hate to tell ya but I think the real number is 25 :(Any clue why the “unofficial calcomatic” score changed for the LAR Def (from 35 to 25)
I am not sure if there was an error early that was adjusted after the game ended.... but it puts be behind the Turk!
3 sacks, 5 turnovers and 2 touchdowns.

Well, I was not tracking it that close but I agree that 25 makes sense from the box score...which leaves me on the outside looking in for Week 12...
Best of luck to all those remaining!!

Weird, I wonder how that happened. I too saw them with 33 right after the game.
But,
3 int = 6 points
2 fum recov = 4 points
3 sack = 3 points
2 TD = 12 points
So that's 25.
How was it ever 33?

Squeaked by the cut, with 103.2 of my 184.3 overall tally from Mahomes/TyHill in the MNF onslaught.
On to trying to finish in the Top 50% of remaining Teams, sans the dynamic duo, in Week 12.
The odds were piss-poor tonight, down 112.85/134.60 with Mahomes -26.4, TyHill -2.1 and Butker -13.9 getting me over the hump, but here I am.
Decimated by injuries, and my Chiefs on bye, here's the cards I'm playing in the upcoming hand:
Rivers/Dalton (Mahomes bye)
Kamara/McCaffrey (DFreeman and Burkhead injured)
Lockett/Tyrell/James Washington (Tyreek bye, Fuller/Allison injured)
Hooper/Gesicki/Goedert (Jimmy injured)
Lambo/Fairbairn (Butker bye)
Steelers/Bengals
Those are some long, long odds. See ya'll Thursday.

Thanks birdie. I made the cut. But I think next week I'm hurting. No QB.... Garrapolo got hurt.
Take this contest to week 12. Damn that's close. Helluva effort.

That was crazy. 59.7 out of Mahomes and 9.0 for Butker.
Finished at 188.9, 11.05 above the cut.
Only have those two guys off next week. Thank you P.Barber!!!

Strip sack TD that turned into an incomplete pass.Amazing. Goff & Kelce bumped me from 155 to over 200...and as it turns out, I needed nearly all of those.

With the change for the Rams, I'm now done.
At least I slept well thinking I had moved on, so there's that... :(

I just have to hope that Jameis keeps the starting gig this week.

Sorry to hear so many regular posters in this thread getting bounced this week. This thread, and the regular posters, makes the contest so much more fun.
For me, survived with 202.55 (534th) with only Kelce (Ertz/Burton covering) on bye week 12.
Good luck to those remaining!!!

166 and out. I was feeling good about Week 12 because I only had Tyreek Hill on bye. Left me too short this week. That, and Trey Burton and Dallas Goedert giving me nothing at TE.
Wow, Some times have to be careful what you wish for. Keep watching my ranking go down, down, down all night long. I was ranked #999 when the Chiefs got the ball back at the last minute. That final interception saved me and ended up at #974 and moving on. This contest made last night game even more intense! Good luck to all that are moving on!

Sorry to see so many of the regular posters get cut this week!
Is anyone planning to look into how many of the remaining teams have LAR and KC players? Last night's line movement sure seems to show a ton of teams are relying on players from those teams - if that's true it will be interesting to see how the cutline is affected this week.

Going to guess the Mahomes fumble returned for TD then overturned as Mahomes arm going forward.
Fumble recovery = 2
TD = 6
Total 8 points taken away 33-8 = 25
Kenag122002

Agree but that was much earlier in the game. I guess the app wasn't setup to be able to handle reversed TDs? I'm not sure how it works, if it is manual or scraping data from some football data provider or what

Mahomes has been a blessing but thankfully I have Rivers for this week. And maybe a big week from Jameis?! Ok prob not.

The app calculates the scores based on the data it pulls I real time, so the data provider must not have been updated that stat quickly. Garbage in garbage out

Good info.
Just wish I had done a 3rd QB to go with Mahomes and Jimmy G. Gonna be a tough haul with no QB this week.
Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

Went to my brother's house last night for some drinks. Had a cushion of 33.30 points going into the game, never even turned on his TV. Got completely drunk and had a great time. I wake up and open up calcomatic, and to my surprise, my entry is RED. The cut line moved 43.25 points in one game. I just started laughing my ### off.
Having Mahomes gave me a win in my league this week, and not having Mahomes got me booted from this contest. I blame myself for not rostering him.

Stayin alive, stayin alive...
Winston coming back potentially saves me from a week 12 exit with Goff on a bye. Hoping he can play 4 quarters.
It'll be interesting to see how good those teams without Mahomes and Hill do this week. Could work in my favor with all of my big byes done except for Goff. Feeling good about making it to the "end"

Yeah, I was in 17th place, finished 171st... I had Mahomes -30.8.
Thankfully he's my only player on bye next week, and A LOT of team left look dependent on the Rams/Chiefs given how much that line moved yesterday.

Surviving to this point took planning and skill. For the past few weeks, plenty of really good team have been getting cut. Nothing to be ashamed of, the contrary actually.

I won't mind a lot of those guys exiting the contest this week.
Would be kinda wonky to have 250 out of 250 teams with Mahomes in the finals (but still possible at the moment).
apalmer
Footballguy
Even wonkier--there are still 514 teams alive with both Mahomes and Conner. It's possible that all the teams alive at this time next week could have them both.
Kenag122002
Footballguy
Possible in the sense that it's possible that I could win the next 10 lotteries even with purchasing only 1 ticket in each. But not possible as in reasonably going to happen. Having Mahomes on bye is going to knock out a significant number of those teams.

Really it was just karma getting you for wanting 105400 to survive the cut just to lose next week

Well, Karma does have a tendency to dump on you when you least expect it! Mine took an extra week to catch me!I RUINED IT!! I broke the unwritten rule! Karma will find me a drop a large stool on me! ?
My wife saw me looking at my team and asked me about it... I guess I made too much of an issue saying it was just some FF contest... no biggie.. but she wanted to know more... I was too hesitant and she pounced! I feel this is a guarantee doom for my Week 10 chances!
I was feeling good thinking I was advancing onto Week 12 with so few KC/LAR on my roster and was bragging about it.... until I saw the LAR Def score adjustment dropping me 0.5 below the Cut Line....

Thought I'd be safe going in above the cutoff with Gurley still to play on MNF, turns out I did actually need Mahomes to improve on Brees' score
Hopefully can survive no Gurley/Mahomes/Cooks this week

That's one reason I did not pick Mahomes and Hill. At one point I thought Goff was a safer floor than Mahomes, so I went with him, but I went with Thelien instead of Hill. Liking my WR choice, not really liking my QB choice as I think I'd be sitting better long term with Mahomes. But Goff isn't a bad consoluation prize.
Considering Mahomes was not terribly expensive, I don't think many people will be out this week based on him alone. I imagine thye have other pretty solid QBs. However, those who chose Hunt and/or Hill may be struggling a little bit. Kelce too- he was super expensive.

Anyone have a link to a page, google doc, etc. that shows the prices for all players (i.e., the entry form)?
My team finally imploded and I'm out in week #11. Tried to go with 9 receivers with none over $13. It worked so far up to this point until my WR's and TE's both got me very little points.... Good Luck to everyone left!!! On to the playoff contest!!!!

I have Goff, Mahomes & Jimmy G. No QB in week 12.
I have 2 TE's - Graham & Clay - both out?
Brandon Cooks on a bye
I need Zeke, Saquon & Conner to kill it this week with Landry, Goodwin, John Brown, Golladay & can I get anything out Brandon Marshall now that he's in N.O.??
http://subscribers.footballguys.com/contest/2018/104836.php
Week 12.....just effing brutal but I'm damn proud I got this far. Top 1,000. Don't win anything but it's a helluva accomplishment.
