The San Diego D has owned Fitzpatrick, but there was a Fitzgerald explosion to offset that. This one is going to be pretty close.
The #1 seed is behind the #8. I have a 20 point lead and Golden Tate still to play against Curry Porkrinds’ Leon Washington and the Seahawks D. Golden Tate was a late addition in replacement of Jerome Simspon, who scored a TD… really hope that’s not the difference in this one.

Hamlet defeats Frosted Lightning
Hamlet, you are my next victim. This is the Year of the Jest.
ETA: I think I’m reading the breakdowns wrong in this league. It might be either Pancakes or Scissor next.
Yeah, I’m not sure if the playoff schedule is as bracketed at the beginning or if it changes like the NFL, which would put you at the new top seed and facing the Pancakes. Either way, I shall have my team prepped and ready, and hope like hell Gore and Turner turn it on (see the Turn thing I did there? Cool, huh?) for me.
So I need Seattle to score 25 to win in one playoffs game in one league, and have them score like less than 20 (depending on other players) in this one. My guess is that they score 23 points so that I lose both games.
This is nervewracking. We’ve been a point apart for a half hour. Leon Washington’s 40 yard return just put you ahead.
St. Louis got the fucking ball 1st and 10 from the 1 yard line, and couldn’t score a TD, which would’ve kept me ahead.
I wonder how many 1st and goals at the 1 you can blow.
Top seed gets beaten. SenorBeef edges out tds1273 126.45 to 124.26
d_odds crushes Taber 155.25 to 99

Hamlet beats Frosted Glass 110.80 to 99.09
Round 2:
- Court Jesters vs 8. Exploding Pancakes
- Hamlet vs 5. Scissor Me Timbers
Watch out for late stat corrections. Your margin of victory is small enough that it could be a factor.
Nope.
- Scissor Me Timbers v. 8. Exploding Pancakes
- Court Jesters v. 3. Hamlet
That’s strange. This year they included an option for reseeding every round rather than fixed brackets, and I thought I changed all my leagues to it. But apparently not. Can’t be changed now anyway. It’s off in all my leagues, so I must’ve misremembered setting it, or it got reset at some point during the season.
Were I a suspicious man, I might conclude that a person would rather face a team with an injured Matt Forte as its high scorer, than one with Brees against one of the worst pass defenses in the game.
No worries. D_Odds shall face my wrath, and the mighty Gore/Turner/Bush troika!
Are you being serious? I’ve never done anything underhanded in any of my leagues in 5 years.
All commissioner settings changes are posted publically by yahoo under the recent transactions bar anyway. Do you want me to prove this?
Not in the least. You’ve always been a fair, fantastic commish, and I have nothing but respect for you. I was completely joking, and I’m sorry if you took offense. You’d never do anything like that. And lest anyone think there is even the slightest hint of sarcasm in this post, there’s not.
Sorry then - I didn’t think you were being serious but I just wanted to clear the air just in case.
For next year, I’ll have to remember to do the reseeding thing. It’s already a very small benefit to be a top seed, and this just reduces it further.
I’m starting Manning in All-Pro and need a big game from him, so I’m not happy with this match-up. I would have preferred to see you eliminated by Scissor Me Timbers. I really need Brees to carry my team, and a big game from Sproles and another big game from Baldwin wouldn’t hurt. I don’t like this match-up at all.
No such luck.
I would have hated Tom Coughlin for double screwing me if the Giants lost that game. It was bad enough that benching Bradshaw got me knocked out. I mean, I know that having zero in the way of RBs really did me in but at least the Giants lit it up. I’m ready to kick some Consolation Bowl butt!
Well, out after game 1 of the playoffs. Can’t really complain about facing the highest scoring guy, since I’d’ve lost to almost everyone in the playoffs.
I can take consolation in the fact that I believe that I am the only player to make the playoffs all 3 years, unless I missed someone who changed their name.
I should’ve made the playoffs in all 3 years, except for The Great Injustice.
It would’ve been easier if they just put McFadden on IR instead of taunting me every week about he might play but never does. I’m surprised I managed to make it this far without him.
