Rankings Game

[femurov]

Done both.
Week 16 and 17.
Can personally say I lost a championship last season because of week 17.
Had at least 2 key players being benched in preparation for the playoffs.

In the league I have been referring to, we start 16 players, so my argument has always been, if one or 2 guys sit out and it makes that much difference to your team, your team wasn't that strong to begin with.

Shit, I'm in the one that goes 17 and the one that goes into Championship week...............sadly, I think the week 17 league will change in the next few years.....................and yes Milk, I think the other one should go all the way to the SB.

Yea that one pisses me off. Why be different and then be half assed

That hurts.
You do realize its me.
I don't draft crap teams.

That's what I tell the guys in my league. I didn't mean you. Like I said, we start 16 players.

I was undefeated during Brady's 50 TD season heading into week 17. He played...in a friggin monsoon, and I lost.
To me, having a guy out because its week 17, is no different than having a guy get injured in the first series, or pull a hammy during warmups.. Part of the game

And you normally get some sort of indication of who is going to play and who is going to sit and how long and all that in the week leading up to it. Like you said, it is very similar to dealing with injuries throughout the year.

if I was commish... I would have 2 week championships, 16 and 17... the way I see it, if it is a redraft, who cares if you have a totally different team one week to the other... it is not like you are keeping anyone...

That was one of my proposals. Not exactly like you said, but using a cumulative scoring system where you keep your total points throughout the playoffs. So, by the time you reach the week 17 'ship game, you already have your studs' points from weeks 15 and 16. One of the many brilliant ideas that was shot down.

We could all copy off of Tlance and he would still find a way to win via tie-breaker.

Have a feeling the rankings will start pouring in once the MBBRL drafts are complete next week

So, you don't think anyone in the 'brotherhood' will tip their hand. ....

Tlance and I have tipped our hand.
Of course, this doesn't mean rankings can't change from a couple of weeks ago.

Yea, I guess that is true. The cross you guys must bear for the fame and fortune of being experts. ....

Fortunately, no one pays attention to my rankings. Or they figure I'm crazy.

Now maybe no one is posting their rankings, but with all of the threads and drafts and players that get talked about and argued over, most here tip their hand more than they think.
