The Syndicate

Count me in. This doesn't look like it requires a ton of effort on my part.

Time for my pick eh. Looks like I just missed my first cutoff time. Well I will make this one.

I will take San Diego Chargers Offense.

I will also take Cincinnati Bengals Defense (since I'm up first in the second round).

And actually, you get to pick two teams, since your last in Round 1 and first in Round 2.

Done!

Now hopefully my final pick will come after all the Week 1 games are played.

Bold, yes you are probably right. I'm a bit out of the loop on football.

Maybe not that bold then. I've manage to piss people off with both picks already.

Sorry MP. I was surprised to still see them around even though I picked last.

We've got Joey Votto. That dude is a f'ing beast.

Arizona Cardinals Offense.

He should have picked the Houston Oilers Tenessee Titans.

Miami was who I was tossing up with NY to pick.

I feel most sorry for Miami of those left.

Obviously:

Civvies = golden, G-Man, MM, MP
Baddies = epi, DH, TH, leggy

Although leggy is a wild card for me because I don't really know her in a mafia context.

I'm beginning to be pretty sure MM has never rolled bad in his entire mafia career. I haven't seen it.

Not true. I play bad all the time when I'm civ.

What about scrapping the "random rematch" game and making it a 13 week season with the playoffs starting in Week 14?

Then give two teams double byes (automatically make it to the Week 16 playoff round) and give two more teams a single bye (they start in Week 15)?

I'm also just spitballing.

Looks like I have the fortune of not playing any teams while their defense is sitting. That's good to know.

I also better win Week 7. My defense is off that week and leggy's Denver Offense is also off that week.

DharmaHelper v. MovingPictures07

Golden v. Metalmarsh89

Here's the NFL Week 1 schedule in case you want to see who your teams are playing. Who do you think will win the Week 1 games?

MovingPictures07 over DharmaHelper
leggylorlyb over Epignosis
G-Man over Turnip Head
Metalmarsh89 over Golden

I guess that could work. One more draft round?

This is what I'd like to do. I don't even care that I get last pick, losing automatically isn't very fun
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) ?

You're right. I just would have picked a team that had a bye week the same week my defense did. :P

If it would worked.

You scored about what I expected for your roster. Had MP's defense (Houston) played to last year's form against the Chiefs and their mediocre offense, he could easily have been in striking distance. He needs 40 points which isn't impossible if the Giants play as bad as they did last year.

He should have listened to me and picked the Titans. Marcus Mariota man.

My defense plays one of my offenses this week. So now I'm depending on Arizona to light it up against Chicago.

Epignosis wrote:Oh, and it appears I'm up against MM in both things.

And you don't have Kirby on your team this time.

G-Man wrote:Epi lost. Even though two of MM's teams canceled each other out, MM had Arizona, who scored 48 points. I am stunned.

I also see that my match against MP boils down to the final score of the Dallas-Philly game. If Dallas wins by a touchdown, we tie. Any more, MP wins. Any less or is Dallas loses, I win.

Arizona is clearly a force to be reckoned with. So is Cincinnati's defense.

A lot of weeks left, but I'm happy with the way my teams have performed thus far.

After tonight's game, I'll be 1-7-1 in my regular fantasy leagues, but 3-0 in G-Man's EZ fantasy league.

I know Arizona has a better offense this year, but I didn't expect them to lead the league in scoring thus far.

Good point.

But I guess I also never expected the Saints, or even the 49ers to be as bad as they've played this season.

I don't know how well my teams will do this week, but I don't see TH's teams doing particularly well.

The biggest decider will be my Arizona offense is playing his St. Louis defense. Arizona has proven to be pretty formidable on both sides of the football.

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

I picked up Baltimore defense in your league, and they almost let me down.

But thankfully Forsett finally got some yards on the ground.

G-Man wrote:Epi has the weaker record, so he gets to select first. Since he needs two substitute teams, he has to wait for a 'second round' of sorts. This gives us a selection order of:

So not only did I have to pick last twice in the pre-season draft, but I (presumably) have to pick last in the supplementary draft as well?

Golden wrote:I never knew that MM was good at something, but look at him go!

That's because it's EZ!

I think I'll win again this week too.

Epignosis's New Orleans offense plays Atlanta, and Minnesota offense plays Kansas City. That's one bad matchup and one good matchup. But then his Carolina defense goes into Seattle to play, not a good matchup.

For my team, Arizona offense plays Pittsburgh, a decent matchup, and San Diego offense plays Green Bay, a bad matchup. But Cincinnati defense plays Buffalo, which is a good matchup for me.

That must also be why Epi is terrible at it. He only succeeds at things which actually require skill.

He's actually still 5th out of 8 in points scored. He's just been a victim of unfortunate scheduling. Same could be said for his fantasy team.

G-Man wrote:After the 1:00 games, Epi is up by 55 points over MM89. Epi's defense needs to avoid screwing up and he can get his first win by dishing out MM89's first loss. MM89 still has San Diego earning him points in the 4:30 game.

San Diego has 17 points so far and Carolina has given up 23 points so far.

Just need 15 more combined points by San Diego and Seattle to pull one out.

Ah rats.

Miami Dolphins defense.

Nobody wanted Miami offense this week.

I guess I'll just make do with their defense.

Methinks you spoke too soon. They really let the Texans back in that game. Leggy finished with only 2 points for the week though, so you need four touchdowns from your offenses to tie. It's most likely a win for you as long as Arizona doesn't fall flat again this week.

I honestly would have picked their offense instead, given the choice. :P

But yeah, that's a lot of garbage time points to give up. Yeesh.

G-Man has a pretty weak SOS. :P

If my math is correct, I edged G-Man this week 40-36. That was close.

I've been meaning to ask, what do the last two columns in your charts mean, G-Man?

Kinda like Smashfest?

Actually, I forget your character.

When is the last time I didn't take down the mighty marmot?

Recruitment I guess. :P

I need San Diego to score 39 points tonight to beat Golden. They've got the potential, but that's still a pretty large amount.

Me too!

Hey, I just remembered G-Man is probably still looking after his wife's new baby.

Metalmarsh89 (1 offense off)
Turnip Head (1 offense off)

So this week only Turnip Head and I have to draft supplementary teams to play. I haven't done the math on the current standings, but I was 3 games up on TH before this week, so he'll be going first.

Here are the teams to choose from.

Atlanta Falcons - on bye
Cleveland Browns
Jacksonville Jaguars
Miami Dolphins
Oakland Raiders
San Francisco 49ers - on bye
Tennessee Titans
Washington Redskins

You're up TH.

I'll take Washington Redskins offense.

Never thought I'd say that either.

Hey DH, how about that free agent pickup?

Technically the wrong thread, but eat shit regardless

I was talking about picking up Washington's offense because I play you this week. :P

G-Man / 5-5 / 332 PF / 175 PA
leggylorlyb / 5-5 / 143 PF / 174 PA

This league is nuts!

Let's hope the Bengals defense can get healthy by this coming Sunday.

Yup, Bengals D is healthy again.

But looks like leggy's teams just played even better than mine.

To be fair, I was the second-highest scorer this week. :P

And I think my PF speak for themselves.

Lol@ San Diego. They knew what I needed.

Well you did vote for all of the teams to make the playoffs.
