    Divisional Playoffs Week Discussion Thread

    Entered a Draftkings Daily Fantasy team for work purposes (yeah, I know).

    free to enter this particular one for me, $10K first prize.

    never played fantasy FB before (!). salary cap, etc

    how pitiful is this team, and any scoring rules you need to check (holy crap is that complicated)
    I did spend the available money

    QB Joe Flacco BAL

    RB Marshawn Lynch SEA
    RB Eddie Lacy GBP
    RB Blount NEP

    WR Dez Bryant DAL
    WR Doug Baldwin SEA
    WR Hakeem Nicks IND

    TE Luke Willson SEA

    D Seattle SEA

    Yeah, that team looks pretty mediocre, but this is a GPP, so you need to take outlandish risks to win. But normally those who do enter many, many teams.

      got a kick out of Peyton Manning having "a record 11 playoff losses."

      yeah, what a terrible stat.

      look at his brother, Eli - he hasn't lost a playoff game since 2008!
      or Drew Stanton - has never lost one!

          plus if you get a bye, the same geniuses won't count that as a "W" in your postseason W-L record either (!)

            what a great play by Jermaine Kearse! Good thing Russell Wilson put it right on the money.

              Seahawks were 7-7 late 3rd qtr vs Rams in Week 17 with No 1 seed on line, too.
              A couple of excellent 3rd down throws by Wilson, but what else for an entire half?
              They need to get better.

                I hate Belichek, but love what he pulled off yesterday with the eligible/ineligible switches. Simply brilliant. And love to hear Harbaugh whine about how it wasn't fair, they didn't give us a chance to figure out who the eligible receivers were. Well duh dumbass, that's sort of the whole point. And Brady's jab in the postgame press conference: "Maybe those guys gotta study the rule book and figure it out."

                  well played by Belichick, but I expect that's another rules change coming next year (to go along with 'no leaping over the FG line,' which is a safety issue).

                  Twitter, and no, they didn't, but that's not Pats problem:

                  @ProFootballTalk "Deceptive" Patriots play was legal; question is whether officials gave Ravens proper notice

                    Accoring to Peter King, the ref DID give the proper announcment.

                      interesting. there seems to be a possible issue there (if it can't be heard, for instance), but not the Pats problem and not why Ravens lost game.
