pa1adisiacti0n p0lyhedr0n - the rookie experiment

[paladisiac]

the rookie experiment has begun for me with a loss in a low-scoring affair. i had a shot going into mnf before i found out (too late) dwight smith was deactivated. i still aim to make the playoffs, but if not, take as many of you down with me as possible. :)

Dwight Smith (last-minute deact), my OL and receivers let me down in week 1. Smith is back but gallery is down so i fill in with a texan at the colts. i hope the receivers can pick up the slack this week vs vegas blitz.


[EDIT: Westbrook's injury could herald the debut of reggie bush for the p0lyhedr0n.]

damn phi rb situation. ... no matter, the rookie experiment chugs on at 1-1 barring a miracle.

[paladisiac]

now 1-2, but i posted the 4th-highest score of 442. (kinda reminds me of last season.)

reggie wayne's possible absence will hurt.

barely won a game in week 6 to split 1-1 with 416 points which just happens to be my season avg ppg so far. a lot of teams around the same avg ppg with only 1 significantly better, hogs at 434.

[paladisiac]

500 points. now 5-4, 1 game off the div lead, #2 in avg ppg.

[paladisiac]

well, i'm #2 in scoring in the league but have a 9-8 record and am on the way-outside looking in as both 10-7 teams fighting for seed #6 play weak opponents.

This reminds me of missing the playoffs in league 8 last year despite being the #3 scorer or ALMOST missing the playoffs in league 1000 last year despite leading the league.

i need to outscore the florida tide by 62 points to lead league 1000 in scoring for two straight years DESPITE overhauling most of my team for young players! i find this accomplishment incredible.

look for me to make more trades come january! :)

My tombstone reads "#3 scoring team doesn't mean a DAMN thing -- see you in the afterlife (2007)". 7672 to tide's 7816.

Ditto for me being the #4 scoring team and missing the playoffs by a 1/2 a game. Dang it. Owell.

Score 520 and lose!!!! I guess that is payback for making the playoffs with such a crap point total?
