@Jon vs Tubby23

[Jon]

 

[canadaguy]

I still don't know what the fuck I'm doing

 

[TD]

Oh great I get to face the undefeated.

 

[TD]

Picking up Musgrave and starting him was a good idea.

Fuck the TE position.

Sounds like he got hurt because of course he did.

 

[Tubby23]

Ideal thing to happen when you're facing top of the league too

 

[Jon]

Fuck the Detroit Lions and fuck David Montgomery's 35 carries.

 

[TD]

Fuck the Detroit Lions and fuck David Montgomery's 35 carries.

I was trying to look for a high score...

Then I realized why you said this.

 

[Jon]

Because I was stupid and drafted a talented Detroit RB named Gibbs on three of my fantasy teams this year after having Swift on my teams last year and not having enough of their stupidity then.

Yes, you are right.

 

[TD]

...ouch.

I feel like drafting rookie rbs was risky this year. The Atlanta guy hasn't been doing so hot either. I think?

 

[Jon]

What's worse is I was staring at my roster in my league of record 2 minutes before kickoff and switched out Zach Moss for Gibbs. The regret was immediate.

Sadly, to the bench he goes though

 

[Jon]

...ouch.

He's been good. And honestly, So has Gibbs if they'd give him any god damned red zone touches. Detroit refuses to give athletic backs red zone looks. Gibbs has scored 9 points in each game for me. He's averaged over 5 YPC. But when it took Montgomery 4 attempts to get in from 5 yards out for his third TD tonight, I may have started wishing he would break his leg because that's the only change Gibbs is going to have in his career.

The whole "RBBC is normal" now thing honestly makes the RB situation way more volatile than when I used to play fantasy.

It's working for the Lions I guess though, 3-1.
...what a time to be alive.

Jared Goff and the Lions are leading the division at 3-1. Something I never thought I'd say.

At Least Sam LaPorta looks legit. It'd be nice to have more than a few reliable tight ends in the league.

 

[A Punched Face]

I'm happy that I picked up Jordan Love in my other league that I'm in. Turns out he's actually pretty good.

 

[A Punched Face]

Although I'm sad that I sat Montgomery on my bench in this league lol.

 

[Jon]

In fantasy. He looks pretty lost IRL

 

[VashTheStampede]

I think I know what my team name is gonna be next week...

 

[TD]

Well my match went as I thought it would.

 

[VashTheStampede]

Well my match went as I thought it would.

It ain't over

 

[TD]

It ain't over

Me coming back would be dependant on two Raiders having big games.

...

 

[Tubby23]

Fuck my team and it's coach

 

[VashTheStampede]

I like my team but fuck my coaches

 

[Tubby23]

It's death by 1000 cuts at this point

 

[TD]

So the Raiders injured Herbert.

Of course.

 

[TD]

Vash was literally the only one who outscored me.

 

[A Punched Face]

I'm finally getting closer to having more points for than points against! Only 2.56 points to make up this coming week.

Also I'm finally also ranked in the standings where my points for lines up with my place (3rd).

 

[TD]

Meanwhile my PF/PA was very balanced but is now swinging to PA.

 

[Tubby23]

Meanwhile I have just had a meeting with the CEO and I'm on my last warning

I forgot what thread I was in and thought this was something about your employment situation

 

[Tubby23]

No nothing as trivial as that, fantasy football is much more important

Standings

 

[TD]

Home field advantage?

How does Vash have such low PA!?

 

[Tubby23]

Home field advantage?

How does Vash have such low PA!?

Because he changes his team name every week and the opponents can't prepare appropriately when they don't even know who they're playing!

 

[VashTheStampede]

Um it's called good defense

 

[Tubby23]

Um it's called good defense

 

[TD]

Two of my QBs are both hurt and on bye.

 

[Cole]

Two of my QBs are both hurt and on bye.

normally I wouldn't offer this.

but I can trade you Tom Brady if you want.

 

[Jon]

Really thought I was gonna lose last week...

 

[TD]

but I can trade you Tom Brady if you want.

I don't know if I have enough pieces to offer for him.

 

[Cole]

I don't know if I have enough pieces to offer for him.

I'm sure we can work something out.

 

[TD]

Guys is everything I have for Tom Brady a good trade?

 

[Jon]

Guys is everything I have for Tom Brady a good trade?

Not enough imo

 

[TD]

Wait why would I want Brady.

Tuck rule game.

And if that wasn't enough he literally bought an ownership stake of the Raiders just so everybody knows Tom Brady owns the Raiders.

 

[VashTheStampede]

Oh god so I have to root for the Raiders tonight?

This is weird.

 

[Tubby23]

Oh god so I have to root for the Raiders tonight?

This is weird.

Worse for me I have to root against them....

 

[A Punched Face]

The combination of Jefferson being hurt and SF crushing Dallas means the Raiders basically need to be shut out for me to win. No FGs unless there's a miss involved. 2 TDs with extra points and no other scoring is fine though.

It is wild the amount of bad luck you've had so far this season when you factor in how great your team has been but you keep facing teams at their peak.

It's gotta happen to somebody. So long as I can squeak into the playoffs it'll hopefully end up good.

But at this point...lmao. I'll be a game under .500
