The 49ers out scored the the Panthers and still lost while the Panthers won. It's football, it happens. Some games are shootouts, some low scoring. The top 6 winning idea is just ludicrous to me and something I personally would never be a part of.

I forgot. This was the other argument that one other guy made. Not playing head to head isn't like real football. I hate to break it to you, but it isn't real football in the first place. It is a completely separate made up game that is based off of what is happening in real life. This game is different and made with its own set of rules that are entirely separate from the real game of football. I don't know why you feel like you have to settle with not trying to make it as fair and skill based as possible. There are no inherent restraints saying it has to be as superficially like real football as possible.
In real football, the saints and 49ers had a defense and actually can influence their opponent. IT makes sense that their offensive production be matched next to each other. In fantasy, two teams are just arbitrarily put next to each other, and that is called a match.
This isn't football. It's a game all its own.

It blows my mind that some people actually think like this. If you can't see the difference between an actual football game where a team's offense and defense play against an opponent vs. what happens in fantasy where you set your lineup and have absolutely no control over what your opponent scores then I feel sorry for you.
The only thing you can control in fantasy is scoring points with your players. You have no influence on limiting your opponent. Now you tell me why its not ludicrous for a person to put together a fantasy team that scores 80 points and he gets a win because the "schedule" just so happened to pair him up with an equally terribly managed team that scores 70, meanwhile a strong team scores 130 points and just so happens to be "scheduled" against a team that goes bonkers and scores the most points that week. You're gonna seriously sit there and tell me that 80 point team earned a "win" that week while 130 point team earned the "loss"... and then on top of that justify it by comparing it to an actual football game.
I find that line of thought illogical and ridiculous.
