MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER
Four
AFC playoff slots are clinched as Denver joins the party.
Still nothing official in the NFC as there are 8 teams fighting
for the 6 spots up for grab. Be sure if you have trouble hooking up that
you get a plan in place and contact me for a sub if needed.
This week is our bye week for Thanksgiving and we get back on
track next week, so essentially we have 2 weeks to play week 15 games.
Thanks for the great work guys!
I have updated files on the website for week 15, go ahead and get
those and start making your game contacts for the week, with home team
making contact by Tuesday and the games hopefully being set up by
Wednesday.
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 moving along if it is missing at the deadline.
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.

News from Around the League
In
the AFC, Indianapolis just gets by Pittsburgh as they stay at the top of
the conference and Denver wins over Atlanta to clinch a playoff spot.
San Diego takes a big divisional win over Tennessee and Dallas
falls to New Orleans in one of the biggest games of the week.
Cleveland beats Buffalo to stay in the final playoff spot and
Houston takes down the NY Jets to keep their playoff chances alive.
New England falls to St. Louis and Chicago falls to Kansas City.
Minnesota beats San Francisco to keep slim playoff chances alive
for both.
Week
15 in the AFC San Diego hosts Dallas as the two teams battle it out for
the division title and Indianapolis will host Miami trying to keep pace
at the top of the conference.
Denver heads to Minnesota and a win clinches the division while
Cleveland tries to catch them when they visit Detroit.
Tennessee has New England in town as they try and lock up their
playoff spot and Houston is in Jacksonville as they try and keep their
playoff hopes alive. Buffalo
hosts NY Jets and San Francisco gets a visit from the Eagles.
Chicago and Pittsburgh battle it out for the bottom of the
division.
Week
15 in the NFC Philadelphia and New Orleans are both on the road matching
up with San Francisco and NY Giants respectively in their battle for the
West. Detroit hosts
Cleveland and can clinch the division with a win and some help as
Atlanta hosts St. Louis and Seattle is in Carolina with both 2 games
back. Kansas City and Green
Bay go head to head with the winner taking the lead in the division race
and Jacksonville tries to keep their playoff hopes alive with Houston
coming to town. Arizona and
Tampa Bay match up trying to stay out of the basement in the conference
and Miami is off to Indianapolis.
The
playoff races are starting to really take shape and week 15 should
define things even further. Indianapolis has won the Central and is tied
with San Diego for the conference lead and top seed.
Dallas is a game back of San Diego but they match up and this
could either make things tighter or close out the division for the
Chargers depending on the winner.
Denver clinches the East with a win and likely the third seed.
Tennessee can clinch a playoff slot with a win and Houston loss
while Cleveland could clinch in theory but needs a lot of things to fall
their way. Houston is alive
a game back of 6th and technically Buffalo, NY Jets,
Minnesota and San Francisco are alive for the playoffs 2 games back and
even Pittsburgh, New England and Chicago haven’t been eliminated but
that is just a matter of time.
Week 15 will sort a lot of this out and eliminate a bunch of
teams very likely.
The
NFC is a bigger mess, though less so for who can get in, but more for
seeding. Philly and New
Orleans are in a dead heat in the West, first one to lose may be done
for the division, while Detroit is also tied at the top of the
conference and can win the division with a win and some help.
Kansas City and Green Bay match up on top of the Central with the
winner having the inside trade to the division title and the loser
fighting for 6th.
Atlanta and Seattle are tied for the 5th/6th slots
which Jacksonville and the Central loser sitting a game back with a
chance to get in. Carolina
and St. Louis are still alive, but a loss for either or wins by Seattle
and Atlanta will eliminate them.
Miami, NY Giants, Arizona and Tampa Bay are all done for this
season and playing out the string and trying to spoil someone elses fun.
