TP Fantasy Football

jillaj · #1 11-29-06, 06:36 PM

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 · #2 11-29-06, 06:46 PM

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

jillaj · #3 11-29-06, 06:57 PM

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

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.

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

3 three point loses brutal

GeoffM · #6 11-29-06, 07:46 PM

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

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.

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 · #9 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 · #10 12-02-06, 01:09 PM

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

Aequitas58 · #11 12-02-06, 02:42 PM

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

Talking Poker · #12 12-02-06, 05:52 PM

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

Dude. Quit living in the past.

jillaj · #13 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 · #14 12-03-06, 04:22 AM

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

Gordogg · #15 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

drewjax · #16 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!!

Talking Poker · #17 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 · #18 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 · #19 12-05-06, 02:33 PM

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

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:

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

Dodoubled · #22 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 · #23 12-10-06, 03:07 PM

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

GeoffM · #24 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 · #25 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.
