Looks like I won't be watching the Super Bowl this year...

I'm still alive gentlemen. I've never cared less about a fucking super bowl before

I'm getting a kick out of the Russell Wilson to the HOF threads. I like the kid, but he is Tebow with a better arm. I don't mean that as an insult, he is a quality leader and he doesn't shrink in the big moments. But that game was about Green Bay choking, not playing to win, not going for it on the road from the 6 inch line, running the ball on 3rd and 8 with Rodgers as your QB, giving up a fake field goal TD in that situation, going into a prevent defense and giving Wilson all day after forcing him into 4 picks by bringing heat, falling down in the open field after a pick, not knocking down the Hail Mary 2 point conversion, and good grief, not fielding the onside kick. They played SCARED. The Seahawks deserve credit for wanting it more.The Hawks better get their shit together or they are gonna get clobbered in the Super Bowl

Heading to Siesta Key beach today. Catch you guys later.

What's the plan for Feb Football Mocks? 5 per decade, 60's-10's?

 

[Nosferatu]

If everyone has the lineup they wanted posted (Thank you for posting them) we can all do our rankings now.

 

[Nosferatu]

The sooner we get the rankings sent in the sooner I will post the matchups.

 

[Nosferatu]

My rankings are done. In my point system there was only a 5 point difference between first and last. These seriously are so close anybody can win.

A couple things that ended up deciding ties for me is some teams didn't draft a backup catcher. That knocked you down a point. Also batting order, I thought a couple teams really had players batting where they shouldn't be, IN MY OPINION ANYWAY...

I had planned on grabbing Fisk in the extra rounds, but someone snagged him right before my pick! Then I noticed there were others without a backup and decided to let it roll...

I didn't knock the teams that didn't draft a backup catcher because we were never drafting complete teams. Halfway through the draft we were going with 2 relief pitchers per team, and we didn't change the rule to make the teams more complete, we changed it because we were going too fast. I graded mine off who had the best 25 players, graded Lineup and Rotation at 10 point max, pen at 8 and bench at 5. Tie breaker was rotation strength and how the lineup was made.
This was the best job by everyone, ever. My top squad had 31, 2nd had 30, 3 teams had 29, two had 28 and 1 had 27. So basically 4 points difference between team 1 and team 8. Great job

I will say, in the head to head matchups, I'm going to go with who I think would win based on matchups, and it might not match my list. Teams are so close, some are gonna match up better than others

The reason I added a backup catcher is because a team has at least 2 catchers on it and we added 5 extra players. If we didn't add those extra players I wouldn't have added a backup player. We made that decision of adding 5 extra guys early in the draft for people to decide what to do. This is also just my opinion.
