I'm not inclined to listen to the moaning of folks who lost because they started Lamar Miller and he got hurt - he's Lamar Miller. But there were some pants shittings from great players.
As for Brees, he's so damn bad on the road this year that I've taken to actively rooting against the Saints. No team that is that miserable away from home should win a championship. They just suck outside of NO and Brees in particular is just worthless. Sadly, they'll never have to play a road game and hell, Atlanta's nearly a home venue for them.
I divested myself of Brees stock once I saw the 3 straight road games to end his season but still - what a fucking dog.
Didn’t even have those guys.
I rolled with Mahomes, David Johnson, Michel, DJ Moore, Smith-Schuster, Ertz and Trquan Smith.
Lucky for me....I lost AJ Green and James Conner right before the playoffs. [Reply]
I’ve played in 11 leagues total in my life, made playoffs 9 times.
Many times I had a better team and lost to someone in the playoffs that was seeded lower. Last year I was a 1 seed and lost to the 4. This past week the ball bounced my way and I won both semifinals as the 2 seed, now going to two championship games.
It can be frustrating but part of what makes it so fun is the lack of predictability. It’s what makes it feel more real than fantasy in terms of sport. [Reply]
Awful fantasy beat: Guy up by .01 points about to win his semifinal. Has Drew Brees. Brees kneels at the end of the game to run out clock to beat Panthers. Scored as lost yardage. Guy loses .10 points. Season over. (H/T @LacesOutShow) pic.twitter.com/726yIJlKv4
Well, my team is still alive despite a bad showing last week. I had Gronk, Edelman, Pat's D and Gostkowski all starting. I think that the 7 points for the D was the highest output I had. But the other guy had a bad week too. I went into Monday night with a 15 point lead. I had Newton left, he had Brees left. Who would have thought that those 2 wouldn't even combine for 15 points. Lol. Now, going into the championship, Newton is already out. Fortunately, my other QB's are Trubisky and Goff, so I should be good there. Running backs will be Gurley and N Chubb. James Conner and S Ware are hurt. Who knows if they'll play. But, I think my chances are good. Especially if Gurley and Goff have a big game. [Reply]

Better pick up John Kelly if you haven’t.
I did in one of my leagues, and my opponent has Gurley. Sure would be a shame if he couldn’t play.... :-) [Reply]
Q'finals in my dynasty league - lose by 10 points because of that crazy game ending lateral to Drake which accrued him 11 points. He hadn't done shit all day.
Semfinals - Up 20, Cam v. CMC, I lose by a point. I've already told the commish of that league, I won't be back. And he's a diehard, been running that league for years.
I'll stay in the dynasty because I feel obligated too. But, this year really killed FF for me.
Top scoring team in both leagues, lost championship to a 6-7 and 5-8 team. JFC
In the big $ league, any one of the following happens and I'd have won:
- Williams gets one of Aaron Rodgers two rushing TDs
- In OT if Rodgers (3rd) rushing TD hadn't been called back on a hold and he didn't throw a TD to Adams on the next play
- If Eli Manning's 1yd rushing TD went to Barkley
- If Ben doesn't go nuts in the 2nd half vs NO
- if Samuels doesn't catch a TD from Ben
- if Mahomes doesn't throw a TD to Damien Williams
- if Mahomes doesn't overthrow the Kelce TD
- if Mahomes throws a TD in the final possession instead of the Butker fg
- if Pettis doesn't get injured in the first half for SF and gets 15 more yards
- if Mike Evans doesn't catch a garbage TD with 1min left
fantasy football shouldnt be week to week matches, I had one year where I scored a lot of points every week but wound up losing more often then winning because my opponent would score a ton the week they faced me. Its a lot of luck involved. If they had a total points accrued throughout the season leagues i might get back into it. [Reply]
