New version.  Puts all the data entry on one page (aside from roster entry), and then performs lookups to populate the individual team stats.

And I'm doing much better this week.

Today's answer to "Why I can't keep track of how bad my fantasy football teams are" is because, as usual, I can't do data entry.

I missed two fumbles for Carson Palmer (Tim pointed those out).
I missed a 2PAT reception for Joe Horn.
I missed two touchdowns for Kevan Barlow.  (Touchdowns?  How did I miss entering TOUCHDOWNS?)

And there's still a mystery.  I'm still off by one for Fighting Pike (the Silver Tigers' opponent), and it's the Indianapolis defense; by my calculations, they had 3 sacks (+3), one pick (+2), one fumble recovery (+2), and had 22 points allowed (+0 for 21-27). (I realize the Jets scored 28 points, but 6 of those don't count against the Indianapolis defense by Yahoo! rules.) That's 7 points. Yahoo! says Indianapolis has 8 points, and I don't know why. (Tim, if you can tell me why, I'd appreciate it.)

No, that's just "data error".  "User Error" is agonizing over whether to start Philadelphia or Pittsburgh, then switching at the last minuted to the wrong one.

18-point mistake cost me the game in two leagues.  I played well enough to win all four, but that defense switch snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.  *sigh*  If only rosters locked earlier ... or Philly had played at noon.

If my data are right:

Green:  62-37 up, pending Berrian for me and Muhammad, Clark, and Bears Defense for opponent.  I've got a chance there.  (Opponent also has a kicker on bye and could switch, but neither Gould nor Rackers is available (I actually picked up Rackers this week in that league but didn't play him).)
Silver:  63-89 down, with Clark for me and none for opponent (again, opponent has a kicker on bye but neither Gould nor Rackers is available; again I have Rackers).  I am doomed.
Black:  68-72 down, with Rackers for me and Berrian for opponent.  A remote chance there.
Orange (Tim's league):  74-57 up, pending Rackers for me and Jones and Bears defense for opponent.  I've got a good chance there.

My best hope:  Hey, the Bears can win 73-9, just as long they don't throw to Muhammad, Berrian, Clark, or Jones, and don't score on defense, and don't hand Jones the ball much.  And don't force turnovers.  And give up those nine points to Rackers.

Yeah, so I missed the Brunell-Moss 2PAT.  That changes scores in three leagues (since I'm going against Moss three times); I've made the edit.  The other numbers I agreed.

Still, if Jones and the Bears only score Yahoo! projections, and Rackers scores at all, I'll survive.

Rackers missed two field goals, and I think I still survived in both Orange and Black.  Silver was doomed.  Green ... I'm not sure.  If Hester's punt retrun counts for the Bears defense in that league, I lost 64-63; else I won.  EDIT:  It didn't count; I won 63-58.

This is the first week I've won in all 3 leagues I'm in.

I'm 4-3 in my ESPN league, with the most points scored (by 35), and most points against (by almost 100).

I have Orange 98, Reed 102 going into monday.  You miss Palmer's Fumble?

Maning and Wayne had a 2 point conversion, so that's probably the 4 you're missing from the steeds.

Hope MN puts up 36 points.

Predators are up 55 going into Monday, opponent has Brady and Taylor playing, so I'm PROBABLY safe...

Scrubs win 103 to 53 (I could have done better starting Grossman).

ESPN league I lost by 3 to a dead team   I HATE that.  I'm still the highest scroing team in that league though.

Bush's pick is pretty understandable to miss.

BTW, I'm 90% sure a win will clinch a playoff spot for me in the No Fun League
