I. MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER

 

Thanks for another great regular season guys and thanks to all for getting this last set of games in on time. I will be working on playoff files and hope to have them out by Friday but I have the final regular season files available.  To those who are done for the regular season, please stick around a bit longer as I am going to send out emails about awards voting and ballot props sometime soon (hopefully next week) and then when that is all done the offseason can begin for many of you (though I will try and have the lottery done by the end of the playoffs for those interested).

 

In the AFC New England is the one seed and finished their undefeated season (or first ever 15-0-1 team).  Denver lost to Houston, but already had the #2 seed and despite getting a win that gets them to 12 for the season Pittsburgh ends up the #7 seed and has to travel to the Broncos.  LA Chargers beat Tennessee and are the #3 seed and they will host San Francisco in a division rematch while Indianapolis gets their own win and host Houston in the final Wild Card game.

 

In the NFC New Orleans wins and get the first round by.  Jacksonville falls to Indy in a close one but are still the #2 seed and will face the #7 seed LA Rams who beat Green Bay in week 17 to squeak into the playoffs.  Kansas City shuts out Miami and are the #3 seed and they will host #6 seed Seattle who finish up with a loss but still .500 for the season. Arizona gets their 13th win but it’s only good enough for the #4 seed and they host Carolina who beat Seattle in the final week to leave them the #5 seed.  

 

Please check your teams rosters and let me know if I missed any players who should be inactive OR if you have any injury subs who should not be there (especially for the non-playoff teams as all injury subs should be off your team). If you need a sub, please contact Jeff Shelton asap so he can try and get your hooked up with someone to get your game in.  Make sure you have the latest action update which is available on the website.  Game files are up for week 6, so make sure you go download them and start making contact for week 6 games. If you have any questions, now is the time, so please ask before we get too far into things. 

 

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 10/26/21 *** 

 

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 New England tops Chicago with a comeback win to finish an undefeated season and Denver falls to Houston (who clinch #5 seed) but still has the #2 seed.  LA Chargers beat Tennessee and are the #3 seed as the West division winner and Indianapolis gets by Jacksonville to set #4 and the final home game. San Francisco beats Dallas to finish up #6 and Pittsburgh downs Buffalo but after sitting in #4 all season fall to #7 after a couple of tough division losses.  NY Jets trounce the Eagles and Cleveland beats NY Giants.  Minnesota finishes their season at .500 with a loss to Arizona.

 

In the NFC New Orleans beats Tampa Bay to finish #1 while Jacksonville falls to Indy but are still the #2 seed.  Kansas City shuts out Miami and is the #3 seed as the Central winner while Arizona beats Minnesota to finish #4 and get a home game.  Carolina finishes #5 with a win over Seattle who sits #6 and LA Rams gets a huge win over Green Bay to sneak in as the #7 seed with a losing record.  Atlanta beats Detroit and NY Giants fall to Cleveland and look to be in line for the #1 lottery position.  Philadelphia falls to NY Jets to close out their regular season.
