Hi fellow de-gens,

Are you 3-7? Are we ~6 teams of 12 make playoffs but you’re in 10th place with everyone else 5-5 or better? Do you need 5 teams to lose out just for you to have a shot on cumulative tie breaker?

How are we handling a must-win for the next 7 weeks? Every week essentially a playoff game? Are we blasting our final faab? Are we tanking because we’re in a keeper or reverse results draft order? Or are we fighting til the last second grasping for oxygen as the titanic slowly fills up with water, while the band continues to play? Praying for a tie between two other bubble teams so you can leapfrog?

It’s not entirely inconceivable, it’s been done, but with schedules falling the way they are, certain matchups where one of the teams HAS to win, essentially eliminating you?

​

PLEASE TALK ME OFF THE LEDGE !!

    Was 1-7 lol then won last 2 weeks to go 3-7. Week 9’s win I won 145-138 thanks to Stroud’s 41 point banger. Ekeler was huge with 2 tuddies too.

    Last week’s win was a lucky one. It made up for some of the weeks where I was hit with the worst luck (guys having best games of the season types… fluky 60+ yard TDs… even Henry throwing a TD lol and defenses slashing NE two weeks in a row against me… of course it happened to me)

    My opponent last week was on vacation and had Kelce and Waddle (bye) in his starting lineup. He left Aiyuk, Deebo and even Sutton (Monday night game) on his bench. I won by 11. Those 3 WRs scored 12.3-13.9 each. Which means if he played any one of them, I would have been 2-8 and out of the playoffs lol. He flew back in town Monday night and didn’t see it until it was too late to insert Sutton.

    I just need to go 4-0 and there are a few vulnerable 5-5 teams near that 6th seed. Oddly, I have a good feeling. And if I come short? Then hopefully I finish 7 or 8th for consolation bowl bye week
