Message Board Braggin' Rights League

[Chef99]

Alright fellas..I don't often do this, in fact since we began the MBBRL, I don't recall ever asking advice on my team. . But with nothing to lose and a miracle needed to avoid relegation, that's what I'm doing now. .

So, considering DJAX may not play, Jennings may not play. . Meaning Garcon and A. Williams "should" be better plays than they normally would be, Maclin facing Sherman, Martin v. Detriot, . .who are your starting plays 2 RB's, 2 WR's and a flex?

Blount @ SD
Ivory @ Minnesota
Martin @ Detriot
Williams @ Tennessee

Maclin v Sea
Lafelle @ SD
M. Bryant @ Cincinnati
Garcon vs StL.

For what it's worth: Blount, Williams, Ivory, Maclin, Garcon.

I am itching to start Blount today, just can't think of a logical reason to do it.

Good luck today, Treff!

 

[TREFF]

Thanks for the assist ya'll.

I've been really leaning towards putting Williams in, just know dammed good and well I'll put him in over the wrong guy!

Sam... I'm mostly along the lines of what Joe said. Not a fan of picks for players.

My two cents. . Perhaps there could be some sort of by law staying that trading for a player after week X, that player must be used as your keeper next year. . Which may, or may not, curb some of that thinking.

Really just tossing shit at a wall here, I'd rather not see picks for players unless your talking a dynasty format, "keeper" just doesn't have enough behind it to justify the deals, at least not until you start talking about 4, 5, 6 player keepers

Guess lefty said that. . Not Joe...ooppps

I'm with Wil. The trade deadline is there for a reason. Week 10 is s perfect time. The traders have to make s decision on whether to go for it or not. Having the deadline after you know your fate gives you no incentives. Makes it too easy, IMO.

 

[Sam Sportboy]

Here's the thing though. Through week 12 (we had a team that was 0-12) not one team was more than a game out of the playoffs and everybody had a real, legit chance at the playoffs..............so basically we had one "seller" and 11 "buyers". Hell, as of right now there are only 3 teams eliminated and only 2 teams in (but now there are a couple of crazy scenarios that don't stand a chance). Maybe we should just go to either keeping more (what I've been pushing) or go to a redraft (which I totally agree week 10 is the deadline that makes sense).

 

[Sam Sportboy]

Crap, my picks

Sam over Bandit
Fuzzy over Joe
Ram over Monkey
T over Wilduff
Lefty over TKO
TREFF over B

So, does anybody know the scenario that gets me in? Lmao.

 

[Barilko]

Hey, Bar, you're welcome to come over to watch the game tonight. Kaner vs PK.

Hey Joe I would have loved that. Hey you get finals tix and I'll be there. Now if the Habs and Hawks make it bliss!!!

Actually the Habs showed in Chicago it was a good game. But trust me they are nowhere near what their record projects They are barely a 500 team only reason they have lots of points is Price. and I can not take anymore of Therriens coaching. Price keeps him employed

 

[Barilko]

The chances of remaining in the A league would remain unchanged. Maybe trade em both to Bandit for Tebow?

Treff you are one of the biggest reasons for me to climb to A. So if you kick my butt this week so be it. Hang on buddy hang on

Well I ain't gonna lie. .I ain't happy about the way this season has gone. But I'm more than confident that it'll be a 1 year hiatus and I'll be back to extract my revenge

Something I have been thinking about....

Obviously anybody can have a nightmare year where everything goes wrong. Should there be some level of achievement that gives an owner 1 free pass from relegation?

Maybe some combined number of breakdown titles + championships? Like 6? A league only of course.

I agree with that but I think you can lower that number a combo of 3 works for me for an anytime use pass. And I think if u win either 1 once you should have an auto bye if u mess up the following year

 

[TREFF]

I think we're walking a slippery slope by doing something like that, even if I do like the idea.

I think the commish should be immune. . How about that one?

If we did it, it would have to be a big number. You can get 2 in 1 year with a great season. Has to be at least 5 IMO, so that you would need more than 2 good seasons.

Just a thought, and I don't know how to manage the teams that would actually move down.

 

[TKOSpikes]

Can't believe I talked myself into Torrey this week.

Good point. But I do like auto pass the year after you win

 

[Bandit]

The only thing I can say about my team's underwhelming performance is that I'm really glad I lost last week now and had no hope this week. My team was projected at 130 points before the game and I am at 60 with only Lacy to go. Not thinking I'm going to get my projected score. Sam's defense is back!!

 

[TREFF]

My last dying breath in KOTF..41 points from Rivers, Gates, Blount and LaFell..

Here's to the OVER on the Vegas line of 54!

 

[leftypower]

From Rotoworld:
Josh Gordon secured just 2-of-7 targets for 15 yards in the Browns' Week 14 loss to the Colts.
This was the most-notable dud of the fantasy week against a Colts defense missing top CB Vontae Davis. Coach Mike Pettine revealed after the loss that the Browns purposely reduced Gordon's snaps on third downs because they "thought he was getting too many."


????? duhhhh - best player you have but was getting too many third down looks - obviously the most logical way to win. .... no wonder the Browns are a mess. ...

 

[TKOSpikes]

I agree with the Browns here. Have you watched him? He makes up his own routes. Only hustled when he wants. I thought they forced it to him way too much vs the Bills. I think trying to get him the ball made them worse.
