NFL Fantasy League 2007

[strangeirish]

Good game going tho!
Yep. Just finished watching the Jags lay one on the Titans and settling in for the Giants and Cowboys. Looks like we have one each in this one.

[Burny89]

I'm still just edging you out despite the best attempts of Shayne Graham, 6 field goals

Giants - Cowboys a very good game!

ahhhh wait a minute make that 7 field goals

[strangeirish]

I just picked him up the other day! I need Barber to get me a TD, quick like. You have Gates going later and that should do it for you.

[Clifford]

I kicked ass so far this week, Farve, Shockey, Dunn and Wayne all went bananas. Too little too late though I fear.

Good fun though so far.

[max power]

hey Dodge its you and me this sunday :cool:

be easy on me:p

[Clifford]

Yessssssssss, easy win coming up for me this week, a massive 10 ahead and he's only got yer man Tom Brady to come. No chance :eek::D

[Burny89]

that would be you losing now then ;)

Got a tightish game with AC alittlesilhouettoofaman. As long as Randy Moss doesn't blow up too much i think i'll be alright. Brady likes to give the ball to Welker so that should get me a few points

McNabb got me the impressive total of minus 7 in my money league, what a guy

[Burny89]

Randy Moss, 3 touchdowns in the first half. Anybody think that Brady and Moss will go one better than Romo and Owens :)

[strangeirish]

I'd say they will...:D

[Burny89]

god damn it!!!!

The Pats are amazing, Tom Brady is something else

[Clifford]

Tom Brady, fluke night again. Ha ha. God damn it.

[strangeirish]

Don't forget to set your line ups early this week if you have players going on Thursday, as there are two games, Green Bay at Detroit and The Colts at Atlanta.

[strangeirish]

Add the Jets and Cowboys also to the Thursday games.

[max power]

all live and i might even buy some sliced turkey and cranberry juice just to get into the TG mood !!!!

[strangeirish]

Yep, big 'ol Turkey day, where everyone puts on a few extra pounds. Like some of these Yanks need it!:D

[Dodge]

For those in Dublin and of an American persuasion, the Woolshed pub on Parnell St is doing a Thanksgiving special. Turkey dinner (all the trimmings) with a jug of beer for €10. All the the NFL on the big screens

[Burny89]

Sweet, i love thanksgiving, its like preperation for christmas! Been cooking all day

[max power]

good win this weekend the vikings really came through for me !

[Clifford]

Nice one Brett, -2 and injured. Bummer. Oh well..

[max power]

Only one week left, how are the playpff positions looking now ???

If i was in a different division and be on top:(

[shedite]

Somehow my (AC) 3 game lead has slipt, and I'm off the top of the East with one game to go. Need Mike Vicks Pitbulls to lose to win the division. Don't think I can get the wildcard spot either as DerekCOLT beat me this season (presume head-to-head is the tiebreaker). Boys in blue could probably still win the division too.

West Division is all over - Burny89 in the playoffs. No wildcard contender.

Central Division has been won - Newbridge Wagons. Baxters Ears could overtake DerekColt with a win (Colt holds the tiebreaker) to get into the wildcard hunt.

DerekColt will get the wildcard with a win. If they lose, then Baxter or any of the East teams could get it.

West Division
burny89 8-5
Inchicore Warriors 6-7
Bohemian Rough Riders 3-9
Student Steelers 3-10

Central Division
Newbridge Wagons 10-3
DEREKCOLT1 9-4
Baxter Ears 8-5
Brady's Bunch 3-9

East Division
Mike Vicks Pitbull 8-5
AC Alittlesilhouettoofaman 8-5
Boys in Blue 7-6
Cliffords clippers 4-9

[shedite]

Doing a bit further investigation,

If DerekColt win, they get to 10-4 and take the wildcard.

If they lose, they will be on 9-5, as will Baxter. Baxter has beaten DerekColt so they hold the tiebreaker here (and Colt will be out). They could be joined on 9-5 by AC and Pitbulls. Pitbulls will win the division, and seeing as AC has already beaten Baxter this year, AC will get the wildcard (assuming they get to 9-5). If they lose, Baxter will be wildcard.

So to sum up, if DerekColt win, they get the wildcard at 10-4. If they lose, and AC and Pitbulls win, AC get wildcard at 9-5, and DerekColt are out.

Confusing stuff!

For my heads sake I hope I win next week. Those permutations are way beyond me!

[Clifford]

And what about my Clippers, I think I can still win the whole thing if you all pull out now and leave me on my own. I prob would still get knocked out!!

Good work everybody, going to be interesting this Sunday then. Some good games on sly sports as well. Might book Monday off!

[Dodge]

I'm the detroit lions of the fantasy world. Won my first 4 games...

[Clifford]

:D Very good

[Burny89]

See ya in he playoffs, i've had a really good second half of the season ;)

[swano]

Think I've made the playoffs too unless Brees and Colston score -5 between them tonight!

[Clifford]

Same old story for me last night, great performance from my boys and then the Packers Defense come up with 34 points to beat me, bloody hell.

Ah well, good luck to all the play off people - will watch on with envy!

[shedite]

By the looks of things, Newbridge Wagons are top seeds, so they play the wildcard in the playoffs.

Mikes Vicks Pitbulls are in so long as they don't score -5 tonight. They'll play Burny89 in the plaoffs.

In the wildcard hunt, DerekColt1 will get it so long as Ronnie White doesn't outscore Reggie Bush by 36 points tonight ;)

Playoffs:
Newbridge Wagons V DerekColt1
Mike Vicks Pitbulls V Burny89

[swano]

Playoffs decided as per Shedite's post above.

My game against Burny has his QB throwing to 2 of my players and my QB throwing to one of his! Should be interesting. I'm already unsure of which RB's to start after going with Petersen last week (0) and leaving Addai(25) on the bench.:mad:

[Burny89]

arrrghhh!!!

Not only is my quarterback throwing to 2 of your guys, but I have Chester Taylor and you got Peterson so we'll see who gets the ball on the run

Picked up Jabbar Gaffney to try and salvage some points

[Burny89]

That was quite a slick move by myself to pick up Jabar Gaffney and Michael Jenkins who scored a grand total of 0 point, and i dropped Reggie Brown for one of them and he scored a TD lol

Anyway the snow in Cleveland has helped, even tho Anderson didn't score too many for me, it also took Winslow and Edwards outta the game for swano.

Should be an interesting Monday night

[Clifford]

Fair play to the brother Delcolt who picked up Stecker of New Orleans on a free on Weds night. The guy had 23 points with 2 td's and 95 yards - what a move. It also helped that Brady stank the place out.

Yeah, fair play on that move. Ah well, maybe next year. Brady hurt a lot of fantasy leaguers this week!

[swano]

Weather was unreal last night. Backed no TD in the Buffalo v Browns game at 66/1 so was hoping 2 of my players got nowhere near the endzone!

Picked the wrong RB's for the 2nd week in a row. Ravens late collapse also cost me. 54 points between Burnys D and kicker was some score. Could be close tonight and come down to goal line carries.

[Burny89]

your going down just like Vicks dogs :|

[swano]

Fighting talk indeed, but rookie of the year Peterson won it for me. Will have to set the team early this week as I won't be around on the weekend.

Got beaten in my other league at the weekend. Was up against the Tampa D in that one too:mad:

[Burny89]

yeah cn't say i was too confident last night, that last comment was merely the words of a broken man

[Clifford]

Very even battle in the final, Peterson is going to be huge in deciding it, Chargers defence also a factor...

[swano]

My team picked a fine time to put up their lowest total of the season:mad:

Well done Derekcolt. The NFL season is too bloody short. The wait from Feb to sept is terrible.

[strangeirish]

Well done to DerekColt1 and cheers to Aberdonian Stu for setting it all up. Great fun all the way from the draft to the end. Look forward to next years. And you're right swano, the season is too short!

[Aberdonian Stu]

Yeah the length of season is annoying, it really punishes you when you have a bad start.

[Clifford]

Well done everybody who took part, we're all winners. From my brothers point of view he's over the moon to have won the 10,000 euro put up by the Foot.ie owners and awaits the cheque eagerly. If yee make it out to Clifford I'll see he get's it all. Sometime.

Bringing in Stecker for Bush was an inspired move - won the play off and final for him.

Can't wait for next year, from the draft to the end is great fun. Thanks to AS for setting it up.

[Burny89]

Yeah hats of to DerekColts!!!

Look forward to next year too

[shedite]

Playoff game sarts this weekend? It's similar to a soccer Fantasy game. 300 to spend on 8 players. No draft required. Limited transfers per week tho.

I set up a group. Hopefully this link will work for ye:
