Because if you’re screwed at 6-5, I’m \*definitely \*screwed at 6-5 and over a hundred points behind you. Yeah, there’s two games left and only two games of separation between 5th place and 12th place. Only one person is a lock for the playoffs right now. ---

I didn’t realize there were 8 playoff teams. :smack: I still think I’m pretty much cooked if Ben Tate is going to be carrying the ball twice a game, but I guess I’m not out of it. > [@AlsoNamedBort](#): > > I spent the last two minutes of that game staring at my phone, refreshing. I can’t believe it. Easily my closest win ever. I couldn’t watch. Miller hasn’t done anything in the last 4 weeks so I was actually pretty sure I was going to lose. ---

About that… [Browns Waive Ben Tate](http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/11896908/cleveland-browns-waive-ben-tate) It might actually work out better for you if he goes somewhere that needs him ---

How, in the name of all that is holy, is Evil Monkey making up a 57 point deficit with three players? This Saints game is killing me. ---

Woohoo, by the briefest of margins, I reclaim 1st place and clinch the playoffs. Pretty happy considering Yahoo had me projected to end up 14th after the draft. ---

Hmmm. I could still be eliminated with a loss to Definite MAYBE. ---

I’m pretty sure if Tannehill scores 10+ points tonight I will have secured 1st place. Of course, if I hadn’t left the Rams D on my bench it would be a moot point. ---

I’m in. Condolences to Frosted Lightning, who has scored the third most points to date (one more than me) yet has a losing record. ---

Well, it looks like I’m losing my most points scored crown at the last minute. The last two weeks weren’t great, but I’m back in it if this Stedman Bailey guy turns out to be the real deal ---

Well, barring a record setting game from Bennett, I think I have to concede defeat. All I really waned to do this year was make it to the playoffs, so I’m pretty happy with finishing with the #1 record and going to the semi-finals. ---

Well, I have to say I wasn’t expecting to end up playing RGIII and the Jacksonville defense in the championships, but here we are. Hopefully I don’t lose it to a score correction again. ---

I don’t want to say I won the championship because of Eddie Royal, but I may have to. ---

I’m amazed that I scored so few points and still finished middle of the pack(ish). ---
