Nope, it certainly did not.

[SinisterDeath]

I'm.... really happy I somehow picked J. Taylor in my Fantasy League.

 

51!!

(Which offsets my QB getting 0 Points for being out for 3 weeks in a row! *grumbles*)

[thehumantrashcan]

Ah, the torture that is fantasy football.  Nice pick man!

Playoff predictions?

 

The 16 game schedule was perfect but I do like the new playoff seeding format. #1 seed getting the only Bye makes this late season stretch so much more intense

[thehumantrashcan]

Honestly, I tend not to care all that much if the Seahawks aren't in it until the super bowl.  But this year I will be interested in how the Cardinals do.  Any of you guys watch Tom Grossi on YouTube?  Dude plays a stereotype of each fan and the Cardinals is this old grumpy granddad who cheers for the Cardinals so his grandson will think he is interesting and give him a call.  May just cheer for the Cardinals for the post season just because I like his portrayal of that character.

Can't say I've watched much YT of any variety for a long time. I'm afraid but also have a good idea of what his Cowboys fan stereotype is. sometimes the worst part of this fandom is dealing with the other fans  

 

The Cards are an interesting team. I haven't watched them play much this year but I am looking forward to their matchup with the Boys in a few weeks. Hopefully both teams will be healthy by then because it has seeding implications

Sounds like there are a couple of fantasy footballers here - if so let me know!    I actually have a team that could use a manager for the remainder of the 2021 season, with obviously first prerogative to take over full time in 2022.   If interested let me know - otherwise I'll be advertising in the usual fantasy football forums this weekend.

League is run on MFL and is a typical 12 team ppr league.

Here’s to your teams winning this week ???

 

Ps - if there’s any interest what say we do a weekly pick ‘‘em game or something?
 

simple rules like predict the winner of the primetime matchups with combined final score of one as tie breakers

We used to do a pick'em every year on Entertainment. It's a bit of work & a bit late to do one this year (IMO).

Here's how we used to do it.

Go Dolphins!

 

I love that they hurt my soul every year. Start hot collapse late. 

 

Or this year start awful, improve to show what a good team they could be. Then start badly next year again. lol

that’s pretty cool. I was thinking of something way simpler just an easy W/L record for correct picks and maybe only 3 games per week

 

I do agree it’s a bit late this year but I’d love to drum up more activity in this forum. I’m a football FANATIC

I was born into the height of the Cowboys reign and have since watched them disappoint me for the last several decades

 

as far as soul crushing goes, I hear you ??

Yeah, that did get a big complicated, but figured I'd offer options for next  year! 

 

We also used to have a Fantasy League as well!

They said that every year every pickup since Marino. 

 

I’ll believe it when we make it past the first round of the playoffs lol

For us longtime Seahawk fans, we have always been used to defeat.  Hasselbeck and Holmgren gave us our first real taste of hope and Wilson and the LoB gave us our first taste of victory.  But if we go back to mediocrity again I can handle it.  Happy we got at least a taste.

*Shrugs*

I haven't really been following them this year, primarily 'cause I don't have cable/tv. 

But Vikings losing critical games is like Winter in Minnesota. No matter how much you don't want to see the "S" word, it's inevitable. 

[thehumantrashcan]

You're right, there are other teams worse off than us.  We have been able to taste sweat victory.  I just see it as the exception, not the norm.

Despite their best efforts to blow a double digit lead in the 4th, Vikes win. Skol!

Not a bad week for the fandoms in here

[whiskey delta]

AFC

1 - KC Chiefs (10-4)

2 - NE Patriots (9-5)

3 - Tennessee Titans (9-5)

4 - Cincinnati Bengals (8-6)

5 - Indianapolis Colts (8-6)

6 - LA Chargers (8-6)

7 - Buffalo Bills (8-6)

 

NFC

1 - GB Packers (11-3)

2 - Dallas Cowboys (10-4)

3 - TB Buccaneers (10-4)

4 - Arizona Cardinals (10-4)

5 - LA Rams (10-4)

6 - SF 49ers (8-6)

7 - Minnesota Vikings (7-7)

 

I’m a big fan of this new format. Adding a seventh seed and giving only the #1 a BYE makes for an intense end to the season.

A legend in the NFL world passed today.
