The Syndicate

Samesies

I can't blame the Rams, it was Pittsburgh who let me down. And of course the Whitehurst-led Colts

Miami I guess

Some sort of tiebreaker thingy. Don't think it matters what you choose at this point, they're all garbage

Oakland

Atlanta

I want the Oakland offense.

There's something I never thought I'd say before the season.

Did I win?

Man, what a poor streaming choice for Golden. This puts me in a good spot.

Every time they pan to Caldwell on the sidelines he has that blank look on his face, as if to say "I think something is happening right in front of me, but I have no idea what it is. A football game, maybe? If I play it cool no one will notice."

I'm worried about handing DH another win. His Ravens will probably put up decent points against the 49ers, and his Jets defense is in a good spot against Washington. His Bears will likely continue to suck though. Meanwhile my Steelers have a tough matchup against Arizona and I'm counting on Miami playing well after their BYE with a new head coach.

The difference maker will be whether or not Andrew Luck can play for the Colts, and whether or not they can keep pace with New England.

Miami

Sending good vibes and positive energy Andrew Luck's way... please play...

That Thursday game was a mess. Get well soon Big Ben.

I don't know if you watched last week but AP looked awesome, especially on his long touchdown run.

I knew the Saints would suck

Trading Darren Sproles was the first mistake. Trading Jimmy Graham was the second. Nobody is stepping up in their place. That team is so boring now.

As for the Panthers... at least you guys just got Jared Allen?

Told you

I beat MP by 1 touchdown

But you have to keep in mind that Philly is playing the Jets and the Chiefs are playing the Packers. I'm pretty sure the Chiefs are going to cost me a lot more points than the Eagles score. New England should kill the Jags but they'll have to dig me out of a hole. DH will probably get enough combined points to edge me by a touchdown or more.

I think the Eagles are in a great position to succeed against the Jets. Their offense is better than Cleveland's and their O-Line is better than Indy's. I smell a big week for Sproles catching passes when the Jets are blitzing, and Jordan Mathews is gonna be in the slot so he won't be facing off against Revis or Cromartie. If Bradford gets his head in the game the Eagles can win.

Your Chiefs aren't gonna be great but Green Bay rarely puts up huge numbers when they don't have to, they're cool milking the clock with the run game and offensive discipline. 24 - 17 is my prediction for that game.

Epi vs Golden: Epi is gonna need like a million points from the Vikings. Not happening.

MP vs TH: Indy puts up a forty burger against Tennessee. Dallas struggles to score a touchdown. Turnip wins.

Leggy vs MM: Total toss up. I'll take leggy.

Nah son

I've got 20 SmashPoints on it.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

My offense is playing your defense and Andrew Luck is pissed. Pittsburgh is playing San Fran who looked legit this week but I wonder how they'll look against a competent team. Rams are playing Washington, nuff said there. I think you're gonna get wrecked son.

My little ponies embarrassed me today. Hope Indy gets their shit together.

Yeah I'm totally losing this week. I think my offenses will still put up respectable numbers, but the Steelers will lose to the Pats and the Eagles will run rampant against Atlanta.

Okay, I guess I'm down to do a mini draft each week. Still better than an auto-loss.

The only problem with simply doing one more draft round is that it won't prevent everyone from being down a team. Epi, Leggy, and MP07 will all be down two teams at some point, so one more draft round doesn't take care of the whole problem.

I like the idea of using the damaged goods that nobody wanted to draft. Since I'm running the show, here's what I propose:

Each BYE week, the players who are down one or more team will have a mini-draft, where they get to select a team from the eight that were left over from the draft. We'll make a rule where you can only use a non-drafted team once, forcing us to use a few different teams to supplement our BYE week needs.

How would you prefer we handle the mini-drafts- random selection or by record (worst to best) ?

What if, if you have an offense and defense both on bye, then you just use both the O and D of your replacement team? Does anyone have two offenses on bye the same week? That's the only problem I can see with doing it this way.

I'd prefer to not have a draft every week there's byes... it takes the EZ out of EZ Fantasy :P If it must be done, I don't really have a preference for whether it's random or by standings.

And yeah, I suppose this does require attention to detail... attention to BYE weeks, which is generally the least fun part of fantasy football!

So essentially you're taking a loss if you have a team on BYE and your opponent is at full strength.

Maybe we should all draft a Bye week replacement team :P

I'd be down to make the playoffs longer or something. Especially since Week 17 is usually irrelevant in the NFL since most of the teams have nothing to play for, and the best teams rest their starters. Maybe make each playoff matchup last two weeks? Just spitballing. Feel free to shoot me down.

What's the point of the regular season if we all make the playoffs? :P

Steelers Offense (how is this still here?)

Rams Defense

Nice. I was tempted but I can't help but feel they're a little too one-dimensional without Murray.

You're not giving that offensive line enough credit.

I was hoping the Chargers would fall to me

About as accurate as Jay Cutler's arm.

Marmots, what are they good for, amirite?
