| 122 | Electroman ID: 47928246 Sun, Nov 23, 2008, 23:29 | Man, those Colts don't only have horse shoes on their helmets, they have them stuck up their butts this season. Phantom pass interferece call helps keep a drive where they score, and the umpire throws a pick on Cromartie on the 4th down pass to Harrison. | ||||||
| 123 | Guru ID: 330592710 Mon, Nov 24, 2008, 13:28 | [121] Correct | ||||||
| 124 | Nerfherders ID: 347242717 Tue, Nov 25, 2008, 12:12 | Looks like I'm out. Since deepsnapper plays Bags one of them is gauranteed the 7th slot, which is the only slot I can capture unless I score something like 400 points this week. My consolation is finishing .500, something I've never finished under in RIFC or qualifying. | ||||||
| 125 | Guru ID: 330592710 Thu, Nov 27, 2008, 18:15 | Remember that only the top 6 slots are awarded based on W/L record. The 7th and 8th slots are based on total points. | ||||||

I've been disappointed by my running backs performance this season. Injury after injury has decimated their production. Maybe McFadden can recover from his turf toe(s) and contribute vs KC tomorrow & Addai can get more touches vs the Browns. The youth of McFadden & Felix Jones (IR) sure hasn't paid off with the "need for speed" out of the backfield I'd hoped for. lol Injuries are part of the game though. That's what makes it interesting. | ||||||
| 127 | fugazi ID: 46750221 Mon, Dec 01, 2008, 00:20 | I can't believe the way things are shaking out today. It's such a close race for the final four slots in the playoffs. looks like Bags and Holt are in as long as Johnson and Jones don't tank. | ||||||
| 128 | holt ID: 4410182818 Mon, Dec 01, 2008, 01:14 | unless I'm mistaken, dabomb has now outscored deepsnapper, and I need 11 points or so from Johnson and Jones to pass deepsnapper and about 15 to pass dabomb for the 7 seed. don't remember the exact numbers now. | ||||||
| 129 | Guru ID: 330592710 Tue, Dec 02, 2008, 09:52 |
The top six seeds will be the teams at 15-11 or better. Seeds 7-8 are by points, and in a close race, Holt gets the 7th seed (at 11-15 W/L), and Da Bomb takes the final spot (13-13). Tree is the odd man out, sporting a 14-12 record, but 150+ points out of the #8 seed point total. Deepsnapper gets the "close but no cigar" award, falling 10 points shy of the 8th spot. I'll set up the championship and consolation brackets shortly, and then recap the add/drop rules for the playoffs. | ||||||
| 130 | Guru ID: 330592710 Tue, Dec 02, 2008, 10:32 |
Final standings, seedings, and brackets are posted here. The Championship bracket will not be reseeded each round. Single elimination. For the Consolation bracket, the losing team with the best score in round 1 will advance, along with the three winners. Matchups will shift only if necessary to prevent a duplicate pairing in the second week. Players at the primary skill positions (QB, RB, WR) and team defenses may not be added for any reason during the playoffs. Free agents at these positions will be locked out after the final regular season game. You may drop a player at one of these positions, but once dropped, that player cannot be added later. Players at the other positions (TE, PK, IDP) may be added or dropped according to normal regular season guidelines, subject to playoff claiming priorities, if applicable. If a playoff game ends in a tie score, the team with the better seed shall advance. Teams which are not still active in the Championship playoffs may not make any transactions - adds or drops - even if they are still competing in the Consolation bracket. All add/drop restrictions musty be administered manually, so please pay attention! Claims and waivers will operate normally for teams eligible to make moves. Priorities will initally be reset based on playoff seed, with the top seed getting the top priority. Thereafter, throughout the playoffs, priorities will again adjust only when a claim is awarded. | ||||||

ugh. what a weird fantasy football season. i got left out in this league, in another i tied for the last playoff spot but lost out on points, and in a third i was in the top six in scoring, but didn't make the playoffs - while someone who scored over 300 less points than me did! | ||||||
| 132 | deepsnapper Leader ID: 017103420 Tue, Dec 02, 2008, 16:45 |
It was a bad week for me to post a sub 100 score. Props to everyone for making the playoffs. I guess it wasn't such a great idea go try a "different" draft strategy this time. It was fun playing everyone in any event. On to the consolation bracket! | ||||||
| 133 | holt ID: 4410182818 Tue, Dec 02, 2008, 17:22 |
that's rough deepsnapper. I figured it was just me and dabomb fighting it out for points. I just assumed you'd hang on to one of the point slots. amazing that after 13 weeks that most of the league is so tightly bunched in overall points. | ||||||
| 134 | I_AM_CANADIAN ID: 466141317 Tue, Dec 02, 2008, 18:46 | Interesting how the top 2 scorers in PF end up getting matched off against one another to start the playoffs. Should be a tough matchup. | ||||||
| 135 | Bags ID: 26107111 Tue, Dec 02, 2008, 19:53 |
Even though I beat you twice, I'm not looking forward to our match up IAC. It should be a close one. I have a feeling that it might come down to who benches the wrong player. | ||||||
| 136 | Slackjawed Yokel ID: 3010432311 Tue, Dec 02, 2008, 22:33 | 2nd through 4th places were a repeat from last year regular season finish with IAC dropping from 1st to 5th. For some more deja vu, Holt and I are reprising our super bowl matchup in the first round. | ||||||
| 137 | holt ID: 4410182818 Wed, Dec 03, 2008, 02:35 | Ah that's right. I don't remember the score but I'm pretty sure I lost. Vengeance is mine! maybe | ||||||
| 138 | Smith32 ID: 4110411910 Wed, Dec 03, 2008, 11:15 |
There weren't any scoring changes this year, were there? Interesting that total points were down about 4% from last year. Wonder what may have caused that - more RBBC? the return to earth of the Pats O? Since I'm sure someone would point it out eventually - interesting that the 3rd seeded team is the lowest scoring playoff team :) | ||||||
| 139 | I_AM_CANADIAN ID: 466141317 Wed, Dec 03, 2008, 16:49 | RE 138: I don't think I mentioned it in this thread, but I think the WR/CB force-out rule probably had a bit of an effect on QB/WR points. | ||||||
| 140 | holt ID: 4410182818 Wed, Dec 03, 2008, 20:00 | re 138- tom brady went down 1st quarter 1st game. meh | ||||||
| 141 | I_AM_CANADIAN ID: 466141317 Mon, Dec 08, 2008, 17:28 | I find it interesting that of the 8 playoff teams, 6 of them drafted in slots 1-8, while Fugazi and LetterJ got into the playoffs from the 10/11 spot. Maybe this adds a little more credibility to the importance of drafting from the "early" spots. | ||||||
| 142 | I_AM_CANADIAN ID: 466141317 Mon, Dec 08, 2008, 17:30 | Also, to maybe make Electro feel a little bit better... maybe that explains why his team did so poorly this year (drafting from the 14th spot). | ||||||
| 143 | Electroman ID: 47928246 Mon, Dec 08, 2008, 17:47 | My team sure picks a nice time to go on a winning streak:p | ||||||
| 144 | I_AM_CANADIAN ID: 466141317 Mon, Dec 08, 2008, 17:49 | Hey don't knock it... winning the consolation bracket would get you a re-invite (I believe). | ||||||
| 145 | Guru ID: 330592710 Mon, Dec 08, 2008, 18:18 | ...not | ||||||
| 146 | Electroman ID: 47928246 Mon, Dec 08, 2008, 18:22 | You get a golden toilet bowl no? | ||||||
| 147 | holt ID: 4410182818 Mon, Dec 08, 2008, 21:18 | I lost Tom Brady in the first quarter of the first game of the season. My playoff appearance had absolutely nothing to do with my draft position, for the record. I probably only have 6 or 7 of my originally drafted players left on my team. | ||||||
| 148 | I_AM_CANADIAN ID: 466141317 Mon, Dec 08, 2008, 21:26 | RE 145: Ah that's too bad... what is the point of the consolation bracket again? Just for $&*^$ and giggles? | ||||||
| 149 | Da Bomb Donor ID: 487112814 Mon, Dec 08, 2008, 21:47 | That's the 4th time this thread you've mentioned your loss of Brady, holt. ;) | ||||||
| 150 | holt ID: 4410182818 Mon, Dec 08, 2008, 22:33 |
Only 4? That's nothing compared to how many times I've mentioned it in conversation. I also had Chris Carpenter when he went down in the first baseball game of the season. I filed formal complaints with the Fantasy Sports Gods and never got a reply. Did I also mention I've now lead RIFC in points against two years in a row now? :D Oh, and with that Bryant TD I think I'm out of the playoffs. What a rotten week. | ||||||
| 151 | Guru ID: 330592710 Mon, Dec 08, 2008, 22:33 | 148: Consolation bracket is just for kicks. Gives the non-playoff teams something to do after the regular season. But there are no rewards - other than the satisfaction of a being one of the two teams to end the season on a winning streak. | ||||||
| 152 | fugazi ID: 46750221 Mon, Dec 08, 2008, 22:45 | The fantasy gods spit in my face! Wow my team really tanked this week. | ||||||
| 153 | Guru ID: 330592710 Tue, Dec 09, 2008, 10:17 | Nerfherders moves on in the consolation bracket as the loser with the most points in the first round. | ||||||

Update through NFL Week #13 (RIFC regular season final).
| ||||||
| 155 | holt ID: 4410182818 Sun, Dec 14, 2008, 22:31 | kinda weird that smith32 started Hillis. the playoffs aren't a great time to be starting guys who are on IR. | ||||||
| 156 | I_AM_CANADIAN ID: 466141317 Sun, Dec 14, 2008, 22:52 |
Yeah, that's a pretty big mistake to make, but... even having an active RB in wouldn't have given him the win over Slackjawed. I just managed to squeak into the finals myself, and felt that THE major turning point in my matchup the week, was the defensive matchup between Pit vs Bal. The swing in that game, gave huge implications for Da Bomb and me. The game wasn't televised here in my region, but when I saw Holmes fumble the ball away on his own 10yd line on the NFL gamecast, I got pretty anxious. Roeth's 92yd td drive at the end of the game bailed me out of a tight spot. | ||||||
| 157 | holt ID: 4410182818 Sun, Dec 14, 2008, 23:03 |
that was a great game to watch (pitt/bal). Slackjaw will most likely win, but Smith32 still has McNabb (vs CLE) and D'Qwell Jackson left. It's possible he could get 45 from those two. highly doubtful but it's possible. The 9 points McLain put up would have at least given him a shot. | ||||||
| 158 | Electroman ID: 47928246 Mon, Dec 15, 2008, 07:31 | Ben, you don't have RDS? They were playing the Pit/Bal game. | ||||||
| 159 | I_AM_CANADIAN ID: 466141317 Mon, Dec 15, 2008, 08:51 | RE 158: Watching Football in French just seems so WRONG! LOL, to tell you the truth, just checked Fox/CBS/TSN(espn). I was watching the Pats game anyway. :) | ||||||
| 160 | Smith32 ID: 25751421 Wed, Dec 17, 2008, 08:15 |
RE: 155 - I got married on Dec 6. I set my lineup beforehand, and had no internet access before this week's games because I was on my honeymoon. I hoped no one would get injured, but of course that was not the case. | ||||||
| 161 | I_AM_CANADIAN ID: 466141317 Wed, Dec 17, 2008, 09:53 | Hey Congrats Smith32! I remember 2.5 years ago I was leading in the RIBC, then I too went on my honeymoon... baseball being a day-trading type league, I was in 3rd when I got back from Mexico, and just couldn't do anything to get caught back up (That I believe was the last time I opted to play in the RIBC). | ||||||
| 162 | I_AM_CANADIAN ID: 466141317 Wed, Dec 17, 2008, 13:34 | As per post 130: TeamD's are indeed locked right now. So one of the transactions from claims will need to be adjusted. | ||||||
| 163 | Guru ID: 330592710 Wed, Dec 17, 2008, 13:50 | I threw the Houston defense back in the pool. I didn't bother to reverse the McAllister drop, but I can do that if Yokel wants him back. (I doubt it, though.) | ||||||
| 164 | Smith32 ID: 4110411910 Wed, Dec 17, 2008, 14:09 |
Thanks! I should have had one of those ESPN cell phones so that I could have been riding horseback on the beach with my wife while setting my lineup, like that guy in the commercial. At least I lost by more than 9 pts, so I don't feel bad for not getting a lineup-sitter. | ||||||
| 165 | Slackjawed Yokel ID: 711191719 Wed, Dec 17, 2008, 20:19 |
Yeah, Congrats Smith32. I saw Hillis in your lineup ahead of time, but figured you'd throw in one of your Raven's backs. And it took me five minutes to figure out why Houston wasn't showing up in my lineup... I knew QB, RB, and WR's were off limits, but didn't realize team defenses were also restricted. One of these days I'll learn to fully read the rules. | ||||||
| 166 | I_AM_CANADIAN ID: 466141317 Mon, Dec 22, 2008, 22:13 | down by 10 at the half... this isn't looking good. | ||||||
| 167 | Slackjawed Yokel ID: 711191719 Mon, Dec 22, 2008, 23:32 | after olsen's TD, I was sweating it. Collin's pick making me a bit more comfortable. I'm not hoping for another OT game like last night... | ||||||
| 168 | I_AM_CANADIAN ID: 466141317 Tue, Dec 23, 2008, 01:44 | and it's over... congrats SlackJawed Yokel! Starting to get the feeling of the "bridesmaid", with "good" regular seasons, but just not good enough. | ||||||
| 169 | Electroman ID: 47928246 Tue, Dec 23, 2008, 07:06 |
The bad dresses don't help you case much either with the bridesmaid thing. Congrats Slackjawed Yokel. | ||||||
| 170 | Guru ID: 330592710 Tue, Dec 23, 2008, 11:34 |
Props to Slackjawed Yokel for repeating as RIFC champ. Ditto to Electroman for overcoming a difficult season to finish strong by winning the consolation bracket. A recap thread has been started to get any of your final thoughts on the season. | ||||||
| 171 | Slackjawed Yokel ID: 711191719 Tue, Dec 23, 2008, 13:26 |
thanks for the congrats fellas. Tough break yet again, IAC. I was hoping the Carolina D would put things away for me Sunday night, but no such luck - it did make a much more dramatic MNF game. I watched those last couple of Bears possessions with a close eye on Olsen, Kampman, and my guy, Collins. There was one play where Olsen caught a ten yard pass but it was negated by a Collins' tackle - only in fantasy... | ||||||
