Someone should post the standings.

It's anyone's game in the East.

[BobPhelan]

Man I'm sucking. Not for lack of effort. I have a losing record in 4 out of my 5 leagues. The good news is I don't think hope is lost in any of them but its a alot of holes to get out of. In my other league I'm 4-0 with the most points.

I think it's a very competitive league honestly.

East = AFC, Team blank if the Browns
West = NFC, High Flying Birds is the Panthers

Unfortunately I'm the Falcons. Great record, but I'm not so sure I've got the best team. Hopefully can win the division and get that first round playoff bye.

[BobPhelan]

Me and AllStar both finished with 95 points this week, how come I got the loss? Not like it really matters for me but 1-6 just looks bad.

Btw, I'm 10-4 in Yahoo leagues, 4-17 in ESPN leagues. This trend goes back several years. I hate the ESPN set up and it really shows in my career record with them. I'm much more comfortable with Yahoo and for whatever reason I win much more over there. Just found it odd and frustrating.

[SportsGuy]

This has been a terrible fantasy year for me thus far. One of my leagues that I usually always win or am right there, I am 2-5. Another league I am 2-5 and this league I am 2-5.

Chris Johnson, Calvin Johnson, Murray and the injuries to Jennings and Aaron hernandez have just killed me this year.

[mweb08]

So yes, I should have taken a RB instead of Vick. Then maybe I would have taken RGIII before Sammy did.

But at least Cruz somehow fell to me at 43 and he's been big for the Grenade in the Foxhole.

I also picked the wrong Redskins backup RB. If I only had better foresight in regards to my own team I'd have quite the squad.

I think it goes by bench points for the tiebreaker. I thought I was blown out so I didn't even look.

[Brobey]

My season was single handedly changed by the trade I made picking up Martin and Jackson for Julio Jones...

I took a chance and basically punted RBs until like the 7th round and ended up with Morris who has been great and then picked up Martin.

If Morris can keep it up, I like my chances going forward...

[Chris B]

Oh man, bye weeks are killing me for Week 8!

Foster, Andre Johnson, Green-Ellis, Torrey Smith all out.

I've made a few terrible trades that seemed to make sense at the time. I loved all my drafts except one, I'm 7-0 in that league. It's been a humbling year.

Can't believe I've already locked up the #1 seed, especially since I'm only 2nd in total points. Really kind of crazy how even all the other records are. Gonna be a mad dash for those other 5 playoff spots. Only 2 teams are eliminated. Trading deadline only a week away, time to get dealing!

Hasn't really been many trades.

As you said, basically everyone is involved in the playoffs.

When you look at each team, no one really has a big surplus in something that they could trade out of...at least where it makes sense when matching up with another team. I know for me, I want to add a solid RB...but looking at the teams, I don't really see a match.

Since its not a keeper league, that makes trading even more difficult.

I know for me, I just want to get healthy. If I can make the playoffs and have a healthy Jennings and Hernandez, I like my team's chances. But otherwise, its tough to continue to win with smoke and mirrors.

I 'd like to point out that

A. I picked Mackus team. Are you guys really going to let him going undefeated??? He'd have braqgging rights for ]BSL eternity. Has to retire if he pulls off the undefeated season.


B. MWeb, I told you I loved your first 4 picks and they would carry you. I also told you you screwed the pooch taking Vick over Ridley, VJax, or McGahee. I can be hired for a small fee to advise you before your drafts next year.

Pretty high quality matchup between our teams this week...

First person to 50 wins? Honestly, I don't think I'm gonna get there.

It was a risky pick that didn't work out. Oh well. I bet SG loves that I made the pick now since he was going to take Vick over Peyton. You took him as a starter in a league right? How's that working out?

Ridley has been good, but that was also a risky pick as who knew how the carries were going to be distributed in NE or that they'd use the running game as much as they have this year. McGahee has been solid, but I'm not missing out on anything special there. Meanwhile, Felix Jones has actually become quite useful, at least until Murray comes back.

I don't think you mentioned Vincent Jackson.

Lance Moore wins it for you.

Really great week to catch my team..between byes and injuries, this was a terrible week for me.

And on top of that, in what is as good a matchup as you would like, Houston's def lays a big egg.

[Mackus]

Yeah i got lucky this week. Moore definitely saved me. I had Harvin Lynch and Jackson out for me too.
