I. MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER

 

The regular season is complete, thanks to everyone for another great season!  Enjoy the holidays and I will get playoff files out asap for the Wild Card round of games.  Good luck to all still in the playoffs.  For those not in, please hang around as I will have some final things for you to complete before the season is over.  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 for the end of the regular season, go ahead and get those and start thinking about awards voting.  I will get playoff files out by Thursday and then you can get started on your game contacts for the wild card games.

 

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 New England wins a tight one over Denver to take the top spot in the conference while Denver still locks into the #4 slot and a home game in the Wild Card round.  Cleveland also wins a tough one over the NY Jets and the Browns lock up the #2 seed while the Jets end up in the #5 in a hth tiebreaker with San Diego.  Dallas gets a win over San Francisco to win the AFC West and the #3 seed.  They get a home game against San Diego who beats Tennessee and wins the tiebreaker with Tennesee for the final playoff slot.  Chicago beats Indianapolis and Houston loses to Buffalo.  Minnesota falls to Detroit and the Steelers get steamrolled by Philadelphia.

 

This week in the NFC Jacksonville wins easily over Seattle to take the top spot in the conference and Seattle locks into the #5 seed.  Philadelphia walks all over the Steelers to clinch the #2 seed while Green Bay beats Tampa Bay and will be the #3 seed with a home Wild Card game.  Arizona wins over New Orleans to get the #4 seed and a home game, while the Saints are out of the playoffs with the loss. Detroit beat Minnesota to take the #6 seed Carolina beats St. Louis.  NY Giants beat Atlanta and Miami completes their perfect season with a loss to Kansas City. 

Coming up in the AFC we have the Wild Card round of games which match up the San Diego Chargers at the Dallas Cowboys, two teams meeting for the third time this year with the Chargers picking up a pair of wins so far and looking for the sweep and an upset in round 1.  Denver hosts the NY Jets in the other Wild Card game, another third meeting of the year for these two teams with the lower seed again holding a regular season sweep and looking for a third straight win to move on to the next round.

 

Coming up in the NFC Green Bay Packers host the Detroit Lions and once again the lower seeded team holds the season series as the Lions upset the Packers early and Green Bay will look for revenge and a date with Philadelphia in round 2.  Seattle heads to Arizona in the other match up this one between two teams who did not meet in the regular season this year but should provided a good match up for both teams.
