MBBRL Suicide League Draft Thread

[Sam Sportboy]

Casualty warning:

With another loss in the Coma league (or wins by Treff and wilwhite), Ram would be mathematically eliminated from playoff contention.

He has no QB or TE, but fortunately for him he's playing Monkey who also probably has no QB this week, along with no WRs and no K.

I am sure glad I drafted 6 WRs.

Thanks to Rice, Blackmon and Crabtree, I am now back to relying on Amendola to stay healthy as an every week starter. Could this be the beginning of the end for my team?

Brady is alive!

So Ram needs 6 from Crosby to keep Coma hope alive.

Treff's coma team, on the other hand, not only rolled in the Coma league, but outscored Treff's Suicide and A League teams combined.

That's no compliment

Wow. did you have Foles? I know you were/are a Vick hater.

By the way, barring huge nights from my Packers (possible), I could lose to Monkey's QBless and TEless squad. Holy Andre Johnson.

So, that's why you guys took back-up QBs. Makes sense now.

Yep. .. One of the few calls outside the norm that might actually pan out

Food for thought. It is never too early to think about next season.

I came across this site:

couchmanagers.com[/URL]

I know there were issues with the slow draft last year, but we could conduct a slow draft on this site at any time of year. You get 24 hours to make a pick, and you can set up email notification when you are on the clock. The interface is easy to use and results for all drafts get saved, so we could easily transport the teams over to ESPN once things open up.

I think the 24 hour limit is pretty key to keep things moving.

Another way to enforce that, if we do the draft on here again and someone fails to pick in 24 hours, Foot gets to make your next pick and he has to choose a deep sleeper.

Cool idea.

Nice tlance! Great find.

And then you ruined it.

Foot will be too busy working on MWHS.

Have we given thought to going to a flex spot next season? Seems like we could avoid dead spots in our lineups that much more with that flexibility.

I'm pretty sure Will is set against a Flex in this league.......................if it went to a vote not sure how I'd vote. Part of me says it should be pure standard but the other part of me would really love a starting line up of Gore,Murray,Megatron,Marshall and either Stacy or Woodhead at flex............

Yeah, but next year Gore will be even slower, Hunter and James will take more time, Murray won't magically avoid serous injury for two straight years, Calvin back will give out, and Marshall will get himself suspended when he slaps the taste out of Cutlers mouth for throwing to Jeffrey once too often. And you'll be hosed again!

The lack of a flex is killing me - I have crazy RB depth and nothing at WR. And for exactly that reason I say no flex! I got burned by a a misguided belief in WR durability, and that's as it should be.

I tend to agree..............now if we renamed it the MBBRL Contemplating Suicide League then I could see having the flex.

Final Suicide League standings.



Incredibly, Sam, Ram, and Scape all beat their A-League scores. (So did Duff, but plugging in emergency fillers and then abandoning his team disqualifies his A-League score.)

Even more incredibly, Ram's suicide team put up 1470 points, the fifth-highest score in all the MBBR Leagues. And that's only having one active RB weeks 2-9 in AP (and no RB at all week 4), having no WR to cover his byes with Cobb out, and of course nobody to cover his DST, TE and K bye weeks.

That's 15 zeroes he had to take, and he still put up the fifth-highest score in any of our leagues. Unbefreakinglievable.

Anyway, good luck to Sam, Ram and Scape (and ww) in the playoffs.

p.s. One week left in the Coma regular season, although it's a moot point since Treff and Lefty have already made the playoffs and will face each other in the Week 16 championship.

 

[wilwhite]

Correction: he had no WRs to cover his byes with Cobb and Britt out. And he did have a backup TE, so he only had to take 14 zeroes, not 15.

 

[Ram Tough]

Still love this suicide league!!! Always fun to see how things work out cant believe how long ago we drafted these teams!!! The Gordon - Jeffery combo was amazing this year.. along with Jimmy this was 1 of my better teams all year... good luck to sam, scape and wil in the playoffs

 

[leftypower]

Congrats to all in the playoffs. My team went to crap from the beginning. This league REALLY makes you appreciate just how well some people see into the future and others not so much (me). It also gives you a great appreciation of the value of trades and the waiver-wire. .....


Glad I backed up Locker with Fitz P in coma. .....
