How much was the buy-in for this dynasty? I sent 20 a while ago but just realized maybe it was higher than that.

edit: gently caress it was $25. Sending an extra 5 bucks.

I think something is wonky with last season's stats because it is saying I was 2-12 with several games scoring 0 points total.

Should we pause the draft until we sort this out? Johnny Football is on the clock right now right?

I planned my draft with the idea that I had the 3rd position. :(

Is there a confirmation that something went wrong with the draft order or is there just confusion rampant?

I am ready to draft.

I would like to propose something regarding playoffs. Instead of having Week 15 be largely useless, I would like to propose we split into three playoffs. Ranks 1-4, 5-8, and 9-12 playing in their own playoffs for the respective picks within that tier.

This way everyone has a reason to give a poo poo about Week 15, we're less likely to forget, and it's more fun.

Thoughts?

I think being able to jump or being pushed down 3 spots is just too much. Sure, for the better teams in the 3 tiers that would be awesome: it is a chance for the 4th worse team to get a better draft spot. But I think it is too punishing to the really bad teams in each tier. The worst team in the league being pushed down to the #4 pick makes getting out of the hole that much harder.

It could also have the reverse effect by giving the owners less hope to build up a better team. If their access to the best players is even harder, it may cause them to abandon the league.

I feel like the current system we have is a good compromise between promoting not tanking and still fairly positioning bad teams to have better access to the newest crop of talent.

The tier system doesn't even prevent tanking to be honest. If you are ranked 8th in the league you might want to tank so that you get into the bottom tier(rank 9-12) and then beat the bad teams so that you can get the #1 team. It actually gives more incentive for mediocre teams to tank so that they can get the #1 pick.

Eddie Royal the best 8th round pick up? Alshon Jeffery and Kevin White both out.

Ray Rice, Montee Ball, and Eric Ebron as my 1st rounders the past 3 years is pretty much why my team blows. Here is to Amari Cooper being a bust as well.

Hey guys, I just made a big mistake trying to deal with IR. I was trying to drop Matt Cassell and accidently selected dropping Teddy Bridgewater. Can I get a reverse on that?

Re: Ridiculous division, yes it really makes me wish our system for choosing the last play-off team wasn't just who scored the most points.

Don't get me wrong, if we went to playoffs right now, I would be the one getting in. It is just not intuitive if a 3-7 team gets into the playoffs (your example). I don't care enough to argue it though.

My team decided to poo poo the bed today as well though(Amari Cooper with 0 catches and Greg Olsen who only played for 1 half) so we may end up with an entire division of 9-5 teams. It will depend on total points scored over the season to determine who gets the spot so it likely will still be B4BG in the playoffs.

edit: Looks like Newtonian Fluid will get the wild card spot so I am probably completely out now.

Gg in the finals! Great turnaround year for you, shows how much 1 year can make considering we both finished bottom 4 last year.

Yeah, I feel like I had a really good draft this year after blowing it on all the previous drafts. Getting Cooper, Diggs, and Hurns was very fortunate.
