Is it weird that we aren't playing through week 16? I get not playing week 17 but I don't think I've ever even heard of a league that ended after week 15.

Factually correct, but I think ESPN default leagues start the playoffs in week 14 and play through week 17 using a two-week matchup format.

Our 10 team (2 division) league on myfantasyleague.com ends next week.

13 weeks works out to playing every team in your division twice, and every team in the other division once.

I think it sucks, but it's what the league voted for.

In my other league I just suffered the most ignominious, soul-crushing defeat in the history of fantasy football.  Change my mind.

I went into the Monday Night game with a 49.67 point lead.  My opponent had Lamar Jackson, Mark Ingram, and the Rams defense.  Scary?  Hell yeah.

Lamar (MVP Jackson) and Ingram scored 47.03 points until they were pulled in the 4th quarter.  At that point I was still up by 0.64 points.  I thought that maybe, just maybe I could make it to the end of the game without the inept Ram defense (who had only scored two points up to then) getting a point.

The sack of RG3 with 7:18 left sealed my fate, and I lost by 0.36 points.  I scored the second highest points this week (35% above league average) and needed a win to stay in the playoff hunt.  Tell me a sob story worse than this one and I'll buy you a beer to cry in.

Don’t sit studs. Lamar is mccaffery at the position. Talk is Lamar is legit 2nd round pick next year based on point difference.

Mccaffery is a league winner. As is Lamar. LOUISVILLE represent!

If you don’t make playoffs your season is over. Making moves interferes with people who aren’t done. I lock the non playoff teams in the leagues I run. I’m talking the week playoffs start.

It’s the norm for serious leagues. In my leagues, teams not in playoffs gets locked. Everybody prefers it that way. Keeps people who are done from interfering with those still playing.

I’ve been playing for ten years and have never even heard that. Hell, in my main league which is 12 years old there are repercussions for being last place (loser of the consolation bracket).

You mean to tell me if someone was mathematically eliminated from contention 2-3 weeks ago they shouldn’t have made any moves? Lol

No. Non playoff Teams get locked after conclusion of games last week of regular season, when the playoff matches are set.

I assure you it’s quite normal.  I listen to fantasy shows 2.5 hours a day, all day the same thing.

its official, the playoffs are set at this point.   It doesn't make sense for somebody in the losers bracket, to go pick up the best free agents.

there is 6 guys bidding for $1200, those guys get to pick up players.

if you are in the losers bracket, you are out of the $$$$.  you can set your lineup, just don't drop or pickup players.

Its this way in all $ leagues.   Its bull if you were to drop somebody so that your buddy can pick them up and win the $.

so next week when two more teams lose and are out, they also can no longer make moves.

IF it was a keeper league, and its not, all teams can pickup after the championship round.

I’ll respect the rules because you’re the commish but as a fiercely competitive person if I have a matchup I want to win it. Money or not. And if picking up players gives me a better opportunity to do so then I want to do it. Telling me I can’t pickup players because someone else might want to is just dumb. I’ve played in dozens of leagues and this is literally the first one I’ve ever been told I can’t pick up players. So, no, it’s not “this way in all money leagues”. Just gay ones.

We all are competitive people that is most likely why we are here, part of the journey in competition is also learning to lose. I know I struggle with losing at times and have to remind myself that I'm doing this for fun and to make new friends.

I lost the 3rd grade Geography Bee by not being able to identify the silhouette of the state of Idaho, I gave the answer Iowa which was wrong of course. The little know it all Samantha ended up winning the event, I threw a fit and to this day still have to live with the PTSD that came from that battle. In order to cope with it to this day I need to confront the loss head on with a T shirt that smacks me right in my loser of a face.

The easy answer here is to eliminate the consolation bracket.

If we do this again next year, let's do an NFL.com league with 100% straight NFL.com default settings. That way, if you've got a beef with the system you can take it up with Roger Goodell personally.

That’s crazy, I lost a third grade spelling bee by spelling potato with an “e” on the end. Potatoe. I even sounded it out. po-ta-toe.

I’m still pissed there’s not an e on the end. It’s my opinion whoever invented the spelling of potato is an idiot.

ARF “Standard” League is misleading, too. It’s not standard anymore.

I appreciate the T-shirt offer but you can save your money. I’ll take you up on that hug if we ever cross paths though.
