Rule 14, Section 1, Article 9: ETA Or Rule 14, Section 5, Supplemental Note 2 (also Rule 3, Section 11, Article 1):

Barring the unlikely event that there is already a rule specifically requiring trades to be completed on the website (which would be an asinine rule anyway), the trade should go through. Only a completely inept commissioner would think otherwise. As in most cases, a league vote on the trade is...

And yet Team A has fewer wins than Team C. Now you propose that Team A can and should "earn" the final playoff spot over Team C by losing yet another game? Any fugazi league that allows, even encourages, a situation like this has problems, and being the ##### that exploits the situation makes...

You're presumably trying to do a lot of things. One of them is to get your team into the playoffs. Another is to foster a fun and positive league that rewards the best teams and won't disintegrate because of douchebaggery like tanking games.Small picture you might increase your chances of...

No. You owe it to Team C, and the rest of the league, to play your best starters. Team C being the team that would have earned the final playoff spot the right way if you hadn't thrown the last game of the year.

Oh, I know. But it's likely that you'd end up taking something close to the #2 scorer anyway. What else would you base the decision on? Most of the value of waiting until the end of the year to pick is that you can see how they performed.My point is, whoever you would take with that pick, for...

I may have worded my post poorly. I agree that 1.02 after the season is better than 1.01 before the season. But I think a lot of people would think it's like this:1.02...

NFL ANNOUNCES 2002-2009 SCHEDULE ROTATION The NFL announced the regular-season scheduling rotation for the next eight seasons (2002 through 2009) under the realignment plan that will take effective this season. The interconference and intraconference divisional matchups – comprising 14 of each...

I'd take the 1.02 pick after the season every single time. However, I think the ROI on that pick might not be as great as you would think (compared to taking the 1.01 before the season). 1.02 after the season isn't necessarily a sure bet to be a dynasty stud.

[(Go for it) + (Kick it away)] / 2I think that's some kind of wildcat variant involving the punter. :pics:

Sorry JB, didn't mean any offense. And normally I love a good hypothetical, but I don't see how that can be done here. Before anything else, we need to define an "average" team. What is an "average" team, for the purposes of this question?Then, let's say we come up with a clear enough...

If you're asking about Jack Del Rio coaching against the Falcons, then you're not throwing out all of the relevant factors. You're replacing "Belichick" and "Colts" with "Del Rio" and "Falcons". That question can be answered. Asking what an "average" team should do against another "average"...

I know. That's why I said it's not apples to apples. But if Joe is creating this hypothetical where it's two evenly matched, "average" teams, I'll probably take my chances with picking up the two yards, and if that fails, with stopping them from scoring a TD from 28 yards out. When we're...

A co-worker just asked me, "If you were a Colts fan, would you want to see the Pats lining up to punt there, or lining up to go for it?" I would rather see them lining up to punt. At least then I know (essentially) that I am getting the ball back. There is no way I'm comfortable with the idea...

Answering the OP is essentially impossible. You can't just throw out all of the relevant factors and assume two "average" teams. Specifically last night, I think it was the right call. If you use league averages, I think the numbers agree. If you agree with these numerical assumptions then...

:goodposting: I said the same thing when it happened. I could have sworn this was a delay of game penalty. And if it isn't now, it certainly should be. Otherwise any time a coach wants a de facto time out he can just throw the red challenge flag on the field.ETA: Just re-read the OP more...

Can we please stop with the "can someone check #______" posts? It's TWO DOLLARS. OC puts a lot of work into this every year and it's a slap in the face for people to skirt the rules every week to save TWO DOLLARS. If you care enough about your entry to post in this thread every week, pay the...

Why? Last year the week ten cut was 153. There are only two teams on bye this week, and anyone left this far into the contest has a pretty strong team. I don't see why it wouldn't be in the 140s at least.
