As a member of the Lamar Jackson conference only conference winners making it is a horrible idea.

Seriously though, how difficult would it be to make separate playoffs for each of the positions? Two week playoff for the #1s for the championship, but also two week playoffs for the #2s, the #3s, etc, just to give us something to do?

I'm in favor of not having it be conference winners only, partly for self-interested reasons, but also because the more people involved the better.

Fork's idea is okay too, if that's possible.

So, would everyone be in favor of losing a week off the regular schedule for more playoffs?

yeah, that's fine. I think most people were expecting week 11 to be playoffs as it was.


(e: as much as I'd love week 11 to be a reg season game... Week 11's probably y'all's best chance to knock me out of the playoffs with 2 skill starters on bye and Jackson playing a goodish defense)

There are lots of missing positions, so let's get this shame train started early this week:

Jabro - Missing RB & WR
Quandry - Missing 2 WR, Def
Hotlanta Man - Missing Flex
Joey Freshwater - Missing K
Komet - Missing QB, K
Lee Majors - Missing WR, Def

Get your shits together!

Division 2 is going to have a fun finish. It's me vs Lamar Jackson for the division title next week. If I win Lamar will get the playoff slot, but if I lose and God King wins it'll come down to who scores more between me and God King (plus whatever our difference is going in to the week which shouldn't be much.

To be fair, Flowers puts up monster numbers every week. He's quietly one of the highest scoring fantasy QBs in the league. But yeah, 6 straight wins now. :getin:

That's way more up to Lamar Jackson than anything I do.

edit: Looking at it if I win there's a chance I get the overall #1 seed. If I lose there's a chance I don't even make the playoffs.

Wow, Ninja Bob and Piper both go off for over 300 points, though Piper looks like he's going to take this with what I believe to be the 6th highest all time total.

Speaking of all time totals, I am currently tied for 3rd highest all time with Taxes's 397 from last year. That's with my defense still playing, which may or may not result in more or less points.

It's looking like no top positions are changing hands, so the top 2 in each division going into this week will be the top 2 coming out of this week.

I'll take the #1 seed, Piper the #2, Taxes the #3. All is as it should be.

Now let's see how I can lose in the first round in the playoffs as a heavy favorite again this year.
