OK, so I've got:
PIT - CIN, @NE, JAC, @STL
TB - @NO, @HOU, ATL, @SF
I'm not liking PIT in 3 of their 4 remaining games...and maybe not even @STL if they keep scoring points. TB is looking tasty in the playoffs (bolded). But I need a D to get me through to then.
Here's the WW and their week 13 & 14 matchups:
DEN @ OAK, hosting KC
CAR hosting SF, @JAC
WAS hosting BUF, hosting CHI
OAK hosting DEN, @GB
NYJ @ MIA, hosting CLE
MIA hosting NYJ, @BUF
I'm thinking I'll drop PIT for DEN or CAR. I like CAR hosting SF this week, then I could go with TB next week. Or grab CAR this week and drop them for DEN hosting KC next week. Then ride TB in the playoffs.
thoughts?

The Steelers are crushing on Defense this year. I think you are over analyzing if you do not start them. If Polumua(sp) plays, then it is a no brainer. If he is out again. MAYBE you think about it at that point. |

Yeah, that's what I thought a couple weeks ago vs. the Jets. I started PIT after being told I was over-analyzing, only to see TB score 23, and PIT to lay a major egg...costing me the game!
#1 D or not, it's all about 1 week at a time now. I'm certainly not playing PIT against NE next week...and not against JAC the week after.
I just think Denver has a better shot at turnovers and a low scoring game. Palmer and Co are coming around and I can't afford PIT to lay another egg.

I'll stand behind my decision and take my lumps next week if you're right....but I really feel DEN is the safer option with more upside. CIN is going to put 20-24 on PIT, so that won't help me win. DEN has the chance to get 3-4 TOs thanks to PullCrapper, and maybe Bailey can house one to help me out.
We'll see on sunday!

Pittsburgh 24---Bungles 10
Raiders 34-----Denver 20
Tampa Bay 27-----New Orleans 23
How did that work out for you?

Dayne notwithstanding, he isn't the type of back I seeing having much success against Tampa's D, and Rosenfels is (I believe) your starter under center. I don't care how "decent" he's looked. Playing Dallas would be a bit of a roll of the dice. Tampa isn't or, at least, shouldn't be.
