We'll see how it plays out. My QB's and team Defense seem so-so. The rest will be ok.

Zorrukk seems to have a very solid team

Anyone have any good links to a how-to guide for american football?

Im not sure what you are looking for exactly but try these links.

http://www.nfl.com/fans/rules/

http://www.ffbookmarks.com/nflrules.htm

If these arnt what you are looking for could you give a better description on what you are (looking for)

Ive had 1 trade offer so far, this is good. I get the sense yall are happy with your teams so far but I am looking for a good back-up RB and a starting TE. I may wait on week 1 to see if my TE does anything, but send an offer my way. Ive got 2 WRs im willing to give up and Plummer.

Let me know if yall have any feelings about scoring, lets try and get it nailed down before the season starts.

I think the scoring needs to stand. I based my draft on the scoring that was up.

I've got a bunch of receivers to trade for an RB. Hearst and Green are decent, but I'd like a RB that's not splitting time. I'd trade a couple good receivers and a split back for a good RB.

Last one to draft, I hope I can pull through . . . Harrison i guess can put up some numbers with carolina DEF . To all, gl and hf with FF!!

Season starts tomorrow...good luck all


How'd you get Harrsion if you were the last to draft?

Very Odd how I have nobody in the top 40 in offense ranking when the computer did all my picking for me . (I would have expected atleast one in the top 16 and another in the top 32)?

Yeah the cpu is wierd like that. It picks based on what your roster "needs" and what is avalible. Sometimes it makes good picks but other it flakes on, like picking up a injured player or something.

After reading the trade rumors about STL and MIA I quickly picked up Harris. It was only today that I realized that I read wrong and it was infact Gordon who had been traded. I made an even quicker move to add/drop the two.

Also, I think we have had our first trade:


I realy needed a more productive TE, I hope Stevens can be that player and I feel I traded down for RB but I have early bye weeks that need to be filled. Watts was a sleeper pick of mine, but I got Nasty Nate of the Vikings on my roster so im not too worried.

We got IND vs NE tomorrow and I am expecting it will be a good game. I got Dillion playing and my Davis has got Brady. Hopefully he will be handing it off mo

Good luck everyone!

EDIT EDIT:: False Alarm It was just Stat Traker that was messing up. Im not going to be paying for it this year if it keeps working (not working) like it is tonight. It isnt even updating on its own.

How is it working for yall?

Avian Football League 2007 Forum Thread

Yea, StatTracker doesn't work for me either. Is it working for anyone? I thought it was really cool last year to have it open while watching the games.

The Criticals (0-1-0)

Brady, 29.83
Tomlinson, 13.28
Gates, 12.20

It really came down to the wire, especially with S. Smith of Car going out in the 4th. Did anyone watch the Seattle vs New Orleans game? Was J. Stevens, the SEA TE playing or did he just not catch anything? Any info would be great, thanks.

Side note: StatTracker says Jake gave up a Fumble. This is incorrect, I watched the game

Great opening week guys, congrats and good luck next week.

My low life team did ok, I will have to see who i can pick up on waivers/free agency. My WR's are about as bad as it gets. I can't expect that production from Curtis Martin every week.

Then again the Commandos are stacked

Between Season endding Injuries and last player point scorers (culpepper) Im looking at a very slow start. But I will be in contention..

Shadow's
(AKA Sharc)

Testaverde (the league's leading passer) is on the trading block if your QB just isn't cutting it. I need an ok RB or good WR.

I'll be missing the Jets this week and I'm not too hopeful of any success.

Also, I have Bledsoe as my backup if anyone wants to trade for him .

Ah the bye weeks. A change to give second or third rate players a chance to shine. The players im giving a chance to are Plummer (Den), Stecker(NO) and E. Conwell(NO). They are playing Stl this sunday so I am optimistic. Plummer is playing SD too so things are looking good on paper for me.

It would be great to see some trades but for right now Im doing ok (ie not willing to give up anything )

Good luck everyone, I will post my box score Sunday night since DF nor I have players in Monday night's game between DAL and WAS.

BEWARE!

Those of you with players in the Miami game, the game is listed as postponed. This really sucks if you have a player (like I do) in the lineup.

I started watching the 1 o' clock games and after only geting 3 points with like 4 players I thought I was sunk this Week. Glad that didnt happen

I dont think I can keep this 2 game 'streak' up though, next week I have a bunch of players on bye and going aganst Rom. Good luck to everyone next week.

Crummy match, tons of TDs I could've had I didn't.

Oops I'm totally out of this with my mobo problems...Hope I'll be able to catch back when my computer will be fine.

Flyoc,

Week 4 starts in an hour! Good luck to everyone, especially the owners who have made somewhat drastic changes to their rosters.

Also, I have Stat Tracker, so at any point during the rest of the season if you want a live update just send me a msg via msn or aim.

Since both Rom and I dont have players in the two night games I will edit in the box score.

Bettis, 12.45
Brooks, 10.20

Low scoring week, imo. I guess its due to the bye weeks and that some teams arnt changing up their lineup... if this gets to be a problem we might have to figure out something. For right now I will be sending some "inactive" teams emails to re-perk their interest.

Good luck next week and Kaz, youre going down!

Yeah, I think I'm pulling off my first win, but only because of a dead team. I'm trying to completely overhaul my roster, we'll see how things go.

I'm not inactive, and I think I just set the record for the lowest scoring week. My team is CRAP this year. The only bright spot is Culpepper for QB, and he had a bye this week. 33 pts so far, and unless Kevin Johnson manages to break the NFL's scoring record tonight, I'm sunk.

Man I better pull this one out, last week was such a drag. The Commandos need 3.5 points from KC's D to pull out the win. Can it be done?!?!?!

Ah, I didn't realize you had Culpepper with a bye. I was thinking, who in their right minds starts a Minnesota player while they are a bye. You started two Seahawks, the D from the Cowboys, and a Vikings receiver. They are all on a bye. So, I just naturally assumed that you were inactive. If you're not, though, unless you got horrible picks for everyone being on a bye at the same time on your team, you need to pay more attention. I'm one of the most beatable teams in the league, lol. I'm working on changing that, but I'm not expecting much success.

Think you got the wrong team bub. My D is Baltimore. and I don't have any Seahawks.

Yall are talking about

The Vikings
Owned by: Aubai

He had 4 players on bye this week, icluding his DEF. I have no doubt he is inactve since he had players he could have played but didnt do so this week. Also, he has 2 players on bye this week.

Phew!

Squeeked out a win this week. Gratz to all who won, and better luck next week to those who didn't.

Don't go inactive now, last year we had a few teams make a run at it after the first half and make the playoffs.

I didnt get Hasselbeck off the wavier wire but I still have NE DEF, WAS DEF, and a bunch of second-rate RBs up for trade. If you got a good TE or solid backup reciver, send a offer my way.

Week 5 starts in 45! Im playing the mighty Kaz Kickers, and as I look at my lineup, Im thinking I will have to have a great day to beat Kaz. I just read the D. Davis for HOU is starting after not practacing the whole week (make that 2 weeks almost) so this should be interesting. Only time will tell, good luck to everyone and remember if you want a live update at any point during todays games just send me a message on MSN or AIM.

The Criticals vs. Kaz Kickers

The Criticals (4-1-0)
Total: 94.13
Leaders:
Walker, 20.60
Plummer, 17.80
Jackson, 14.57

Kaz Kickers (3-2-0)

Leaders:
IND, 22.50
Barber, 19.67
Harrington, 12.25

WHEW! That was close, I won on the last play the Pack made tonight, a touchdown pass to Walker. That was a great game Kaz, we each held the lead for a good amount of time. Dispite the heart attacks I wish every week was like this. Congrats to all the winning owners except Arindel (You could have won with almost anyone) I will be reminding Flyloc about how football works, ie the Bye weeks.

Good luck to everyone in week 6, you know where I will be, sitting with my statracker flipping out about every dropped pass and fumble
