Falcons

Miami Dolphins defense.

Possibly I should have picked the Cleveland Brownes.

Nobody wanted Miami offense this week.

I guess I'll just make do with their defense.

Methinks you spoke too soon. They really let the Texans back in that game. Leggy finished with only 2 points for the week though, so you need four touchdowns from your offenses to tie. It's most likely a win for you as long as Arizona doesn't fall flat again this week.

I honestly would have picked their offense instead, given the choice. :P

But yeah, that's a lot of garbage time points to give up. Yeesh.

Hey all,

Sorry for the delay. At various points this week, I've either forgotten about this entirely or have just been too busy with baby prep to get to it. Now I seem to have misplaced the flash drive that all my league data is on. I probably left it at work. Here's a link to the schedules. Just look up Week 8. It's a non-conference week. Golden and I have to draft supplemental teams this week. Golden drafts first and needs a defense. I need an offense. I'll send him a PM.

A few quick notes on the Week 7 results:

-I beat DH
-Turnip Head beat MP07
-Epi beat Golden
-MM89 beat Leggy

Golden picked the Tennessee defense. I am selecting the Atlanta offense. Still looking for my flash drive.

No recaps this week, just scores and standings:



Now that Epi has won two games, last place has a new face. Tough break, MP.



WEEK 8 MATCH-UPS:

DharmaHelper (3-4) v. Leggyorlyb (4-3)
Epignosis (2-5) v. MovingPictures07 (1-6)
G-Man (5-2) v. Metalmarsh89 (6-1)
Golden (3-4) v. Turnip Head (4-3)

G-Man has a pretty weak SOS. :P

If my math is correct, I edged G-Man this week 40-36. That was close.

Metalmarsh89 wrote:If my math is correct, I edged G-Man this week 40-36. That was close.

You got the right margin of victory. You beat me 50-46. I'm surprised I was able to do that well against you with a substitute offense. I was expecting to get blown away. I have to pick a substitute defense for next week, so I can see myself losing two weeks in a row.

The next supplemental draft is going to be pretty crazy. Five players picking a combined six substitute teams. I know MP07 has the first pick but #2 and #3 is up in the air between Leggy and DH. The NFL uses strength of schedule to determine draft order and I need to wait until MNF is over to calculate their respects SOS's. DH beat Leggy this weekend though, so do I use the head-to-head or SOS? I think DH's SOS may be weaker due to Leggy playing against MM89. What do you think?

Man, what a poor streaming choice for Golden. This puts me in a good spot.

New York Giants wrote:New York: 49 points scored

Out of the choices I had, I'm pretty ok with Tennessee only conceding 20.

On the other hand, I'm disappointed with how rubbish the Bills have been for me

Can you guys help me with my math homework?

What's 52+23-P?

I just PM'ed this to everyone in this week's draft, but here's the lowdown:

Draft order:

1. MovingPictures07
2. DharmaHelper
3. Leggyorlyb
4. G-Man
5. Metalmarsh89
6. Leggyorlyb

Here is a chart showing who we have already picked and which teams are still available to us. All eight undrafted teams are playing this weekend.



Either PM me with your pick or post it here.

Recaps, scores, and standings coming at lunchtime.

Also, here is what everyone needs to pick this week:

MP07: Defense

DH: Offense

Leggy: An offense and a defense (please specify which function you draft your first team for)

G-Man: Defense

MM89: Offense

MP07 selected the San Francisco 49ers defense. Now it is DH's turn to pick.

DH has selected the Oakland Raiders for his offense. It is now Leggyorlyb's turn to pick.

Predictions?

I've been meaning to ask, what do the last two columns in your charts mean, G-Man?

Metalmarsh89 wrote:I've been meaning to ask, what do the last two columns in your charts mean, G-Man?

The "Top O's" column shows how many times each of us had one of the two highest-scoring offenses from the NFL weekend as our active offense. The "Top D" column shows how many times each of us had the best NFL defense active as our defense. I think I originally was going to use them as tie-breakers but then I came to fully understand all the NFL tie-breaking rules and don't really need them anymore.

Golden will take down the mighty marmot, thats my prediction.

Thanks for losing to me TH.

Kinda like Smashfest?

Actually, I forget your character.

I didn't count on winning this week, what with subbing in a defense, but if the Colts don't slow down, I may finally get buried. The Chip Kelly Experiment cannot be counted on to bail me out of a hole much deeper than the one I'm currently in.

I need San Diego to score 39 points tonight to beat Golden. They've got the potential, but that's still a pretty large amount.

I'm doing so terribly in my fantasy football league, this is all I have!

Me too!

Did I win?

Hey, I just remembered G-Man is probably still looking after his wife's new baby.

Metalmarsh89 (1 offense off)

So this week only Turnip Head and I have to draft supplementary teams to play. I haven't done the math on the current standings, but I was 3 games up on TH before this week, so he'll be going first.

Here are the teams to choose from.

• Atlanta Falcons - on bye
  Cleveland Browns
  Jacksonville Jaguars
  Miami Dolphins
  Oakland Raiders
  San Francisco 49ers - on bye
  Tennessee Titans
  Washington Redskins

You're up TH.

I want the Oakland offense.


There's something I never thought I'd say before the season.

I'll take Washington Redskins offense.

Never thought I'd say that either.

You guys are awesome. Thanks for taking care of your supplemental picks on your own. As MM theorized, I have not had much time for extra-circulars lately. Baby is doing well. Mommy is dealing with post-delivery high blood pressure though, so we've had a week's worth of doctor's appointments between both ladies. Here are the scores and standings from Week 9:





Once again, I used NFL tie-breaking rules to determine the standings. It's getting close!




WEEK 10 MATCH-UPS:
DharmaHelper (5-4) v. Metalmarsh89 (7-2)
Epignosis (4-5) v. G-Man (5-4)
Golden (5-4) v. MovingPictures07 (1-8)
Leggyorlyb (4-5) v. Turnip Head (5-4)

Hey DH, how about that free agent pickup?

Any other week I'd be thrilled with Kansas City only giving up 13 points. This week, however, not so much. They hadn't let up a single point during the first three quarters for crying out loud. Epi edged me out by one stinking point.

I was talking about picking up Washington's offense because I play you this week. :P

Ohhh


Well damn.

Quick check in- I'll post the images of the scores and standings later tonight. Long story short, all four Civvie Conference teams won.

Here is the final supplemental draft order:

1. Turnip Head (already used Miami & Oakland)
2. Epignosis (already used Atlanta & Cleveland)
3. Golden (already used Cleveland & Tennessee)

All three of you need an offense for the weekend.

Atlanta

What are the available teams?

Epignosis wrote:What are the available teams?

Now that Atlanta has been claimed, the remaining choices are:

Jacksonville
Miami
Oakland
San Francisco
Tennessee
Washington


Cleveland is on bye this week.

Like I said, all of the Civvie Conference teams won:


Which means the standings didn't change:



WEEK 11 MATCH-UPS:

DharmaHelper (5-5) v. Leggyorlyb (5-5)
Epignosis (5-5) v. MovingPictures07 (1-9)
G-Man (5-5) v. Golden (6-4)
Metalmarsh89 (8-2) v. Turnip Head (5-5)


It's still Epi's turn to pick a substitute team.

G-Man / 5-5 / 332 PF / 175 PA
leggylorlyb / 5-5 / 143 PF / 174 PA

This league is nuts!

It's not that leggy has had good luck. It's just that obviously karma shines favourably on the civvies. Thats what you get for being baddies.

Give me Tennessee.

It's weird. When I've won, I've won by huge margins. When I've lost, it hasn't been by much. The most I've lost by is 13 points.

We'll see if karma shines favorably on cowards this weekend.


It's Golden the Coward's turn to pick.

I'll take Oakland
