Debo ended up having a quite (for him) afternoon. What a nail-biter win for the 9ers, though.  I called at the end of the third quarter that they were going to blow that lead.  I have texts to a buddy to prove it. 

Shanahan is a great play caller, but he sux at clock management.  He starts thinking about it way too late in the game.  Nice TD by Aiyuk to end it.

It appears the Bills made a show of it and forced OT.

I don't have the numbers but I think Brady wins like 80% of overtime games. Good effort by Bills... too little too late.

If I win versus Taco Corp and Maddogs lose versus Psychotics, I can go to playoff?

You would have to win by 18 points or more, otherwise Taco owns the total points tiebreaker.

I tried my best and I thought that Nutildah Jones left the game and would not change his line up hehe. However, I was shocked to see he was still alive and playing. He won by 43 points against the Psychotics. I am out?

@Heuristic. I thought you played this game every year. You also try your best next time, okay? Be snappy hehehehe.

@everyone. Who is your regular season MVP and your rookie of the year?

[Hueristic]

@Heuristic. I thought you played this game every year. You also try your best next time, okay? Be snappy hehehehe.

Didn't play last year and did zero studying up on new players so went into the draft a little behind the curve.

But I'm all caught up to speed for next year and I made the playoffs in another league that I didn't draft every single guy that got injured.

There's still a small chance that Taco can win your match.  If that happens he gets the fourth playoff spot with a record of 8 and 6.  If you beat Taco and Nutildah wins, then all three of you contenders will finish 7 and 7 which means it'll come down to tie-breakers, and I think Nutildah has that by a longshot.  

@everyone. Who is your regular season MVP and your rookie of the year?

I don't get sentimental.  If we rank players by who scored the most points for the team, that would have to be Josh Allen.  The numbers suggest he should get the award.

Lamar is out and my whole week looks gives a new meaning to "fantasy football", as in "a win for my team is just a fantasy".

I was monitoring the FantasyCast and I was wondering why Lamar was not scoring at all, at first I thought the Browns were just that dominant and he was having a bad game but then I saw he was injured and that is a shame, I like Lamar but it seems this is one of those years in which everything goes wrong for the team when it comes to injuries.

I don't have the numbers but I think Brady wins like 80% of overtime games. Good effort by Bills... too little too late.

I was watching that game and it seemed to be over at halftime but the Bills really fought hard to make a comeback during that game and even got the first possession at OT, but they let Brady live and we know what happens when you do not finish him.

Unfortunately yes, if you win and the maddogs win as well then you are out due to the tie breakers, however while we will be out of the chance to win the league, we still get to compete until the last week of the season on the consolation ladder.

@everyone. Who is your regular season MVP and your rookie of the year?

If we are talking about our FF teams then:

MVP: Kamara, Zeke has given me the most points but with Kamara in the lineup I have a chance to get a win but without him it is a lost cause.
Rookie: None.
LVP: Ridley, what a waste of a 3rd round pick.

But if we are talking about the NFL in general then:
MVP: Murray
Rookie: Mac Jones

I am not optimistic on Josh Allen on winning the regular season MVP anymore. He was not as impactful as I speculated in the NFL. I reckon Kyler Murray might be MVP. He might also carry the Cardinals to the Super Bowl.

@South Park. What is the consolidation ladder? Does that have prize money hehehe?

We also have a divisional game with Rams vs. the Cardinals. Cardinals only -3 in their home stadium?

[suchmoon]

Looks like Van Jefferson just sealed the playoff spot for Maddogs:

M.Stafford pass deep middle to V.Jefferson for 52 yards, TOUCHDOWN.

Edit - if not that then this should do it LOL:

M.Stafford pass short right to C.Kupp for 4 yards, TOUCHDOWN.

I guess I should say that if Sony Michel scores a couple of touchdowns, Taco still has a chance.

[bbc.reporter]

@suchmoon. Also, depending on the Cardinal’s and especially Kyler Murray’s reaction on the 4th quarter, he might be someone similar to Lamar Jackson. A player who was very good in the regular season, however, someone who cannot take pressure in hard post season games. Murray has 2 interceptions in this game. This cannot be the type of mistakes that should happen in divisional games.

I think Tom Brady might be in line for another MVP Season which of course is just absolutely crazy. I mean the guy just continues to defy logic and Father Time.

As for your comparison of Murray to Lamar Jackson, I certainly agree that I don’t think Lamar Jackson is a big time /big game player. He’s very good but comparatively to Kyler Murray I think Kyler has a sizably better arm and passing ability. Lamar’s QB rating this year is 87 and Kylers is 106. So, obviously a sizable difference.

[South Park]

Unfortunately there is not any money involved for us, but this is what I mean:

https://fantasy.espn.com/football/league/playoffs?leagueId=1730996465

There are two brackets, the winner’s bracket which consists of those which advanced to the playoffs and the consolation ladder which consist of those that did not.


So in the winners bracket we will see:

Manila Maddogs vs Moon Coiners
Tamalpais Temptations vs The Interwebz wheelz


While on the consolation ladder we have:

Mars Elon Muks vs Taco Corp
Bellevue Psychotics vs South Park Cows

The consolation ladder is not playing for the prize money anymore, just for fun and honor.

I agree Lamar definately has dropped off and the same with Josh.  In big time games he has been non existent at times.  If Brady charges into a #1 spot in the NFL it might be hard not giving it to him.  No rbs or wrs are in line for one.  Maybe Taylor if he kills the rest of the season but even then his team is sub par.  When Brady is around it's never a bad bet to bet on the guy.  F'ing brady....

Josh Allen may be having a bit of a regressive year, but personally I consider him a better player than both Lamar and Kyler. If I was starting a team and I had my choice between those 3, I’m picking Josh Allen personally. Josh Allen also has less to work with than those other two. He’s got Diggs but not a ton outside that as well as absolutely zero run game. That’s their big issue imo, they desperately need a decent running back.

AFA  2021 FF MVP there is no comparison, it is hands down Patterson.





LA Rams hit hard. 13 players are on COVID-19 protocols

That means that the LA Rams training facility has been shut down and the team will conduct all business remotely over the next two days or possibly longer. The NFL/NFLPA have agreed to enact enhanced protocols for situations like this. Right now, the LA Rams are enacting all required protocols.

And the Browns are not in a much better shape, in total there were almost 100 players on the covid reserve list as of Tuesday, it is going to be interesting if Goodell actually fulfills his promise of not moving games and force teams to forfeit the game if they cannot play due to covid issues.

The NFLPA wants for daily testing to make a comeback as under the current rules only those that are unvaccinated have to go through it while the vaccinated only have to be tested once a week, and taking into account the state of crisis the NFL is in I think they will get their way.

I thought more than 70% of the players in the NFL are vaccinated. I assume the vaccines procured by the NFL are Pfizer and also Moderna? It appears the vaccines are not working as they promised hehehe. They said it will prevent you from getting the virus, however, there are many cases showing that you can get the virus after vaccination. I am very skeptical about the booster shots.

Also, does anyone like movies?

Yeah fantasy football might now come down to who can field a competent team lol.  On top of crazy injuries this next month a lot of guys will probably be going into protocol this month.  Whatever happens can the football gods please look over Jonathan Taylor for me.  If he goes I will be bent lol.

I honestly can't remember a season that has been so chalk filled with injuries.  I've been playing fantasy football for about 15 years now, and I've never seen anything like this.  Just lost another player of mine today for the rest of the year, TJ Hockenson.  Had high hopes for that guy going in to the year but I should have known better as Goff is just god awful and of course it's the Lion we are talking about. 

In other news, this is very sad to see.  My heart goes out to those players who are suffering with CTE and there's basically nothing they can do about it.  - https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/32882633/late-nfl-wr-vincent-jackson-found-stage-2-cte

The Chargers are looking good, except for those last two passes.  I get going for the TD on 4th down, but run the exact same play?  Anyway, it's good to see the Chargers being competitive, maybe they'll be able to fill the stadium soon.

Chargers deserve to lose it, forfeiting 6 (or was it 9?) points for no good reason in a game like this gotta be the stupidest thing I've seen this season, and I've watched a few Lions games.
