yeah, there are always great team names out there. To bad I'm not creative to come up with one. I've heard the Cutler's Last Stand name b4 and I think its the second best after Racing to the End Zone.
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Yeah I don't usually go with anything too creative. My best was probably when I had both Peyton and Eli and called my team Two Mannings One Cup. My best this year is probably Lynch's Lombardi. But something along the lines of Raider Nation like I did here is more normal for me.

One year, a guy started like 0-4 and re-named his team 2008 Detroit Lions and I thought that was pretty funny.

A win over Bert gives me a chance, but it's going to be tough to get in even with a 10-4 record. I need a Bert loss or two losses from Pabs or TWIE. (I have better chances with both other leagues I am in, despite 7-5 records in both.)

I've been staring at your record for like the last 2 weeks tbh.

My last games are hard and yours are easier and i dont like this at all.

Plus Pabs and I play this week so theres a loss for one of us right there.

Gonna be kind of upset if I end up out at 9-4-1 lol.

Mostly because my only other league this year is a trainwreck that just wont stop.

I think I'm pretty much out at this point. pabs is projected for a tie right now, but even with a loss he is way ahead of me in points for (and is projected to outscore me this week, as well). Meanwhile, Bert is projected for a comfortable win. I'm not sure if my better division record even matters (division winners get the better seeds in this league, but I don't see anything on the settings about breaking ties within a division by division record, just points for), and if it doesn't I need to beat him by 56. I am currently projected to get 75, never mind what he does.

If all projections hold, I will miss the playoffs at 10-4 and peg will make it as a 7-7 division winner.

Looking very unlikely that Bert will lose; Rhinox is down 10 points and left with James White (who hasn't scored 10 points all year), while Bert still has two players from Miami. This could be one of those wacky New England third string RB games, but probably not.

Division 3 did at least come through this week and avoid putting in a playoff team without a winning record - peg will get in at 8-6 unless there is some sort of crazy miracle (Cooks+NE Defense need 49 for him to lose), and there's a chance they will have the top three scores this week (though likely pabs will jump up there).
