I believe the playoffs would start week 15 as there are no byes and 4th place is wide open still.
BTW: What a tough loss for Hippie Rage. .12 points. Wow.

[brkhrt7]

It looks like it comes down to either myself or the Automatons for the last spot. I would clinch with either a win over the Habs or by outscoring the Automatons by 9 points or so if I lose and they win this week. Should be fun.

kvrdave told me that the playoffs were weeks 14, 15 and 16, with #1 and #2 having a free pass on week 14.

It's been my understanding that the playoffs don't start until week 15.

I'll play the 4 seed ('Roid Rage Reloaded or Nashville Automatons) and the Craptastics or Horseface Spacedogs will play the 3 seed.

The only spot still open is the 4 seed.

The league is setup like brkhrt7 explained, with the settings straight from the scoring and settings playoff section:

Playoffs: Week 15 and 16 (4 teams)

So as of now the Zorbonauts, Craptastics, and Horseface Spacedogs are in the playoffs now and basically just playing for week 15 position. Roid Rage Reloaded has the inside track for the fourth slot, the Automations need a win and a Roid Rage loss (and to have Roid Rage outscore the Automations by no less than 8 points) to win. Hippie Rage and The Habs are still technically alive, but The Habs are done and Hippie Rage would need an almost impossible miracle.

You could also play the Spacedogs if Roid Rage wins and the Spacedogs lose next week. The Craptastics are pretty much locked into the 2/3 seed game, much more likely the 2 seed.

I failed to include that scenario but yes, I could play you as well in the first round....

It will be interesting no matter who plays who

Tough loss for Hippie Rage. That fractional loss really killed his chances. But I guess Roid Rage suffered the same fate several weeks ago as he lost a very close game. If he had not lost that one all of the playoff spots would be locked this week.

In my other league I also had Mo-jo going and was down 5 but in that league there is no partial points so I ended up in a tie . If I had won there would of been a 4way tie for the #1 seed and I had the tiebreaker but instead I drop down to #3(4th worst record but won my division) and play a guy with a better record.

Go Craptastics!

I never thought you would be fighting for a playoff spot.

[BravesMG]

Holy cow, Automations pull within 5.5 and there's still almost 1.5 quarters left. I can't see the Bucs continuing to let Smith kill them like this, but this could turn out to be real close.

[BravesMG]

Didn't even notice, but the Spacedogs pull out another victory tonight with Bryant's performance. We've got to be the most unassuming 10-4 team possible. Our point total is right on the playoff cusp (I think we'll end up 5th overall), but consistency was pretty important for us. Only 4 games under 90 points and we lost every one of them. First round is set with Craptastics vs. Spacedogs and Craptastics are pretty strong favorites on paper to me. Brees against Chicago might be my only shot, but my horrific running backs have even worse matchups than usual, so it could be an uphill battle.

[clappj]

Brees will tear The Bears secondary apart!

And in the other match-up my (12-2) Zorbonauts will face the brkhrt7 led (8-6) 'Roid Rage Reloaded in what should be an interesting match-up.

Coach amplified says "'Roid Rage Reloaded is a team that no one wants to face come playoff time despite their rotating quarterback situation."

It should be fun although I must admit that I'm hoping for a Zorbonauts vs. Craptastics Superbowl. I want the chance to avenge my embarrassing 61.72 - 110.96 loss in week 8. Although my other loss was to the Horseface Spacedogs by a score of 54.08 - 120.38 so if I can make it past the first round, I assure you revenge will be mine!

The DVDTalk FF Superbowl is now set.
'Roid Rage vs Craptastics.

Wow Rage! looks like Andre Johnson almost single-handedly took you to the Championship.
Damn Zorbo! Bad luck yesterday!

[BravesMG]

What a stinker for the Spacedogs. Ugh. Ah well, didn't really deserve to beat Craptastics anyway, even if neither of us had a real good week.

Props to both Craps and 'Roid Rage. I always root for the underdog, so here's to Roid Rage, even if he did also kick my butt in the DVD Talk Baseball League as well.

[brkhrt7]

Drew Brees + Detroit Lions = 'Roid Rage silver medal

I logged on yesterday to check the score and when I saw that Andre Johnson had 40+ points I knew it was over. What sucks is that I had several of the top performers yesterday at both RB and QB. I put up almost 100 points and still got smoked.

Oh well...I kind of figured that I would be one and done in the playoffs once I saw that I was facing Roid Rage. His team runs hot and cold and on paper I was licking my chops but sometimes all it takes is one or two amazing games by a player to secure the win.

I wouldn't change a thing in the way I built my team. My team was pretty loaded thanks to grabbing P. Rivers (who I traded) and S.Slayton late in the draft. Top to bottom I still feel like I had the best team on paper with the Craptastics a close second.

Good luck to both the Craptastics and Roid Rage!


The Zorbonauts will be back next year with a new and improved roster

I'm grabbing Andre Johnson early!

[clappj]

Did any of you guys get the live scoring option?
Curious what the current scoring is.
Thanks!

[brkhrt7]

Looks like I started the wrong QB. Also, Jacobs will probably play and get 4 tds. I couldn't risk him sitting out and had to start Foster instead.

[BravesMG]

Horseface Spacedogs 132.80
Zorbonauts 110.96

Pineapple Express 47.34
Hippie Rage 59.90

Craptastics 91.64
'Roid Rage Reloaded 87.00

The Habs 52.30
Nashville Automatons 98.76

[brkhrt7]

I'm only 3 D.Williams fumbles (and a torn ACL) away from the championship! Woo Hoo!

...and a John Kasay pregame torn ACL .

[clappj]

Wow!
Ask me before last weekend, and I would've guessed Zorbo was going to run away with the championship.
Some crazy games/upsets yesterday!

[brkhrt7]

Congratulations, clappj! An absolutely stellar draft (as well as amplified) topped off with a championship. Looking forward to next year already.
