It's Official, it is all over

For the first time in the many years I have played fantasy football, my team has failed to make the playoffs.

I still cannot believe it.

My squad at the end of this week looked like this:

qb - Marc Bulger
wr - Torry Holt
wr - Marvin Harrison
rb - Brian Westbrook
rb - Ronnie Brown
flex - Chester Taylor
te - Jeremy Shockey
k - John Casay
DST - Baltimore Ravens

I know what you are thinking and.....

Exactly, how does a team that good not make the playoffs and currently sit at 3-8 (I am in a 5 game losing streak).

Here is how, by having 1300 points scored against you. I ran into buzz saws all year. The guy who had Tomlinson was in my division and LT scored 8 tds against me in the 2 games I played him.

Another team in my division had Peyton Manning and Peyton threw 7 TDs against me in the 2 games. The week I played the team with Larry Johnson, he had 4 tds. I also lost 2 other games (that did not involve LT, LJ, or Peyton) where I scored over 130 points.

Just one of those fluke seasons where nothing went my way. I guess that is what I get for having everything go my way last year and winning the whole thing (thanks to LJ, Carson Palmer, Chicago's DST, and Steve Smith). I'll just try and play spoiler to a couple other teams I have left play.

As I said, this is the first time my team did not qualify for the playoffs, now what?

I'm clinging on to second place in our league by a thread...please pray for S. Alexander to STINK tomorrow night. I covet your prayers...

Now what? I think football players who don't make the playoffs go golfing, but since this is fantasy football, you'll probably have to go fantasy golfing.
