I think it's the worst kind of loss in fantasy.
It potentially happens through all the Sunday games but it's magnified if it's Sunday night or Monday night when games are closer to being settled and it's the only game going.
I'll use last night as an example though it's a pretty extreme example.
Through 3 quarters, guys with Sanchez, Matthews or the Eagles DST were giddy with the monster scores being put up. Well deserved, hard earned points.
Through 3 quarters, guys with Cam, Benjamin or any other Panther were licking their wounds.
So 4 minutes into the 4th quarter, Philly posts another score to make it 45 to 7. Then they quit.
Up to now, Cam has -3 pts, Benjamin has 3. (I mention these 2 only because they were the most likely started in fantasy and "garbage time" doesn't usually impact RBs like it does QB, TE and WR.
Over the course of the next 10 minutes, Cam raises his fantasy output to a nearly respectable 16 and Benjamin ends with a healthy 22. The Eagles DST dropped from 41 pts to 33 pts in this span also.
Now there are a lot of scenarios I could hypothesize but truth is often more astounding than fiction, but if I had started the Eagles DST and needed 35 to win...and with 10 min to go I was up by 7. And then I had to watch a QB and WR that couldn't hold their panties up for 50 min against my team suddenly knock my score down by 8 against 11 no name "clean jerseys"...Well...what a crappy way to lose.
But that was hypothetical...I want REAL stories from both sides.
How did garbage time win/lose you the game last night?
