2006 FIRST Fantasy Football

[xzvrw2]

When I seen that trade request I just laughed. I had to vote against it. It is just bad.

And you do know how laughably bad the Cleveland Browns are, right?

Let's put it this way. Even with Dilfer passing all night long, every game, because he has to get his team out of a hole, he probably won't score half as many points as McNabb does over the season.

There is NO possibility whatsoever that he will score more points than McNabb, barring a season ending injury.

[Matt_Kaplan1902]

The Pennington for Alexander trade actually is that moronic at all. You can't base Chad on one bad game (his first since major shoulder surgery), I believe they will have a close amount of points by the end of the year.

However, Donovan McNabb for Trent Dilfer has to be one of the worst trades I have actually seen accepted in my 5 years of any fantasy sport. You want to trade the reining NFC champion QB for a guy who's team is on the clock for the first pick in the draft. I'm not trying to sound like a jerk, but there is no way that trade should be accepted.

[Jones571]

Alexander's fantasy value is far, far greater than Pennington's. QB's naturally score more points, but there's more quality QB's available, so the points scored by the top RB's are much more valuable. Alexander is the second best RB in the league. Pennington isn't even a second tier fantasy QB. I wouldn't take him as my backup.

Last year (Yeah, Pennington was injured,but he put up numbers comparable to his career averages) Pennington was the 21st best fantasy QB. Guys like Brian Griese scored more points than him (didn't play a whole season either), Joey Harrington, David Carr, etc.

Shaun Alexander was the #2 RB, with only 3 points less than Tiki Barber.

Which one is more valuable?

Ok, so I reversed who was getting who.

Either way, it's still the worst trade in the history of fantasy football

[EddieMcD]

Ugh, Santana Moss scores 19 from my bench… Anyhow:

Rhode Island Voltaic (1-0) d. Koko's X-Cats (1-0)
49-41
It was a battle of dreadnoughts… firing blanks at each other. Note the two zeros put up by Rhode Island’s Peyton Manning and Reggie Wayne of all people. The Cats got nothing out of their kicker and TE, while their best offensive score was LaMont Jordan’s 9. On the flip side of things, John Kasay managed to plop up an impressive 13, and Dante Hall came through with 8 (sorry, had to stick that one to Ed ). Rhode Island fired an actual shell in the midst of the battle, sinking the X-Cats to .500.

Nor Cal Crushers (0-1) d. west coast style (1-0)
75-52
“The Crushers are strong at running back with LaDamian Thomlinson and Brian Westbrook…” Combined total of 25 right there. Terrell Owens pulled the top score of 19 for WCS in an attempt to route the Crushers, but beyond Terrence McGee’s 12, they wouldn’t get much else. Chicago’s 20 for Nor Cal finished the job.

The Tacoites (0-1) d. Dunedain (0-1)
46-43
This is also another game that probably should’ve been higher scoring. Defenses were even. Dunedain was able to take the running game 20-2, while The Tacoites took receiving 15-7. The difference: QBs. Either Brady’s 3 won it for the Tacoites, or Brees suprising -3 lost it for Dunedain.

FIRSTforce (1-0) d. Stevies Scapegoats (0-1)
48-41
“Stevies Scapegoats are hoping for a better game out of Daunte Culpepper this week than the rookie like disaster he laid out in the dome last week.” Well, he scored 13 points more… which is still an unimpressive 4. Nonetheless, they started out decently enough with a Wille Parker 11 and a Roy Williams 10. But with a low scoring defense, the Scapegoats couldn’t defeat the Force, who led with a defensive 23. Their other source of points was Neil Rackers’s 12, which boosted them to victory.


Team THRUST (1-0) d. QC Elite (0-1)
68-23
Talk about dominating. I’ll give the Elite credit for their Giants taking 19. Great supplementary scoring for any team… except when it’s your only score. I’ll avoid adding insult to injury, and just point out that Stephen Davis’s 21 looked great in the Thrust’s scoring column this week.

Cooney Quest(1-0) d. Pelan's Bobcats(0-1)
50-35
Here we have the battle of defenses that couldn’t score to save their team’s lives. Shaun Alexander led the still less than full power Bobcats with 13. But again, they were at less than full power. Cooney’s offense, on the other hand, came through big. Favre did way better than last week with a 13. Muhammad and Coles combined for 19. And everyone on the offense scored at least 3. A win who’s only imperfection was (lack of) defensive scoring.

IwillCrushYou (1-0) d. hurricanes (0-1)
48-44
You know, for a hurt guy, McNabb’s 22 is looking pretty good. Sadly, the rest of the Cane’s offense did next to nothing. Beyond Matt Hasselbeck’s 12, IWCY didn’t have any single impressive scores on offense, but their entire offense worked its tail off to compensate for the utter lack of defense. This is the second very close loss in a row for the Hurricanes.

Your Ad Here (1-0) d. sigmakittens (0-1)
73-53
If the first match was dread-not versus dread-not (like my pun?), this was pure battleship on battleship action. The Kittens fired first with 32 coming from Glenn, Horn, and Holmes. YAH countered with a barrage of 41 from Ward, Graham, and Randy Moss. Okay, there was some gun damage when it came to both defenses, but neither were terrible. The Kittens’ took a nasty blow in the QB spot though, with a surprising nill from Delhomme. YAH won the scoring battle, putting them in first place.

Fiesty Klowns (0-1) d. Coco's Monkeys (1-0)
58-30
“The Klowns could see better fortune ahead with a stronger quarterback (Carson Palmer over Joey Harrington)…” Exactly what happened, with Palmer outscoring Harrington 15 to -3. The rest of the scores on offense looked the same. “The Monkeys are stronger on defense because the Klowns have a pair of inactive players on their defensive roster.” Again, true, but Cincinnati offset this for the Klowns by scoring 19. With the Klowns outright exploiting their advantages, while mostly nullifying their disadvantages, the Monkeys didn’t stand a chance.

Akshar Did It (1-0) d. Jc's Evil Empire (0-1)
52-37
ADI had a much better game this week. The defense led them with 24, and Brunell’s 11 only exacerbated the Empire’s downfall. Their offense didn’t do much beyond Steven Jackson’s 10. An only decent defensive showing kept them in the hole and winless.

WEEK 2 SCEDULE

Koko's X-Cats(2-0)94.13 Mechanicatz(1-1)93.84
The X-Cats thought they were crusing on easy street jumping out to a big lead early then having to sweat out the last drive on Monday night as Drew Bledsoe regressed to his 2004 form and threw a 3 yard pass on 4th and 4 thus peserving the X-Cat's victory. The X-Cats were led the the Philadelphia Eagles defense who scored 22 points , Marc Bulger who scored 20.20 point sna Derrick Mason who scored 14 points. The Mechanicatz were led by Drew Bledsoe's 25.53 points, Randy Moss' 16.97 points, Cadillac William's 14.53 points and Torry Holt's 12.67 but played KRis Jenkins whi was on IR and an innefective Sam Cowart.

Jc's Evil Empire(2-0)129.03 Tomahawks(1-1)96.60
That makes the Evil Empire very tough but they can't expect Ben Roethlisberger to match Manning. If the backs play like they're supposed to he won't have to.
How very wrong I was. Big Ben slammed Peyton to the turf 27.47 to 8.57 and the rout was on! Thomlinson and Westbrook crushed the Tomahawks twosome of Tatum Bell and Brandon Jacobs 30.97 to 6.33 (all Jacobs). Terrell Owens added 24.03 points. The Indianapolis Colts defense led the way for the Tomahawks with 25 points followed by 14.40 points by Mushin Muhammad and 10 points from Jake Reed.

Nor Cal Crushers(1-1) 151.93 wst Coast Style(0-2)89.23
wst Coast Style is rolling the dice going with the Dolphin's Gus Freotte. The Crusher's Jake Plummer must take advantage! Also wst Coast style should expect little or nothing from Jerome Bettis so unless Fast Willie Parker has another huge game he'll be hard pressed to outmuscle Lamont Jordan and Larry Johnson.Well i n typical Jake Plummer fashion he played down to the competiton and was actually outscored by Freotte. But Parker was overmatched against Jordon and Shaun ALexnader who outscored him 32.40 to 13.40. The Evil Empire got 29 points from the Pittsburgh Steelers defense, 19.03 points from Joe Horn and 15.13 points from Randy McMicheal. wst Coast Style got 15.50 points from Troy Polomeanu, 15.40 from Donte Stallwoth and 11 points from Kieth Bullock but the -2 points from the Minnesota Viking defense absolutely killed them.

Cooney Quest(1-1)80.59
sigmakittens(0-2) 68.89
The Kitties are going to continue to rely on KC's one two punch of Trent Green and Priest Holmes but could really use some prodection from Micheal Bennet and Andre Johnson to get going. The Quest probably can't rely on Joey HArrington so they need a big game from Ahman Green.
The kitties got 30.53 points from Green and Holmes but outside of the 13 points from the San Deigo Chargers defense they got almost nothing from the rest of the roster. Harrington didin't light the world on fire but he contributed 11.63 points that went nicely with Braylon Edwards 14.63 points and the New England Patriots defense 11.5 points. Look no further than the 34 to 17.5 advantage on defense to why Cooney Quest won.

Cromer Angry Smash!(2-0) 152.93 Beckham Pwns All(1-1)88.62
Beckham may Pwn All but Farve Pwns Beckham Pwns All crushing Drew Brees 42.67 to 10.33. Thier recievers outscored Beckham's recivers 53.23 to 17.23. Just ugly. Cromer's ANgry Smash! got 25 points from the NEw York Giants defense and 13.13 points from Edgerrin James. Beckham Pwns All got 18.43 points from Tiki Barber, 14.50 points from Shane Graham and 14.13 points from Domanick Davis.

Tolman(1-1) 111.06Dogs in the Bathtub(0-1) 100.11
Matt Hasselback outscored Micheal Vick for Tolman 31.97 to 18.47 to provid the margin of victory for them. The Cincinatti Bengals defense added 22 points and Terry Glenn added 19.47 points for Tolman. T.J. Houshmandzadeh scored 19.77 points, Lawrence Tynes added 13 points, Mike Vrabel contributed 11.50 and Jerramy Stevens put in 10.77 for the Dogs in the Bathtub.

Stevies Scapegoats(1-1)87.04 Pelan's Bobcats(1-1) 76.80
Jake Delhomme was disappointing last week putting up only 8.5 points to Tom Brady's 23.50 but Stevies Scapegoats were saved by thier defense who put up 39 points to the Bobcat's 12 points due to two goose eggs due to a blank roster spot and an inactive player.Chad Johnson contributed 18.77 points for the Scapegoats while Roy Williams scored 14.90 points for the Bobcats.

WBI-461(2-0) 104.54 Fiesty Clowns(0-2)86.43
Steve Jackson and Duece McALlister outsocred Kevin Jones and Chris Perry 23.34 to 9.66 to provide the difference in a tight matchup. Kerry Collins added 24.93 points, Anquan Boldin put in 11.93 points and both Jay Feeley and Antonio Pierce scored 10 points a piece for WBI-461. The Fiesty Clowns were led by Daunte Culpepper who scored 18.03 points, DOnald Driver who scored 16 points and the NEw York Giants defense who added 12.

WEEK 3 SCEDULE

Koko's X-Cats(2-0) vs. WBI-461(2-0)
The X-Cats best opportunity may lie in exploiting the Marc Bulger/ Kerry Collins matchup as Bulger is going against the rebuilding Titans at home while Collins could be running for his life all day against the vicious Eagles defense. This could be a double bonus for the X-Cats as they have the Phiadelphia Eagles defense as well. The X-Cats need a big week from their defense becasue the running back matchup is even and could go either way.

Jc's Evil Empire(2-0)vs. sigmakittens(0-2)
The only chace the kitties have is massive games from Holmes and Green because they will be hard pressed to match the Evil Empire's firepower even if Big Ben doesn't make thing happen against New England.

Nor Cal Crushers(1-1) vs. Tomahawks(1-1)
Is this the week Peyton Manning makes things happen for the Tomahawks? They'd better hope so because their running backs Tatum Bell and Brandon Jacobs cannot match Lamont Jordan and Shaun Alexander. The Crushers need to fill in a spot for Ray Lewis who is on a bye.

Cooney Quest(1-1)vs. Cromer Angry Smash!(2-0)
The Smash are hoping Brett Farve continues to improve against eh very tough Bucs D but the Quest's Kurt Warner has yet to make any plays this season so Farve doesn't have to do alot to win the matchup. The Smashhave the advantage in the running game unless Ronnie Brown can play more like his ols Aubirn running mate Cadillaic Williams.


Beckham Pwns All(1-1)Dogs in the Bathtub(0-2)
Beckham Pwns All has a bigtimne advantage with Micehal Vick hurting ont he road against a very nasty (and angry) Bills defense and not muchat running back for the Dogs. If Drew Brees makes plays they should win easily.



Tolman(1-1)vs. Stevies Scapegoats(1-1)
Tolman is sleeping at the wheel going with a bye saddled Clinton Portis leaving only backup Travis FIsher to take on the SCapegoat's Kyle Johnson and Warrick Dunn. Unless Matt Hasselback can pound Jake Delhomme things look pretty grim for them.

Pelan's Bobcats(1-1) vs. Mechanicatz(1-1)
Not sure if the Mechinacatz's Drew Bledsoe can dominate former understudy Tom Brady but the Steelrs D may. WHat really could do the Bobcats in is Roy Williams and MAtt Stover on a bye, an absent Peppi Zellner on defense, a who's tha? forFabian Washington and the blank spot on the defense. Making it way to easy for the Mechinacatz.

Fiesty Clowns(0-2)vs.wst Coast Style(0-2)
Yet another case of roster mismanagment as wst Coast Style has two players on byes palying.Chris Cooley and MArcus Pollard taking up a roster spot. Fortunately the league did them a favor and vetoed the McNAbb for Dilfer so Donovan is still there to destroy the non existant Raiders defense for his team while the Clowns are frustrated with Daunte Culpeppers poor production so far and a weak backfield with Mewelde Moore and Chris Perry. Mike ALscott isn't the offense threat he once was but Fast Willie PArker could be huge for wst Coast Style.

WEEK 3 SCEDULE

Nor Cal Crushers(1-1) vs. Koko's X-Cats(1-1)
The Crushers are looking to Crush the X-Cats with their three headed monster LaDanian Thomlinson, Brian Westbrook and Carnell Williams. Willis McGahee needs to step up and Kerry Collins needs to comethrough for the X-Cats to have a chance.

Rhode Island Voltaic(2-0)vs. The Tacoites(1-1)
The Voltaic have a an advantage with a waiting to explode Peyton Manning in the chamber and a much more productive Warrick Dunn instead of Kevan Barlow. I don't know how much Tom Brady can give to the Tacoites against a very tough Steelrs team.

Dunedain(0-2)vs.Stevies Scapegoats(0-2)
The Scapegoats are still waiting for Daunte Culpepper to come around and depend more on Fas Willie PArker to have their back. Dunedain does not have to worry so much about Drew Brees but Tiki Barber may be a bigger performer for them.

FirstFORCE(2-0) vs. QC Elite(0-2)
It never helps to sport two blanks on defense but to have a mercurial talent at quarterback and a running back that seems to always be hurt does not help the QC Elite at all. FirstFORCE has Duece McALlister on their side and he may be more productive than the ELite's Arron Brooks.

Team THRUST(2-0) vs.Pelan's Bobcats(0-2)
Team THRUST lean on Marc Bulger but I'm not sure how much they'll get from Derrick Baylock. Trent Green hasn't been the most productive player for the Bobcats but Shaun ALerxnader is a stud and may be enough for the Bobcats to break through.

Cooney Quest(2-0)vs. hurricnaes(0-2)
The Canes could blugeon the Quest to death with Donovan McNAbb. Brett Farve isn't the player he once was but the Quest will probably get more from thier running back TJ Duckett than the Canes will get from JJ Arrington.

I Will Crush You(2-0) vs. sigmakittens(0-2)
The kitties have a potentially tough one tow running back punch with Curtis MArtin and Priest Holmes but would like to get more from Jake Delhomme. I Will Crush You needs Larry Johnson to make the most of his opportunities but really need a big game from Matt Hasdselback.

Your Ad Here(2-0)vs. Fiesty Clowns(1-1)
The Fiesty Clowns have doomed themselves to failure by having two non performers on defense and Kevin Jones and ANdre Johnson on a bye. Unless Carson Palmer and Edgerrin James have career games Your Ad Here won't need Steve McNair, Julius Jones or Randy Moss to all be bigitme (though on of them have to be).

Jc's Evil Empire(0-2) vs.Coco's Monkeys(1-1)
Both the Evil Empire and the Monkeys are sporting bye based blank spots on their rosters (the missing Redskins D will hurt the Evil Empire more than Jabbar Gaffeny not playing for the Monkeys) . Both teams are waiting for their quarterbacks to step up but the Monleys get the nod at runningback with Corey Dillon more needed to make plays for the Patriots to hope to win while ROnnie Brown looks every bit like a rookie.


Akshar Did It(2-0)vs. wst Coast Style(1-1)
Ashkar Did It may not get big numbers from Ben Roethlisberger and who is Maurice Hicks? wst Coast Style is leaning a bit much on the Jaguars offense with Leftwich and Taylor but Terrell Owens will be the difference.

[Cory]

I think I'm going to break 100.

Steve Smith just caught another TD pass. 53 yards.

Sittin pretty at 68 with Plummer, LT, and Dallas still to go.

[Cory]

LT is a nasty, nasty man.

I don't think I'm going to see a week like this again... all my RB's scored 20+, and would have been enough to take down anyone this week.

And I still have Plummer to go. Anyone remember the all time high score for a week in the FIRST league? I think Phillycheesesteak had one around 120 in 2003.

[EddieMcD]

Dunedain pulled 169 in the first round of the playoffs in 2003 (highest regular season was a 157 by the Philly Cheesesteaks Week XII that year). But there's probably never going to be scores that high in The FIRST Robotics Football League again since that was the year players got a point per reception/completion.

[Jones571]

Yeah i think you guarantee a win when your backs run for over 70pts good thing LT is finale breaking out this year..... o Eddie thanks for locking all my functions on the other football league
