Re: NFL 2013
Fantasy Football Rambling.
Yesterday night after the Redskins, 49ers game, I thought I had won as my score was 97.5 or so. But on visiting the site today, I was horrified by the change to my score. (Strangely enough, i did not check the site until this evening. ET) So I paced about with my calculator, confused and shocked as to what was happening. After a while, I then worked out that they removed about 2 points or so from Dez Bryant for yards lost when he fumbled the ball against the Giants,, a game I also watched, so he went from 10.something to his current score. Perhaps City Raider can correct me if I am wrong.
This is cruel especially after the very dark past 2 weeks for me in the fantasy league, deluged with strange decisions, incidents and misfortunes. Especially last week when I decided for no reason whatsoever to remove Rivers and Thomas and play Brady and Reed at about 15 minutes before the 1pm kickoff. Reed left the game with concussion in the first quarter. I also watched how McCoy got possessed and ran all over the Redskins. He got injured but alas!! he came back into the game and ran some more.
Last week ,I was also watching horrifyingly as Cooper caught a pass inches from the end zone and the next play will obviously be to run the ball for the touchdown and guess who is going to run the ball for the touch down? you guessed it, LeSean Mccoy.
The same with Moreno this week who decided to have 200+yards rushing game after a curiously absurd start to the match against the Patriots- 3 fumbles from the Patriots in the first quarter, kicked off by Ridley and his scissor hands. I know it was cold and wet but that was strange indeed. Belicheck decided that conceding running yards was a lesser evil than Manning throwing the football so he played a lot of zone coverage and allowed Moreno to have his way. Retrospectively, I did work for them but not for the Illusive Friends of Teo.
I probably have had my fair share of luck and lets face it I don't put many points on the board but I have managed to graft and hustle but as i said my misfortune in this past 2 weeks is at the very least notable. I am just rambling and I am sure you all have your own complaints but my misfortune compelled me to at least ramble about it.
Oh one more thing, Gore was yanked out of the game in the 4th quarter as we were taking RG3 and the Redskins to school. So that was 13-15 minutes of prospective carries denied.
Last week I was very upset, yesterday I was elated, today I am numb and disappointed but It is all fun at the end of the day.
I guess that is my season but If I go down I will go down fighting, comforted by the fact that I gave it a good go.
