I. MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER

 

Two weeks to go and the playoff races are taking shape.  Tennessee has clinched the AFC West and have all but locked up the top spot in the AFC.  New England is in and is close to winning the Central, while Cleveland and Denver are tied atop the East. Dallas sits in 5th, Indy in 6th and San Diego is alive for the final slot.  Detroit and New Orleans have won their division and first round byes, St. Louis leads KC and GB by a game in the Central and Arizona and Seattle look good for the playoffs and Atlanta and Philly are fighting it out for the final spot.  Game files are located on the website and are ready for week.  Please make sure you get started on game contacts asap, home teams should make contact by Wednesday and the game should be set up no later than Thursday of each week.

 

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 08/14/15 *** 

 

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 there is now only 1 as Tennessee falls from the ranks of the unbeaten as they stumble against the Minnesota Vikings while Cleveland gets the best of Denver and moves into a tie on top of the East.  Dallas falls to Buffalo who get their first win of the season and loses their chance to stay alive for the top spot in the West while San Diego falls to Green Bay and are a game back from the final playoff slot.  New England beats Pittsburgh and Indianapolis tops Chicago as the Pats stay two games up in the Central.  San Francisco falls to Kansas City and the NY Jets take down Houston to move ahead in the standings.

 

In the NFC Detroit continues to rolls with a convincing win over NY Giants and New Orleans clinches the West with a win over Atlanta.  Arizona beats Carolina and Seattle downs Miami with both teams solidifying playoff positions.  Kansas City just gets by San Francisco, St. Louis beats Philadelphia and Green Bay tops San Diego as the Central division sees no change.  Jacksonville beats Tampa Bay as they move into a tie near the bottom of the conference.

 

Coming up in the AFC Tennessee plays Dallas and can lock up the top spot in the conference with a win while Dallas can clinch a playoff spot.  New England heads to Atlanta and can clinch the division with a win or a Indianapolis loss to Pittsburgh while the Colts can clinch a playoff spot with a win and a Charger loss.  Cleveland hosts Minnesota and Denver has the NY Jets in town with both teams still alive to win the East and both clinch a playoff spot with a win as well.  San Diego has to beat Chicago but even a win could still leave them out of the playoffs if they don’t get some help.  Houston is in Tampa Bay and Buffalo is in Philadelphia as they try to make it two wins in a row.

Coming up in the NFC Detroit continues the quest for a perfect season in Jacksonville and New Orleans will try to keep pace with Carolina in town as the Panthers try and keep their slim playoff hopes alive.  Arizona locks up the playoffs with a win at Miami and Seattle will try and do the same with the Giants in town.  St. Louis could win the division with a win over Kansas City and a Green Bay loss to San Francisco or there could end up being a three way tie at the top going to the final week.  Atlanta needs a win with New England in town to stay in the playoff race and Philly does the same as they try and avoid an upset with Buffalo.  Tampa Bay hosts Houston as the Bucs look for win #3.
