it has been awhile since i have been to this thread....but with the new season starting in less than two weeks i propose that we ditch the notion of having a single LOST thread to discuss everything LOST and have one thread per episode....perhaps labeled "LOST - Season 2, Episode 1."
Personally i just think that would do a lot to organize our thoughts and make it at least possible for the discussion to be researched at a later date. Say for example, we are discussing episode 13 and then someone thinks of something back from episode 2. Rather than having to score through a thread with well over 1000 posts, you could easily go back to the episode in question and find our comments.
Like i said, this is just an idea but IMHO i think it would add to our LOST experience. What does everyone think?

that is tough to swallow considering he was my first pick....i too have thought of that though. my biggest problem with sitting willis is that even if he doesn't get a ton of yardage, he is such a good goal line back that i think he'll get 2 TDs just from having the carries in the red zone.
hard to sit green/westbrook because of their receiving prowess
hard to sit anderson because he is denver's starting RB
at this point i think maybe green is the one to sit because detoit's D looked really good against us, the packers have lost a lot of talent on their o-line, and davenport looks to be getting some extra carries (more than normal).
keep the advice coming...PLEASE...and state the logic behind your choice

i am pulling my hair out trying to figure out who to start at RB:
need to start 3 RB's, here are the choices:
(1 reception = 1 pt, then the standard 10 yards = 1 pt for reception and rushing yards, and TD's = 6pts)
m. anderson vs miami
w. mcgahee vs houston
b. westbrook vs atlanta
a green vs detroit

i'm not going to go out and say that MW was the best RT in the league last year, but i will put him in the top 5 for sure. i would also say he was probably the best run blocking RT in the league.
second, in reading this thread i had an idea that i hadn't thought of before. perhaps the "plan" for MW was to ease him in the the nfl - its spead and physicality - by playing RT until Jonas left. ok ok, now jonas is gone and we have seen mike blossom into one of the best RTs in the league. i can't say for sure but i believe that MW is up for a contract in the next year or two. perhaps TD is thinking ahead and realizing it would be a better financial decision to put off the move to LT (LTs make A LOT more money) until after MW is under contract long term. mike would be able to blossom as a RT, perhaps we could find a cheaper solution to LT in the process during the years MW refined the RT position (gandy????), and we save 5 million per year against the cap because we pay him as a RT instead of a LT. crazy theory and probably way to overanalyzed, but worth consideration.

first, here's the trade i made:
andre johnson for stephen davis/santana moss
second, i am pulling my hair out trying to figure out who to start at RB:
need to start 3 RB's, here are the choices:
(points for receptions count)
m. anderson vs miami
w. mcgahee vs houston
b. westbrook vs atlanta
a green vs detroit

Sep 9 Chris Villarrial, McGahee's right guard who suffered a sprained ankle in practice Wednesday, should play in Sunday's opener against Houston but will be less than 100 percent, The Sports Xchange reports.

i have no patience for SU football. when they suck they really suck...i'll watch them when they are at least decent though. maybe next year...or they year after

this has been quite possibly the most boring game i have ever seen. defenses haven't even been that good. lack of yardage and poeints has been poor execution and playcalling - for both teams. SU was EXTREMELY fortunate that WVU had slippery hands today and almost fumbled the game away.
the most telling stat of the day: there was not ONE single third down converted until the fourth quarter started - for EITHER team. YIKES! ugly ugly ugly football....and this is coming from a fan a defensive minded football. wow. just wow

actually from just watching the game once i noticed a different JP depending on the drive that was going on. early on he looked to stay in the pocket a little and escape when needed. it was a take what is given to you approach. then he started feeling some heat or receivers weren't open when they were supposed to be and it was almost like once he got flushed out of the pocket once or twice he forgot that he could stay in the pocket after that. he was running everytime he felt wind of a defensive player within 5 yards of him. after one or two drives of that "attitude", i do believe he calmed down a bit and found some receivers the more conventional way, but he was still a little skittish in the pocket for my liking.
all that aside though, the man played the position of qb and played it well. 3 scoring drives is impressive, but even more impressive was the time taken off the clock during the drives because of 3RD DOWN CONVERSIONS. watch the cowboys and see the difference between how they fail to convert 3rd downs and compare it to us and you will see exactly what i am talking about.
if we can score 17 points in the first half every game and add 7-14 in the second half, our defense will do the rest and i guaruntee a perfect season. will we score 17 and 7-14 in every game? no. but if we did, the rest of the teams in the league might as well forfeit the season and start next year right now cause the bills have the superbowl locked up.

the more i think about it, friday night is just probably too much to ask for people to be here and spend time drafting. i will change the time to Tuesday at 7pm.
others please let me know if you can make it then. i will do my best to accomodate EVERYONE.

AHHHHH....yahoo messed us up. unfortunately there was a microcosmic moment of time where the 11th guy in our league signed up, yahoo attempted to start the draft and noticed an odd number of managers - then automatically changed the draft to an autopick draft, and then the 12th guy signed up.
unfortunately i cannot get our draft time back for tonight due to yahoo not being able to due instantanious changes. i can set the draft for tomorrow evening at 7pm or we can all select a time together. sorry about this...it was out of my hands.
is tomorrow okay for everyone? please post below or PM me about your preference i will set up a time most convenient for everyone.

I'm pretty sure you only had 4 last year.
You have 17 positions to fill. Each week there are 4 teams with byes, and lets assume 1 injured player per week(short term injury). That means you have to assume you will lose the use of 15% of your players each week. Keep in mind that is with 4 benches and 1 injury.
Don't get me wrong I liked the league last year, I just found that I was too often given a choice between waiving one of my better players or leaving a slot blank due to this.
That being said I'm still in and I WILL enjoy it and this will be the only time I open my yap about it.
EDIT: I wrote my original post before I counted the number of BNs you had this year.
first, thanks for expressing your concern. it is great to have active members in a FFL. i think that the issue of not having enough BNs has been addressed sufficiently...unless you think 7 is not enough...then let me know and we can discuss.
second, here is why i like the limited number of BNs. when you draft and trade you HAVE to account for things like BYE weeks. you cannot just grab players because you like them, you have to like them and do some long term planning. if you DO end up with multiple players having BYE weeks the same week, it forces you to either accept a 0 for their position for that week OR (which is a major strong point) increases activity in the league by stimulating trades, drops, waivers, and FA pickups. lastly, having limited BNs eliminates owners that get lucky during the draft/waivers/FA pickups and stash away talent - not to use the talent on their team but to prevent others from having the talent on their team.
having said all that, i am sticking with the 7 BNs for now, unless the league demands more or less of them. voice your opinions please....everyone.

I played in your league last year and I had one major point of concern of playing again this year. You have included defensive positions.
I like playing with the defensive positions but I found it very difficult to field an entire team with the limited benches. I usually had to waive a good player or leave a slot open for much of the season.
Sometimes this was due to injury, sometimes due to a bye week, or sometimes both. Can we expand the number of benched players we have?
i did increase the number of benched players this year....although i think having the number low added a little more strategy into the whole league. last year i had either 4 or 6 benched players....this year i selected 7 bench players and actually decreased the number of starters from 18 to 17 (i dropped a WR)
does this sound ok?
now that i think about it though i almost don't like the 7 bench players. 5 or 6 might be sufficient. what does everyone think?

I don't agree with every detail of the scoring system, but I think it is better than most. I was wondering the other day why most leagues tend to suck so much?
My boss asks me if I want to join his Fantasy Football League this year and I immediately say yes.
Then he emails me the rules and I think "maybe not".
No points for a fumble recovery on defense, 1 lousy pt for an INT. 6 pts for a TD - OK fine. But 3 lousy points for a 100-125 yard game for a RB/WR, and 3 pts for any FG? 5pts for a 50+yd FG? By that system I may as well draft a Kicker first. Three chip-shot FG's apparently equals a 120yd, 1 TD game by a WR? Also no negative points for int's thrown by a QB. A QB has to throw for 300 yards to get any yardage points? A RB that runs for 99 yds & no TD's is 0 pts...ok.
And oh yeah, defense....A D that gives up 6 points and only gets 1 turnover should be worth more than one that gives up 40 pts and forces 4 turnovers.
so what details of the scoring system i devised should be changed in your opinion? like i said, i am open to suggestions.

if you are not present for the live draft then the yahoo will automatically draft players for you based on their rankings - that is UNLESS you modify their rankings to your liking
