re: Anyone likes the idea of this fantasy format....

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.

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.
