How Are You Doing In Your Leagues?!

Though the league is sort of a joke with many casual fans.  One girl drafted her team based upon sexiness (in last place) and another drafted based on who had the best astrology signs to mesh with her QB Patrick Mahomes (in championship vs me).  

The lesson here?  Hell if i know.

In the league that matters, I drafted Burrow at the end of the 5th round and the next qb didn't go until the 8th round, so it sounds stupid, but since we're all from or in Cinci (with the exception of one Steelers fan), Burrow would likely have gone earlier.

I made the playoffs every single year and have won the total of one playoff game in that span. My team always takes a nosedive end of season, I usually do not know why. There's a saying in German, whoever has the damage does not need to take care about the mockery. Proven true.

This year, I tried to be counter-intuitive, putting Goodwin in instead of Higgins because Lockett was hurt and NE is an awful matchup and KC is a wonderful one. That didn't help either, it was dumb to begin with and Goodwin got hurt, but even Higgins' 22,8 points would not have helped. My QBs were Herbert and Tua, and Herbert did nothing while Tua decided that throwing a thousand late game interceptions is fun. My RBs were Dobbins and Jones - I traded away Jacobs for Jones for the playoffs, which was smart per se (Jacobs made 5,5 points against Pitt), but Jones also was hobbled. My bench did great. Foreman and Allgeier were sitting there, as was Brock Purdy who also easily outscored my starters. TE was Juwan Johnson (all my TEs got hurt before) who I got in the Jacobs trade, well that was nothing as well. And so on.

Then of course there's the Bengals Board league, easier to explain that one. Hurts brought me there, Hurts was hurt. Along with Kupp and Samuel that was too much to overcome. Especially since my backup was also Tua. Sad thing of course, I also have a semifinal loss streak of four in that one.

And theres the PnR league, where you are in. I lost decisively, but it was well-deserved and playoffs were already a miracle.

Yeah, that's harsh!

In the PnR league, I was projected to win by 26 in the playoffs and lost!
