Just got back from the bar, what a horrible day for my fantasy team, one win away from the Super Bowl.

Started Witten over Fred Davis .... Ughhh.
Had to start Roy Williams. Don't ask. Ughhh.
Ray Rice had 75 rushing yards in the 1st quarter. 2 hours later, he has 78.

My opponent has gotten TDs out of Sims-Walker and Mason, while his defense (Baltimore) keeps collect Cutler INTs.

My 9th straight year in which I made the playoffs and didn't win. I hate this fucking game ...

I am down big, but I have Adrian Peterson tonight. However, he has Favre, Steve Smith (Carolina) and Tynes. Goodnight ...

Yeah I'm having a nice weekend. Cowboys helped me out big. (Miles Austin and then the other guy I am playing had Drew Brees who had one of his worst weeks all season). Looks like I am championship game bound. We play ours in week 16 to try and avoid benched starters

Good luck to you guys ... any chance of a comeback for me ended when Ray Rice was given the bench early in the 3rd quarter. At least I am gettinng slaughtered, doesn't hurt as bad as past failures.

2 seasons ago, I was in the Super Bowl (winner gets $1400), close game going into the night game. I had Adrian Peterson, he had Chester Taylor. Advantage me, right?

Peterson got 7 carries in the game if my memory serves me correctly, while Taylor scored two TDs. If I ever see Brad Childress, I will be going to jail, period. I would add an emoticon here, but I am not smiling writing this.

Looks like I will fall in my semis unless Eli goes absolutley nuts Monday night but I am gonna be too far down. Here's hoping for a 3rd place finish to earn my entry fee back.

I'm about to blow it, Rivers, McCoy, and D. Jackson are all killing me in these late games, I'm only up 9 after building a pretty hefty lead during the early games.

I'll finish 10-4-1 and not make the playoff in a 12 team league.
Four teams will finish 11-4 and not have me in points.
The tie was result of Jones-Drew not scoring a few week back.

I was doing well in all my leagues until this Steelers/Packers game. Everyone Im playing has Rodgers as there QB and it looks like he is going to defeat me in all but 1 league. I will have to hope Steve Smith can get me 7.11 points tomorrow night and I will make the championship in one league. Im just sad that I will once again fall short in both the huddle leagues.

Slightly off topic, but...

So do I start Steve Smith or Percy Harvin tonight? Harvin has been amazing all season and hate seeing him on my bench, it looks like he is going to play, but who knows how much? Smith while isn't a bad choice, has underachieved most of the season.

This is the only player I have left, and I'm winning by 22 points; my opponent has Jason Campbell playing tomorrow.

Also had Roethlisberger on my bench :)
