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.

Well everyone, we've reached the end of the regular season. Here are the final regular season standings for 2013:

 

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

7. *Goon Squad 5-8, 1579 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

      Good point Anti-spoofing protection for cloud mailboxes Anti-spoofing technology in Microsoft 365 specifically examines forgery of the From header field (also known as the 5322.From address, From address, or P2 sender), because email clients show the From header value as the message sender. When Microsoft 365 has high confidence the From header is forged, the message is identified as spoofed. https://learn.microsoft.com/en...g-protection-spoofing-about
    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I sort of agree with you on that. I had a telescope - a real hefty thing, although only around 500CHF - that got me so fascinated about the stars and planets. I would stare for hours, amazed that I could see the craters of the moon or the rings of Saturn in "realtime" (quotations because, y'know, speed of light and whatnot). A friend of mine has a telescope like the one mentioned in the review, and the pictures are amazing to look at. But there is something missing for me. I may as well just go to NASA's website and look through their gallery.

      As opposed to catching bad press because it's the engine's fault? The engine has all the tools a dev needs to optimize their game, Epic isn't gonna hold their hand to make sure they use them. Also, Epic isn't forcing anyone to use Lumen, Nanite or super high resolution meshes and textures. Just because Nanite can render meshes with millions of polygons doesn't mean you should use it like that, in fact, Epic recommends you avoid doing that. Most of the stuttering can easily be fixed by cutting down on unique materials by using master materials, using instanced meshes, generating a PSO cache, pre-compiling every shader before loading the game and also managing what must be loaded and unloaded at runtime. It's up to the developer to set all that up properly.

      I think it depends on what you're looking for to do, and the time you have to spare. With my Dwarf 3, I easily spend 3-4 hour sessions; half an hour driving to an un-light polluted place, another half hour unpacking and setting up the smart scope + tripod for equatorial tracking, then 15 more minutes mucking around with settings and shooting calibration frames, spending a few hours shooting, merging with past photo sessions, etc. It's crazy how time flies and I often get home later than I expected. It's something I still need to set aside a good part of an evening to do, all in all. For one session, where you often need like four for best results when it comes to deep space objects. Even with a smart scope like Dwarf 3, regular non-astro photography is still way more approachable to people getting into photography. I find this is a time consuming niche no matter how I go about it. With practice, I can probably begin cutting time here but I think where smart scopes find their home is among people who love to shoot the night sky but don't have the spare time to go deep with the "navigator level" attunement to the night sky itself in addition to everything else. Having said this, _if_ you have even more time to spend on this hobby, it will probably be even more rewarding to do it more by hand and learn the skies and the details of how it all works.
