It's just past mid-season, and I feel like reviewing standings of the three leagues I'm in with you all. CTMSix teams make the playoffs, and there are four games left to decide who makes it. As of right now, the teams making it in are as follows: DirtyBird (1)7-2, indydave (2)7-2, @njc71 (3)7-2, danb6177 (4)6-3, steelers1954 (5)5-4 & craig440 (6)4-5. Think it's more than safe to say ADB, Indy, NJC & Dan are all safe, and that Steeler's spot is most likely secure as well. Craig is the most vulnerable of current playoff seats right now at the 6th and final spot. Both myself and Jeppers have scored more points so far, with Jeff just a game behind and myself 2 games behind(Craig). I've most likely gotta win all four remaining games to have a shot, starting this week vs. Jeppers, who just so appears to be the only competition to take the last spot from Craig. This game is CRUCIAL for me. I'm currently "projected" to win by a slim margin. Glad to see divebitch get the jump on Craig this week. Big Ben put up a monster game, as did PIT D for her. She's "projected" to win by 30+pts. I must say though, that I'm a bit confused over this: If Danb is currently 4th place in the standings, why when I click on "Playoffs" does it have him as the #2 seed with a first round bye? I know we've got two divisions, but thought it comes down to overall records, with points scored being tie breaker for playoff seating?

No it does not come down to that. The winner of each division gets a bye. That is why I eliminated divisions in money league. It's all one division there and the top two get byes. Something to consider for next year.

NFFLSix teams make the playoffs, and there are four games left to decide who makes it. As of right now, the teams making it in are as follows: MisterLacy(1)7-2, packdog (2)7-2, Jeppers (3)6-3, Myself(4)5-4, Steeler's Son(5)4-5 & @njc71 (6)4-5. I'm assuming that MisterLacy & Packdog should be locks. However, the rest of this landscape is far from figured out just yet. We currently have two teams cracking the playoff list with 4-5 records, and two teams right on their heels with similar 4-5 records, just less points scored as tie breakers. I'm in 4th place at 5-4, but in a really dangerous position, and probably the most vulnerable of all current playoff teams, as I've scored less overall points so far than all the 4-5 teams nipping at my heels. I may have to win 3 of the next 4 to ensure a spot, or score helluva lot of points if I only win 2 of the next 4. Jeppers, sorry but not sorry... Pulling for a few underdogs this week... Would like to see craig440 pull off the victory this week vs. Miss Lacy , who's right on my heels. Can't believe he's got CHI D on the bench. I know Chargers D playing against a horrible OAK team, but it's still a road game, and CHI D killed it last week w/out Mack(who's back), now playing at home vs. Stafford who was sacked 10x last week! Idk, something to think about maybe. & Packdog to defeat NJC, also right on my heels.

Something to consider for next year. I was never for divisions, so not sure how it ultimately wound up that way. That will be changed next season. The best records/most points scored should determine who gets first round byes.

I'm a bit unsure, and want to set the record straight. Thought both steelers1954 's NFFL & divebitch 's Yahoo leagues were both only 4 teams making playoffs last season, but now both have 6 teams making the playoffs this year? Edit: NVMD. I just checked again to make sure, and all three leagues are now set to 6 teams making the playoffs. I was really surprised to see Beverly make that switch, since she so adamotely complained about 6 teams of 10 making playoffs, but sure enough I checked and saw she switched it Playoffs changed from 'Week 15 and 16 (4 teams)' to 'Week 14, 15, and 16 (6 teams)'Apr 26 12:55 pm

Can't believe he's got CHI D on the bench I still haven't made up my mind on that one yet. So stay tuned grasshopper. I usually make changes Saturday night or Sunday morning. I think the defenses at my disposal are both winners this week. It's just who is going to destroy the opponent more. Just because Chi def got lots against Buffalo doesn't really give me a hard on. I don't feel good about this game though. I mean McCoy and Ekeler are forced to be in the line up? Geez I talk lots of Ekeler stuff but I drafted him as a handcuff for Gordon. Then Gordon has a career year. McCoy has been just a huge disapointment.

Alright I put in Chi Defense. I see the two as a win win decision. I think the points will be close. I would go with Chargers and if I lose because of the defense pick then Doc is to blame not me. haha. I like to pass the buck.

Yahoo Big CheesySix teams make the playoffs, and there are four games left to decide who makes it. As of right now, the teams making it in are as follows: JP(1)8-1, Jeppers (2)6-3, @njc71 (3)6-3, Carmen(4)5-4, Bubba(5)5-4 & Myself(6)4-5. steelers1954 is currently in 8th place, only one game behind me @3-6 vs. my 4-5, but Steeler has outscored my team by about 80pts, so I gotta hope he doesn't steal away my last place playoff seat. I'm "projected" to win my game by 20+, and he's "projected" to lose his by under 10. Hopefully stands true.

WAS lost two starting O-lineman(guards)last week. AP gonna have tough time finding push between tackles. Playing high scoring TB offense, so likely trying to keep up. A.Smith likely to have less time with two O-lineman down with a lack of legit WR threat. No C.Thompson. Could be an upgrade over Ekeler, Reed or Shady?

I was never for divisions, so not sure how it ultimately wound up that way. It started in 2014,not sure if it was voted on but you did agree to it. That will be changed next season. Why? This was the 1st year since we went to 2 divisions that you had 2 top teams with the same record and in the same division. The best records/most points scored should determine who gets first round byes. A.)Don't know why you're complaining about who gets the 1st round byes it doesn't affect you. B.)Everyone knew that Indy & Dirtybird's teams were stacked going into the draft. So why were they not placed in different divisions? C.)This is the best start Dan has had since he joined the league and deserves a 1st round bye for the season he's had.

A.)Don't know why you're complaining about who gets the 1st round byes it doesn't affect you. No, it doesn't directly affect me, but I feel it shouldn't go down that way going forward. B.)Everyone knew that Indy & Dirtybird's teams were stacked going into the draft. So why were they not placed in different divisions? They should've been split into seperate divisions. I was unaware divisions decided first round bye. C.)This is the best start Dan has had since he joined the league and deserves a 1st round bye for the season he's had. This wasn't in ANY way a shot against Dan. I'm rooting for him to win it all, if I'm not able to pull off a miracle myself. I also agree that Dan absolutely deserves a first round bye for the season he's had. I wasn't talking about this season, but next, and the need to hammer out some much needed rule changes on certain things. Mainly the draft value of players never changing, which messes up parity in the league. Once we get that figured out, and all is fair, I'd like for the best teams to be seated in the playoffs according to record and points scored. No more divisions. We've got a bit to figure out first. If the playoffs were to end today though, I'd be happy to see Dan get a first round bye under the current settings. We need to make changes though, and that was my point.

After this week I’ll be 6-4 and in a 2 game L streak barring a miracle. I’d be happy just to make the playoffs.

Hoping that K Robbie Gould doesn't score more than 6pts tonight for Craig vs. Dive @ CTM, because if Craig loses, I'll only be one game behind him for that last playoff spot and I'll have more points for tie-breaker. Break a leg, Robbie.

Well I did help you in NFFL league despite your bad advice on my defense. Chargers out scored the Bears. With a little luck I could go five and o this week. I'm pissed Ekelers long TD was called back and M.Williams has disapeard. Despite that I should still win in CTM. So

I lost to Jeppers, but at least you held back one team I'm competing with for a playoff spot. BTW- SD D only outscored CHI D by under 3pts, so shut it!
