It would have been better for my team if the Pats won, but I did really enjoy watching them implode despite the fact that it might knock my team out of the playoffs. I try to see the bright side in everything so if the Pats won I would have been just as happy since it helps my team get to the playoffs, well almost just as happy. LoL
It probably cost the Pats the SB. They probably won't make the SB without HFA. Not a smart coaching move.
But the rumblings now are the Raven's will win the AFC North because of another coaching blunder, sitting Rothelisberger after he got dinged up until the Steelers were behind. After watching the Raiders give the Chiefs a run for their money I thought the Raven's might beat the Chiefs and the Steelers might lose to the Raiders or both, figuring the Raiders were better than everyone gave them credit for and/or the Chiefs weren't as good as everyone thought. The Ravens took the Chiefs to overtime and had a good shot to win in regulation but lost in overtime. The Steelers lost. So it looks like both the Raiders are better than everyone thought and the Chiefs aren't as good as everyone thought.
But Rothelisberger did just enough to get my fantasy team to advance to the league semi-finals. This is my first season in fantasy football so I have made a lot of rookie mistakes but I am a fast learner. If my team didn't lose Kareem Hunt, my number 1 draft pick, I likely would have won the hole thing. I face off with the number one seed in this week's semi-finals. I am the only one to beat the number 1 seed this year. I think I will win again, but the number 2 and 3 seeds face off and they are probably the two best teams in the league. If I win against the 1 seed again, I will most likely lose in the final. But a lot can happen between now and then. Maybe I will get some good opportunities to improve my team or get lucky. I had almost the last pick in the draft so I hop up the waiver priority list pretty fast. I don't understand what mix of things they do to determine waiver priority but it is obvious that draft order figures into it. They say it is a rolling waiver priority but it doesn't seem to be that simple.
I am a big underdog in the semis but my players are big overachievers with the right matchups so my starters should put up better numbers than predicted. The number 1 seed has one really steady huge performer. Most of the rest of the team is much weaker but solid players. But they look to put up good numbers this week. It will not be an easy win but I think my guys can do it. The league is pretty big so the pickings on free agency is pretty thin. I won this week by grabbing the players my opponent needed after James Conner was ruled out and picking up a defense I didn't need but would help my opponent. The moves were the difference between winning and losing a game that was much closer than it should have been because Big Ben sat out most of the second half. But I don't think that type of move will help me this week. My opponent's team doesn't seem to have any glaring needs. I have Andrew Luck on my bench, so if Big Ben sits or is questionable I am still good to go.
Good luck to everyone else that made the semi-finals with their fantasy teams.
