Who to play: ? 50 yards=1 point, TD=6 points, INT=-2 (so very TD oriented)

T.Green vs Indy
Favre @ Was
Carr vs Jac

edit: oops, fixed TD points to 6

New Question:

Will I lose again this week because I have the better team but the team I'm playing has some bum have a fluke big performance? Or will I lose by 5 points because Trent Green can't throw a single touchdown pass in their 56 point drubbing of an opponent?

question 2: (different league same scoring system....worse choices):

1. McNair vs Cin (injured)
2. Pennington vs Mia
3. Roethlisberger vs NE

all bad choices I know, but it's what I have to work with in a 12 team league

The Kansas City offense is AWESOME DUDE!!!

p.s. KC scored 8 TD's last week and Trent green did nothing more than put his hand on a big mans ass and pass the ball to the running back...

Washington has allowed fewer points this year than almost anyone...

Jacksonville has a SOLID defense and D.Davis is healthy and running with the ball.



You're screwed...

When your team is blowing out the other team, you run the ball EVERYWHERE (including the end zone) so as to not turn the ball over and give the other team a chance to get back in it. However, when you're playing Indy and they're scoring all over you and you have to score quickly to keep up, THEN you pass the ball more.

Green should do fine.

Next question:

Ahman Green
Mewelde Moore
Reuben Droughns
Rudi Johnson

Pick 3 to start. I know this doesn't sound like much of a predicament to some, but Green is facing a Washington defense that's doing EXTREMELY well against the run this year, and Johnson is facing Tennessee, which should be a low-scoring game (with McNair out). Thoughts? Ideas?

starting peyton is never a bad choice :p
WTF? You might want to read that again.

Start Roethlisberger. McNair isn't going to play (they'll rest him this weekend and then again over the bye), Pennington has been mediocre this year - at best - and they figure to run a lot in that game. Roethlisberger... I guess he's the lesser of three evils. Can't you pick up Volek?

Hmm ... really tough one. You never know about McNair playing, although he does sound a bit less optimistic than usual this time. If he's a no go, then...
I can see Roethlisberger's start against NE being a disaster for him (as in the multiple INT, 140 yds, 0 TD kind of disaster) as NE can do that to you, esp. to a rookie. Pennington, while not a good choice against Miami, usually doesn't do anything to really lose a game either. He'll probably get you a few points, although a TD against the Miami secondary doesn't look good. You never know though as he utilizes his RBs and TEs quite a bit for screens and short dumpoffs. He might get a TD that way and not complete a pass to a wideout all afternoon. :) I'd go with Chad.

Favre.

KC always runs in red zone so Green won't get a lot of TDs, if any. Also, Indy plays opportunistic defense and they might pick him off a couple of times.

I'd probably go with Green, Moore, and Droughns. I can't trust anything that cincy has put on the field so far this year.

Need 1 QB, 3 WR, 2 RB, 1 TE, 1 Def.
Who should start?
The hardest part is the WR. Need to choose 2 out of H Ward, B Stockley and D Patten.
Thank you.

I'm starting Roethlisberger over Pennington... Pennington is gonna get rocked by Miami...
Big Ben might just maybe pull off a big day...

Other than that Chris Brown better quit whining about his fvcking toe and play some ball... or I'm in a world of hurt.

Oh and Sean Taylor out is good news for Javon Walker and Brett Favre...

I would start Favre... if I were in your shoes.
