 I'd say given the current situation you would have to like The White Stripes as the favorite to win this league. Brady is on an absolute tear and once Addai is healthy him and Peterson will pack a serious 1-2 punch at RB.

Well my luck finally ran out. A combination of bye weeks, injuries and lack of consistant QB play have caused my first loss of the season. Congrats Carls!
 
 This loss combined with my point total means I will drop into second place : (

Until they lose (which they just might this weekend in Indy), I would start the Patriot's water boy if I could.  In their first eight games they have scored 38, 38, 38, 34, 34, 48, 49 and 52 points.
 
 I mean, how many fantasy points does Mike Vrabel have this season?  And he's a linebacker!

 P.S.  I think if anyone on your defense scores in an offensive capacity, the defense should get those points.  Rainbows and Unicorns should have six more points.  Rainbows and Unicorns has the New England defense.  Mike Vrabel is on the New England defense.  Mike Vrabel scored a touchdown.

Give the man a break.  In a time when there are so many fathers who don't give a darn about their kids, you have a father who is literally running for his kids' well-being.  Two more and he can field a side.  God Bless Him.

Well, because the advice was coming so late from here, I let Smackette pick my wideouts this week.  She said Holt and Welker and she was spot on (applying the no practice, no play theory about Coles).
 
 And yes, Welker will start the rest of thes season until the Jets do something about Pennington.

Thank you.  I was helped by S-Jax's 5 minutes of playing time, along with Lee Evans & Reggie Brown finally doing something.  And like you said, you had a lot of headwinds this week.  Bye weeks for 3 of your starters.  Plaxico, having an excellent season, was hurt by having to play in the River Thames floodplain.  And 2 of your players goose-egged, one on an injury (I know that feeling...Kurt Warner, Week 6).  Nevertheless, knocking off the last undefeated team is probably the highlight of my fantasy season

well i think special teams scores should go in defense too but oh well.
 6 points would not have made a difference for me.  i had a really good week this week, but i got outplayed because of new england running up the score and my opponent having brady/welker.
 
 if my team performs as well as this week, i'll be in good shape when the playoffs start.

Unless I misread things, I don't think we're having playoffs.

well damn then.  i'd not noticed.
 well, either way, i'll still be ok.  no way i'll win, but if i'm in the top half after starting off so badly, i'll be happy.

Damnit, sweetcell.  A tie???  Gah, if only I'd played S-Jax.
 
 Wanna break the tie in real life?  Arm wrestling?  Dance-off?  Spelling bee?

[sweetcell]

agreed: A TIE?!?  there are no ties in the NFL!!!  they should institute a tie-breaker, like who has the hottest cheerleaders.  i'm definitely down for the arm-wrestling, and dance-off would be embarrassing for both of us but i'd still win.  spelling bee not so much, i never had to do those as a kid so i suck at spelling out loud (and, as my posts here prove, spelling in general).
 
 dhino, you're lucky that i didn't have time to take Sidney Rice out of my line-up and swap him out with someone - anyone - else who could have scrounged up one measily point... or if i had started young instead of hasselbeck, as i considered doing.... lucky, i tell ya.

steelers tied the falcons a few years back. it was the worst game i ever watched

back to .500!
 
 ..and 5 of my remaining 7 opponents are ranked below me in the standings!

[Shadrach]

I have a surpluss of RB's and am willing to deal for WR's or QB's. The trade deadline is fast approaching. Make me an offer.

[godsshoeshine]

oh yeah, you can have eli
