Week 10 Recap

Good news: I have a new job!

Bad news: that means I don't have the time to make these long GIFcap posts anymore. I'll try and add to it throughout the week, but for now, a top 10 GIFs of the week will have to do.

Now that teams are officially eliminated, I want to remind you that I will be monitoring add/drops and trades to ensure studs aren’t moved for nothing/dropped onto waivers; I have seen nothing fishy so far and hope that trend continues! There will be no trade deadline, so yipee!

Here’s the playoff situation:

CLINCHED: Miley’s VMA Foam Finger (9-1)
While Aziz lost for the first time this week, he clinched a playoff spot. He’s also all but certain to lock up the #1 overall seed; if Aziz wins two games, he clinches the first overall seed, and Peter or Kyle would either have to go 3-0 with Aziz going 1-2 against the #4, 9 and 10 scorers in the league this year. Hiiiiiighly unlikely.

95+% CHANCE: Manti Te’o’s Fake Girlfriend (7-3)

Unless Peter’s team shits the bed, they’re in good shape; they face two of the other teams in the playoff race (me and Tate) as well as 2-8 Brett. Even if they drop two of their last three games and end up 8-5, they’re guaranteed at least a tie for fourth place, since Tate and I play each other and one of us has to end up with at least 5 losses. They currently hold the points scored tiebreak over every team at the moment, with Tate being the only other team within 40 points at the moment, so they’re a non-lock lock to make the 4-team playoff.

ON THE BUBBLE: Team Sexton (7-3), SCLSU Mud Dogs (6-4) and Somewhere Over The Dwayne Bowe (6-4)

The road will not be easy for any of these three teams; Kyle faces the #9, 2 and 3 scorers in the last three weeks while Tate faces the #5, 3 and 1 and I face #’s 2, 1 and 7. The winners of the Tate-Sean week 11 and Tate-Kyle week 12 matchups will be in excellent shape to claim the two final playoff spots, and things will get very interesting if Tate wins both, Kyle beats Tyler in week 11 and I beat Peter in week 12 – in such a scenario, I would need Aziz to beat Kyle while beating Ben, and catching up in the large points scored gap between us. Wait, who am I kidding? I ain’t beating no Peter in week 12.

AH-AH-AH-AH STAYIN ALIVE: Team Kelly (4-5-1) and Shmitty Werbenmanjensen (4-6)

If either of these teams win out, they’re still mathematically alive. Shmitty has the easier road, facing the #7, 9 and 10 scorers in the league this year, but also have less margin for error, since Team Kelly’s best case scenario record of 7-5-1 is obviously half of a game better. It’s unlikely that either team will win out and make the playoffs mainly because they have too much ground to make up. But if Tate or I lose out, and the winner of our week 11 lineup loses their last two games, things could get veeeeeery interesting.

ELIMINATED: Titsburgh Feelers (2-8), Juicy J (2-8) and Don’t Suh Me Bro (2-7-1)

Please don’t give up on your teams – you can still play spoiler to other teams. And also, remember that this is a keeper league, so don’t be afraid to trade good 2013 players for 2014 and beyond guys. And trade them to me only, please.
If I had to guess today, I’d say the playoffs will look like this (although I hope it won’t):

#1 Miley’s VMA Foam Finger vs #4 Team Sexton
#2 Manti Te’o’s Fake Girlfriend vs #3 SCLSU Mud Dogs

Week 9 Recap

Week 9 is dunzo!
A few reminders before we get to the recap:
Thanks to all of you for paying!
Payout is:
Championship winner - $180

There is a poll up - should the Trade Deadline be December 4 (the Wednesday between the last week of the regular season and the playoffs) or should there be no trade deadline at
all? As always, keep in mind that we keep 3 players after the season, so trades will be judged a little more carefully late in the year to make sure no collusion is going on with one-sided deals.

Your standings:

No Andy Reid or Ohio State band gifs this week. Sorry!
Somewhere Over The Dwayne Bowe 158, Titsburgh Feelers 143
I got a little worried during the 1 PM games, and then worried again after ANDRE JOHNSON SCORED 49 POINTS ON SUNDAY NIGHT, but came out on top with the most points of the week thanks to Tom Brady (33), Jimmy Graham (32), Stevan Ridley (24) and Danny Amendola (22). With my win and Tate's loss, I am now in fourth place and have cut Kyle's points scored lead on me to just 7 points. Brett falls to 9th place, just one point ahead of Juicy J to stay out of the cellar.
Don't Suh Me Bro 157, SCLSU Mud Dogs 133
In classic Sean fashion, I stole Bean's thunder as the league's top point scorer by 1 point. Muahahahaha! Bean got nice games from his two RB's, All Day Adrian Peterson and Chris Johnson (58 points combined) as well as Keenan Allen and Jason Witten (50 points combined, and I don't know why I'm combining Ben's guys' points together). Tate had a great game out of TY Hilton (37) as well as Pierre Garcon (24) but fell just short and falls to fifth place. Tate is currently second in the league in scoring behind Peter, so he should be able to win tiebreaks if needed, but his leads are down to 42 over me, 35 over Kyle and 5 over Aziz. Bean is no longer in last place, but is in 8th, which is also not good. He had a tie, which we still make fun of him for.
Team Sexton 125, Shmitty Werbenmanjensen 73
Big games were had from Brandon Marshall (23), DeSean Jackson (26) and Rob Gronkowski (29) for Kyle, who got past duds by Andy Dalton (6), Trent Richardson (7) and the Saints D (2) to breeze to victory. Speaking of Brees, he was one of three double digit scorers for Matt, who also had Antonio Brown (18) and Dwayne Bowe (13); Arian Foster and Darren McFadden both got hurt and scored a grand total of 2 points from the RB spot. Kyle is in third place overall, second out of the three teams tied at 6-3 while Matt is in 7th place, half of a game ahead of Ben but three out of a playoff spot.
Miley's VMA Foam Finger 115, Manti Te'o's Fake Girlfriend 95
In the battle of the two best teams in this league, the point total disappointed a bit (the teams scored the 6th and 8th most points this week, respectively), but was still a solid matchup. Aziz was led by Ben Roethlisberger, who scored 26, as well as AJ Green (23) and the Chiefs' D (21). Peter only got 10 points out of RGIII, and his 28 out of Matt Forte and 8 out of Mason Crosby on Monday night couldn't get him to victory. The teams are still first and second in the league, though, so it's basically like Groundhog's Day.
Team Kelly 111, Juicy J 76
Team Kelly had nice performances out of Russell Wilson (21), Mike James (21) and Tony Gonzalez (20) to beat John decisively. It doesn't help that the Juciest of J's had his QB, Aaron Rodgers, crumple into a heap on the first drive of the game with a shoulder injury. John's four GB players combined to score 32 points, which is amazing since Andrew Quarless scored 8 times as many as Aaron Rodgers and Andrew Quarless and Delanie Walker were both in his starting lineup. Team Kelly is now in 6th place, 2.5 games out of a playoff spot, while Juicy J is in last place.
Now, onto your NFL GIFcaps!

Dolphins 22, Bengals 20
The Bengals outgained the Dolphins by 120 yards, ran 32 more plays and out-possessed them by 12 minutes, but still lost miserably on a safety in overtime (that was probably not really a safety, sorry Ben). Young ACC backs Gio Bernard (79 rushing yards, 25 receiving yards and 2 TD) and Lamar Miller (105 rushing yards and 24 receiving yards) each had solid weeks, and AJ Green had a nice week (11 catches for 128). The loss came down to Andy Dalton, who threw 3 picks and lost a fumble, just one week after throwing for five TD's.
Holy Giovani Bernard

.
This was a bad pass by Andy Dalton

.
Nolan Carroll...ouch.

.
I'm not going to beat the Richie Incognito/Jonathan Martin thing, but Incognito has on occasion before. on the situation if you've been living under a rock. And Dolphins message boards, which makes this dumpter fire semi-hilarious.
The Dolphins are now 4-4 and are 2.5 games out of the AFC East lead but just a half game behind the Jets for the final AFC Wild Card spot. Cincy only lost ground to one of their 3 AFC North-mates, as Baltimore and Pittsburgh lost, and are 2 games ahead of Cleveland for the AFC North lead.
Redskins 30, Chargers 24
Oh. My. God. How the hell did the Skins not lose this game? An overturned Danny Woodhead TD gave the Chargers the ball inside the Skins' one yard line on first and goal, but they ran three dumb playcalls (a shotgun run and two passes) and settled for a game-tying field goal and overtime. The Skins marched down the field with ease and Darrel Young scored his third TD of the game (words I never expected to type) to give the Skins a victory.
The Skins are now 1.5 games behind the Cowgirls for first in the NFC East and two behind Carolina for the last wild card spot in the NFC. San Diego is now 5 games behind Kansas City in the AFC West race and a half game behind NYJ for the final AFC wild card.
PLEASE RGIII NEVER DO THIS AGAIN

.
Brandon Meriweather is a man of his word...he went for the knees.

.
There were lots of tips and blocked stuff by the Chargers.

.

.
HTTR

.
Chiefs 23, Bills 13
Remember when the Bills were up 10-3 at halftime and the Chiefs were gonna not be undefeated anymore? Yeah, then Jeff Tuel threw a red zone INT that ended up becoming a 100 yard Sean Smith pick six and later Tamba Hali added an 11 yard fumble return TD. Who needs offense? Apparently not the Chiefs.
The Chiefs are still undefeated and are a game and a half ahead of the Broncos for first in the AFC West. Buffalo falls to 3-6 and is four games behind NE in the AFC East and two behind NYJ for the last AFC wild card.
Sean Smith 100 Yard Pick 6 Dot Gif

.
CJ Spiller 61 yard run! He's alive?!?

.
I don't know who Marquise Goodwin is because he is so fast he ran off of my TV.

.
Chiefs D gonna Chief.

.
Cowboys 27, Vikings 23
I was not in a good place when the Cowgirls were driving late, as the Skins would obviously give up a last second TD to lose to the Chargers and the season would be over. Thankfully for my sanity, that didn't happen, but Dallass still won thanks to a Dwayne Harris TD catch with 35 seconds left in the game. Christian Ponder actually had a decent game, completing 68% of his passes for 236 yards, a TD and a pick; he also ran for 29 yards and a TD (albeit with 2 fumbles, 1 of them lost). Dallass only ran the ball 9 times for 36 yards, but it was no problem at the end, as Romo completed 2/3 of his passes for 337 yards, 2 TD and a pick.
Dallass is a game ahead of the Iggles for first in the NFC East while the Vikings are now 1-7 and sit in third place in the current 2014 draft rankings.
ADRIAN. PETERSON. I'll just leave this here

.
and here

.
Good Dez: encouraging his teammates

.
Bad Dez: getting 30 yards of penalties on one play

.
Well, at least he gets to come home to Sam Steele Ponder

.
Hell of a dance

.
Tony Romo, failed cheater

.
Titans 28, Rams 21
Jake Locker finally had a bad game, completing 59% of his passes for 185 and 2 picks, but it didn't matter, as the Titans came out on top thanks to 198 rushing yards and 4 rushing TD's. Shonn Greene got the first TD, certainly worrying some CJ2K owners that he would vulture TD's down the stretch of the season, but he ended up with 150 rushing yards and 2 TD's. Zac Stacy had himself a game as well, running 27 times for 127 yards and 2 TD's and catching 6 balls for 51 yards as well.
With the loss, the Rams fall to 12th in the NFC, 2 and a half games out of the final wild card spot and five out of the NFC West lead. Tennessee is still 2 games out of the AFC North lead but just a half game out of the last AFC wild card spot.
Zac Stacy is scoring TD's, which is cool.

.
Maybe Jared Cook should be hungry more often...because he sucks when he's not hungry apparently.

.
Chris Johnson is alive! and dancing!

.
Jets 26, Saints 20
Raise your hand if you expected the Jets to beat the Saints by 6 a week after losing by 39 to the Bengals? No hands? That's right. Chris Ivory (18 carries for 139 yards) and Nick Folk (4/4 FG) led the way for the Jets, who also handled Drew Brees fairly well (59% completions for 382 yards, 2 touchdowns and 2 picks). Jimmy Graham had 9 catches for 116 yards and 2 TD's and I love Jimmy Graham.
The Saints remain in second place in the NFC, but are now just a game ahead of Carolina for the NFC South lead. The Jets move up to the second AFC wild card spot, half of a game ahead of the likes of Tennessee, Miami and San Diego; they are two games behind New England in the AFC East.
DAYUMMMM GENO HOW YOU GONNA TREAT A FULL-BODIED MAN LIKE THAT?

.
Tip drill!

.
This is like the David Tyree Super Bowl catch, except the Saints lost. And they lost to the Jets.

.
Panthers 34, Falcons 10
The Falcons showed some life late in the second quarter, cutting the Panthers' lead to 4. Then they looked like the 2013 Falcons and allowed 20 unanswered Panthers points to lose by 24. Cam Newton was solid completing 62% of his passes for 249 with a TD and 2 picks; he added a rushing TD, as did Mike Tolbert. Matt Ryan completed 20 of his 27 passes, but 3 of those incompletions were interceptions (one of which was returned for a TD).
Carolina moves up to the final NFC wild card spot at 5-3 and is now behind New Oreans by just a game; they play in weeks 14 and 16, so things certiainly aren't over there. The Falcons falls to 2-6, three games behind Carolina in the wild card race and four behind New Orleans for the division.
Cam Newton is elusive during non-laptop-thievery situations

.
Steve Smith is hungry too! He and Jared Cook should go to McDonalds together!

.
Sweet pick, Brah.

.
Mike Tolbert is sexy, and nobody is allowed to say otherwise.

.
Eagles 49, Raiders 20
HOLY NICK FOLES. Can you believe that this guy threw for 7 touchdowns this Sunday?

Oh wait, that's just Peter on Halloween. He sat on a couch this Sunday. It was this guy.

Foles threw TD's to Riley Cooper (3), DeSean Jackson, Zach Ertz, LeSean McCoy and Brent Celek. 7 passing TD's on 24 completions. Wowzers. The Raiders actually ran the ball pretty effectively (33 carries for 210 yards and 2 TD's) but just couldn't put together the points together to keep up.
Philly is now a game and a half out of the final wild card spot in the NFC but just a game out of the NFC East lead. The Raiders are a game and a half out of the final wild card spot in the AFC but are 5.5 games out of the AFC West.
Nick Foles incredibly threw a pass that wasn't caught for a TD. Just a 59 yarder to DeSean Jackson, nothing to see here.

.
Shady being shifty

.
Since it's Riley Cooper scoring on a black team, is that raycess?

.
DeSean is stylin' and profilin'

.
Seahawks 27, Buccaneers 24 (OT)
The Buccaneers took a 21-0 lead late in the second quarter. That was cute. You knew they were going to lose, right? There were a bunch of nice fantasy games, as Russell Wilson had 2 passing TD's and a rushing one (albeit with 2 picks), Marshawn Lynch hat 125 rushing yards, Mike James had 158 rushing yards (and a passing TD!!!!) and Mike Glennon had 2 passing TD. Luckily for the Bucs, for the first week this season they aren't the biggest NFL embarrassment in the state of Florida! Thanks Dolphins!
Seattle remains the class of the NFC at 8-1. They are 1.5 games ahead of SF in the NFC West. Tampa Bay remains in a battle with Jacksonville for last place in the entire universe at 0-8.
This is my favorite GIF of the year I think!

.
Ow, sorry Mike Glennon.

.
You can try to tackle Russell Wilson, but you can't tackle Russell Wilson, so why even try?

.
Browns 24, Ravens 18
THE BROWNS BEAT THE RAVENS AND THE RAVENS ARE 3-5 AND HAHAHA. Davone Bess had 2 TD's, which is something that I never expected to type three months ago. So did Marlon Brown, but I didn't even know who he was three months ago. Baltimore struggled running the ball (21 carries for 55 yards), lost the turnover battle by 1, and were penalized 9 times for 80 yards, which are three things that I nitpicked rather than 3 true reasons why they lost. Still, HAHAHA.
Cleveland is 4-5 and two games behind Cincy for the AFC North lead, but are just a game out of sixth place New York for the last wild card spot. Baltimore is 2.5 games behind Cincy and a game and a half behind the Jets.
Tip Drill part 2!

.
Greg Littlololol

.
Patriots 55, Steelers 31
Tom Brady, Stevan Ridley, Rob Gronkowski and Danny Amendola all had breakout games, which is what most expected for them to be doing much earlier than week 9 in 2013. Brady had 4 TD's and 432 yards passing, Ridley had 115 rushing yards and 2 rushing TD's, and Gronk and Amendola both had 122+ yards and a receiving TD. Aaron Dobson had a nice day as well, catching 5 balls for 130 yards and 2 TD. Ridley lost a fumble, so he'll probably never get another carry until the end of civilization. Ben Roethlisberger threw four of his own TD's (3 to Jerricho Cotchery since we currently live in 2006 and 1 to Antonio Brown), but turned the ball over three times to partially negate all of that.
The Pats are 7-2 now and sit two games ahead of the Jets in the AFC East. Pittsburgh is 2-6, 2.5 games behind the Jets and 3.5 behind the Bengals.
Tom Brady throws for 4 TD's and still almost can't get a high five. At least LeGarrette Blount didn't punch him in the face.

.
Aaron Dobson exists?

.

.
At least Polamalu is still alive

.
Amazingly, Danny Amendola did not break his hands catching this pass.

.
Colts 27, Texans 24
The Texans were up 18 late in the third quarter, but TY Hilton caught three TD passes in the final 15:05 of the game. Case Keenum kinda out-battled Andrew Luck, posting a better completion rate (59% to 45%), more yards (350 to 271) and the same number of TD/INT (3/0)...but the Texans just couldn't win this one. Andre Johnson had 9 catches for 229 yards and 3 TD, which was pretty cool, though.
The Texans are 2.5 games out of the final wild card spot in the AFC and 4 behind Indy for the AFC South lead. Indy is 2 games ahead of Tennessee and 2.5 behind KC for first in the AFC. Hopefully Gary Kubiak is okay.
DeAndre Hopkins did not catch a TD, but still cool

.
TY Hilton does not need your peasant shoes!

.

.
Andre Johnson is alive again!

.

.
Bears 27, Packers 20
Depending on which sources you trust, Aaron Rodgers may or may not have a broken collarbone (as of 1 am on Monday night, so punch me in the face if I forget to update this before I post it). Key fantasy players Brandon Marshall, Matt Forte, Eddie Lacy and Alshon Jeffery all had TD's, as did reserve James Starks. The game remained close until the end, but Seneca Wallace just couldn't get the Packers where they needed to be, passing for just 114 yards with a pick and being sacked 4 times (including twice on the final drive to lose).
This was a tough loss for Green Bay, who now fall in a three way tie for the NFC North title (Detroit currently holds the tiebreak). The Bears face the Lions next week, however, so there won't be a three way tie at that point.
Rodgers got hurt

.
These cheesegraterheads are pretty sweet

.
Great evasion by McCown and catch by Marshall here

.
James Starks sighting! Did we take a time machine back to the 2010 playoffs?

.
I still can't believe the Packers have a run game

.
The Packers blocked a punt
