Balance Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Marvin Harrison owners- Keep an eye on him. He's supposed to have a broken bone in his hand. But all of his yards Sunday are supposed to have been gained after the break happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heirdog Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Championship game for me but have some decisions: QB (need 1): I had the worst luck with QB this year: Culpepper, Bulger and Leftwich all were my QBs at one point McNair vs. Miami (opponent has Drew Bennett) Garrard vs. Houston RB (need 1 to go with Cadillac) Moats vs. Arizona Edge vs. Seattle (limited carries for sure) Bettis vs. Cleveland Marion Barber vs. Carolina WR (need 1 to go with LFitz and Steve Smith) Derrick Mason vs. Minnesota Donte Stallworth vs. Detroit Defense (need 1) Patriots vs. NYJ Dolphins vs. Tenn Bucs vs. Atl Kicker (need 1) Vanderjagt vs. Seattle Akers vs. Arizona Rackers vs. Philly Tynes vs. San Diego The ones I am leaning towards are bolded. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Can anyone tell me what playoff system is employed on your fantasy football league? I have a malcontent on my league who is going crazy because I had an 8 team playoff with no 1st week bye. He was the number one seed and lost to the 8 seed, and the guy is blowing a gasket calling the league unprofessional and such because it doesnt mimic the NFL close enough. Now keep in mind that this is a league that I paid for(60 bucks) and there is no entry fee, so there is no pot. Yet, we had a little mini-bet in the league through the year on rookie contributions, and the same guy won the only monetary award that my league had to offer, which was best buy certificates that i paid for. And I still get complaints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I still get complaints. Well, we use a four team playoff system...ans it seems to work the best. It gives credit to the guys that have performed all year. I can see an 8 team playoff having a bye week, since you're letting almost all the teams make the playoffs, but tell that dude to chill. He knew the rules...He lost....tell him to get over it. It's hard to have a bye cause most leagues, and I don't know if yours is the case, but most leagues end their season this week. Since the last week is a total mess with teams resting their players. If you were to have a bye week , you have to have 3 weeks of playoffs. So either you're playing week 17, when who the hell knows who's starting, or you're starting your playoffs week 14 shrinking your season by one game. I'd say the best solution is go to a 4 team playoff next year, but either way this isn't even about money, so whats this guys problem...the fact still remains he got beat fair and square. Tell him to have a coke and a smile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First place regular season gets a bye in week 14. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I still get complaints. We have a 12-team league where 6 teams make the playoffs. (3 "division" winners and 3 wild cards.) Would I structure my league's playoffs the way yours did? Probably not. However, if the rules for playoff seedings were announced at the beginning of the year, and all teams abided by them, then he has no grounds to complain.

Kyyle23 Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 There was no surprises, the playoff system is there for anyone to see. The bottom line in my league is that it was about fun. There is no pot for the league winner, and this guy already won the only awards that my league had to offer. I had an 8 team playoff because it was about playing for a few more weeks. And I think this has to do with the fact that he lost more than anything. This was an 11-3 #1 seed losing to a 6-8 #8 seed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
