NPNG 4 Posted October 3, 2019 I commission a 14 team league where I am usually at or near the top of the standings. This year, however, I stand at 0-4 and the 2nd lowest scoring team in the league. This is what my team looks like: QB J. Allen M. Rudolph RB Zeke D. Montgomery D. Singletary F. Gore D. Thompson (KC) WR Hopkins M. Brown DJ Moore M. Williams C. Beasley A. Tate TE D. Waller C. Herndon Def Houston Doesn't look bad for a 14-teamer. Some guys underproducing. What does your 0-4 look like? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zftcg 84 Posted October 3, 2019 Long-time family league that I have consistently dominated (won as recently as two years ago, and there have only been 3/13 years where I didn't at least make the semis). This year has been a disaster from the start. Took DJ 7th, which has worked out OK, but then went Antonio Brown/Sony Michel in the next two rounds. Drafted Cam as my only QB, and in a 14-teamer where a lot of teams drafted backups, have been scrambling ever since (and this is in a league heavily weighted toward QBs -- 0.25/completion and 6pt passing TDs) My roster isn't terrible but there are no guys on there who are going to single-handedly win me my week, much less my league. Sat Watkins in Week 1 (which made sense) and have played him every week since (which also made sense). Also hasn't helped that my opponents have averaged more than 135/game against me, which is 15ppg more than any other team's opponents. If my collective opponents were a single team, it would be laying waste to the league The only good news is that this league has open waivers and I've salvaged many a previous season with key pickups. Hoping for a Lindsey/Chubb type of player to fall into my lap. Also, eight-team playoff, so if I can right the ship and claw back to respectability, I can give myself an opportunity to get hot at the right time. Current roster: QB: Jones, Minshew RB: DJohnson, Michel, Singletary, Samuels WR: Cooks, Watkins, Samuel, JBrown, Jeffrey TE: Andrews Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brutal Brutus 182 Posted October 3, 2019 1-7 this year. I won the title last year, and 3 of the past 5, but this year I'm just trying to not get last. QB: Rivers, Brisset RB: Mixon, Fournette, Breida, L. Murray, Bernard WR: Adams, Gordon, Fuller, Gallop, Allison TE: Ertz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You need to work on your defense. I don't have any 0-4 teams (I'm Axe Elf, after all), but I do have two 1-3 teams out of my fifteen managed leagues. In one of them, a 14-teamer like yours, I have the 4th-most points scored, but I'm 6.1 points away from having the most points scored against me, so I'm kind of hoping that team will come around as the season progresses. The other 1-3 team kind of deserves to be 1-3; I was dumb enough to take Davante Adams and Joe Mixon instead of Greg Zuerlein and the Bears DST. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil Simms 11 127 Posted October 3, 2019 Worst team is 1-3. QB Goff, WR JuJu, RB Freeman and TE Cooks are the worst picks of the lot. Been a TE shitshow all year. Starting Eifert this week with Ben Watson on the bench. I also picked up Hunter Henry to put on the IR spot in desparation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tanatastic 2,061 Posted October 5, 2019 You can be 1-3 and still have the best team. Scoring is the only metric that matters because you can’t control wether your opponent outscores you. Sort your league by PF, that’s who the best teams are. I won a game this year scoring 89 and lost scoring 150. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,459 Posted October 5, 2019 Would agree, total points is the stat that truly shows who owns the better team. Once again the league im in does use both, h to h and total points. Total points is for the entire season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

huskyhater75 242 Posted October 5, 2019 Where should I start? In my division (I say that because all my games have been in division) my opponents have scored 686 points against me, 127 more than the next team "behind" me-that's an average of 171 points a game. ALSO in my division I have scored 559 points (average of 139 a game), I'm high scorer in my division. I'm not 0-4 but I'm 1-3.................sitting real pretty and extremely happy (sic) about it.........................weepaws, can you say a prayer for me? Anything? Just kidding, I know it can always be worse. Good luck this week guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've always wondered how God answers the prayers of people praying for their favorite teams to win--is it just a straight tally...? "Well, that's 411,392 prayers for Chicago and 651,112 prayers for Minnesota, I guess it's SKOL this week..." Or are the prayers weighted by the righteousness of the petitioners in some way--like each prayer for the Saints could be worth 1.5 times each prayer for their opponents...?

Never would have thought that way about it! Last night on news I saw where 2 Portland HS teams played, Jesuit (private Catholic) and Central Catholic (public school)-a rivalry game, they refer to it as the Holy War.

weepaws 2,459 Posted October 5, 2019 I think that’s a very good question, don’t know how God answers the prayers from people for their favorite team, I really don’t not think he cares, but he loves the people. But I know I was asked from someone to pray for them, and I did pray for them, but as for those praying for a team to succeed, I don’t know if God really does acknowledge those prayers your not, it doesn’t talk about football teams in the Bible. But great question and a great post. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It seems like He's kind of painted Himself into a corner when He says things like, "And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it." --John 14:13-14 (NIV) If you have fans of opposing teams both asking for a win in Jesus' name, He's going to break His promise to one of them.

No, I'm not interested in you teaching me more about what you think the Bible says, and you're right, we should stick to football. The effect of praying about the outcome of football games is something I've thought about a lot, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
