Title: Playoff time! Bulger or CPepp?
Post by captainpurple on Dec 17^th, 2003, 9:51am

I've got a killer team, but my opponent has good matchups. Standard scoring, do I:

1) Start CPepp vs a struggling KC D, or Bulger in a shootout vs CIN? Faulk has been getting the ball more as of late, so I'm leaning CPepp.

2) Start who at RB? Priest yes, but then do I start Davis/Foster, ATrain or Bennett (pick 2)?

DJackson vs ARI
Faulk vs CIN
DDavis vs TEN
Gonzo @ MIN
Stover @ CLE

Thanks!

I hate to tell you this but I'd bench your Vikings this week.

QB - I'd start Bulger. KC could come up with some picks.

RB - I'd start A-Train & Foster I think he's starting over Davis.

Yeah, I hate to do it, but I'm thinking I have to bench the Vikes too. #1 offense in the NFL or not. Bennett is hurting and won't be much of a factor if KC gets ahead (which I think they will). CPepp will be passing all day, so he could get 3, maybe 4 TDs, but could throw 3 picks too!

Bulger's is hampered by Faulk returning to form, and he hasn't thrown more TDs than picks since week 6! :o :o And he's only thrown only 2 games all year w/o a pick, and only thrown 1 game with 2 more TDs than picks.

Looking at the #s that way gives me pause in starting Bulger. Am I overanalyzing this?

Tough decisions...

I think I'd go with Culpepper. You may see more defense in the Rams-Bengals game than expected. I would expect lots of offense in the Vikes-Chiefs game. Even if Culpepper throws an INT or two, I think his rushing yards (and touchdowns) will erase those quickly.

At RB, you better hope that Priest goes off. For #2, go with A-Train - he's healthy and starting, period. For #3, I'd keep an eye on the Stephen Davis sitch. If he is definitely starting, he should get some yards. Otherwise give Foster the start. Bennett, even if he does play, will be sharing with Onterrio and Moe.

My heart just wouldn't let me bench CPepp. Man, am I glad I didn't!
