Did Brees 2 knees at the end of the game cost anyone their championshi (1 Viewer)

For most of us this week was the most important week of the year for fantasy football.

In my main league I was down 103.52 to 103.47. Less then 2 minutes left on the clock monday night and then it happened. Brees took his first knee and I go up 103.47 to 103.42! I was just wondering if this happened to anyone else?

the other guy must be on a ledge

I think the other guy needs a T-shirt.

I wonder if anyone has any ideas?

I would literally be sick. I don't care if the yard could have been accounted for in any number of ways prior to the MNF game, but to lose by a yard - in that way, where you have to watch it happen - would be devastating. I'd like to think that if it was me, I'd offer my opponent some extra dough beyond his 2nd place finish so I don't get hit by a bus the next day or something. Karma is a #####.

Statistically, this is just stupid. Kneel downs at the end of games should not count as negative rushing yards. One way to combat that is to simply offer +1 point if your QB wins his game.

Really? If it were me, I'd call him and tell him that I felt bad and wanted to send him something to make it up to him. I'd then get his address and mail a 2 foot by 3 foot framed picture of brees taking the second knee to him. On second thought, I might give it to him at the draft next year if it's a live draft...

I agree with this being stupid, but that the nfl statisticians.

I hope you get hit by a bus.

How would that matter? What if the OP was trailing leading by 0.9 points?edit:

Nevertheless, I think your team name next year has to be "Brees' Knees."

 

[Jayrod]

This is a big reason some leagues institute 0.1 pt/carry scoring.

Brees killed me last year - by week 16 he was not posting numbers like he did earlier in the season. they were running much more and I think by week 16 he may have only played one half. I tried not to rely on one QB or one Defense this year. So far so good.....if McCoy scores less than 25 points I win the SB. The guy I am currently beating has Brees.

In my league you would not have won even though we use decimal scoring too.

The rules in my league are as follows if a player has 0 yards rushing he would get 0 pts.

If he finishes the game with negative yards rushing like Brees did at -2 yards rushing he would have still got 0 pts

If Brees had 4 yards rushing then lost 2 yards on those plays then you would have actually lost the .2 pts but with him going into negative in my league it just is a flat 0 for rushing yards.

I would say this is the exact reason I put the scoring rules like that.
