I got too cute on the regular season one and got eliminated early. Would love another shot. Thanks for all the subscriber contests, one thing that keeps me coming back.
I got bounced from the final 250 by 6 points and would be in 39th place right now if I made it through. No...it doesn't sting at all.I got too cute on the regular season one and got eliminated early.

Absolutely need a few weeks to agonize over the rosters. Hoping they add Randy Moss to the list because a playoff team was obviously waiting to sign him till the last minute.

Something isn't right. It says it begins January 7, 2011 and ends February 5, 2011.DD you need to fix the dates.

This is brutal. Cap values are way up this year. Last year the cut was 92.75 with almost 6900 entires. I'd expect entires to be down this year due to fewer subscribers. Cap values should reduce the cut some too. I'm going to target 80 pts for my first round number.If you think form will hold true and you take the top QB/RB/WR/TE/K/D from the Packers and Pats, you would only have $13 to spend to get points in week 1 and still wouldn't have roster Nelson or Hernadez.

Have a link to last years standings?
Brees at $52 isn't fair at all.

This will get you to last year's emtry and you can navigate the tabs up top for results.
Did you perhaps forgot to add the link ?

http://subscribers.footballguys.com/playoffcontest/2010/week-18.phpI had originally posted a link to the entry form from last year. It's gone and that page now says error.

You basically need to correctly pick the team that's going to win the Superbowl in order to win this. And since this year's Superbowl winning team is going to be a wild card team, this seems easy to me.
Edit: Nevermind, this isnt easy at all.

The price of the players is way too high. Whoever wins this one is going to be lucky & just make a cut by a few points, then probably have a monster super bowl.
butcher boy

This is much harder than last year.
Looking at last year's winning entries, they basically correctly picked the 2 superbowl teams and stacked players from them, picking 2-3 from other teams to advance early. This year, unless you think it's going to be a Denver/New York superbowl, you simply cant do that. By the time you've picked your superbowl players, you have no cap room for the smattering of players from other teams.

If the prices were lower, they'd be lower for everyone. It's a fair playing field.
butcher boy
Footballguy
I think the higher prices limit the strategic element of this. Especially this year, where there is a huge gap between the top playoff teams and the lower ones, pretty much forcing you to take high priced guys unless you really think teams like Denver or Atlanta are going to pose a threat and go deep into the playoffs.

I did not have a hard time at all getting solid players to go with my SB team picks.

Ooof. I'm fine with it being hard but did it really have to physically hurt? This is going to be interesting.

If the Saints & Pats make the SB, this entry wouldn't win it all...
butcher boy
Footballguy
I know. I just sorted it by team, and the only shot it would have to win it all would be if it was a Den/SF superbowl, and even then neither QB is on the squad. I wish there were cheaper Pats and Saints.

out in week 2 imo.
Drew Brees has a pedestrian game and your toast in the first round unless, of course, there weren't at least 4,000 entries.

I haven't once added a kicker or defense to any of my teams and I dont know how I feel about it.
