$%$% you dalton

Agree. I didn't even play against dalton this week but I hate it when that random guy plays out of his #### and upends a team in the playoffs

Is it really all that random? Dalton had a great 3 week stretch in the middle of the season and played really well for the 3 weeks leading up to yesterday. He had a A+ matchup for the championship game and was a smart play this week.

Depth matters in FF and Dalton was tremendous as a backup QB this year. In fact, he is QB4 in my league right now.

I don't really see it or him as random at all.

 

[VaTerp]

A real roller coaster of a season for me. Started off 7-1 and then lost 5 in a row to end the reg. season. Got in the playoffs as the 5 seed, got hot at the right time, and brought home my 6th championship in 12 years of my main league that I also commish.

Special thanks to Jamaal Charles whose consistency and dominant week 15 performance helped carry me through. And Andy Dalton ended up giving me the best backup QB play I've ever had.

 

[DWI]

It won't be official till after tonight but my buddy and me will win the Kentucky Fantasy Football Championship. KFFSC pays out $7500 plus an entry to the FFPC we were third last year in this event. Thank you goes out to Big Ben, Charles, Moreno, Vereen, Woodhead, Gordon, Jeffery, Antonio Brown, Vince Jackson, Jimmy Graham, Julius Thomas, The Cardinals and Bills

 

[xenith]

Big thanks to my boy Jamaal Charles, a consistent superstar all year! Also Antonio Brown, ditto! And timely title game performances from Demarco Murray, Julius Thomas, and the Buffalo defense (corresponding chuckle and nod to the Miami offense lol)!

Really though we'd have likely won anyway, an unfortunate slow game from my opponent for the title game, I've been in those shoes too and it bites hard...

Congrats to all the fortunate winners, and better luck for those of us who fell short in 2014!! I'm sure most of us have teams in both camps.

 

[emeraldhal]

Won my money idp league! Still have Dawson tonight

Went up against foles djax Reggie lynch and he benched Lacey

Rams d treated me very well and decker McCoy and my wrs

 

[Killtops]

I just won my first dynasty league championship, overcoming some difficult injuries. I took over my team six years ago with a wasteland of a roster and gradually turned it around.

My starting roster coming into the season: My Championship lineup:

QB - Drew Brees QB - Drew Brees

RB - Matt Forte RB - Matt Forte

RB - Frank Gore RB - Frank Gore

WR - Julio Jones WR - Eric Decker

WR - Victor Cruz WR - Michael Crabtree

WR - Reggie Wayne WR - Riley Cooper

TE - Antonio Gates TE - Jason Witten

FLEX - Stevan Ridley FLEX - Chris Johnson

K - Stephen Gostkowski K - Stephen Gostkowski

D/ST - Baltimore Ravens D/ST - Seattle Seahawks

Despite some obvious injury trouble, I finished first in points, and had the second seed in the playoffs. I had to park Reggie and Cruz, and I unloaded Julio for Decker, Crabtree and Seattle. I don't think this was a great value trade, but it ended up winning me a championship. Seattle won me my game semi final, and Decker won me the game this week (my opponent laid an egg, and I'm up 14 with Gore and Crab to go).

I also traded Gates and Anquan for Witten (not outstanding for this year, will look better and better) and picked up Cooper of waivers. I traded Ridley for Johnson and Miles Austin (cut a few weeks later) early in the season, banking on another strong CJ2K finish.

Very proud of this group and the moves made to win a championship. Congrats to all the other Champions this week!

I understand you are a happy dalton owner today. No problems with that. But,yes, it's random in the sense that he is not one of the every week guys that you can see this happen and say, "oh well, what can you do? After all, it's manning or brees" . When dalton has these games, it's atypical in the grand sense, like Marvin jones having that one huge days. He's a good player but not the guy you just tip your hat to when he is the main difference maker.

 

[Smarge]

I needed 3.5 pts and I have Vernon and the 9er D going, opponent has nobody going. Very real chance I'm about to lose somehow. Consider this a proactive venting post.

 

[Wild Young Billy]

Zero points for Vernon Davis. wow.

 

[Sarnoff]

Probably gonna lose with Manning as my QB. Had some good performers in other positions, too. Some mediocre ones, and a couple that pooped the bed. Still had a score that would have been high enough to beat almost every other team in almost every week in almost every game this season. But the guy I'm playing against is neck-and-neck there with me and has Kaepernick still to go. One of the highest-scoring games in league history and definitely the biggest one in a finals, ever. I have Phil Dawson and a small lead. It would take a lot of luck for me to win. If I lose, I hope it's by a lot. I don't want to lose by 1 or 2.

Highest scoring playoff game in league history. Losing by 5. Had those points on my bench with an unlikely player.

Gonna hurt til next year.

Unbelievable. That return TD just won my game for me....shocking turn of events. Wonder how many championships turned on that play?

 

[rick6668]

Finished up 12-1 regular season in my 16 teamer with Most total points (half the $$)

All play record was 171-24. 88%. That is crazy.

4 weeks this year I played against an opponent who put up their highest point total of the year and still won all 4 match ups.

Put up the highest score of the week in the first round (no byes)

All play record is 186-24. 89%.

Put up the second highest score of the week. (Luckily it was the #2 seed who scored higher who I didn't play)

Finals is #1 vs #2 (worried about this one)

All play record is 200-25. 89%

After 13 years in this league I am finally the champion. Final record 15-1.

Thank you to Peyton, Charles, Antonio Brown and Seattle D

Scored the highest score of the week again this week.

All play record is 215-25. 90% (I've never seen a figure this high for a whole season)

That was a long time to wait for a championship.

 

[MikeIke]

Tony Gonzales just won me my championship with his last catch. I won by 1.2 points.

Tony, if you're reading this - I love you, man.

 

[flapgreen]

Lost by 2

 

[hoopvillian]

Davis throwing up a donut won it for me.

+1

And to add insult, he had Harry Douglas and a two point lead when Douglas got ripped for that return. Amazing.

Congrats. That ending was incredible. I'm still shaking.

 

[tkrull]

Just won championship number 3 in my 19-year old redraft league (1st 3-time winner). Second championship in 3 years (with a 3rd place last year). I'm calling it a dynasty.

QB - C.Newton

RB - M.Forte, R.Rice, C.J.Spiller, D.Sproles, A.Ellington (future picks were traded for Forte about 3/4 of the way thru the season)

WR - D.Thomas, A.Brown, K.Allen

TE - a revolving door (finished with D.Walker but started C.Clay and C.Fleener at times)

K - N.Novak (stuck with him the last few weeks)

DL - C.Wake

LB - L.Kuechly, D.Johnson

DB - E.Berry

Shout-out to Footballguys and the Shark Pool for the heads-up on Ellington and K.Allen. Made up for taking Rice instead of McCoy in the first round.

#nobodycares

 

[buddahj]

I survived Davis' goose egg and that late defensive TD all because of Phil Dawson. Without him I wouldn't have won my local.

 

[emeraldhal]

Phil iced it! I won without him yesterday but nice to pad the stats

 

[RaiderBones]

With about 3:30 left in tonights game I was down 10 points in my ppr dynasty league. Then Tony Gonzalez goes off and scored me about 16 points in the last 3:30 to give me a 6.34 point win. I thought for sure I was going to lose with so little time left. Thank you Tony Gonzalez!!!

A huge shoutout to Tony Gonzalez and Pierre Garcon. I traded for both players during the season. I traded for Gonzalez when it looked like Gronkowski wasn't going to come back till around the mid point of the season and he ended up getting injured right before the playoffs. When Julio Jones got injured I traded to get Garcon and he helped to fill that void in a big way for me. Lastly I would like to give another shoutout to Jamaal Charles his huge game last week propelled me into the Championship game. Between Charles and A.J. Green's consistency it was nice to count on those two each and every week.

 

[bicycle_seat_sniffer]

that early TD by Sjax iced the title in one league for me. 10 year coming

WOW

Thanks to

Oh how sweet it is....................

 

[emeraldhal]

I would like to thank the monster points put up by McCoy decker and the rams d

Only mistake I made in lineup was benching Fred got Dennis Johnson. Still won! Gotta say folks never gave Fred his due this year he was never one anybody talked about starting but the man had a good year and was a steal in the 10 th rounds

 

[Verminator]

Backyard Brawl II - Champion or Runner-up (TBD)

Backyard Brawl III - Quarterfinalist

Backyard Brawl V - Champion

Sharkbait - Champion

Fantasy Recruits III - Champion

HyperActive III - Runner-up (Active)

HyperActive IV - Champion (both)

JP's Dynasty IV - Champion

JP's Dynasty V - Runner-up

MOX-SF1 - Quarterfinalist

MOX-SF3 - Champion

Did you not draft a RB in the first two rounds??? That is pretty much the common thread of my championships!

 

[RushHour]

To top off a huge win in my championship game, had both Kuechly and Patrick Willis in a start 2LB setup. Scored 73 points between them to bury my opponent...and Willis was apparently in a 'bad matchup'.

 

[kerpow]

Lost my main money league by 3pts last night.

I'm still smarting that Philly scored 51pts but Desean only got me 5 fantasy pts. That's the typical "bad luck" I seem to get in championship games.

 

[Andrew74]

Despite losing Martin, Julio, Cobb and Welker, still kicked the collective asses of my league mates to repeat in my dynasty. Destroyed the scoring record by 165 points and set a new high all-play winning % record. Man this feels good.

 

[Area51Inhabitant]

Roddy #@@$%^ White must really hate me. Both of his big games this season came at my expense. This season has just been a total #####. I'm the highest scoring team and left to play in the 9th vs 10th place game.

 

[Landro21]

Down by 7 to start Monday Night with only 49ers D/ST left....They had 0 points with a minute left then NAVARRO BOWMAN! First team in the league to sweep the regular season and postseason titles. Feels great.

 

[The Goat]

Finally.

FINALLY.

After ten-plus years of regular-season goodness followed by continual playoff ineptitude, I started off 2-6 this year, then ripped off 8 straight wins to win the championship in my TD league.

I had a 7.5 point lead with 2 minutes left. He had Tony Gonzalez. If that Ryan to Gonzo TD had come from the 15 rather than the 2, I would have lost. I just about #### in my chair.

Dawson's EP for me. Unless SF got another score (certainly possible, but...) I was toast.

 

[need2know]

Not complaining too much as I won my biggest money league. ....but I lost out on another title in my other league due to rivers and kc def. Screw you guys. How does rivers only put up 7 points vs the Raiders at home? I ended up losing by 6...had the best team all season to lose like that kinda pissed me off. It's cool though, won the league that matters the most and second in the other got me well over 2k

Not a championship game but the 3rd place game was win by the extra point in one of my leagues.

 

[smapdi]

I just need my boy Josh Gordon to do his thing one more time! That's it. I won't ask for anything else Mr. Gordon. Show PIT that 47.7 was no fluke!

Him and Megatron got me here & of course Calvin is pretty much benched when i need him most. I need Dez Bryant to really step up & show he's right up there. Kyle Orton baby!!

 

[Topes]

Didn't have the stones to start Pryor over Fitzpatrick.

It could cost me dearly if McCoy doesn't have a solid night.

 

[Run It Up]

Won my own league /brag
Tied in a baby tier standard scoring league then lost via tie breaker (Most QB pts... he has Peyton) /grieve

 

[rocketsauce]

My team averaged 138.21 pts in 12 regular season weeks, good for 2nd best at that point. Over the final 5 weeks, they averaged 157.80, good for taking home the Playoff Championship and League Scoring Title. Booyah.

 

[Polka King]

Week 17 championships suck. I won a league today though.

I lost a league last week when my Forte and Brees sucked. So is the luck of FF.

 

[red]

Thank you Orton. Down 1 with McCoy. Eagles having to punt looking as if offense won't touch the ball again except in victory formation.

Orton pulls a Romo and McCoy gets two carries for 11 yards. I end up winning my championship!!

 

[discountdoublecheck]

Started Cobb even though all reports said he'd be limited. Won the title by two points on the game winning TD. Happy Packer fan and even happier FF nerd!

 

[Topes]

Won my old-timey local friends league, but did't start my optimal lineup.

I could have done better.

I feel empty inside.

 

[fantasycurse42]

ridley/wilson/miller owner...left cook on the bench...dez does nothing...still got a chance with rg3 and foster tomorrow.

Landed on the first page by accidentally clicking on ipad... This looks awful, gotta believe you're team finished the year 3-10.

 

[belljr]

my team blewup today but not wk 15

RIP my playoff bracket.
