My entire team in the two games i faced Moon Coiners this season, 1 total touchdown (excl qbs), scored by a player that's not even on my team anymore. 

Anyway, how many wins do you think will secure a playoff spot? Obviously, nine means you are in, so i'm looking at eight wins and above-average Pts For. What was the tie-breaker in the event that two teams have the same record at the end of the regular season...h2h record, total points scored, or something else?

Yeah my team is quite sucky right now, but I got lucky...

Whereas Dire got unlucky to lose this week with a huge score like that.

Playoff Tie-Breaker:    Higher seed wins

Which, if I'm not mistaken, is based on "points for" when W-L is equal.

Edit: actually "playoff tie-breaker" might be about something else (perhaps if a playoff game ends in a tie?), but still - playoff selection should be based on the standings order on the "league overview" page, which is I think W-L, then "points for".

Edit2:

Regular season standings determine a team's playoff seed, matchup, and schedule. [...] In leagues without divisions, playoff seeds are based on overall standings.

Regular season tiebreakers
    Total fantasy points (season total).
    Fantasy points scored in the most recently completed matchup.
    Fantasy points scored in the matchup two weeks prior (this continues until the tie is broken).

Brady looking decent so far, never count out the goat.  When it's all said and done this year they will end up probably being one of the top teams in the nfc and Brady will work his magic in the playoffs.  I can just see it now.  

Just hope for ff he doesn't hit Mike Evans too much.  Going against Evans in a couple of my leagues.  

Hehe instead of revenge trading to get back everything he lost in one trade, he will release all of his anger, all of his frustrations, all of his disappointments on the football field. I might have made a mistake when I told everyone that Tom Brady will be distracted by the collapse of FTX. However, what the other teams can do against Goat Brady is stick these NFTs on the helmets of their defensive line hehehehehhee.

This will certainly distract him. NSFW

I'm not gunna get to crazy yet, but man this is pretty exciting for a guy who's best QB ever in their teams life time is...Jay Cutler 

I gotta say this made me laugh and recall playing cutler back in the day.

I couldn’t stand him and still can’t. Even when he was playing pretty well for us (which was very much just here and there), Jay is just an impossible guy to like. He’s kinda like the Paul brothers to me, just smug and arrogant and way overhyped.

We might just finally have a quarterback in Chicago.  Fields has been tearing it up the past several weeks and last week, holy shit, setting a new QB rushing record as well as throwing for 3 TDs, I don't even care that we lost the game.  My whole hope going in to this season for the Bears was Justin Field progressing and it's sure looking like that's exactly what's happening.  I'm not gunna get to crazy yet, but man this is pretty exciting for a guy who's best QB ever in their teams life time is...Jay Cutler 

It seems it is finally time for the bears to do well as we know that once you have a QB then it is easier to form a good offense around him, also the fact that Rodgers is playing awfully is giving you a nice schadenfreude right? It is impossible this is not the case as after having to deal with Favre then bears fans had to deal with Rodgers.

Yet another mostly stellar performance from Fields. I can’t believe this guy is all of a sudden potentially the best running QB in the league. I mean I still think you have to give that title to Lamar, but shit he’s not had games like Fields just had which is insane to me.  Oh and you better believe I’ve taken a ton of joy from Rodgers struggles. He did have a nice game this week but they are bound to miss the playoffs and that greedy mofo has to sit at home at watch. Honestly have to wonder if money means more to him than the game as this point.

Ohh, I agree! I didn't think he was ever any good but he could put up fantasy numbers just because all he did was throw long all day no matter what the coverage!


Well It was fun while it lasted and got me back into the game, 5 game win streak broken by Hampus today by destroying me with LT just like he did week 1 !!! Pretty funny the only games LT did anything were against me. Not that it matters I would have lost to everyone this week.

And he did it without a QB !!!!!!

Crazy indeed.. He's done literally nothing besides week 1 and now this week, lol.

Sorry about no QB btw, super busy weekend and never expected Murray to be out, yahoo app on my phone seems broken too so will have to try and fix that before this Sunday.

EDIT; Most .500+ teams lost this week, should make for an interesting 2nd half of the season

The game was started and it still had Murray labeled as questionable so not sure if yahoo had a glitch or not but at least it didn't cost you.


Yes I think LT is back now, Saturday is just the thing the Colts needed to rally around!

Unfortunately for them they are going to run into a steamroller next week after the fucking the Eagles took today.

And yeah its cool most of the lower ranked teams won against higher this week, always fun when its close!

[South Park]

EDIT; Most .500+ teams lost this week, should make for an interesting 2nd half of the season

This was a really important week for the league, it seemed the top four teams were running away from the rest, but with three of them losing this week this has increased the chances of 0.500 teams and below to try to get one of the spots to the playoffs.

I would like to get one of those spots but if I am honest the improvement of my team was just luck, I was fortunate to get Fields on FA and then he scored 90 points in two weeks, I have players in my team which have not scored 90 points all season, and now I have to face the Saylor Jerkers in a game which not will be easy, even if the Saylor Jerkers have four players on a Bye and one player listed as Doubtful.

At one point in time Cutler had the best WR duo in the league when Brandon Marshall was in his prime and Alshon Jeffrey was a young up and coming star.  He also had some solid TE help with Martellus Bennett ( I'm not sure I spelled that right but I'm too lazy to google it).

Yeah I'm happy with my win this week. If I have any chance at hell at making a playoff spot, I've got to go on a run.  I think I've got a chance if my RBs can be decent. We shall see.

I always thought Alshon never got the credit he deserved at that time and Bennett and Marshal were both a bit over rated.

Alston was a great wide receiver.  I even liked cutler, I liked his edge dude didn't care how big someone was lol.  Way different than Elias laid back attitude.  Bennett was also solid too, big with good hands.  Tight ends are getting to be like tall wide receivers nowadays.

There is a tendency of teams pushing big Wideouts to the TE position and bulking them up, the myriad of reasons not being just the lower cost to the team as much as of the combination of a higher quality pool of TE's.

Alshon had a really nice several year run there were he could be considered a top 3-5 receiver.  He never got to the level of Brandon Marshall, who in my opinion deserves to be a hall of famer, but he was certainly damn good.  I guess you do have a point there about Jay not giving a shit about who he was going up against.  He definitely had an edge to him in that sense.

@suchmoon. The tight end you gave me is defective. May I have a refund?

Was good when he left my team, you must have broken him.

Look on the bright side - he might be back before the playoffs.

[nutildah]

Its a real battle for last place this week between me and wheelz, but there can be only one.

Wheelz don't forget to put in a defense so you can beat me, which I'm feeling you probably will, given the shit luck I've been having lately.

Lost Kupp and M. Thomas, my two best receivers. Even with both Allen and Saquon Barkley my team has still been putting up shit numbers...

Well, someone has to fail so others can succeed. That's what I told myself when taking pre-med classes in college which were hard AF, and proof that I shouldn't try to be a doctor.

Yeah it's gonna be a tight battle.  I scooped up Washington's defense for this week they will be going in.  The question that is rumbling through my noggin this week is do I stick with amon st brown or do I go with Terry scouring McLaurin.  Will be a game time gut decision but that might have an impact to my bottom line.  My running back sitch is pretty bad this week, td dependent backs.  Good luck to you sir!

Which tight end are you guys talking about? I’m not sure which team BBC.Reporter is. Guessing you guys might be taking about Njoku? If so he did return to practice today for the first time and had a shot at playing this week. Even if he doesn’t, he’d likely return the following week and he’s going to be getting Desean Watson, a superstar, throwing to him come week 13 I believe it is.

[suchmoon]

Which tight end are you guys talking about?

Goedert. I traded him to bbc and he's out on IR now.

Ahh, yeah brutal loss, at least as of right now. Hopefully he’s back sooner than later.
