(+) Yeah! (+)

Chris Carson out for the rest of the season. Big blow for Seattle's chances.

---

And his backup got hurt too!
---

I mean I've thought the Seahawks were pretty fraudulent all season anyway but yeah

---

I'm entering tonight with Aaron Jones to play and a 7 point lead. He has Blake Martinez to play who averages 20 points a game as an IDP.

I'm favored to win by 5.4 but I'm pretty concerned that Jones could have one of those bust games.

I knew I should have played Kenyan Drake which is obviously easy to say now but even without a breakout I figured he was more likely to be consistent. I forgot to come back and make a final decision though (and I probably still stick with Jones) due to the OT games

Marshawn Lynch is going to meet with the Seahawks.

This is a trainwreck waiting to happen

Do it

I have a 30 point lead but I play against the GB WR and the Minn RB. If it's a shootout, I probably lose but I'm in a healthy spot otherwise. I moved Golladay out for McLaurin last minute, so hopefully those 4 points don't haunt me... but I'm in the money either way. My other WR is Robinson - it's brutal having 2-3 guys with disaster QBs.

I just need Aaron Jones not to score 55 points

Man. I really did my best to blow the championship game. I rolled with the lineup I had for the entire year basically and they kinda shit the bed. Winston sucks and Fitz rocked on my bench. Picked up the Colts defense so my opponent couldn't use them (even if they weren't likely to since they had San Fran) and they lit up Carolina while Pittsburgh lost to the Jets. Dropped my steady kicker in Gonzalez based on matchup and went with Koo. Had Gesicki for most of the week but dropped him cause I was playing Hunter Henry. Godwin was hurt so I played Will Fuller and he left the game with an injury and I was cursing myself for not playing Anthony Miller Chris Carson also left the game with an injury. All in a championship match where both teams averaged over 120 points a game...

And I won by 1.24 points cause his team shit the bed just a little worse than mine did. Holy shit. Ultimately playing Fuller was the correct move as I would have lost by 0.16 points which would have been brutal. Thank you fantasy MVP Christian McCaffrey!

I am in good position to win my championship game, thanks in part to streaming the Colts DST, which got me 31 points all by itself.

I have a 48 point lead going into Monday night and we each have two players left. First championship since 2014 for me, so I'm super happy. Especially after losing the championship game in 2017 after picking up a streaming DST and then leaving them on my bench for my original DST (playing the streamer wouldve won it for me).

The Panthers have interviewed Mike McCarthy

also the Ravens confirmed they're sitting Lamar and a bunch of starters

---

Aaron Jones already in negative points

---

just not Green Bay's night it seems

---

Looking good for me as long as Adams doesnt have some massive second half

---

man Green Bay is not playing well at all and yet they're only going to be down 1 at halftime

---

Well offensively they've been terrible. Defensively they've been pretty good.

both these teams have been crap offensively. But I got to give the edge to the Packers here. They've been winning ugly for the past month now, so this would be nothing new.

---

And that'll probably do it.

Kirk Cousins soon to be 0-9 on MNF

---

and while Aaron Jones has 30+ points he still fell short of the 55 my opponent needed

although I guess it isn't over yet

All 16 Vikings games on MNF next year
---

and Beast Mode is officially back

---

With Rudolph on IR and Ducky Boy back at the helm, the Steelers may end up in the playoffs starting their fifth string QB

JJ Watt risking next season for that sweet sweet comeback story

This is probably the best position the Texans have ever been in to make it to a Superbowl, so I get it. I also suspect he's going to retire after this. He is risking living as a cripple.

Has any AFC South team actually been in contention for a Super Bowl since Peyton left Indy? They are annual playoff fodder, whoever comes out of that division.

hey now the Colts made the AFC Championship during the Deflategate year and that was post-Peyton

but other than that no

the Texans have never beaten anyone not named the Bengals in the playoffs

---

Jags held a 4th quarter lead in the AFC Championship just a few seasons ago

---

oh right I forgot about that

and then they thought "hey Blake Bortles is good enough to win a Super Bowl with" and then they went back to being the Jags

---

Jags got fucked in that game too

*sigh* And that's probably why Khan won't fire Marrone, even though we're the most penalized team in the league.

Even more than the Browns now?

---

yeah I did read that yesterday that the jags actually have been penalized more than the browns.

That was actually less than 2 years ago.

I said seasons, not years!

---

Sorry, I keep making slight errors in my posts in this topic.

That was actually less than two seasons ago! (since we technically have a week to go)

20 years from now I'll be telling my kids "The Jags made the playoffs in 2017!" and they won't believe me. I won't believe me either. Dave Caldwell will still be the GM and Marrone will still be head coach. Thankfully we'll have fired 5 more executives by then though!

That was the year of the Legendary SUPER BORTLES

Then they choked the AFC Championship game and that was the end of Bortles.

---

And the amazing thing is that it wasn't even Bortles' fault!

---

A lot of things were Bortles' fault

But the Legendary SUPER BORTLES had no faults obv.

---

It was Marrone's fault. "hey, let's play conservatively! That sure worked for the Falcons."

Didn't the Falcons run like 4 rushes the entire rest of the game once up 28-3

---

Yeah Atlanta's problem is that they didn't make MORE of an effort to bleed the clock

That and Matt Ryan taking an inexcusable sack to knock them out of FG range late

---

Yup, good times.
