Since no one objected, I pushed the trade deadline out to Dec 2.

Varlos you have players out for the afternoon games that need a fix.

All the good teams are going to win this week, so no real change to the playoff picture, which is bad for me.

How I miss you Jamal Charles. You were going to be great.

What is the playoff structure for this league? The schedule shows me playing teams through week 17.

There’s a (manual) two week playoff between the top 2 teams in week 15-16 for the championship, and a relegation bowl during the same weaks where the bottom two teams play and the loser gets ejected from the league.

Are you guys falling asleep at the switch? Kevin Smith just got taken for $1.

You should be playing to not end up in the relegation bowl if nothing else.

Everything is pretty much going according to projection between Jules and I, except Laurent Robison tripling his. Which is bad, since he has a huge projected lead on me.

I probably blew my FAAB early, considering people are apparently asleep at the switch at this stage and valuable players are going for next to nothing.

It’s hard to envision a scenario where I end up as anything but third this year, damn.

_shrug_ I don’t need running backs.

Well, it’s starting to look promising. I had a good fourth quarter of the early games. TDs from Newton, Ryan, Damian Williams, Holmes and Sanchez.

Varlos is ahead of Retrovertigo, who had a terrible week - and that’s even better.

If this continues, I will move into the 2nd seed.

Last minute substitute of Green-Ellis for Helu is looking good, although Helu is doing well too.

It’s unlikely but a scenario is shaping up where either Retro or Jules can miss the playoffs, which would probably be unfair to either. Then again, they’ve got some time to make up for today, so it might not be unfair it they can’t.

Damn it, Brady to Welker.

I need Mike Wallace to score 15 more points than Antonio Brown.

Edit: Re: Last post, Helu scored 26 points. _headdesk_

I thought for sure I had no shot this week. Brady to Welker x2 saved my ass. Been saving my ass all season, really. It was a minor, fleeting comfort to the debacle that was that Pats/Eagles game.

Well this doesn’t end my potential playoff run, but it does make it pretty unlikely. Congrats on your win.

Well, barring a Jimmy Graham explosion, I am now clear of the relegation zone, as I’ll have two wins over **Omni.**

I’m not sure how you’re figuring that.

He didn’t account for the Victor Cruz explosion.

But even then you’d be tied at 4-8 with Omni having the tiebreaker.

Well, I had a decent lead going into the night and with Graham and Cruz versus Eli and Meachem I considered the win a foregone conclusion.

Eh? You were down by 6. I figured Cruz and Graham would combine for 25 points, Eli would score 20, and I’d win by whatever I got out of Meachem.

Oh well.
