TP Fantasy Football
 
Since the playoffs are almost upon us I just checked the playoff schedule and why in the hell do we have the championship game in week 16 and not 15? Any good player on a good team with a playoff spot locked up won't see much time. Anyone want to bet that after dominating the league all year I go out in round 1?

Robbr25 11-29-06 06:46 PM

You do realize there are 17 weeks in an NFL season right ?

jillaj 11-29-06 06:57 PM

As of now, yes I do. Per when I posted, that would be a negative.

Talking Poker 11-29-06 07:02 PM

Right... Week 17 is a pretty standard FF SuperBowl week. After I spank GeoffM this weekend (time to put his silly 8 game winning streak to rest), I'll be tied for second place in the overall standings, and positioned for the playoffs.

thrash1294 11-29-06 07:44 PM

I am on what a 6 game losing streak? dirty birdz= dead birdz:mad:

3 three point loses brutal

GeoffM 11-29-06 07:46 PM

I'm riding the LT wave to the prize money, however much it is.

GTDawg 11-30-06 12:10 AM

I'm just waiting for a meteor to take out Steve Smith while he's hanging out with Devery Henderson just to complete my season of suck.

omahilo 11-30-06 08:54 AM

I cliched a playoff spot...

I won the Superbowl last year... we'll see what happens this year, not feeling as confident with this team. I hate how we have 14 teams in the league, 2 too many teams IMO.

Talking Poker 11-30-06 12:06 PM

I hate how one of those teams hasn't logged in since BEFORE his autodraft.

Next year, we need to pick a commissioner who is around the 48 hours before the draft and can kick people like that out of the league (ahem, fungus).

Gordogg 12-02-06 01:09 PM

I hate how my top two draft picks were Edgerrin James and Randy Moss and QB was Culpepper. :thumbsup:

Aequitas58 12-02-06 02:42 PM


Randy Moss! I think he had three catches last week. :thumbsup:

Talking Poker 12-02-06 05:52 PM

That would have been a great team... circa 2002 or so.

Dude. Quit living in the past.

jillaj 12-02-06 09:32 PM

I like how my top 2 QB's are on the IR. Great way to enter teh playoffs.

Gordogg 12-03-06 04:22 AM

James had a good year in 2005. Moss and Culpepper were a gamble, h eh.

Gordogg 12-03-06 04:25 AM

I think that's in the last three weeks. Randy don't play when Randy's not happy. Attitude is a :thumbsup:

drewjax 12-04-06 11:31 PM

This is a squeek job either way between me and Aeq. to see who will eek out the last playoff spot.

YSAFF!!
:p

Talking Poker 12-05-06 12:14 AM

Told you I was gonna put a stop to that silly 8 game winning streak of yours.

See you bitches in the playoffs.

GTDawg 12-05-06 12:48 AM

*sigh*

Reggie Bush goes for 4 and I still lose because my GPA is higher than Rex's passer rating.

Dodoubled 12-05-06 02:33 PM

:twocents: Not that I'm in this league or anything (I should have been, so hopefully next year), but I felt too compelled to respond to this.

I generally think it's a bad idea to have a fantasy championship in Week 17. At that point in the season, too many playoff berths have already been decided, and too many other teams have packed it in for next year. Coaches like to use that week to either rest their stars, or to see what kind of talent they may have for the upcoming season. So a lot of times, fantasy studs get a break. Yet in Week 16, you'll almost always still see them play, even if they've already clinched home-field.

If you have a dominating fantasy team, and your top players just happen to be on the top teams in pro football, you shouldn't be relegated to a Week 17 crapshoot just because the real teams your studs play for have rested their guns in preparation for the playoffs.

Just my :twocents: .

:cheers:

Talking Poker 12-05-06 02:51 PM

That was a typo. Our SB is in Week 16, just like everyone else's. I was agreeing with Rob, who was basically saying there are 17 weeks in a season and our SB is in Week 16. Note the OP:

Kurn 12-05-06 03:33 PM

Either that or they let retiring local QB legends dropkick FGs and your kicker gets screwed. :thumbsup:

Dodoubled 12-05-06 06:24 PM

Or, they let certain future Hall of Fame quarterbacks run naked bootlegs in the direction of other future Hall of Fame defensive ends (unblocked, mind you), while said DE "sacks" said QB to set "sack record."

Cough, cough .. Favre .. cough, cough ... Strahan ... cough, cough ...

jillaj 12-10-06 03:07 PM

I doubt the Colts D will be receiving a TP christmas card this year.

GeoffM 12-10-06 04:05 PM

I might be removing Willie Parker off of mine as well, unless LT puts up 3 TDs (wait a minute, isn't that what he usually does?)

GeoffM 12-10-06 07:29 PM

Yahoo sucks ass.

I'm trying to login and pick up a receiver for the game tonight since Horn is out, and it won't load the page. Looks as though I'll be losing anyway (despite 3 TD LT) but it would be nice to field an entire team, a Brees TD pass to the guy I grab could result in a 12 point TD.

lightfungus 12-10-06 09:11 PM

Teehee. Their Pass D was fantastic...375 yards of rushing is a bit iffy though...

GeoffM 12-10-06 11:16 PM

Looks like Drew Brees bailed me out :thumbsup:

GeoffM 12-11-06 02:52 PM

What were the payouts for this thing again?

I really need Indy to run the table now in hopes Tomlinson will be playing at full speed. SD currently sits in the position to earn home field.

Talking Poker 12-11-06 03:10 PM

$90 and $40 for the Top 2 teams:

lightfungus 12-19-06 01:32 AM

I just had myself a miracle comeback...down 51-23 with Marvin and Rudi left to go and they both come through to knock off the number 1 seed in our league at 11-2. See ya in the championship match Mr. Monday Night.

GeoffM 12-19-06 09:56 AM

It's me and you Fungus boy for the extra $50. Congrats on coming second ;) :p

lightfungus 12-19-06 01:06 PM

I've got a lot of injuries, but Kitna is due for more than 5 points this week so you best watch out.

GeoffM 12-19-06 02:48 PM

:rolleyes: I think Brees is due for more than 2 :rolleyes:

jillaj 12-20-06 08:23 PM

:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

GeoffM 12-25-06 03:37 PM

Looks like a lost a heartbreaker. LT got shut down and Brees continues to struggle, and even Wayne struggled. 1 guy puts up 1 mesely TD, I likely win.

Congrats Fungi, GeoffreyM on Stars for me

lightfungus 12-26-06 04:41 AM

Thanks man! This is one of my prouder fantasy wins as I didn't have a stable QB all year and rode the coat tails of the Chicago D and Maurice Jones-Drew which was an early season pickup and turned out to be a top fantasy player. It's all about those early season pickups in my mind. The Champion has arrived. I look forward to another championship season next year.

Ship it. Lighfungus on stars.

Talking Poker 12-26-06 12:04 PM

$ has been transferred. Somehow we ended up $5 short, but I don't feel like figuring out where it went, so I kicked it in. GG - see you all next year, when hopefully we will have 12 interested and active (as in not on autopilot for the ENTIRE season) teams.

thrash1294 12-26-06 12:26 PM

I was active I just sucked bag:thumbsup:

Talking Poker 12-26-06 12:42 PM

Nah, I meant coolie or whatever his name is. Didn't even show up for the draft or log in once all season.

That said, he still managed a better record than the Bulldogs! LOL...

GTDawg 12-26-06 03:51 PM

Yeah...my starting QB went out on a stretcher. I autodrafted an RB that was on IR. And my top WR didn't play the first 4 weeks.

I was set to go from the start.

GeoffM 12-26-06 09:36 PM

Funny how that works. I had the 2 MVPs, 1 the most consistent QB all year, and he decided to not show up at all the last 2 weeks. Brees, the guy who got me to the playoffs in 3 out of 4 of my pools, also cost me in all 3 of them.

jillaj 12-27-06 12:55 PM

I just want to let Marvin Harrison know that I hate his bitch ass. Maybe he would find out if he every came to this forum. Since he doesn't I will have to find another way to let him know. He foiled my rein of dominance on this league and I will hate him forever.
