[Bandit]

clean sweep of Keepers of the Flame, Suicide, and Coma league for me this week - only took me 13 tries, but I finally nailed them all!!!

Way to go Monkey you deserve it, I've said all along that your team is much better than it's record.

 

[Yellow Fuzzies]

This just puts a nice cap on what had been a complete disaster of a fantasy season for me. I'm limping into the playoffs of my money league, out and in second to. Last place in another, smaller stakes money league, and Monkey might have the worst record in our MBBRL, but I have undoubtedly the worst team. Sad thing is, even if I hadn't pulled the boner of trading Julio for AP, I'd still have the exact same record.

Moves aren't paying off like they usually do for me, those gut feelings are turning out to actually be indigestion... just horribly awful year. Been tough.

Don't get me wrong-I appreciate it, but Drew Stanton over Crybaby Rivers?

 

[tlance]

Sorry I had to replace all of my electronics after bashing them all with a sledge hammer. 2nd in points, 4th in breakdown and 6-6-1. Oh how I hate this game sometimes. Great job though Tlance. That was some recovery after your Cowboys laid an egg on Thanksgiving. It was especially brutal just watching my lead slowly melt away as my quarterback kept handing off to your running back.

Once the Cowboy game ended, I never thought I had a realistic chance until the last drive. I kept expecting Peyton to throw a TD to Sanders or Welker and to put it on ice.

There are many strong teams in this league, but you and Fuzzy are the two I fear most. While your team clearly deserves to be in the playoffs, I don't think the rest of the playoff squads will be too upset to see that you are not. That is one heck of a team you have Bandit!

 

[tlance]

Now for my next miracle:

I am on the playoff bubble in my $ league. Bad luck and a couple bad QB choices have me in all finished at 7-6 with the 3rd highest point total in The league. In order for my team to get in, I need for BOTH of the 6-6-1 teams ahead of me to lose this week. Here are the scenarios:

Team A- up 14, opponent has Mike Wallace
Team B- down by 7 with MIA DST and Eric Decker

Ties work for me because I have the points tie breaker on both. What are the odds that Wallace gets 14 or more and MIA plus Decker gets 7 or less?

I think maybe 5%

 

[TREFF]

I'd say the Wallace deal is 50/50, but the Dolphins D should score more than 7 by themselves.

Your %5 may be a bit generous. BUt hey, due to forgetting about it until yesterday afternoon, I had to take the Jets in the eliminator challenge,, so I'll be pulling for them to score a bunch

Wk 13 MNF look ahead

BATG-

2 official finals,
Trudem bests Milk, 117-94. The Bell twins, Leveon and Joquie lead the way over Milk's usually strong trio of WR's and Gronk

Harold destroyed TK, 136-86. Andrew Luck is hard to beat, but when you add in a rare big game from Keenan Allen, magic happens.

2 others are decided but ongoing-
SP leads Foot, 120-98, and still has Lamaar Miller tonight.

OBX leads Micro, 112-94, OBX still has Clay this evening.

And two games still, at least technically, up for grabs-

Chef currently leads BK, 124-82. BK needs 42 from the Dolphins D to force a tie. Stranger things have happened

And the one that actually is still very much in doubt, Shady leads Smitty by five, 98-93. Shady is spent, Smitty has Jarvis Landry going tonight, needing at least six for the win.

4 players for the Barbarians tonight- L. Miller, Clay, 'PHins D, and J. Landry

KOTF

Again, 2 official finals-
Tlance edged Bandit, 114-113. Tlance was able to overcome the early stumble from Romo/Dez on Thursday with big games late last night from CJ Anderson and D.T. a Bit of a clunker from Peyton sealed Bandit's fate this week.

Ram also edged Lefty, but by a tiny bit more, 102-98. Drew Brees, Julio Jones and the Bills D accounted for all but 16 of Ram's points, but it proved to be enough as Lefty had decent performances form the entire lineup, but no standouts.

One Game that's decided but ongoing-

Monkey has defeated TKO 110-85, for win #2, and still has Jarvis Landry to try and add to it tonight.

And 3 games that are still, at least technically, still in doubt

This one isn't really in doubt, but...Fuzzy leads Treff 110-71. I need 40 form Chris Ivory tonight. I'm not holding my breath.

Barilko leads Joe, 125-95, but Joe has Wallace and the 'Phins D tonight. entirely possible to get a thirty burger between the two.

And finally, WillDuff holds a lead on SAm, 114-91. Sam is pinning his playoff hopes and dreams on Trannyhill tonight..something I wouldn't ever dream of doing, but what the hell do I know? I'm packing my bags and headed for the Barbarians camp.

The Keepers have 5 going tonight- Phin's D, Tranny, Landry, Ivory and Wallace.

Barbarians currently lead week 13 by 23 points, 1251-1228

Difference makers tonight are Lamaar Miller and Clay for the Barbarians, and Ivory, Tranny and Wallace for the Keepers.

Off-topic: a genius filmmaking friend of mine from my days at NYU has a project up on kickstarter. Take a look; chip in if you can. He does fantastic stuff.

On-topic: The White Beers need Tannehill to be held under 23 to stave off elimination.

Oh, and Ivory to bust out for 40. Is that too much to ask?

Call me crazy, but I do think it is possible that the Fins D puts up a dud without Decker doing much. IF the Jets are able to run the football successfully early on (which will undoubtedly be the game plan) and stay close, the Jets could avoid those costly sacks and TOs.

14 points allowed with 0 sacks and 0 TOs is 1 point in my league. I realize that Geno gives away interceptions like Halloween candy, but I do think there is a remote chance if game flow works in their favor.

looks like theres at least three of us rooting for the impossible out of Ivory tonight.

Really I don't think it is too much to ask. If Jonas Gray can do it......

Shit that's right...GO IVORY! !

 

[averagejoe]

wowsa i dropped Stills for Floyd prob cost me a win...Bonehead..

Wow. You must reall be a pessemist. You're up 30 points & I have Wallace & the Fins. Geno smith will have to throw a couple pick-6 for me to have a chance.

 

[Yellow Fuzzies]

Whoa there Cowboy!

 

[tlance]

1 down, 39 to go!

No offense Fuzz, but I have come to realize that if Treff gets what he wants, I am more likely to get what I need. I don't like the early Decker targets or the near picks, however.

Just can't bring myself to watch this Monday night game. I will check on the site occasionally to see Ivory's progress toward 40.

Don't worry Fuzz. Jets got like 80 rushing yards on that TD drive and none where from Ivory. 2 reverses and a long run form CJ .5K

 

[tlance]

So far so good!

Wallace needs either: 80 more yards (2 point bonus for 100) or 40 and a TD.
Decker + MIA = 4 and the Jets run game is working.

 

[tlance]

Sorry Treff, your thing ain't happening. CJ running too well.

 

[tlance]

We had a neutral 2nd Q.

Decker + Miami still = 4, but Wallace only got 7 more yards. Need a big play from Wallace, which may jeopardize NY's ability to keep it on the ground.
