I. MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER

 

This is it guys, the final week with a lot to be decided still though most of the teams are set, still a lot of options on who will play who. Please, if you send me an injury sub request, let me know the full name of the player being replaced, how many games and the full name of the replacement so I don’t have to try and figure all that out on my own, just saves me some time.

 

I can’t stress enough that need to IMMEDIATELY send me your game export when the game is complete.  This is the second straight week that a host had something come up and forget to send me an export.  It takes about 30 seconds following your game to export it and send it to me.  Send your write up later on, that’s fine, but I MUST have the game export as soon as the game ends or I’ll have to sim the game to keep things.

 

***A new game update is available dated 11/29, please get it from the ISFL website before you play any games this week.*** 

 

Don’t forget, if you lose a player for 2 or more games, you can ask for an injury replacement, but it must be done the same week as the injury, so don’t wait, get those requests in right away and take advantage, especially the teams who are already challenged for the amount of games they have to work with.

 

Reminder that you MUST send a boxscore and writeup to the league after each game.  The home team is responsible for this, but either team can do it, as long as it does get done.  Also, you MUST send me the game export immediately after the game is complete.  It takes about 30 seconds, so I shouldn’t have to chase you down for that file after a game, just get it in right away so I don’t have to guess whether a game has happened or not.

II. News from Around the League 

 

In the AFC, Dallas beats San Francisco and from all appearances has wrapped up the conference title, a bye and home field until the Super Bowl.  New York beats Denver and move into the lead for the division while New England and Indianapolis lose to Arizona and San Diego and Pittsburgh beats Carolina, but it appears that the Patriots have clinched the division at this point.  Buffalo beats Cleveland and Tennessee beats Minnesota and that leaves them tied for the final two playoff slots, so week 17 will decide their seeding.  Houston loses to Kansas City to round out the conference.

 

In week 17, New York needs to beat Houston to win the East division again, if they slip, then Denver needs to win over San Diego to get their first division in a long time.  New England has the Central wrapped up, but can make it official with a win over Chicago or losses by Pittsburgh to Tampa Bay and Indianapolis at Dallas.  The Cowboys will rest bodies likely this week, but will try for win #14.  Tennessee goes to San Francisco and Buffalo is in Kansas City as they try and see who will finish #5 and #6 and avoid Denver/NY Jets in round 1.  Cleveland goes to Miami looking for win #6 and Minnesota will head to Seattle. 

 

In the NFC, Jacksonville wins over the Giants and Detroit shuts out St. Louis to stay tied in the East and it comes down to week 17 to decide the division and possibly the conference title. Green Bay beats Miami and Arizona gets the win over New England as they fight for the second bye.  New Orleans beats Philly to keep their slim division title chances alive.  Seattle beats Atlanta and Kansas City wins at Houston and they will fight for the final playoff slot in week 17.  Carolina loses to Pittsburgh and Tampa Bay beats Chicago to finish up the NFC.

 

Week 17 in the NFC has Arizona and New Orleans playing head to head for the West Division while Green Bay heads to St. Louis trying to finish second in the conference.  Jacksonville hosts Atlanta and Detroit does the same for the Giants with a loss costing either team the division title.  Seattle finishes 6th with a win over Minnesota, Kansas City has an outside chance if they beat Buffalo and Seattle loses.  Philadelphia hosts Carolina and Tampa Bay heads to Pittsburgh.  Miami hosts Cleveland and looks to get out of the basement with a win.
