OT 2018-2019 Rip City Two FANTASY FOOTBALL

[BonesJones]

I know you told me to stop talking about it a page or so back. I think Ive got this week won now so I wont try to convince you you’re still in it.

Ill say this as for whatever reason last year the 1st half of the Blazer season was just driving me nuts, its the closest I have ever come to just saying Im done I cant do this crap anymore. Between the Blazers, and the Ducks woes, in terms of sports I was incredibly unhappy.
So what I did was a took a couple days off, no forums, no sports checks on my phone, just took a couple days to remind myself why I enjoy it and get back to it.

You’ll probably just think I sound like an idiot, but for me I found just reminding myself why I enjoy sports in the first place helped out quite a bit. I was letting my emotions get the best of me and I wasnt enjoying it. It helped a lot that the Blazers turned things around.

I've gotten better man, especially with the Blazers. I've just never been this triggered over fantasy football. It's like I can call everything that's about to happen against me and it's not fun. I feel like I'm already knocked out of the playoffs as it is. I've never been 0-3. I vent a lot on the forum which annoys people but shit man, I feel like I'm missing out on the enjoyment of football right now and it's something I've been looking forward to so it's an insane letdown. For whatever reason, my anger in general has gotten worse in the past year so that's probably contributing, but the thing that helps me with that is by enjoying sports, so it's a Catch 22.

...already giving up on your "best drafted team"?!

And then you have people like this who only want to rub it in. Obviously it's not "best drafted" if I'm 0-3. Obviously I was wrong. You don't need to tell me this.

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

You guys see Matthews got called for roughing the passer again...? What the heck is the NFL doing with this crap. Just make it so if you touch a qb they’re ruled as down. You cant even tackle them like a normal tackle... Its stupid.

Put flags on the quarterbacks. It's where we're heading anyways.

I understand in a lot of ways. I just saw you had a post asking what we do or something like that.
Sports is my outlet in a lot of ways too. Especially since I have kids and a wife and have to work a lot... Sports both makes my days way freaking worse sometimes and is great on other days.

You selected a very boom or bust type of team and unfortunately murphys law has been just beating it all over the place so far. If I was in your position id probably be frustrated too and in rebuild mode.

Ive heard that you make a ton of changes and trades and I saw your work in the nba gm thing Im sure you’ll have a very different roster next week.

 

[BonesJones]

I will trade Antonio Brown in the next week. Send me your best offers. I'm starting a bidding war for the best WR in football.

The thing is, I would've been fine with the bust being stuff that I risked. I feel like I'm getting absolutely screwed in terms of the way play calls are shaking out for everyone involved in my fantasy. That along with injuries have been extremely frustrating. My luck hasn't been based on the risks associated with certain players going into the draft, IMO. That's what's frustrating about it too.

I make a lot of trades. I'm definitely going to restructure.

Good thing is week to week in the NFL who knows, Haak had like 200 points last week and his like 80 something right now with only one guy left to play.

And next week he'll have 200 again because I play him haha.

 

[BonesJones]

Good thing is that I should be able to pick up Calvin Ridley after he went off today.

Antonio Brown
Davante Adams
Amari Cooper
Josh Gordon
Kenny Golladay
Alshon Jeffrey
Calvin Ridley

I think my best bet is trading my WRs at the top and hoping that 3 of the last 5 can find legitimate consistency.

 

[ripcityboy]

What the hell consitutes a roughing the passer penalty? What the hell iis the edge rusher supposed to do when he ends up in his lap..... give him a blowjob?

Well, thatd be some interesting tv...

The DT fucking pushed Prescott! Fucking pushed him!

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Starting to sound like the xxxfl lol

 

[hoopsjock]

@hoopsjock when we go head to head Kamara / Brees is going to give both of us some conflicted emotions lol

We play next week! You're lucky though because McCaffrey is on bye.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Just is seems like with those two ifnines playing well the others playing well.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

jeeze come on New England what the heck, at least stack up some fg’s...

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Why do they keep giving the ball to michel he’s averaging like .3 yards a carry. White is who needs the touches.

 

[trailblazer18]

Man, I have 13 points total between my kickers and Defense for all three weeks combined!!!! hahaha.

 

[BonesJones]

So it looks like we'll have seven 2-1 teams after this week. Either way I'll still be 1 or 2 games out of a playoff spot after next week. Not terrible

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

There we go get some more James white td’s!

 

[trailblazer18]

@BonesJones try not to make fantasy that big a part of your life and it won't make you lose your stuff. Although, it's entertaining reading for sure. We have all felt frustrated about fantasy at one point or another. If I wasn't busy with a family I might express myself the same way you do.

 

[SlyPokerCat]

Tom Brady looks like he may have finally fallen off that age-cliff.

They’ll look a lot better when Edelman and Gordon are out there.

 

[SlyPokerCat]

Probably. The lions were lit up by the jets and niners though. The fact that this defense has kept him in check is not good.

We have been waiting for the Brady cliff for years. I think it might finally be happening.

I thought Brees was gonna fall off the cliff this year but he has been a stud so far.

Brees has been my best player by so far its crazy.

 

[trailblazer18]

@TorturedBlazerFan is OBJ still available?

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

@TorturedBlazerFan is OBJ still available?

Yup.

 

[trailblazer18]

Yup.

Still thinking something like Rodgers and Sanders? or are you getting much better offers than that? FYI, I want to keep this on the main board to avoid what happened with the last trade..haha

I am having a hard time remembering if anyone has offered me anything for OBJ. They may have but Im drawing a blank.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Oh and I dont know how I feel about public negotiations but its probably better than what happened last week lol.
