No kidding!
I'm kicking myself over benching Peterson in favor of Ingram.

I am thinking about changing the points for defenses. I will try not to let this affect the outcomes of week 1. Here are the changes that I will apply after the last Monday night game.Interceptions - Change value form 2 to 1 Sack - Chang value from 2 to 1. Fumble Recovery - Change value from 2 to 1. 4th Down Stops - Change value from 1 to .25 Tackles for Loss - Change value from .5 to .2 3 & Outs Forced - Change value from .5 to .2
Hopefully this will help make so defenses don't put up massive points comparable to quarterbacks but still values good playing. |
That's not really fair. We drafted under the assumption of the previous values. It doesn't make any sense to change anything now.

Alright, if everyone feels the same way we can keep it how it is. This was the fist time I've played using those categories so for me it was a learning curve, but Im fine with rolling with what we've got.

I'm not too passionate either way about how the defensive scoring works as long as INTs, sacks and fumbles are at least a point each. But I do agree we shouldn't change the rules once the season starts.

Agreed, not a huge deal but can't change once the season starts.

Who would have thought starting Rodgers instead of RGIII would be a bad decision?
Horrible week 1 for me.Congrats MoM!

Throwing in the towel already? Darren Mcfaden needs only 10 pts for you to get the win, its still anyones game. Now as for me, I have a bit bigger of a gap. 22 points to get between Ray Rice and Torrey Smith, and hopefully Malcom Floyd has a lack luster week 1.

Yeah Jody you're going to win that game. I'm down by 8 now, but I still plan on winning.

Could have been a strong victory for me if I'd not benched Peterson or Garcon.
Probably watch Gordon Ramsay and then after that sit up watching the 10:15. Damn you people for this curse you have brought upon me.

Last year I learned that playing your optimal can be more satisfying than winning... sometimes. At least it takes the sting out of losing because you didn't play the right guys. It's like yeah I lost, but I did the best I could have.

Yeah, it's not like you trained the guys or anything. Unless you actually did.

T. Smith could put an end to my victory celebrations. 
Nice one Zach.

You still have McFadden. So, in both my leagues I need McFadden to get injured during tonight's pre-game warmups.

I am currently in love with the ravens defense. This has been a great fantasy outing so far.

Indeed. Cin is frustrating me on defense.

I was sweating bullets that all I had left was a D while Pat had AJ Green and Antonio Gates, 2 great players, but the Ravens D may have won me this match. Just hope Gates doesn't have a crazy game.

He dropped an easy TD already. And refs took TD away from Green. Not a great night for me so far.

Green scored a TD and it was overturned. That's taking a TD away. I'm not blaming them for anything. It's just what happened.
