Thursday: PHI @ SEA

This is the last week to add free agents.

Yes, the color-coding is still imperfect. Click the appropriate link in my signature for official status.

Must win in GWJFFL2. Win and in, hopefully.

I'm just trying not to get relegated (assuming Grumps is exempt). I'm currently at 4-8, but have fielded more total points than three 7-5 teams in FFL1.

So all three 4-8 teams are pulling for me to beat Murderflies so they have a chance at the playoffs right? I like how the playoff page has scenarios and % chance for getting in.

I know I beat rabbit, so I'm just trying to match whatever he does to get the bye. It even has those out to the side, what we need to clinch bye or division. Nice.

Correct... unless you're volunteering to run GWJFFL1 next season.

Edit: Remember that you can still play your way out of relegation in the consolation tournament so pick up some good free agents.

Hmmm, if I read things right, even of I beat rabbit this week and we are both at 10-3, he would be in first place in our division because he has three wins in our division, whereas I would only have two, plus one of his wins is over me, right?

Actually if you win then your series would be split 1-1, and you would both have 3-1 division records. It seems like it would go to points for after that. But the playoff display gives you a 0 chance of winning the division.

I would think if you outscored him by 65+ this week you would win.

Ah, a bye. A week to relax...and watch the scores in the bracket below me.

By my reading, I get a bye as long as kush doesn't beat my pf and win and I lose. But I could be wrong.

Why didn't I leave the Seahawks defense in?

CJ Spiller is killing me. 16 in the first half already.

It's 2:30 on Sun, games are starting to hit the half, and I'm still in single digits. This is not going well.

Apparently I played the wrong Smith. Brad from Buffalo almost tripled up Steve from Carolina, even though the Bills lost and the Panthers crushed TB.

EDIT: And in contrast to the early games, now after the afternoon games 1st quarter I'm winning my game all the sudden.

... I would like to petition commish Grump to allow me to pick up a tight end in the keeper league if I make it to the playoffs. Apparently Fred Davis is going to be suspended for the rest of the season because of an offseason drug violation...

I'll consider it (and am taking input from any/all, either in the thread or via PM) but while I do... why don't you have a backup? Is a suspension any different from an injury in practical terms?

He already has Aaron Hernandez.

No... that is the other league. Read more carefully, I said keeper league.

I don't have a backup because it is a keeper league and virtually my entire bench is injured players that I can't drop or else I won't be able to keep them, or like Schaub who I likely won't keep, but if I dropped would enable someone else to pick him up and keep him for cheap.

A random offseason suspension seems like a different animal than an ingame injury or suspension to me... but either way, whatever, I have no chance of actually winning in the playoffs anyways.

Well I guess every strategy has pros and cons. Like I said, I'll think on it. What, do you propose, should be the "cost" of being granted this exception to the rules (should it be done)?

Forfeiture of hattes. All of them.

Wasn't his activity (not punishment) known prior to the pickup deadline? If such the burden falls to ukick to know of the potential suspension.

Now not having a backup would normally produce this same risk assuming injury has the same effect as suspension. In this case risk is the same then in both cases, metering the same ruling, ie not pickup.

Basically I am against changing the rules.

Why isn't next week the last week for add/drop? Shouldn't you be able to set a "playoff roster" the week the playoffs actually start?

I mean surely we can have a gentlemen's agreement around here not to dump your roster if you miss the playoffs or whatever.

Either way I think it's too late to change this year. And it was definitely announced at the top of this thread. Hell that's why I blew the rest of my waiver budget. And the reason I kept 2 kickers on the roster, just in case of injury.

Damn you're trying aren't you? Up 189-77, although he has a couple players in, including MJD tomorrow.

Holy sweet jeebus.

Almost halftime of the sunday night game, and I am up 189-81.5. The two starters he has in tonight have combined for 6 points so far. I think I just might jump ahead of him in the northern conference this week.

Adding in my 2 cents; I'm in agreement with that statement. Owners have made decisions based on the rules already, and changing them now could potentially be unfair to said owners. It sucks having a bunch of injured players, but that's where the hard decisions have to be made; lock down a bunch of keepers, or cover yourself in case of injuries. Seems like you gambled by not securing a backup, and lost this particular gamble.

Grumps, this is one heck of a Sunday night finish in a tight match-up. Probably comes down to the last possession. 141.35 (Guzzlers) vs 141.8 (Chumps) at the moment. Should be a wild finish and the stuff FFL is made of. Good luck!

So, in GWJ3 I am up on Rabbit by 84.75 points and he has 1 player left tomorrow night. This win will give both of us a 3-1 division record, and 10-3 overall records. The tiebreaker goes to, if I understand things as mentioned above, is by Points For. I am 66.35 points behind him right now, so it all comes down to whether or not Maurice Drew-Jones can score 18.4 points or more. If he scores more, Rabbit stays in the lead in the division. If he scores less, I obtain the lead in the division.

Seeing as how I was apparently winning at one point, I owe you some congratulations on your come-from-behind victory... especially since it looks like you may have just locked up your spot in the playoffs. Good luck!

That's how I understand it, although fleaflicker had you at a 0% chance.

I didn't think you'd win so big, so it wouldn't matter, but damn, nice game.

Thanks! I think it literally came down to the handful of carries that Ingram had while the Saints were running out the clock at the end. Pretty crazy finish.

I'm points leader in FFL2. Unfortunately number two is my opponent RatBoy who has Ryan Matthews left.
Ryan Matthews, please do something very stupid and self injuring very early.
