PrintThe Pride of Detroit fantasy football playoffs are now underway, so I want to congratulate everybody who has made it this far, and I also want to thank everybody for participating. It was a lot of fun watching everything transpire in the four leagues.
I personally am glad to say that I have made it to the playoffs in all four POD leagues. I actually ended up finishing 8-5 in three of the leagues and 7-6 in the other. That overall performance gave me a total of one divisional title, one share of a divisional title (not technically recognized because tiebreakers settle who actually wins the division), and one first-round bye. My seeds aren't great in two of the leagues (I'm the 5th and 6th seed), but I'm just happy to be in the playoffs in every league. I barely managed to make it this far in the league where I finished 7-6, but everything went my way last week, allowing me to go to the playoffs.
Below is a rundown of some interesting things from each league.
Main League
Division Champions: Nate D., KDawg, & ahtrap
Best Record: KDawg (10-3)
Worst Record: CLF, JCruize, & lions_sucker (3-10)
Overflow League 1
Division Champions: Sean Yuille, thePROD1GY, & londonlion
Best Record: thePROD1GY (9-4)
Worst Record: BtotheLT (2-11)
Overflow League 2
Division Champions: ZWC11, kevough, & Scotty G
Best Record: ZWC11 & Scotty G (10-3)
Worst Record: beef99 (0-13) narrowly edged Wad (1-12)
Overflow League 3
Division Champions: seven.twentytwo (despite not even touching his team for the last 2 months), homerhft, & flypay
Best Record: seven.twentytwo, Sean Yuille, homerhft, flypay, & BennieBladesFan (8-5; woo parirty!)
Worst Record: otomelara & sgdbw90 (4-9)
Good luck to everybody in the playoffs and look for another update when the champions are crowned.

WTF?!
How does someone go 0-13 in FFB? Did just not set his line ups every week?

He's the person who drafted Culpepper and Stafford in the 3rd and 4th rounds
Guessing he didn’t take it very seriously.

i'll join next year Sean
I dont like to stretch myself out too thin in FFB. I play in 2 money leagues yearly, and all the research kinda gets monotonous. But i’d play next year, would like to take on KDawg. Looks like CLF struggeled this year..lol

:o)
Lady luck has been on my side all year Leapin Lion. In fact, I suspect that my luck will run out in the playoffs and I will not win the championship. However, I am happy to say that I made it to the final 4 in the POD main league (I have a first round bye). The fact of the matter is that I made some nice pick ups during the season….WRs that carried me when my running backs were struggling. Those same WRs have struggled over the last few weeks, and as such I only won 1 game of my last 3 and my point totals have been down. The bright spots of my team have been old man Favre (drafted in round 11), and Joseph Addai. I also have Adrian Peterson, but he has not had a big game in awhile now.
I will likely play again next year, however nothing is certain that we would even end up in the same league (unless Sean hand picks the leagues next year). I’d be happy to accept your challenge, and I am most certainly up to the task….:o)
favre has to be the pick up of the year for me
i claimed him as a fa in preseason…i also have only three players that i drafted still on my roster…the waiver wire has been key for me
well done kdawg!
I have Favre in one of the leagues im in this year
Took BPA and missed out on A. Rodgers, I wanted him in the 3rd round but he was chosen 1 pick before me.
So I drafted Favre in the last round, everyone made a joke that Favre was still there. so I took him on a whim and he has more than paid off.

If you need a tiebreaker in the survival league.....
JazzyBBP is the only one to correctly pick a Lions’ win as part of surviving this far. That’s gotta count for something. Grats to all in the final 4!
What? He can’t block a dead gopher? Humph, details.
Thanks Drew
Your team had some bad breaks…..for awhile there I thought you would be a contender. You were one of the teams that handed me a loss….:o) Better luck next year.
thanks
I feel like I snuck into the playoffs, despite winning the div…part of that is that “luck” stat they have when you look at your own schedule…I scraped a couple of wins when I had the 11th best performance of the week in a 12 team league.
Here’s hoping my squad’s put those showing far behind them, otherwise this playoff ride could be a short trip!

Ill blame
Forte and Jacobs, plus a few other big busts, And having a lot of points scored against me. But it was still pathetic and my worst league by far. Damn
Its a funny story actually.
I got killed...
Check out my Points against…. GEESH… everyteam had their best week against me… though it seems.
Ouch, you're right
1371 points again makes it tough to win many games.

Sucks that I didn't make the playoffs
Well, always next year.
2009 = The start of the Lions Golden Age (We hope).
Zack Follett: he will hurt your mind.
yall play the auto draft or do you find a time that works an draft live
Just Remember matt... what would Daunte do??
We did a live draft.....the main league was done at 10pm on a day that most of us agreed on.
Of course, anyone who doesn’t show auto drafts….and they get available players based on their own rankings.
Obviously we are a while away, but thoughts from the main league on making it a keeper league?
Or doing that in the future?

i'd love to be bumped up to the main league...
especially for a keeper league…
any thought on including or the ability to include defensive players too? i know that makes for a lengthy first draft…but those in the main league would have the knowledge…
I'm really now a fan of having defensive players
But anything’s possible lol

lions den beats Better Than Mayhew in overflow2
..lol i have idea though it might be alittle work. but keep the 1st 2nd place teams in each div. and move them into a league next yr PRIDE CARRY OVER it kinda weeds out the posers that dont keep up with there teams.
