I. MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER

 

The AFC is almost set as Tennessee clinches a playoff slot, leaving a bunch of teams fighting for the final spot.  Philadelphia, New Orleans and Detroit all clinch playoff spots in the NFC and there are still 5 teams fighting for the final 3 spots. Be sure if you have trouble hooking up that you get a plan in place and contact me for a sub if needed.  Just two weeks left in the season!  Thanks for the great work guys!  I have updated files on the website for week 16, 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.

***There is a new game update available on the website, dated 10/10/14 *** 

 

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 

 

In the AFC, Indianapolis wins again over Miami and San Diego does the same in their divisional matchup with Dallas to take a 1 game lead in the West.  Denver beats Minnesota to clinch the East and Tennessee wins over New England to clinch a playoff slot.  Cleveland falls to Detroit but still hold on to the final playoff slot in the AFC with a 1 game lead over Buffalo who beat the NY Jets and Houston who fell to Jacksonville.  Pittsburgh beats Chicago in OT and San Francisco falls to Philadelphia.

In the NFC, Detroit beats Cleveland and Atlanta wins over St. Louis and the Lions win the division on tiebreakers.  Philadelphia beats San Francisco and New Orleans drops the NY Giants and they stay even in the West with the Eagles holding a slight lead in the tiebreakers but a couple of games to go.  Kansas City beats Green Bay to move a game ahead in the Central and Jacksonville beats Houston to keep their playoff hopes alive.  Arizona beats Tampa Bay who just about have the #1 draft lottery slot wrapped up and Seattle and Carolina go head to head with the Seahawks winning another barn burner.

 

Week 16 in the AFC San Diego heads to Cleveland and Dallas hosts Minnesota.  Indianapolis travels to St. Louis and Denver is in Houston.  Tennessee is on the road in San Francisco and New England has Buffalo in town.  Pittsburgh heads to Green Bay and Chicago hosts the NY Jets. 

 

Week 16 in the NFC Arizona is in Philadelphia and New Orleans hosts Carolina as they fight for the top West slot.  Detroit heads to Miami and Atlanta has the NY Giants in town.  Tampa Bay travels to Kansas City and Green Bay will try and keep pace with the Steelers in town.  Seattle hosts Jacksonville in a huge matchup for the final playoff slot in the NFC.  St. Louis matches up with Indianapolis

 

The playoff races have Indianapolis in first place, tied with San Diego on top of the conference.  Denver clinched East and likely has a lock on the 3rd seed and a home game in round 1.  Dallas hosts Minnesota as they try not to let the Chargers get away. Tennessee likely will clinch the 5th seed with a win over San Francisco.  Cleveland will try and beat San Diego as they look to wrap up the 5th seed with Buffalo and Houston sitting in 7th and needing a win to stay alive.  A bunch of teams at 4-10 who are still mathematically alive but likely drop out this week and New England and Chicago are likely done for the season.

 

The NFC is Philadelphia has Arizona in town and New Orleans has Carolina in town as they both fight for the West and the top seed.  Detroit is also in the conversation and need a win over Miami to keep pace.  Atlanta tries to lock down the 5th seed as they try for a win over the NY Giants.  Kansas City hosts Tampa Bay and Green Bay does the same for Pittsburgh as they try and lock down the Central.  Jacksonville wants the sixth seed and must win over Seattle who also need the win and they could move to the final slot.  Everyone else is on the outside looking in.
