how did the f'n coboys get into the playoffs?

i m a vikings fan til i die; so i don't really pay much attention 2 the rest of the nfl. but i have been made aware (by press resources) that the cowboys pretty much collapsed (like a flan in a cupboard) in the regular season. but yet they get ino the playoffs. yes i m a "hater" because i know "the boys" r the brats of the nfl; they get what ever they want when they want it. & they prove it when they sign players like TO & bledsoe. they r also brats & they have something 2 prove. they r very good ball players & perhaps the best. but the only problem is "they know it". they will not play 2 the best of their ability until their career counts on it.

so what i m saying is; they did not deserve a playoff chance. and i m not saying my beloved vikes did. but there were other teams much more deserving; like the "packers" ect...

ahhhh, lets see. Easy to explain the cowboys were 9-7 and the packers were 8-8. GB's PF (points for) were 301, PA (points against) was 366, Cowboys were PF (points for) 425 and PA (points against) 355. So a difference of 124 points more and 11 points less against every team they played isn't significant? That's 113 points difference over the season, that's 16.1 TDs for the season, that's 1TD more than GB a game. The bare statistics would tell you GB sucks compared to CB (GB scored 301 points, the gave up 366 points, CB scored 425, they gave up 355) Cowboys 4-4 at home, GB was 3-5 at home. They were both 5-3 on the road. Dallas was 3-1 in the AFC, GB was 1-3 in the AFC (Cowboy's best represented the NFC against the AFC, no one else went 3-1 from the NFC against the AFC. Redskins, Bears, Panthers, Falcons, Bucs, Seahawks, Rams, and 49er's were all a close 2nd with a 2-2 record. GB was tied for 2nd to last, with 4 other teams, the only teams they did better was the Vikings, and Cardinals). Dallas was 6-6 in the NFC, GB was 7-5 in the NFC, although better, not enough to overcome the east. There's a reason the NFC East had three teams in the playoffs (EAGLES, CB's, GIANTS, in that well deserved order), while every other division in the NFC had 1, yes 1, their top team in the division in the NFC, the East just has the best, hands down. Even an AFC division couldn't match the NFC East this season with playoff berths.Yet you want to compare the Cowboys with the Packers/Vikings? Prove me wrong and I'll publicly apologize. If you can counter this, I will ask a question of your choice and pick you as the best answer with my apology under the "Asker's Rating"...

The Power of the Qb at the Flex Position

I hope you are enjoying what little time is left of the Fantasy off-season by studying hard and reviewing last seasons outstanding draft selections, and mistakes. I’ve enjoyed reviewing the Fantasy Jungle Draft for League 18 a few times with friends, and discussing what went so right for this squad that won an extremely tough league featuring three teams that placed in the Top 45 regular season scorers.

When discussing how this team won, my reply has been consistent; “Rex Grossman was available on the Waiver Wireâ€â€¦yup, even though we picked up Marques Colston off the wire after week #1, the key Free Agent was Rex Grossman. He added so much flexibility (no pun intended) to the lineup decision each week. How could a marginal QB do that? The answer is consistency, and plenty of it from the Flex spot.

Let’s take a look at the lineup requirements. Fantasy Jungle teams must start 2 RBs and 3 WRs each week, and that means 24 RBs at a minimum are started each week, while 36 WRs at a minimum are started. The weekly average for RB #25 (a RB filling the Flex spot) was 12.3 points scored; he’s the best possible scoring #3 RB available on average each week. The weekly average for WR #37 (A WR filling the Flex spot) was 11 points scored, representing the best possible scoring #4 WR available on average each week. I’m bolding on average because some teams obviously had a much higher scoring RB or WR filling the Flex spot, but that doesn’t affect the lineup requirement. The weekly average for QB #13 (a QB filling the Flex spot) is….16.1 points per game, a 4 point per week advantage over RB #25 and a 5 point per week advantage over WR #37. To equate that 16.1 to a RB weekly score, you would need to have 3 RBs that finished in the Top 11 in scoring on your roster. To equate that to a WR you would have to have 4 WRs that finished in the Top 11 on your roster, a much harder task at the draft. The QB that scored 12.3 points per game on average is QB #47! Your chances of outscoring the finest of WRs and RBs are substantial each week with a QB in the Flex spot.

The depth at QB is easier to deal with, when drafting a Jungle team it’s sweet to load up on WRs and RBs through 6 rounds and then start taking the QBs that are left. I was drafting in League 18 in 2006 and the 7th Round had Trent Green (my team), Mike Vick, Drew Bledsoe, and Brett Favre in it. Two guys that finished Top 12, and going on to later rounds Drew Brees, Philip Rivers, Jon Kitna, Chad Pennington, Steve McNair and Ben Roethlisberger were drafted. All but Green averaged better than 16.5 points per game, the equivalent of Reggie Bush at RB and Lee Evans at WR with a much lower draft day price tag. QBs are easier to deal with on a week to week starter basis, you can be confident that your guy is getting the start with certainty and can reasonably expect a quality score from him. If he’s faltering the head coach will pull a Mike Shanahan and announce that “Jake Plummer needs to play better or we’ll put the other guy in†giving plenty of fair warning for the Fantasy world to adjust their thinking.

There is one downside to making the QB your Flex player, and it’s fairly straight forward, and that is that the “upside†potential each week is limited. Although you’ll get a guy that is consistent and won’t pay a high price, the fact is that most weeks the Top scoring QB was around 29 Jungle Points and the 12th QB was right around 19 Jungle points, a fairly limited window of upside. The best way to look at this, is if you believe the rest of your team is strong each week you can take advantage of the Power Schedule with a solid known 16-19 fantasy points from this position, but it may cost you some potential wins because your team isn’t as explosive.

QBs are generally undervalued in Fantasy Leagues these days due to their numbers being so close on a week over week basis. I’m a strong advocate of waiting to take them in most drafts but the Fantasy Jungle has added a unique dimension to team building, and it brings the value back up for a forgotten position.
