Damnit Phil! I'm stressed enough with real life football, I don't need you throwing FOUR interceptions in my fantasy team!

[D-Lyrium]

Well, that was hands down the NFL game of the year so far. Inconsolable afterwards though.

 

Hats off to the Cowboys. That offensive line is ridiculous. Zeke is ridiculous (though at the rate they're using him he'll be gone soon). Dak Prescott is legit.

 

And we still almost had 'em.

 

The Steelers, Saints and Chargers all lost in the final seconds, and MLT's going to beat me in our fantasy league. Worst. Sunday. Ever. Not even the Titans shredding the Packers could cheer me up.

[D-Lyrium]

So, MLT needs 34 points from Eli, Odell and Nugent...

 

 

Hey, Mr Burfict. I know in the past I've said some pretty disparaging things, such as "he belongs in the Roman arenas, the UFC is too civilized for the [expletive]", and you may have taken that to mean I don't like you. And my signature may appear on a petition to ban you from the NFL for life.

However, you see that man in the blue #10 jersey? The guy throwing the football? That's Ben Roethlisberger! It may not look like him, but trust me. It's him.

 

Go get him, boy! Go! Destroy!

 

¬_¬

[K-Nection]

So I have 150 and Wookies have 123 with Andy Dalton still to play tonight....I don't see him scoring 28 points on a normal week but it is the Giants secondary they are dealing with here so it's going to be interesting. I like the Bengals personally but this time I would like to see Andy take the fall.....good god fantasy warps your way of thinking doesn't it?

That is not Rottenburger, that is Eli, the better Manning!

I agree with you! I hate when you have to choose between your favorite team, or your fantasy defense Those days make me want to cry!

How very Vikings of me...

[D-Lyrium]

Hah.

 

Overall though, for my second season in fantasy football, I'm not doing too bad.

 

GDS: 6-4, (joint) top of the division.

Pub PPR: 6-4, top of the division.

UK FB group league: 7-3, top of the division

Pub auction: 5-5, 2nd, 3GB (my first ever auction league )

 

So yeah, not too disappointed.

 

Oh, and for the record: Britt 17, Hopkins 9. ¬_¬ Kenny had more receiving yards than Brock Osweiler had passing yards. Nothing against Hopkins, Osweiler was the reason I got rid. Dude isn't good.

I know that's partially a jab at me, but I just can't be bothered with my 10-0, division-clinching awesomeness on display.

 

How did you go from the worst team last year to the best one this year? Yeah I'm Salty!

[Imarevenant]

oh wow, I thought my season was pretty much over here. Didn't realize I could sneak into the playoffs

[K-Nection]

Same here if I win the rest of my games I would be right in there possibly the number 2 seed and I have a losing record at the moment

[D-Lyrium]

I swear man, after the AJ Green first quarter injury, if I lose this because of the Detroit defence... :@

 

Edit: It's going to bloody happen, isn't it? The Lions scored three TDs, the defence scored two of them, Stafford scored none and I'm going to lose because of it.

 

Unless Fiedorowicz has the game of his life...

[K-Nection]

<p>I don't know who Team Lombardi is but they just handed that win to Ayden today.....</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Ok looking at the teams that are in the playoffs and the ones in the loser's bracket almost every team could go either way because of everyone's close records. All we know is Swanny has the first seed and everyone else is in the middle. With the way it's going for Swanny it looks like it's a knockdown dragout to be number 2.</p>

[D-Lyrium]

Well, I guess being utterly wrecked by Robert Kelley is better than being narrowly beaten by the Detroit DST...

It's my consolation for losing both Green and Bernard for the season. Well, assuming it's actually a torn hamstring for Green like I heard.</p>

[moon_lit_tears]

Well I officially think Eisen is a mean person, he gave me an @ss whooping this week that I did not ask for.

[Crychon]

I only need 56 points from Cooper and Murray? Psh, no problem.

These next two weeks are must wins. Eisen you should go work on your dynasty and ignore this silly fantasy football thing this week that would be great!</p>

[D-Lyrium]

By my reckoning I need one more win to guarantee the playoffs. So... if this 4 game losing streak could end like Pittsburgh's did last week (which is to say, in wheezing, aching fashion falling forwards over the line half-dead), that'd be great.

 

I've got Pack in my last game, so... y'know.

[Rayelek]

Turned on the Vikings game, got a last minute inclination to play Adam Thielen, but he's already locked. Fingers crossed that doesn't come back to bite me.

[D-Lyrium]

For the second week running my opponent's WR will get a zero, this time no doubt due to screwy Thanksgiving schedule. Let's hope this week goes better than last week for me.
