The playoffs will be handled on here since we don't need anything more than a bracket. Guys who lost last year didn't bother inputting stats, anyway. :\

CB: you don't play him first since he has a bye. You play MWS.

MrBob: play your games! >:| All you need is two wins
Or 4 losses

Week night games against east coasters is pretty much an impossibility for me at this point. I've been working late and when I come home I spend time with my girlfriend. If I picked madden over her she'd kill me.

After like 10:30 Pm PST on week nights is probably the safest time for me, usually although this has been kind of a bad week.

I keep trying to get games in on weekends but to no avail.

Ratings Up
S Mike Brown – Bears – 87 to 88 – Was flashing big time hit power in Sunday’s debacle to the Packers.
T John St. Clair – Bears – 73 to 76 – Has played better than expected or past performance would indicate. Chris Williams is back now so he might be moving to the bench at some point.
FB Peyton Hillis – Broncos – 78 to 79 – Got a trucking increase by showing he can move the pile at the NFL level vs. the Falcons.
HB Jerome Harrison – Browns – 77 to 78 – Got a speed increase after he turned on the jets Monday night.
CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie – 80 to 81 – Flashed big ability in grapping a couple picks vs. the Seahawks.
DT Glenn Dorsey – Chiefs – 80 to 82 – Has made more plays recently, especially in last week’s game vs. the Saints.
LB Joey Porter – Dolphins – 92 to 94 – Continues to be a monster off the edge.
LB Stewart Bradley – Eagles – 80 to 81 –
DE Darren Howard – Eagles – 82 to 84 – Is thriving in the ‘Justin Tuck’ role. Playing inside on passing downs has revived his career.
DT Jonathan Babineaux – Falcons – 82 to 84 – Is having a big year with 7 tackles for loss thus far.
DE Jamaal Anderson – Falcons – 81 to 82 – Is starting to pressure the QB more frequently after not having a sack his rookie year.
C Shaun O’Hara – Giants – 92 to 94 – Dominated Justin Bannan one on one in the Giants big day over the Ravens.
FB Madison Hedgecock – Giants - 88 to 89 – Has had quite the resurgence after being released by the Rams last season.
S Michael Johnson – 81 to 83 – Looks to have won the fight with Kenny Phillips. Has played very well in coverage this season. Phillips and Johnson now start together.
HB Derrick Ward – Giants – 82 to 84 – Signed a 1 year deal this year and looks to cash in this offseason in free agency after a big season with the best O-line going.
HB Ahmad Bradshaw – Giants – 82 to 83 – Looks to have his role expanded next season as the key backup.
G Rich Seubert – Giants – 91 to 92 – Starts at LG for the dominate offensive line in pro football.
G Chris Snee – Giants – 95 to 96 – One of or the dominate RG in the NFL.
LB Justin Durant – Jaguars – 83 to 85 – Speedy LB for the Jags who will be a big part of the defense for many years.
S Gerald Sensabaugh – Jaguars – 79 to 81 – Starting now at safety for the Jaguars after moving the former starter back to cornerback.
HB Leon Washington – Jets – 82 to 83 – Got some more speed after making some big plays against the Patriots that the Jets had to have.
S Abram Elam – Jets – 76 to 79 – Has been making big plays and is now starting again at safety after being a backup earlier in the year.
TE Dustin Keller – Jets – 80 to 82 – Looks to be developing chemistry with Brett Favre. He will need to be clicking against undefeated Tennessee.
HB Thomas Jones – Jets – 89 to 90 – Had to have heard Leon Washington’s footsteps and has returned in a big way after a down year last year. The upgrade to the OL surely helped.
QB Matt Cassell – Patriots – 78 to 79 – Got a boost in speed and acceleration as he showed scrambling ability vs. the Jets. Still someone is gonna pay this guy way too much.
LB Gary Guyton – Patriots – 73 to 78 – The Pats 3rd MLB gets plenty of time and valuable experience as he will no doubt be a starter.
DE Aaron Smith – Steelers – 96 to 97 – Continued to be dominate and cave in the right side of the offensive line.
LB LaMarr Woodley – Steelers – 87 to 88 – Made a play in coverage last week in addition to making plays rushing the passer.
LB James Harrison – Steelers – 95 to 96 -
LB Xavier Adibi – Texans – 73 to 76 – Had a big game filling in for injured starter Morlon Greenwood.
CB Chris Carr – Titans – 71 to 76 – The star of the Jags/Titans game. Showed he can play CB in the NFL.
QB Kerry Collins – Titans – 81 to 82 – Showed the cannon a couple times vs. the Jags.
WR Justin Gage – Titans – 80 to 81 – Got a speed increase after he proved he is healthy vs. the Jags with some big plays.
LB Chad Greenway – Vikings – 88 to 89 – Has been the one that stepped up after the loss of E.J. Henderson.

Ratings Down
QB Trent Edwards – Bills – 83 to 82 – Continued his string of poor performances on Monday night vs. the Browns.
S Calvin Lowry – Broncos – 77 to 75 – Made some very bad plays in pursuit vs. the Falcons.
CB Karl Paymah – Broncos – 77 to 73 – Did a lot of damage to his value by his poor play this season.
CB Brandon McDonald – Browns – 82 to 78 – Was demoted in the Browns secondary. Not a good thing for longevity.
WR Braylon Edwards – Browns – 95 to 92 – Catching was lowered due to his ability not to be able to hang onto the ball.
WR Patrick Crayton – Cowboys – 82 to 80 – Might have his role expanded after the injury to Miles Austin. Was not involved with the addition of Roy Williams and the emergence of Austin.
CB Drayton Florence – Jaguars – 85 to 81 – Was demoted to nickel back causing a shift in the secondary. Was burned last week vs. the Titans.
DT Rob Meier – Jaguars – 86 to 82 – Has not played as well as he did last season.
DE Paul Spicer – Jaguars – 86 to 83 – Another guy on the Jags defensive line not playing to expectations.
LB Ernie Sims – Lions – 93 to 91 – Has not been a difference maker on defense.
S Michael Huff – Raiders – 85 to 78 – Facts are facts. This guy is a bust.
LT Kwame Harris – Raiders – 78 to 74 – On the short list for worst starting LT in the league. Leads the league in false starts.
QB JaMarcus Russell – Raiders – 79 to 75 – Continues to display very bad downfield accuracy. Anytime he is off the Raiders play calling leash he shows how long he still has to go.
CB Tye Hill – Rams – 81 to 75 – This year has been a disaster after he expected big things at the start of the season.
DT La’Roi Glover – Rams – 82 to 78 – Has now been relegated to being blown off the ball as a backup.
LB Will Witherspoon – Rams – 90 to 89 – Looked completely horrendous and hobbled in last week’s game against the 49ers.
QB Marc Bulger – Rams – 87 to 85 – Had another horrendous start vs. the Jets. Was able to rack up passing attempts and yards after they were down by 30 points.
WR Torry Holt – Rams – 94 to 93 – Not able to separate like the old Torry Holt. Now he might be old Torry Holt.
G Anthony Herrera – Vikings – 87 to 83 – Has been beaten too often this year in pass protection.
T Ryan Cook – Vikings – 84 to 81 – Has been benched in Minnesota at RT.

HB Earnest Graham – Bucs – IR

I am so fucked. Yay...right in time for playoffs. The Raiders had an incredible amount of stealth downgrades the last few weeks and these published downgrades will hurt me further. The loss of Madsen is the worst.

This team is such shit. :( 1 and done.

So, what do you guys say? Launch playoffs now and get this thing rolling?

Looks like MrBob may get away with not playing his games after all! \o/ Wellie is selling his game and I haven't seen FMT in a while.

So....let's do this thing?

DM needs to win at least one more game before he can't rightfully claim the top spot. If we start now, I think I should claim the top seed. I shouldn't get penalized for playing all my games!

Fuck! I've been using Derek Smith as a starter at MLB! He was a 78! He had 36 tackles and 4 sacks!

Lame, should've got my games in sooner.

DCX didn't we play already? You're the Falcons right? Are you in control of another team on my roster?

Tomorrow afternoon I might be able to get some games in. Unless one of you East coasters is up late tonight.

Frankman make your time! When do you want to play!

If DM loses that final game, I own the tiebreaker due to having a better conference record. I lost my final game, and who's to say he wouldn't lose his either!

Play that final game DM, be a man like JGar used to be!

No, I mean he did play it and won against me using the Vikes. Final score was 21-18.

Even if he does play that game against Dskillz, he owns the tie breaker on you, so you're 2nd seed.

Not to beat a dead horse, but you're not correct. Should DM lose he would be second because all of his loses would have came against NFC opponents. I have two losses vs NFC comp and one loss vs the AFC.

What tiebreaker scenario are you basing your perspective off of?

Oh...hadn't looked on your schedule, but he has an 11-2 record vs the NFC and you have a 10-2 record. He was scheduled only 2 AFC games, unfortunately. Sorry, I didn't make the schedule.

I guess you want to go by percentage where you beat him by a tiny margin. Yes, that's how the NFL decides it, but the NFL also doesn't schedule teams unevenly like that.

I'll see if DM wants to play another game, but he's not around right now, tomorrow is Sunday, and I'm not expecting him to sacrifice real football for it. Doesn't look like these first round games will get done by then, though. I'll see how his Monday looks.

So the Chargers advance with a 20-7 victory capped by a 95 yard TD pass that was tipped by my safety and he just quit on the play as the ball ended up in the WRs hands and took it to the house. That set the tone for this wacky game. Good luck Blue, he has momentum on his side.

Final score:

Chargers 20
Browns 7

Play of the game:

http://www.easportsworld.com/en_US/video/2371484

Edit: Thanks DCX, the game had all sorts of Madden hijinks. Tipped deep ball for TD, random face mask penalties at inopportune times, dropped passes, dropped INTs.

There was one play where Chambers had no one on top of him at the line and somehow the throw still didn't come close to him.
