Judy - My Team has Schedule across the top. So do we need to assign matchups again tonight?
And do we lock down the eliminated teams from roster moves here?

Yes. Shoot me an email if you get stuck. Have to reset the matchups each week.
FYI looked into MFL for 2013 -- we can import data.
Need to find and save records, rules and history wherever they are...

Ok working on this now, Judy sent me some guidelines. The top half is pretty simple I think. And also lock KC, CIN, DET, GB from making moves since out of contention. So only BUF, SDG, NYG and PHL can make waiver claims.
Everyone agree with these? and I assume if you get knocked out of Toilet Bowl you just don't play anymore?
AFC Championship - Bills at Chargers NFC Championship - NYG at Philly KC at Cincy (consolation?) GB at Detroit (consolation?)
Arizona at Denver Cleveland at Carolina
Oakland at Houston Indy at Dallas

I will again be running the playoff game by MFL. The basic rule is that you can use each player (QB, RB, WR, TE, K, DST once over the course of the playoffs.
So. For example, if you use both Brady and Rodgers in their first games you cannot use them again and might be without a QB for the super Bowl. So ya gotta plan.
I will send out my info when our fantasy season is over, but wanted you to know that your fantasy fix can continue!
Watch this space for announcements. Last year I think we had ~ 20 teams (you can have two!)

The final week should have 6 games total. The top 8 places have to be decided (for payouts) in addition to the winner of the lower two bowls. This is how it should look:
Super Bowl: Bills vs Eagles 3rd Place: Giants vs Chargers 5th Place: Packers vs Chiefs 7th Place: Lions vs Bengals
Wanna Be Bowl (9th Place) Browns vs Cardinals
Toilet Bowl (17th Place) Raiders vs Cowboys
In addition, I'm not sure the top 8 teams should be locked at all. They are still playing for prize money, so doesn't make sense that they are barred from making pickups unless that has been done in recent years. Only the non-playoff teams are usually locked as I recall.

I think you are right, in this league all 8 stay unlocked. All my other leagues we lock it up for those not in contention. We should really consider that for this league -- its not like there is a ton of money involved in 5th vs. 6th position. Just play what you got and stay out of the way of those playing for the title is what I've always felt.

I really have no idea. CBS screws me up so much. The playoff bracket is terrible to hard to figure who is playing who and who is still in it.
I think you can still make moves. What is the roster move you are trying to make? Drop Smith for Babin? Maybe I can still do it.

Seattle DST put a scare in me after that defensive TD...a big play to Crabtree would've hurt! GG, DS...
It feels good to finally win this thing...getting over the hump and turning the once moribund Bills franchise into a championship squad is definitely the highlight of my fantasy football career.
Now I have some tough decisions to make on keepers as I unexpectedly have more than what I need...but we will wait until the draft/free agency before beginning those talks.

Yeah no doubt. If you're gonna put up 160+, do it in the super bowl!
My team came back this week, but it was a bad time to have 2 off weeks in a row. Oh well! I won't have too many decisions to make on keepers and I love how it's going to shape up next year. Most of my offensive players are relatively young and hungry to do better. Though I can't imagine doing better overall than what I did this year.

So I'd like to write a newspaper style summary of the championship, but is that even something we can post if/when we switch to MFL or whatever site?
The 2012 MFL NFL Playoff Challenge is up and running.
The basic rule is that you can use each player (QB, RB, WR, TE, K, DST only once over the course of the playoffs.
So. For example, if you use both Brady and Rodgers in their first games you cannot use them again and might be without a QB for the super Bowl. So ya gotta plan.
Invitations to last year's managers were sent out today.
If you do not want to play this year, please let me know and I will delete your team(s). If you have (non RIFC) friends who want to play, have them email me (swimichel@mac.com) and I will send out an invitation.
You can have up to two teams!
Last year's winner was Promizedawgs, with s_R second and Crabby Bills came in third.

Will do more research when draft day rolls around but Doug's picks of Lamar Miller and Bernard Pierce are looking like gems.
With Reggie Bush on the outs and Daniel Thomas failing to assert himself as the #1, miller should get the first crack.
Pierce is gonna be a good handcuff to have and those two should help his team transition from S. Jax and Turner.

I've got a reliable top WR (top 10 wideout 4 of last 5 seasons) for sale for a top 10 draft pick or package of leftover guys you can't keep anyway paired with a pick. Tired of just picking some random rookie WR that does nothing for 2 seasons? Come get Andre Johnson for instant production.
Also have the suddenly valuable Revis! TB Bucs Defense for a small price.

I'm thinking I don't want my main two pass catchers competing for targets - Amendola + Hernandez... so anyone with interest in them make an offer or let me know your interest.
I even have interest in 2-1 type deals too cause I feel like I am a keeper or two short and could use some depth.

And that is the main reason why most people aren't that active with moving players in the off-season.
A month ago, would you have traded Hernandez for Gronk? I would probably have had to give you a draft pick, depending on what the current news about his surgeries was. Since the NFL is averaging an arrest every 5 days this off-season, the downside risk isn't generally worth it.

I think MFL is the way to go. they allow 96 franchises, 24 divisions and 90 roster spots. I believe this is sufficient for us. they even offer an option to import historical data from CBS.

GO did yeomans work moving the CBS data from 2012 to an mfl site I made in 2012 after the season. I plan to move the 2012 data to the mfl 2013 site we purchased for 1/3 of the CBS cost. Also no one paid dues for last season but I paid the fee, so there is that to sort out as well as the prize money.
I just got back from vacation and hope to move the information to the mfl 2013 site and set the parameters for the league.
That's where we are today. We are still very much a work in progress.
