I've had my worst fantasy year in the history of my FGM days .....
shyt I was too. I'm in three leagues and already eliminated in one. Just got eliminated in the second after CMC got hurt again where a win would've had me in a 6 way tie for three spots. But I'm in a $150 league that playoff chances were looking grim but fukked around as I needed a win this week in a matchup where I was predicted to lose by 30. Somehow ended up winning. It's a 2 QB league and both of my QBs are on bye. Trevor Lawrence was gone start but that's up in the air now. I had Mac Jones but just dropped him before the week smh.

I got cute in the draft after taking CMC. I've learned this lesson before, taking an RB early after a major injury (last time I got cooked near this bad was with Burner Turner)

If Russell Wilson and Mike Tomlin are who some people on the coli say they are, I feel like anything less than the conference final at this point is a failure.

I don’t see how you can think Russ is “back” + Tomlin is a top 3 Coach, backed by an elite defense and have zero championship expectations.

I can see a scenario where they go 12-5 lose their first playoff game at home and people are like what do you want from them bro

Breh Russell was widely considred to be done. Folks questioned him even getting the job. It dont take nothing for folks to start on Tomlin. For them to be 2 games up in a division with Lamar and Burrow at this point is an accomplishment. Winning said division surpasses even the most optimistic expectations for them this season. We cant just throw championship expectations on them midseason...shyt late season after all that because a few posters have gotten on our nerves for, rightfully, given them credit for what they have done. You got Jordan and an ATG coach and strong defense in KC. You got 2 time MVP Lamar and unassailable Harbaugh in BMore, and you got Superman, odds on favorite MVP, was crowned after a playoff L 3 years ago Allen in Buffalo and the Steelers are the ones that should have chip expectations? Anything they do come playoff time is gravy.

But apparently he’s not done and back. So a “back” QB, elite top 3 HC, and a top ten defense should be expected to make some sort of a Super Bowl push.

Pre season expectations go out the damn window once December hits.
