This week will suck, as Rivers is on bye and of course I'm playing Toad and his Manning. Bullies get lucky and get to play Toad and his Manning on Manning's bye week.

I've no doubt Toad can overcome the Bullsies, even without Manning. This week, I suspect my ass will be grass.

Don't assume!! I have many guys on Bye other than Manning and I'm having to rehaul the team due to too many of my non-QB players going into suck mode.

This is the part of the season that separates the people that watch Football from those that don't. Lots of injuries happening, bye weeks... people have to drop guys. For me, this is the most fun part. I love hunting for that guy that will step into a slot because the starter got nicked. I did it last week, when I got the WR, douglas, on the falcons because white and jones are both hurt.

I didn't start him though, because I'm a homer and I WANTED Austin to have a big game. .. and I WANTED to be there to see it. THAT'S motivated reasoning, tw. I got the win anyway because V is asleep at the wheel, but douglas scored 32.90 on my bench.

I got Cole Beasley to replace Austin. I see him becoming a Wes Welker type of slot receiver.

I gave up on a couple of my gimps getting better, and am happy with the guys I picked up as well. We'll see. The guru thinks Clodfobble is in great shape this week. But I think I have a chance.

Is Hammer and Tongs Biggie? Whoever it is left a bunch of injured and byes in the line-up. Some could be swapped by 4pm Eastern.

Yep, that's me. I've looked but still don't really know how to make changes, ND I know even less about what would be a good move. Like lj said not all of us watch football.

Yeah, that sucked ass. I know I got my QB and a (probable, still) WR to go, but they ain't gonna net me 121.3 points.

UT is kickin' ass and takin' tickets.

I was expecting RG3 to do more for me than 10 points. It's a rough game. I hope he comes back next week. Clodfobble should beat me easily, unless her QB gets injured as well.

I just got around to checking the how the game ended up. I can't believe it.

I squeaked by with a margin of victory of nine tenths of a point.
