It may be 2013 already, but in the NFL it’s the start of the 2012-season playoffs; don’t forget, it’s win or go home. On Saturday the #6-seed Cincinnati Bengals travel to the #3 Houston Texans, who want a big performance (on top of the win) to regain early-season confidence (2130 – Sky Sports). In the late KO the #3 Green Bay Packers will be looking to avenge their loss to the #6 Minnesota Vikings in a repeat of last week’s game (0100 Sun am – Sky Sports). On Sunday the surging #5 Indianapolis Colts play the off-form #4 Baltimore Ravens (1800 – Sky Sports). Baltimore have some added impetus as legend Ray Lewis has just announced these playoffs are to be his ‘retirement party’ Finally the #5 Seattle Seahawks play at the #4 Washington Redskins (2130 – Sky Sports); will RG3 have enough fitness back to be as much of a threat as he has shown he can be?… (1 hour highlights package late Monday on BBC2 – 0010 Tues am).
NFL Playoffs - Wild Card Weekend
Published by Christine Blachford on
Wildcard weekend should be good - especially as the Patriots have a bye!
I saw somewhere that the Vikings were unsure about whether Ponder would start tonight or not. Anyone know about that?
It's strange how the Vikes-Packers game is now soo much more interesting than last week.
All the games are showing as blacked out on Gamepass :-(
Ponder is questionable (elbow) - on NFL Gameday NOW.
He has been limited in practice all week... I've heard nothing concrete. (I guess he'll start as it's such a big game.)
Can you use a 'helpful' proxy?
Webb *may* start, Webb likely to come in at some point if he does. So it's run run run for the Vikings...
I'll use one of those sites where you need to turn the JavaScript off.
The Pack can just bring all their safeties into the box.
I am really looking forward to the playoffs.
Anyone who has not signed up yet can still join the NFL fantasy play off challenge. Once you have signed up search for sidepodcast under Groups and join our little league.

Vikings might not be a passing team, but if you can't run and pass, you can't win in the playoffs. Big problem for them.
You do need the threat of one to help facilitate the other.
Time before KO for everyone to make their picks for this week. ^^
And also read my Playoffs Preview http://sidepodcast.com/post/nfl-2012-post-season-preview (if you've not already) ;) #pluggage
Warren Sapp says Webbis a more than capable backup, but the issue is, coming in at the start of the playoffs, is a really tough time to come in when you've thrown 1 pass for -1 yards all season...
Nice group we've got going there, glad we went with it!
It's just a shame we didn't do it sooner. That would have given us tiime to get more people involved and maybe get them watching some games. Any time we get involved in a fantasy competition we get more entries than you think possible. When we did fantasy racers F1 competition we had a few hundred people in our league
I didn't think I could be bother, then Playoff-fever hit me, so in the future we can be more organised :) (Like real fantasy next year?)
Which reminds me, I need to update my FantasyF1 for this year still!
If you've not got tickets for the NFL games in London next year, individual game tickets go on sale on Thursday at 10am.
Interesting fact about Bengals at Texans: Andy Dalton has more QBing experience in the playoffs in this stadium than Matt Schaub.
It has to be worth a try.
I wonder if there is fantasy Crashed Ice :)
Game Centre for those wanting to follow the stats: http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/2013010500/2012/POST18/[email protected]#tab=preview&menu=gameinfo
Breaking: Webb is starting for the Vikes later.
Breaking: Webb's elbow after two plays!
Everybody pick AP, all the offence (and so fantasy points) will be going through him.
(Any fantasy players in this game have been revealed.)
Wasn't not going to pick him! But he'll need replaced next week.
I bet mr. C is is cheering for Cinn, because he got confused and actually thought they whre the Bangles!
I've not picked him for exactly that reason. I fancy the multipliers.
Me too, but if you pick bye week players for the multipliers, and they lose next week, you can end up looking really daft!
Texans 3-&-out
Oooo good point. But you'll still get 2x their score.
Anyone with the Bengals' D? It's early, but looking good.
Yes, but potentially 2x not much doesn't beat 1x good :-)
Broncos' for me :-)
Bad drop on 2nd down
Yeah same.
2x an average Moreno will probs be better than 1x AP (I hope).
Hard to tell - especially having not seen the scoring system
There is a menu on the top right of the page Rules & Prizing which explains it all in great detail and length.
Cam Newton's in a Windows Phone 8 ad :-)
Yeah, I'll pass :-) Too busy to read that nonsense ;-)
PS, had Crashed Ice round 2 happened yet?
Let me paraphrase: The better the player plays, the more points he earns, and the more games they play for, the bigger the multiplier.
and we have a first down!
Woohoo. LB was flat-footed.
is emphasis on yards, or touchdowns? On D, is it all about turnovers?
the end around was so obvious there. Can't believe the Bengals fell for that.
TDs (6 for scoring, 4 for throwing), 1 per every 10/25 yards (run/pass), -2 for TOs.
D is all about TO and def-TDs, and then losing points for allowing huge scores against.
(etc)
Texans come up short on 3rd down
48year FG?
Don't think anyone can kick one that far ;-) FG good, 3-0 Texans.
Yay! I already have 5 pts on my fanstay team....
48-year hangtime, wow!!
The Law-Firm, Benjarvis Green-Ellis
Whew! Glad I did not pick the Texcans defence....
Oh! Sacked!
Early days. They'll create turnovers and create plenty of pass rush.
Sure there are points for sacking Schaub
Commentators asking why the Texans struggled at the end of the season. Saying it's ok - last four games were against playoff teams. That's all well and good, but now they have to beat those teams. That'll be their problem come next week.
Come on Johnson!
I'd agree completely. And now they have no bye and no momentum.
3rd and inches
QB Sneak time....
Wow, Schaub just ran for his first 1st down of the season.
He's no Brady, clearly...
Either a v good or v poor stat - I can't decide.
Easy FG range so let us run that ball!
Houston have started well, making plays on pass and play action pass. Bengals did well to keep them to a FG. Honours even so far.
I mean Schaub running for his 1st 1st down just now - either offence hasn't needed him to, or he's failed to manage even one.
FG time again...
Maybe they gave it to Foster most of the time?
Defensive game = low-scoring. Anyone with the HOU kicker?
Yup, I have Graham on my team for now....
Texanshave great coverage on pass at the moment.
Pick!
Oh, incomplete?
Well, they're pretty much where it finished anyway.
Looks like the correct call from the replay, to me. Bad throw though.
I think the Bengals will struggle if they go more than 1 TD down. I don't think they have enough offensive threat to trouble the Texans from far back.
Oh, pick 6!
That was a great play, undercut the route.
Commentators are calling it a bad throw now, but that was just a great play.
I'm behind and now watching closely :D
Great read by the CB
Oops, sorry. Let me know where you're up to for syncing comments :-)
Not a problem. Just call it when you see it.
My thoughts too. That was all about the CB making the play.
crap! Bengals INT TD.
Tell you what, that Bengals TD was the best example possible of why people always say defense wins Superbowls.
That better start moving those sticks....
Have we been checking our Fantasy Team scorces, out there?
no, too early for that!
Bah, TO Houston....
Bengals' redzone defense is good, but that was all about a missed catch.
Oh, for crying out loud, only a FG?
yep :-)
Like really, I am of the believe that once you get past the 5, always go for a TD early in the game. So what if the other team gets athe ball deep in their own end if you screw up?
I am off to hunt down some quiestionable food. Bye everyone.
Enjoy.
Problem is, you can end up with 0 points on the board instead of 9.
HOU are steamrolling the HT stats board.
I thought offsides on a kickoff meant a rekick, not a 5 yard penalty?
Oh, looks like Noelinho 1, NFL refs 0 on the NFL rulebook there :-)
I've not seen one before... but would've guessed at more than 5. Hardly any discouragement/punishment. Maybe TB changes the penalty?
Ah, Mike Pereira helpfully confirms they have the option of either enforcing the penalty after the kickoff, or to rekick.
It's the same on punts - you can take the five yards, or opt for a second punt.
And starting on the 25 is a reasonable place to go from.
Texans' defense is too good for the Bengals today.
flag
That's a flag all day. That's as unsporting as you can get.
Fair-catch?
Big hit
That's two penalties really.
Are you asking what that is?
No I know, asking why they didn't.
He was hit before the ball got there, plus he called for the fair catch.
Like you say, 2 infringements.
Technically you have to catch the ball before the second penalty can be called, so it's just one, but it doesn't matter - both are 15 yards. Bengals should be made to pay for that - Texans will start around midfield.
Yeah, I'd agree that you can't commit the 2nd until he has possession :)
Bengals have given the Texans 20 yards and a 1st down on this drive - and that was a 3rd down penalty. Ouch.
If anyone picked AJGreen they'll be spitting feathers. No targets in the 1st half.
Wow, Foster already was 99 yards on the ground. Think he's my second RB :-)
Grumbles. I put him back.
100 yards plus a TD should be 16 points.
Ponder is inactive.
My arm just had a really weird spasm. My whole right side had a little momentary fit.
Maybe an unknown QB will be like unveiling another Kaepernick - no film...
Sympathy pains for Ponder?
Hmm. Don't think he's as good tbh!
Dalton makes the deep pass this time. Wasn't double coverage, which helped.
Me either. At least Kaep ran the WildCat at times. I've nothing on Webb.
Think he's got -1 yards this season.
Ha. #GameOver
To be fair, I think that's on one play, which is always a really bad indicator!
Dalton has finally realised that he's Green's on the field
True. (The Chargers never even used their backup... He just wore a headset and relayed the plays.)
Challenge: Houston think pass was complete.
Wait, no, it'll be a fumble?
Meh, wasn't paying enough attention. Defensive challenge.
Looking at his arm motion... Fumble or no. I wasn't looking closely enough either.
It'll be a FG attempt.
Correct calls on the field and from the under the hood.
It's a one-possession game again.
Last night I was wondering what the difference between a screen and a bubble screen was, and then worked it out in my sleep.
(I say worked it out so that it doesn't sound like I dreamt up the answer)
Bengals nearly lost the ball there.
Butterfingers`
Pick.
Can't see the Bengals getting a result here. They just can't do anything against the Texans' defense.
No real production to speak of... Texans should win this.
ah, man, I've got AJ Green, and I haven't got Foster. Swapped him for Lynch.
I have Peterson and Walsh in the late game.
I've Rodgers and Nelson later... Predicting the Packers.
I've got Manning.
I thought about that, then thought that Green Bay could well get to the Superbowl (so have played an extra game to score points in)
I reckon they'd have to beat Seattle to get to the Superbowl :-)
Hi guys, I am back. Nice to see the good guys are still winning....
I was also thinking that the Pack only have Rogers' arm to get them there :)
Dalton is 8/20 for 67.
Which could be a problem as time goes on. But we'll see. They're strong.
I've doubled up with Nelson as WR. Eggs and baskets come to mind.
Well, if Rodgers scores well, it follows that Nelson will too.
Exactly. Go big or go home. (Crosses fingers)
Another FG for Hosuton. I am certain that I picked the right kicker....
HOU 19-10
Dalton having serious trouble hearing the playcalls.
B. Green-Ellis: Two receptions, -9 yards. Longest: -3
Those numbers should be illegal.
They are awesome numbers if you are playing golf!
Of Dalton's 10 completed passes, he has 1 pass for 45 yards, and 9 for 36...
Longest drive of -3 yards? But that's backwards
It's Monty Python-esque
"Run Away"!
Oooooo
Block that punt!
no punt
47yarder
*&*^^& FG! *&*
1 possession again.
What do the sidelines use those parabolic mics to try to hear? Their team / the opposition / other?
Relax. What have the Bengals managed tonight? One pick six, and pretty much nothing else.
It is still too close a game for my lking. The Bengals are too close to beating the spread....
They're for the broadcast.
Beating the spread is different to winning the game ;-)
Ohh ok. I was thinking they were to try to catch the playcall from the opposite sideline, even though it is hidden byt the coaches' playsheets.
Not when you put your money down on the favoured team.....
Ah, betting. Bookies make a profit. Therefore, betting's a mug's game ;-)
Walters takes out the chain gang! 10 points!
That's always my favourite play :-) I always used to do it on Madden, every play I could :-)
I think Houston was thinking of faking that punt.
Mine is the TD dive, holding the ball out so it skims the pylon and knocks it over.
If you don't dive into the endzone, it's not a TD. #MaddenFact
I often spin the last 10 yards.
A sak, fumble and TD would be nice right about now....
Why don't you try showboating the last 10 yeards and see the ball get scripped out of you hands like that one guy had in real life - twice....
...only when I'm soo free from trouble - I seem to break the coverage enough and then off to the races.
Wish I could ever get that free, but then I play Brady-style :-)
Dalton didn't glance back, so had no clue the defender was coming back at him.
Montanna / Young style. back 5 yards, throw 15 yards. repeat until game over.
Sure that music in the stadium just then during the TO was actually on a Madden recently.
I'm almost always in the hurry-up offence - and regularly put heftypoints-0.
I throw screens all the time. Screens, curls and crossings. Rarely anything else, runs aside. Sometimes go for an empty backfield, ready the coverage and take an easy vertical route.
I have all my audibles, presnap adjusts and change of routes so that I find the miss-match, then give him a simple streak to beat the coverage, unless i'm running to the outside.
So, it's either Houston @ New England, or Cincinnati steal it and travel to Denver.
I never audible. I can always find something :-) But play action always = sack. Play action is broken in Madden 10.
One yard shorter and that's a TD.
They take too long to develop.
Makes a change on the overthrows of earlier in the game.
It's more that the o-line crumbles and the pass option hasn't come up by the time the QB is sacked. He's always sacked after about 0.5 secs.
That was an awful play on 4th down. Didn't give the receiver any hope of getting to the marker.
Get a real o line then. You need men, not baby girls....
No, the game's just broken for play action.
Turns out you can switch Fantasy players until the start of the game they play in.
Frig, I hired a Sumo wrester to be my centre. I get 5 yards just by using him on 3 and 3's.....
That's the game.
Not quite over yet...
There is the 2minute warning...
It was done :-)
No passing TDs in the game.
I can see the next game being rather different
I won't be around for the late game - have to be running things at church tomorrow morning.
Me either, sleep is still needed, so I'm glad tomorrows 2 are in the earlier slots.
I won't be around for the early game tomorrow, will be in about half an hour into the second.
Coolcool. I'll man the fort. At least you can catch the second. That looks like the game of the round.
Turns out the Bengals' D earned one more points than the Texans in that one.
Cheese please, for the win.....!
Nice, 2nd & 1 for the pack, 0.- 3 for the Good guys....
Wow. Looks like GB won a challenge and got a 9 yard in for a TD on the next play. 6 - 3 GB.
XPT good. 7 - 3 GB.
3rd and 5 from the MINN 34 yard line and GB throws a 32 yard pass awesome!
1st and Goal from the 2 and GB gets a FG.
TD GB!!! (16 - 3 GB.)
X PT is good. 17 - 3 GB.
24 - 3 GB.
Minn Fumbles the ball at BG 35. it is recovered by GB.
Vikings just dropped a 50 yard bomb on GB for a TD. score now 10 - 24 GB with 3:39 in the game....
Final Score, 24 GB - 10 Minn.
The IND-BAL crowd singing the 7 Nation Army loop for ~5mins before KO - not just English football fans then.
Hmmm, I wonder why I am awatching this game. Nobody's in my Fantasy League, and I need to get some things done around the house...
I'm listening to Colts radio (brilliantly biassed) while I make dinner. They keep referring to Luck as Andy which is really off-putting as I'm not used to it.
Rice Fumble? Colts ball?
The Game Tracker has yet to be updated from the 1-10 at the 15. Oh, it just got called a fumble....
Hmmm, does that cost you any money?
Sounds like Luck is clicking on this one.
You where saying?
*coughs*
Well, at least he did not get stripped of the ball this time around....
How is this happening, the live radio is being beaten by GameCentre?
YOu should see how long the it takes for the plays to be updated on the game tracker.
Will, lucky for us this is not the NHL, both of us would have been in the Sin Bin for 2 minute minors for "Highshticking".... :p
:) This Ray Lewis guy looks long in the tooth. He should consider hanging it up some day soon.
Ravens 10-6 at the half.
3rd Quarter action now...
Wow what a play for the Ravens! 50 yard bomb on 3 - 19 at their own 9 yard line!
They do love converting from 3rd-&-long this season
A little bit too much. I wonder what are they going to do on 4-19? [joke]
Probs call Flacco for a QB-sneak
funny, I called that too, but changed my mind....
Useless snap, no chance.
Tough luck for Andy .... :p
Zing!
@NFL_ATL: No QB was knocked down more this year than Luck. That's 7 times today. Had no chance. #INDvsBAL
Where Kai? She would like puns like that....
Puts on sunglasses......
"You could say that Colts could use better Luck!"
YYYYYYYeah!
Ravens 17-9 after the 3rd.
Uhoh Ravens, another Ray Rice fumble.
@ESPNStatsInfo: Ray Rice: 2 fumbles today. He had only 1 fumble(which the Ravens recovered) in regular season
No amount of Luck can recover a win from all these fumbles.....
And now they're out of Luck with that missed FG.
This is getting way too easy....
We're Luck-y, the Colts play is why it's easy.
3rd and 1 and the Ravens call a timeout? like, do not they have a RB they can hand off to?
That guy managed not to fumble.
Apparently not....
Luck of the draw, I guess....
TD Ravens. Colts look to be (as well as out of Luck) out of time.
Flacco now topping the Fantasy-QB-scoring
Proff that a good QB needs a decent O-Line instead of Luck? ;p
Come on Colts, you have Luck on your side.... :p
15 points, 06:35... Tough ask.
1 TD, 1 x pt, an offside kick that the Colts recover, another TD and a 2 pointer.... all for a tie game... and there still might be time on the clock.....
INT Ravens, and that the game - apparently you need more than a name on your jersey to have Luck on your team....
Not with that pick...
Good call Colts going on 4th down. It was their last shot of a chance of winning this game....
Can't fault them there either
They just need more Luck, does Andy have a brother?
If he's anything like the Colts last QB's brother, he'll not be as good.
Cool, I am currently 1st in the NFL Sidepodcast Group, and I an nobody in the last game....
I've only had 2 play so far, with only 1 more in the next game, hence languishing down the bottom.
I only picked people from teams in the first round of games so that I would get a good start. Didn't quite work out so far
I feel dirty. I have picked the Skins QB, RB and def in this game. Does this make me a awful Cowboys fan?
You could hardly pick Cowboys players. It is the Cowboys fault the Redskins made the playoffs
I picked players from teams that would progress / ones that will likely win next week. I've only got Marshawn Lynch left today, hoping he gets a lot of touches.
I have him and the Seahawks D
I need ice cream before the match starts
I've the Broncos' D...
Hey Steven, what's up?
Right now the only thing that is up is me fetching ice cream once I decide what flavour I want
You are pretty safe with rocky road.....
THe choice is Mint chocolate or Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia
Mint Choc.
Hello hello
So it's not all sunshine and roses between these teams, huh?
Scoops of each?
Both is usually a good answer when it comes to ice cream.
Did that before. Didn't work too well.
I think it is only fair I go with Will's choice since he got in first
Greetings Kai.
Between the NFL teams or the SPC teams?
Mint is never a bad choice :) Or just compromise and have 2 mints and 1 cherry.
Do Tell, Shaggy (From Scooby Doo)
I got to the game as they were shoving each other around. NFL.
RG3 is the reason I'm not up on the Seahawks' D.
Interesting idea. Work on the basis that there must be a ratio that works so try every ratio until I find the right one. I now have mint choc in front of me though so I am not getting back up
Hi everyone
Grfeetings.
Evening there. Good timing.
Seahawks D not helping my score
Just caught the TD :-)
How was the first game?
Qiuck 6 for the skins....
Saving the best game of the w/e for last :)
Terrible. Will^ and I had a field day macking bad puns about Luck. Kai would have loved it...
I thought it was boring, but I had other stuff I was getting done at the same time, so maybe it was me.
85 offensive plays from the Colts, and only 9 points? Wow.
They were awful, so the game was clearly worse.
You where Luck-er than the Colts, Kai......
That sack has to help my score...
Come on you 'Hawks.
Move those sticks, skins!
Seahawks' D getting taken to pieces somewhat.
Griffin fell really awkwardly there.
At least he didn't take the hit.
Reckon they might go out of shotgun more if he's like that.
They are determined to cost me points
That was a real cheap shot.
Whoa, what in the hell was that hit on RGIII all about?
Unnecessary, yes.
You might be looking at negative points
If they can knock him out of the game and only cost them a few yards here and there, then that is one tactic, a dirty one that is.
It was the fault of the other player who shoved RG3 into the player who hit him. He was stumbling after contact with another player
RG3 heading to the locker-room. Bet he hopes the D doesn't do too good a job.
The USS Enterprise just flew by.
Either that or the camera close to the field.
hey, another sack for the skins!
Some decent YAC on that play.
Esp on the underthrow
The Hawks QB must hav been lucky on that last play.
he was in
good on the line judge for overruling. It was a clear catch the first time you saw it.
Gook work guys, we still have an 11 point lead...
Seahawks D has scored one point for me
Broncos have scored none for me ;-)
Skins D currently sit on 9. was 12.
Woohoo. Lynch is up to 1pt on the day.
I picked them, too.
I am looking for them and Marshawn Lynch to rescue my score
he just may do that...
That counts as a run, yes?
Recovering a fumble is points
darn D does not get points for making a fumble....
...It should do
looks like one lousy pt. up to 10 now...
That'll be 1pt for the sack, and only the recovery scores 2.
Fumble is worthless if not recovered.
Looks like it may not be a one sided game after all
That was a brilliant running pickup by Lynch, btw
Yup. So a D has to come away with it in order to score.
Btw - that Lynch pickup doesn't count for stats.
Exactly. So it's not as daft as it might seem at first look.
Yeah, but who cares about stats? ;-)
Doesn't seem to count for fantasy points either. He is still showing as only having 1 point
Seattle have an injured kicker?
When the stats dictate the points, then a lot of us.
That was never going to end well. Double coverage all over it.
He just didn't see the safety.
Punter to kick?
Kicker is #4
Punter's out
Kicker's practicing.
Kicker to kick
Punter is the holder as well
So new kicker and new holder or not
FG good
Original kicker
10 minutes in I would never have believed that there would only be one point in it at half time
Seattle D definitely took a while to settle, Wilson took a while to get going, I'd say Seattle are on top at the moment though.
It looks that way and they get the first possession of the second half. Washington could be 6 points down before they get the ball
No chance of me going to bed in the middle of this one :)
I'm staying up until it's over.
Did someone just say they are worried RGIII might be hurt? #obvious
How did Lynch even get past the line of scrimmage there? Good cover from Wilson!
Might like Lynch to carry it in please.
Wow. Big turnover.
That is huge
Wow. Big play. Now watch RG£ under pressure inside his 5.
That was like the parting of the red sea.
Nice run, even if he missed the read before
Can't see Washington winning this now.
Griffin limped for 9 yards.
Nice blocking on that play!!
QB blocking for the TD. I knew it was going to take something odd to get another score in this game
Marshawn Lynch is up to 16 points. My highest scoring player of the weekend
It's a TD game.
Made the two point conversion
Can you really see Washington scoring though? Griffin's too hurt.
He's seriously helped my tally as well.
Momentum with Seattle.
That sack was coming. Should have thrown it the first time.
Bad sack for RG3
Seattle ball
Game over.
There really wasn't much point having him in the game.
RG3 is outta there. Shame.
His knee shouldn't bend that way
Griffin back out. That has to be a bad idea
Not on the field.
From Twitter: RG3 can’t walk, run, or throw right now. He’s basically Mark Sanchez
I've had to get some stuff done for tomorrow. Should I check back with the game?
It's as good as over. Seahawks are 10 points up and RG3 is out injured
And turnover on downs too
Big hit on Cousins. Ouch
Good news is Marshawn Lynch has scored us 16 points
boo. :(
bad news is I had RG3.
And now they'll be running down the clock on the ground
I wentt with Aaron Rogers at QB and he scored 15
Morning all. What did I miss?
Me too. Doing surprisingly well in the league, actually.
So far I am scoring 24 points in this game. Should move up a little
I've only got 3 players playing this weekend. Will remain midtable.
I've never done a fantasy league before. My first instinct was to go with Rodgers but I wanted to support RG3. Oh well. I don't have many points, but I'll just play along and see what happens. When can we pick for round 2?
I think it might open soon after the final whistle.
No reason for them to delay long. Tonight or tomorrow at the latest I expect
Seattle to beat Atlanta.
Are we locked in or can we switch our players as we go?
can switch, but you lose your multipier
We can switch every week. Under your choices there is a row of slots for each round of the playoffs but if you keep a player he scores double points next week and triple in the third week you have him
every switch you make will lessen your overall points?
So pick wisely?
ah, ok. Thanks.
Nice! So basically as long as I'm confident they'll keep winning I can keep them.
And the problem is people who get lucky week 1 could be impossible to beat
Yup, although best to switch early (if they're going to lose), so you can get the multipliers later
But we get to choose new players for teams that are out now, like I choose another QB instead of RG3.
You can have a whole different team each week, regardless of who gets knocked out (etc), but then of course you don't take advantage of the multipliers.
Thanks.
ew. Just saw replay of RG3's knee. *rubbing my own knee out of sympathy*
The block by Wilson was a highlight for me
They pushed that knee way too hard. But assuming it'll make a complete recovery, he will be a force to be reckoned with next year.
Yes. And now he has plenty of time to rehab.
An extra few weeks than he might've had. But no Pro Bowl for him then.
Amazing he's a rookie.
BTW, thanks for the post-season post, Will.
Just checked the best roster tab on the fantasy game. Maximum score available this weekend was 144
You're welcome. I take that the lack of comments means that no-one had any objections ;)
You can now choose new selections for next weekend's round of the fantasy competition
