Well, a 3 game winning streak is a good way to go out as GM. 7-9, one win short of a new contract.


I vote for you to stay. I realize you have only one winning season, but I haven’t officially beat you yet :) kidding, but I do think it would be a mistake to let a good owner go.


Lol, the league is more fun with you as well.

Good game Arizona....seems this season was a step back for both of our teams.

Curiosity got the best of me....overall...your Chargers lead the series 10 -13...regular season: Chargers 12-8....playoffs: Raiders 2-1. It's been a great rivalry with a lot of big games.

Congratz to jgcruz/Chargers for another division title.

Congratz to MM for making the playoffs. The Raiders went 6-2 to finish the season and both losses were to your Chiefs, another great rivalry.

I'll be pulling for my AFC West rivals/comrades in the playoffs.

Meanwhile...the Raiders and Denver will be back at the home office trying to figure out where it all went wrong.

I can't speak for Arizona. Honestly, If not for that terrible sim in our last meeting ...I think you get the WC and for the Bronco's to pull Seattle on the last week was in our favor as well. It's a;ways tough in the AFC west and any time we get a leg up on the Raiders/Wolveraider is a real blessing...Possibly a miracle, add into that the beercloud jinx...and we have the perfect storm. LOL. The best part of this outcome is that I can keep my job and rebuild so we can continue this exercise for a few more seasons. When Gdadb and beercloud invited me to this league I wasn't sure I could compete. My first PO appearance was largely due to the team that seth had built..and I was ok with that as a newb..but as I later discovered I was in the toughest division in the league....to all the GM's out there whether you made the post season or not. It's always an honor to be part of this league............................MM

Thanks, Wolveraider.

I think The Chargers have won the most games all-time in Paydirt without ever winning a Super Bowl. That makes me both the biggest winner and loser at the same time. ;-)

With all due respect to the AFC GMs, I think the balance of power in the league has shifted to the NFC this season. But we (the AFC representative) will show up and see what happens.

Congrats and GL to the rest of the playoff teams.

The Paydirt Report: Week 16

The stage is set and the actors have take their places. Let the show begin.

The Kansas City Chiefs stamp the last ticket to the dance with a win over the 49ers. Oakland wins over Arizona but loses out on the tie breaker. The Chiefs got a slow start but steadied the ship and went on a nice run in the middle of the season which catapulted them into contention. The Raiders had a similar start to the season and finish strong only to come up short. Denver had a great season going but fell apart late losing their last 3 in a row to close the season out.

The other big story in week 16 was the Game of the Week. Green Bay won a thriller over Detroit 44-41. The Lions still win the division by a deep tie breaker. It is their 4th NFC North division title. One short of Green Bays 5. These two will face off again in the Wild Card round. Cant wait for that.

Congrats to San Diego, Miami, Cincinnati, Houston, Dallas, Seattle, Detroit and Tampa Bay on their division championships. San Diego and Seattle have the home field advantages while Miami and Tampa Bay earned a first round bye.

Good Game Cowboys, surprised my team played as badly as they did.. Especially Sheets who was on fire all year up until this game. Your team simply outplayed us. Good Luck rest of the way!

GG Texans/Salty, A real close one for the most part. We did get the benefits of the 4.5 curse. your team did well in overcoming them and keeping it close. I was surprised that there was no scoring in the second half? I was sweating the whole game. Congrats on a great season and your first division Championship you've done wonders turning that team around and I'm sure that
you have a bright future ahead......................MM
