I needed Beanie Wells to outscore Fitzgerald by at least 9 points in order to make the playoffs, so I consider that awesome.
Can't complain about Boldin there when Driver also performed so poorly. He picked up Ganther and had the foresight to roll with Tennessee, thats 2 pickups & insertions -- out-gamed you fair and square.
and he also got f'ed by #1 QB before this week, Aaron Rodgers. You didn't get f'ed by anyone until Boldin--which is a fantasy rarity in any given week
If Tennessee was available in ANY league and you didn't pick them up tho play the Rams, too bad. I picked them up in all leagues and they scored more points than all players except Rice and the two Johnsons. I've advanced to the semi finals now in the 4 leagues I drafted in. Not one did I keep the same D week in and week out.
I'm not talking about the Titans D, or Quinton Ganther or anybody else who played! The ONLY player left was Boldin on MNF. I was down by 2.1 points, and Boldin was able to pick up 27 yards throughout the game. Then, with 2 minutes left, he lost a fumble which caused me to lose by 0.1 points! You'll can talk all you want about how he "out-gamed" me, but losing by 0.1 points is still heartbreaking.
LOL. So what's he supposed to do about it? Not like he could've prevented it. All of the guys he started were legit and justified. It's not like he should've picked up Tennessee and started them over Baltimore (vs Det). It was purely luck, which a big part of fantasy football.
Nothing sucks worse than losing a playoff matchup because the guys who got you there combined for 10 stinking points.
Trust me, been there, done that. I'm a fantasy vet of over 10 years. This last week in the Smeg league I was up by something like 60 points with my opponent only having McNabb and DeSean Jackson left. It's not your typical league, no D, just defensive players and different positions/stats than a Yahoo league. I was up 156 to 98.5 heading in to Sunday night. I won 156 to 154.5. I thought I had it wrapped up but DeSean went off! This is what happens in the playoffs. It's why Fantasy Football can be one of the most enjoyable yet most frustrating hobbies to be a part of. If I were him I would have been upset seeing Vick take Donovan's spot at the goal line and watching that one lonely interception that might have cost him the game.
Bironas and the Titans D combined to get me 40 points. :grin: Warner and Moss combined for 0 pts, and I still led my league in scoring for the week. And I had Gore on the bench for and Moreno, and had also benched Mason for Holmes. McCoy is the only person on my bench that didn't perform better then the starter.
I benched Miles Austin on Thanksgiving day and he got like 30-something points. I lost that game by 4 points and it ultimately cost me a 1st round bye. So I lose this week in the playoff game (that I shouldn't have even been playing in the first place) because my opponent had Matt Schaub AND Andre Johnson..... I started the season at 9-1 and then lost 3 in a row and got eliminated in the 1st round.
