Re: 2004 Season for Fantasy Football, FIRST Robotics league
 

Daunte Culpepper is now my number one enemy, not only in this league did he beat me, but in my two other leagues the two teams with him took the lead away from me. :mad:

LEAGUGE 1 WEEK VI ANALYSIS
 

Koko's X-Cats (3-2)vs.The Teal Curtain(5-0)
All of the X-Cats backs are hurting while the Teal Curtain have another find with Mewelde Moore . Both the X-Cats Pennington and the Teal Curtain's Brooks should do well though Pennington has more potential aginst the depleted (and demoralized) Niners defensive backfield.

Sparxs1126(3-2) vs.Sigmakittens (0-5)
The Kitties have been close but leaving a starting RB position blank. McGahee might not even start or play. Leftwich has been playing much better recently for the Kitties but6 he's no Donovan McNabb.

gaelforce126(1-4) vs.NU Cowboys (0-5)
This is the FF equivalent of this week's Bills/Dolphins game (you don't realize how painful it is for this Bills fan to say that). I'm beginning to think the Cowboys have been abandoned by thier owner as they have shown no responsible roster management in the past few weeks and I hope the league commisoner steps in and fixes the problem. gaelforce126 has not been much better but has been more competitive and should be back on the winning track this week.


boodah25 (4-1)vs.Paragon571 (3-2)
The red hot Paragon571 is looking to continue their hot streak against a very tough boodah25 team. Both teams feature shaky quarterbacks (Drew Bledsoe for boodah25 and Carson Palmer for Paragon571). boodah25 has better running back and that matchup is the key to them achieving victory. Paragon571's sleeper is the play of their defense as the sneaky Patriots defense specializes in getting points producing turnovers.

ValleyGirls(3-2) vs. Cooney Quest(0-5)
So which is worse? Using a kick returner for your only runningback or using barely used or barely producing running backs. The Valleygirls could probably get away with using poor runningbacks so long as Daunte Culpepper is around. The Quest is still looking for anything form anyone who is not a Green Bay Packer.

ryforstek525 (2-3) vsAmaizin' Blue (2-3)
Two teams meeting each other going in opposite directions. Amaizin' Blue has been getting it done in the past two weeks while ryforstek525 has been struggling recently. They certainly did no favors with starting QB Kurt Warner and starting WR Amani Toomer out on a bye. Thier best hope is the Philadelphia Eagles defense and Marshall Faulk. Brian Westbrook may be all Amazin' Blue need this week.


Pelan's Bobcats(2-3) vs.Epsilon Delta (3-2)
Epsilon Delta is rapidly fading out due to poor roster mangement and it really shows this week with not only the big blank in the other starting running back spot but also with four players on a bye. The Bobcats are still going with the benched and disgruntled Brad Johnson but they still have Shaun Alexnader and that may be enough.

Dunedain (5-0) vs.NorCal Crushers (4-1)
This looks like the game of the week. Dunedain is looking for big games from Terrell Owens, Antonio Gates and Duece McCallister. The Crushers look to counter with McNair, Ahamn Green (who may be the most dissapointing FF player this season) and a motivated Chad Johnson (who is making promises again this week). The sleeper matchup this week that may be the deciding factor is the two defenses.

League II Week VI Analysis
 

Koko's X-Cats (3-2) vs. Toronto Fumblers (1-4)
Toronto may be now called the fumblers but the X-Cats have the champion fumbler on their roster in Ahman Green who has been nothing short of an absolute dissapiontment this season and Arron Brooks is pretty good at putting the ball on the turf as well. Can rookie Ben Rothelberger keep up the good play for the Fumblers?

Rhode Island Charge (3-2) vs.This Space for Rent(0-5)
Is this the week the Renters break through? The Charge are missing a defense and though the Charge have the great Priest Holmes the Renters could win the matchup if Thomas Jones and Mewelde Moore perform.

South Fl Jets (3-2) vs. Hurricanes (1-3-1)
A couple of primo matchups at quarterback and running back as the Jets bring Matt Hasselback and LaDanian Thomlinson against Donovan McNabb and Shaun Alexander. The recivers may settle this with the boasting Chad Johnson garunteeing big things for the Jets against Eric Moulds and Issac Bruce for the Canes.

Dunedain (1-4) vs.Bonecrushers (4-1)
Dunedain is forced to settle for Jonathan Quinn against a resurgent Byron Leftwich.The hope for Dunedain is that Clinton Portis can start making plays. Can Roy Williams and Tony Gonzales outduel Terell Ownes and Laverneous Coles of the Bonecrushers.

Coco's Monkeys (3-2) vs.Cooney Quest (4-1)
Strangely the Packer relliance is working for them in this league. Probably because they are getting production from the non-Packers on the team. The Monkeys hope Vinny Testeverde can match Brett Farve. Corey Dillon may help the monkey's pull through.

The Lightning ( 3-2) vs. The Shoats (4-0-1)
The league leading Shoats are in trouble this week as Tiki Barber and Reggie Wayne are on a bye and they will have to depend on the Patriots defense and Jake Delohme. Marc Bulger and Rudi Johnson could make it easy for the Lightning this week if they perfom like they are supposed to.

The Borg (1-4) vs. Valleygirls (4-1)
The Valleygirls are without three players who are on a bye including the Baltimore Ravens defense. The Borg are without one player on a bye who was injured in the first place (Todd Heap) and a benched QB Brad Johnson. So who's here who can contribute? The Borg have Brain Westbrook and Marshall Faulk and the Valleygirls have Steve McNair.

JC's Juggernauts (2-3)vs.Stud Man Clan (2-3)
The Clan have the advantage at quarterback with Chad Pennington feeding on a depleted Niners secondary while Brain Griese still has to prove himself. The running back battle with the Juggernauts Reuben Droughns and Curtis Martin vs. the Clans Kevan Barlow and Chris Brown.

Nor Cal Crushers (2-3) vs.Philly Cheesesteaks (3-2)
The Cheesesteaks possess the amazing Daunte Culpepper. They also have Domanic Davis and Duce Staley who are in better shape than the Crushers RB combo of Travis Henry and Fred Taylor. The Crushers have the more productive recivers with Jimmy Smith and Darell Jackson over kick returner Michael Lewis and Doug Gabriel .

Re: LEAGUGE 1 WEEK VI ANALYSIS
 

I just filled that blank with A. Stecker, and Willis McGahee will be getting the start today.

Re: LEAGUGE 1 WEEK VI ANALYSIS
 

Not good for me with Travis Henry on one of my FF teams.

Week VI Post Game Analysis
 

Wow... Cooney broke 90. What I said last week about them is less true now. Review:

This Space for Rent (0-5) d. Rhode Island Charge (3-2)
77-45
“Is this the week the Renters break through? The Charge are missing a defense, and though the Charge have the great Priest Holmes, the Renters could win the matchup if Thomas Jones and Mewelde Moore perform.” Right on from the start. If Rhode Island was fully charged, they may have stood a chance. But TSfR’s aforementioned players, along with a 20 from Vick and an 18 from Buffalo, put this game out of reach for the Charge.

Toronto Fumblers (1-4) d. Koko's X-Cats (3-2)
65-56
If you look at each of the scoring categories, this game was pretty close. Their quarterbacks had 15 each. The running game was less spectacular, but ended with the Cats taking it 11-9. Then we switch things around to receiving, where Toronto won by 4. The X-Cats tried to make a last stand with its kicker, outscoring the opponent’s by 5, but it ended there, with the Fumbler’s defense scoring 24 (12 more than Koko). A surprising lack of fumbles stops Toronto’s landslide with a win.

South Fl Jets (3-2) d. Hurricanes (1-3-1)
50-29
How are the Jets winning four in a row? This game is a good example. Granted, the Hurricanes are low on the scoring list (Shaun Alexander was their only player to hit double digits for them this week), but the Jets still showed us how it's done. First off, Jerome Bettis keeps making touchdowns from the one yard line. Consistency. He gets supplemented by LaDanian Thomlinson. Add a 10 from one of his receivers. Then there’s the Jets defense (no, I mean it, they have the NY Jets as their defensive team), which on its good days, will provide the rest of what South Florida needs. That’s four straight for them.

Bonecrushers (4-1) d. Dunedain (1-4)
74-55
Believe it or not, the Bonecrushers were not at their top form. But not to worry, they had Byron Leftwich’s 27 and Philadelphia’s 21. Dunedain was at its top form too, with Tony Gonzalez and Derrick Brooks each nabbing 10. But when their quarterback scored -1, you knew it was over.

Cooney Quest (4-1) d. Coco's Monkeys (3-2)
93-56
Okay, I take back everything bad I ever said about Cooney Quest. “Strangely the Packer reliance is working for them in this league.” Um, YEAH! Let’s name them: Brett Favre (17), Donald Driver (17), and Green Bay (13). That’s 47 right there. Torry Holt added 18, and Adam Vinatieri tallied 13. Not much else happened, but really, how much more do you need? That’s five straight.

The Lightning (3-2) d. The Shoats (4-0-1)
41-25
Wow… you know, for two of the higher scoring teams in the league, this was a snooze-fest. High for The Shoats: New England with 10. Highs for The Lightning: Marc Bulger with 11 and Keyshawn Johnson with 9. Highs of this entire game: not much, really. Maybe the fact that The Shoats had two important players on byes. Nonetheless, we’ve lost our last undefeated team.


The Borg (1-4) d. Valleygirls (4-1)
43-13
I’ll go out in say it: the Valleygirls had a cataclysmic collapse due to 3 important players on byes. Meanwhile, The Borg weren’t much better (although how good do you have to be to beat 13), but they delivered when they needed to. In fact, their running game of 19 would’ve won on its own. The Valleygirls get assimilated for the first time since week one.

JC's Juggernauts (2-3) d. Stud Man Clan (2-3)
81-39
Just when you think the Juggernauts are on a freefall to the basement, they pull an 81 out of their bag. I’ll start with their running game worth 32. Brian Griese helped with a 14 on the scoreboard. Even their defense was solid, pitching in 27. All the Clan had was Randy Moss’s 10. The Juggernauts proved to be unstoppable this week.

Philly Cheesesteaks (3-2) d. Nor Cal Crushers (2-3)
71-51
“The Cheesesteaks possess the amazing Daunte Culpepper.” 33. That outscored the Crushers’ QB by 18. The kicker also had 14. While Nor Cal’s running game of 12 was drastically better than Philly’s, they couldn’t hold up anywhere else. This makes Philly 4-2.

The Teal Curtain(6-0) 272Koko's X-Cats (3-3)246
Brooks outdid Pennington 99-72 and the injury to Travis Henry evened up the matchup and the TEal Curtain's back outscored the X-Cat's backs 106-91.

Sigmakittens (1-5)261Sparxs1126(3-3) 221
McGahee might not even start or play.
He did and scored 58 points.
Leftwich has been playing much better recently for the Kitties but he's no Donovan McNabb.
But he still outscored Donovan 114-53.


gaelforce126(2-4) 286NU Cowboys (0-6) 144
The Cowboys only had four blanks in their team scoring this week which is an improvement for them. Matt Hasselback had 92, Clinton Protis had 80, the Jacksonville Jaguars defense scored 43, Brian Dawkins got 24, 16 for Tatum Bell, Adam Vinateri had 13 and Keyshawn Johnson scored 11 to give gaelforce126 the easy victory.


Paragon571 (4-2)324boodah25 (4-2)244
Carson Palmer outscorede Drew Bledsoe 75-58 for Paragon571. Paragon571's defense outscored boodah25's D 100-71. Paragon571's backs outran boodah25's backs 111-91.


Cooney Quest(1-5)239ValleyGirls(3-3) 212
So which is worse? Using a kick returner for your only runningback or using barely used or barely producing running backs.
Definately the barely productive back. Willaim Green scored 55 points. There was nothing for the Valleygirls running game.
The Valleygirls could probably get away with using poor runningbacks so long as Daunte Culpepper is around.
Culpepper scored 135 points. More than half of the Valleygirl's total. That's actually a bad thing.
The Quest is still looking for anything form anyone who is not a Green Bay Packer.
See the aformentioned Green . They also got 42 points from the Chocago Bears D and Drew Bennet had 11 points.

Amaizin' Blue (3-3)322 ryforstek525 (2-4) 128
Thier best hope is the Philadelphia Eagles defense and Marshall Faulk.
They scored 86 of ryforstek525's 128 points.
Brian Westbrook may be all Amazin' Blue need this week.
Actually Trent Green scoring 103 points was nearly enough to do the trick. Westbrook only had 36. Reuben Droughns scored 90.

Pelan's Bobcats(3-3) 201Epsilon Delta (3-3)199
Epsilon Delta is rapidly fading out due to poor roster mangement and it really shows this week with not only the big blank in the other starting running back spot but also with four players on a bye. The Bobcats are still going with the benched and disgruntled Brad Johnson but they still have Shaun Alexnader and that may be enough.
If Epsilon Delta took care of business they would have won easily because they had six blanks keeping them back. The Bobcat's only had two. Micheal Vick almost carried Epsilon Delta to victory along with LaDanain Thomlinson weho scored 55. Shaun Alexnader led a balanced attack 42 points, the Tampa Bay Bucs D got 40, Rudi Johnson got 34, 22 points from both Landon Johnson and TJ Duckett, and 16 points from Deltha O' Neal (apparently they don't penalize you for giving up 99 yard TD passes). Not spetacular but enough to squeeze out the win.

Dunedain (6-0) 292NorCal Crushers (4-2) 279
This was a battle to the finish but the most telling diffescence may be Dunedain's 17-8 advantage in the reciving game.

I think im gonna lose this week, all 3 of my RB's have byes, and theres no one worth picking up. :mad:

LEAGUGE 1 WEEK VII ANALYSIS
 

Koko's X-Cats (3-3)vsAmaizin' Blue (3-3) The running game is the main event of this matchup. If Amos Zeroue can perform for the X-Cats they could take this matchup. If not the talented stable of backs for the Amaizin' Blue can lead them to victory.

Sparxs1126(3-3) vs.ryforstek525 (2-4)
McNabb and Holmes will be looked to again to lead the Sparx back to the road to victory. ryforstek525 depends on Kurt Warner, MArshall Faulk and the Philadelphia Eagles defense to win.

gaelforce126(2-4) vs. Sigmakittens (1-5)
gaelforce126 is missing both Hines Ward and Clinton Portis who are on a bye this week opening up the possiblity of an easy victory for the sigmakittens even without Randy Moss.

boodah25 (4-2)vs.NU Cowboys (0-6)
Total role reversal here. The Cowboys nearly have all the bases covered (still using the benched AJ Feeley but who knows when the Dolphins will turn to him again). boodah25 is missing both running backs and Andre Johnson is on a bye. The Cowboys could break through this week.

ValleyGirls(3-3) vs. Paragon571 (4-2)
Paragon571 is red hot and so long as Manning and Barber are producing they are in real good shape. Daunte Culpepper is equally hot but the Valleygirls running backs are not up to par.

Pelan's Bobcats(3-3) vs.The Teal Curtain(6-0)
Curtis Martin could have a big day agianst the Patriots and continue the Teal Curtain's winning ways. The sleper isd Burelson. The Bobcats put thier hopes for victory on three backs TJ Duckett, Shaun Alexander and Rudi Johnson.

Dunedain (6-0) vs.Epsilon Delta (3-3)
Dunedain could be let sown by Marc Bulger who may not get his yards against the very tough Miami Dolphins pass defense but Sammy Morris could get him points in the same game for the Dolphins. Epsilon Delta still contines commiting the same sin by leaving the running back postion hobbled with one back but they have the spetacular LaDanian Thomlinson and Micheal Vick to hopefully lead them back to winning ways.

NorCal Crushers (4-2) vs.Cooney Quest(1-5)
Not sure how well William Green will do for the Quest this week but the Pack may score alot of points for the Quest against the Cowboys. The Crushers may get alot of points from Stephen Jackson who is the type of back who kills the Dolphins. Not to mention Ahman Green may do some damage against the 'Boys as well ironically damaging the Packer relaint Cooney Quest.

Re: League II Week VII Analysis
 

Koko's X-Cats (3-3) vs. Hurricanes (1-4-1)
The Canes need big things from Donovan McNabb to beat out the X-Cats because they can't realistically expect anything from Chris Perry. The X-Cats are hoping for good production from Amos Zeroue to win out.

Rhode Island Charge (3-3) vs.Coco's Monkeys (3-3)
Manning and Dillon lead the Monkeys against the Charge who look to Preist Holmes and Willis McGahee. BJ Sams for the Monkeys is an interesting slleper.

South Fl Jets (4-2) vs. This Space for Rent(1-5)
Micheal Vick could go to town for the Renters against the Chiefs D but is it enough to overcome Matt Hasselback and Priest Holmes? Thomas Jones and Mewelde Moore could help te Renters out. Will Chad Johnson bother to make plays instead of sending Pepto to opposing D's for the Jets?

Dunedain (1-5) vs Toronto Fumblers (2-4)
Going with the inneffective Jonothan Quinn is not exactly an inspiring thing for Dunedain but Sammy Morris could have nice production against the soft Rams underbelly. The Fumblers have no one player who really sticks out but good steady prodction from all of them could be enough to win.

The Lightning ( 4-2) vs.Cooney Quest (5-1)
The Quest have backups in at the running back position and the Lightning have Rudi Johnson and Edgerrin James on their side. Brett Farve to the rescue! The Lightning could be disaapionted by Marc Bulger's production this week.

The Borg (2-4) vs. The Shoats (4-1-1)
The Borg could be conceding victory by starting a benched Brad Johnson and the on vacation Plaxico Burress. Tiki Barber could do the damage the the Borgs hopes.

JC's Juggernauts (3-3) vs. Valleygirls (4-2)
The resurgent Kurt Warner and Curtis Martin and the surprising Reuben Droughns lead the Juggernauts. The Valleygirls are going with the struggling Joey Harrington. The Ravens D could be a significant contributor for them today.

Nor Cal Crushers (2-4) vs.Stud Man Clan (2-4)
Teh Clan have basically doomed themselves to defeat by leaving a roster spot blank and starting two players on a bye. Tent Green or Fred Taylor could lead the Crushers to victory.

Philly Cheesesteaks (4-2) vs. Bonecrushers (5-1)
The Bonecrushers are setting themselves up for a fall by missing a pair of players. The Cheesesteaks have Daunte Culpepper and you want a full roster when facing him.

Re: League II Week VII Analysis
 

I'm surprised you didn't point out my gamble replacing Brady with Drew Brees. I just don't like Brady's (or New England's for that matter) chances against the Jets. Plus, he hasn't thrown much the last two weeks. And hey, Drew Brees has the third highest QB rating in the league.

What I'm afraid of is that the Monkeys have had three tough losses (I mean really, who in their right mind would've predicted Conney scoring 93?). I'm sure this one will be close either way, and it may end on Monday.

Oh, and I'm personally proud of my Willis McGahee acquirance. :D

Re: League II Week VII Analysis
 

I don't think the Bills will have much running sucess against the Ravens at all.

Re: League II Week VII Analysis
 

This game should be close, presently Holmes has 4 touchdowns which is scaring the crap out of me. BJ Sams has had 2 punt return touchdowns and over 350 yards running in the past 3 games, this game he has a touchdown, so far, as well. I had a feeling he'd be a good bonus to my team. (That and I'm in Baltimore)

Brees isnt have too good of a day.

Re: League II Week VII Analysis
 

Last time I do that... had I just left well enough alone and kept Brady (and possibly Chambers, we'll see tonight) in, I'd be winning. That officially inhales audibly.

Re: League II Week VII Analysis
 

I love my two teams contrast, in The FIRST Robotics League Cooney Quest is 6-1 and all alone in first place, so ha to all you non believers in that league.

However, in FIRST Robotics Cooney Quest is 1-6 and sitting near the bottom, oh well...can't win them all :)
