I went to bed Sunday night with a 1.6 point lead. Both of us were finished playing, and I thought Dez had taken me to the championship. Woke up Monday morning to being down by .4 points. Falcons sack got taken away and I now lost.

Made two changes that I am now regretting.

1. Changed out Tate for Watkins. I held on to Watkins all season, hoping for him to come back and return to form. After playing most snaps in week 14, and a match up with the Browns, I thought he would have been money. Tate was playing the Giants and they shut Dez out the week before. Made the switch. Watkins scores 2, Tate scores 20.

2. This one isn't as bad. I would do it again probably. Picked up Taylor and benched Cam. Cam has been shite all year. Cam of course out scores Taylor.

Now all I can hope for is a stat change back in my favor to give me the win back. Sucks....

FYI, Jimmy Graham had a stat correction that took away a catch for 0 yards and called it a run.

You had some bad luck this week

12 man 1PPR League, 2nd Place playing 6th place team. Lost by 19.5.

1. Debated either starting T. Williams or Ty Montgomery over Dhop (16.70). Started T. Williams (6 pts) instead and Montgomery put up 30.3 pts. Opponent had Rodgers and I wanted to counter with Montgomery put couldn't pull the trigger; even had a gut feeling he would do good.

2. Starting Rawls knowing the LA Rams had a good run D. Knew Landry would get some check downs with new QB (which he only had 4 targets), but instead Landry gets a 66 yard TD catch. Rawls 5.90 pts vs Landry 19.80 pts. Not that mad about Landry as much as starting Rawls.

3. Not picking up Alshon last week and dropping Kelvin B.. Opponent picked up Alshon (20.90pts).

4. Not pulling trigger on starting Dolphins D (23.0pts) against the terrible Jets. Thought it was too good to be true, but boy did I fail on that one. Had the Chiefs D vs TEN (8.0pts) so not the terribly mad.

5. Not my fault but opponent had the best game of the season this week in the semi's.

Still could have avoided it. I'm pissed at myself about Tate. He was solid all year and I switched him out for a person who has done literally jack shite. Trying for the home run instead of safety cost me big time.

After scoring 10 then 5 points in the previous two weeks, I benched Brees on the road at Arizona for Phillip Rivers, Brees outscored Rivers by 15 and I lost by 8.

Also, still sticking with Brandon Marshall was a bad decision as well.

Another move I debated making all week and didn't pull the trigger on. Knew I should have picked up Rudolph and gone with him over Graham. If I would have done just one of those 3 moves I easily get a win.

Oh well.

Any chance the Graham catch gets concerted to a pass? That would give me the W.
