Holy shit, that’s a close finish. I was shitting myself thinking that Rivers was going to be able to take a knee. Hope there are no stat corrections.

Man, one kneel down by Rivers and I would have won.

Not necessarily. Depending on the league stats we might not get negative points for rushing yards below zero. Still… _deep breath_

I just checked and it turns out that if negative points are turned on they are on for all positions - so yeah, a kneel down would have made the difference. God bless the Ravens for pointlessly calling timeouts at the end.

Apparently, there was no stat correction. Final regular season standings:

Fun facts: none of last year’s playoff teams made it this year; three of the four made the consolation bracket. **Varlos** ’ total of 1519.71 in 2007 is still the all time record for season scoring\*. It’s worth noting that he failed to make the playoffs that year :D. I assume my 0.03 playoff win is some kind of record but I’m not going through all eight seasons’ worth of results to find out.

**Crabby Hermits v. Nine Inch Neils** is your championship game. Herm is currently favored by 18 points in Yahoo!'s projections.

Over in the third place playoff, **Fourth and Nineteen** is favored by 4 and a bit over **Moridwon**.

**Baltimore Weirdos** and **Spiritus Mundi** will play in the Consolation Bowl.

\*A couple of people scored more in the first season of the league (2003) but there was an extra WR slot that year so it doesn’t count.

Now it looks like I’ll win because Hermit got fucked by Romo and the Giants. Woo!

I don’t think anyone else is going to see this post because nobody else appears to be looking at this thread. Nonetheless: HE HATE ME CHAMPS!

Blech. One Philip Rivers kneel-down away from winning the league. Ah well.

Congrats, **RNATB**!

Thanks. Yeah, you would have crushed everyone. Ironic, because Crabby Hermits put up their worst score in 12 weeks (and second worst score of the season) at the worst possible time.

I keep looking at that first round victory margin of .03 and it boggles my mind. Three hundredth of a point makes all the difference; I have never seen a margin of victory that small before. Game of inches indeed. And to see that poor Fourth and Nineteen (and I) in the 3rd/4th battle would have blown both you guys in the finals away is troubling.

Good win, RNATB.

:mumble mumble:

Fucking Marshawn Lynch sucking early in the season and then deciding, after I traded him, to get good.

Fuck! I made a list of all the eligible keepers for next year and then accidentally closed the tab just as I finished.

Oh well. The short version is that Herm is going to have another great team if Michael Bush gets a starting job somewhere (he’d get Bush in R4, Steve Smith the First in R5 and Antonio Brown in R11). Off Constantly has DeMarco Murray in R3 and AJ Green in R5.

I’ve got Cam in the 7th and Sproles in the 9th, which isn’t bad.
