I. MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER

 

Two division winners already as Green Bay and New England have both clinched their divisions and a playoff slot while Jacksonville and Philadelphia have also clinched a playoff berth and have big division leads and can clinch this week with wins.  Be sure if you have trouble hooking up to be sure you get a plan in place and a sub if needed.  Thanks for the great work guys!  I have updated files on the website, go ahead and get those and get started on your game contacts for week 13.

 

I can’t stress enough that you need to IMMEDIATELY send me your game export when the game is complete.  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.

***There is a new game update available on the website, dated 11/6/13 *** 

 

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.  Also, be sure you give me enough names as the more injuries the more likely someone else already grabbed the guy you want. 

 

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 

 

This week in the AFC Cleveland beats Buffalo to move 2 games clear in the East as Denver falls to Houston.  Dallas wins big over the Jets and New England does the same over Minnesota to clinch the Central division title and a playoff slot.  Pittsburgh’s winning streak ends versus New Orleans and Tennessee goes back on top in the West with a big division win over San Diego.  Chicago falls to Tampa Bay and Indianapolis wins easily over the Forty Niners.

This week in the NFC Philly and Arizona play a classic game that Philadelphia pulls out in the end and takes a commanding lead in the West while Green Bay wins over Carolina to clinch the Central Division and a playoff slot.  Seattle wins big over NY Giants and New Orleans gets a win over the Steelers to get a tighter hold on the final playoff spot.  St. Louis again beats Miami who stays winless and Jacksonville beats Detroit to stay 3 games up in the East.  Tampa Bay beats Chicago and Atlanta wins over Kansas City to keep their slim playoff hopes alive.

Coming up in the AFC Dallas and Tennessee lock up in the fight for the West division top spot and New England will try to stay unbeaten against a very tough Philadelphia squad.  Buffalo visits Houston and San Diego hosts NY Jets as both fight for a playoff spot.  Indianapolis hosts Pittsburgh in as the Colts try and catch someone to get the final playoff slot and Cleveland heads to Kansas City trying to keep their 2 game lead in the East. Denver is off to Minnesota as they try and catch the Browns.

 

Coming up in the NFC Green Bay hosts Miami and tries to avoid the let down and an upset and Jacksonville heads to San Francisco with a slight chance of clinching a playoff spot.  Seattle will try and stay alive for the East division as they host New Orleans and Philadelphia will try and give the Patriots their first loss.  Carolina tries to keep the playoff race alive as they head to Tampa Bay and NY Giants and St. Louis fight it out for a better draft position.  Kansas City hosts Cleveland and Arizona hosts Chicago as they try and keep up with the Eagles.  Detroit and Atlanta face off with the loser likely done in the playoff race and the other keeping their slim hopes alive.
