Starting half your team on bye is never recommended, but that’s exactly what happened in Thrice with Mexiq. The following four players on bye were left in the starting lineup:<\/p>\n
Matt Ryan
\nJulio Jones
\nMatt Prater
\nATL D<\/p>\n
Thankfully Chris Johnson was<\/em><\/strong> active and put up the best game of his season so far to account for 25 of Mexiq’s 39 points. Final score: 79-39. For those wondering, the best players off the bench would not have netted a win. A fact not lost on Dan upon the commish levying a $2 fine for the roster violation:<\/p>\n I don’t know why I didn’t fix that, would have lost anyway so don’t feel so bad I was hung over and still coming down from my mighty Blue Devils football win on Saturday night. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n Duncan & Kalb have offered to cover the $2 fine as a thank you for the easy week and remaining undefeated. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Starting half your team on bye is never recommended, but that’s exactly what happened in Thrice with Mexiq.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":129,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,22],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3684","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","category-qfl-thrice"],"post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.qballers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3684","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.qballers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.qballers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.qballers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/129"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.qballers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3684"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.qballers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3684\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3929,"href":"https:\/\/www.qballers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3684\/revisions\/3929"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.qballers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3684"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.qballers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3684"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.qballers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3684"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
