MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER
The
playoffs are here and some interesting matchups are on tap for the Wil
Card round. Rematches seem
to be the order of the day as we have some divisional rivals facing off
as they try and move on to round 2.
In the AFC we have Denver heading to Buffalo while New England
hosts Tennessee in a battle of teams with 13 or more wins each.
In the NFC St. Louis hosts Kansas City and Detroit heads to
Carolina for their first round matchups.
Game files are located on the website for the first round of the
playoffs, please get the files and go ahead and get your games set up
though there is plenty of time to get the games in as they are due
Monday, January 9th at 10 pm eastern.
I am
now accepting ballot props per the separate email I have sent out, feel
free to discuss anything you would like over the list and then provide
me with fully fleshed out proposals by Sunday, January 15th
so I can do a preliminary ballot and we can try and have voting complete
by the end of the playoffs. Remember as always, if you do not plan to
return next season I would ask that you please refrain from the ballot
discussion. Thanks.
Also accepting awards nominations now,
please head over to the survey and help out if you have some time.
These are not mandatory (the final vote is though) but if you
want to be a part of it, feel free to register your nominations -

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.

II.
News from Around the League
In
the AFC not a lot of surprises as Indianapolis downs Buffalo to take the
top spot in the conference while Dallas beats San Francisco to win the
West and lock up the #2 seed.
Denver can’t takes advantage of the Buffalo loss as they fall
badly to Seattle and the Bills get the East and the #3 seed and the
Broncos earn another trip to Buffalo for a wild card game. New England
beats Chicago to get the last wild card home game.
Tennessee finishes 13-3 with a victory at Minnesota and they are
relegated to the #5 seed and a trip to New England.
Pittsburgh falls at Detroit and San Diego does the same at Tampa
Bay as both stumble to the end of the season.
Cleveland wins over Houston and NY Jets just get by Arizona.
Coming up in the NFC the Wild Card round begins with New Orleans and
Seattle earning first round byes.
St. Louis wins the #3 seed based upon a better common opponent
record over Kansas City and the Chiefs get an immediate shot to show the
standings wrong in the round 1 matchup.
Carolina is the #4 seed and will host Detroit who ended up tied
with Kansas City but owned the tiebreaker based upon a week 2 win over
the Chiefs.
