Waaah
I want it on the record that thrill's injustice is far less severe than Planet's injustice.

I made my own bad fortune by trading away Clinton Portis to Mary. I would be 9-3 if I hadn't have made that trade. I've sorta been like Walt; I've made a bunch of good moves, but then theres this Mulderesque one that just craps on everything.
I'm happy with my team now. I've got more than enough depth at RB, just wish I could package Torry/Hines + Graham/Peterson + Dunn for Moss/Owens/Edwards/T.J.
Ryan Grant, yet again, has a 20esque point week. Although a lot of that was the 61 yard TD. I still remember being on my ex-GF's dorm room at the UofI, watching the GB game and seeing Grant run only about 4 plays before picking him up. He looked that good.
TimeforGuiness and I have an interesting matchup, in the sense that it is going to be high scoring, and we have an abundance of players for both teams that will be effecting each others points.
For Example:
Pit: Hines Ward (CW) vs. Willie Parker (TFG)
SD: LaDainian Tomlinson (CW) vs. Antonio Gates (TFG)
CLE: Kellen Winslow (CW) vs. Braylon Edwards (TFG)
The most interesting part is, we both have each other's respective QB's Kicker.
Cin: Carson Palmer (CW) w/ Shayne Graham (TfG)
Ind: Peyton Manning (TfG) w/ Adam Vinatieri (CW)
Ergo, each time each other's QB motors down the field and doesn't score a TD, more points will go to the other team. Something interesting to keep an eye on if you didn't notice it.
Not statistically eliminated is correct. I knew I should have done something ridiculous and played the Rams defense this week, but I had to go with Denver. As it stands right now, if the bums hold up and win, and Ward and Palmer go off, I will still have a decent shot at TFG's slot.
I don't like my chances. Need big games out of Roethliswhatever and Miller tonight and hope that the entire Pat's offense except for Tom Brady get shut down tomorrow night. Tahoe's defense and kicker combining for 30 is killing me.
Are you guys adding the points up for the games off of NFL.com or ESPN.com? If you are using StatTracker, could someone post a quick score update of all the games? I'd love to see how this week is shaping up for everyone*
Thanks clevername. I wouldn't normally ask for scores since I didn't pay for it, but I wanted to try and get a handle on what's going on this week.
it looks likely that after this week, Warner's Crunchtime and Skillz that Thrillz will clinch a playoff spot with 10-3 records. lazy bums also has a great chance to lock up a playoff spot with either a win or a TFG loss. There's still a lot of players on a lot of games, but there's a very real possibility that there will be two teams with 8-5 records (TFG and Tahoe Hitmen) and two more teams one game back with 7-6 records (Combat Wombats and Soda Popinski). TFG still has the point tiebreaker by a hefty margin so I think if TFG is going to end up out of the playoffs it will take a better W-L record. Right now the only teams that can do that are Soda Pop and Tahoe Hit Men. If things hold up and Soda Pop loses, then I would say Tahoe Hit Men have the best shot of being the 4th playoff team.
