How often does a WR go for 200+ yards? Not often. How often does someone get to go against 2 guys that do it in the same week and in the championship game. Probably never until this week. What a pounding I got from those two.

My opponent in the Finals had both Roddy White and Dez Bryant. It almost felt like he was cheating! lol
At least he didn't have Russell Wilson too. Good god. But yeah, losing in the Finals when your opponent has a couple of guys who totally go off, well it's definitely ranting/venting material.

I'd rather lose with a couple guys going off than my opponent sucking and my team sucking even worse.  Nothing  I hate more than to watch my team who is favored by 30+ score 76 points under projection to lose to a team that scored 20 points under projection....(My life last week).

Gah!

Woke up Monday morning to find rosters unlocked.  Set my roster for next week then trolled the WW dropping crappy bench players to pick up QB's that my opponent might need since he had Matt Ryan.  Also picked up Montell Owens (who I didn't need) and Bengals Defense.

LM reversed the WW pickups.  We do FAAB and all season we've not allowed WW pickups on Tuesday.  Since rosters unlocked on Monday, and we allow pickups/drops on Monday, I was able to make pickups.

LM said, since my opponent went to bed before Sunday games and worked after that, he didn't have a chance to get anything off the WW, even if he'd known he had to take stuff of Monday.

I had 0 FAAB for the past few weeks.

As a result?  My defense I wanted got scooped.  My opponent got one of the QB's I'd picked up to bench (Russell Wilson) as well as Montell Owens (in case his Matt Forte doesn't go next Sunday).

Yeah, pretty friggen lame.

Same here.  It's so dumb.  As far as I'm concerned, I've already won this season regardless of the outcome today.  Best record, most points, won all of my other playoff games.  Today is a bunch of nonsense.

What a terrible week for me.

Last week I sat Jamaal Charles and Jeremy Maclin for Darren McFadden and Brandon Lloyd.  I also had Aaron Hernandez put up 1.5 points.

As a result, I was the underdog going into the second week of 2-week h2h playoffs.and was losing by 7.5 points.

This week I'm excited.  I love my players, love my matchups, love my opponents matchups.

Noon games occur.  I only have Doug Martin and Antonio Brown.  My opponent has Matt Forte, Benjarvis Green-Ellis, Calvin Johnson, Brandon Marshall, and Garrett Hartley.  Pretty much his entire roster.

Score after the noon games?  169 - 147

Looks good, down by 22!

3:25 games.

I've got Aaron Rodgers, Jamaal Charles, Eric Decker, Aaron Hernandez, Knowshon Moreno and Chargers Defense

Against

Russell Wilson, Michael Crabtree, Jermichael Finley, and 49ers Defense

By half-time, I'm up, pretty decent lead, something like 20 points.

Then, almost all the players on my team are involved in blowout games and don't do anything the remainder of the game.

Crabtree goes off and has a career game and puts up 8 for 172 and 2 TDs

Score going into evening games - 247.5 to 231

I have Kai Forbath left.

My Dez, Romo and Garcon against his Alfred Morris and Miles Austin going into the final game of the season. Championship on the line, I'm down by seven but projected to win by 30 going into the last game. His Pitta put up 0 points today and his Austin gets injured early. All signs pointing up for me.

Then Morris happened. Ugh.
