Well....that just happened. Shame about Murray. They have to figure something out about the knee injuries.

1 week left...I think GDB still has a shot.

That moves you into first going into that last week. That was a nice break for you since you had Hopkins and he had Murray... there was almost no way for you to win that game unless Tonya Harding intervened.

It appears that 3 of 4 playoff positions are clinched, with the number #1 seed is up for grabs, though no one but me has a particularly tough game next week, and I can't win it on points. If I can't have the #1 seed, I want you to have it as I think you are a tad bit tougher than Stable Genius given that I had to score 169 points just to beat you by 2.

I will be doing all I can, however, to help GDB by ending Infantry Boys playoff chances next week.

BTW. We ended up with 1 or 2 dead teams this year (and embarrassingly, I barely beat each of them). I do hope that is remedied next season as this is otherwise a good league.

I already wrote this week off yesterday and didnt check the scores til the 4th quarter. I hate that Murray went down...lousy way to win.

I looked at the points and who knows...Infantry Boys and GDB and it looks like they are REALLY close on points.

Im surprised X didnt do better. Bad luck for some of the boys.

My chances took a huge hit when Cooper Kupp went down for the season.

That's going to be tough to do. I play in a couple of money leagues every year, and the vast majority have 1 or 2 dead teams. No different this year.

You replace the dead teams with new owners. Hopefully the new owners play to the end. I took over a dead team last year. I like to think I'm an upgrade over the previous dead owner. One of this year's dead teams is a new owner, so it doesn't always work.

I have been in a money league for about 20 years. We have 1 or 2 new owners each year.... we have guys that aren't into it, but I don't remember people leaving open spots or IR players in their line-ups midseason very often. That is annoying.

No doubt. I put a lot of stock in CMC over the last few years and as my number one pick, he defintely created if not a mountain, a really decent sized molehill to overcome.

My decision in the first round, after inherenting a team that finished in last place last season, was Cooper Kupp or Justin Jefferson.

Mistakes were made.

I grabbed Dalvin Cook in the 1st. Not worth a 1st round pick. I had Jonathan Taylor as a keeper, that cost me a 2nd round pick. It seemed like a no-brainer at the time, but he wasn't even worth a 2nd rounder. My best moves were drafting AJ Brown in the 3rd and Jalen Hurts in the 4th and keeping Jamar Chase, which cost me a 9th round pick.

@Hari Seldon Just a hearty congrats to you on your win!

I will be pulling for you in the final (If I have to lose, I want to lose to the winner). I really thought I had a great shot to win the league this year, but was buzzsawed by injuries this week (Hurts, Taylor and Pierece). My efforts to replace them led me to bad choices: I took Rogers over Minshew; Knight over Foreman; Wilson over Moore and dumped the NE D for Cleveland. All for good reason, but the result just wasn't there. Oh well, there is always next year. I still have great keepers.

Good luck.Wi

All comes down to tonight. If my guys come close to their projections I should win it. If not...well...it wasnt meant to be.

Congrats, I should have stayed with Jones to have a chance.

Not counting any chickens yet, but yeah...Jones had a great day. That would have knocked it out of the park.

That was an anticlimactic finish to the season.

Waddya say, ( @Hari Seldon )Hari...Red flips a coin for the winner...you can call it.

While I'm not thrilled with the way the season ended with the cancellation of the Bengals-Bills game, it is what it is. Congrats to @Hari Seldon for winning the league for the 2nd time!

I did have a good year but it's nothing to brag about. Vance would have won if they played.
