Mudguard Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I haven't done the math yet, but it looks like I barely avoided being jaxomed. Kept things tense for me even though it was clear early on that I was going to lose to Bronn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaime L Posted December 5, 2016 Author Share Posted December 5, 2016 11 hours ago, Pony Queen Jace said: Correct me if I'm wrong, but barring a literal miracle tomorrow I am mathematically eliminated right? Yeah, looks like you're eliminated because POTN won and unless the Colts put up like 70 tonight, you're not catching Mudguard in power rankings. Best hope now is to win another league. 10 hours ago, Bronn Stone said: i couldn't hold five tight ends and I knew that whichever one I cut would be the one to go off this week. All moot I suspect. POTN scored enough to where I was unlikely to win the tiebreaker regardless of my lineup. On well. Got it much closer that it was suggested I could a few weeks ago. Still look to be heading for byes in Westeros C and Dynasty and playoffs in Thunderdome and Westeros A. I might be back! 10 hours ago, Mudguard said: I haven't done the math yet, but it looks like I barely avoided being jaxomed. Kept things tense for me even though it was clear early on that I was going to lose to Bronn. The result ended up chalk - POTN got the playoff spot and Mudguard saved himself with power rankings as expected. But, man, didn't mean Sunday wasn't crazy tense for virtually everyone involved because it did look like POTN was going to lose for most of the day. And there were moments Bronn looked like he could leap 3 teams and make a darkhorse run at the playoff spot. Plus not sure how Week and WJ's matchup flipped on a dime in the late afternoon game but that was unexpected. So Week will finish with a monster point total for the season, but no bye to show for it. FFL remains the cruelest game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took everything I had and a great deal of luck while you could have easily won with a different start or two this week. I'm just happy to not get Jaxomed (yet)!

I need Luck to throw for five hundred yards and 10 TD's, but the only way that happens is if the Jets make it competitive, which would mean Matt Forte has a game and my defense suffers. I think I'm just gonna let it go and enjoy a hopeful Colts win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, if Luck throws a few more touchdowns, especially if another one goes to Moncrief, you could have the second highest score of the week, and I think that would put you ahead of me. You need about 25 more points, and there's still over 20 minutes left in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And regardless how this ends up don't think you didn't accomplish something this day. You knocked Groz to the 5th seed which while it doesn't change anything in terms of the playoffs it's quite the emotional blow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully expect Luck to be pulled after the next drive though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jace, Extat Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Oh, and the funniest part about how I'm gonna get kicked out of experts. I refused to go full homer and left Dwayne Allen on my bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need the vaunted NY rush defense to hold up here to even have a prayer. There's no way Luck comes back out after this drive, at which point I'll need Moncrief to have some long ass catches and a score from Tolzien.

If I had a chance, it died when the linebacker chose to dodge the ball that was fluttering towards his face in favor of hitting the runningback 5 yards away as you made your post.

Yeah, look's like you're right. Your team put up a really good fight. You, Bronn and I all finished with about the same power rankings. Hope you and Bronn can win your way back in the other leagues. Good luck to you both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronn Stone Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I am just glad I don't have to kill Sarah because she decided to start a Bears kicker playing behind a Matt Barkley offense in a blizzard over a Falcons kicker playing in a dome behind Matt Ryan.

Jaime L Posted December 6, 2016 Author Share Posted December 6, 2016 Final Power Rankings: 1) Horn Hill Ser Piggies - 76-41 1) Brax Tantivy - 76-41 3) Riverrun Cobra Kai - 75-42 4) Coldwater Behemoths - 69-48 5) Greywater Greenseers - 56-61 6) Dreadfort Direwolves - 55-62 7) The Night's Ponies - 54-63 8) Eyrie Mavericks - 53-64 9) Harlaw Scythes - 50-67 10) Dreadfort TraderApes - 21-96 Wow, couldn't have finished any closer for power rankings. If Jace had finished one spot higher in the power rankings IIRC we'd look to total points which Jace actually won the year. As it is Mudguard does just enough to survive for a second Experts season. Jaxoming Order: 1) Hugorfonics 2) Bronn 3) Jace You three are dead, I'm afraid, but you still have the chance to regain life. If there's only two qualified Experts entrants, Jace is safe. Unless of course Bronn saves himself with a league win which is very possible. I believe Jace can do the same. Playoff Matchups: (1) Coldwater Behemoths - Bye (2) Eyrie Mavericks - Bye (3) Brax Tantivy vs. (6) Greywater Greenseers. Winner plays Mya. (4) Riverrun Cobra Kai vs. (5) Horn Hill Ser Piggies. Winner plays WJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
