It looks to me like he pulled his bye week players and forgot to come back set his lineup. I don't think there was any tanking here, just an illegal lineup. The playoff structure in the league is designed against tanking and I think that is enough. I can't see anyone tanking a free keeper league. |

Has anybody seen HB lately? His lineup is illegal again this week.
Hopefully everything's okay. |

I edited HB's lineup to make legal. Hope everything is okay with him.

Must've missed this. Was my line-up illegal at some point?

Yeah, a couple of weeks ago you're lineup was illegal and gave me an easy win and the following week TLK fixed your lineup so that wouldn't happen again. Didn't you hear your name over the intercom??? |

Ah, so the division winners are in the playoffs, and then wild card is determined by the two teams with the highest total points? Record doesn't factor in at all?

Those were the rules from the start of the league. I'm not sure I like them either. I'll add playoff structure, as something to vote on after the year is over.

Last week of the season.
Looks like Vic's hero's will be a wildcard team with a .500 record. We need to change that rule for next year I think. |

At first I didn't like the whole point thing. But now that I've scored high in two leagues I'm in (this and a money league), I'm re-thinking it. In the other league, I was 4th in points and missed out on the playoffs (6 teams), meanwhile a team that's had crazy luck and is over 200 points behind me is ranked 4th.
We'll have to revisit this, but maybe only count points if the record is close? Like a one-game difference or something? And one wild card from each division. |

Personally, I think it's about wins...just like it is in the NFL. Use points as a tiebreaker if you must. |

To play devil's advocate... in the NFL, you can prepare your offense and defense. In fantasy, you can't do shit against the "offense" of another team. I think Bill Simmons wrote about this in a column this year. That it would be a bigger achievement to go undefeated in a fantasy season because of that fact.

I guess I feel like the 7th best team in the AFC.
I know if I was in the other division I would be sailing through to the finals |

The amount of points your team scores has nothing to do with your opponent, so even if you lose games because your opponent scores more than you, you can still make the playoffs in this league right now. I just scored more than you. |

I'm thinking for next year, we should do record, then record against division, and then points.
And not just because that would have benefited me this season .

VH is looking strong (thanks to Brady's worst game of the year coming in HH's playoff game). For me it's up to The Big 3 to come through.

Yeah, David Garrard on my bench would have been a better play than Brady

Even if Westbrook had scored, I'd still be down 2 right now going into tomorrow night and VH with Chester Taylor. In the end, it came down to me saying "you know, no matter how bad the weather is in New York, Brady will still have a better game than Garrard against the Steelers, also in snow". Whoops.

Ironically I would've been greatly helped had I played Big Ben from the same game vs. Romo, who also had his worst fantasy game of the season. Now I need a pretty big game from (the Vikings') Adrian Peterson... |

In my money keeper league I had a bye this week but I would've been faced with a similar decision...Brady, Favre, and Garrard...pick 2...and I would've likely taken Brady and Favre and would've lost. |

Of course
Lost in the semifinal and scored more than enough to beat both of the finals teams. I think that means I followed up last season's 2nd place with a 3rd place. So close, yet so far. SI
