Punt return TD seconds before the end of regulation, wow, what a way to lose the game @Jets!  I can't complain since i have Pats D/ST, those points could be decisive in a super tight match with Barbarians.

Jets coin flip dude is still undefeated though...👀, that's 10 in a row!

Wow as a giants fan it's been a pretty disappointing day but Detroit pretty much ran the giants end to end no drama.  As a jets fan that hurts.  A huge game in division for the jets, and after all those Brady years this was their chance.  That's why you watch!  I can't wait to see the Dallas/minn game.  Of course I'd like to see the cowboys lose but I just want to see a good game out of this one.

Yeah, brutal match, that last second NE TD could be the difference.
Hope not, I'm a NE fan, it was tough to watch.

I wanted to see that flag for the block in the back on the 5 yd line!
I'd kick that retard to the curb that made that worthless block in the back if I was Belichick.

Perine putting up all the Bengels points is not helping me at all, WTF!

[ChiBitCTy]

This has been a tough year for me. My other two leagues I’m doing well in but injuries are stacking up and likely to keep me from the promise land per usual lol. I don’t mind losing, like in this league my team just isn’t that good, but in my other leagues it’s the losing due to injuries (mostly or at least partly) that is brutal.


Losing to Hampz this week surely knocks me out of contentions. Ah well.

He is the dark horse, gave me 2 losses!

Yeah I'm pretty content in this league.  No chance for winning so no stress each week 😄

In 1st and 3rd in my other leagues they have faired better than this year's squad here.  Running back situation is rough.

I have been presently very lucky this year and also lucky from the beginning when I was first to pick in the draft. Picking Christian McCaffrey instead of Jonathan Taylor helped carry my season. It appears that the advanced data analysis of my computing cluster of 1000 gameboys made the correct calculations including being traded to San Francisco hehehehe.

In any case, there is a new website for fantasy sports for the cryptospace called Draft Apes.

But it has a different format where players are required to pick players under a salary cap and the games are played weekly instead of for a whole season.

The development team has much to do, however. I suggested that all teams of the players should be transparent after the games start for everyone to verify if all of the teams have really made the points they have. Presently everything is hidden.

tẁΈńtĩώãn VS  South Park Q/Cows Reloaded

Match of the week, Two Dark Horses with great lineups on the road to the playoffs clashing.

BTW, Great match this week Mo!
Both of us exceeded expectations and put up more points than any other team!

tẁΈńtĩώãn VS  South Park Q/Cows Reloaded

Match of the week, Two Dark Horses with great lineups on the road to the playoffs clashing.

This is basically a playoff game already, we are both on the hunt and the winner will position themselves as the main candidate to try to snatch one playoff spot out of the 4 top teams, and whoever losses will most likely be out, as even if the loser of this game could win the 3 remaining games there is no guarantee that will be enough to get to the playoffs.

Which is bad news for me as I do not think Fields will play due to his injury and I will need to play Brady this week.

I was thinking about this. How many regular season games does each of us need to be assured a playoff slot? A quick look on the present situation of our league's standings, it might be 10 wins? Top 4 is very close together, however, 5th place is where it begins to have some distance in between.

With four games remaining and with the top teams on the hunt with a 5-6, the number of wins needed to secure a playoff spot are indeed ten, however if I remember correctly the tie-breaker is points scored during the season and all the four teams at the top have the tie-breaker on their favor, if they can maintain this stat on their favor then they only needed nine wins to secure a playoff spot, however there is only one exception to this so far and that is the Q/Cows and the Barbarians as I have the tie-breaker in my favor by less than 6 points.

So the Saylor Jerkers which already have eight wins only need and additional one during the remaining four games as that will put you four games ahead plus the tie-breaker in your favor.

Edit:

Basically yes, it is in your best interest to do so.

What do we have going on this week in our FF league and how this affects playoffs...

Upset win for Bengals against Jerkers, doesn't seem to do much for either team. 8-4 Jerkers will still be in the top spot due to the sheer amount of total points scored. Bengals have no path to the playoffs I think.

Yours truly beat Eli, which I really needed partly because of a stupid loss earlier in the season when I didn't replace an "out" player. 8-4 puts me in second place due to 160 points earned this week (thanks JJ).

This is where it gets a bit more interesting. Barbarians win again (end Rollers' hopes I think), 8-4, and move up to third spot even if Corpse can hold on to a 12 point lead against ChiBitCTy who has Najee Harris playing today (this one is going to be close). Barbarians earned 40 points more than Corpse and that's enough to gain a total points tie breaker as they were only ~12 points behind before this weekend.

And Corpse will be #4 with either 7-5 or 8-4, latter case will make all top 4 teams 8-4.

Then there is Cows vs the unpronounceable team name (let's call them HH). Cows have a 40 point lead, but HH have JT, so that one is not as obvious as Yahoo is making it seem with its estimates (95% chance of win for Cows). But assuming Cows win, that makes them 6-6, and the only remaining potential contender for playoffs outside of the current top 4.

Speaking of yahoo estimates...



Edit: I might have been wrong about the "no path to playoffs". In theory any team except Eli might still have a path, as there will be four of them with a 5-7 record (assuming ChiBitCTy wins) with 3 games to go and only 2-3 wins behind the top 4.

[Hueristic]

Great Writeup Suchmoon, that pretty much sums up where we sit atm!


I finally gave up on theilan last week and Grabbed Mooney and theilan went off (against the Pats D no less!) and Mooney is now out with a season ending injury, you cant make this shit up!

Hopefully I get Mixon and Fournette back soon.

Taking out the top team, nice job nutildah!

And Nice Job as well Cows your a Contender!

As SM mentioned it looks like ChiBitCTy will take out the Mighty Taco Corps.

That really was a great match you guys, this league has been a real close one with alot of important matchups lining up each week.

Whats nexts week big Match?

[nutildah]

You and I of course - could be for the lead if Eli can manage an upset against Jerkers.

Also Cows vs Corpse, especially if the latter lose today - that'd be a fierce fight for that last playoff spot.

Holy shit that would be wild, never expected with my start that I'd have a chance at the top spot!

Oh yeah these guys both have Monster teams and I'm not sure which one worries me more!


Team Depth has been critical this year.


Added:

Harris pulled him self out of the game .72 points from a Taco corp ChiBitCty tie!

Lol anything trailer park boys and you’ve got my attention. I was actually planning on watching a little bit of it after the game tonight.

Speaking of, football hasn’t been very kind to me this year. I’ve don’t a legitimate job of gambling/betting games but when it comes to fantasy football I can’t keep anyone healthy. Deebo Samuel and Christian McCaffrey being the latest to add on to my mile long list. Ah well.

[suchmoon]

So that leaves no playoff chance for ChiBitCty - there are four 8-4 teams now, meaning that only teams with 5 or more wins still have at least some hope (3 games remaining in the regular season).

It also complicates the picture for the Cows... they need to win all 3 remaining games OR win at least 2 if one of the top teams loses all 3 remaining but then they also need to win the tie breaker with that team.
