Week 10 games sent out

Chicago Bears fire coach RipRock - BenKenobie steps in as new head coach
Our second mid-season coaching change finds the 2-5 Bears looking for a spark from new coach BenKenobie to keep them in the playoff hunt. A Week 14 victory over division leading Packers will be key.

One, Two, THREE Division leads change hands after Week 9
Ravens, Panthers, and 49ers all won this week taking leads from the Steelers, Bucs, and Rams (respectively) by way of better division records. Three teams battle for the AFC North, while the NFC South and NFC West are any team's for the taking - with no team more than 2 games out.

Same goes for the AFC West, where the Broncos upset the Steelers in my Week 9 Spotlight with a quick, confindent victory.

Week 10 Spotlight A - With the Steelers hosting the 2-6 Bengals at home, the Ravens must win on the road against division rival Browns, who sit just one game out themselves. A Browns win and Steelers loss puts the AFC North in a three way tie. Browns win
Bengals lead, but Steelers are driving and look poised to score

Week 10 Spotlight B - The undefeated Cowboys go on the road to face the 6-2 Packers. After a strong showing over the Bucs last week, you can bet the Packers will be looking to make a statement by upsetting the Boys, who certainly can't rest yet, with the Skins hot on their heels. Cowboys win

Other notable games:
To stay in the mix, the 4-4 Saints must win on the road against a dangerous 6-2 Rams team. Saints win A Ram's loss would give the 6-2 Niners, who don't know what to expect from Kenobie's Bears, some breathing room as the Niners look for their second straight home win. Niners win

The 5-3 Panthers are also at home, with another important divisonal matchup and a chance to strengthen their division lead, even if the Bucs win on the road against the hapless Dolphins as expected. Panthers win

The 6-1 Redskins host the 5-3 Broncos who have won 3 games on the road this season and will need to make it 4 to hang on to the AFC West. Broncos win Though the 4-4 Chargers are technically at home this week, they host a 2-6 Eagles team who's only 2 wins have come on the same Arms Race map, so a Chargers win is far from guaranteed.
Eagles struggle with multiple delay of game penalties and may forfeit the game.

Meanwhile the Chiefs and Raiders face off in what could be a make or break game for their playoff hopes. The Raiders hold a slim advantage at home, where they've won 2. Raiders win

The Seahawks hope to end their 4 game skid with a road win over the Cardinals. A 5th straight loss might put their playoff hopes in to the cruel hands of fate.

Lastly, the 5-3 Jaguars head to NY where the 6-2 Jets are undefeated. The Jaguars, however, have won 3 on the road and need another win to fend off the Colts. Jets win

Week 9 stragglers:
Redskins hold a small lead at halftime - on the road over the Falcons in the Monday Night matchup.
Update: Skins hold a strong 20 point lead over the Falcons. Barring a miracle - Redskins win
Kenobie takes the reigns looking for his first victory at home hosting the Cardinals.

New standings coming soon

Week 11 games sent out

Spotlight A
This is the one you've been waiting for - the 9-0 Cowboys host the 7-2 Redskins in the first of their two match-ups.
Washington brings the heat and ends the Cowboy's win streak putting them within 1 win of the conference lead.

Spotlight B
7-2 SF Niners (that's me) travel to 6-3 Green Bay. A win for the Niners, who've done well on the road so far, will help them hang on to their thin division lead.
Packers win.

Spotlight C
The NO Saints can get back into the mix with a road win over division rivals Tampa Bay.
Saints win a very important game for them. Carolina is down 10 points at home against Miami. The NFC South will be a 3-way tie going into Week 12.

More upsets coming out of the AFC East as the (4-5) New England Patriots shock* the (7-2) division rival NY Jets to win their last three and pull within two wins of the division lead, while the Buffalo Bills hold a solid 14 point lead over AFC South leading Jacksonville Jaguars.

In the AFC West, the (6-3) Denver Broncos have their hands full with the (5-4) San Diego Chargers, who hold a 6 point lead at Mile High Stadium (Denver Home). The Chargers have won their last 3 and will take the division lead with a win here.

Week 12 games coming this weekend (hopefully)

CHARGERS TAKE DIVISION LEAD WITH QUIET 4 WIN STREAK
With an quick upset on the road, the NailerX's San Diego Chargers wrestled the division lead from the Denver Broncos on account of a better division record.

SKINS END COWBOYS UNDEFEATED BID
A heated rivalry finally came to head when the visiting Washington Redskins handed the Dallas Cowboys their first loss. The win puts the Skins within one game of the division AND conference lead.

AFC NORTH A TOSS-UP
Hear that knocking? Its the Cincinnati Bengals demanding to be included in the AFC North talk. They've won back-to-back road games with an upset over the Pittsburgh Steelers and another over a Raiders team who were undefeated at home since a mid-season coaching change.
The Steelers picked a bad time to hit a 3 game losing skid. Baltimore Ravens won this week to maintain their thin division lead. Steelers/Ravens and Browns/Bengals face each other in Week 12.

NFC SOUTH GETS TIGHT WITH CAROLINA LOSS AND SAINTS WIN
The Miami Dolphins routed the Carolina Panthers on the road. The Panthers never saw the end zone - scoring only 3 points as their offense sputtered suddenly after winning their previous 4 games.
The New Orleans Saints further complicated matters with a road win over the Tampa Bay Bucs to tie up the division at 6 wins a piece.
The Panthers still hang on to a slim lead via 1 Division win, but must visit the New York Jets next where a noisy stadium has made it nearly impossible for visiting teams to win.

OTHER NOTABLES
The St Louis Rams pulled back into a tie with my San Francisco Niners. The next two weeks are crucial for me as I face division rivals back to back, while the Rams face two teams with a collective 5-15 record.
The Chicago Bears finally won their 3rd and 1st under new coach Ben Kenobie.

Standing updated through Week 11
*The Week 10 matchup between Seattle & Arizona is still in play, with Seattle leading by 8 late in the 3rd quarter. For the sake of a standings update, I've given this win to Seattle, but will watch the outcome closely and make updates as necessary.

Guide to my game "commentary":
3 Rounds = 1 Quarter
Most games are "over" by 12 rounds or less. Games extending into later rounds are OT (overtime, not offensive tackle :))
Missed turn = delay of game penalty
Troop differential = A "lead" in points

Week 12 Games sent! (finallY)

Sorry for the long delay. Went off to Iceland last week, so lots of catching up at work this week.

Spotlight Game A
http://www.conquerclub.com/game.php?game=6098115
Coach LittleBrother takes his Steelers to Baltimore in an effort to wrestle back the AFC North division lead from Coach Vragus's dominant Ravens.

Spotlight Game B
http://www.conquerclub.com/game.php?game=6098099
Tied with the Bucs and Saints, Coach Cubs could use some lucky breaks if his Panthers are going to pull off a win in NY. Despite an upset last week, Jricart's Jets are undefeated at home.

Standings update

The Niners, Panthers and Chargers all retain their division leads heading into Week 13 - but barely. With 5 games left in the season, only 1 team is mathematically eliminated from playoff contention and none have locked up a spot, but we're certainly down to the wire.

The NFC West could come down to the final Week 17 game if the Niners and Rams remain tied up. Ditto the Panthers and Saints in the NFC South, while the Skins remain hot on the Cowboys heel's in the NFC North.

Meanwhile, the AFC North remains tight despite the Steelers 4-game losing skid. The Colts pull within one game of the AFC South title while the Chargers have only their 4 division wins separating them from the Broncos in the AFC West. Even AFC East could mix it up as the Jets have watched their lead dwindle to 2 wins.

Week 14 Games sent!

While a few Week 13 games are still in play, 2 lead changes have taken place in the NFC, where dowian2's Saints have marched into the South lead, thanks to 4 straight wins and an assist from the Buccaneers. In the North, Phil Gates's Lions won their 5th straight to snag the lead from the Packers. By the looks of it, a 3rd lead change could take place if the St Louis Rams win their next, as my Niners dropped a game to division rival Seahawks.

Things remain tight in the AFC as well. Nailer X's Chargers have taken a note from their real-life NFL counterparts and put together a dominant string of wins after a sloppy start to the season, to hold off the Denver Broncos. The Chargers will go for their 7th this week, but face one of their toughest matchups yet as they travel to face 11-1 Dallas at home. Meanwhile, Cash_Box and the Colts have tied up the AFC South at 5 wins. These two face each other in Week 15, in what will likely decide their season's fate. However - the 2-10 Titans and 3-9 Texans are mathematically still alive in this weak division.

Standings update!

Its official - three teams took over their division lead in Week 13 - the Detroit Lions, New Orleans Saints and St Louis Rams.

The Indianapolis Colts have tied up their division with the Jacksonville Jaguars, but their coach has suddenly gone AWOL.

As we near the end of the season, I ask that you stick with the tournament - even if the outcome looks grim. Doing so will guarantee you an invitation to next year's league and any other I start. I may also do a "Pro Bowl" game before the playoffs end - just for fun. Only 5 teams are mathematically eliminated from playoff contention at this point.

Hope you all had a great holiday

Week 16 games sent out

This is the penultimate game of the regular season. Lots of great divisional matchups this week. No lead changes since the last standings update, but the race is very close. Many teams will need to finish strong to move on (though the Colts or Jaguars could sneak in the playoffs at a pedestrian 6-10!).

Two other teams with losing records have a slim chance at making the playoffs (though they must break even to do so). The Chicago Bears are 4-3 since Coach Ben took over, but like SoxFan's Patriots, winning their next two games won't be enough. Their fate lies in the hands of others.

Game of the week - DAL @ WAS
Though Coach Highlander's Cowboys locked up a 1st round bye last week, don't expect them to lay down to Luca's Skins - who can clinch a Wild Card spot with a win. These bitter division rivals will battle to the end.

After severe weather delays, the Week 14 Colts v Broncos and Week 15 Colts v Jacksonville games are scheduled to be made up this coming week. The Week 15 game in particular may decide the AFC South winner.

This is your playoff picture at the moment:
