Default No guts, no glory

I was on the verge of just leaving well enough alone on the strategy that my opponent has Marvin Harrison and keeping Manning in would offset any points he would get that way, but then was struck by thye thought that this would be playing not to lose rather than playing to win. As it is, my opponent's QB is Rivers and I have Antonio Gates, so that should take one weapon away from him.

Bottom line is, my best running back, McGahee is on a bye week and I need points. The point about Dallas' D was valid, I think, so I'm going to really gamble even though I fear Favre is potentially a Willie Mays-like end of career embarassment, his stats against all but the best pass defenses he's played (Bears & Eagles) are right up there with Manning's and I think the Cardinals are a dead team.

Looking for many Lambeau Leaps by WRs on the highlights today.

I forgot it was a offline draft... if it was a live draft, I would never waste a high pick on a QB.

Since its a offline draft, you are pretty much just praying to get some good guys.

good luck with farve today.

I obviously can't handicapp games for shit, but I'm not a complete fantasy idiot either.

Favre had an ok day, at least.

Three points.

1. Favre gave me pretty much what I wanted.

2. I obviously never thought Manning would have close to his season's best statistical day against Denver's D. Favre gave me more points than I thought Manning would.

3. My opponent had Ladanian Tomlinson, who went absolutely wild. Had I started Manning, I'd still be 11 points behind going into tonight having to make up that deficit with 2 players (Chad Jackson and a Minn DB whose name I can't remember) vs, 1 player (a Minn WR). As it is, I have 24 to make up.
