If he continues to suck bad enough, they will take him off the Can't Cut list eventually.

Grrrrr....agh.  Just barely edged me, Egg-man.  Andre Johnson can eat a bag of dicks after that lame-ass performance.  1/3 of his 2.75 points came from a tackle after an interception.  I can't blame Schaub for not throwing his way - one of the trainers must have filled his gloves with cement.  Twice as many drops as catches on Monday.

Yeah, I wasn't expecting to luck out and hang on to that lead. It was a pleasant surprise this morning!

Shit, I shouldn't have even bothered to bench Vick this week. fuck*ng Seahawks receivers. Wilson finally looks good all night and they can't catch a fuck*ng ball.

I need to get rid of him. I didn't like Ponder and Wilson was the next best option when I dropped him, but man has he been a disappointment. While Ponder has actually done pretty well.

FINA-fuck*ng-LLY. I win a match. It only took my opponent leaving three spots on his roster blank. Thank you TSR.

I demolished a zombie team too.  Le-porkin must be busy soldiering.  Or Marine-ing anyway.  I'll get to see whether ACAP is paying attention this week.

Wow, Jay Cutler with 2 lost fumbles and a pick.  Less than -11 points. Good thing A-CAP had him on the bench.

I'm involved in another league that has much lamer scoring than ours.  Quarterbacks routinely have point values 2-3x the other positions picks and fumbles aren't penalized enough, and DEF scoring is relatively insensitive; a team can allow 30+ points and still get a modest score, and a lights out day isn't rewarded as it should.   Plus no individual D players. I play both, but I care about ours more.

I've seen defenses end up with high fantasy scores despite being lousy IRL when special teams return yards are included. If you're returning 10 kickoffs in a game, you're going to rack up those return yards.

I didn't realize return yards went to the DEF!  The player gets yards and TDs awarded for returns, it seems redundant to give them to the Defense as well (blocking notwithstanding; the RB gets all the rushing yard glory and the line doesn't even appear in the game!).  That looks like what is in play in my other league. Tennessee DEF is ranked #8 despite having given up the most points against because they have the second highest amount of return yards (Cleveland.  Another defensive powerhouse).  That is a terrible stat.

Who'll trade me a decent Wide Receiver for the Denver defense?  The Mayor's gonna whup me with his all-star roster at this point.  This is my first week above .500 and I'd prefer its not my last...

I like Crabtree better, but I think Moore is going to earn more points this year.  Palmer's hucking the ball all over the place, and their running game just went into the shitter with McFadden's ankle injury.  The Niners are clearly run-first at this point, and I expect most of their TDs will come that way.

Does that mean Denarius Moore is off the table?

Looks like they need more hamsters.  It was slow last week too.
