MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER
The
bye week is upon us and the playoff races are in full swing at this
point with just 3 games left to play after the holiday.
Everyone feel free to enjoy the holiday and get back to football
this weekend if you want, but the files are there if you want to get
your game in early. Good
luck to those still in the playoff hunt (not many) and also to those
fighting it out for lottery positioning.
Just
3 weeks left in the regular season and things appear to be rounding out
in the playoff races with not a lot of mystery left, but here is a quick
rundown of where things are. In the AFC, Tennessee has won their
division and Houston needs a win or Denver loss the rest of the way to
lock up the East with both looking like they will own the bye with
Pittsburgh 2 games back. The
Steelers lead the Central by a game, but also hold the tiebreaker on the
Patriots, so really just need a win and a NE loss to lock it up.
Patriots are tied with Denver for the 4th seed, but
hold the tiebreaker and LA Chargers sit a game back in 6th
place, but have a game lead on Indianapolis, but the Colts do hold the
tiebreaker. Buffalo is the
only other team with any playoff hopes, but would need to get past Indy
AND catch LA Chargers. In
the NFC, Kansas City has won the Central and look to have a bye while
New Orleans leads the West by 2 games and a win over Carolina or another
win and Carolina loss wraps up the division and likely the second bye.
Jacksonville leads the tight East but with a pair of losses to NY
Giants as well as tough games with Seattle and Houston left could drop
all the way to the 6th seed if things don’t go their way.
Seattle needs win over the Jags and some help to move up and NY
Giants have to get by New Orleans to get the division win.
Carolina sits in the 4th seed right now, but again
could drop as far as 6th though they have locked up a playoff
spot. Tampa Bay is alive but will need to catch one of the teams in the
East while Green Bay has the slimmest of chances but with games left
against KC, Pittsburgh and TB they are likely heading to the golf
course.
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.
