FFL: sMoRTy71 70, Bums 72
A coaching mistake and a former back-up player having a career day have cost me a win against Jim's Underachieving Bums.
At the last minute on Sunday, I picked up Muhsin Muhammed, who has become the number 1 receiver in Carolina after Steve Smith's season-ending injury, and benched David Givens, who is one of 6 or 7 targets for Tom Brady in New England. Bad move. Muhammed scored 2 points while Givens scored 11. Couple that with DeShaun (I was a backup until last week) Foster scoring 23 points for the Bums and I'm 1-1 after two games.
Watching the scores during the 4PM games was maddening because Jim had a defense playing and I had a RB playing. So every time the opposing team would gain yards or points against his defense, Jim's score would drop below mine. Then his defense would get a sack or an interception and his score would suprass mine. Then my RB would get a few yards and I'd be back up again.
My last chance to win the game came as Buffalo ran the ball with my RB Travis Henry on 4th and goal from the 1. Henry was stopped about an inch short thus costing me 6 points. Then Josh McCown, who may be the worst QB is the NFL, gave Jim's defense the 2 points he needed to win by throwing yet another interception in the closing minutes. Damn, I hate to lose like that!
