Last night marked the conclusion of my leagues' semi-finals. The way one of the matchups went down got me thinking about if there could possibly be a worse way to be ousted from FF playoffs and lose a chance at $1,000 than what happened to this poor son of a bitch.
Team 1 had ~20 point cushion heading into monday night. Team 1 had no players left, while Team 2 had Jamison Crowder, Jonathan Stewart, and Dustin Hopkins (Redskins Kicker). Stewart is steadily racking up yards, the kicker kicks a couple FGs (and misses a PAT) and Crowder has like 2 points going into the 4th quarter.
~5 minutes left in the game, Team 1 is up by 2 points (20 yards), Panthers have the ball. Stewart buries him with a 34 yard run. Watched all game just to be buried in the last 5 minutes. Team 1 guy is relentlessly raging in our leagues group chat. Team 2 guy is bringing up hypothetical scenarios about one of his guys fumbling the ball, or some other ridiculous shit, in the last moments of the game, just to try to lighten the mood and console this poor bastard. For those who watched, you know where this is going.
So what happens? Jamison Crowder catches a short pass and fucking fumbles the ball with around a minute to go. -2 points. Team 2 was up by 1.83 POINTS. Team 1 wins by 0.17 POINTS. Jonathan Stewart had just killed this man, and Jamison Crowder came and brought the paddles out. Haven't heard from Team 2 since last night, may very well have hung himself.
Apologies for the wall of text. Felt compelled to share just to know exactly how ridiculous this scenario was. Have any of you suffered a similarly heartbreaking fantasy playoff defeat, or worse, at the hands of the football gods?
