QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Dec 22, 2014 -> 11:31 AM) Here was my team in my most important league (2-QB, PPR) QB- Andrew Luck RB- Jamaal Charles (traded Ben Tate, Josh Gordon, Keenan Allen in week 4) RB - Le'Veon Bell WR-Calvin Johnson WR-Mike Evans TE-Travis Kelce/Delanie Walker QB?FLEX- Drew Brees (Traded Julius Thomas who was a 18th round keeper and Phillip Rivers to a guy who was out of it at the trade deadline) K- Who cares? (But it was Justin Tucker all year) Def- We start 2 IDP instead of a team defense, I had Worrliow and Timmons (top 10 guys) The lowest points I had scored all year was 130ish and I had the most points scored all year. I scored 106 points this week. The team I lost to, the 6th seed with the 5th most points in the league, scored 141 this week. So I lost. Fantasy playoffs are bulls***. QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 21, 2014 -> 10:51 PM) One of my leagues I finished in 6th with a 6-7 record, made the playoffs by 4 points. Just beat an 11-2 team to win the championship, lol. I have a 14 point lead in my other league facing Jeremy Hill, so that's a toss up. Lol, I won one league as the 6 seed, and that Jeremy Hill long touchdown lost me the title to the 6 seed in my other league. I guess it pays to be average during the regular season.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 23, 2014 -> 07:40 AM) So if you are Detroit, do you have Raiola appeal so he can play against the Packers for the NFC North title? Or do you let him sit so he is available for the playoff game? Edit: NM, his appeal is being heard today If it were MLB, his appeal hearing would be in Week 7 next season and it would be reduced to a fine, guaranteed.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Dec 22, 2014 -> 11:46 PM) Assuming Dallas beats Washington next week, I don't understand how Seattle could possibly be a better ranked seed. You're right about Arizona though, I forgot they'd be forced to be a wild card team regardless of record. Because it would be a three way tie between Dallas, Seattle, and Detroit/Packers, not head to head. Here are the rules my friend http://www.nfl.com/standings/tiebreakingprocedures

@JFOWLERESPN #Browns called Rex Grossman about joining team for one week but sides couldn't work out logistics. Grossman has whole family in for holiday LOL, Sexy Rexy would rather hang with the family than play for the Browns

What a major brawl at the end of the bowl game today. There had to be some major BYU honor code violations there. Link: http://deadspin.com/double-ot-miami-beach-...twee-1674275920

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Dec 22, 2014 -> 01:29 AM) Why wouldn't Dallas be ahead of Seattle? They both are 11-4, and Dallas beat Seattle this season. Arizona would hold the tiebreaker over Dallas though. Just guessing, but isn't Arizona likely to be the #1 seed, and then if Detroit wins next week, they are the #2 seed. If those 2 teams don't win, then I have no idea what will happen, but I *think* the best my Cowboys can do is the #2 seed, because whoever wins the Detroit/Packers game would get seeded better than Dallas. If Seattle wins next Sunday , they win the NFC West, so Arizona is #5 or #6 as a wild card team and doesn't matter in the tiebreaking. Dallas would be ahead of Seattle if only those two teams tied. However , barring a tie in Lambeau, either GB or Detroit will also be 12-4. Then it's a 3 way tie and you go to conference record, which Seattle wins.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 21, 2014 -> 08:55 PM) So Seattle is going to be the 1 seed in the NFC, good luck everyone else. I know they have lost in Seattle this year but I don't see that happening with how they're playing at the moment. GoSox05 said it last week, but that Bills loss is gonna really come back to haunt the Packers. Or the loss in NOLA to a Saints team that lost their next 5 in a row at home.

One of my leagues I finished in 6th with a 6-7 record, made the playoffs by 4 points. Just beat an 11-2 team to win the championship, lol. I have a 14 point lead in my other league facing Jeremy Hill, so that's a toss up.

Clausen QB rating vs Detroit: 77.0 Cutler QB rating vs Detroit : 76.7 Under 20 points both times

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 21, 2014 -> 04:40 PM) The wide receievers were just terrible for the Bears today. Wonder if they were trying to make a statement. #FreeJay

Awesome, the NFC South champion is guaranteed to only have 7 wins.

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Dec 21, 2014 -> 02:28 PM) No one is saying Clausen is a long term starter, but he's at least competent QB. He's capable of making quick passes under pass rushes, making accurate throws, and not making dumb turnovers like Cutler. All of that came in a short week of practice. Give the man some credit. EDIT: Oh yea, and I heard this Lion's D is pretty good. Yeah, the D is good and Clausen is not turning it over. But it's still the same old offense, unable to drive and score unless the LOLions help them out. It's more hating on Trestman not Clausen.

Is Jim Schwartz coaching the Lions today?

LOL at the Clausen love. If it wasn't for a muffed punt and a roughing the punter penalty, the Bears would be getting shut out.

If you can handle bad football, some of these bowl games are very entertaining.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Dec 20, 2014 -> 07:15 PM) MSU loses to Texas Southern. The big ten is truly awful this year. Makes you wonder if 10 or 11 Big Ten wins even gets Illinois in the tourney. Oh well, can never be upset on a day when they beat Miznoz. Rayvonte is the man.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 20, 2014 -> 01:25 PM) Wouldn't make much sense for the Cubs unless they were planning on trading Baez or Russell. ALL THE INFIELDERS!

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Dec 20, 2014 -> 01:14 PM) The faster you move you move on from Cutler, the faster you can move onto finding a new QB. It may not happen in a year or two, but as long as you actively seek one out, you'll find one. For some oddball reason, people have this connotation that Cutler is the ceiling when it comes to QBs and the Bears will never get one as good if not better than him. It's a loser mentality really. Well, they have never had a QB better than Cutler before, so it's hard to have faith in the franchise finding a better one.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 20, 2014 -> 12:02 PM) Bernie Pleskoff ‏@BerniePleskoff 5m5 minutes ago The #Indians have signed lefty reliever Scott Downs to a Minor League contract. 3 AL Central teams down, 2 to go

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Dec 20, 2014 -> 10:53 AM) He didn't say a huge package of picks, but will probably have to send a high pick with Cutler in which they get a lower round pick back. He was thinking something like Cutler and a 3rd. Honestly, Bears fans shouldn't be choosy on who they can offload Cutler on. You need to get rid of that contract as soon as possible. And the whole argument of, "Well, who will replace him..." is a very weak one. You've had QBs all worse than him over your franchise's existance and have made SBs as well as won one. With those crappier QBs they made all of two Super Bowls in their history, and one required an all time great defense. Your argument supports keeping Cutler.

QUOTE (JUSTgottaBELIEVE @ Dec 20, 2014 -> 10:51 AM) Alshon vs detroit or Emmanuel sanders @ Cincinnati? I think you gotta go Sanders, Clausen is just such a wild card for Alshon

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 19, 2014 -> 08:01 PM) Holy crap, this is the greatest thing ever. http://www.csnchicago.com/blackhawks/black...utely-hilarious Outstanding. Gotta pull out all stops to beat Zemgus Girgensons in the voting

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Dec 19, 2014 -> 08:56 PM) How does a guy like Hanigan, career .250 hitter with 25 HR's, have 38 IBB's in 550 games? I think that's one of the most astounding findings I came across in a while. He was batting 8th in the NL ahead of the pitcher.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 19, 2014 -> 05:33 PM) Surprised the Cubs had to give a 2 year deal to Lester's buddy David Ross, but they did for a 2 year/5 million dollar contract. Wellington Castillo is a pretty nice trade chip they have now. ALL THE EX-RED SOX!!!
