Im just happy I avoided relegation again this year
So in a nutshell:
(1) LeVeon 112.66 vs (2) Turtles 61.82
- Blowout win gives LeVeon #1 on the season
- Turtles needs a DeShaun loss to maintain 2nd place and 1st week playoff bye
(3) DeShaun 88.46 vs (11) Red Bulls 84.46
- R. Penny vs S. Diggs respectively on Monday night to decide this one
- 2nd place and a 1st week playoff bye on the line for DeShaun
(4) Extreme Frostbite 97.50 vs (12) Goon Squad 138.20
- Frostbite will fall to 5th or 6th depending on scoring
- Goons finish strong avoiding relegation
(5) Here's Johnny! 83.60 vs (6) The Frisky Hobbit 102.68
- Johnny needs C. Carson to bridge the almost 20 point gap tonight
- Winner slots into 4th
(7) Zorro's 96.60 vs (8) Chubb 80.52
- Zorro's has clinched and will slot into 5th or 6th depending on scoring
- Chubb's season has come to an end
(9) TD's N Beer! 80.78 vs (10) Sony Side Up 94.96
- Sony Side wins the matchup, but won't have enough points to squeeze into the playoffs
- Both seasons are complete
(13) Bettman Fumbles 104.84 vs (14) Powerplay QB 85.24
- Powerplay QB still has Wilson and Myers to go and could win the matchup...
- But it ultimately won't change the relegation results
Did I beat EB this morning?

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
Wow, that was a hell of game to watch as a fantasy owner with my playoff dreams on the line. Comes down to the very last few seconds. 102.68 to 101.00 final for the win. Carson looked so good. Couldn't have done it without my lucky Penney thieving significant touches. Crazy game. Feeling thankful and a little lucky.

Penny! Woohoo... I held the #1 waiver spot for the last 7-8 weeks... waiting on an RB to surface.
Does look like Carson/Penny is a split, but I'll take the catches out of the backfield and a key MNF comeback to earn me a BYE.
Almost had my first "highest scoring" season in this league (curses out to injuries to Tyreek, Julio, and Hooper this year)... but congrats to rataylor on that one.
Onto playoffs!!!
And the final regular season standings from Tier I:

*2 DeshaunShineBand 9-4-0 1449.56
...
*3 Tacklin Turtles 8-5-0 1435.34
*4 The Frisky Hobbit 8-5-0 1375.78
*5 Extreme Frostbite 7-6-0 1453.22
*6 Zorro's LongSnappers 7-6-0 1445.84
....
7 Here's Johnny! 7-6-0 1389.62
8 Sony Side Up 7-6-0 1141.56
9 My Endless Chubb 6-7-0 1410.96
10 TD's N Beer! 6-7-0 1271.36
11 Redbulls 5-8-0 1256.02
12 Goon Squad 4-9-0 1270.30

13 Powerplay QB 4-9-0 1174.96
14 Bettman Fumbles 3-10-0 1221.48
Interesting Notes:
i) From Yahoo!s projected standings... FOUR of the bottom SIX teams... finished TOP FOUR.
ii) Most deceiving of these was probably rataylor's "Extreme Frostbite" (I still don't get the name) since he didn't draft a K or DST.
iii) Nobody outscored their projection by more than 100... though DeShaun (1449 vs. 1354) was closest.
iv) My theory about the fantasy sports gods rewarding clever names proved true - the league's best moniker "That Le'veon Thielen" finished first, behind an EPIC season by the NE-DST.
v) Sad farewell to the brothers: Loch & InForAPenny. Slight headshake for Mr.Loch who made 1 "Move" this season!!!... but IFAP really grinded... and his 1221.48pts was only 3rd worst in league.
vi) Crazy that Sony Side Up finishes 8th, 7-6, with a league worst 1141.56pts FOR. That underscored his projection by more than 200pts.
vii) Closest finish to projection was probably Zorro, who lost a few tight matches. He finished 7-6 (projected 8-5) with 1446pts scored (projected 1410)
viii) None of the last SEVEN league champions made playoffs. Only inaugural (Y1) champ, Frisky Hobbit, is in the playoffs. Odds are high we'll have a new 1st time league champion.
Records into the "Record Book" from this year:
Margin of Defeat-Largest: Sony Side Up 48.32pts... when he lost... he got pummelled. (Former record was 45.21pts by a team called "Tiggles" in 2014)
Strength-of-Schedule-Hardest: Bettman Fumbles 115.76pts.
This destroys the previous hardest season where Tears of Joique (santo) faced 110.91pts on average in 2018.
Thanks to all for another fine year, good luck for those in playoffs!
Awesome recap!
Tagging onto the above mention, I'll vouch for the fact that the FF Gods rewarded the team name. I had the projected hardest schedule (which I think just means I hit the least bye weeks), but I ended up with the lowest points against in the league. Also very few injuries to deal with (definitely jinxed it), with only Newton falling off a cliff, Chris Thompson bruised up, and Thielen missing some time.
Best of luck in the playoffs guys!

Pengwin with a great recap holy cow. I have to go adjust mine now.
Also I believe pmorrow gets a spot in Tier 1 next year with his #1 seed.
Man, talk about limping into the playoffs with only 61 points in a key matchup!! That one hurts. Now to face a strong Zorro's team, I'm going to be lucky if I make it past this first round!
Congrats to EB on the season win and also to PEng for nabbing the bye.
Alright, now let's get at the game planning and make these playoffs interesting!
FWIW, "Extreme Frostbite" is an ode to making fun of the resident NFL clown Antonio Brown, which is what the diagnosis on his feet was.
I dunno. I think I imaged searched cartoon frostbite or iceman or something
Fantastic season. Thanks so much as always to P7 for organizing this league, it's always a blast. Good luck to thwe playoff teams! See you all in 2020.
