Things were looking up around the third quarter of the late games - Varlos was about tied with Retro with 5 vs 2 players left to play, and I had a decent lead on Jules with more players to play. And then Jules gets like 19 Brady to Welker TDs and Retro has Brees put up 43. And there goes my season.

I’d have to win out, and Retro lose out to get in the playoffs. Jules is pretty much guaranteed a spot. Wish I had a chance to play Retro before the season ended to give me a chance.

Edit: I guess we shouldn’t really say playoffs, but rather championship.

I’m glad that Matt Forte is out already with a knee injury and won’t return. Varlos is going to get his second win against me, his second win total. I hate fantasy football.

And there’s Mendenhall with his second TD already. i really hate fantasy football.

It took me eleven minutes to make three changes to my fantasy teams this morning. Yahoo making me really nervous, I hope those changes actually went through.

List them (very soon) and I’ll make sure they go through wheter or not they got in under the buzzer. Had trouble making a last minute switch myself but it took.

I think they went through, but they weren’t all in this league. Thanks though.

I’m thinking I’ll win today and the next three weeks, but lose the important two.

If I win today, I’m going to go 10-4 and miss the playoffs. That’s kind of hard to do, even in our format.

15-16 is the two game championship, as well as the relegation bowl.

Okay. Are we just going with a straight draft order for next season? Or will the #3 and 4 teams play for the 3rd pick in 15/16?

I hadn’t really considered the results this year affecting the draft next year. It isn’t a dynasty league so it’s not like we need to help the guy with the worst roster, since we’ll all be starting fresh. So I figured we’d just do a random draw again.

That makes sense, I guess.

Glad my HHM and Super League games are meaningless this week, seeing as both my opponents have MJD.

Well I did it, went 10-4 and missed the playoffs on a tiebreaker.

Jules Andre and Retrovertigo play for the championship. RNATB and Varlos play to see who gets booted next year.

Remember that the combined scores over weeks 15 and 16 will determine the winners of each of the games. Loser of the relegation bowl is dropped from the league next year.

You know, considering my QBs for this league coming out of the draft were Peyton Manning, Philip Rivers, Sam Bradford and Jay Cutler, I’m pretty thrilled to have avoided the Toilet Bowl.

I somehow forgot to start AJ Green this week. I basically screwed myself in every league I’m in this week.
