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

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
    • My problem with these smart scopes is that IMO they're not really an entrance into astronomy, they're an entrance to looking at pretty(ish) pictures that you take by essentially pressing a button and letting the scope do the work. I still maintain that getting some binoculars or a solid dedicated telescope (which doesn't have to mean expensive) and actually spending time learning the night sky and using a telescope is a much better way to actually learn. But, granted, the learning curve is a bit steeper (as it tends to be).

    • The perception of Microsoft Edge is unfortunate as it's a world class browser. I'm not exaggerating when I say it's the best browser I've ever used with its feature set, speed, reliability and advanced security. Running the extension Ublock Origin is a must though to deal with advertising and trackers.
