So if your in the league, please rememebr to head over there!
Thankyou.
-
3:00 minutes left untill draft time.
Im the only one in there i think.
-
crap I missed the draft, oh well...
Time to start trading :)
-
i need the link... please
-
Yeah, I had other things to do...like go to Freshman things at UNL.
Tony was at Hooters. Personally, I woulda made the same call.
Oh well. Have no clue who I got, have yet to check.
See Yuz.
-
just so you all know.
i was the only one at the draft.
:P
therefore my defense is crazy.
-
Anyone want to help me decide who i should have starting?
Choices:
QB: Leftwhich or Pennington
WR/HB: P. Warrick or I. Bruce
Now the hard choices:
DB\'s:
C. Baily
D. Abraham
M. Doss
M. Minter
E. Reed
Opinions?
-
Leftwich, for sure. Warrick for shizzle.
and... im lost on the backs.
-
i say pennington since hes been awesome so far. Leftwich will be good but i dont think you can beat penningtons accuracy. And i say bruce because warrick has other recievers around him that are better than him.
As for DB\'s, how many? in order, id do Ed Reed, Champ Bailey, donnie abraham. Reed over Bailey because people will throw away from bailey whereas Reed Will be hovering around instead of being assigned to a certain player (most of the time).
-
DB\'s? WTF - I thought it was just a team defense you picked - I guess I am too used to Sportsline.
I totally forgot about the draft - I guess my team is ok. BTW where did the other 5 people come from - I don\'t recognize any of them. Does somebody have more than one team in this league? ;)

If you want to start Leftwich, I will trade you for Pennington. I\'ll offer well too.
As I told you, Abraham is my boy. And Doss is even more my boy. I like you. Start them. And Baily.
As for Warrick or Bruce, they\'re about the same. There are questions with Palmer though, so I\'d start Bruce in week 1 and see how Palmer does.
-
And Giga, it usually is team defense, the settings were different in this league.
-
I wanted to try something different.
I felt team Def is over simplified, plus now, even if your offense is sucking, your defense can make up the difference. Not as many points for def but still respectable.
-
I\'m going to go with pennington, I just have a feeling hes gonna have a great year.
My starting defense is insane. :)
DB: Ed Reed
DB: C. Baily
DB: Donnie Abragam
D: Mike Doss
DL: Dwight Freeney
DL: Julius Peppers
DL: Richard Seymour
Damn thats good ;)
But heh, anyways....
If anybody wants to trade i\'ll probley be willing to trade:
Dominick Davis - RB
W. McGahee - RB
B. Leftwich - QB
Issac Bruce - WR
C. Griffin - DT
So if anybody wants any of these players, Im looking for a top-end WR or RB.
-
For those of you not at the draft you need to fix your defenses via add/drop players.
Because def players is a fairly new system, it somehow got f\'ed up in the rankings process. So you need to manually fix them.
Waivers will only be on for a few more days so if you want a respectable defense I suggest you act soon.
-
Yeah I noticed the rankings were screwed on the defensive end of things.
-
It\'s gonna lead to things being REALLY unbalanced on the defensive end between our teams. Couldn\'t you have just given points for more things on team defense if you wanted defense to be worth more?
-
i dont mind if we re-draft or anything, just let me know whats up.
-
not sure how that would really work. We can just go with it, it\'s just kinda hard to put waiver claims and have them work like a draft for a bunch of reasons. Hopefully it works out somehow.
-
man, if I had known the rankings would be F\'ed up I would have fixed it.
The only other option is that we dump the league, and redraft completely with team defenses. That way people who can\'t make the draft don\'t get screwed.
Or we can suck it up and deal with what we got. Either way, it works for me.
-
Well, we can\'t dump the league after the draft. I say we just deal with it. We got lucky that most people were in the same boat, seeing as how only Deadly Hampster was in the draft room, and he didn\'t draft most of the best defensive players. The ones who were inactive to the point of not checking the league between draft time and when the waivers went through bit themselves in the ass I guess.
-
Meh, who got better D then me?
I tried my best :(
-
And the Pending Trade - totally onesided, and I think should be vetoed. Not sure if anybody else agrees with me, but I personally think that Stephen Davis and Aaron Brooks for Matt Hasselbeck and Shaun Alexander is totally one-sided.
See Yuz.
-
The trade went through!?!?! It was only up for like a day! WTF. I think it should be vetoed as well.
-
Yeah, if you have commish review, you have to have the commish present to listen to protests and have a longer period for them to be pending. The three of us who disagreed would have been enough if it were automatic. *sigh*
And Deadly Hampster...well, how did you not draft Ray Lewis? :p
-
Well, since Hurricane was the guy getting Hasselbeck and Alexander, and he\'s also the commish, I can see why it didn\'t get vetoed.
Never been in a Facist Fantasy Football league before. This is new.
See Yuz.
-
On my defense, the guy offered the trade to me, I didn\'t initiate it. I know for a fact that Alexander is better than Davis, but Brooks and Hasselbeck are on par, Brooks is better scrambler, Hasselbeck is a better passer.
In any case, I did my best with setting up the league. I basically set it up the same way another league I\'m in is set up. In the other league, the defenders had proper rankings and did not get f\'ed up in the draft.
However, this was not all bad. People who actually did check their teams were able to use waivers before they all became free agents. So people who neglected their teams, which there are a few have shoddy defenses. Nothing I can do, I\'m sorry. Next year we\'ll go back to team defense, however unfair it may be, it\'s still better than what happened here.
In any case, if anyone has any suggestions on what to do now, I\'m all ears.
-
just so were all aware, I\'m 100% willing to undo the trade. I\'d rather have everyone happy than have a super-stacked team.
It\'s the other guy that\'s the holdup.
-
Somebody trade with me.
Has: Issac Bruce, P. Warrick, Byron Leftwhich, Dominick Davis, Marvin Harrison, Donnie Abrham, Champ Bailey, Cornelius Griffen.
Wants: Top end DL/HB/or WR.

-
I\'ll take a look at your team, which team are you??
-
Probably the one that has to do with the Nebraska Cornhuskers in some way. Completley forgot.
Edit: The 2004 Blackshirts.
See Yuz.
-
I would like to trade to upgrade Jeff Garcia or upgrade Javon Walker. If anyone is interested, let me know.
-
Now that I\'m giving back Hasselbeck, anyone got a good QB their willing to trade?
-
I\'ll trade for Brooks if you don\'t want him.
