defence/STs
DST Colts 10 19 DST Bears



The NFL website has this one favoured heavily for the bears.... i dont see it that way.... the qb's points could be close, though my fear is with LDT and the bears defence. LDT could do some reps and then get pulled. However his desire to play and extend his records may push him on to another great score. At least SD still have to push on for homefield advantage. The bears however may play a second string defence... quite a number of starters are suffering with injuries, and having nothing to play for is a worry. The secondary backup didnt look to good in the second half against tampa...i hope they get it together and push for a starting place in the playoffs

Gore should post big numbers again. Lee Evans has a good rapport with Losman, and are still in the hunt, and galloway linked up well with the new starter rattay. TE cooley is hit and miss, while carney should get scoring opportunities with the NO offense looking to bounce back from last week

CY team could post big... and then again could completely falter... the weather in NY could affect Brees stats, though i think his rb's will do well especially westbrook. Steve smith needs a big game to keep Carolina in it though they have struggled with the qb getting him the ball. Crumpler will get a lot of recptions if vick decides to go sensible and not gungho to his ineffective wr's.. as for the colts well its anyones guess as to what defence will turn up

Could be a close one... could be a rout... who knows :!: :?:

For what its worth I'd go for the Brogie Bears - I don't think much of the Colts defence and Ron Dayne has run well the last 3 weeks.

I have 7 players in the early games to Brogies 5. Then he has 2 in the late games before sweating over Brian Westbrook on Xmas day.

I'll settle for being no worse than 20 points behind at the end of today to at least give myself a chance.

Ok i cheated and looked up the final scores. Carolina threw the ball 7 times? what is all that about? Has a team every thrown the ball fewer times in a game. That'll inspire the backup QB wont it. :evil:

The Colts gamble blew up in spectacular fashion, no sacks, no ints and no TDs. That said the Raiders DST only managed 10 and the Bills are on 3 so i hardly shot myself in the foot.

I think you have this one in the bag Brogie with Palmer, Gore and LDT still to come. Dont run up a cricket score and force me to amend that biggest victory margin record of yours in the hall of fame now will you. :cry:

Im sat here shaking my head in disbelief. That panthers game, my other WR scoring 0, 3 points for Crumpler, 2 for my DST its a minor miracle im even close.

If LDT doesnt pickup the pace (he surely will with Rivers playing badly again, SD will ask him to win it for them) it might yet be close. Still rather be sat in your shoes than mine.

Urgh, ive been crushed. My title reign is over. Now hoping the wife can bring at least one ring home for Christmas. I'll settle for the joint best regular season record with a team that was far from the best and a more than respectable defence. Everyone knows how hard it is to repeat championships. :wink:

My draft picks:

1. Portis
2. Westbrook
3. Smith
4. Moss :shock:
5. Warner :shock:

Makes you wonder how i made it this far doesnt it? Well done Brogie, i think we can pen you in as the winner of this altho fancy winning it all and being the only person to lose to the Pigeons. :?

Brogie's Bears won the The FISO 12 Championship by a score of 96 to 59 over CanaryYellow. Frank Gore led the team in scoring in the championship round and LaDainian Tomlinson led the team in scoring for the season. Congrats once again to Brogie's Bears on a terrific Fantasy football Season. Hope to see you all next year!

Nice one Brogie, the highest scoring team of the season won, so fair enough. Unlucky to the other playoff contenders, getting to the playoffs is a good achievement in its own right, you know. :wink:
See you all next year, hopefully.

Congrats to Brogie. Nice work 8-)

Ive had fun playing this game, and will be happy to play again. However if there is a genuine fan with real knowledge of the game who wishes to join then I will step aside. As someone who doesnt know the game at all, I would hate to occupy a roster space when there is a real fan out there who can add more.

Cant believe I made it all the way to the final week without entering the record books in a negative way... then blew it :lol:

Congratulations to Brogie.

Given the various earlier discussions about Fantasy NFL being decided by a large portion of luck (re head-to-head matchups, a short 16 game season and nasty propensity for star players to get injured) it's good to say that the strongest team won!

Roll on the playoff challenges for the Otters to regain some pride.

Who is going to set up the fiso 12 this year. was it CY last year? probably worthwhile seeing when people are available for the live draft even at this early stage

I presume it will be first call to those who participated last year., though it looks like we should have enough interest to have at least a couple of leagues again this year

I think its fair to ask last years 12 to get first refusal on the 12 spots since everyone has demonstrated that they play the game regularly and a number of us have played together for a number of years now.

If anyone else fancies a crack at fantasy NFL, AKNel setup a 2nd league last season, the empty slots were then filled by a few of us running a second team. We may even have enough for a 3rd league this year? Everyone is more than welcome, just there is a limit of 12 teams per league.

Im sure some people will be happy to make up numbers in running n extra team in any extra leagues if nescessary.

I wouldnt mind coming up with some better names for the various leagues we do setup tho without them sounding like one is superior to another. Fiso league 1, 2, 3 etc is not so good.

FISO AFC North, FISO NFC south might be a bit better maybe?

It's the highlight of my fantasy year...you can forget the rest...
:D

I would be happy to have a couple of teams in different leagues - I gave up my second space last year in a gesture of altruistic FISO brotherhood...

CY are you setting up the league again this year? And yes I think a rename sounds about right.

We never had to bother naming it before since we never had more than 12 people in it. Thinking about it, it was me who set it up, i remember emailing codes out.

I'm happy enough to do it again.

good idea on the league names cy. perhaps the two guaranteed leagues could be the FISO AFC Conference and the FISO NFC Conference. if their is interest in another league then it could be the FISO Rookie Conference or FISO Europa, with the winner and r/up getting elevated to the big leagues the following year
