Fantasy Football 2010 Playoffs Round Two

Before I briefly report on the second and final round of the fantasy playoffs: Wow, wasn't Marshawn Lynch's 68 yard dash yesterday an amazing play? Definitely the most impressive, powerful game-closing TD I've ever seen in the post-season, a highlight that will be shown every time the greatest playoff upsets are talked about on T.V. After watching the Seahawks upset the Saints, I couldn't wait to watch the Jets play the Colts. But my DVR decided not to cooperate, and I missed a great game. Now I am sad, but I have learned a valuable life lesson: don't let friends and a social life interfere with live NFL football.

I got handled pretty soundly in the second round of the fantasy playoffs, losing 183-137. I actually had a four-point lead after the first week (each playoff "game" is two weeks), but in the second week only scored 51 points while my opponent scored 101. With the loss, I finished up # 4 in the 10-team league. A disappointing finish, and an interesting reversal from last season where I did much worse in the regular season but won both playoff games.

The Wife's team won in the second round of the consolation bracket, and finishes the season as the # 9 team.
