Looks like my Pugs overexerted last week and fell flat this week. Unless Bernard and Hopkins have monster games it looks like the roller coaster season will continue.

Woo hoo, that will (if it happens) make a 3rd victory that's more about an opponent losing then me winning! ;) two pretty good players to be hoping on though :foot:

My Denver receiver and kicker scored a combined 1 point, LOL.

Gotta hope that's not how Peyton goes out :(
 
Hey all,

lots of things to talk about this week from Edleman’s injury and Arizona’s toughness to the Raiders and Bengals return to the mean, but I thought I’d start with some housekeeping.

6 Teams make the playoffs with the top two teams (division winners) getting the first week off as a BYE week.
As far as I can tell there is still a way for everyone to get into the finals but the Jackhammers and the Fumblers would need a 6 and 4 team (Jabronies, Badgers, Muffins, Deflatgate, Thubderballs) to lose all of their next 3 matches. That doesn’t mean it’s hopeless, I have to say I think my Muffins are not a lock for the next 3. But I’m close to calling them out.

Interestingly the Deflators who are riding the top of the Blue division have scored the fewest points in the league and have had the fewest points scored against them (The Muffins have the 2nd fewest scored against them FYI). But, outside of this week, they have scored more points every week then the one before. Losing Edleman probably cost them that pattern this week but they had Larry Fitz on the bench which could have continued it. The Thunderballs (Currently 2nd in that division) have score the most points season long.

The Jabronies, at 7 and 3, can lose their next 3 and still get into the playoffs on points, so I think we can say they are locked in.

The Texas Pugs (who have yet to win a “home” game) and the Beagles don’t need anyone to lose all their matchups, but they probably do need to win at least 2 of their next 3 to get to .500 to stand a chance.

Also, our trade deadline is next Wednesday, the 25th.

Well, folks, the Sherriff is dead. Well, not dead, he just hurt his foot. But he was dead to fantasy this week, (was that a minus score?) Whetehr he will reward the fantasy faithful or not...oh, i see we all left him on te wire. Guess that's not us anyway ;) I still hoe to see him ocme bakc and finish off with mroe then just a yardage record though myself.

As for this week’s matchups, a lot of teams crashed back under the 120 make this week. But I hear scores were low across the board even in 1 week fantasy, logic didn’t win out this week for a lot of people and outside of the Saints Defense being fantasy gold (because of all the points opposing players score against them) not much remained true. Unfortunately the Defensive co-ordinator of the saints has been fired now, so we might not even be able to rely on that either.

English Muffins Vs Texas Pugs
Both teams suffered some regression to the mean this week, as they were part of the lowest scoring matchup even if neither was the lowest coring team. Andy Dalton, actually did melt under the prime time lights as much as Tyler Eifert, who dropped 3 first down catches. It injured but turn out not to kill the Muffins week as D.Adams was the recipient of enough volume during the packers melt down to pile on solid performances elsewhere. Also Carlson Palmer is a stud and was drafted in the 12th round if you want to know ;). For the Pugs they suffered from Big Ben’s return since he seemed to have more trouble handing the ball off with his foot injury then he did throwing it, so D.Williams wasn’t able to live up to the hype generated form last week. Crabtree did his usual Crabtree thing, targets, catches, but wasn’t able to make the plays to overcome a Raiders team that looked overwhelmed a little by the Vikings. Blake Bortles…well…bortled, it’s a verb now, look it up (no, don’t.) Anyway, 18 points would have been considered god not so long ago for the Jaguar QB but expectations have changed, in fantasy anyway. No one lost this game, but no one won it either. It’s worth saying that they hand more than enough points on the bench this week, but it would have required making bad bets to get them. It seems like a disappointing fall after last week’s high for the Pugs but I think threat they have shown is the ability to beat anybody in the right week, certainly shouldn’t be counted out just yet.

Kentucky Aardvarks Vs Sanchez Butt-Fumblers
Nail Biter fo the week aware goes to the ‘Varks and Fumblers. Both teams beniftted form the Saints defense this week as the Fumblers picked up and started the one week Stud Kirk Cousins while the Aardvarks aprceated the continued good production from Jordan Reed. The Fumbelrs made some good moves this wek to push for the win but the eternal hope that they are keeping alive for Jordan Cameron may have doomed them. 1 point even from a TE is a bitter pill to swallow for their continued dedicate in a game won by 2. On the other hand Lafell amy be due even more targets with Edleman pout and their running back core of Irvoy and Martin came back to life a little this week. Still a tough road ahead but it looks like they have what ti takes to fight it. The ‘Varks got away with one this week as well, Tavon Austin put up only 3 points this week. Up till now they have been able to gamble fairly effectively on his good games btu ti nearly caught up with them this week as did sitting McCoy for McFadden. Sometimes good gamblers can go bad. Not that they’ll be crying over a win that took them to .500 and kept them in contention any.

Stoney Jabronies Vs Honey Badgers
If I were to guess I would have guessed this matchup had our highest score of the week, or was at least our highest scoring matchup, but I’d have been wrong. The Jabronies were the ones in the end to hang on to solid production, tip themselves over into the safeish category and stay over 120. Both teams suffered a goose egg from a wr this week, (tells you something about two teams when they still score enough to win most matchups and post a goose egg, right?) The Jabronies saw John Brown post his second 0.0 even though he played this week. While the badgers suffered from Peyton’s breakdown, and Emmanuel Sanders not getting much going with the new QB, Brock Osw….just Brock will do ;). But on the bright side his finger injury looks like it won’t keep him out next week, according to his coach anyway. F the Badgers had only realized Landry Jones would go down with one of the nastiest looking ankle sprains I’ve ever seen and Ben would jump in to put up 31 poitns…well they still would have lost but they could have won if they played Harris at flex as well…let’s just say they couldn’t have won, but are not likely to stay down for long either.

Jackhammer Vs MX Thunderballs
Highest and lowest scores of the week in the same game. I still think it’s better to just stink it up the week you face the highest scoring team, but maybe that’s just me. The Jackhammers did make some moves this week though, betting on some high upside WR’s to combat their weakened RB core. Unfortunately even good gambles can go bad and Desean Jackson wasn’t able to make up for his absence this week. Antonio Andrews and Shan Vereen scored a combined 4 points, (none of that from Andrews) and James Jones suffered from the Pakcers break down as well posting yet another WR goose egg, making it 3 for the week league wide. Hurns who didn’t look like he would play at all posted good numbers on the bench as did Rishard Mathews, but no one had enough to take down the Thunderballs this week anyway. It’s worth pointing out as well that the Thunnderballs could have scored more, not that anyone would have kept Alshon Jeffery out of their lineup, but he only scored a head scratching 5 points this week. The cure of course, as it is for everything, is to have Big Ben throwing to Antonio brown (on your team) and C.West put up a 30 point game against the break, broken, suddenly woefull Denver D. Thomas getting most of the new Denver qb’s attention didn’t hurt either. Also Derek Carr player and so did Justin Forsett, and Greg Olsen, I should mention him to. Hard to see the Thunderballs not keeping the momentum going.

Bush Did Deflategate Vs Dakota Beagles
Aaron Rodgers, Adrian Peterson, Jonathan Stewart, Jarvis Landry…pretty good. So Dez doesn’t’ look himself and only put up 9 points, Romo’s coming back next week. So Edleman goes down this week and only puts up 9, the Deflators have Larry Fitz on their bench. All in all, 9 might be the deflators lucky number. Also Peterson ran for an 80- yard touchdown, pretty cool ;). The deflator are perhaps only the second team this week that didn’t seem to suffer too much from some team regression. The Beagles on the other hand got hit by it pretty well with Andy Dalton at qb and Chris Johnson using 25 carries to get 5 points. Jeremy Langford’s number continue to impress though, enough people are wondering if Forte will come back any time soon, and while Benching Lynch for Johnson didn’t work out, it’s was one of those games where nothing would have, it turns out. Plus even a bad day for Randall Cobb got him double digits. Lynch still owns the Seahawks backfield despite some sources saying he wouldn’t and I think the Beagles, like the Bungles (bengals) might see some more regression going forward as their numbers start to rise, not that the Beagles will care much about the Bungles or Bengals moving forward as Phil Rivers comes back next week fresh of his BYE.

Nice roundup, thanks.

I didn't notice before, but my division W-L is bad :(. I'll need to be alone in 1st place of my division to get the 1st round bye, a tie will not cut it, even though I have the highest points. Anything can happen... great league so far..
 
I am entertaining any and all trade offers, as desperation is setting in with the Beagles! (The Beagles were originally the Daggers, and there is some talk of going back to the old name , in a final desperate ploy to turn this season around). I don't want to miss the playoffs, as there are SCORES TO SETTLE!

:) I keep chaning my team picture around for similar reason, looking for the right one with the good luck ;)

Yeah, it can be tricky thatw ay,

i like how long it's taken to have even one playoff finalist secred, been very competitive, despite a number of realy strong teams.

Yay....:(

Pug fans are calling for another coach to be fired!
 
Well, I picked the wrong quarterback for Thursday game, I have both quarterbacks from that game on my roster. Fingers crossed someone has a breakout game
 
Good lord, I am circling the drain... :grumpy:
 
yikes, get well soon matt forte, you've had a big BYE this week as well.

rats, missed an oportunity to get to second place this week :(
 
With Brady throwing a rare interception and Gostkowski having his first missed field goal of the year, I had my doubts.
 
So, the teams that had to lose, lost and the teams that had to win, won. Also the team that was pretty much a lock for the finals won so the Jabronies are now locked into the playoffs, you can thank me for that ;) Other than that, it was a weird week according to the predictions. Their policy of picking up other peoples handcuffs paid off as a last minute pick up helped the Jaronies make the victory look much more impressive as did the chiefs D (really? Really? Come on, man!) Putting up 15 points. They seems to have provide them a solid rb1 as their new rb2. The only hole in their lineup has now been filled unless Marshawn Lynch can play with a sports hernia….but if there’s one thing we know it’s that a good lineup this week has an equal shot at being a bad lineup in two weeks’ time.

I enjoy a good tradition and once again I find myself staring down thanksgiving hoping Eddie Lacy can please, please, put me into the playoffs. I’m sure you all have players or games that strike a familiar cord this week as well.

A few more injuries piled up, a few more replacements put up good numbers, and it’s perhaps the last big waiver wire week, which coincides with our very last full day before the trade deadline. Just remember, it could be worse, you could be the Ravens...poor Joe Flacco and company:(

It’s time to start peaking gentlemen.

Good luck to all,

English Muffins Vs Stoney Jabronies
If you’re going to get beat, get eat by the highest score of the week, right? TY Hilton now has a QB that can’t really it the deep ball, but can put up wins. Gronk was held in check by buffalo but by then the match was over, which did make enjoying the Monday night game less stressful, I have to admit  The packers won but still didn’t really look like the Packers, even though Eddie Lacy finally put up a 100 yard game but was of course on the bench. The story here is that the Jabronies had a few players like Newton, Rawls and Julio put up huge games while others like Lamar miller struggled. The Muffins on the other hand had all but 1 put up double digits but it’s the stars that shone this week as the Muffins just didn’t have the horses to put up great numbers.
English Muffins, 101. Stoney Jabronies, 153.

Jackhammer Vs Honey Badger
The Badgers continued to struggle this week and lost a stinger by one point, one more Tom Brady interception would have seen these two draw. The Badgers have to spend the week hoping Devonte Freeman can pass the concussion protocol quick enough to play especially with his other rb, D.Murray, finding it difficult to keep up production with his team looking like a train wreck at the moment. The Badgers got little help from their TE or flex with, but they also suffered in the last BYE week and matter matchups should see them bounce back in time for their next matchup…the muffins are so glad about that ;) The Hammers? Well they didn’t have a great week either, their wr core just let them down, though neither of them underscored TY Hilton, just saying. On the other hand both their rb pickups seem to be working out and they now have a TE in Crockett Gilmore that looks like he could put up solid production every week.
Jackhammer, 78. Honey Badgers, 79.

Texas Pugs Vs Sanchez Butt Fumbles
The Fumblers were the only team in need of a win that didn’t get it this week, sorry Fumblers but it’s true. The Pugs were desperate to stay in the hunt as well and managed to pull it off, Deandre Hopkins looks uncoverable this year and that sure did play a big role. Gio Bernard benefitted form the yardage of an attempted comeback by the Bengals that didn’t quite make it, but it was enough to help out the Pugs. The fumbler son the other hand may spend some time like a lot of Doug Martin owners this week wondering how it’s possible to put up 230 yards and not score a touchdown!
Texas Pugs, 107. Sanchez Butt-Fumbles, 98.

Kentucky Aardvarks Vs Bush Did Deflategate
The Aardvarks are perhaps the only other team in the league to stay the course in week 11, while Gurly put up pedestrian numbers compared to what we have already become used to, everyone else form Allen Robin son to Danny Amendola were able to perform, DMC continues to produce with volume, and like everyone else is probably happy to see Romo back. Amendola did hurt his knee in the third quarter, so the Varks will have to stay tuned for info on that one. Our resident Political party suffered a little from a no stud week as well as Larry Fitzgerald and Jonathan Stewart’s great games weren’t great enough. Still the panthers did put up double digits and the roster looks unblemished by injury this week, which is always a good thing.
Kentucky Aardvarks, 135. BDD, 115.

MX Thunderballs Vs San Jose, IL, Belduques
Besides making me groan every time I have to type the name the Belduques new owner and name change may have done the trick, or at least brought in some well needed luck. (The highest scoring team in the league fall to 3rd and more importantly short of the win this week as they had to witness Justin Forsett suffer one of the nastiest looking injury of the year. He’s now out for the season. They were also victim to the Chargers meltdown right out of their BYE as Danny Woodhead busted to the tune of a single solitary fantasy point. Antonio brown is back next week form his BYE and I’m sure the Thunderballs can’t wait. So despite Amari Coopers lowest point of the year and Marshaw putting up a goose in in a last minute inactive statues move, the Belduques squeak out a much needed win with Langford who continues to impress in fortes absence and solid games from Brandon Marshall and Randall Cobb.
MX Thunderballs, 74. San Jose, IL, Belduques, 89.

That’s all folks, have a merry thanksgiving and all :)
 
Peter! You can shorten my team name to SJILB, or DOG or whatever you choose! I guess that San Jose, Illinois Belduques is a bit longish!
