==================================================

Legend:
* - Would make playoffs if season ended now
[color=green]d[/color] - Clinched division
[color=green]b[/color] - Clinched round 1 bye
[color=green]x[/color] - Clinched wildcard
[color=red]y[/color] - Eliminated from division contention
[color=red]z[/color] - Eliminated from round 1 bye contention
[color=red]o[/color] - Eliminated from wildcard contention

Next year's (guaranteed*) promotions (should they choose to return):
GWJFFL3 -> GWJFFL2: Bret Favre's Ghost (The Walking Dead is Landshrk83's second team and since his GWJFFL2 isn't likely to move up, TWD can't, either. Rat Boy owes Landshrk83 a beer.)
GWJFFL2 -> GWJFFL1: New Brewton Guzzlers and Golden Jews (two GWJFFL rookies)

*Other teams may be offered the chance to move up if slots open up naturally.

GWJFFLK is the only league where the #1 team is not in the final game. As a matter of fact, it's #4 vs #6.

It beats wearing a JaMarcus shirt.

You should have to wear an Alex Smith one.

We could be the Worst #1 Overall QB Club.

Peyton Manning was the #1 overall selection that draft.

Crap. Anybody else? Someone who didn't start off and on for five years?

All right, so it's down to Tim Couch, I suppose.

No love for David Carr?

No love for David Carr?

I have nothing but pity for David Carr. Playing behind perhaps the worst offensive line of all time scarred him for life.

Actually I totally agree. Though he ended up a bust I honestly feel he could have been at least decent if he hadn't got murdered so often so early in his career.

CAR v. PIT tonight.
DAL v. ARI on Sat.

I've been waiting ALL season for these games.

Yeah, not really upset about the house I'm going to Saturday not having NFL Network.

FTFY. (Today is Wednesday )

You scared me there for a second.

I would just like to congratulate the Golden Jews for an amazing season.

Because of Fantasy Football 29 players of the Dallas Cowboys will be not only attending the Super Bowl, but also playing it.

Congratulations, Kitna. You finally made it buddy!

I've been having the same issue all day.

Couch's numbers beat Alex Smith in pretty much every category. Not by much, granted.

Carr is not in the same class of badness.

All 3 guys have five years of full-time or part-time starting, and Carr was considerably more productive than either of those guys. Carr's feet were firmly planted in mediocrity. In his time as an incumbent starter, he was never truly awful.

And Carr has managed to have a longer career, such that it is.

I suppose that since Alex just lost his starting job again, he moves up the ladder.

Platooning has to be next, right?

Which one is Woodley and which one is Strock?

Not feeling very good about this week. My lineup would look a lot better if Frank Gore weren't rehabbing this weekend

Man. Jacoby Ford runs back a 99 TD return but still has 0 for me.

And Jordy Nelson catches an 80 yd TD on my bench. 15 points. Bah.

You know, I was high on two receivers this offseason: Calvin Johnson and Dwayne Bowe. Why? Because they had down years last year and I expected them to bounce back. I drafted Johnson on all my teams and didn't get Bowe on any of them. Bowe ended up going earlier than I expected in every draft so I missed out on him ... though I certainly could've gotten him in the Keeper league.

Point? Well, I'm going with my instincts and research next year. Screw conventional wisdom and playing it safe. Boom or bust baby!

In the GWJFFL1 toilet bowl championship I am up 25 on Grump but he has Vick to play whenever the game eventually happens. Will be interesting!

Yeah same here in FF3, up 30 but my opponent has Vick. I don't feel quite safe yet.

Proof I got robbed in GWJFFL2 (that was the one where I was ranked 5th overall but didn't make the playoffs): I've had a higher score than all 4 playoff teams each week.

ETA: Joking.

I need Roddy White to sprain an ankle running out of the tunnel in order to win tonight

Edit: And he didn't. Congrats Minase on a great season.

Also, thanks Grump and fellow owners for another great season as well. Lot of fun and I look forward to next year.
