We continue...
10 teams are at 4-1 or better, including 6 from our NFC. Unfortunately, only four teams from each division advance to the playoffs. Still plenty of time. Though Doug has the best record as mentioned in the last thread, StL Cards' 49ers (what a name) has taken over the overall PF lead that will be used in case of a tie. After two impressive weeks in a row, I looked up his game history from our G20/24 web site and notices that he's now been high points for the week 5 times (tied for 2nd) and hit 100 points 5 times in his career, just outside the top 5 by a single week. I will make the adjustments in our record book. |

FWIW - right before the trade was announced, I was trying to put together an offer that would have been, IMHO, a better deal for Ref, than rfs' was.

I appreciate the feedback from RFS. I was probably focusing more on the risk and less on the reward for the Steelers. I think Holmes career is over and in hindsight this deal will prove to be very lopsided. I admit that I am too conservative, though. With MBJ trying to get Holmes too, I am probably in the minority on my Holmes assessment. I hope Holmes is able to come back and play next year and prove me wrong.

I was called an idiot by a couple people after making this deal. I know StL Cards was pissed as he was willing to offer quite a bit more. He said it was unlike me panicking like I did. He is right. If Priest comes back next year, I definitely screwed up. If he came back this year, I screwed up big time. In the back of my mind, I was thinking that Priest has gotten hurt every single year and I'm sick of it. Of course, when he does play, he can be HUGE!!!

1) He is going to retire
2) If he doesn't, he won't ever be as effective because he will never see as many touches again (LJ will settle into that spot for good now).

I don't have much time, but anyone is welcome to e-mail to discuss the trade. Otherwie, i will accept whatever decison the commish/league decides.
I will say, I was 100% aware of the possibility of Priest retirement. I was/am prepared to take that risk.

Well my team has gone the way of the injury, so Im looking to sell a couple of players. If anyone has any interest in any of my players, note I don't want 3 for 1's, than feel free to inquire.
Also up for sale would be my #1 Waiver Wire priority for the next couple of weeks, of course it would depend on who is available, but if you feel lucky I would be up for "trading it" before too.

I've had some inquiries for Volek in the past. Not sure I want to trade him or not, but will consider all offers. Btw, better make it quick as I've got some things in the works, with and without Volek.

Porter is back to being a scrub with Moss' re-emergence. Lindell got me a big -2 and finneran only 50 yds. I really wish I wouldn't have made that trade. At least I have a little depth in case of an injury--but not too many points for depth at all. Oh well.

I didn't hear anything else about the Priest deal. I'm still not totally easy--- If Priest is considering retirement, doesn't it bode better for him to do the IR thing and wait so he keeps getting KC paychecks?
Odd that I played Ref this week. I certainly didn't help him (yet) as Porter and Lindel bombed. Unless D22 goes for 40.0 second half points.
What a bad game SF-CHI with Pickett V Orton combined for 1.20 fantasy points. I'm sure that's an (un)official record!

Well without Palmer and CJ my team can't do a thing. Zona moves into a tie for first place but his points are unreal. My SOS had been amazing until this week a light score still beat me...

Tell me about it StL - Assuming McNabb doesn't go backward tomorrow night, I'll have won 5 in a row and not gained a game on you! Looks like 7-3 and tied for 2nd. I almost feel I should apologize for a Gado-induced win this weekend...

I think I caught all the corrections and updated all the movement in the record book on our league rules. If I overlooked any, let me know. Thk's horrible week not only possibly cost him a playoff spot, but picking him, hurt me bad in pick'ems. Promize now has the top spot by himself, but six teams still all within 2 games. Despite Cards' concern, the playoffs possibilities are getting a lot clearer now. Still, one bad week can change some things.

But you were playing Twarpy who is basically going through the motions and if you'd have started the right guys you still could have won. I had to make my picks well in advance as I was out of town and thought you might try and make a trade, but there hasn't been much of that this year oddly enough.

Started the right guys?!?! Please tell me who you would have actually started over who I played before seeing how they scored?
Anybody picking my team without Palmer and CJ is taking a considerable risk without a doubt. I wasn't favored by the almightly preview by CBS and I was playing with an entire player who is a major force.
Point is...my team competing right now is just a plesant suprised. I am without my best player and my young stud aquistion doesn't have any help on the line or through the air and hasn't done anything. Personally I know Zona is a better team but my team continues to preform. I still have a legit shot at a WC slot and that's amazing to me.

I believe I now hold the (un)official record for the most QBs on a roster at any given point = 5! Additionally, I'll bet their combined scores this week will be less than 3.0 and had I gotten McMahon, I'd have 6!

Rams and 49er's have agreed to a trade. Rams get Mike McMahon and 49er's 5th round pick in 2006 and the 49er's get Stephen Alexander and the Rams 3rd pick in 2006.
Since Ref is gone until Sunday night I went ahead and approved the trade myself. I also inserted McMahon as the starter for the Rams.

I figured I'd figure out a way to lose this week as I've never beaten the Ravens franchise. I'm still ahead, but can very easily lose it tomorrow night as of now.

I've played the Ravens three times in three years and lost all of them, including the first one in '02 by .06 when Manning made a drive in garbage time hit Edge for a 20 yd pass play on the last play of the game on MNF to beat me. As good as my franchise has been, just cant seem to beat yours!!! I needed Gonzo's 10 pts, but you still have two starters going tonight and I'm up by like 16 now. I started the wrong K and I should have made that trade for that D I had an offer for last week. Oh well. I figured I had a playoff spot locked up so I didn't want to give up anything for next year. But I could easily be bounced in the first round. If Tiki is hurt, that's an almost certainty.

Yeah, very well done.
I lost the game for myself by just not starting the right guys. I knew Northcutt was being eased out of things in Cleveland, for instance.
But I never would have predicted 11 total yards from Curtis Martin, even against SD. And Aaron Brooks with 22 against NE??

Well, unless I get 70 points tonight from Driver and Williamson, my losing streak will reach 6 games. I'm not sure how a team that just missed the playoffs last year ended up with the 2nd toughest schedule, but I guess that's just the way things fall. Other than Fitzgerald, my team has been very inconsistent and even when I have a good week, I get beat by a team with an even better week. Guess, I can start looking to next year.
