50/50? You mean having equally good and bad sides and the bad side happened? That 50/50?

NO I MEAN 50/50 LIKE THE RATINGS FROM PRO SITES WERE HALF FOR KAEP (WHO SCORED loving 36 THE PREVIOUS WEEK AND HALF FOR BRADY)

You got something better to do than to jump on a guy right after a poo poo TE scores 3 TD to knock him out of the playoffs?

Are you watching this game? gently caress no I don't have anything better to do than jump on the guy having a meltdown in the fantasy thread.

You chased the previous week, sorry, them the breaks. This meltdown was fun for a bit but now you're just acting like a little baby back bitch.

I, uh, emailed into CBS sports and they said it was the best one of the week, so... maybe find some other thing to analyze besides humorous lovely pun team names?

You gotta be a special typa guy to see a person suffering from a brutal upset and think, "yeah, I'll make fun of his [pretty good] team name." Thanks for making me feel better by showing me I'm not the biggest loser of the night.

Maybe it's the 3 shots of whiskey, or the other 8 shots of whiskey, but Del Taco drive through sounds really good.

Actually, yes it's the 8 shots of whiskey. But thanks for the solid idea

Drunk Nerds posted:

You're a fellow analyst so I gotta wonder... are you really wondering why someone started a player who scored 23+ in four straight games including 35-40 in the previous week... against a dumbass chicago Defense? Like I usually respect your opinions but the overall rankings of Kaep were at least 50/50 better than Brady?

Because it's Tom Brady.
Before last week he had:
Multiple TDs in every game but Seattle
250+ yards in every game but one
One interception on the year.

So his reasonable floor was 250 and 2.

Kaepernick was a swing for the fences move. I benched Stafford for him and felt hinky about it. Benching Brady for Kaepernick was defensible if you were a huge underdog and needed the 30+ point upside Kaepernick has, but if that was your situation you wouldn't be so mad now.

Also the Bears are sorta meh not really bottom of the barrel.

You... uhhh... you kinda lost a lot of my high respect for you, here:

You totally neglect to mention that Brady's main/only downfield receiver went out for season, and his other two top guys were gimped all week. Brady without Gronk averages under 7 yards per pass

In the past 4 weeks, Kaepernick (in my league's scoring, which you failed to inquire about,) outscored Brady by 25. He outscored him in 3 of the past 4 weeks including two weeks when he had double Brady's points.

You say Tom Brady's "reasonable floor was 250 and 2," but he ended up with 269 and 1... Which reflects his new floor when the gronk situation is accounted for. Surely you can see that saying "Tom Brady's reasonable floor was 250 and 2" literally 24 hours after he throws for 269 and 1 undermines credibility? I went for the guy that was surging against a meh defense, instead of the proven stud who has like half his weapons crippled. A disputable move? Sure, but to act like it was an obvious mistake is pretty low.

I think you're right and I'm sorry for questioning your decision. I had in my head that Brady was a start-every-week stud no matter what, but had not looked at the specific situation this week.

He wasn't making fun of your team name. He was showing appreciation for it. It is a good team name. I like it too.
