Season Recap

Well in the NCFLL at least I managed to edge out Chad's squad in the last week of the season as Colston had a big Monday night. I finished the season .500 at 7-7, which may seem very average, but what really hurt is that I scored the 5th most points, but had the most points scored against me. So overall a good solid year where I had a couple of moves really work out like Romo and others like my RBs not workout too well.

As for the Neshannock Ballers League I managed to score the 4th most points out of 10 teams and not only did I not make the playoffs I couldn't even win any games as I went 4-10.

So I think both of my situations in each league is evidence enough for the fact that a change needs to be implemented in the form of at least playing more than one opponent each week. I don't think merely having a point system makes the games quite as exciting, whereas playing a couple of people a week would make each week twice as exciting because if you get blown out by one opponent you still might have a chance to watch against the other for example. Either way I can't wait for next year!

Good luck to the playoff teams!

Till Next Year...

The Gambler's Anonymous have officially been eliminated from both the NCFFL League and the Yahoo League. A crushing loss to the Average Joe's sealed the deal for the NCFFL. I had some RB issues this year as Willie Parker couldn't find the end zone all year and that trend continued last night. Additionally, Maroney was sidelined with injuries and watching Brady throw for 500 yards and 8 TDs a game. I think I had a pretty nice receiver core although Colston started out slow and Driver has seemed to become the second option in Green Bay behind Jennings. Romo was unbelievable all year and kept me in games, but I had 0 production from the TE spot all year. As for the Yahoo League although I think I am going to beat Joe this week, my issues pretty much arose from a beat up RB core which included Ronnie Brown who had a season ending injury, Shaun Alexander being out for about half the year, and rookie Marshawn Lynch who was putting up big numbers has been sidelined for a few weeks due to an ankle injury.

I definitely think first of all next year the NCFFL should move to Yahoo as it has much superior software. Additionally, I wouldn't mind the league to play on a point system where the top four points scorers in the league make the playoffs, and then the top two points scorers will meet in the championship. Yet, realistically this isn't too exciting week to week. So, at the very least I feel it is imperative to at least play two opponents each week in order lessen the luck involved.
