FBG Contest

Just wondering who's left for the $15K. I made the week 1 cut, placing a sad 6200. It's not looking good for round 2! Onterio, Warner and Jerry Porter aren't going to do a heck of a lot anytime soon.

Look for the Rabid Llamas!

[Royal Hawaiian Opihi]

I survived the cut... somewhere around 3600th place... I think my score was 139.5.

So do we keep a cumulative score, or do the slates get wiped clean each week?

[Preds]

The slates get wiped clean each week. Nothing cumulative.

I finished with 130.8 I believe, good enough for 4200 something or other.

I believe week 2's cut is the top 6000, so 2001 folk are getting the axe.

[Preds]

I made the week 2 cut

thought it was interesting to see the name right below me is a member of these boards and my division rival in the Tundra!

[Royal Hawaiian Opihi]

I had a much better week... moving on myself!

1,727 James White Royal Hawaiian Opihi 151.4

I didn't know the UKUS were in it!! Llamas survive at 3700+, but feels like just a matter of time!

I HATE THE COWBOYS! AAAAAHHHHHHH

[Mutts]

The Mutts are holding steady in the mid 1000s.

1640 (roundabouts) Week 1

:toast:

[Preds]

I'm still in it

Lost Faulk this week but I have Gordon.

Also lost Jurevicius last week, so injuries are starting to takea toll.

Week 4 cutoff is at 4000 I believe.

[Mutts]

The Mutts came in at 920 this week. Do I see a trend developing?! :toast:

[Royal Hawaiian Opihi]

I came in somewhere around 3,200th place (yikes)... also lost Faulk. My RBs are hurting (I've also got Onterrio Smith, who's done squat so far!)... I should survive another week... but not sure how much longer after that!

[Brain Dead Squirrel Chasers]

I'm still alive and kicking. Thank goodness for Jamal Lewis.

Week 1
140.4 pts
2916 rank

Week 2
169.1 pts
429 rank

Week 3
129.4 pts
2143 rank

I havent had major byes yet though.....I have alot coming up in the mid weeks.

[Mutts]

Who's still alive? Mutts are in at 1784 for Week 4.

[Preds]

Week 4 was not a kind week to me in the leagues I care about most. I lost to an 0-5 team in my $150 money league (I'm now 3-3), lost in the Frenzy to my arch rival (falling to 3-1), and fell to 1-3 in the Tundra.

Then I lost 1 of my survivor teams at xpertleagues, (but 17 of 21 are still alive).

Finally, to cap off an UGLY week I got booted from the FBG contest with the following injury riddled team:

Pts Scored: 94.7

Player / Cost :
QB: Brady, Tom (NE)-5.0
QB: Maddox, Tommy (Pit)-5.0
QB: Collins, Kerry (NYG)-4.0
RB: Faulk, Marshall (StL)-66.0
RB: Gordon, Lamar (StL)-3.0
RB: Dunn, Warrick (Atl)-16.0
RB: Faulk, Kevin (NE)-5.0
WR: Price, Peerless (Atl)-22.0
WR: Ferguson, Robert (GB)-4.0
WR: Lelie, Ashley (Den)-14.0
WR: McCaffrey, Ed (Den)-3.0
WR: Jackson, Darrell (Sea)-17.0
WR: Jurevicius, Joe (TB)-2.0
TE: Heap, Todd (Bal)-22.0
TE: Campbell, Mark (Buf)-2.0
PK: Dawson, Phil (Cle)-2.0
PK: Kasay, John (Car)-2.0
Def: Buffalo-2.0
Def: New England-4.0

On the bright side, I did win in the Monsters of Rock and the RZL to improve to 3-1 in those leagues, and improved to .500 at 2-2 in the $50 WNY Sharks league.

All in all I'd have rather won in my $150 local league and the Frenzy, but you can't have it all...

At least I can ignore checking in on the FBG contest from here on out :wow

well i can't say I am sorry to hear about your fate in the footballguys contest preds, after beating my injury riddled texans this weekend in RZL. Look at it this way though, you can now root for me in the contest, as I seem to be doing quite well in it lately!

[Brain Dead Squirrel Chasers]

Chugin along with a 152 week 4, Ranked 734.

This week is a tough with with my stud, Jama Lewis on bye.

Edit to add: I'm 467th overall after 4 weeks. 590.9 total. Not bad. Yay me!

[Brain Dead Squirrel Chasers]

Well thanks to Manning looks like I survived Jamal's bye week. I should be safe with 130.8 points. How's everyone else doing?

Looks like I am moving on to week 6 with several byes and a 1 or 2 injuries starting to kick in now! I hope to move along despite all this, as I was not one of those idiots that took either onterrio smith or william green!

[Royal Hawaiian Opihi]

I've been traveling the past two weeks... and just got back to find out that I was booted out after week 4. (Sigh) I hope one of our guys on this forum brings home the cashe! :smoke

[Mutts]

Moving along to week 6. I made it through Jamal's bye week... if I can pull through Moss's bye this week, I'm looking strong.

[Mutts]

I'm moving along to Week 7. Made it through both Jamal and Moss's bye weeks now.

[Brain Dead Squirrel Chasers]

Count me among the 2k that advanced.....Barely this time.:toast:

[Mutts]

Came in 811 this week, so I'm moving on to Week 8. Unfortunately, Joe didn't make the cut this week... so I think I'm the last Preds Forums member standing.

[Brain Dead Squirrel Chasers]

Yup, my team laid an egg this week. With Manning on bye, no one picked up the slack.

Most of my WRs had below avg games

Galloway
Morton
Darrell Jackson

Big mistakes for me on the year

$25 Eddie George
$21 Trung Canidate
$2 Robert Ferguson


Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. I'm looking forward to next year. Good luck Jake!

[Preds]

Jake,

I'll be pulling for you to go as far as you can, hell, maybe you'll get luck and win it all (then you could share some with your board mates ;)).

Seriously, what's your team? ALso, What is the next cutoff?

[Mutts]

This is my team:

QB: McNair, Steve (Ten)-11.0
QB: Collins, Kerry (NYG)-4.0
QB: Brees, Drew (SD)-3.0
RB: Lewis, Jamal (Bal)-46.0
RB: Morris, Maurice (Sea)-2.0
RB: George, Eddie (Ten)-25.0
RB: Smith, Onterrio (Min)-6.0
WR: Moss, Randy (Min)-49.0
WR: Galloway, Joey (Dal)-4.0
WR: Jurevicius, Joe (TB)-2.0
WR: Ferguson, Robert (GB)-4.0
WR: Chambers, Chris (Mia)-18.0
WR: Johnson, Kevin (Cle)-4.0
TE: Johnson, Teyo (Oak)-2.0
TE: McMichael, Randy (Mia)-7.0
PK: Stover, Matt (Bal)-2.0
PK: Hanson, Jason (Det)-2.0
Def: Oakland-4.0
Def: Baltimore-5.0

I bought into some of the hype with the O. Smith, Ferguson, and Teyo picks, but McNair and Jamal are performing above cost and helping even things out. Eddie isn't doing much to help me, but that was a risk I knew I was taking on with a $25 RB. Really for me, it comes down to Mo Morris. My thoughts here were that whoever wins this thing, wins it on plain luck anyway. As a 4th RB, I figured I had to go with a guy who was in a situation where he plays and is an absolute stud, or he doesn't play at all. To me, Mo was the ultimate all or nothing pick. If Alexander plays all year I probably won't make it very far into the second half of the season, but if he doesn't... :smooch

[Mutts]

Moving on to Week 9 and a field of 500 footballguys. The Mutts came in 73rd this week! :smoke

[Royal Hawaiian Opihi]

Way to go, Mutts! Keep up the good work... and fill us in on your progress! :toast:

JIM

[Mutts]

I'm busted guys. McNair's bye week did me in.
