im starting to wish i had gone with parker instead of caddy. caddy hasnt done a thing and parker is runnin on turf tomorrow

12/17/2005 3:50:47 PM

Wow.. I totally didn't see the Bucs getting raped today. I totally missed my prediction on Simms & Caddy. It actually helps me though, cause my opponent had Galloway.

12/17/2005 4:43:27 PM

DeShaun Foster @ NO or Sam Gado @ BAL?
Mark Brunell vs DAL or David Garrard vs SF?

Right now Im leaning toward Gado and Garrard....thoughts?

12/17/2005 4:57:23 PM

unsure about the QB situation, but expect foster to go batshit nuts on the saints

12/17/2005 7:04:26 PM

wow i'm really gonna regret not starting evans after that performance

12/18/2005 8:34:13 AM

After Burress's crappy performance, my other WR needs to come up big.

So Housh or Glenn?

12/18/2005 12:31:48 PM

well I dont think I've ever hated mark brunell more than I do right now

4 TD passes on my bench

and I'm down by 7 points with Donald Driver left to play

12/18/2005 7:22:56 PM

Glad I went with Housh.

Too bad the person I was playing had Hasselback and freakin' Chris Cooley, wtf?!?

12/18/2005 7:57:38 PM

I had Cooley on the bench, so that hurts, but with Rudi & Alexander running rampant, my team will be on it's way to the finals. I just hope Seattle doesn't bench Alexander.

12/18/2005 8:09:58 PM

I feel your pain on Brunell...but Garrard did ok for me and I have a 24 point lead, so Im not complaining. Hes got Driver left and I have Ryan Longwell, so as long as Driver doesnt have a career game Im ok

12/18/2005 9:56:09 PM

so what did panthro screw up this week guys?

12/19/2005 5:47:45 PM

OK, I am down by 11, can start either the ravens D or the Packers D to make up the difference, I am going with the Ravens, but anyone have any input???

should have started rudi johnson over cadallic but oh well...

12/19/2005 5:51:07 PM

im gonna go on a limb and say go with the packers D, you got Boller who cant really play a good game yet, Taylor who hasnt shown me anything, Mason is the only downfield threat and he shouldnt put up huge numbers...for some reason i think Favre goes off on this team tonight, Gado will have a decent game but Favre will stomp em...

i say go with the packers

12/19/2005 5:57:33 PM

^ how the fuck is that going out on a limb?

A week ago the Packers had the number 1 pass defense in the NFL, ranked 6th overall....

(not sure if that has changed)

against the second worst offense in football (1st goes to DA BEARS!)

thats a pretty big limb

[Edited on December 19, 2005 at 6:05 PM. Reason : packers offense will shoot holes into the ravens D]

12/19/2005 6:04:36 PM

packers?
Yeah, I do like their chances vice the ravens ability to put up some points against the packers D...

I've got the season in the bag if I can just get over the mistake of not starting Rudi Johnson... belive me I am kicking the crap out of myself for that and don't want to make the same mistake for the D...

so starting the Packers over the Ravens... gosh I hope so....

12/19/2005 6:21:16 PM

I just need Donald Driver to score 6 points for me

1 touchdown or 120 yards pleeeease

12/19/2005 8:35:34 PM

15 yards receiving and 7 fumbles for Driver plz.

12/19/2005 9:00:09 PM

yeah, going with the packers is not such a good thing...

12/19/2005 10:11:31 PM

Quote :

"A week ago the Packers had the number 1 pass defense in the NFL, ranked 6th overall.... "

What does that have to do with anything? The Packers D sucks. The only reason teams don't throw much against them is because they can run it down their throat all day long.

Baltimore's D isn't much better, but it's going up against a QB that leads the league in interceptions...he just threw another one while I was typing this.

12/19/2005 10:23:01 PM

AHAHAHAHHAHAHA

Packers #1 pass defense = NCSU's #1 statistical defense of a year ago. It doesnt mean shit and damn sure doesnt equate to wins.

Driver almost died on that hit from Ed Reed.

Favre needs to retire.....before the start of the second half.

Nice insight on picking the Packers D, JT3bucky

yep, lost by 2.5 points. Had the second most points out of any team this week, just happened to be going against the team with the most points this week.

oh well, thats the thing that idiots like you, Panthro dont get, fantasy football is about 75-90% luck. YOU arent out there on the field making plays, so YOU really arent doing anything. Its all for entertainment, quit acting like you are some God because the players on your team happen to be doing well this season.

Trust me or not....i dont really care.

Just remember, i am going for a three peat in my league this year and i will make certain to join TWW's league next year and dominate once more.

Quote :

"My QBs are the following Brees vs KC Bledsoe vs CAR Plummer vs OAK pick 2 and why"

Brees & Bledsoe.

Picking these 2 for very similar reasons. Both are playing at tough environments, and will likely be playing from behind. LT is not 100% and KC has a great run defense to begin with, more than likely keeping the trend of a pass happy Brees going for another week. KC's secondary is lackluster and they have big trouble at stopping the TE. Gates and McCardell should do something big.

Bledsoe is in a must win situation and coming off of a piss poor performance @ the Redskins. The Panthers rush D is not unstoppable, so i look for the run to set up some play actions for down field looks to Glenn, along with outs and hooks to Johnson, and dumpoffs and posts to Witten.

No to Plummer b/c its going to be cold as hell, maybe snow, and the Broncos will run the Raiders into the ground. No need to pass there.

Quote :

"My RBs R. Johnson vs BUF L. Jordan vs DEN T. Jones vs GB S. Jackson vs SF pick 3 and why"

My RBs

R. Johnson vs BUF
L. Jordan vs DEN
T. Jones vs GB
S. Jackson vs SF

I've learned my lesson with Jackson. He's just too inconsistent. The only way i would play him out of those four would be if something bad comes back from the MRI that Jordan had today. In all honesty, there is no real reason he would hurry back from a potentially bad injury. Keep an eye on it, if Jordan plays, start him, but if he doesnt, Jackson wont be a bad play vs the 49ers. Thomas and Johnson are no brainers. Both are fighting to get (Bengals) and keep (Bears) a first round bye in the playoffs. I look for this to be the last week either of those teams go all out for 4 quarters.

Quote :

"W/T C. Cooley vs NYG H. Ward vs CLE J. Galloway vs ATL T. Glenn vs CAR pick 3 and why"

W/T
C. Cooley vs NYG
H. Ward vs CLE
J. Galloway vs ATL
T. Glenn vs CAR

I know that looks wierd, considering the season Galloway has had, but the falcons are in a must win, Galloway has had a few bad weeks in a row, and he will be matched up against that bad ass corner in Atlanta, Hall, i believe is his name. I know thats out on a limb, but Hall has shut down every big name reciever he has faced this year. He murdered Horn last week vs the Saints, he locked down T.O. when they played the eagles. he is bad ass. Cooley = 3 TD's last week. gotta start him. Ward, always finds a way to get involved. He had a bad week last week put he was nursing an ankle injury. He should be @ 100% this week. Glenn (see above on Bledsoe)

Quote :

"WRs Housh vs BUF S.Moss vs NYG T. Glenn vs CAR pick 2"

Glenn is already starting based on the other question. Housh and Moss are both great plays this weekend.

Hold me to this and lets see how it turns out.

12/20/2005 12:13:12 PM

I'm going to go on record right now saying you're wrong about the QB situation.

Brees and Plummer should be your picks. Bledsoe against a good line = BAD NEWS. I'd take my chances with Plummer regardless of weather.

Also, the Fantasty Football Guru should also be the 'weather.com guru.' If he was he'd realize Denver on Saturday is supposed to be 50s and Partly Cloudy.

[Edited on December 20, 2005 at 12:19 PM. Reason : durr typo]

12/20/2005 12:14:36 PM

You'll see. That weather will be ass-crack.

I know Bledsoe is going out on a limb, i just have a feeling that they will bounce back and play a hell of a game. Parcells will have them 'Boys ready....but they will still lose.

Anderson, Bell, Dayne....running down Oaklands throat. Plummer may have a TD pass, but Bledsoe will have a better one, strictly from a fantasy standpoint.

I need some help in the league championship.

QB
Garrard (v. HOU) or Delhomme (v. DAL)

RB
Bettis (v. CLE) or J. Wells (v. JAC) or M. Bennett (v. BAL)

WR
w/ E. Parker out (this might kill me)
Ma. Clayton (v. MIN) or J. McCareins (v. NE) or B. Lloyd (its looking like he might be out for week 16 as well) (v. STL)

Here is my line up as of now:

QB - Delhomme
WR - Ro. Smith - solid
WR - I. Bruce (might consider switching out) (v. SF)
WR - B. Engram (he has been huge the last 4-5 weeks)
RB - T. Barber - solid
RB - ? see above
TE - T. Gonzalez - solid
W/T - L. Coles (v. NE) (up in the air on this one)
W/R - Ma. Clayton (also up in the air) (v. MIN)

K - J. Wilkins - solid

My D is solid:

DB - T. McGee
DB - A. Archuleta
DL - K. Bulluck
DL - L. Briggs

These are all tough calls, just looking for some feedback.

12/20/2005 12:29:45 PM

Panthro you still suck donkey dick, you have made what one good call all season? I wanna know what league you are in to see how shitty the rest of the teams are...there is NO WAY that you win in ANY league unless you are playing against 3rd graders.

i started miller

Palmer may not play the entire game, and Dungy has already said that Edge and the starting wide recievers wont either.

I think I am going to fuck him up.

12/20/2005 4:08:06 PM

yeah I agree with Panthro, I think he'll win cause all of the teams that he has players from are all fighting for playoff position/births so they will be in all game

Palmer, Housh, Rudi, Wayne and Edge will probably all see limited playing time

while Steve Smith, Hines, LJ, LT, and Shockey are all playing for position and will probably play the entire game

I can see why you are winning so much this year, your team is stacked. I'm pretty happy to just be in the playoffs with the lineup I had
