@BonesJones has two amazing WR's now.

I went back and forth so many times about which trade to take. That Rodgers / Brees qb tandem sounded fantastic. It kind of came down to I don't want people to think we're cheating lol, and if Ingram rounds into form he'll be good. Adams and OBJ have been pretty comparable this year.

...need more than two amazing WR's to get wins in this league though

 

[BonesJones]

I was thinking Miami. If Jacksonville, would they ship Fournette to Pitt?

That actually makes a lot of sense.

Of course, that's why I'm not done making moves.

If Ingram is part of the offense!

This is a good point and they used him last year with similar weapons so I expect him to get touches when his suspension is over.

 

[BonesJones]

He was 6th best in a similar situation last year. Even if he's 20th for the rest of the season, that's still a starting RB.

I know, I'm mostly messin' with him. However the Saints were super unhappy with him getting suspeneded so who knows what will happen.

It makes sense both ways. I'm working on improving my RBs with other people currently. I like having a few guys with upside battling it out for my 3rd WR (Gordon, Golladay, Ridley, Cooper, Jeffrey). Obviously I'm looking to trade one or two of those guys for a RB but I love my WRs. Just need to shore up everything else.

You don't have to explain yourself.

 

[BonesJones]

You don't have to explain yourself.

I don't care.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

I don't care.

 

[BonesJones]

Just a statement of fact.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

I need to put this gif on the wall of my middle childs room...

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Damn! You buttheads swiped Flaco and Mayfield. I was hoping to get 1 of them via a waiver claim.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Why...

Because ties are stupid. This isnt soccer.

I was surprised I got mayfield. Didnt think he’d make it to me but thank you guys. lol

There's ties in The NFL, too. Using an arbitrary section of points makes no sense. Why not use non-QB points?

Y'all argued FOR ties in the 1st season of the league.

Yeah, and its stupid in the NFL also. They should go with the college overtime rules and play until someone wins.
Isn't non-QB points just as "arbitrary"? QB points or non-QB points - doesnt matter - either option is better than a tie. I think QB points would be best since this is a two QB league making that position the most important.

That's exactly my point. Anything you choose is arbitrary.

Y'all said y'all wanted ties in year 1. That's what I'm operating off of. They tied. Why is a tie "stupid" when they tied...?

Because a tie is a waste of y'all's time. Why play if there isn't a winner or a loser? That's the essence of sports.
Change it for next year or else I will karate chop you in the nuts.

I disagree. If you play the game and end up at the same score than neither team proved themselves to be better. The draw is deserved.

edit: for the record I’ll play no matter what decisions you guys make in regards to Ties.
I understand they can be frustrating. I just dont like how they play the game under a certain set of rules, dont differentiate themselves on the scoreboard then determine the winner based off different rules. Its entertaining sure, but overall Id rather games are decided based on the regular rules of the sport not on a completely different set of rules in over time.

One conceivable tie-breaker (if people actually wanted one, which doesn't really seem like the case) could be "fewest points left on the bench"--that way it's a reflection of a person's skill (luck) in choosing their starters for that week.

I edited my above post. I could deal with any rule set as long as its fair for everyone. I dont think there is a solution out there that I would “love”.
Thats the thing about playing 48 or 60 minutes and arriving at the same score though, both sodes will be frustrated.

I like the idea, but that probably wouldn't work because of bye weeks.

 

[Haakzilla]

...fractional point scoring usually solves all potential ties -- that's the best way IMHO

 

[Haakzilla]

I was surprised I got mayfield. Didnt think he’d make it to me but thank you guys. lol

...don't worry, Baker Bust Boy will be back on the waiver in a few weeks

 

[Haakzilla]

@BoBoBREWSKI what was that glorious PuPu Platter you sent my why?!

Oh, you guys only use whole number points??

Wow...
