NFL Off-Season |OT3| Josh Freeman is fat and eats too much food. Fat. Fatty. Fatfat.

Vick?! The dude who can't stay off the turf and out of the injury report.

:jnc :jnc :jnc

I will admit to a cardinal sin for a Panthers fan: Drew Brees was my starter. So all that stat-padding...went straight to my fantasy score.
I didn't have the first pick but I had a choice between Brees and Vick in my Two Qb league, I had to take the gamble :"/

It's not really all that crazy. Teams have caught onto the fact that passing the ball provides greater expected value per play than running it. The only times where running is beneficial to a team is in short yardage / goal line situations and end of game situations, and even then not as much as conventional wisdom would lead one to believe. This is of course assuming you have a QB who is at least better than Mark Sanchez.

That said 6000 yards would be crazy.

I stockpiled running backs in my draft last year. I ended up really lucky in grabbing Ray Rice, Ryan Mathews, Matt Forte, Willis McGahee and then somehow ending up with Jimmy Graham and Gronk for my tight ends.

You either play in a small league or your buddies dont know football right?

I personally got lucky in my draft so I cant judge.

Only 11 teams had 375 TOTAL yards on offense per game last year. Even Brees would have to get another 40 yards every game and he just blew away every record.

Ten man league last year, this was my team at the end of the year. Had some bad injury problems but I was deep.

Lost in the playoffs.
 
How do FF playoffs work? Do they still take place during regular season?

Mine do. I like to have a league with 4 playoff teams. The last 4 games of the regular season determine the Divisional and championship games.

13+14 point totals determine the first elimination.

15+16 point totals determine the championship.

I like it that way even though for example, it didnt work out for me last year. It allows for a comeback and a more even matchup.

12 teams: 1 QB, 2 WR, 2 RB, 1 TE, 1 Flex, 1 K, 1 DEF, 7 Bench.

They should know much more than me. Just people panicked, someone takes a QB super early and everyone else drops what they're doing and goes after the other QBs to compensate.

For the playoffs I was using Matt Moore and Andy Dalton for my QBs.

But yeah I definitely got lucky in that I took a lot of guys who had gigantic seasons.

Sounds similar to me.

If you look at my lineup I have a LOT of big names that werent high up on many mocks at the beginning of last season.

Well, I never played. Could've imagined something like a redraft based only on teams that made the playoffs or whatever. I really don't have a clue ;-)

Wouldn't work. That'd be like NFL playoff teams getting to sign players off teams that didn't make the playoffs. You have to dance with the girl that you brought, or in Pittsburgh's case, the girl that you got drunk, rolled her unconscious girth into the bathroom, and had your goons guard the door while you made sweet sweet love to the first flap of skin that you found moisture under.

Grabbed my Phins season tix from my parents' house today! Lauren Tannehill Future Incoming! I'm predicting another year missing the playoffs. :( I just hope to see Moore come out with the same fire he has last season, Bush get another 1000 yard rushing season, Clay develop into a great TE/FB and Ryan Tannehill give us some Marino-esgue hope.

I'm actually pretty up on Moore. He's got a bit of a noodle arm, so his deep throws are lollipops, but he doesn't throw a lot of picks. He only goes downfield when he has a mismatch, so I figure he's fairly decent at reading coverages. If he can pass some of that on to Tannehill, who's got the better arm, then we could be in great shape going into next season.

Unfortunately, our receiving core might suck worse than last year. Well...Chadcinco can't drop nearly as many TDs as Marshall, but we still have Hartline at the #2 WR. He's got great hands, but not so great athleticism. That he gets so open all the time is probably a testament to his route-running, but I was really hoping we'd be able to keep Marshall and grab another WR so we could move Hartline to the slot. Hartline would be Welker-good in the slot...realtalk. Instead, we're gonna rely on Bess to not drop passes and actually separate from his man. Clyde Gates didn't impress even once last season, so I don't expect much from him this season. PEACE.

^^^^ Moore? I think you mean David Garrad ;)

I sure as shit hope not. Moore is a better QB than Garrard. I didn't re-up on my tix to watch a QB I hated watching JVille. At least Moore gave us Phins fans a ray of hope last season. The dude plays with an intensity that elevates everyone else on the roster. Garrard? Ugh...utter fail if he starts the season. Plus, that would be the ultimate kick in the nuts to Moore who was one of our best players last season. PEACE.

I earned myself a healthy ban in the NBA thread. Something to the tune of a year and a half. :lol:

This is my second season as a Dolphins season ticket holder. Just my luck I decide to jump in during two of the worst seasons in franchise history. Can't beat that $250 price for the season though. :p PEACE.
 
PEACE = the new you people/racist?

Also on inside note Skylar from Breaking Bad does make me mad, but I'll still for sure do her......angrily .....

Supposedly Garrard is committed to staying in shape. Haven't seen him in MIA but he was heavy in JAX. He was an above average QB for a year and half. I think they should go with Moore as well but I guess we'll all get to see once Hard Knocks starts up.

I nominate a new literary award, the Gray Penis Award to the best cheesy, chick porn novel.

I always thought those romance novels were dumb and harmless, but I saw those excerpts from that Twilight fanfic and it is pretty damn nasty to my delicate sensibilities.

Jeez what are your seats like?
 
My wife has thrown the gauntlet down today.

She said we're going to see the Dark Knight today. If we don't make it she's gonna be pissed.

She's still mad that I went with my friends to see Transformers instead of her. If this get messed she'll drown me with complaining.

Welp, all shows sold out. Not my fault, but I still may get blamed.
