Again, thanks to the league for their patience or lack of enthusiasm.
So the playoff field is all but set. Joe D will clinch the top spot with a victory this week. Even with two losses and two Peter victories, Peter would have to outscore Joe D on the total points to claim the number one seed. Mathematical: Yes. Realistic: No.
This leads us to the 4th seed, as both Peter and Tim, a newcomer to the playoffs, both have post season secured on their schedule.
BJ is clinging to dear live with an easy schedule, but Chuck has it even easier. Chuck clinches a playoff berth with a victory against Joe K this week. Yet a loss, and a BJ victory against Willie (which is a struggle itself) would lead to a showdown of mathematical probabilities again. A Chuck win versus BJ, or even a close loss, still grants him the post season. BJ would have to run the table, have Chuck lose this week, and beat Chuck by enough points to pass him in total points. Again. Mathematical: Yes. Realistic: HELL NO!!!
Willie, Joe K and Joe A are eliminated and licking their wounds getting ready for the G.I.T.
Next week, we will revisit head to head games of the playoff teams.
Until then, here are the stats.

With only 2 wks left in the regular season there is still a lot left to be played for amongst the playoff qualifiers. Although Bruce has locked down the #1 seed( most likely), the all important #2 and it's home field advantage pts is up for grabs:
ReplyDeleteTim vs Peter- Chuck is hanging around and paying close attention to this one. If Peter can knock off Tim he will have the head to head and be in the drivers seat for #2. Tim has both Peter and Chuck in total pts but I would have to go back to archives to see where Tim and Chuck stand in terms of head to head. It appears that nothing will be decided between these three until after the regular season has ended. the only thing certain is Bruce...the question remains as to whether he can finally close the deal and win that elusive first title??
Speaking of Bruce, his run has been quite impressive as of late. He has had some significant injuries of late but keeps churning out wins.
GFFL news and notes: The last time Schmabby drafted Andre Johnson was 2007...and he missed 7 games due to a knee injury. This year Johnson's hammy cost him 6 games. That relationship is just not meant to be. And Drew Brees is on pace, yet again, to break Dan Marinos single season yardage mark. However, he will miss the GFFL playoffs for the fourth straight year. I, for one, am glad to not have see him again this year!!
