Week 7, Preview

[Baldric]

Yep. And speaking of upsets, Washington is beating Indy right now too. Sorry about that Jose. Who's house? My house!

[Baldric]

And how about that Joey Harrington? 414 yards passing for Miami! Ron's going to beat Jon on that alone.

[SlaycitySlayers]

Well I feel bad for whichever of you two wins the battle of who actually has ARI for TS.

Oaktown in da house!

From the Inky: Philadelphia (4-3) outgained Tampa Bay (2-4) by a staggering 506 yards to 196, but lost.

Remarkably, all three Eagles losses this season have been decided on the last play of the game.

"Four turnovers is too many turnovers against a good football team," Eagles coach Andy Reid said. "We've got to do a better job on that."

The Eagles are fired.

> Oops! Both Jose and I have Arizona for TS. According to the draft post, we both own them.

Grr. I wrote down the wrong team. The draft board master copy is back at my apartment, so I'll post the correct team tomorrow (or I'll text it to you sometime tonight, Darren).

> The Eagles are fired.

The total yardage helps Jose tremendously -- but the Eagles tend to rack up huge numbers when they're *losing*, which winds up killing you, Jon. That Philadelphia team has got to be the death of you.

(Me too, for that matter. Had I known that Tampa Bay would actually hold them to 21 points, I'd have started the Bucs. Instead, I got spooked and started Atlanta. And we can all see how that turned out.

And now, I'm going to the bar.)

[jz06]

But here's the thing, Mike. If I played the Cowboys and Giants today, then I suffer the same fate Megan did this week.

I basically cancel myself out. The Cowboys will probably score 21 points tonight, which means I was screwed either way this week. Any combination of the three teams, and I was screwed. I counted on the Bucs to be pacifists. I counted wrong.

So I had a dream last night that we all got together on a farm in Maryland to celebrate the fantasy football season, and I spent 25 minutes looking for Ron to scream at him to change his damn lineup or post something, anything, on the hostboard.

Ah, good point, Jon. You could've started Philly's TS and NYG's TD, but Tampa Bay's ineptitude was probably hard to pass up.

I'll tell Ron you said hi. [img]wink.gif[/img]

The Rabbit Brain to win it all!

Darren and Jose:

Yup, both of you can't possibly have Arizona's total scores; I miswrote the rosters weeks ago.

Jose, for the record, you've got the Carolina Panthers and the Cardinals for your total score. Darren, you've got the Seahawks and the Bucs for your total score.

(Darren, I also changed your stats from week 5, when you ran around with the Cardinals' TS. The difference was exactly one point.)

Everyone else: the updated rosters, including everyone's waiver wire players, are also posted in "The Draft Board, Redux." Sorry for the confusion. This is perhaps what happens when you do this draft stuff at one in the morning.
