God, back in.

Had the worst run of quarterbacks possible last year. Went through about 7 quarterbacks last year because of injury.

Yeah no kidding, you were like a plague, do me a favor and DONT draft Vick, he is already pretty good at getting himself injured



Update: Is everyone fine with the current draft date and time of August 19th 4:00pm EDT ?

[Burning_Wulf]

Works for me, just gotta re-route my sleep schedule a bit.

[Jwolf0]

I'll have more family in town that weekend but I think it should be okay for me.

How many players this year? I saw 10 so far, but did not see a team for Insurrection. Is he still playing and is Rick going to play again?

19th is fine for me.

[Nick Soapdish]

The 19th is fine for me as well.

[Insurrection]

Last day before the semester starts, I'm good for that.

[Jwolf0]

Any chance of pushing this back an hour or two to 5 or 6PM EST? Family is planning a day thing into DC tomorrow.

[Nee-sama]

I second the motion ^^
Even if it was just 30 minutes later it would work out better for me. I get off work a half an hour after the current scheduled time and have a 20 minute drive home. . .

[Nate River]

Fine with me.

[Nick Soapdish]

Ok by me as well, but 5 would be better than 6. I need to be done by 7ish. The draft goes pretty quick but that might be pushing it.

[roninmedia]

Change is fine with me.

[Nick Soapdish]

No draft review?

Sure, it's a bit late now since the first game has been played, but I'm sure that allowances can be made.


Personally, I wasn't too impressed with my draft. I seemed to be pretty good at waiting about a round too late for players and then reaching elsewhere so I'm a bit concerned about my team, especially the depth. But it seems to have turned out ok so far.

[Jwolf0]

Yeah, sorry about that. I've been busy with a lot of different things lately (may or may not include copious amounts of Persona 4 Arena [yay!] and/or M:tG card sorting [boo!]). I'll try to get back up to speed on all the usual FF content, although all the Thursday games are gonna kill me. Ugh.

Off the cuff Nick, I'd say you did end up reaching with quite a few picks but your team looks MUCH better after how Week 1 went.

[Nate River]

I might still win despite my entire RB corp and Welker laying an egg on me. I like having Drew Brees on my team. I'm glad for Ridley with Jackson getting injured and I stole Alfred Morris.

Better to be lucky than good, eh?

Yeah, I saw Morris doing well, but I was way too late on that. And I just can't figure out what Shanahan is doing with running backs anyway. I'm more disappointed on being late on Hill.

I think Hill might be more of a flash in the pan because Mark Sanchez is still Mark Sanchez. And he still plays for the Jets.

[Jwolf0]

And I have the Buffalo D. In several leagues.

NO, I'M NOT BITTER JUST BECAUSE THE JETS DECIDED TO BANK ALL THEIR PRESEASON TDS FOR THAT GAME AND LIKE I NEEDED ANOTHER REASON TO HATE THE JETS ESPECIALLY AFTER THAT BS TESTAVERDE QB SNEAK THAT WAS CLEARLY SHORT BY A YARD THAT I'M STILL NOT OVER AAAAAAAAAAAAAGHASDFGJKARUGHSJBV-

Okay. A little bitter.

[Nick Soapdish]

He might be, but he was actually on my radar and I was close to being able to pick him up. As opposed to Morris whom I was completely oblivious about until seeing that you'd gotten him and then wandering around the stats for the different games and saying "oh, that's why he got picked up".

I was watching the Redskins on TV and when I saw the two TD's I went for it.

[Jwolf0]

So I heard there was a game on Monday or something? I dunno, no one wants to talk much about it.

In any case, I tried working a draft recap but it's kind of hard to look at it and not bias it with what we've seen through Week 3. I do know that missing the first four rounds of the draft killed me. I probably would have gone Calvin Johnson/Jamaal Charles with my first two picks and been better off overall.

Thursday games every week make me a sad panda. I only get two days to throw darts make reasoned matchup analysis?

EDUT:

Wildly Inaccurate Guesses, Week 14!

Car Batteries @ Santa (Mik3) vs. Gama Warriors (Nee-sama)

Gama Warriors favored by ~10.

Out of the five starting RBs in this matchup, three aren't even guaranteed to start or see significant playing time this week. So we'll go with the definite in Arian Foster.

Pick: Gama Warriors

Tokyo Raiders (roninmedia) vs. The Golden Thumbs (Rick)

Tokyo Raiders favored by ~36.

I think we have a CPU sighting! And considering that both Rick's QB and DEF is on bye, no chance of a LOLwin this week.

Pick: Tokyo Raiders

Leatherbacks (Nick Soapdish) vs. Derp Chargers (Insurrection)

Leatherbacks favored by ~9.

Insurrection is riding the Bengals train hard, starting Andy Dalton in place of Cam Newton. But when A.J. Green is that ridiculous I can't blame him. CIN/JAC may be a shootout. If MJD runs all over the place is it still a shootout? We'll just go with high-scoring. You know what else may be a high-scoring game? TB/WAS. Don't like the Tampa D this week, and I think Demaryius Thomas is underprojected.

Pick: Leatherbacks

Team Not Seven (Nate River) vs. ZETF Zombie Hunters (Burning_wulf)

Team Not Seven favored by ~19.

Drew Brees may have to throw for 500 yards in this one to keep N'Awlins close. The Pack may be playing with a chip on their shoulder for some odd reason....

Pick: Team Not Seven

Rigbone (Illmatic) vs. Zatties! (Zatren6)

Zatties! favored by ~12.

RG3RG3RG3RG3. RG3RG3RG3? RG3!

Also, MJD and Ray Rice may cancel each other out, but Run-DMC definitely looks better than Steven Jackson right now.

Pick: Zatties!

Sparky McRandomsons (Jwolf0) vs. Ellicott Thundercats (True)

Sparky McRandomsons favored by ~5.

That line is assuming True goes into a sugar-induced coma and doesn't wake up until Tuesday so he doesn't replace his bye week player. I'm gonna assume he'll stay away from 2009 Halloween candy this weekend. I also think my RB projections may be a bit inflated, so I actually have to pick against myself this week. Frowns.

Pick: Ellicott Thundercats


Good luck to everyone!
