Definite uphill battle. He's far and away the best team out there and he has great matchups across the board. I do not.

Bottom line is I started a Ju (JuJu Smith-Schuster) over a Cheese Dick (CeeDee Lamb) and it cost me a spot in the SUPPA BO.

[NewtonHawk11]

Coulda woulda shoulda outta here. You can't look back and worry about that stuff. Or else I would have played Tannehill (which I almost did) and would have gotten 3 more points and played Edmonds at RB instead of Mostert. Like it's dumb.

Shit happens.

Oh, I agree 100%.
I am sure there are plenty of weeks I can go back and say if I had started _______ instead of _________
I would have LOST and not won.
I'm just going through a "Murphy's Law" streak with a lot of things right now so I am not that surprised the Steelers offense and defense blew last night - being that it's pretty much in tune with everything else.

[NewtonHawk11]

What's the rules on losers of semis doing waiver pickups?

Gutter freaking picked up Bell and I wanted him

[Deleted User 289]

I did pick him up to start him. I could be a nice guy and release him so you could get him but it wouldn't be too cool of me in regards to possibly screwing over Vega by doing it - and I don't want to be accused of collusion. Besides, your RB are projected to score more points than him.

[NewtonHawk11]

I mean, I think it falls under the don’t make pickups if you don’t make playoffs but you do you. I settled for Fournette instead. Maybe he’ll have a good day.

[Deleted User 289]

I am now going up against Illini and I'll take some pride (extremely minimal) in winning the Bronze medal if I do as such.
I simply made two "legal" moves to hopefully help me get a W.
I sincerely hope for your sake when all is said and done, it will be water under the bridge and Bell wouldn't have made the difference between your winning and losing.

[TDub]

The rule is/should be that you play to win, even if its not the championship.

[NewtonHawk11]

Fair enough

[pdub]

My opinion is if you're in the top half of the playoffs, it's fair game. Third is something. If you're in the consolation making claims, fuck off.

[NewtonHawk11]

Off to a hot start. Thielen couldn’t have done much better for me to start.

[pdub]

I went against Thielen, which is not great.
But this guy beat the dude with Kamara in the semi by only a few points so there's some silver lining.

[Deleted User 289]

Well, I'm done. Illini had Kamara.
Now I am going to feel really bad if my getting (and starting) Bell ends up screwing Newton.

[Sparko]

How good were the Chiefs last week to beat down their running game? The Vikings want the Bears to succeed.

[NewtonHawk11]

The NewtonHawk run has likely come to a halt. Have to outscore Vega by 15. I have 2 guys (Cole Beasley and Mason Crosby) he has 1 (Derrick Henry)

Defense was the big deciding factor. I picked up Houston’s defense. -4 points. He had Cleveland who had 6. 10 point swing and with me projected to lose by 14, it’s a wrap folks.

[TDub]

Henry didn't have a monster game. You got a chance

[pdub]

Crosby had a bad game.
Don’t play kickers in the snow.
I’m guessing Newton needs just under 25 from Beasley.

[NewtonHawk11]

I need 20 from Beasley to win. Beasley was a last minute pickup once Keenan Allen was out yesterday an hour before the game. I had Cooks on my bench and would have played him instead.

[pdub]

6 catches, 80 yards and a TD is not out of the question.
