In my own league, I made the playoffs (after missing last year) and lost in round 1 after a monster comeback by the other team (I was up 65-9... and then he marched to a 69-65 win.) Had Tim Hightower got a 100 yard game (rush/rec.) I would have won.
In the other league, I was hanging on for dear life most of the season. My RB's were shit, my WR's wouldn't produce when they'd be starting, my damn kicker (Carney) gets benched and then cut. BUT, though the magic of waiver pickups, I managed to cut and pick up a new defense almost every week that would help me win. First it was Denver (who was on my roster,) then I cut then and picked up Tennesse D, Houston's D and this week it was Atlanta's D. Each one getting me 20 points or more... which carried me all the way to my 2nd championship!
