Thank you. As did I, without question. I was down by 46 points with only 2 players left. And not only was I incredibly fortunate enough to have Matthew and Mathews deliver the comeback, but I still wouldn't have secured the #2 seed had Team Juggernaut not taken a stunning 4 point loss to a then 4-8 Nnamdi AwesomeDogs, as Juggernaut held the tie breaker over me via both the Head-To-Head and Division victories. I was certainly worried as well. Your roster is very well balanced, and aside from Plaxico Burress (No offense), any of your starters are capable of having a huge output. What would've worked in your favor was that I've also given up the 2nd most points in our league. I guess I just bring out the best in my opponents lol

Well I appreciate your win. Now I get ATD instead and he just lost Matt Forte. He still has a very dangerous team w/ McCoy, S-Jax and Tebow.

Damn Truth you burned me with the bonus points.

I blame two plays
70+ yard TD pass to Marshall - 22 points
51 yard TD pass from Stafford - 17 points

2 plays 39 points.

Definitely. You're still very much alive though, and I'll be very uncomfortable until finding out how this unravels tomorrow.

You got this one now. Chargers gave us a butt whooping. But Mathews came away with 2 Tds to Jackson's zero. If they were going to lose at least they could've let V-Jax get a long one. Plus it took Rice out of the game.

Good game. High scoring. To be expected between the two top scoring teams. Usually my score would've won, just not this time.

Thanks. Very true, sadly. I was biting my nails for several reasons on the long pass to Vincent Jackson. Given that Rice had 50 yards in the first quarter and a half, I never would've fathomed him finishing with less than 100 rushing at the time. The worst part about it is that you would've beaten me 151-140 had we played last week. Agreed. I'd say 90% of the time, a score that high would've constituted a victory. Now I'll have to deal with Juggernaut, who's averaging a ridiculous 187 points per his 2 Postseason wins. Doesn't get any easier.

I will be biting my nails until midnight on Tuesday. I have a considerable lead, but anything's possible with Drew Brees on the opposite side.

Even with Romo and Laurent Robinson putting up nothing, I just lost by 2. [img]http://content.boards.baltimoreravens.com//public/style_emoticons/default/34853_brickwall.GIF[/img]

That was incredibly unfortunate. It also didn't help that Brees went to Sproles on the record setting drive.

Today marks the end of the season. It was definitely a great one, and a very competitive one as well, especially in the Playoffs, with numerous twists and turns down the stretch.

Congratulations -Truth-!!

Thank you. I'm sorry about the misfortunes you've suffered at the QB position. Had everyone been aware of the severity of Peyton Manning's injury sooner, you would've had a chance to select someone who'd actually contribute like Tony Romo. Otherwise, your roster was very solid, especially with the stable of monster RBs. Hopefully you see a lot less unwanted surprises in next year's league.

Thank you very much. I got giddy as soon as I saw Peyton's name, and I jumped too soon. Hopefully you'll be back next season in the league! Maybe we'll make it a money league? :)

I couldn't blame you. Had he missed only a couple of weeks, as I believe he was originally supposed to, he would've been a tremendous steal. It's reminiscent of my gamble on Arian Foster, who I'm sure would've easily hampered my team had his hamstring remained a problem. I'm definitely hoping to be back, though I'll have to see if my schedule allows it, as I could be slammed come next September. If I am able to return, I'm absolutely down to put something on the table.

Not exactly how I thought this idea would pan out....

You mean setting your rankings with Blount as a top-5 option?

lol I forgot about that. He didn't receive any help from Rivers, who disappointed countless owners this season. However he must've foreshadowed as much, with Ben Roethlisberger and Joe Flacco being drafted in the 3rd and 5th rounds.

Good year guys. I'll see you next year. And next year I'm going to make sure I'm at the draft, and Wacko is banned from our league for not participating haha

He might not be around anyways. In all likelihood, he might be in jail for impersonating young boys.

This years plan was to draft and just let the team flow without me changing a damn thing to my lineup. One of my friend won a money league by doing that, he never once changed his line up and he won a money league. So this year I wanted to try it, but it never worked out.....

Was your friend playing in a league by himself?

So you noticed your season going south but just hung back and thought it'd right itself eventually?

I don't get this.. You know that there's auto pick in the draft, but the league doesn't automatically set your roster for you if there's a bye, an injury or an easier matchup. You disappeared for a while though lol

This. I couldn't imagine leaving my line up be if I intend to reach the Postseason. Out of our 4 highest finishing teams, 3 of them had 28+ acquisitions. I don't believe that to be a coincidence. You have to be active in Fantasy.
