Title: I think I'm screwed, please help
Post by Walker_Boh on Dec 20^th, 2002, 3:34pm

In this week's Superbowl, I'll be playing the #1 ranked team and I've got a big problem... Jeff Garcia. With Owens being a game time decision and Mariucci admitting that they're not taking any chances, I'm hesitant to start him. I also have a tough decision to make at #2 RB. Please help. Here's my team w/ projected starters in BOLD.

Milehigh Madness
QB - Garcia, Brunell, Ramsey
RB - PORTIS, JOHNSON (lost A-Train), Pittman, Canidate
WR - HOLT & KEYSHAWN
TE - SHARPE
K - M. Gramatica
D - TAMPA

Free Agent QB's - Fiedler, McMahon, Kitna, Peete
Free Agent RB's - Dayne, Peterson, Cloud, Allen

Scoring: TD = 6, 10 yard catch/run = 1, 25 yard pass = 1, Int./Fumble = -2.

mmmhh. Oh man o man. First impression tells me you should snag Fiedler. That is just so tough to do with the sb riding on it. If you're leaning away from Garcia, Fiedler is a better option than you current bench. You're in good shape every where else. Don't change any of the rest, and dude, I feel for ya on the qb situation.

Good luck

I agree with 420 on this one. I'd grab Fiedler as well.

I just dropped Pittman and picked up Fiedler.

I would appreciate more opinions.

Thanks

I would have prefered Kitna at QB. We all say Uh, its Kitna, but he's done really well for the last 6 or 7 weeks in most scoring systems. This week, with NO coming to town needing a win, it should hopefully be a shootout.

Well, the good news is that I went with Fielder (17 points) over Garcia (14 points) and it turned out to be a good move.[smiley=thumbsup.gif] The bad news is that both the teams I played this week had the Eagles D (36 points).>:(
Needless to say, I have a huge hole to dig myself out of tomorrow![smiley=nervous.gif]

All that stress for nothing. It wasn't even close... I got killed in both leagues![smiley=doh.gif]
I could have started Garcia, Fiedler and Kitna and I still would have lost![smiley=thumbsdown.gif]

Keep 'em comin' [smiley=alcoholic.gif]
