I actually thought before the game "Hell, I can live with a tie-game here", because although we're a game back, we now have no need to worry about the tiebreakers held over us (unless someone else ties too). Sure a W would have been nicer, but if Rodgers comes back this week then we're in the best position of anyone in the North to win the division.

 

This week has been a good week for Packers fans :P

Booooooo Packers!!! Booo tie game! Oh well, as my mom (a Packers fan said), at least they didn't lose another, which is about all I can say for the Vikings too, haha.

That was my thought exactly: better a tie than yet another loss. We are seriously struggling without Rodgers. Why oh why didn't they put Flynn in the game sooner than they did??

 

On the other hand, I have AP on my other fantasy team, so it wasn't all bad... >.>

I'm just gonna say it, my team is so stacked I have no idea who to play. :laugh:

 

I hope you guys are ready for some playoffs! And good luck to those fighting for a spot this week. No one is eliminated still!

I beat Charisma Cheeseheads and knocked him down a seed in the playoffs.   :D

 

And now I get to face him again in the playoffs.   :|

Charisma isn't a "him".  :D

But thanks for that win!  Moves me up to the top spot.  :cool:

 

btw, we have a lot of Wisconsinites in this league.

Oh, you live in Milwaukee too, cool.  Fantasy Football is the only thing keeping me interested in football this year with how the Packers season has been going.

Yeah, it's been a rough month for us.  I'm almost hoping that Rodgers doesn't come back anymore this year so that they can finish off the season with a bad record, fire a bunch of the useless coaches (definitely Capers), and then get some decent draft picks.

 

It's amazing that Rodgers can single-handedly make the entire team look good.

I'm so bitter this week. The 49ers defence crashed after 3 solid quarters, and a couple of my studs laid eggs (Beast Mode, I'm looking at you). Really annoying xD

 

As for Rodgers, I was kind of thinking the same think Astra, but we actually have a very decent chance of making the playoffs still. The Lions have 4 trap games to go, and if Rodgers comes back he only really has to beat Dallas and Detroit to get us in. If it weren't for that, I'd be seriously considering supporting us losing from here on out :P

Yeah that's going to be a hard call.  The playoffs are definitely still possible, but I'd hate for them to make it and then ignore all the problems they've had over the past 4 games.  If, in some miracle, they make the playoffs and do well, I don't think they'll fire all the people that should.

Final Regular Season Standings

1. *Astra.Xtreme 10-3, 1715 pts

2. *CharismasCheeseheads 9-4, 1786 pts

3. *TDs and Beer 8-4-1, 1814 pts

4. *Mumble's Minions 8-5, 1586 pts

5. *soonerfreak 7-6, 1698 pts

6. *bguy_1986 6-6-1, 1656 pts

8. *Redzone 2 Endzone 4-9, 1527 pts

9. aessap 4-9, 1473 pts

10. Bryant's Beaters 3-10, 1558 pts

 

Of course with our final week come our first two eliminations, aessap and Bryant's Beaters. Better luck next year, guys! Next week, 4 more.

 

I also want to recognize Astra.Xtreme for a 7 game win streak right now! Well done, hopefully it ends soon though.

 

Here's the recap to last weeks games and the matchups for week 1 of the playoffs!

 

Week 13 Results

TDs and Beer 193 vs soonerfreak 149

Bryant's Beaters 137 vs Astra.Xtreme 141

Mumble's Minions 134 vs bguy_1986 135

CharismasCheeseheads 140 vs Goon Squad 142

aessap 83 vs Redzone 2 Endzone 96

 

Week 1 Playoff Matchups

1 Astra.Xtreme 10-3 vs 8 Redzone 2 Endzone 4-9

 2 meetings so far this year, both have gone in Astra.Xtreme's favor (171-123, 149-125). Is the third time the charm for Redzone 2 Endzone to knock off our #1 seed?

4 Mumble's Minions 8-5 vs 5 soonerfreak 7-6

 This series is split 1-1 in the regular season with week 3 to soonerfreak, 146-107, and the week 12 to Mumble's Minions, 141-127.

3 TDs and Beer 8-4-1 vs 6 bguy_1986 6-6-1

The long awaited rematch and tie-breaker after week 6's 105-105 tie in the only meeting this year. This is the one that matters!

2 CharismasCheeseheads 9-4 vs 7 Goon Squad 5-8

 And finally a rematch of last week's 142-140 upset by Goon Squad. In week 4 CharismasCheeseheads won 142-138 though, making the series 1-1 for the year in two very close games.

I can't believe I lost in my money league.... THE PERSON I WAS PLAYING HAD TWO 0s AND A -1!!!!

 

I hate the snow. And Cam Newton...

 

Now Demarco better not go crazy and beat me here too! If I lose to a Sooner I'd be devastated! :laugh: Hopefully I'm safe though, but it's not over until it's over!

 

Edit: ALSHON!!!!!

I had a sneaky feeling Burleson might go off big this week and was really, really tempted to play him. That's one hell of a bullet dodged right there xD Hilarious match though, I really enjoyed watching it, although I couldn't stop thinking of how much fun you could have with the "I f-ing love cocaine" meme during it :P

Wait... Astra, you lost?! Killed by the snow just like my other league. I feel for you on that one.

 

#1 down, ladies and gentlemen.

 

Ready for round 3 Charisma??

Ouch! Yeah that was a dud at the worst time.  :pinch:

Also got knocked out of the playoffs in one of my money leagues, but still alive in the other bigger money league.  Top 4 of 12 made the playoffs, so I was lucky to sneak in.

Quick question for you guys - this is my first season playing Fantasy Football and I've made the playoffs in the only league I'm in, which I'm pretty chuffed about. How would you reckon my current matchup looks?

 

c158ca1523dded99daaf9667f594be202f9d4428

 

I know Lynch and VJax didn't practice this week, which has me worried as hell. I have Stacy to swap Lynch for if needed, but my replacement options for VJax if needed are Jennings, Crabtree and Burleson (leaning towards Jennings). My other bench slot is the Pats DST.

 

I'm also kinda annoyed that the other playoff matchup, one guy hasn't even set his lineup so he has RG3 in there and Welker, neither of whom are playing xD

    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.

      There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer

      State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
