JO's ESPN 16 Team League

[theblackdog]

DIAF Brandon Marshall, I should have had that win, but no, you haaaaaad to actually play against the Lions, 

 

Actually, most of my lineup last week decided to take the week off and just let a high schooler suit up for them

I can smell the playoffs...

That's right, in JO's league the playoff starts in week 15.  The championship game in week 17 is filled with questions as to who will get rested or not. 

 

Either way I guess I am locked into at least the 2nd with a chance at 1st.

FYI, good job with being the top scorer in the league.  Sucks that you are rewarded with the 5th seed.  

 

Looking at your team, it's pretty beastly.  Going to be tough to beat you in the playoffs.  But then again who knows what Week 17 will bring in terms of Manning, and Calvin.

Thanks, the only problem I had all season was at the TE position but Pitta should be back now so I'll be alright...

You won our division fair and square and can't see you missing out on being the 1st seed, so we'll most probably have some fun playing each other in the semis...

Lost to JO in the last week. Facing him in the first round of the play-offs. Gotta love fantasy.

Playoff time is here. Week 15 officially begins the playoffs.

Hate this set up. Tie breaker should be whoever gets more points. Bullcrap. -_-

That does suck. 

 

I prefer points to be the deciding factor.  Matchups are so fluky.  This isn't the NFL where matchups actually matter.  Points scored is the more telling attribute in fantasy football over matchups.

That's how I feel. I was shocked to see I didn't make it

[JO_75]

Everything will be back to normal next year. Just wanted to try out how a 1 RB league would work but I hate it.

The whole tiebreaker being the H2H, I thought it be pretty realistic since H2H is usually the first tiebreaker in the NFL.

looks like we're set to play next week for a place in the final

I'm not feeling very good about it.  Manning is going to have a huge bounce back game next week.

 

Your team is better than mine.  Need my guys to put together a gutsy performance (unlike my other BR.com teams this week).  

[Ed_Reed20]

Congrats on moving, JO. Charles basically killed me twice over with you starting Alex Smith as well. 

[Guest Mr. Nobody]

wow, three teams from one division in the last four...

[theblackdog]

I'm still trying to figure out how I managed to make the playoffs because I was so wildly inconsistent this year on matchups.

[Guest Mr. Nobody]

why am I playing vs #1 seed? thought #5 plays #2 and #6 plays #1...

[PuRock]

I just noticed this too right now.  Looks like ESPN goes by 'The bracket' instead of seeding which isn't uncommon.  ATD's Yahoo league did this as well.  My team (1st seed) went against the #4 seed instead of the 7th.  

 

I'm not complaining.  It might actually be a better matchup for you anyways. But I know how much you were looking forward to beating me.  But wouldn't it be sweeter in a potential Championship game?   :D

Thanks. I basically won because of those two. Every other player under performed and those two basically advanced me into the playoffs. I don't know Alex Smith was available in free agency when I picked him up but it may be the championship winning move if I end up winning the championship. 

 

Don't worry guys, I hear the complaints. Everything will be back to normal and I'll take any other suggestions on how we can improve the league for next year.

It's just starting to look that indeed we're going to meet again... at long last... lol...

[JO_75]

Of course, I forget to set start a defense in which I picked up Cleveland's since I figured they would do well against the Jets O. They got negative points in the end so no help. I decided to pick up Tannehill and drop Eli and the week I do, Eli has a good game while Alex Smith didn't do nothing for me as my starter.

 

Some costly decisions by me will cost me a shot at a championship, there is always next year.

 

Again, if there is any other way you would like to see the league change, let me know.

[theblackdog]

Hmmmm, I'm down 12 points and tonight it's Tony Gonzalez vs Vernon Davis.  Yup, I'm toast for this round, but it's been fun :-D

[PuRock]

You ready to throw down Horus?  I was hoping to be done with fantasy football in Week 17.  Luckily it looks like most of our players have something to play for.  

 

Looks like I'm the underdog.

let me congratulate you on the championship win, will try to give you more headaches next season

Thanks. You've had a tough week.  I was happily surprised you didn't get Calvin Johnson out of your lineup (though Mike Wallace wouldn't be the difference maker anyways).  You had me on the ropes after Peyton Manning threw for 4 TDs in the first half. 

 

Luckily, it was week 17 where anything can happen.  Maybe Manning wouldn't have been benched.  Maybe Calvin plays.  I honestly didn't think I would beat you.  At least I bring home 1 BR title.
