Eff you Peyton and Reggie
Seriously, Manning? You could have thrown that final second TD to ANYONE, but you had to throw it to my fantasy oponent's WR. In the final seconds, I lose! I had my matchup on LOCKDOWN, with a 25 point lead going into the game. How do I manage to lose a matchup when my RB alone scored 41 points??? HOW? I hate you Peyton Manning.
I bet this is how Tom Brady feels today
If I had played Maclin instead of Wallace I would have won.
Re: Eff you Peyton and Reggie
do not get me started on fantasy.
bad, bad week.
I had the same issue with Brady and Moss (I had Brady, my opponent had Moss). Plus, I decided to sit Jones-Drew over Benson. Not on did Jones-Drew have a fab day, but Benson got hurt after getting me 2 points. Fun times.
I had four players get over 20 points (Manning, Moss, Bush & A. Peterson). The rest of my team stunk it up this weekend. I did pull out a win in my match up and am still number 1 in my league.
I closed my eyes during the 3rd quarter last night to try and get some sleep. DH woke me up doing something and then I reminded him that his cookies were left out so he walked downstairs to put them in a container. During that time the Colts scored and immediately afterwards Bill blew the call. DH was not happy. He is a NE fan. I love Peyton so secretly I was cheering on the Colts.
What a game!
I don't do fantasy, but I was hoping that the Colts would have lost. My Jags need all the help that they can get.
IrishBride- Magic 8 ball says don't sit MJD next week, he will have a great day against the Bills next week. If he doesn't, I will throw the Magic 8 ball on the floor.
Yeah, I started out so well. My opponent (also my FI) started Benson. He was already upset that I had"beat him" when Chris Johnson scored 41 points...
I changed my lineup 15 minutes before kickoff, putting Maclin in my flex instead of Wallace. Then FI said something that made me change him back. Ugh so stupid! Why did I listen to him? I would have won if I put Carnell Williams in my flex too, but noooo.. I never listen to my gut feelings, and instead follow the "expert" rankings and analysis.
I am also pissed that my FI got the yards from AP's fumble. He fumbled the ball, how do you still credit him with yards for that? BS. I was already in a biitchy mood over "real" problems, but FF is just the cherry on top of of my crappy weekend.
Ok, I came into this post thinking it was a "Screw you I can't believe you beat us!" post from a Patriots fan, LOL!
Ditto! Drafting MJD with the 5th pick was my best fantasy managerial decision ever, if I do say so myself.

I WAS SO EXCITED!!
but sorry about your fantasy team!
* BoutTime does cartwheels because the Colts WON! WOOO!!
Somehow the football gods were smiling down on me this week.
I am Colts fan, but Brady is my fantasy QB. I wanted him to get a lot of points, but for the Colts to win. Luckily, it worked out that way for me.
And I almost woke up my 3 year old last night screaming my head off at the end of the game. It was fantastic.
You have a heck of a team!!!!
I was set to draft him in the 2nd round and he was already gone. I was so bummed!
I wish I could tell you all why I decided to sit MJD, but I can't. I swear it made sense to me at the time.
I'm lucky in that I have 3 fabulous RBs and they are usually interchangable in terms of points.(Benson, MJD, Rice) not this week though.
Bad, Bad choice.
