I'm deeply saddened in Jacksonville. ;_; Friggin' got me ONE point playing against HOUSTON. WTF. I knew I should've stuck with Buffalo when they were playing St. Louis. Grr...

But, I'm hoping I can rebound with a big win over Wireman. Gotta get Drew Brees to have another big game, and with him Robert Meachem (seeing as how Shockey, Colston, and Patton are out due to injury and such). Also need Barber/Turner to rebound from their like...sucky games last week. Faggots let me down.

Did manage to pick up a really nifty 47-point kicker that was a free agent. o.o Don't know why, though. Gotta research that Matt Prater, or whatever. Just about to get a decent TE for my good ol' FSU kicker Janikowski...that'll help seeing as how I already have Prater and Carney. I think I'm trying to trade Prater for Jerricho Cotchery though... Carney's still good. ;] Only trails Prater by 12 points, but he was off last week after all.

Defense is still making me nervous. >>; Don't know if I can count on Buffalo, but it's better than counting on Jacksonville after that humongous letdown last week. Plus, Jacksonville's playing Pitt. Not expecting much out of them...

Wow! We have five people at 3-1 right now. Jotuns (270), Fooseball Fiend (255), Shinobars (245), Board of Education (220), and The Immortalz (192).

I guess we gotta be surprised with Blade's and Sprankton's fall from 2-0 to 2-2, eh? And also with Fooseball Fiend and BoE rising from 0-1, I believe! Interesting season indeed... Hopefully I can hang on and make the playoffs.

What an awful loss...I could've started the Minnesota defense and I would've won.

But what I find disheartening is that punt returns for TDs don't count for points for the defense. I could've sworn that they did. Oh well. I've got work to do now.

I bet! I only watched up until the end of the fourth, but that was pretty crazy to see in and of its self.

I watched the bears/falcons game, and the last half of the fourth quarter was completely and utterly exciting. Did anybody else watch this game?

I caught the end of the New Orleans and Oakland game myself, then was carried along with CBS to watch the end of the Houston vs. Miami game. That was a strange ending... Miami had Houston on two fourth downs on the last drive of the game but just couldn't get that damnable turnover on downs and ended up losing on a Schaub sneak into the endzone with 00:03 left on the clock...

Hopefully that means Barber's going to have to carry the Cowboys. Yay points for me~

I'll have to concur. That's what tends to happen every year though, right?

I'd have to say that the top ten, and especially the top five, teams are making for a very exciting year this time around. I'm hoping that I get the chance to take Board off the board sometime soon. But preferably not when half my team has a bye.

Michael Turner has a bye for me...and I'm facing Boards. Not a good combination. I did manage to pick up Kevin Faulk (seeing as Tim Hightower is ALSO on a bye) however. Hopefully he'll get me more than the projected two points. I also have to really pray that New Orleans does a fantastic passing job against Carolina. If Brees and Moore don't get me some good points, I could be toast.

Gotta watch out for the Buffalo game too... Jacksonville's on a bye and if Buffalo can't pull out a rather good defensive game I'm screwed. And I'm confused on whether or not to use John Carney... Tynes seems to be recovering, but I can't fathom how a team can get rid of a guy who has yet to miss a FG or a PAT for someone who was just injured! I have Matt Prater going for a hopeful trade, so I'm glad I picked up TB's K Matt Bryant.

Wish me luck against Boards everyone! So far, the projected stats seem to have me winning by a point. But since when do those ever hold true...? If I manage to beat Boards, the scramble for first place gets that much more interesting.
