Reasons Fantasy Football Made Me Want to Punch a Baby This Week

I need a thread to be extremely angry in about fantasy football and I am sure alot of us need the same. So the league I started last year is a pretty popular league and somehow I managed to score the 2nd most points in the league, yet didn't reach the playoffs since the forces contrived against me every single week (aka the worst teams in the league would go off for a career night for about 130+ points).

So tonight, a victory looks well in hand with 5 minutes to go in the Chargers vs. Texans game. I had Gates left and he had Ryan Matthews, Texans D/ST, and Bullock. Rivers throws a pick 6, Matthews adds a point, and the clock gets ran down and my opponent all of the sudden is only down by 4. Turns out a 40+ yard field goal is only worth 4 points so I figure well fuck it, at least it is still a tie. Check the league rules and most bench points is the tie breaker...which I had one less point on my bench. Seriously, fuck my life.
 
RB, I know your pain. I routinely lead my leagues in points scored, and yet would often end up getting bounced in the first round, or not making the playoffs at all. In fact, my least favorite year was exactly that .... I scored 300 more points than the second best team .... I didn't make the playoffs.

I've never played in a league with a tie breaker like that. That sucks dude.

Fantasy football is a cruel, black-hearted, whore mistress that abuses us all from time to time.
But every so often, she pays off big.

Down 41 points going into MNF, I had good old Shady McCoy and Owen Daniels explode for 44 points and won my week one match-up by three points.

My money league I've been playing for 20 years...my opponent had Peyton Manning. I'm 0-1.

But at least my 2 BP league teams won.

Philip Rivers is death to FF. I had him as my QB a few seasons back. All he had to do was not throw a pick on the last drive and I would have gone to the finals. Bastard threw a pick and I lost by less than a point. I am in one league, picked my roster and now let my sons set the lineups.

Yahoo "grades" your draft going into the season. I received an "A", the best grade in my league. I'm 1-4, and getting blown out weekly. I've been torpedoed by horrifying RB (D. Wilson, Ridley, Richardson) play, underachieving QBs (Kapernick, Luck), and underachieving WRs (A.J. Green, Bowe). The only decent production I'm getting is from Clowns players (Cameron, Josh Gordon). I also failed to check my lineup before the games started this week, so I'm taking a goose egg from megatron. :facepalm:

After dominating my league for three years, it's very frustrating.

For all my moaning and groaning yesterday, I lucked out with Matthews being a turd for San Diego last night and I'm alive once again.

I have Matt Bryant kicking for the Falcons against the Jets. I need just 9 points to win.

All which means he goes 2/2 XP (2pts), 1 40yd FG (4pts), and breaks his leg attempting a 30 yard FG in the 3rd quarter.
