Hmmm. For some reason this week's contest isn't showing in my recent contests. Probably because I missed it. Can some kind soul post the scores for this weekend, and I'll do the rest.

Cheers mate. I only got 111 in my other contest.

 

[Johnny75]

Bloody third. I am officially the most average at this game.

I've gone to absolute rat shit, clearly just a spawny first few weeks assisted significantly by being an ever present

 

[Johnny75]

Are we doing this throughout the play-offs too Bear?

 

[James]

I had a good week

 

[PuntsWolf]

May as well carry on through play offs. I’d like too anyway. Whether we want to continue same rankings or start a new one I’m not too fussed

 

[The Bear]

I guess so yeah. As the games get less and less though it might get trickier.

 

[Tony Towner]

Seems to makes sense for the first 2 play off weeks with 8 sides to pick from, a bit limiting after that I'd have thought.

It will be all about picking the right players in the latter stages and being able to get them in to your team, financially, so a new problem to solve

Texans getting ready to sack Bill O'Brien.

Texans getting ready to sack Bill O'Brien.

Given he's lost his leader on defense and his rookie QB who was beginning to look a star this year to injury on the outside that looks rough!

 

[Tony Towner]

After a terrible number of weeks, I've gone for new tactic and attempted to spread the money around more, rather than going for a star or two.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Falcons turnover resulting in giving 7 away in the final minute of the half chasing points ourselves. Seems to happen every week. As a result of another dropped pass as well.

Same shit every week

Same $#@! every week

After the way you lot beat us a couple weeks ago I think you're not out of this yet!

I don't expect anyone stayed up to watch the Eagles game, but it was a truly awful spectacle and an absolute guarantee that the play offs will be one and out, doesn't matter whether we are number one seed or not or who we play. One sloppy TD and letting Lynch run like it was 2012 again aside the D played OK, but Foles had a second half QB rating of 19.5. If's and buts, but with Wentz I think if would have been a Super Bowl.

The only thing worse than Foles was my inspired FF selection of Michael Crabtree. Not sure I've managed 0 points from an active player before.

I watched the Houston game and I can't think of many worse performances at QB than Yates put up yesterday. Terrible doesn't cover it.

Good day for the Saints Sunday. Watching Carolina on a Sunday and they look the business, I think they may well win it all.
