@Groucho Valentine.

I just looked at my league's waiver list and saw Powell was available and projected at 15 this week. This must mean that Forte isn't expected to be available, but does that seem right to you?

Forte didn't practice this week.   He was listed as questionable, even doubtful.

Yeah, but is Powell really a 15-point back this week? ... It just sounds really high to me.

Yeah, he had a knee thing. He was limited in practice all last week. I didn't expect him to play. But I'm sure you know that by now. It was a pretty pathetic week from the offense, so i hope you didn't pull the trigger on powell. IMO, Ryan Anderson and Sefeian-Jenkins are the only Jets worth keeping on your roster, if they are available.

That really did seem too good to be true, but I went and did it anyway. RB is the revolving door from hell for me this year.

On the bright side, the guy that otherwise would have had that spot (GB's Aaron Jones) generated the same crappy 2 points that Powell did and everything else went right for me. 37 points out of LAR's Robert Woods is the big difference maker. I go into tonight with a 20 point lead, Jarvis Landry and Devin Funchess. The oppo has only Ed Dickson. 

Baring a disaster, the Creek Crushers will be tied at the top of the East Division by tomorrow morning.

Nice. Ha. I think jones got hurt. Or was that their other guy? I don't remember. I had Robert woods in my lineup too. Never would have even picked him up if it wasn't having other guys on bye week.

I got a 60 something pt lead. I think my opponent has McCaffery and Dickson. Think I'm safe...haha.

Solid double-digits out of everyone else and Prescott bestows a -2 on me last night. 

Should have been an easy week and now I've got to hope that Russell Wilson doesn't go off tonight against Atlanta.

Is that guy the Bills threw out there at QB the worst player in NFL history? Its certainly debatable. 

Makes me glad I started the Chargers D/ST ;-)

Dak; however, screwed me over, figures.

Wow. That was a -8. Peterman's a rookie and was playing in his second-ever NFL game. Maybe it will get better for him if he gets another chance. Of course, he may not. 

A quick internet search suggests a possible worst-ever quarterback performance may have been Detroit's Ty Detmer against Cleveland of all teams in 2001. He threw seven interceptions that day. ... The all-time record for interceptions thrown in a game is by Jim Hardy with 8. He played for the Chicago Cardinals in a 45-7 loss to the Eagles in 1950. Hardy was actually a pro-bowler one year.

Yeah, Dak screwed alot of folks i imagine. It seems like he's just like a bigger version of Tayrod Taylor without Zeke back there.  I got hosed by the Rams Kicker and D. They'd both been money before yesterday. Only got 1 point combined from both of them. Luckily, everyone else i had in my lineup scored at least 17, (Antonio Brown hello!) so I'm good for the win.

I was trying my best to be optimistic last night. My oppo, the Rak-O-Potamus as he is known, still needed 30 points out of Russell Wilson. ..

... That's exactly what he got. 134-133 L.

If it had been anyone besides Wilson, I wouldn't have been nearly as worried.

Real fast turnaround Thursday against the Chargers. In my 10-team league the next best alternative is Jacoby Brisset or Andy Dalton. Here's hoping a bit of Cowboy pride has been hurt and I get a decent effort.

They're still playing? It felt like winning the Superbowl two weeks ago as a Giants fan, I just assumed the season was over ;-)

    • Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.  
    • Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.
    • Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
    • I have access to far more data (including surveys and polls) than you do with your anecdotes. I mean this as plainly and literally as possible: you’ve demonstrated that you do not. They would, one way or the other.
    • Yes, but you don't live in the UK, so you have no idea what we think about it here. It's a very different mindset here, to demonstrate the fact you should consider 9 out of 10 games we play here are Stableford, whereas you you almost solely play medal. Neither is right or wrong, it's just different  I'm trying to avoid swearing here. Once again, and for the 1000th time, I understand the system, I just don't agree with it. Is there anything wrong with that? PS, I do not have the time or patience to post my results, especially as they prove nothing  That's because 99% of the posters are Yanks
