But how about Felix Jones's 98 yard kick off return?

This already had me a little concerned about picking their defense because if the defense you pick surrenders enough points, you can lose some points too from your total. But like last year and the year before, I always pick Dallas's D/ST.

The password is 1313 (private group).

Originally Posted By DJ7K Gridiron Challenge is a fantasy football league thing where each week you pick players you think will perform well in their respective games on Sunday/Monday. Basically you'll pick 2 QBs, 2 WRs, 2 RBs, 1 TE, 1 Kicker and one team for Defense/Special Teams. In general you get to put together your own roster of players, but are given a $50 million salary cap. And the objective is to create a roster that can score you good points while staying above the salary cap. Now last year once or twice I ended up having 0.0 on my salary cap after making a roster, so I wrote to ESPN and asked if that was ok and they said yes. Best way to know is by checking to see if it's green or red (the numbers of your sal cap). If it's green, you're good. If it's red, you need to edit one or more of your roster picks. It will tell you how much each player is worth signing each week listed under "MKT" for (which I'm guessing stands for market). When I first did this last year, I thought I was picking a roster for the entire season. Fortunately, IMO, that's not how it works.

Originally Posted By DJ7K Yeah, and we scored more touchdowns too. But, they scored more points altogether, so it's a 3 way tie, we'll be ok though.
Originally Posted By TXDISNEYNERD I am doing better with this than I thought I would. Those Cowboys gave me a scare this week. Thank goodness they played good enough during the 1st and 4th quarter to make up for the crappy 2nd and 3rd.

My only question is after handing the ball to Barber and he wouldn't gain barely any yards, just run into a wall, how come they kept giving it to him when we needed to score? It was obvious their defense was too strong against any ground plays we tried. Ok, even if they gave it Barber, fine, but try it in the AIR if it's not working on the ground!

Originally Posted By DJ7K I would like to see our chances with someone like Brad Johnson, I think this would be his first regular season start with Dallas since signing last year? Weren't there a couple of other outstanding rookies we had that lost the job to Felix Jones? I wonder if they'll call them up now?
Originally Posted By TXDISNEYNERD I hope Brad does well. He can be a role model for all us 40 year olds. I also heard on the radio today that PacMan has been suspended indefinitely. I kinda figured that was coming. Our team is going to look very different this week, but maybe that is a good thing.
