2022 Complain about your fantasy team that no one cares about discussion
bukie replied to UMFan83's topic in Fantasy Sports
I'm curious how many people are in a similar spot as this, looking at the status of the game right now. It should be cancelled, even if it costs people thousands of dollars in fantasy winnings. In the championship of my league and I needed Josh Allen to score a fraction of a point to win, which he has 2.72 now. If the game gets wiped out, I'd lose by 0.03 points. So yeah I am in that situation. Not winning or losing any sizable sum of money either way though. Since both the Bills and Bengals are playing starters today, our league commish decided to just take the week 18 points for the players on those teams to decide the championship. -
He wasn't passing, wasn't putting in effort on defense, and was losing playing time as a result. The season has become a nightmare as there's no cohesiveness and eventually a shoe was going to drop.

The league has made a decision: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/35388199/bills-bengals-game-not-resume-amid-damar-hamlin-continued-recovery Here is a summary: - The Bills-Bengals game is canceled, no result will be kept. - Bengals win the AFC North as a result. However... - If the Ravens beat the Bengals and set up a Ravens-Bengals wild card game, the site will be decided by a coin flip. If they aren't matched up against each other, - If Buffalo and Kansas City win this week, a Bills-Chiefs championship game would be played at a neutral site. - If Buffalo and KC lose and the Bengals win, a Bengals/Bills/Chiefs championship game would be played at a neutral site.

NFL still figuring out what to do regarding Bills-Bengals and playoff positioning: https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2023/01/05/nfl-ponders-playoff-seeding-without-playing-bills-bengals/ Current ideas: 1. Play Bills-Bengals after week 18, alongside the NFC wildcard round, with the AFC wildcard round the following weekend, then eliminating the week between the conference championship and Super Bowl. Nobody likes this idea 2. Don't play the Bills-Bengals game, and play the AFC championship at a neutral site to be "fair" to the teams that didn't get a chance to earn their proper seed. 3. Temporarily expand the playoff field to 8 teams per conference so there isn't a huge advantage to the 1 seed, since the Bills and Bengals lost their chance at it. Do it in both leagues for competitive balance.

Chicago Bears Offseason Thread (the tank must payoff)
bukie replied to jersey cubs fan's topic in Other Sports
It's OK. Hit both lines hard with 6 new players on each. Probably overkill on OL, but wouldn't complain. The offensive weapons are largely unchanged. Doesn't have Velus on the roster, which he certainly will be. But he adds 3 rookies, the highly picked one from a non Power 5 (I also disagree with his assessment of Rice, not a prototype #1, I see more of a 2 or big slot) and two more on Day 3, who are unlikely to ever amount to much. The RBs are the same. The TE depth chart replaces a journeyman backup (Griffin) with a 7th round pick. That's putting all the eggs in the improved OL basket, and other than Seumalo, who has had a long injury history, those moves are otherwise middling. I think my least favorite thing about it is effectively counting on a 2nd round rookie WR to be your WR1. All the line improvement in the world isn't going to fix the passing offense if none of the WRs can get open or make catches. This is also why I'm in huge favor of either trading some draft capital for a real WR1 (like Adams from the Raiders), or snag any WR1 that ends up a cap casualty on another overburdened roster, since the FA crop is seriously weak (Julio Jones might be the best option and he's not a great option). -
Blackhawks have now lost 27 of 31 games, significantly the worst record in the league now, with only 2 teams within 11 points of them in the standings.
-
The game will happen in the week between the conference championships and Super Bowl, and will retroactively affect the playoff seeding, such that the number of points each team scores in earlier playoff weeks gets matched up with whatever their new opponent is afterwards.

Don't post it, who gives a horsefeathers what Lenny Dykstra things, and I'd rather you didn't spam this thread with horsefeathers.

18-24 hours isn’t making a difference. Call the game. Playing tomorrow isn’t making a difference with these guys mental states. If he lives and his condition improves, I could see them playing tomorrow. Anything else, I think they will play sometime in the near future. This is just stupid doubling down on stupid. "Near future?" When? They have games scheduled for next week and are both in the playoffs. You planning on having them play 3 times in 7 days next week?

18-24 hours isn’t making a difference. Call the game. Playing tomorrow isn’t making a difference with these guys mental states. Plus playing tomorrow gives them 4 days rest time for next week's game. I don't know why you can't see a cancellation or tie, there have been 2 ties this year already and it's not really hurting anything competition-wise to call it a tie.

Just call the game. Either call it a tie or cancel it. The option would cause the following: - Cincy would clinch the AFC north - Cincy would be eliminated from any chance at the 1 seed. Seems like a fair trade-off, don't make the teams come out and play the game.

Playing playoff spoiler for a division rival is never meaningless. Especially for the kneecap biting coach. I'm surprised they didn't stick with Jags-Titans, since that game definitely has meaning to both teams. However, there is a slim chance that Jacksonville would have a playoff spot wrapped up by Sunday evening regardless. Got to figure Seattle is a heavy favorite to win the afternoon game, though, which would eliminate Detroit ahead of the game.

Why do you want the starters out there next week?
-
Illinois remains the only defense in FBS that doesn't allow a 21-point half. Fun fact, that last play made this Illinois' biggest blowout loss of the season.
-
Illini defense continues to show up every game. Offense really struggling though without Chase Brown.

Currently in the championship, leading by 10 with our QBs left to play tomorrow, Burrow for me and Allen for my opponent. Winner gets 500. -
Man, i can't believe the Broncos lost in KC against the Chiefs.
-
The only thing more depressing than this Bears team will be the inevitable NFC championship between Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady.

Herbert with the rare blocking effort so bad it would have been better had he not been there. Both didn't affect his man and got pushed into Fields way.
-
Once again, Fields puts the ball exactly where it needs to be, receiver's hands, and the ball hits the ground.
-
The Bears defense is almost impressively bad.
-
Scenario I am rooting for at this point: Georgia loss, Utah loss tomorrow, which would mean every conference champion would have lost their bowl game for what I can only assume is the first time ever.
