Bell vs Mixon MNF...
 

I would guess our game comes down to the Monday nighter...Bell via trade versus Mixon via draft...I'm just hoping for a chance...

Looking at my team and I just don't see a long winning streak or striking fear in any opponent...*sigh* bad defensive matchups and no real TE to speak of...should have bid a little more on Walker I guess...my guys really need a rest...do they have one more in them...is the coach thinking too much...can I really start 2 WR versus my defense??? UGH!!!!

Re: Bell vs Mixon MNF...
 

That does suck with your DEF #2 against pass going against 2 WRs. Guess that DEF has to score a couple TDs and give up a few for max value.

And yes you should have bid more on Walker as i was asleep at the wheel on that one.

Re: Bell vs Mixon MNF...
 

I wish I had a way to keep him. I had to dump him to make room for 3 WRs. Tried to trade for a 3rd round pick with no luck

Re: Bell vs Mixon MNF...
 

I seem to like giving up the same 3rd rounder multiple times...lol

Re: Bell vs Mixon MNF...
 

These "experts" almost have me starting ATL defense at home vs Vikes...now me being a Min fan don't like it one bit...plus Emerald has Diggs going...hmmmm...I'll have to look at that for the 100th time....and now Witten killing me....

Re: Bell vs Mixon MNF...
 

Did anyone hear me scream YES!!!!! and pump my fist in the air on that Witten TD??? Ok, long way to go, but at least no zero at TE...lol

Re: Bell vs Mixon MNF...
 

A lot of those "experts" are really bad at their jobs. How many people have jobs where they can be wrong that much and still have jobs. Just think how much $ psychics could make if they were really good at their job.

Re: Bell vs Mixon MNF...
 

Good stuff...enjoy your writeups Chuck.

Re: Bell vs Mixon MNF...
 

Pretty sure Bell is NOT 25 points better than Mixon....sheesh, uh boy....

Re: Bell vs Mixon MNF...
 

Pretty sure Martavis is NOT 10 points better than AJ Green either!

Re: Bell vs Mixon MNF...
 

On any given Sunday...

Re: Bell vs Mixon MNF...
 

Or Monday. Especially if AB is indeed out.

Re: Bell vs Mixon MNF...
 

That's my only hope... the "Stillers" should rest their all-star stud WR this week. It's for the best.

Re: Bell vs Mixon MNF...
 

Oh man. Just noticed that Freedom had Abdullah in starting lineup instead of Freeman. Ouch!

Re: Bell vs Mixon MNF...
 

Speaking of starting lineups, Swords had WR Seth Roberts via note and he had 7.1 points. Could make a difference in All play wins for someone and playoff implications.

Re: Bell vs Mixon MNF...
 

Preds had no choice but to rest him, couldn't risk a 0. Hope the Steelers do the same.

Re: Bell vs Mixon MNF...
 

With Baltimore breathing down their necks? If Brown can walk, he'll play...no way they rest him unless its serious enough that playing could aggravate it to the point of having to sit out multiple games...

Re: Bell vs Mixon MNF...
 

Re: Bell vs Mixon MNF...
 

Hope they use him for nothing more than a decoy. They also dressed all of their WRs which is unusual.

Re: Bell vs Mixon MNF...
 

Well... doesn’t look like this is going to be “any given Monday” for Bryant.

Re: Bell vs Mixon MNF...
 

Wowowowowowow

Re: Bell vs Mixon MNF...
 

So Cards lose the division by around a half a point. Pretty much same as the Preds who lost 2 games by under 1, including one against the Bees who won the division by a game.

Sucks doesn’t it Chuck!

Tie-Breakers are going to be a bear for spots 4-6.

Swords somehow find there way defending their title as the top seed despite a losing All Play record. Amazing matchup luck.

Bees are 2 seed with the Cards loss. Rookie Ref roosters win the West and the 3 seed.

4 and 5 have. 3 way tie between Cards, Dogs and Preds

Not sure how the tie is broken. Cards have total points lead so I think they’re 4 seed. Preds have next highest points but lost Ron dogs H2H, not sure what precedence of tie-breaking order is in place for the 5 seed under a 3 way tie.

If Dogs are given 5 seed Preds are the 6 seed with 89 All Play wins. If Preds at ethe 5 seed than Dogs with 74 All play wins barely sneak in as the 6 seed.

The big question is do we sort the 3 ties teams into seeds 4 and 5 first based on total points, or do we sort for the 4 seed, and then start over for the 5 seed with the 2 remaining teams based on H2H. Sorting over gives the Dogs the 5 seed. Sorting 4 and 5 as one tie breaker gives the the Preds the 5 seed.

Commish Jim needs to guide us on how to apply the 4-5 tiebreakers. I’m honestly not sure how to proceed.

Re: Bell vs Mixon MNF...
 

Would it help to look at the H2H2H records of the 3 tied teams?

Re: Bell vs Mixon MNF...
 

I think you sort for 4, then sort for 5, then sort for all play

Re: Bell vs Mixon MNF...
 

Everyone is 1-1. Preds beat Cards lost to Dogs. Cards beat Dogs lost to Preds, Dogs beat Preds, lost to Cards.

Re: Bell vs Mixon MNF...
 

If all are tied H2H, then #4 would be total points leader between the three teams. For #5 go back to H2H, division record and total points between other two teams. Sounds like #6 would then be the remaining team unless another team has a better all-play record.

Re: Bell vs Mixon MNF...
 

That sounds like the plan.

Re: Bell vs Mixon MNF...
 

Well the rules say this:

12C. Qualifying/Seeding Tie-Breaker

The Leagues tie-breaking system for play-off qualification and seeding is as follows:

1. Head-to-head record
2. Division Record (between teams from the same division)
3. Total Overall Points
4. Coin Toss

Maybe this was covered in the discussion and its to confusing for me to recognize it.

Re: Bell vs Mixon MNF...
 

Yes. I believe they’re consistent.

Re: Bell vs Mixon MNF...
 

So

1 Swords
2 Killer Bees
3 Red Roosters
4 Cards
5 Dogs
6 Preds

Week 14
6 Preds at 3 Red Roosters
5 Dogs at 4 Cards

1 Swords and 2 Killer Bees on Bye
