Around SBN: On returning Clemson/South Carolina to National Importance

Colts-related fantasy anecdote

Back in week 2 against the Vikings, Tim Jennings had his first career sack and I was 2-0, having won my game by just under a point...or so we thought.  Four days later, the NFL decided that it was not a sack, rather, Tarvaris Jackson had run for a loss of a couple yards.  Jennings loses his sack and I lose my game by .02 points.  While it sucked, it was so early in the year that I couldn't get too pissed about it.

Fast forward to now, end of the regular season, and my league's top 6 teams are all 8-5. We award $100 for the regular season champ and so whoever scored the most points ended up winning that money (we have another $100 for playoff champ).  So in the end, that sack correction ended up costing me $100 and some bragging rights.  Awesome.

P.S. I lost another game 2 weeks ago by about half a point, based mostly on the fact that Lendale White finished with -1 yards. I hate the fact that I agreed with his fat little boy whining about not getting more carries against the Jets.

Poor Jennings, poor you

Last I checked, a QB run for a loss of yards is the DEFINITION of a sack.

No...

If you have a QB like Garrad or Tavaris Jackson or Ben Roethlisberger or Matt Cassell, etc… and the stat keeper determines that the play call was 100% a QB draw/sneak/run whatever, then a tackle for a loss is a tackle for a loss. Its only a ‘sack’ if the person taking the snap has any intention (in the mind of the stat keepers) of throwing the ball is tackled for a loss.

I lost because of Desean Jackson in week 2

Acting like a dumbass and throwing a touchdown to the ground. Now my team is 6-7, 1 spot out of the playoffs in an 8-team $25/person league.
If I don’t win this week and get some help I’ll be out of it, and I will never ever draft Desean Jackson ever. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I keep losing because I pick the wrong guy to start out of Brees and Cutler….

I had the same problem with Brees and Rivers earlier in the year. Ultimately, you gotta just suck it up and trade one before the deadline b/c a QB on the bench doesn’t help you in the stretch run. I managed to get Steve Smith (Panthers, not Giants) for Rivers and it’s definitely helped out.
