Title: Playoff line up HELP PLEASE!!!
Post by Mossaholic on Dec 9^th, 2003, 12:20pm

Alright its playoff time were every macthup counts [smiley=alcoholic.gif]. I need some help making some decisions from you FF Studs [smiley=bow.gif]

QB

Hasselbeck @ STL- STL is 7 against QBs. Earlier against the Rams he had 256yds, 2tds, 1int.

Bulger vs SEA- SEA is 27 against QBs. Earlier against the Hawks had 226yds, 1td, 2ints.

WR

Chambers vs PHI- PHI is 11 against Wrs. Last 4 games 16rec, 3tds, 52.5yds/gm. The QB situation makes me uneasy.

Buress @NYJ- Jets 9th against WRs. Last 4 games 19 rec, 1td, 64.5yds/gm. What is the weather gonna be like overthere, east coasters?

M. Robinson @ OAK- Raiders 7th against WRs. Last 4 games 15rec, 6tds, 64.8yds/gm. Hot, but is Woodsen gonna be able to shut him down? This is gotta end sooner or later, right?

TE

Boo Williams vs NYG- Giants 5th against TEs. Last 4 games 17rec, 3tds, 56.3yds/gm. On a roll.

Heap @ OAK- Raiders 24th against TEs. Last 4 games 14rec, 0tds, 34,5yds/gm. Has been my man all year but is cold now. Wright does not look his way like Boller did. But if Woodsen takes Robinson out of game then is Heap set for a big day?

All perspectives appreciated. Thank you

At Qb I'd go with the home team:

Bulg-er [smiley=checkin.gif]

I would go with the hot hands:

Boo [smiley=ghost.gif]

&

Marcus

I'd go with Bulger too. St. Louis defense has played pretty well and gets a lot of turnovers, and Hasselbeck could still be smarting from the spanking he got against the Vikes. Bulger has not played well recently, but is due (if that really means anything).

At TE you should definitely go with Boo. Deuce McAllister has opened up the middle of the field with his rushing, and Boo has been able to take advantage of favorable match ups since Conwell went down.

At WR, I'd give Plaxico a start. Chambers could have a big game, but keep in mind that the Eagles just held the Dallas WRs to a collective ZERO catches. Plus the QB issue is up in the air. Marcus Robinson... I'm not convinced he is legit again. One more good game and I'll buy into the hype.

I'm with bakes here.

I think Seattle may go on a slide from here on out (very unlike last year) while St. Louis will continue onward and upward, and Holt is due for at least a couple teeders next week, which will be delivered by Bulger.

At WR, I would roll the dice on Robinson given your alternatives, which are a bit :P this week. I think it's worth mentioning that my second choice is Burress. I really don't like Chambers (and I have him) this week for all the "obvious" reasons.

TE's... [smiley=shrug.gif] I don't know.

BTW for us northeasterners, I believe rain is in the forecast for late Sunday afternoon & evening.

That's what I thought too, 3 weeks ago! Woodson is pretty good, so I think I'd sit Robinson this week. IMO, rookie QBs don't go through their progressions well. I would think Wright will have a tough time getting to Heap. He seems to look to his WR, then check down to Lewis. So I'd sit Heap too.

Go Killer B's. Bulger, Burress & Boo!

He's not a rookie... he played for Dallas for a couple years before leaving for Baltimore.

thanks for all the replies. I'm surprised that everyone wants to go with Bulger, I was leaning towards Hassel. Thanks and good luck this week.
