SDMB Big League FF 2010

No problem. Thanks.

Nevermind, Beef, i made the change myself before game time.

In FF news not related to this League:

In another league that i play in, my two RBs are Chris Johnson and Beanie Wells. I got over 400 yards rushing out of those two this week. Only 1 TD, though.

As far as i can tell, there are only two games with a realistic chance of being decided tonight:

Living Through Them needs 11 points out of Giants kicker Lawrence Tynes to beat CMFD.

5.25 points from Brandon Jacobs will allow The Brute Squad to topple Garcon’s Cedilla.

I fell about 5 yards shy of a stunning comeback. Too bad the Giants had to be blown out for such a close game. Why couldn’t that final run have gone to Sproles instead of Ingram?

Man my team has been crap with McFadden and Maclin out, but I think I’ll be able to limp my way to the playoffs on account of getting 8 wins early.

Holy shit, i expected Brees to have a decent night, but there’s no way i expected 40 points.

I was working so i couldn’t watch the game. Did the fucking Giants send out a bunch of under-9s for their Defense?

No, they just didn’t send out a defense.

So what’s the first divisional tiebreaker? If I win and Curry loses, we’ll be tied. He has a 4-0 divisional record to my 2-2, but I’ll have more points (unless he puts up an absurd total next week and still loses). Frankly, I hope it’s divisional wins, because it makes the divisions more fun/meaningful.

Division record is the first divisional tiebreaker, and for all matters except determining who wins the division (including teams competing for a wildcard slot who happen to be in the same division) it’s points. So the top 4 seeds are tiebroken by division record, second four seeds (wild card) are purely overall record and points.

Trade deadline is this Friday, Dec 2. So get busy if you want to get anything done. Please check your leagues/offers often during the next few days.

For you to miss the playoffs, I need to win my matchup, beat you by ~31 points, and you need to lose this week. I don’t think I’m going to win my matchup unless Cruz gets another 32 points.

Oh, and No Use For a Name II and Frosted Lightning also need to win.

I’ll trade Alex Smith to anyone who’s desperate for a QB for a middle tier TE, RB, or WR.

I’m looking to upgrade TE in general - look at my roster and make an offer.

Trade:

Exploding pancakes gives up Alex Smith
Living through them gives up Jermaine Greshman.
He was starting Palko, I was starting Fasano, so we both upgraded scrubs to … slightly less scrubby players.

Might bite me this week since Alex Smith is the bigger upgrade for him, and he’s my opponent this week.

You have a points edge on me now and are most likely in. I can possibly make it up with players still to play.

Retrovertigo needs to make up 50 points with Stafford, Pettigrew, and Hanson against Thomas and Graham. Unlikely.

Looks like we’ve probably both made it, despite my absolute horrible performance this week. My team has been shit since McFadden and Maclin were out, but hopefully they’ll be back for the playoffs.

Well crap. I’ve done far better than I ever thought I would have, and am pleased as hell at the point totals I’ve been putting up each week, but losing my top scorer going into the playoffs just isn’t cool. They say Forte may come back, but why would he?

We have our playoffs.

  1. Curry Porkrinds (tds1273)

This might be the only week off the season I am pulling for you, Senor.

Good luck to everyone involved in the playoffs.

I was disappointed with my season, but given my injuries and a couple of very close games at the end, things could have gone quite differently. Anyway, i had fun.

Ongoing update.

I’ve got 83 with Golden Tate, Bailey, and the Chargers D to play. Curry Porkrinds has 68 with Fitzpatrick, Fitzgerald, Leon Washington and the Seahawks D to play. It’s partially synergistic - the Chargers D is likely to score inverely with Fitzpatrick.

Hamlet has 30 with Manning, Stevie Johnson, Decker, Bush, and 49ers. Frosted has 46 with Romo, Bradshaw, Gould, and the Giants D.

Scissor Me Timbers is pretty much done with 110. Fancypants has to score 65 with Tebow, Vincent Jackson, Knox, Witten, and Heyward-Bey.
