Benching Allen and Rivers... AAAAAAH! Would have had 250+ points. But facing Graham so I guess it evens out as long as Landry does something similar to what he's been doing lately.
Graham with a zero. How the hell did that happen? Seriously.I had a huge advantage at TE this week. My opponent started a concussed Cameron and my TE was Graham.
My wife will miss out because of the Julio Jones 43 yarder where he was clearly out of bounds on the catch.Going to miss out on a playoff spot in one league because the refs reversed Manziel's fumble that was recovered for a TD....
I am currently up 11 points thanks to CJ. Won't breath easy until tomorrow after the game if I prevail. Not the best team to go up against tomorrow night either in the Jets. Miami should score at least 4 TD's, no?Mario Kart said:A little bummed but I have hope... I have hope.
With a win, I earn a bye (with a key loss which happened), division title, a profit and some "in your face."
My team starts off great with Stafford, Calvin, Jordan Matthews and Hauschka on Thursday. I know that doesn't win the game but those four helped me get a great start.
Today's games are going well. I'm leading but the lead is shrinking as the day goes on. At the end of the Packers game, I faced, Roethlisberger, Julio Jones and Crosby. My Jordy and Gronk had average games but the lead is gone. I am now down 15 points and he still has Mike Wallace tomorrow night.
Why I have hope. I have CJ Anderson tonight and Lamar Miller or Chris Ivory. What will this Denver game bring me? Hope or despair? A bye week or no playoffs at all?
Is there a "push" emoji?I had a huge advantage at TE this week. My opponent started a concussed Cameron and my TE was Graham.
10 teams8 team league? or Guppies?No other team in my league scored over 141 points this week, below is a screen shot of how I lost:

Best sneaking into playoffs story! It really came down to RT not seeing a wide open Wallace for TD on final possession and having to settle for the Sturgis FG two plays later.Was almost eliminated 3 weeks ago, basically all but impossible to get in... After winning 2 in a row, I had an outside shot with a big week and out scoring the final playoff spot guy by 66 points (he also had to lose).
Coming into tonight I had out scored him by 77 (which was almost insanity on its own). He had RT at QB and Miller at RB, I had Caleb Sturgis at kicker.
RT has his worst game of the year and scores 8, Miller hangs 14, and Sturgis has 12. I'm in by 1 point. Now I just have to hope on no stay corrections!
You're the man, nice username.My team was able to beat the CJ Anderson/Tre Mason owner and eliminate him from the playoffs...I'm sure nobody wanted to see them during the playoffs.
Just to polish this one off...12-team standard redraft. Team has scored the 2nd most points in the league heading into this week (only 20 points behind league leader). League leader is 9-3 with the playoffs locked up; my team was 6-6 needing to win this week to secure a playoffs spot.
I made the following incorrect decisions:
1) Started Romo over Sanchez -- figured Romo at home was safer; Romo on Thanksgiving had been money; and either way it shouldn't have been a huge shift in such a shootout. Left 17 points on the table with Romo scoring a whopping 3.
2) Started Andre Ellington at RB and Denard Robinson at FLEX over Tre Mason -- I really wanted to bench Ellington, but after the Thursday games I was in a little hole. The matchup was really good for Ellington, and I thought he'd win on the perimeter through the air even if he didn't get much on the ground. The Robinson decision was due to his effectiveness and the Giants woeful run D. In fairness, Denard performed on his touches... he just didn't get very many. Denard scored 5 points; Ellington 1 point; Mason 33 points. Had I followed my gut on Mason (benching Ellington), I'd have gained 32 points.
The second incorrect decision was really 2 decisions in one (technically 3 but I decided CJ Anderson was playing relatively early, and he performed). I lost by 9 points. Literally had I played Tre Mason over ANY SINGLE ONE of the RBs or FLEX options I played, I'd have won. Had I played Sanchez over Romo, I'd have won. ORRRRRRRRR had Jimmy Graham scored 9 points, I'd have won.
A #### end to a #### out of luck season.
I'm going against him, Bennett and Romo.DANG YOU MURRAY. YOU'RE KILLING ME!!!!

Finished in 6th place at 6-7, but only 4 make the playoffs. Scored only 27 points behind the league leader for the season (he went 9-4 and is the 1 seed). Scored 135 POINTS more than the third highest scoring team (the 2 seed) -- in a standard league, an average of more than 10 points per week more.
So I essentially fielded an extra 100 yards every single week relative to the rest of the league, still managed to post a losing record, and missed the playoffs.
Bull####.
