If that's the case, i think maybe Tecmo jumps you and Harley and Harley hangs on to #6. If it were H2H first, i believe Harley would be over you due to pts and you would get #6 due to your win against Tecmo in week 4.

I could be completely wrong though. 

Believe or not I had Mooney in the lineup all week and changed late to Meyers. Spent the rest of the time debating between chiefs and vikings kickers.

Would have been an extra 17 points and I would have won. As usual this season though I made the wrong choice.

If only I hadn't lost by .2 in back to back games a couple weeks ago 

Fingers crossed on some how sneaking in but I doubt it.

If coach loses and we are H2H then pts, i would get the #2 seed from beating Kermit in week 5. If it's points, then he would get #2. I think CC is behind the 8 ball on H2H and pts so him winning this week wouldn't matter in the long run. 

Tonights game won't have as much of an impact as how the tie breakers are set. Mikey boy or Bfine could tell us that info. 

Tie breakers are going to be the biggest factor at this point. 

My team is losing again this week. Niners ran in three tuds instead of just throwing one to Kittle for me   Fkrs! Plus I screwed up and let the heads talk me into pulling Cooks tonight and plugging in Austin for Pitt yesterday. 

I think Cooks will have a good game tonight; Austin did not, and Bucky went out after his first touch. So yeah, it was a rough week again for me.  Looks like I should probably back in the playoffs, if 6 teams get in. I was looking at it last night.

I'm kicking myself for dropping Charbonnet. I should have held on to him as a handcuff for KW3 and i woud have hit about 168 yesterday.

Top 4 have been locked in since last week. You're good. It's just where we're seeded.

You can let yourself off the hook on this one. Since Meyers scored 10, Mooney's 17 would have only been a +7, still leaving you 7 short.

Not me. I just set my lineups, then don't bother checking the score till Monday morning. I never let this game bother me...

 Dude, I was a miserable sob yesterday! Irving went down immediately and I had him in 2 leagues. Then pulling Cooks for Austin, which was fn stupid, nearly sent me over the edge...

It's almost like, no matter what someone chooses, it ends up being the wrong decision and we all think it only happens to us, where actually this game was invented to drive a person to the brink of insanity before pulling you back with one good week and a promise of renewed mental stability.

I sort of do the same thing. I generally don't score watch, but I do watch RZ to see who's scoring. I usually check scores just before the Sunday night game. 

Unfortunately, when I see one of my players get hurt early it usually affects my mood on Sundays.  Add in a bone headed move and viola! Pissed!

Well, i'm not gonna lie. The ellipsis was to note i was talking out of my ass. This game makes me want to blow up the planet sometimes.

The 17 was from Mooney and my kicker choice. Chiefs kicker would have been the other 10 if I had gone with him earlier in the week.

I swear steaming kickers this year has been miserable for me, Feel like I make the wrong choice on that one every time.

This is true.

Truly just a gambling mindset, feels terrible losing and you hit big once to bring you back just to set you up for another bad stretch.

I've made boneheads move on my roster over the long haul of the season rather than remaining patient with players. I have dropped good players too early. That's on me.

The PA column of the standings evokes my inner rage.

Not counting this week's game, I have 1551.68 points against me.

Now check out Kevin's team: 1386.14 points against.
Kermit: 1252.78 points against.

It makes sense they are first in their divisions based on just that isolated stat. Nobody scores points against them during the weekly matchup.

The only other team to have 1500+ PA is Ocho. 8 teams have less total PF than me so it's not like I put a garbage lineup together every week.

Ahhhh. Gotcha. I didn't even realize he had that many points, since it was such a low scoring game.

It's all luck. The reason i raged last week is because at one point i was sitting at 8-2 with a 2 game lead on everyone, yet i was the 2nd lowest scoring team in the entire league and hadn't scored more than 114 pts in any week. Then the luck ran out for 3 weeks. Here's the point diff and current seedings to show it doesn't really make too much sense to go by stats in fantasy. 

The top set is current seeding with records and +/- on pt diff. The bottom set is ranking in +/- with the current seeding in parenthesis. 

1-KNK      9-4 +253.44
2-ozzie     8-5 +119.08
3-HH       8-5 +128.3
4-Cry       8-5 -79.28
5-Harley  7-6 +1.98
6-Bob      7-6 +62.24
7-Tecmo   6-7 -110.34
8-CC        6-7 -18.8
9-Tiger    6-7 +19.58
10-KK     5-8 -61.88
11-Ocho  4-9 -140.62
12-Sho'   4-9 -173.90

KNK - 1 (1)
HH  - 2  (3)
ozz - 3   (2)
bob - 4   (6)

Har - 6    (5)

I'm totally not a numbers guy. Break it down for me. Am I justified in my crying or not?

Well, this is strictly point differential, not individual PF or PA. According to the bottom set, I would be the #9 seed and you would be #10, instead of 4 and 7 respectively, based on the cumulative +/- point differential. 

Like i said, it's all luck and who you match up with in any given week. I was the 2nd lowest PF through 10 weeks, yet i was 8-2 (bfine was the lowest scoring and he was 2-8) because i was getting lucky matchups with teams that were scoring less those weeks, where my likelihood of winning against the other teams would have been much lower in any of those given weeks.
