Well I finished the season is style winning 4 of my last 5 games. Too bad I couldn't put together any kind of game before I had no chance for a playoff spot.

Here's hoping for a better season 2 for the Falcons.
 
lets finish these last few games up so the playoffs can start! here are the remaining games that need to be played:

Arizona Cardinals at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
San Diego Chargers at Green Bay Packers
New York Jets at Cincinnati Bengals
Carolina Panthers at Dallas Cowboys
Seattle Seahawks at Detroit Lions
Pittsburgh Steelers at Chicago Bears
Houston Texans at New Orleans Saints
Minnesota Vikings at Miami Dolphins

Colts at Jets
 
also, it's going to literally come down to the game between azyuma and coldblooded to see who gets into the playoffs. here are some of the possibilities in the league:

IF azyuma beats cold:

* azyuma and gunstar get into the playoffs. coldblooded is out because it comes down to record against common opponents. Azyuma would be the #5 seed, philly the #6.

IF coldblooded beats azyuma:

* cb and gunstar are in the playoffs. azyuma is out.

IF the cowboys win and the seahawks lose:

* the cowboys win the division and are the #3 seed

If the cowboys lose or the seahawks win:

* Seahawks win the division, #3 seed


it's coming down to it!
 
and JUST so there is no mistakes, observe these official nfl playoff matchup rules that we will be playing by!

Wild Card Round:

#3 seed Vs. #6 seed
#4 seed Vs. #5 seed

#1 & #2 seeds get byes


Divisional Round

Lowest ranked seed remaining @ #1 seed
Other wildcard winner @ #2 seed

Conference Championship

Lowest seed remaining @ Highest seed remaining

Superbowl

FINAL 2!!!

FMT, I might be wrong, but if I lose and HG wins, I think I still get the division (at 8-8 WOOO :/ ) We split our 2 games (same score 17-14), I'm 5-2 in Division, he's 5-3. I'm 6-5 in conference, he's 5-7. I'm playing a divisional opponent, he's playing out of conference opponent.

So, if I lose, and he wins, we still have our split, we tie in Division at 5-3, that would make me 6-6 in conference, but he's still 5-7. Is there another tie breaker somewhere? All in all, it's WAY to close of a race ;) Heck, HG probably deserves to go more than me, after the last 2 "games".

I think your confusion is because of my confusion. I thought the tie breakers were head to head > division record > conference record. Fifty pointed out a few pages back that it's head to head, division, common opponents.

I am anxious for the playoffs. Yesterday I began labbing some plays against CP without letting him know. Some worked, some didn't. My offense will be firing on all cylinders and it looks like my championship D is back in top form. I feel bad for whoever matches up with me first!

What it comes down to for you guys since you are in the same division is common opponents since you are all tied everywhere else. Maybe I'm wrong but I saw these 3 common opponents on your schedules:

Bengals
Dolphins
Panthers

Seattle is 8-7 and beat Cincinatti but lost to Miami and Carolina, making you 1-2 amongst these common opponents.

Dallas is 7-8 and beat Cincinatti and lost to Miami. They play Carolina in week 17 and if they win, they move to 8-8 with a 2-1 record amongst these common opponents. Therefore if they win and you lose, Seattle misses out on the division due to the common opponents tiebreaker.

Wow that does kind of suck. If you played 2 different people as Carolina I would think those games should be disqualified as they are not "common opponents" in that case.

Just get Matrix to play HG last game, and everythings solved ;)


I was actually coming here to suggest the very same thing.

It's all good with me if Matrix playing helps prevent a tie-break nightmare for the playoffs.

Week 8 vs NEW ORLEANS SAINTS W 52-3



I am the prophet.

Anyway, no reason to replay games at this point ;)

I'm willing to play tonight, whatever the commishes say is good with me.

I haven't even played Madden since my week 17 game. I don't remember how to play. Go easy on me, week 1 was a fluke.

What button passes again?

I dont want to use the Panthers again :( Trust me I didnt play so hot with them last game Lonestar,HG would most likely be getting a free win if he played me or an easier win then playing DJ at this point.

KingV,when would you like to beat my Texans? I'm free starting from 9 pm eastern time.

Season ending awards will be done (obviously) shortly after the season is over. I've been really busy and haven't had the urge to do the week 15 awards (week 16 is almost done too)
I guess if people demand them we can do week 16 ones, but in trying to get the season done, week 15 will be overlooked.

Right now the rankings don't matter much anyway ;p You're either in the playoffs or you're not ;) We will have year end rankings I think, and season 2 preseason rankings for sure, unlike in season 1 when we didn't do that.

Also, team selection will probably open up as soon as everyone is done playing, so there's another incentive to finish your games.

Not for the NFC WildCard. It all comes down to my game with Azyuma to decide who makes the wildcard. We are gonna play tomorrow. THE PRESSURE!

Oh I know, there are a few important games left...I just mean that the season is over for most of you and the week 15 rankings are pretty pointless.s

I missed having two 1000 yard rushers by 33 yards. :( Way to go Fumbly McGee. Fumbling away that dream, and the hopes of a perfect season in two consecutive games.
