RB Michael J. Fox (GCG) 1,272 yards rushing (4th) 4 rushing TDs (15th) 4.4 avg.
RB Frank Williams 1,269 yards rushing (5th) 10 rushing TDs (2nd) 5.1 avg.
WR Son Johnson (ARZ) 1,219 yards rushing (6th) 8 rushing TDs (5th) 5.6 avg.
RECEIVING The past 2 seasons have seen a WR win the receiving triple crown. While WR James Fain (MEM) accomplished the feat the past 2 seasons, his teammate is currently on pace to do the same but sits 1 TD reception behind the current leader.
GG waitwut. I don't think we deserved to win that one but luckily for me the game doesn't care what I think.
Good luck in the playoffs

I’m not sure we deserved to win, either - and we didn’t. PHI started out real hot and then I touched my GP. Never been able to return to that hot start. Playoffs will call for me to dive a little deeper.
The below playoff scenarios are what I believe to be true but not only do I make mistakes but MFN's tiebreakers haven't been clearly defined to my satisfaction.
Take what I say with a grain of salt and play to win because I don't want anyone to think they have something won, bench starters and I was wrong!

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 1. Vancouver Vandals (13-2) [1] Vancouver has locked their division Title and the #1 seed. ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 2. Buffalo Skull Crushers (11-4) [2] They control their own fate and lock up the #2 seed with a win over Gem City in week 16. A lose coupled with a Pittsburgh win over Toronto would drop them to the #3 seed. ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 3. Dakota Blizzard (10-5) [3] Dakota wins the division with a win over Cincinnati in week 16 and is line to be the #3 seed. If Dakota wins, Pittsburgh wins and Buffalo loses then they would drop to the #4 seed. If Dakota loses and Michigan wins then they lose the division and drop to the #5 seed. If Dakota & Michigan both lose then Dakota wins the division and becomes the #3 or #4 seed depending on Pittsburgh & Houston winning or losing. At worse, Dakota would become the #6 seed. ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 4. Pittsburgh Blitzkrieg (10-5) [4] Pittsburgh needs to beat Toronto and they win their division. If they lose and Houston beats Michigan then they lose the division and becomes either the #5 or #6 seed depending on Dakota's outcome. ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 5. Oakland Outlaws (10-5) [6] Oakland has secured a Wildcard spot and currently controls the #5 seed and locks up the #5 seed with a win over Vancouver who has secured the bye and has nothing to play for. If Oakland loses, they could fall all the way to the #7 depending on the results of Dakota, Michigan, Pittsburgh & Houston. ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 6. Houston Roughnecks (9-6) [7] Houston is guaranteed at least the #6 seed. If they beat Michigan and Oakland loses, they secure the #5 seed. If they win and Pittsburgh loses to Toronto, they win the division and become the #4 seed. If they lose to Michigan they become the #7 seed. ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 7. Michigan Wolverines (9-6) [5] Michigan makes the postseason with a win over Houston. A win coupled with a Dakota lose means they win their division and become the #4 seed. A win coupled with a Dakota win makes then the #6 seed. A win coupled with a Dakota win and Oakland lose makes then the #5 seed. If Michigan loses and Cincinnati beats Dakota plus Indiana loses to Kansas City then they are eliminated. If Michigan loses and both Cincinnati & Indiana win, all 3 teams will be 9-7 with 7-5 Conference records and it's uncertain who makes it but based on net points, it appears Indiana wins. If Michigan loses, Cincinnati loses and Indiana wins then the 2 teams are tied with identical Conference records and common opponent record which means it comes down to points which means Indiana should be in. If Michigan loses plus Cincinnati & Indiana lose then Michigan wins the #7 seed. ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 8. Cincinnati Defenders (8-7) [9] 9. Indiana Fog (8-7) [8] Both teams need to win and have Houston beat Michigan to have a shot at the postseason. If Michigan wins then both teams are eliminated because neither wins a tiebreaker with Houston. If Houston wins combined with a Cincinnati win and Indiana lose then Cincinnati secures the #7 seed and Michigan is eliminated based on a head to head win. If Houston wins combined with an Indiana win and Cincinnati lose then it goes to points which should goto Indiana since both teams sit at +38 through week 15. If Houston wins combined with Cincinnati & Indiana winning then it's a 3-way tie and again goes to points. Michigan +38 Indiana +38 Cincinnati-12 ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 1. Atlanta Dominators (15-0) [1] The standings say Atlanta has secured the bye and it seems they have since even if Atlanta loses to Memphis and they both wind up 15-1, they will have identical Conference records and records versus common opponents which takes it to points. Atlanta +402 Arizona +325 So unless Arizona blows out winless LA and Atlanta loses to Memphis by a combined 78 points then Atlanta secures the bye. For example: Atlanta loses 31-18 (-13) Arizona wins 65-0 (+65) ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 2. Arizona Wranglers (14-1) [2] Arizona is seemingly locked into the #2 seed but an Atlanta lose coupled with a blowout of LA could theoretically land them the Bye. (See above) ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 3. Gem City Gangsters (12-3) [4] They become the #3 seed with a win over Buffalo or a Philadelphia lose to Providence. If Gem City loses and Philadelphia wins they become the #4 seed. ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 4. Philadelphia Slayers (12-3) [3] Philadelphia has won the division despite Providence winning in week 16 gives them identical records & division records but Philadelphia wins the common games tiebreaker. Philadelphia beat Dakota while Providence lost which is the difference. Philadelphia is the #4 seed unless they win and Gem City loses in week 16. ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 5. Memphis Maniacs (12-3) [5] Memphis is currently the #5 seed and lock it up with a win over Atlanta or Providence lose to Philadelphia. If Memphis loses and Providence wins then they become the #6 seed. ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 6. Providence Islanders (11-4) [6] Providence locked up the #6 seed and can move up to the #5 seed with a win over Philadelphia couple with a Memphis lose to Atlanta. ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 7. Vegas Black Aces (7-8) [8] Vegas controls their own destiny and makes the playoffs with a win over Brooklyn in week 16. If they lose, they can still back into the playoffs with a Montana lose to Miami. If Vegas loses coupled with a Montana win, they are eliminated. ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 8. Montana Grizzlies (7-8) [9] Montana needs to beat Miami and have Vegas lose to Brooklyn to make the playoffs ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
