If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

It's looking like Laura and KF will be sliding into the postseason. It was down to the final week!

My team's performance has been exactly as underwhelming as I expected it to be post-draft; I can't believe I still have a chance to make the playoff.

Can I put in a vote to change our season next year to end a week earlier? All my other leagues have finished already, because this next week so many top players sit out. It's not really fair for the fantasy teams that make the championship to suddenly be without lots of their best players.

I'd second that motion

I know that issue has been brought up at least once previously but a format change was decided against. I'd want to review why that was the case. I would personally be hesitant to support changing something so significant this many years in when we declined to do it earlier on.

I don't know why it was decided against or who did it...but every single year it annoys me to no end. :lol:

I think the stance was just tradition. But with the added week our stats would actually be more accurate changing it now \:D/

Good luck to you as well, KF. \:D/ It's looking like a close finals!

I'd support dropping the final week next year if that's what the majority wants.

Since the NFL has discontinued their playoff challenge we have used in the past, my husband found a different site we can use for the postseason.
https://thesecondseason.com/football/
I set up a private league, TheToOStrikesBack (#26435) with the password thetoo if anyone wants to join.
