Did you make the playoffs?

**Buck** · 11-28-2011, 10:54 PM

Most leagues have 1 or 2 weeks left, but you could have clinched or have been eliminated by now.

I'm in 1 cash league and I just clinched tonight.

I needed Eli and Nicks to combine for 22.2 points in the 4th quarter and they got over 25.

6 teams make the playoffs, top 2 get a bye. I will be either seed 4, 5, or 6, but 5 is like 95% for sure of happening, and I'll be playing the same guy either way as he can only be #4 or #5.

Ok, what about you?

Drew Brees shut out any chance I had of getting into the playoffs tonight.

**Munson** · 11-29-2011, 12:34 AM

I clinched my spot last week in my Yahoo league. I'm in first place with a two game lead. I'm not sure how Yahoo does their playoffs. This is my first year playing FF.

**Shaid** · 11-29-2011, 12:54 AM

One more week before I find out. Very close battle but I'm cautiously optimistic.

Radar Chief · 11-29-2011, 08:19 AM

Sproles kept me in the hunt, but just barely.

The Iron Chief · 11-29-2011, 09:32 AM

I haven't clinched yet but I easily will next week.

My biggest problem is Will Aaron Rogers play thru to the end of the season.
I also had Shaub and that slots become a revolving slot for me depending on whos out there to pick up and what Defense their playing.
I have Kolb and Bradford on the bench atm to choose from.

But like I said how far will Rogers go.
Will the Pack care about winning out or not?
I think due to the Patriots superbowl loss there will be less focus on going unbeaten now and instead keeping your guys rested and healthy.
Of course I hope they go for it and decide Lets Do This!

**The Franchise** · 11-29-2011, 10:23 AM

Things were looking bad. I was down 60 points with only Eli Manning and Victor Cruz left.

Yeah.....you know what happened.

I should be in the playoffs now.

**OnTheWarpath15** · 11-29-2011, 10:51 AM

I've clinched a spot in the CP league, and am in a "win and in" position in my money league.

Scored enough points that I could potentially get in even if I lose, but would need some significant help.

**Nzoner** · 11-30-2011, 01:04 AM

Clinched in the CP League as well but my 2 cash leagues are yet to be decided as one doesn't have play-offs until NFL Play-Offs and the other leagues play-offs are still weeks 16/17

Actually....if I win this week....I'm in. If I lose....I'm out. This weekend is going to ****ing suck.

If I win, I'm in. There's a few miracle scenarios where I could get in with a loss due to point differential.

Got a good start from Shady McCoy last night, but I'm worried my WR2 spot is going to kill me. Megatron is the everyweek WR1, but I've been rotating Austin, Julio Jones and Manningham into WR2 based on matchups - I've managed to win the last two weeks taking a gooseegg from Jones last week and Manningham the week before.

Now it looks like there's a chance all three will miss Sunday.

I almost picked up Riley Cooper and played him, now I wish I had. 9 points is 9 points.

I ended up picking up Reggie Wayne as insurance, only because of how bad the Pats pass defense is. He's a huge wildcard with Orlovsky at Qb though.

Other consideration is picking up Burleson since their game will likely be a shootout, but I hate having multiple players from the same team - so boom or bust.

sedated · 11-30-2011, 10:51 AM

Been in the playoffs for a while after an amazing start. This is the best team I've ever had by far, so not winning it will would leave me shaking my head, wondering WTF I need to do to get a championsip.

But I did the same in the 90's with the Chiefs and the last 2 years with the Jayhawks, so story of my life I guess.

Skyy God · 11-30-2011, 03:00 PM

Yes, in 1 money league. This despite a myriad of mistakes. Drafted Wayne, a Redskins RB (Hightower), and the wrong Chargers RB (Tolbert). Dropped Mike Bush and Lynch early in the season.

My friend that picked up Bush and Lynch (and already owned Rodgers, Gronk, and Welker) is going to dominate the playoffs.

Shag · 11-30-2011, 03:39 PM

5-for-5 on making the playoffs this year. I'm in 1st in 4 leagues, and 2nd in the other. Been a good fantasy year so far... (*knock on wood*)

**Buck** · 11-30-2011, 05:32 PM

So I thought that I was like a 95% lock for 5th place, but the guy behind me has the same record, not 1 game back of me like I thought. I'm nearly 100 points ahead of him, so I thought even if I lost and he won it wouldn't matter, but there is still the chance that he wins and I don't and I would be 6th. Not that it really matters. I don't get a first round bye either way.

In our league it costs $20 to play (cheap league, but it's mostly for fun). 5th and 6th get $10 back. 3rd and 4th get $20 back. 2nd gets $60 and 1st gets $120.

I've never won a fantasy football league despite having played for about 12-13 years.
