2013 DobberHockey Fantasy Football League: Season 3

[Pengwin7]

Since he's about to beat me this week, the inactive basement dweller will be up to 3-7. If he can pull off another few fluke wins (entirely possible since he has no one injured), he might not finish bottom two.

Jeebus... Welker & Boldin sure shit the bed this week.
I've been there (underperforming WRs)...

Tannehill did well, and I was winning the matchup. Then they needed a last minute score. On four straight plays, he went sack, sack, incomplete, interception. That INT caused me to lose by 0.7 points.

By the way, this is my second loss of less than a point this season.

I actually watched the 4th Q of that game.
Double loss for you.

1) The game was yours until Revis pulls down the desperation pass and the -1 INT gives Team Inactive the Win.

2) Yahoo! overturned your solo win in the Elimination Challenge and made us all co-winners! Woo, friggin hoo!


Tough week man, tough week.
Fantasy football is 90% luck... I swear.

I don't mind the second one. I'll take a co-championship.

When Miami had the ball with a minute left, I just kept whispering, "Please, just four incomplete passes. Please just four incomplete passes." I didn't want an INT or a fumble loss.

Strangely enough, Yahoo projects the Green Bay defence as scoring zero points this week. Which is weird, considering they are playing the Giants, with Manning who has thrown more INTs (16) than TDs (12) and been sacked 22 times. They've also fumbled the ball away 11 times. And they average only 18.3 points a game, which is third worst in the league. I think they're ranking Green Bay way too low, unless I'm missing something. I know the Giants have a three-game winning streak, but they've only beaten the Vikings, Raiders and Eagles. Not exactly world beaters.

From what I understand on the Yahoo projections, they set a bunch of projections at the start of the year based on last year's team stats.
I think they have a way to tweak it a little bit for this year's statistical considerations... but some things get left out.

For example, I have Roddy White... and every week, the initial projection for him is some 10 or 11pts.
But with his gimpy leg/ankle, he has shown nothing so far that he can hit that mark.
If anything, they should have his projection at 4pts... then raise it to 6pts... then 8pts, if he can get there.

So - my understanding is that the Yahoo! projections aren't accurately building in THIS year's gimpy players and STRUGGLING team offenses/defenses.

Totally agree that GB will at least pressure NYG enough to put up some points.
Perhaps 4 - 6pts, would be my guess.

Dirty dieing Jesus, I won this week by 0.04 pts. 101.26 - 101.22 Sorry Blitz Inc. Damn! I will take it but holy crap that was close!

Congrats to the top 6, qualifying for the Championship Playoffs.
Positions #7 thru #12, qualify for Toilet Bowl.

The teams finished 13th & 14th were inactive for long stretches this season and will be replaced next year.

[rataylor22]

I've been waiting all season for this Pen. Ha!

[rataylor22]

Well. That was supposed to have some quotes from earlier in the thread, specifically where you predicted me to finish 5-8 and be relegated haha. Rookie earned his due my friend.

[Pengwin7]

Yup, gotta give you credit. You outperformed my expectations.
Although... my predictions weren't very good. I had PPQB (Loch) pegged for last place and he dominated the league.

You were one of only a few teams that got solid performance (and avoid injuries) with your top 5-6 picks of your draft.
Some good FA adds too.

[rataylor22]

You too dude! To everyone's credit, they really questioned Ridley in the first round and boy did he not pay off for me haha. Most likely will be inactive for the playoffs! Yuck

[Bomm Bastic]

2012 Phillip Rivers. 2013 Andrew Luck. My QB selection strategy needs re-evaluating.

[Bomm Bastic]

Ray-Ray at at 9th overall see,ed like an effin gift at the time. And to think I was praying Spiller would "fall" to that spot...

Funny, I thought for certain I had the first round of the Toilet Bowl locked up. Only to awaken at 2am to find McCown....yes, McCown beat me. Reminded me of the time I was forced to start Cleo Lemon at QB in the championship game for the $$ league I am in. Unfortunately that did NOT have the same ending. Well, I supposed it did - I lost both games.

[Pengwin7]

BUMPITY-BUMP.
I just re-opened this league and sent invites for... YEAR #4!
New thread shortly...
