MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER
The
playoffs are here and we start off with the Wildcard Round.
Look below for some information on the matchups, but the files
are located on the main page of the website and you can get started
setting games up with them due on 1/11/16.
Good luck to all in your quest for the Super Bowl.
Please keep in touch as we will do some talking about awards here
shortly and I hope to post some information this week.
Game files are located on the website for the end of the regular
season. 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.
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 Tennessee closes out the season at 15-1 with a win at San Diego
who is eliminated from the playoffs.
Denver beats Houston but New England wins
over Chicago and clinches the second bye despite both teams 12-4
records. Cleveland loses to
the NY Giants while Indianapolis beats Jacksonville and Dallas takes
down San Francisco, but the Browns finish with the best conference
record and earn a home game in round 1, while Indy is just a game better
in the conference over Dallas for the 5th spot and the AFC
playoffs are set. Pittsburgh
beats Buffalo for their 4th win of the season while NY Jets
get a win against Philadelphia and Minnesota loses a tight one to
Arizona.
In
the NFC Detroit finishes their perfect season with a win over Atlanta
which knocks the Falcons from the playoffs.
New Orleans has the other bye and puts the exclamation point on
their 14-2 season over Tampa Bay.
St. Louis beats Green Bay to take the Central division outright
and Arizona locks up the 4th seed as they squeak by
Minnesota. Seattle beats
Carolina for the 5th seed and Philadelphia loses to the NY
Jets but still owns the tiebreaker over Atlanta for the final spot.
Kansas City beats Miami and NY Giants win big over Cleveland.
Jacksonville falls to Indianapolis to finish with just 2 wins.
Coming up in the AFC we have the Wildcard Round of the playoffs with a
couple of interesting matchups which should both be very competitive.
First up we have the Denver Broncos, the winners of the AFC east
hosting the Dallas Cowboys the final team into the playoffs but far from
an easy out for the home team.
The two teams did not meet in the regular season but combined for
23 wins between them with Denver putting up a ton of points and Dallas
playing some very good defense, so we will see who’s strength wins out
in this one. The other
matchups pits a pair of 11-5 clubs as the Cleveland Browns host the
Indianapolis Colts with Cleveland holding a regular season win, 17-14,
over the Colts. This one is
a matchup of two potent offenses with the Browns holding the slight edge
on defense and we will see if the Browns can complete the sweep or the
Colts can get some revenge and move on.
The Tennessee Titans and the New England Patriots both have the
bye and will wait to see who they get to match up with in the next
round.
Coming up in the NFC the Central Division winning St. Louis Rams will
host the Philadelphia Eagles.
Both teams end up at 9-7 on the season, but take very different
routes to get there as Philadelphia starts out at 5-0 on the but then
stumbles to a 9-7 final record and need an Atlanta loss in week 17 to
get into the playoffs.
Meanwhile the Rams start out 2-5 but then win 7 of their last 9
including a win over Philadelphia in week 15 and they take the division
title in the final two weeks with division wins over Kansas City and
Green Bay. The other matchup
has Seattle heading to Arizona in a matchup of teams that can put up
some points, but Seattle struggled to keep opponents off the board and
the Cards will try to make them pay for that deficiency.
