Yea, but weakest in probably the most important area. Doesn't matter how many weapons I have if plays can't develop, heh.

Anyways, all of my losses except for Albatross have been against the league's elite, not sure why everyone is so quick to jump on the OP team bandwagon to talk trash, so cliche.

1 of them I don't even use. :cool: I'm the nu-giants after the FA upgrade. You all had your shot at these players smh.

C O'Hara FA
WR LLoyd Trade
WR Owens FA
RG Leonard FA
LT Starks FA
ROLB Bulluck FA
LE Scott Never used

under 80: Johnson FA

7 starters through FA. Feels Goodman. And I went exactly for what I said: OL help (3/5ths of my line is FA) and WRs (both starting WRs). Money meets mouth. :)

[edit] And it's only 20. Stop counting kickers!

[edit2]LLoyd/TO already leading team in receiving and TDs for receivers even though they got a late start. So good.

Sorry been away all night. I'm down to play some tomorrow night or whenever. Not sure if I'll be around during the day so I'm guessing tomorrow night is perfect.

If you don't lose any games, you'll be tied record wise with Smokey at the end of the year at 12-4. You could win the division on tie-breakers. You can do it!

Nah I think Smokey holds the cards if we're both 12-4, I have an extra division loss that he doesn't currently. Plus, I've never beat Balb!

AFC Playoff Picture

If they started today...
1. Rors (12-0)
2. Smokey (10-2)
3. Ramirez (8-4)
4. AFC East Winner
5. Welie (8-4)
6. Colts (7-4)

AFC Wildcard Spectacular
  • Smokey (10-2) games left: CIN, CAR, IND, TEN
  • Ramirez (8-4) games left: CLE, SF, STL, CLE
  • Wellie (8-4) games left: HOU, STL, ARI, BAL
  • Colts (7-4) games left: NE, BAL, TEN, HOU, JAX
  • Crow (6-5) games left: MIN, CHI, NE, BUF, KC
  • Nightz (6-5) games left: JAX, BUF, BAL, DET, OAK

Since Rors says the Wildcard logic is broken, but the division logic is right, let's look at the only interesting division race where the division winner will at least be above .500 - the AFC North.

Ramirez and Wellie are both 8-4 now, with a 1-1 split head to head. Wellie's loss to Levious plays spoiler here and puts Ramirez up in the division tiebreaker by a half game (3-1, 3-2). Wellie has one more division game (Baltimore, week 17), Ramirez has two (Cleveland 2x). In the event those two tie, the tiebreaker goes to conference records, where they are both currently 7-3.

Striker wants a high pick to solve McCoy's problems, ergo I can't imagine him wanting to win one or both of his games against Ramirez - going to four wins moves him from the 1 or the 2 pick all the way down to the 5 or 6. Big drop-off.

So that puts Ramirez up to 10-4, a loss to FMT is 10-5 and then he finishes at 11-5 if he beats Storybook.

If Wellie loses to Houston, he goes to 8-5 and beats Balb, Storybook and Levious (he said he's never beat him because they've only played once). Both finish 11-5, Ramirez finishes a game ahead of him in the division tiebreaker and wins the AFC North.

If Wellie beats Houston, he stays at 4 losses (finishing 12-4) and Ramirez is down a game with a loss to FMT. If he finishes at 11-5 he'll be competing for a spot with Crow (who will finish 11-5, easiest remaining schedule of Wildcard teams) and possibly myself.

But the wildcard logic probably goes haywire and people get screwed!

AFC East Division "Race"
  • Sanjo (5-6) games left: IND, WAS, DEN, MIA, BUF
  • Mik (5-6) games left: TEN, SD, MIA, DEN, NE
  • Drizz (5-7) games left: PHI, BUF, NE, MIA
  • Ferney (5-6) games left: WAS, KC, PHI, NYG, MIA

The short version. The winner of the division will be no better than 8-8. Everyone in this division has two "guaranteed" losses on their schedule. So it's going to come down to the head to head and division records. Which could end up putting the Drizz in at 8-8.

I wonder how the tie-breakers are handled. I'm tied with the saints for the last playoff spot in the NFC. I've got one guaranteed loss left.

Yeah and you also have to play FMT, that's gonna suck.

  • Crow (6-6) games left: MIN, CHI, NE, BUF, KC
  • Nightz (6-5) games left: JAX, BUF, BAL, DET, OAK

The Crow loss and Nightz week 17 game with Rors put the AFC West Wildcard candidates at 6 losses at the season's end (best case for both guys). This slides the win total for Wild card berths down to 5 and slightly loosens up the remainder of the schedule for the rest of the Wildcard candidates.

Crow will probably tank to go 6-10 and get a better pick since he probably can't make the playoffs!

mik is unbeatable
Drizz doesn't play Miami--he is Miami. And the Bills are 6-6 and don't have to play TEN anymore.

Ferny is playing pretty well right now, too. So, I wouldn't count him out even though he still has to play the Giants and the Dream Team. It's gonna be a wild finish--the race for mediocrity always is!
