    Sorry I've been absent. Went to Michigan and had no computer and when I got back I got food poisoning so yea, I've been out of commission.

    I'm still not sure what's going on with my fantasy team. I just move players if I feel I need to and hope for the best. I do know that I have Moreno and he had a great day today so that makes me happy.

    You really want to watch for players with bye weeks or injuries. ESPN provides projections that you can use to gage who you want to start but be warned because they can sometimes be way off. Also, if you have someone you really don't like or that is out with an injury, you can drop them and add another player. Of course, I have been doing all of this and I am still 1-2.

    All right, I'll mark week 6 as a tie. Hopefully we will both have worked our way back to 3-2 by then, right?

    Candy, if you are Team Mitton, you have 2 players on bye this week. You need to pick up a DST to sub for the Panthers and I think its M Turner for Atlanta that also needs a sub.

    I still hope to win big but, fairly, Mi' Lady

    Good Luck!!

    I noticed a couple teams not keeping up with the byes. I can only alter lineups if you have people available, and they don't have anyone available, so I have to let the bye players stay and score 0. Sadly, this league only has 4 or 5 of us that are keeping up on it.

    ok, i have an issue with the way espn calculates the scoring for defenses.

    let me note two things from the start...

    a. i know this is not anything SpaceMaN can address as the flaw is part of the ESPN calculations, not anything in our settings.


    2. it doesn't really affect the result of my game this week, though in a tight game it surely could.

    i'm really just pointing it out because i observed it today and thought i'd share to see what the rest of you think.

    so here's the issue...

    i started the jets defense today. while the final score was 24-10, 14 of the saints' points came from their defense on a pick-six and a fumble recovery for touchdowns. only one touchdown and one field goal were scored against the jets defense and yet, the scoring calculated it as 24 points allowed. i think that's inaccurate and not altogether fair. it should be 10 points allowed, or perhaps 12, counting the two extra points against the jets special teams, but not 24.

    like i said, it won't affect the outcome of the game, but if it did, i'd be rather pissed off at ESPN for not working that tidbit out in their programming. it's surprising really. i am amazed by how detailed their programming is at breaking these things down. if their system knows it was the saints defense that scored, surely it should know the jets defense was not on the field at the time.

    thoughts?

    Well, on the flip side of that, it sucks that Chicago's defense got credit for my receiver's 103-yard kickoff return for a TD. It guess it doesn't matter because I would still be getting my ass kicked. My top players keep screwing me at the wrong times. I am looking at you Brees and Jennings. That and the Titan's defense sucks. Maybe an overreaction but consider them dropped.

    I know what you guys mean (I have J. Knox in another league) but DST is just a catch-all for all the "what-if's" inherent in football. Still, like you say PA is a big NFL category and you would think they would accomodate that. Some I believe is in league settings cause in one league I got credit for the 102 yd run and I had the SF DST.

    Go figure LOL LOL

    Ya know, it used to be that int or fumble returns didn't count against your defense, (the pat's did though) but for all intensive purposes of the league, it doesn't matter who scored or how, it goes against your defense. Stupid, I know, but that's how it is, and I have no power to fix that. All I can say is don't start a defense against someone who's going to put up a lot of points, offensively or defensively. As a team or two in our league is ignoring byes and basically not playing, just keep setting your lineups and those who don't will not make the playoffs, so we can at least have a sort-of correct champion.

    Yeah right. I have been making adjustments and scoring less each week. It doesn't matter if some people drop all of their players, at this point I would probably still find a way to lose to them. That is alright though. The ship might be sinking but I will go down with it. I don't want to quit like whoever you are referring to.

    The team I'm playing, Team Garcia, is playing Matt Ryan and David Akers (on bye) and Jamaal Charles, (a Chiefs backup running back, no reason to play him), with Favre on the bench. No backup running back, but if they were paying attention they could've gotten someone to fill in on the waivers.

    The team my brother is playing, Team Gooch, has Jason Elam playing (on bye). I can see maybe not picking up a kicker and trying to win with a zero, but it's rare. Not a close enough game where a kicker's 5 or 10 points would have won it, but still.

    In Merlin vs. Mitton, Team Mitton has Michael Turner and the Panthers defense playing (on bye). The Panthers D is a questionable roster selection anyway, and again, options on the bench that would have gotten more than zero, just not keeping up with it.

    The other 2 games look well coached, and Equus Asinus looks like a damn good team.

    on the plus side, i've pulled to 2-2 and second place in the division

    on the other hand, next week i believe i play SpaceMaN's undefeated team that scored how many points was it yesterday, 8000 or something.

    Whatever the situation, I'm in it for the long hall all you die-hard fans out there. For better or worse.

    One of these days I'll get my team retooled into something good.

    2 questions:

    1. where can I find a page explaining the scoring system?
    2. How exactly do waivers work, and is there a page I can keep track of them? People claim guys I'm trying to get, no worries there, but I can't figure out how to claim a player that someone else is trying to get.

    Everyone gets a waiver ranking depending on amount of moves etc. If you rank 10 and someone goes for same player and ranks 9, he gets it.
