I'm sorry but you can't claim to have the toughest schedule in the league after going 4-2 with the second least points scored. I would say points against is the best indicator for the schedule you've played but I dunno what you're using. You couldn't be running much hotter though.

With the additions you're definitely in the picture and I'm not too excited about being in the NFC East right now.

You each get to play systolic twice, though.

I don't understand how you and chim can call the trade "not that bad" but then be upset about being in a division with ibav that is also in the same division as systolic?

I mean in terms of teams played. I have played every 4-2 or better team, and one 3-3 team. Haven't played any losing teams.

I don't mean toughest schedule in terms of runbad, but in terms of the good shape it puts me in for tiebreakers/the implicated softness of the second half of my schedule.

just because it was a good trade for one side doesn't mean it was necessarily a bad trade for the other side

Normally I would agree, but when an 0-6 team makes a trade for old players, its usually only good for one side.

You're assuming he gave up guys that will be great for years to come. I'm not sure that's true

MJD is only a year and a half older than Foster....

Yeah, but he is also 900 carries older. And has had a catastrophic knee injury.

900 carries is basically 3 seasons worth of carries.

And he is still producing at an incredible level considering such.

Do you care about how much he can produce this year?

See how short sighted you are?

He's still recovering from his injury

And he is still producing at an elite level.
The guy will be fine for at least 2 years. At least.

For some reason waiver was winning %, H2H record, Total points.

Tiebreaker should be wining %, Total points so I fixed it.

Actually this was the original tiebreaker system, Should I be changing it to this until the offseason?

Ok originally the rules were supposed to be this
The "yahoo" part is reffering to the amount of time players are locked. I don't think we ever had it set up that way and now have a much better system in place, I'm just gonna keep it that way.

The players were given on a worst-1st basis which is how it is now except we never specified the order we were going to use for this. The original tiebreaking system used for draft order and playoffs seeding was:
However I must have made a mistake when entering the order or I never actually did that myself and just went with the standard order?

We voted on a new tiebreaking system for bottom 6 order in the draft to make things more fair for those teams. but we did not do this for all tiebreakers.

I'm not really sure what to do here but I think fixing the order to the original settings is probably the best thing and then we can vote to change it in the offseason. I will check the waivers for last week to see if the 3rd tiebreaker changed anything and will fix that.

Apologies for the confusion.

Thanks

Love the trade for the LOLs.

Love that Foster went from #1 in the whole league to the equal of an older RB playing on an awful offense. Would you trade MJD for Best and Maclin? What signs have you seen that JAX is ready to breakout?

Wonder if Ibav would have done the trade without the Foster/MJD switch involved.

All that said, I get why he did it, considering he had no first and obviously wasnt going to make a playoff run, gaining a first is pretty valuable.

1) Would I trade MJD for Best and Maclin?

No. I think MJD is in the latter half of his career, so while he may still be productive, he isn't as valuable in trade.

2) What signs have you seen that JAX will break out?

MJD has consistently produced regardless of how the team as a whole has performed. He is also a featured back and the best thing about that entire team.


Yes, I knew I had no chance of making the playoffs. I figured I would take a sidegrade at RB, get myself a decent #2 WR and a 1st (which is exactly what I said earlier that I would trade rivers for), and set myself up to make a run next year.

Not to mention the fact that Ben Tate is probably going to start splitting carries a good deal.

me: btw
in my other league
trade just happened
arian foster
and phillip rivers
for
Martin: wow

thats prolly a bad trade
10:47 AM WITH rivers

Martin: aw
well he had a good year last year
imo
10:56 AM me: clearly got luck
imo
*lucky

Just a fun discussion I had with my friend who doesn't know anything about this league. Just told him the trade and that was his reaction.

ftr, my interpretation is that he doesn't like your side of the trade, systolic.

The best part is how you are burning a bridge with a potential trading partner that you perceive as dumb.
