PLAYOFFS SCHEDULE CHANGED

If anyone objects, just let me know and we'll discuss it... but I didn't realize this was an option until just now.

There will be 6 playoff teams. that hasn't changed. What I changed was that the Championship game will be split over 2 weeks. The playoffs start early in FF. That's because not all teams make the NFL playoffs, and people with good players on bad teams would get screwed.

The "Super Bowl" of our league will be scored using the total of NFL weeks 16 and 17.


I think this is cool, because sometimes, if your guy is on a team that has locked up their division, they might sit your guy for that last game to save him for the playoff games.

So OUR playoffs begin with the wildcard games during NFL week 14. that's in 3 weeks. week 12 is coming up starting Thursday with 3 Thanksgiving Day games. Cowboys v Foreskins, Lions v. Texans, and Jets v Patriots.

This leaves us 2Weeks! to get into the top 6. The 2 division winners will go, and the next best 4 teams regardless of division. As the standings read today, the 2 division winners would be the Goats and the Chasers. Wildcard teams would be the Toads, the Rats, the Bullies, and Eagle Green, in that order.

Yeah I blew it. My massive change in schedule I didn't set up the team. But I've been slowly losing it over the last few weeks, and you could have beaten me anyway.

Goats have been put together with duct tape, string, and bondo. I think you're safe.

bondo! I wish the Ruff Riders had some bondo. We've had to make do with scraping some pitch from the bark of the pine tree on the corner.

you guys are teh funneh

Romo got 78.8 points, and it looks like I picked 2 good wideouts at least. A. Johnson got 32, and Bryant 43! And The Chasers are suffering from an Eagle laden roster.... most of whom are injured, and the rest disheartened.

I think I could squeak by her this time. She's already locked up our division anyway.

Yeah, the Cowboys kicker went above and beyond for me yesterday. That was a great game, the Skins did really well, which puts everyone in this area in a good mood, and Dallas did a lot of kicking for me.

We could sure use some of that good mood around here. The Eagles have been doing so badly for so long, though, I think it would piss people off more if they won a game at this point.

7 minutes left, and glatt needs 12 more points from Cam Newton to knock off the toads

Newton scores on the ground.... Now 4 minutes left, 4 points to catch up..... It's actually more interesting than the game at this point.
