 for an RB1. This doesn't sound like it's in my favor but I also have Ryan/Brees so I'm more than happy to get rid of one QB in exchange for upgrading RB by a bit. Someone else should be more than happy to downgrade a bit at RB in order to improve MASSIVELY at QB, right?

Anyway, I need some advice. Alex Green or Rashad Jennings? Can't decide between the two in one league... Jags are allowing 3rd most fantasy points to RBs, Jennings is more likely to get a huge workload, both guys are pretty mediocre skill-wise...
 
Tell me about it... I'm trying to ship one of my WRs in my NarFFL league, and no one is biting because I'm the #1 team in the league so far even with massive holes at RB/TE.

I have Percy Harvin, Brandon Marshall, Reggie Wayne, and Vincent Jackson so far. Was shopping V-Jax after his huge game week 7 and didn't get a single offer :(


These three (+1) guys have been literally carrying my team. I've been starting Fred Jackson and Reggie Bush at RB, and when they've been injured it's been a tossup between Jaquizz Rodgers and DeAngelo Williams. It's 1 PPR, though, so Harvin/Marshall/Wayne have been getting like 70 points a week, and with Tom Brady I've been scoring enough points to win I guess.


I'm playing against him this week, but I still like Alex Green. Logic says that he is awful, though, averaging something like 2 ypc over the past couple games. Starting Green risks the Packers benching him for Starks if he continues to be terrible. With the Jags' complete offensive ineptitude, I wouldn't take the risk with Jennings at all. Remember how the Packers completely shut down Arian Foster (except on the goal line)? I'd expect more of the same this week for him.
 
Definitely Rashad Jennings. Reason being the Packers have a top-notch passing game while the Jags... don't. Jennings will get a lot more opportunites to make a play especially with Gabbert still partially injured. He may not having MJD's skill, but he'll be getting that kind of attention on the offense.
 
you know, I might have a chance in League C if Tony Romo wasn't single-handedly giving the Giants Defense tons of points...
 
Well, I'm about to drop to 3-5 in League C, unless the committee of San Fran's defense, Eric Decker, and some guy on the Cardinals doesn't pull my opponent seven points. It's a shame when your top two running backs are out on the same weak, because of a bye and an injury. Good thing Donald Brown was back this week or else I would have been really screwed. My other running back was a choice between Peyton Hillis and and Shaun Draughn, who have a combined 0.5 points after the first half of their game.

Looks like I have a pretty good shot in my other two leagues, though.
 
Witten finally has a good game when I start him. My opponent's entire team has fewer points than Witten. FML I guess?

The commissioner in my money league has had some really shitty luck this year.

Weeks 1&2, he played the highest scoring team of the week (by a pretty significant margin). Week 3 he lost a pretty close match (>10 points). Week 5, he lost a tied game to bench points. Week 6, when I played him, I scored only 61 points... and won because he only put up 47. He's lost Garcon and Nicks to injury, and Steven Jackson has been banged up for a few weeks.

The real kicker: His kicker this week was Jason Hanson. He was down by 2 points coming into Monday night, and the Lions are 4 minutes from being shut out.

The latest chapter: He was tied against his opponent towards the end of the third quarter in the late games. He was going against Tony Romo and still had Hakeem Nicks, Miles Austin, Denarius Moore, AND the Cowboys defense going. He still found a way to lose. Incredible.
