Week 6 in the NFL Stableford League saw the introduction of the "Way Too Early" Playoff Picture. While it may be too early to predict who all 12 playoff teams will be, there are still four undefeated teams that are certainly getting closer to printing playoff tickets. The Ravens, Texans, Cowboys, and the Rams have been impressive thus far this season, but will complacency set in at some point? A prime candidate for that could be the Ravens. With a 5-game lead in their division, BENNY6676 will definitely have to be sure to guard against that. For the rest of the league, we've had some ownership changes along the way and this week was no different as OldSouled and steelerswillis have both joined the League recently as the Titans and Steelers respectively. Fun fact, the AFC has had five ownership changes to the NFC's one. In other news, there was another zero score this week. The League policy has been to give one mulligan and then to aggressively advertise any openings once it has been established that the position is available. I hope, no matter what your record is, that you are enjoying the League and having fun competing. Here are the key matchups for Week 7: In the NFC, playoff positioning is key as the 6-0 Rams ( CGib2 ) are at the 5-1 Falcons ( b101 ) and the 3-3 Cardinals ( CoinHen77 ) travel to the 4-2 Giants ( LEFTY79 ). Also, two important AFC East battles as the 2-3 Dolphins ( xcltaff1980 ) are at the 4-1 Bills ( Coniglio ) and the 3-3 Patriots ( moneyman273 ) visit the 3-2 Jets ( ddixjr509 ). Good luck to all teams in Week 7!

Awesome match, awesome course. This was so much fun and so infuriating at the same time. I don't think I missed a shot on the front nine, but somehow three putted from 15 feet on the 5th, then had a 5 footer hit the middle of the hole (relatively firmly, but not silly amounts) and lip out on 8 after driving the green. Gave myself a cushion before somehow three putting again when my 8 footer on the 14th rolled off the green. Needed a bogey to tie on the last, laid up to a full wedge and then had a mini heart attack when I saw there were something like three squares of yellow in the nine box around the pin lol. Took me a couple of minutes to commit to that last wedge shot - the most fun round of golf I've had on this game. I knew the score I had to get to and it just made me so nervous on the back nine. Thank heavens 16 was a perfect 2 iron distance! Just a top, top course, even if gamesdecent can't flatten tee boxes or sort out his illegal pins Be honest though, would you have even remembered 18 if it weren't for that pin? It's kind of a forgettable finisher, and the fact your match came down to that shot, you took it, and it worked probably made the round ten times as good. Which illustrates my point that I tried to make with Ol' Rocky Top - if there's a low side that you can play to and make birdie, is it really an illegal pin? If your approach landed above the hole and you had to putt it off the green, you'd probably say it's an illegal pin. If you landed it short and make an uphill birdie putt, then it's an exhilarating finish. I won't apologize for my greens, I wish I hadn't tamed Royal Bentleigh before releasing it. And as for the tee boxes, it's LIDAR, you'll have to blame the data lol. Oh no, I totally agree and wasn’t meant as a criticism (hoped you’d realise I was teasing!). You nailed it with how I felt on that approach to 18. The whole nine box thing doesn’t really matter to me in all honesty - we all know there are dodgy pins IRL. Tbh my bigger issue with 18 is that tee shot - it’s just a weird hole, let alone as a finisher. Almost feels like he forgot he needed an 18th and ran out of space. Had forgotten about this being Lidar - so damn immersive. Also, you know I love your greens - Marlette’s are basically a little Rocky Top homage. Good to have you back 🙂

Good to have you back 🙂 Yeah, it’s a really weird hole. If we had good Cypress tree objects it would be a lot better, but there are some cool pics of it IRL out there. I didn’t take offense, the whole post was complimentary. I played Marlette on stream last night with Eric and them, really good course and yeah, I think I said I felt like I was hitting into Ol’ Rocky Top greens a couple of times. Should do well in the contest.

About as well as I can play on this course. Annoyed to have bogeyed 15 and there's a couple of other putts that could have dropped, but really pleased with the birdies I made as there weren't that many gimme holes with that wind/pin combination.

Week 7 Chiefs @ Broncos 21 (41) As much as the Chiefs are struggling right now, I am too not having the best of my weeks at this society. I can’t believe the amount of opportunities I missed, just to reach this overtime, field goal victory. The greens were not of the kind I love, but the course was quite enjoyable 👍👍
