Real, for some reason.
Get out your pigpens and hide up your trunk-stoppers, 'cause we're playing mud-slapping football.

Round one of the playoffs does bring a matchup I feel good about, but I have been burned by confidence and projections before. Still though, my guys have gotten me this far, and they deserve my faith in them. I believe in the Cool Bear Guys. #CBG

Finished the regular season T-1st for 4th place, 2nd in points for, and 2nd in points against. Meaning my guys played phenomenally, they just happened to be in some of the most heated matchups of the season. But hey, we made it. Playoff season, boys, let's get to work. #CBG

Can't even be upset about this loss. My guys played well for the most part, we just got blown out by a historic performance. And it didn't affect my playoff position, so this was a throwaway. Still, though. A win would've been nice. #CBG

Whether they finalize their lineup remains to be seen (they're out of playoffs and just had a baby) but I'm going to finish strong. Meyers has been on the team since day one and has been on the bench all that time so I feel he's earned a start. Let's have a big-time regular season closeout. #CBG

Playoff spot clinched with one regular season game left after a nearly all-elite performance from my team. Hard not to feel good about that, but there's always the anxiety about losing the momentum. For now though, gonna enjoy this last week of pressure-free Fantasy. #CBG

Fortunately, these last two weeks bring matchups with two of the lowest-ranked teams. Not gonna underestimate them because that's when I get burned, but my guys have good matchups this week. Should hopefully be primed for an elite bounce back. #CBG

This one stings. Not gonna bog myself down with hindsight and instead just suck up this loss, but I held the lead until the end of the third quarter Monday, so I'm bummed. Not out of the playoff picture yet, but I definitely need the next two weeks to go my way. #CBG

Of course, coming off a historic performance is my toughest, most important battle of the season. The number one ranked team and I'm hit hard by the bye week. I'm not totally out if I lose this, and I'm not getting my hopes up for a win, so let's just get through this and hope for the best. #CBG

The highest-scoring performance of both any team this season, and of The Cool Bear Guys' six-year history. And I can't lie, it's hard not to feel good about that. The road to the playoffs isn't over yet, but this was a huge step on it. #CBG

Next two weeks are gonna prove difficult as I'm up against the third and first ranked teams respectively. I'm right on the playoff bubble and can still definitely slip, so these are crucial matchups. Good news is I'm definitely favored this week. Let's stay on top, gentlemen. #CBG

May have had my issues with Chase to start the season but he has solidified his elite position. This has been such a wild back-and-forth season but this was a pretty big boost by my guys. Keeping me alive and in fourth for now, but things can still go wrong. #CBG

I've long learned my lesson about trusting projections, but with how heavily my opponent has been hit by the bye week, it's hard not to have a bit of faith in this matchup. Desperately need a win here to stay in the playoff race, so hopefully it does end up being light work. #CBG

Bonafide fratricide. I was projecting a loss but this was a slaughter. My guys just did not show up this week and we took a huge hit. Fortunately, we're not knocked out of the playoffs just yet. But we are hanging on by a thread. Really gotta fight out these next few weeks. #CBG
November 20, 2024 at 5:15 PM
I'm not projecting a win this week, unfortunately, just based on the matchups of my players, and the fact that I'm up against one of the top teams in the league. These next few weeks are gonna be tense and this is a big one. Have at you, chump. #CBG

What was a projected cakewalk turned into a certified ass-kicking that I can't even be mad about. My guys played well for the most part, we just got outplayed this time. That's the way the cookie crumbles. Fortunately I'm still in the playoff picture. #CBG
November 20, 2024 at 5:15 PM
Not their finalized roster, but it won't see much improvement. Another soft matchup is definitely ideal right now. Traded away Harrison and Kraft for Bucky Irving as an insurance RB, and Pickens is back on the lineup with Wilson bombing it to him. Better days ahead? Fingers crossed. #CBG

This is the first win that I feel good about, truthfully. Definitely got lucky with the receiver showdown, but outside of that, I'm happy with how my team did. Good win against a good team and a big step up the leaderboard. Got some steam heading into next week now. #CBG

Projections are finally starting to represent my team more accurately, which makes me feel a little better going into this week. Still in a toss-up right now between Mayfield and Burrow, so we'll see. My team is by no means elite and this is a tough matchup, so let's just hope to eke out a win. #CBG

Huge regression and an ugly win, but still a win. Lost the TE and QB gamble once again and I think Harrison's gonna ride the bench for a while, but at least my playoff chances are improving. Still just the faintest glimmer of hope for my boys, so we'll keep fighting. #CBG
November 20, 2024 at 5:15 PM
Not finalized rosters for either of us - I'm predicting another week of Mixon out - but with the state of their team, I think I'm in a good position to succeed. Fingers crossed for a two week win streak and hopefully the start of an upswing. #CBG

Nice of my guys to give elite performances when I needed it the least, but hopefully it's a sign of better things to come. Thomas Jr. has earned the flex spot over Pickens and I'm hopeful he'll keep balling out. Kraft might be my TE1 going forward. Let's keep the momentum, boys. #CBG
