MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER
Three
quarters of the season in the books now and we have just 4 games left to
go as the playoff races are just heating up.
After this week we will have our bye week and enjoy Thanksgiving
and then be down to the final 3 games of the season, so please try and
get everything in on time this week so we can enjoy that holiday with
our families.
With
4 games left to go the playoff races are shaped up pretty well in both
conferences with really just minor races for the final playoff slot and
playoff positioning really all that is left at this point.
In the AFC Houston can all but lock up the East with a win and do
so with a Denver loss.
Tennessee is in the same position out West with a win over LA Chargers,
but a Chargers win tightens things up heading to the final 3 games.
New England can stay on top of the Central with a win over the
Rams and Pittsburgh will need to beat a tough Indy team to keep pace.
Indy really needs the win as a loss could drop them 2 games back in the
wild card with 3 to play.
Everyone else has slim to no chance at even the 6th playoff
spot. In the NFC Kansas City
has locked up the Central already and likely a top 2 playoff seed.
New Orleans leads the West by 2 games and holds the tiebreaker on
Carolina with both teams playing lower teams in the standings this week.
The East is a mess with 3 teams within a game of the top, but all
3 have a 2 game lead on Tampa Bay for the final playoff spot.
A bunch of teams have 5 wins and outside chances at playoffs but
would need a lot to go right to get there.
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.
