If I survive either playoff game this week, it'll be a fucking miracle.

Ditto.

My team is under-performing at the moment.

ESPN's live feed said there were a bunch of these at the game today.

Cin 30 Cle 0 - Manziel
Cle 24 Cin 3 - Hoyer

Cincinnati had 347 yards to Cleveland's 107. The Bengals picked up 24 first downs to five for the Browns, who went just 1 of 10 on third down.

I'm in the consolation bracket. Won first round. Winning today with most points in the league, ahead by 70.

WAY TO SHOW UP RETARDS. :)

Where to begin...

Johnny Boyziel.

Johnny sure gave a spark to the offense. The other team's.

#WreckMyTeam -Johnny Turnover

Manziel's Total QBR of 1.0 was the lowest by any starting passer with at least 10 attempts in a game all season. Johnny Football's nightmare also tied for the lowest Total QBR in a debut over the past five seasons with -- wait for it -- former Browns first-round disaster Brandon Weeden.

Not checking any scores until all players are done, otherwise I will fucking obsess over the remaining games.

Keeper PPR:

All my opponent's players are done. I've still got Decker, Tate, Lynch, and Wilson to go. I'm not looking good. but his dudes aren't exactly blowing it up, either. My biggest sin? I normally login to tweek my lineup a few minutes before the first game to see who's hurt. I neglected to note that Julio Jones wasn't playing, which means I left Harry Douglas on my bench and played Marquise goddamned Lee. I get the feeling that will be the difference. I'll check back after all the second-wave games are done. I will be ever so pissed if I lose by less than the difference between Harry and Marquise.

Standard:

Opponent has Chris Ivory and Megatron still going. I got Demarco going later on. Both Mike Wallace and Jarvis Landry are on my bench. FUCK FUCK FUCK. The one game 60 Minutes finally goes over the 100-yard mark.

I cannot overemphasize how badly I picked my WRs this years in every league except the catt league.

Will check on standard league after the late game.

Keeper PPR:

HOLY SHIT. I won by 4.4 points. Cracking the ice wine. Last TD pass of Wilson's put me over the top.

Dudes that performed for me:
Lynch, Tate, Gronk, Decker, I'll even toss my kicker Tucker in there. But most of all, I'd like to thank Johnny Suckfest for giving Smokin' Josh Gordon a bad day beyond all my expectations. Figured my opponent would bury me with him.

Dudes that almost killed me:
Tre Mason, Marquise Lee.

Even better ... my opponent started Larry Donnell (3.1 points) at TE this week. He dropped Charles Clay (11.something) for the Chiefs D (11 points), whom he started over Houston (17 points). Good to know lineup mistakes aren't my exclusive domain. In the championship next week against the #2 seed, packing Megatron. Wilson and Lynch head to Arizona next week. Just ouch. The #2 seed is the dude that robbed someone blind of Megatron in the worst trade deal of the last decade. So bad that it made it 90210-level drama trying to get any other trade through if it wasn't balanced on a pinhead. The #2 was also so much of a dick that a 15-year league vet quit because he couldn't put up with his shit.

Manziel/Cincinnati memes

The first two are the best at that link.

FB is full of better ones.

Seeing as how my opponent's done and there's half a quarter left, I check the score in the standard league...

I've got a puncher's chance and that's about it.

I've got Brees Monday night and I'm down 12 points.

He's got Colston and Forte.

Between Forsett, Stewart, Sanders, and Hilton I got 21 points. Not good.

More on Boyziel's playing.
You quit on everything that we had done as a team, not Brian Hoyer, but what the team had done. That was a horrible coaching decision, so I can't blame it all on Johnny Manziel because Johnny Manziel wasn't ready to play. You know how I know? Mike Pettine told me so.

Ray Rice knocked his wife out with two punches, then dragged her unconscious body around with zero remorse or regard.

AP was raised by old school parents.

Not sure why one is cleared to play and not the other.

If AP's shit had come out before Ray Rice, AP would be playing right now.

And DeMarco might be done due to a broken hand. Fuck. Guess I'm picking up Randle unless my opponent outbids me.

I lost by three points. Fuck.

It was a good defense of my title though. Plus, I made money on the year.

$44 left in the standard league and both my RBs (Al Morris and DeMarco) have injuries, DeMarco's probably out.

Free agent auction bids:
$20 on Joseph Randle
$20 on Lance Dunbar
$2 on Brandon Oliver
$2 on Silas Redd

Fuck me.
