Holy crap! I cannot believe the Jets pulled that one out. I won by ONE POINT :o and he had Julio Jones... thought I was done.

 

I love this sport!

Another nice win, Charisma! But if you wouldn't mind losing next week, I'm trying to gain back that extra W in the rankings! I forgot all about the game last night until it was already over at about 11:30. Can't believe the Jets pulled it out!

[Charisma Veteran]

I certainly won't go down without a fight! Best of luck though (to everyone) :D

 

I kept debating between Randle or Floyd for that spot, SO glad I made the right choice. Came down to luck in the end though honestly.

Anyone want to join a fantasy hockey league with me? I can't find anyone willing to play fantasy hockey, everyone says it's too much work so I'm joining a public league. I joined "Ice Cream Saturday" on Yahoo, drafting tonight at 8pm EST if anyone else wanted to join.

I love Vernon Davis so much.

 

That is all.

 

(Different league, but he made the difference for me this week.)

 

Tough luck AJ. James Jones should have had a fantastic game, of course. I hope he gets well soon :(

Can you believe the Giants played so well last night? I know the Vikes really only have AP to speak of, and I thought NYG might win, but I didn't expect a blowout like that. Good on them.

[Astra.Xtreme]

Whew, much needed win even without Jacobs playing, which was a crappy pickup.

[AJerman]

Thanks Charisma. I've been slammed at work recently and haven't had my forum browsing free time!

 

And damn, I hadn't seen that I got stat-corrected out of that win Week 6! No wonder things looked wrong when I was looking at the records Monday night. 

[Charisma Veteran]

Aww =/ yeah, I considered not posting this week's yet, but I'll edit it if they change anything in the next couple of days.

In other news, reports are that J. Finley has a bruised spinal cord, but he's up and walking.  That was a super nasty hit he took, and we were a bit worried that it might be a career-ender.

Whoa. WHOA NOW :rofl: Did you see how many 3-and-outs the Giants had? They didn't play well, they just lucked into playing the Vikings at the best possible time heh. I stayed up to watch that game then wondered why I'd made the effort ^_^

Hahahaha, yeah, the Giants were absolutely awful. The Vikings were just that much worse. I'll give it to the Giants D, they didn't look too terribly bad, but they didn't have much to do. The star of the game was really Peyton Hillis who doesn't even play or work out anymore, haha.

I was so worried for him. He needs to get lots of rest, but I'm so glad there isn't any massive permanent damage. Get well soon, Finley <3

OK, you're right. I likened it to watching two minivans race. The competition is there, I suppose, but it's boring and rife with problems and not really something many people want to watch for three hours. It's a testament to how badly the Vikings played that they looked "good".

Haha, yup pretty much.  It helped that Freeman basically set a record for the worst QB performance in NFL history.

[Astra.Xtreme]

Insane points for Megatron last week.  Much needed boost in points.

 

Alright Charisma, ready to chalk up a loss!  :D

[Charisma Veteran]

I hope not! But it could happen. Never realised how much I relied on Denver and SF until they're both on bye the same week. This is a sketchy week for both my teams :S

BOOOOOO CALVIN JOHNSON, BOOOOO!!!!!

 

I was killed by byes in both leagues last week, but might as well get it over with. Still won my other league, obviously not here. :laugh:

I found out last week that it's really hard to maintain an active interest in fantasy once the byes hit in earnest when more than half the teams in the league haven't changed since week 1. I'd like to join next year's Neowin league right now xD

Man, you need to get in a league with people who actually play then. The Neowin league is semi active, most of us keep up with it fairly well, a few of us stay on top of it. My other money league you don't get a second to sleep on it or else you'll miss every opportunity that arises. Bye weeks are what make it interesting when there aren't many players available as free agents.

[Prosidius]

I have the worst luck with my team this year.  Every single player on my team has missed time due to injuries.  This week it's Aaron Rodgers, next week it's probably going to be my punter.  

[Charisma Veteran]

Man, nice game Astra. Andre Johnson blew up!

 

I was actually at Green Bay Monday night for that game. It was such an awesome experience! But then I watched Aaron get hit >.< I was so disappointed we lost, but more concerned about him and the viability of the team going forward. :S

Oh wow, I bet your heart sunk.  I know mine did.  With A-Rodg out, we might have to worry about even making the playoffs.  :cry:

I think they activated the ex-Badger Tolzien, so it would be neat to see him step in and do well.

She has a playoff spot locked up, so she can probably play benchwarmers from here on out.  :D
