All two of them, lol.

[The Eye in the Sky!]

Hey James, who would have thought I'd be the last one with you to be undefeated? :D

QB:
Tom Brady - NE

RB
LaDanian Tomlinson - SD
Marion Barber - Dallas

WR
Plaxico Burress - NYG (God... I hope he doesn't pull what he did two weeks ago)
Keyshawn Johnson - Carolina

TE
Antonio Gates - SD

DE
Richard Seymour - NE
Rod Coleman - Atlanta

LB
Brian Urlacher - Chicago
Tedy Bruschi - NE

Rodney Harrison - NE (I want to go with Ed Reed but I feel Culpepper is ripe for sacking)

K
Shayne Graham - Cinci

Utilities
O: Ben Watson - NE
D: Ty Warren - NE (Again, the Culpepper deal)

I'd like to not use a load of NE players... but I think that the Dolphins' offensive line and Culpeppers lack of mobility will help my defense.

[James89]

That's four Bills...and not so worthless. Angelo Crowell leads the team in tackles, but I chose not to play him this week because of public complaint. (Smashbro in particular)

Also, not being able to have a say in the draft doesn't help much. It's nobody's fault, it's just my excuse for doing so bad.

[smashbro14]

DL: Angelo Crowell (BUF) he's a linebacker, why is he here Smashbro?
I knew he was a linebacker when I edited the rosters, I just wasn't thinking. There are too many worthless Bills on your team :P. But yeah, you'll have to edit change your starting DL's, and LB's if you want to.

[Dr. Doom]

how does dre' bly get me negative points last week?

[smashbro14]

The Lions gave up over 30 points, so he got (-5) for that. He had 4 tackles, and 4 - 5 = -1.

[Dr. Doom]

The Lions gave up over 30 points, so he got (-5) for that. He had 4 tackles, and 4 - 5 = -1.

he was written as having -2 pts... he also had 27 return yards... do we count those?

[smashbro14]

... then he had 3 tackles. I just assumed it was (-1).

And no, we don't count return yards :rolleyes:. Look at the point chart.

Stop complaining. You won, and everybody has players who get them negative points. It's not uncommon.

[James89]

Im going with McNabb over Alex Smith. McNabb wants more than revenge against TO, he wants to finally get a win against an NFC East opponent. They have lost 7 straight to the NFC East.

[Dr. Doom]

... then he had 3 tackles. I just assumed it was (-1).

And no, we don't count return yards :rolleyes:. Look at the point chart.

Stop complaining. You won, and everybody has players who get them negative points. It's not uncommon.

im not compaining... now I'm going to play what if... what if he returns it for a td?

Actually, I was more unprepared for when the Chargers had their bye week. I have it set up so I can actually put together a pretty decent team without my Pats... as long as I can grab another linebacker.

[James89]

Yue, you forgot your defensive utility.

And Doom, if he returned it for a TD, you would add 6, so he would have 5.

XZ, you have about an hour left to get your line up in, otherwise, we will use your line up from last week.

[smashbro14]

Well Yue's defensive utility last week, Jermaine Philips, is in his starting lineup this week. I was going to make his defensive utility the highest drafted player that he played last week, but none of the three he started last week were drafted by him. I'll talk to James and we'll figure out what to do. It will either be DeMeco Ryans, Bryan Robinson, or Madieu Williams.


XZ's roster is officially the same as last week:

QB
Jake Delhomme - CAR

RB
Chester Taylor - MIN
Clinton Portis - WAS

WR
Chris Chambers - MIA
Keenan Mccardell - SDG

TE
Bubba Franks - GB

DL
Aaron Kampman - GB
Alex Brown - CHI

Jonathan Vilma - NYJ
Keith Bulluck - TEN

DB
Roy Williams - DAL
Brian Dawkins - PHI

Uhh..I couldn't get on earlier :D

[smashbro14]

I didn't see this before.
im not compaining... now I'm going to play what if... what if he returns it for a td?
Nope, we don't count kick/punt returns whatsoever.

XZ... you're too late.

[XZ]

I didn't see this before.

Nope, we don't count kick/punt returns whatsoever.

XZ... you're too late.
Meh..fine.
Its the same lineup,except two guys..lol.

[smashbro14]

I just noticed that Zackman only started one RB, so he starts Chris Brown by default.

[Scruffy]

I don't have anybody available for D utility and I didn't want to drop anybody on my team so... I go w/o this week.

What really made my day was when Colston did nothing and Moss caught a TD.

[smashbro14]

Hehe, Yue had 3 players who did nothing, two of which had a bye. And yeah, I didn't notice that all three of the cantidates that I mentioned earlier had byes.

Hehe, Ryan Longwell.

Okay... XZ we are counting the roster you posted because every player that would have been different wasn't playing at the time.

I'm going to be 1-4 :(.

[Dr. Doom]

Hehe, Ryan Longwell

psh, it's not like he missed it.. so I'm not mad at him.. but seeing as you count blocked kicks as 'misses'....

[smashbro14]

Wow... Al Wilson scored 30 points last night.

For my people, this was an extremely low scoring week. Tom, of all people, led my 6 with 150 points, and only 7 players broke 20 points.

Dr. Doom - 135 (Hehe, Ryan Longwell again)
The Eye in the Sky! - 150 (Ew)
Big Da- d'oh! - 149 (1 less than Tom!)
smashbro14 - 137 (My defense blows)
Zackman - 103 (Hehe, Bills)
Yue - 125 (95 without Al Wilson :P)

[James89]

I couldnt get on the ocmputer last night. Ill do everyone's points tonight and post them when I am done.

EDIT: I CAN EDIT! Anyways, here is the final socres from week 5.

James89- 172
Gabby- 102
XZ- 136
Pontus- 134
Velo- 127
Feeakish- 166

The Purple $corpions- 103 vs. Hot Dice- 125

Week 6 thread will be up shortly.

[XZ]

Holy ****.
How the hell did I beat Velocity? I thought he owned me in it..

[The Eye in the Sky!]

Oh, I guess it was Gabby Jay I was playing... 5-0!

James is like the Rams of 2001. High flying and destructive.
I'm like the Giants of 2000... just squeaking by!

[Velocity]

While we're making team analogies, what's a team that couldn't win a shootout and couldn't win a close game? While having some of the best players in the league?

[Gabby Jay]

Man I'm like this years Raiders/Titans....sucking major ass....I'm going to have to make some massive moves to get back.

[smashbro14]

I'm like last year's Bengals, without the wins. I have a good offense, but no defense.

[XZ]

I'm the opposite...great defense, bad offense. (Well..not bad.)
The Bears!!...without the wins.

[Scruffy]

I won this week?! Let's get Al Wilson to run for president.

Big Ben can go dumpster diving somewhere...

[Zackman]

According to this, London Fletcher made 13 tackles this Sunday. So that makes 18 points (1 point per tackle; +5 per 10 tackles) Then his final score should be 13 points. (involved in a game allowing more than 30 points) I know it won't change my standing, but I feel London Fletcher deserves his points. Smashbro...

[smashbro14]

This is the source that James and I use. (http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/gamebook/NFL_20061008_BUF@CHI)

It says that he had 9 tackles, and as you know, he got -5 for the 30 point game. The Bills website might have given him tackles that NFL.com didn't, but we will always go with NFL.com so that everybody has the same reference. Obviously, the tackler on a play isn't always clear. For example, a couple weeks ago, Gamecenter said that Leonard Little, my DL, had a sack, but the gamebook said he didn't, so I went with the gamebook. Sorry.

[James89]

Velo, that sound like the Lions of this year. They lose 9-6 in the opener, and they lost 41-38 or something like that 2 weeks ago. Im not sure if smash posted the Week 6 thread yet. If he didnt, it will be up in a few minutes.

And I never thought I would be 5-0.
