Re: 2012 frenzy playoffs
I'm an advocate for the home Field Advantage. Even though its against me right now the higher seeds deserve a slight advantage IMO. If I lose to Bobby next week because of it, so be it. Next time I better earn the higher seed myself to get the advantage. Just as a real NFL team does when they host a playoff game.

Re: 2012 frenzy playoffs
Well, the results of playoff week one are in.
In the FRENZY BOWL bracket... the #6 seeded Preds saved their best offensive production for the playoffs, putting up 200 points against the Burners. Heck, the Burners 139 points was the lowest (go figure!) of all 4 championship bracket teams. In the other quarter final game, the Swords recorded 148 points, AND STILL LOST! Yikes. Everyone in this bracket brought their A-game! So the Derby Car advance after their 159 output. The semifinals are set: #1 Bad Dogs will host the #6 Preds... and the #2 Mosquitoes will host the #4 Derby Car. In the TOILET BOWL bracket... the #6 Opihi, on a strong MNF performance from Aaron Hernandez, rack up 123 points (highest in the bottom bracket, but still would have lost to anyone in the champions bracket this week), and beat the Freedom (110) to move on to face the #1 seeded Scorpions. And in what can only be seen as "poetic justice," the #4 Greatshepski... who was on the losing end of a 7-point home field advantage playoff game, held on to beat defending champion (and #5 seed) Chunks, 104.6 to 102.75... thanks to his +7 point advantage. RB Arian Foster needed a 22 point performance under the bright lights of MNF, but came up 2 points short. He'd been averaging over 24 points per game on the season, and it looked like the Chunks would pull this win out. But with the Texans falling behind quickly & needing to pass, pass, pass... Foster saw only 15 carries, when he'd been toting the rock, on average, 23 times per game this season. Greatshepski will face the #2 seed Rabid Llamas in the semifinals. What will week 2 bring? Stay tuned! |

Re: 2012 frenzy playoffs
I would vote to abolish the whole toilet bowl concept or at least make it possible for teams that are part of it to bid on FA's. In theory I am playing for something but could not pick-up a decent (or as decent as the waiver wire would allow) QB. Oh, well good luck to Jim as it looks like A. Hernandez scored more than enough to carry you forward.

Re: 2012 frenzy playoffs
I agree Matt...it was instilled to try to discourage people from tanking...I really do not think, with the group we have right now, that tanking is even a consideration. It does penalize teams who have been hit hard with injuries, and find it hard to throw up a decent lineup each week.
pretty sure Bobby would agree to abolish it also....

Re: 2012 frenzy playoffs
I'm all for abolishing it. Last year I felt like I got penalized and the only thing I did wrong was be really bad at FF.

Re: 2012 frenzy playoffs
Agreed that it was set up to prevent teams from tanking. A few years back, we had some VERY INACTIVE owners, and it was a challenge to see if they were taking it seriously. That's definitely not the case.
I love everything fantasy football related... so HATE not being in some kind of competition during the "postseason." I'm fine with eliminating the toilet bowl for draft purposes, but would love to allow us "bottom feeder" teams to field a few more weeks of competition - just for fun! |

Re: 2012 frenzy playoffs
Definitely for the LOSER.
Maybe they'd have to put "FRENZY LOSER 2012" in their signature for the next year! Who'd be the suckiest team for the year? Great concept. Of course, I'd be in the running this year... if we were doing it. |

Re: 2012 frenzy playoffs

From best to suckiest in one year!!

Re: 2012 frenzy playoffs
The word suckiest made me think of this exchange from the Simpson's
Homer: Yeah, Moe, that team sure did suck last night. They just plain sucked! I've seen teams suck before, but they were the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked. Marge: Homer! Watch your mouth! |

Re: 2012 frenzy playoffs
Nice work Nate. Good Luck in the Championship Matchup.
Overall, a very disappointing end to the Mosquitoes season. Danario and Charles both disappear when it matters most. Charles goes from 5 straight games of over 100 yds and 20+ touches to 28 yds on 12 touches. Danario....ZERO, wow. He puts up good numbers against fairly good defenses the last 4 weeks (Broncos, Ravens, Bengals, Steelers) then throws out a goose-egg against the Panthers?? Because of the home field advantage...I basically came up 3 pts short....oh well. That's how it works out sometimes. |

Congrats Bobby!
Congrats to Bobby and his Bad Dogs. In the end, it was a close game, but it wasn't meant to be for my Preds.
I could have and should have won this week, particularly since on Sunday at noon I had made the decision to input Blair Walsh into my starting lineup over Tynes, but when it came time to hit submit I talked myself out of it because I felt I was over-thinking it. Who knew the Giants would be shut out and Walsh would have a career week. Sucked leaving his 26+ points on the bench, especially since I talked myself out of putting him in the lineup, but it is what it is! It wasn't meant to be. I am at least proud that I saved my 2 best weeks of the season for the playoffs and certainly gave you a run for your money. I look forward to the 2013 season. Best of luck to both the Dogs and Derby Car's in the Frenzy Bowl (though I have to admit that I'll be pulling for Nate since he's an original founding member of the league and has certainly paid his dues over the years)! Happy Holidays to everyone, I'll see you in the spring (assuming this Mayan calendar thing is a farce...)

Re: 2012 frenzy playoffs
Thanks Mike, well except for the pulling for Nate part. At least I have Burt in my corner and I'll try my best to save him some shipping cost.
I never believed in the Mayan thing, now I'm not so sure. A UFO was spotted in Denver recently |

Re: 2012 frenzy playoffs
Thanks Mike for backing me and I agree it is my time. I need all I can get out of my team because my games against the Dogs this year have not gone my way. I am ready for that trophy, sorry Burt but shipping costs may be high to Indiana.
It was a great game, Scott. I was very scared of that Charles vs Raiders matchup with the way he had been running lately. |

Re: 2012 frenzy playoffs
Nate, Looks like you have the advantage in this one as the bookies have installed the Derby Cars as a 10.2 point favorite. The Cam Newton vs Raiders matchup could be problematic for the underDogs.
Good luck and may both teams have injury free games. |
