Sheesh - that one play from Jeremy Hill was the difference. Take away the td and I win, the 130 yards I could absorb, but not the td. Oh well - second place money will spend well.

Great, another championship lost because I started the wrong QB (went with Ryan over Wilson). Of course, maybe I would've won anyways had Dalton not overthrown Green, causing him to get blasted in the arm (yeah, I'm blaming the ginger).

My mistakes last week caused me to lose a $100 and a championship this week. Would have been so nice. For pride.

Needed about 45 points from CJ Anderson and Emmanuel Sanders to win my PPR league and got it. Whoo!
Good deal! Luck and the Colts put me in a bind but C.J. scored +23 to secure a first place finish! That I survived Luck's awful day is amazing!
Lost both my championship final matchups... each by 3 points.
Owned Beckham in both leagues.
One loss was due to Luck having the worst fantasy performance by a QB in the modern era.
One loss was due to a nullified Jimmy Graham TD that should have counted.
Oh well... better luck next season I suppose.

I won on that technicality too, I'm happy I won I guess but it feels dirty/doesn't feel right.
A little bit of magic won me the $500 prize in that league. I decided to go with CJ over Hill, and dropped Hill to play Nugent over Barth. A big game from Anderson plus the 14 points from the CIN kicking game were enough. Hope CJ got enough for you as well. Those were some nice yards on that final drive.NoMercy said:

Back to back titles, winning record 6th title. The engine that drove me to the promised land: Gronk, Demarco Murray, Odell Beckham and Demariyus Thomas. Matt Ryan had a hand these last 4 weeks.
To top it off, became a dad today for the second time to a baby girl. Somehow the fantasy championship didn't feel as exciting.

I had the most dominating season in my dynasty league's history this year.
Luck
Murray, Charles, L.Miller, J.Stewart
D.Thomas, AJ Green, J.Jones, D.Bryant, J.Gordon
J.Graham
Benched J.Jones and D.Murray for L.Miller and J.Stewart, yay, I'm a genius.
Too bad I started Luck and Green. Scored 16 points lower than my next lowest output.
2nd place. Bleh.

It is what it is, just sucks for AJ Green owners. He would have won if Alshon didn't drop all those passes. Sucks.

Won my dynasty league, which was sweet redemption because I narrowly missed the playoffs last year with a legitimate contending roster. Only needed the combo of Sanders and Hill to get a handful of points to secure the victory.

Well now we know who is responsible for Lynch run.
Not Lynch. Not Skittles. It was sho nuff.

How is scoring more points than the other team a technicality?
I guess this whole darned game is a technicality, then..?
No. You scored more points. You won fair and square. Ain't no asterix on that.
Feel bad for the other guy? Sure. But it does not diminish your win.
Indeed they were some nice yards on that final drive. C.J. played as well as can be expected, especially given that Denver fell behind which is not how they wrote the script to this game. $500 prize is great for you!

Yeah I am happy to have another banner. And there's plenty of examples where I got jobbed on points from my own guys, so I'll take it. I do feel bad for the other guy, since I've been there in the past, but we move on I guess.

I guess it was too much to ask to get 16 combined from Luck and AJ..jeez

Apologies in advance but needed to whine about my gut wrenching loss during my 14 team .5PPR redraft Superbowl which cost me mucho dinero. Comfortably ahead at 3 EST on Sunday until Mike Wallace scored his 2 Tds -- Wallace who my opponent picked up and started after I had dropped him days before.
Then, I had Vinitari, Martellus Bennett and Rams D combine for negative 2.5 points -- Wound up losing by 1 pt after that last Bengals 1st down by Hill before they took a knee to end the game.
Praying for a stat correction somewhere, but obviously not my kind of luck. My other active players were Rodgers, Lacy, Gerhardt, Beckham Jr, Lafell, and Sanchez as my Superflex.
Making things worse, any of the following players on my bench would've had me win: Delanie Walker, Carolina D, Phillip RIvers, Mike Wallace (who I dropped for Amendola).
Opponent started Rothlesburger, Hill, J Charles, Charles Johnson, Mike Wallace, Matt Ryan, Heath Miller Dan Bailey and Jags D.
Final 114.9 - 113.9 Brutal

In 2011 I went 13-0 in my main keeper league and lost in the final by 6 points. I left points on the bench and my opponent had Cruz get that 99 yard TD. I still think about it sometimes! Dominating a season and finishing second feels pretty damn hollow.

Justice was served. Back in 2011, a team went 13-0 regular season and lost to the bottom seed in round 1 of the playoffs that year - then put up high scores in remainder of playoffs to finish 3rd. Except for one anomalous game he would have been 16-0. This year he won the championship against the team that dropped the anomaly on him in 2011 - and he did it with the weaker team this year. So it evens out I guess.

I had the highest scoring team in league history. In the semifinal I ran into a team on a hot streak and with Jordy and AJ Green mailing it in, I lost by 2. This week, even with AJ's 0 and my kicker and D combining for 3 points, the rest of my team showed back up and scored the third most points this year.
Frustrating as my team was the best team all year and all three chances at money were lost with blips on the radar as I doubled up the other team in the third place game.

I really think that going to a "team running back" slot (where you get credit for the team's RB scoring instead of the individual), might be a better way to go in today's league. I've played for 16 years, and "insert random running back here" getting the goal line work seems worse the past couple years than ever before.
I still ended up with 7 of my 8 teams in the playoffs, 3 of 7 in the championship game, and then won 2 of those games (this would be the "brag" portion of my post, lol). So I'm not just griping here due to sour grapes. But when you have an equal chance of winning by picking up Daniel Thomas in free agency as opposed to the guy who did his homework and drafted Lamar Miller over Moreno, and scenarios like that happen every Sunday, then...I dunno, it just seems like it becomes more and more about random chance and luck rather than skill. Maybe that's always been true of FF, but not to the extent we've seen this year.

Final kick in the crotch from Shady (after getting vultured, again, earlier in the game at the GL)--gets knocked out of the game on his final carry, hitting 99 yds. No 100 yd bonus for me.
