FANTASY NFL PLAYOFF CHALLENGE

[Neptune49]

Neptune, since you won last year you have to start with Tebow. 

I'm not going that far, but this year is more difficult than last year was...

Glad everyone's in!
Updated manager list in first reply.

I'm sure everyone knows, but just in case - the first game is tomorrow so make sure you're all set up.

One rule I didn't notice last year is that if you take any player who's on a bye week this weekend you'll get double points when you use them next weekend. For example if you plan on taking Rodgers next week, thinking that he'll run all the way to the Superbowl, you can select him this week, which wont get you any points for the QB position. But then when you use him next week you'll get double points, triple points the week after and quadruple points for the Superbowl - assuming he gets there. Otherwise the 2nd week would be single points,, double points for the third and triple for the Superbowl.
Makes for some tough decisions!

I'm sure I made a huge mistake yesterday... Originally I played Brees and Sproles, but took them out at the last minute because I thought the lions were going to win.  Hopefully my 2x points next week make up for it!

[Steppenwolf]

I took Spoles out as well for a 2X setup, which is silly since I've always have been a fan of his. Still pretty unsure about the inevitable (?) matchup between Rodgers and Brees.

[Neptune49]

This weekend really blew the league wide open!  I can't believe that my Niners upset the Saints.  Taking a look around the Fantasy league it looks like Everyone but myself had Brees in their lineup.  Going to be an interesting finish!   GO NINERS!

One took Flacco, one took Brady, someone will have a big advantage over everyone else

[Steppenwolf]

Despite several of us putting all of our chips in one basket the contest is still rather close. Most of us only have 3 or 4 players moving onto the final for mutliple points.

Most of us, that is, except my old nemisis Hailsux who has seven!! Doubt that I have much of a chance. But will hailsux have enough to leapfrog the 93 point gap between him and Neptune?? Should be close at the top.

[Steppenwolf]

I know that we are all ready to watch the game- but don't forget to set up your team

[Neptune49]

Really excited to see how the super bowl plays out... Hoping I can win this two years in a row!

I'm still kind of bummed the 49ers lost the NFC championship...

Concur... Although if you would've told me at the beginning of the year that they were going to lose in the NFC Championship game I would've told you that you were crazy.  It was a very successful year and I'm looking forward to many more with the team under Jim Harbaugh.  I watched every game for the past 5 years with NFL Sunday ticket and you could tell watching them this year that there is something special going on out there.  We'll get em next year!

[Steppenwolf]

Congrats to Neptune for winning the superbowl!!.



Thanks for a great season, guys!

[Neptune49]

Thanks Steppen!  That's two years in a row!  Exciting finish to the playoffs with the game last night.  Not the teams I wanted to see in it, but the game was decent.  Hope everyone had fun.

......Not the teams I wanted to see in it, .....

Wow, that makes the win even more impressive. Had it been either team I wanted I would have been competitive.
