Week 8 Discussion Thread

[DMT]

I'm 7-0 right now and am playing the team with Roethlisberger & Maclin. Luckily he sat Big Ben so I still have a chance to pull out the win (if I get 20pts from D. Murray tonight).

Good luck!

This week was probably the highest league-wide point total, yet I'm somehow sitting with 87 right now (Jones and Marshall have been terrible). Thankfully, my opponent is at 62 with only Garcon left. I have Reed so I'm fairly confident I'll eke it out to get to 6-2.

The Dolphins DST scored the 8th most points in our league this week. They had 32pts which was behind:

Roethlisberger: 46.88
Gronkowski: 39.4
Maclin: 37.8
Foster: 37.3
Brady: 36.16
E. Sanders: 35.1
A. Brown: 32.8

I started 0 of these guys in 3 leagues and unless Bailey gets 11 tonight, I will lose in all 3. I started Foster in both of my RJ leagues (PFP and Liz Hurley) and will win in both.

[Erik]

I need Dallas to lose, by getting shut down in the red zone.

That would:

Give me the 11 from Bailey that one of my teams needs to win.

Give Dallas the same number of losses as my Eagles.

Boot about 2/3 of those remaining from my big survivor pool. (I squeaked by with DET.)

In the RJ P2P league Griz and I are playing and will combine for over 300 points. He had Big Ben, Fitz and Gates and I had Gronk, ABrown, Bills Def and a solid contributions from a few other guys. I still have Dez left tonight so he will probably lose by 30.

[chancellor]

All I need is 600 yards passing and 7 TDs from Romo to lose by 10 points.

I hate Worthlessburger.

[Judge Jude]

Clueless Redskins have talent, as I have noted before. With Orakpo and DeAngelo Hall out for season and RG III missing half of it, though, they are best off rolling over in 2014 and landing in a good place with all their 2015 draft picks in place.

[Pogues]

Bad news for the Cowboys, but might be good news for the Eagles...Romo down to a back injury.

[Erik]

Redskins gonna Redskin. 3rd & 5 in FG range late in a tie game -> delay of game penalty -> sack -> 4th and no longer in FG range

[Pogues]

I haven't the words. Everyone...EVERYONE picked Dallas.

My son said Washington was going to win by 3. And he's like me...a hater of both teams.

[Erik]

If the Eagles only win one of those games, Carolina is more likely than Houston IMO.

[Erik]

I haven't the words. Everyone...EVERYONE picked Dallas.

My son said Washington was going to win by 3. And he's like me...a hater of both teams.

Including 2/3 of the people in my big survivor pool. Huzzah!
