1st quarter league thoughts

I must admit that I have not been as involved as I would like in league activities so far this year but I have still noticed some trends. We all tend to smear our own teams (except maybe shawn) focusing on our weaknesses. This leads to lots of woeful talk about how teams will perform and how badly they will finish. So I write this as unemotionally as is possible for me but I honestly think that my team is the worst in the league. Northwestern's collapse means that Sutton is no longer a #1 and maybe not even a #2 back anymore. Added to this problem is my lack of a top WR. The Indy step backward and the hardy mystery is killing me. The final nail is the typcial Tiller move of featuring one RB for a while and then after he scores 4 TDs switching to another back. The uncertainty with PU combined with a less potent Minn O (Pinnix) means that I am the only team in the league that cannot put one decent back in the lineup. My team boils down to two good Qs and that will only get me 4th place in the league. On the flip side, Jay has the two best RBS and two fo the best Qs. This makes him the favorite and only injuries will prevent his return to the Blue ox bowl. Andy and Shawn have a shot but if wells does not play and Daniels is out then I like Andy to face Jay. Of course, it's still early and injuries can change everything but it's clear that if things remain virtually unchanged I will looking up at all of you.

I'll break the trend. I do think the Goodgers are the best team right now. But I think any one of the Gopher three could be second. You are too tough on your team. Sheets is a great fantasy back and Pinnix seems to be the #1 back in Minny. Gonzalez is a legit #1 WR. Combined with your QBs and you can win.

The Farmers still have Hunt, Ringer, Caulcrick, Ginn and Williams.

I do think Spitz is positioned well. PJ Hill is on of the top 2-3 backs. Tony Pittman is a high quality back. Manningham (who had him on thier team last year?) may be the #1 fastay WR.

yes, I dropped young and manningham- great decisions. I would have traded Babe Ruth too.

Please subtract Ringer from the list. He suffered what looks be a season ending knee injury.

End of season predictions;
Gooders 1
Goblins 2
Spitfires 3
Farmers 4
