Frustrating Fantasy Football

[silverpig]

*grumble grumble*

First, yahoo told me to pick Shonn Greene with my first round pick, so I did. Bust. Yeah yeah, my fault for not knowing more, but whatever.

Second, I'm 0-8 now largely because I have the most points scored against me in my league by far. Oh, and I definitely don't have the worst points generated either.

Third. I lost last week despite having scored the second most points that week.

Fourth. I went into tonight's game needing the Houston TE Owen Daniels to get me 2.8 fantasy points. He got 1.3 of them with 2 minutes left, then dropped a ball just after that that might have put me over the top. The next play Schaub fumbles and the game is over.

It seems like I always play the guy who has a hot team. 155 points when they play me, 75 points the next week.

Most frustrating fantasy football stories? Can you beat my 0-8 drubbing this year?

There is an official FF thread here. Please use it.

i have moss and dallas clark. i traded mcfadden for clark the week he got hurt because jermichael finely was out for the season. granted, i was stacked at RB but i still feel stupid. oh, and fuck randy moss.

 

[Arik5405]

I am sitting in 1st at 6-2 but my two losses were by 3pts and 4pts. So close to perfection, but yet so far away!

 

[ra1nman]

Won tonight on Schuab's last second fumble....i'm still 10'th though

 

[weirdichi]

I dropped Kenny Britt last week. *cries*
People played Kenny Britt this week. *laugh*

I can beat you. Have the most points scored in the league, leading by 78 points (score range 649-955), I have the most difficult schedule (every team has a hot week against me), and I have the best breakdown, yet I am in fourth place in a 12 team league.

Oh and I have Marion Barber (my 6th pick).

You're 4th out of 12. I'm 12th out of 12.

My team isn't good enough to warrant 1st or anything, but middle of the pack for sure.

 

[silverpig]

Oh, also, my kicker this week was Olindo Mare. The guy who missed two field goals, including one from 29 yards out. That would have won me the game too.

 

[JS80]

Dude, I have a tie. I actually have a tie in FF. Scored 116 against a mediocre team the first week, only to tie.

Week 3 scored 122 pts and lost to the worst team.

Week 4 lost by 1 FG to a missed FG.

lol, all but 1 team has scored 100 pts or more against me.

 

[AgentUnknown]

I am 0-8 in one of my leagues. I drafted Greene too. But I have MJD 1st pick and he sucks this year. My great pickups have been B Lloyd and Mercedes Lewis and Kyle Orton.

 

[MikeMike]

I am 4-3, not counting this week, and 5-3 now... As of last week i had...
645 PF
602 PA

PF puts me at 5th place of an 8 player league (aka 5 ppl have scored more)
PA puts me in dead last... No one has had less points scored against...

I'm hoping I don't regret trading Lloyd too much for Matt Forte 2 weeks back. I only had Chris Johnson and Cedric Benson so I needed another RB and was pretty solid at WR but now Britt is out and I'm getting worried.

 

[Slew Foot]

Im in a 5 way tie for first in my league. I almost choked this week, I needed about 20 points from Vernon Davis, Nick Folk, Wes Welker, Hines Ward, and Mike Hart. A No brainer I thought.

Vernon Davis sprains his ankle after catching 1 ball, Nick Folk gets shut out, Hines Ward and Wes Welker combine for about 30 yards of offense. Thankfully Wayne and Hart came through.

 

[goog40]

I scored 132.5 the first week and lost by 1.5 pts. Scored 115 in week 4 and had a 7 point lead going into the Monday night game versus Davone Bess and he puts up 15. Despite drafting Steve Smith and Brett Favre, I'm in first after this week but in trouble with Gore, Lloyd, Vernon Davis on byes and tough matchups for Peyton and Fitzpatrick.

 

[Malak]

I am 4-3, not counting this week, and 5-3 now... As of last week i had...
645 PF
602 PA

PA puts me in dead last... No one has had less points scored against...

I have most points for in my league, but first place has least points against, more than 100 points less than me. He is undefeated. Going to be hard to catch up when I'm at 5-3, but this last week was my biggest bye week so I think I can win from now on.

 

[edro]

I have PManning, CJ, MJD and am 7-1.
Shonn Greene was a bad pick!

 

[erikistired]

i'm 7-1 because someone got on a lousy hot streak and beat me by 2 points one week. i could have had a perfect season! so close. oh well, i'm on track to win out the rest of the season because my team is that elite.

 

[JulesMaximus]

This is why I don't play Fantasy Football anymore. It just brings a whole new level of frustration to a sport I already get frustrated with (primarily because my teams aren't doing well this year...or any year for that matter).

 

[SpunkyJones]

Randy Moss. Nuff said.

 

[spacejamz]

i coulda sworn there was an official fantasy football thread here....

 

[lupi]

I'm 7-1, 5-3, 6-2, and 5-3.

One of the 5-3s should be 8-0, I'm highest scoring in that league by almost 300 points, but I'm also the highest scored against by about 450.

After a 3 week skid, was good though winning again last week to break the streak by tipping 200 points.

Due to uncertain draft/byes and such, didn't have a lot of faith in my other 5-3 league or the 6-2 one, but my 6-2 guy is in second and if I had at least one moreplayer bust out I could have toppled the league leader.

Who cares. Fuck off.

We care. Clean it up, please.

I have missed the playoffs with the highest point total in the league a total of 4 times, going on 5.

Randy Moss. Nuff said.

The league I am 7-1 in I drafted Moss in the 3rd round, he's been benched for awhile though because I rule.

 

[SunnyD]

2-6 in the league everybody said I was "stacked" after the draft.

6-2, tied for 1st by record, 1st by points in the league I drafted half my roster as rookies.
