Week 13 Recaps: The Playoff Field is Set

So being that I don't have a lot of time to write this post, I will spend most of the time on the important games.

Multiple Scoregasms 82
Show Me Them TD's  60

Jason and I have a one way ticket to the Shitter Bowl! Also I deserved this lose after making fun of Jason for always losing to me earlier in the year.

MeAndJulioDown ByTheSchoolYard 112
Baghdad Bombers 87

This game had little meaning since Josh already clinched a spot in the playoffs. However, this was a nice win for Louie to close the book on an otherwise bad fantasy season.

Rolling Meadows Mustangs 120
Smokin Blounts N Drinkin FORTEs 118

This game ended up not mattering as well since Zach had the number 1 spot locked down and Tom got no help in the other games. He needed Gunnar to lose in order to tie for that 4th and final playoff spot but that was going to be a stretch since the ArcticCats played the incompetent Red Hawks owned by Dr. Panda. However, a tip of the cap to Tom for a hell of an effort to try to sneak into the playoffs. So close... but here is the final losing picture post of the football season (the consolation bracket doesn't exist in my world).

If Gunnar wins the championship, every player on the team gets one.

Wisconsin ArcticCats 82
Kalamazoo Red Hawks 64

As I stated, this clinched a spot in the playoffs for Gunnar and eliminated Tom. Gunnar didn't have a particularly great week, but in order to beat the Red Hawks you don't need to. For Christ sake, Chris had six players score two points or less. The mind fucking part of this is that 5 of those players weren't hurt, they just suck! The amount of awfulness that is amassed on the Red Hawks roster is absolutely insane, yet somehow I finished a game behind him. WTF!!! Anyways, Gunnar has finally been starting Aaron Rodgers over Russell Wilson and it may just help lead him to a championship the way Rodgers is playing. Gunnar left Antonio Brown on the bench this week for some ungodly reason, but I'd imagine he will be in the starting lineup next week as Gunnar plays Josh in the Semi-finals.

I'm Ball Murray 98
Team Mustangs 83

This was practically a playoff game a week before the actual playoffs begin. Who would've thought halfway through the season that T would be the one that falls out of the playoffs? He was 6-3 after nine games and was in second only a few weeks ago, but that all changed after he went 1-3 down the stretch and choked away his playoff spot. So much for the brotherly championship battle deux. An interesting point about these two teams is that John beat T 70-69 back in week 5 which now looms large as a reason why John is in the playoffs and T isn't. In that week 5 matchup, T had a bad game from his running backs (totaling 4 points) and Calvin Johnson re-aggravated his injury early against the Bills and put up a goose egg. This week it was the quarterback position that is left to blame. Tony Romo scored a minuscule 3 points in his Thanksgiving day game and choked away a playoff opportunity like he is so used to doing, although this time it was for T's Mustangs and not the Cowboys (yet). It also hurt T that the recently fantasy stud Mike Evans had an off day, only scoring 4 points against the Bengals on Sunday. On the winning side John outscored T by a total of 36-7 when you combine the quarterback and kicker position.Take that and add a good performance from DeMarco Murray and you have yourself a playoff spot. John will have a tough matchup coming up in the first round of the playoffs against 12-1 defending champs, but anything can happen come playoff time.
