Thanks for having my back, Texans.  Shale probably has the strongest overall roster at this point, so I'm glad I got my two wins over him.

Now to just deal with a certain cruel ogress who stole Aaron Rodgers!

Shale also seems to have horrible luck with picking the right players to actually play, given that 3-5 record. <_<

It's more that I (a) make terrible choices to replace people on bye weeks and (b) hate the Texans. This extends to both this week's shenanigans (Slaton and Daniels out in the first quarter? Fuck you!) and Slaton's early-season crapfest.

You drafted Brian Westbrook with the first overall pick. That is begging for it.

*Shakes fist at farmgirl* I'll get you yet! I hope. My WRs have criminally under performed, but I've got two of the best fantasy RBs in the league right now, plus Pierre Thomas. If Johnson and Jennings can play up to potential, I should be okay.

I didn't even play him.

I have tons of running backs! Lots of good ones! Except this week.

Marshawn Lynch's value is near nil because the Bills have absolutely no offense to speak of, Westbrook I wouldn't have touched before the 4th with his injury history, Brown's a good pickup and Bradshaw's not even his starting RB. It's a decent group but could be better.

Your Wrs have done better at a glance.

This is true, though I'm just happy with Lynch hitting double digits.

I'm adding another as well ._.

I don't get my 2-6 record at all!

I mean three of my players are ton ten in fantasy points....gah!

So instead of bitch about that, I am just turning my team into a Hurricane squad.

...

With Brady as my QB!

~

In other league news!

I am in four leagues.

I have two teams that are 2-6 and my best team is 6-2 while the other team is managing a 4-3 record.

Weeeeeeeeeeeee

General warning: This week is the first Thursday game of the season. If you've got any Bears or Niners in your lineup, get them set before tomorrow night.

Goddammit, BOTH my RBs were hurt early and didn't come back.  Turner was tearing them up, too. ;_;

I need 22 points from Ray Rice. Mmm, possible but that's pushing it even for the Browns.

You think that's bad?  I need 36 points from Baltimore's defense.

Also I told you I should have started Forte over Benson.  This'll teach me to listen to four people shouting me down instead of my gut. <_<  If I'd done that I'd only need 22 points from the defense!

In short, Baltimore needs to win 90-0 thanks to several Ray Rice TDs and fumble returns for TDs *Nodnod*

I stand by the bench Forte advice. That was some fluke luck there. The Bears can't run block worth a damn and two of those checkdowns were freak luck that they blew up like that. But yeah, happens. At least Sydney Rice has been good!
