[Brando19]

I'll suck at it, also...Red...but I'm in.

[MJZiggy]

It's good for a week's entertainment. I think my record is 2 weeks...lol.

[KYPack]

In.

I would like to formally protest last season's competition.

There is NO WAY the sorry-ass Rams could go into Washington and best the SB bound Skins. This allowed that Rat, GBR to win the thing. It was fixed, I'll tell ya.

[GrnBay007]

LOL hey, you got a gold bar under your name....settle down! :P

[KYPack]

LOL hey, you got a gold bar under your name....settle down! :P

Yeah, maybe I'm a sore loser, but somethin' was fishy, I'll tell ya!

[pbmax]

In. Like Kramer in the Contest, I 'll be out before Week 1 is done.

[Jimx29]

whelp, since all of you are going to suck, I suppose i'll get in :)

[mngolf19]

It's good for a week's entertainment. I think my record is 2 weeks...lol.

It was ugly KY....got my pick in.....

[jmbarnes101]

I'll try it this year but I usually stink at these things.

[CaliforniaCheez]

In.

It is tough to bet your very existance on a football game.

[MJZiggy]

The season started over an hour ago. Am I dead yet?

[Tarlam!]

I am. I forgot!

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

I forgot as well!

[Badgerinmaine]

Well, having picked the Patriots over Buffalo, I thought I was dead...but a furious late rally has kept me alive to pick another day!

[GrnBay007]

Well, having picked the Patriots over Buffalo, I thought I was dead...but a furious late rally has kept me alive to pick another day!

Yep...lol I thought we were going to lose 4 tonight.

[GBRulz]

I forgot that there was a game on Thursday. No chance to defend my title this year!! Good luck everyone.

[GrnBay007]

I forgot that there was a game on Thursday. No chance to defend my title this year!! Good luck everyone.

KYPack is breathing a sigh of relief...lol :P

[GrnBay007]

We started out with 51 and now have 43 remaining.


Don't forget to make your picks at least 5 minutes before the first game on Sunday!

[GrnBay007]

Wow! Lost 18 today. Many took the Packers this week. Bummer x2.

[CaliforniaCheez]

Well I lasted twice as long as last year.

I picked the Packers as a sure thing against the Bungles.

[MJZiggy]

The friggin' Steelers did me in. Two weeks. About as I predicted. lol.

[bbbffl66]

Changed my pick from Steelers to Pack. That sure helped! :roll:

[Rastak]

I went the safe route and took the Vikings. :)

[Brando19]

I took the skins. I barely got by on that one....9-7 final score against the Rams.

[Badgerinmaine]

I took the skins. I barely got by on that one....9-7 final score against the Rams.
Brando--Me, too. I didn't realize until after the first week that you can't repeat a team as a pick, so I thought this was a good week to take Washington.

Brando--Me, too. I didn't realize until after the first week that you can't repeat a team as a pick, so I thought this was a good week to take Washington.

I think I'll just keep picking the team that plays the Rams...I picked the Packers for this coming up week.

[Badgerinmaine]

I think I'll just keep picking the team that plays the Rams...I picked the Packers for this coming up week.
:D
Not a bad strategy...thought the Pack took out a huge chunk of our pool this week. I can't stand the Ravens--I worked in Cleveland the three years the Browns were gone--but they look like a good play this week.

[Packerarcher]

Come on guys/gals it isn't rocket science,now I suppose I jinxed myself. :)

[AtlPackFan]

I think I'll just keep picking the team that plays the Rams...I picked the Packers for this coming up week.

I agree...Baltimore is my pick this week.

I was going to take the Pack this week but after I flew 2 hours from Atlanta to see the Packers play in Lambeau...the first time for me in 35 years...and then watched them lay that egg on the field, I can't bring myself to pick the Pack.

[GrnBay007]

Week 3 and 24 survivors remaining!


DON'T FORGET TO MAKE YOUR PICK FOR THE WEEK!!

[GrnBay007]

Lost 2 this week. 22 remaining!

[Guiness]

Tough week - I've used the Giants. Houston is a heavy favorite over Oakland, but their play has been spotty. Looking at SF over St-L, and maybe picking Chicago???

edit: I see Gore is out. No way am I looking at SF, I expect the line will change drastically with that.

[Badgerinmaine]

I agree it is a tough week. I haven't burned Big Blue yet and might use them. How about the Bengals over Cleveland?

[AtlPackFan]

Crap. I picked SanFran. I figured Gore was out for most of the Vikings game and if I'm not mistaken, this game is home. The only other one I can see that I would take a flyer on is the Giants.

Oh well...roll the dice. I'm already in this 2 weeks later than I thought I would be.

[The Leaper]

Indy or SF seem very safe picks IMO.

[Sparkey]

I agree it is a tough week. I haven't burned Big Blue yet and might use them. How about the Bengals over Cleveland?

I have the Giants this week. My pool started out with 50 people and is down to 6. (Packers/Bengals week eliminated 12 people along.)

assuming a Giants win, I will have used Baltimore/Minnesota/Dallas/NY

[GrnBay007]

DON'T FORGET TO MAKE YOUR PICK FOR THE WEEK!!

[GrnBay007]

Only lost 1 this week and that was due to someone not making a pick. 21 remaining.

Rats are hot this year. Anyone remember what week this ended last year? It was pretty early if I remember right.

[gex]

I'm still alive in it! I noticed a few other teams have picked the same 4 winners.

[The Leaper]

Indy or SF seem very safe picks IMO.

You are welcome, pansies.

No more freebies from me this year.

[GrnBay007]

REMINDER....

Don't forget to make your pick for the week!

Some easy ones this week ....if you haven't already used them. :P

[Badgerinmaine]

I messed up last week and didn't get my pick in, so I'll see you all next year...

[GrnBay007]

I messed up last week and didn't get my pick in, so I'll see you all next year...

I know ... and it was weird because you were talking about the games a few days prior. :(

BTW don't mean to be obnoxious with bumping this thread...but hope it will remind people. I've been in pools before and just spaced off putting in a pick and it stinks.

[KYPack]

Only lost 1 this week and that was due to someone not making a pick. 21 remaining.

Rats are hot this year. Anyone remember what week this ended last year? It was pretty early if I remember right.

It was the 6th week. Washington got beat at home by the sorry-ass Rams. Me and 5 other fools picked 'em and GBM (R?) won the thing. By NOT picking the Skins.

I've never gone 8 weeks in one of these things, but I'm trying. This is when it gets tough. You can't use the strong clubs again, and have to pick winners from the medium teams.

One thing that is goofy about this pool is when it is over, it just self destructs. Nobody can access it and there is no "announcement" of the winner or anything.

[GrnBay007]

Wow, nobody took Baltimore today! Remain w/ 21 in.

[Rastak]

Wow, nobody took Baltimore today! Remain w/ 21 in.

I took 'em week one.

[Brando19]

I took Dallas today. :shock: I'm glad they squeeked a win out over the mighty Chiefs!

[Rastak]

I took Dallas today. :shock: I'm glad they squeeked a win out over the mighty Chiefs!


Dude, you squeeked by two weeks in a row!

[KYPack]

Somebodies gonna take Cleve or Det and win the whole deal.

We all learned how to not take the trap game, I guess

[Brando19]

I took Dallas today. :shock: I'm glad they squeeked a win out over the mighty Chiefs!


Dude, you squeeked by two weeks in a row!

:lol: Last week with the Cincy win in OT and this week with the Cowboys win in OT...haha...hmmm...my pick is in for next week. Philly over Oakland. Surely that one can't go to OT.

[Charles Woodson]

dude come on, no one lost this week -_- is there a prize this year?

[KYPack]

It will thin out. Everybody has used up their power picks and have to pick lesser teams.

If Dallas had lost to KC, you'd have seen a bunch fall I imagine.

[GrnBay007]

It will thin out. Everybody has used up their power picks and have to pick lesser teams.

If Dallas had lost to KC, you'd have seen a bunch fall I imagine.

Yep, the next few weeks will be fun. :D

There were 4 on Dallas yesterday and 7 on NYG.

Kinda interesting, of the 21 remaining only 4 have used Indy so far.

A lot of people used Baltimore in week 3.

[retailguy]

It will thin out. Everybody has used up their power picks and have to pick lesser teams.

If Dallas had lost to KC, you'd have seen a bunch fall I imagine.


It is gonna get A LOT tougher in the next 3 weeks. Might be over by then...

Last year, wasn't it done by now?

[AtlPackFan]

If the Packers lose this week, my season in the Survival league might not be the only season over.

[Guiness]

It will thin out. Everybody has used up their power picks and have to pick lesser teams.

If Dallas had lost to KC, you'd have seen a bunch fall I imagine.

NYG losing woulda punted more than Dallas this week. I would've taken them, but had them over Tampa in week 3...I also used Baltimore week 1.

I did get a sleeper in, and lucky. Used Washington over St-L, so that's my freebie.

IMO there's more games that should be cut and dried than tough picks this week. I'd stay away from SD-Den, Chi-Atl, NO-NYG and probably Minn-Balt and you should be ok. I guess TB-Car too.

[GrnBay007]

Bump as a REMINDER to make your pick for the week

[The Leaper]

I don't know if it will thin out all that much...with Detroit, St Louis, Washington, Cleveland and Oakland all being SO BAD.

Of those 5 teams, I don't see much more than 12-15 wins this year. BAD!

[Brando19]

Well.....I'm toast. I've squeeked by a few weeks, but I thought for sure the Eagles would absolutely slaughter the Raiders. What a joke. Nice playing this year.

[Rastak]

Well.....I'm toast. I've squeeked by a few weeks, but I thought for sure the Eagles would absolutely slaughter the Raiders. What a joke. Nice playing this year.


I would have thought that was a safe bet for sure.

I know! I guess that goes to show you never know in the NFL.

[MJZiggy]

Who's left?

[Charles Woodson]

man that sucks, i squeaked by with jaguars over rams

[GrnBay007]

I'm out :( along with 4 others. One person has SD tomorrow night.

16 left.

[AtlPackFan]

Who's left?

I'm still in...I took the Pack this week. Though I wonder if I still would be if Detroit had Stafford, Johnson and a healthy D-line...although the D-line got to Aaron anyway. :cry:

[Guiness]

I don't know if it will thin out all that much...with Detroit, St Louis, Washington, Cleveland and Oakland all being SO BAD.

Oops. Philly claimed 4 victims.

Get your picks in folks! 35 down, 15 left!

[GrnBay007]

Don't forget to make your picks!!

15 left. Could see them dropping quickly from here on out.



In my $$ Survival pool I started out with 4 picks and am down to 1. Gonna have to take NE or Packers this week. :?:

[GrnBay007]

WOW, I just learned the $$ Survival Pool I'm in still has 171 people in it!! Holy Shitsky!!

Nice pot at the end of the rainbow......if I make it.

[GrnBay007]

Denver knocked out 15% of all the remaining players in yahoo land.
I hate the Broncos... just didn't want to use Saints, New England or Steelers yet. I had the plan lined out... doh!

Too bad about your $ pool. I have another one going with double elimination.

[GrnBay007]

Too bad about your $ pool. I have another one going with double elimination.

Yeah, goodbye 4500 :(

I decided the on the Jets early in the week and then for like an hour before the early games was dwelling on it before I made the pick. Was leaning to Arizona but then decided to go with my first thoughts...........Jets. ugh Oh well, one of these years I'll win it. lol

[red]

wow, short passes and runs hooray

that should be enough of that, time to air it out

[red]

KC pulled it out in OT! So just me and super left.

I've got New Orleans left, but won't be using them THIS week. Don't like Miami on the road in Buffalo this week. Mmmm.....

[red]

its still showing me as winning even though i picker cinci. it still says correct

so i'm not throwing in the towel yet

[AtlPackFan]

Well, I lasted about 7 more weeks than I thought I would. Good luck Guiness and superfan!!!

[superfan]

I'm just amazed I lasted this long. I haven't exactly been saving the best teams for the end of the season, should be some tough sledding from here on out.

Depressing to find myself rooting for Romo and the Cowboys to bail me out last Sunday...

[KYPack]

Good job, boys.

Now I'm rooting for you two to make in thru the season!

[Guiness]

Through the season lol!
That would be something else!

I'd trash talk ya Super, but I got nothing.

[superfan]

Through the season lol!
That would be something else!

I'd trash talk ya Super, but I got nothing.

Trash talking is unnecessary, we should work together so we can both run the table.

In the spirit of cooperation, here are my suggested picks for you over the next couple weeks:

Week 12 - Oakland (@ Dallas)
Week 13 - Detroit (@ Cincinnati)
Week 14 - Cleveland (hosting Pittsburgh)

Good luck! :P

[GrnBay007]

8-)

You're such a pal! In the spirit of this co-operation, I'd suggest Washington over New Orleans as a slam dunk next week...

I see you've got Cinci - I couldn't take them, I had them (over Cleveland!) week 4. Dallas (ptui!) is my pick this week. No way Oakland pulls one out of the hat two weeks in a row, I hope Jamarcus is ready to go!!!

[woodbuck27]

With the Bengals and Steelers loss today we are down to 2 players left!!!

Guiness

All of Canada's hopes lie with you Guiness. No pressure though. :D

Congratulations to both you and Superfan.

Tx Woodbuck.

If only I could pick the Alouettes!

[GrnBay007]

Cincy wins today and the pool goes another week.

[GrnBay007]

Guiness and Superfan still alive!!

[MJZiggy]

Guiness and Superfan still alive!! :worship:

[KYPack]

I am very impresssed by you two pinheads.

Good luck next week.

It's very impressive to go this long.

[Guiness]

See how impressed you are after this coming week when I'm looking down the barrel of picking a team with a losing record!!!

Lesse, I've got Buffalo, TB, Cleveland, Detroit left. Oh...and Kansas. How complete is Denver's collapse? Anyone? Bueller?

[GrnBay007]

Guiness - New Orleans

2 pretty safe picks. Did you guys plan well, or what???

NICE!

NICE!

Looks like it should go another week assuming that your correct 007. You usually are.

Week 13:

NO @ Washington

Oakland @ Pittsburg

Then the shit hits the fan. :D

[Guiness]

My first choice was Carolina at Tampa, leaving me NO at Atlanta next week. But yes, I did settle on New Orleans, because Tampa and Cleveland are on the road next week...!

[GrnBay007]

Well...

If NO loses does this end in a tie? Or do the two keep playing? Can't find anything in the rules about that.

Superfan's Steelers lost in the final minutes.

[superfan]

Just goes to show that no pick is truly safe. Oakland wins at Pittsburgh to knock me out - ouch.

New Orleans is heading into overtime. I say Guiness is the winner - regardless of the outcome of the NO game, at this time he is still alive and everybody else is eliminated, so he should be the winner.

[Brando19]

Congratulations, Guiness! Awesome win this year.

Moot point but I would have disagreed. The winner is the dude or dudette who lasts the most "weeks" so I would have declared a co-winners were it up to me....but point is rendered moot.


Great job Guiness!

[MJZiggy]

Congrats, Guinness, Do you get to keep picking so we can see how long it takes you to miss one?

[red]

nice job guiness

[Guiness]

*takes bow with half smirk on his face*

Thanks all - and well played Superfan. I don't think I've ever seen a survival pool go this long.

Oakland beat Pitt at home. Ya, coulda made money on that one in Vegas!!!

[GrnBay007]

Congrats Guiness!!!!

I'm still alive with SEVEN people in one. We started the year with 68 entries at $50 a pop. 4 people had the Bears today so I was cheering against them more than normal....as it turned out no one was eliminated.

[gex]

Congratulations, Guiness :D

[KYPack]

I third that motion, Guiness.

This year had a ton of upsets, to make it this long is impressive.

Way to go, G.

[superfan]

Nice job, Guiness. If the site will let you, see how far you can keep going - running the table would be outstanding.

If the site doesn't let you and if you are up for it, it would be fun for you to continue posting your picks in this thread, just for fun to see if you can make it through all 17 weeks. That would be an incredible accomplishment.

Is this your final answer? :P

[Guiness]

Ah! you made me look, I didn't think it was an early game...

Yes, going with Ten over St-L. Lesse what happens.

Yahoo already has that pick marked off as correct 8)

When do I get my cute little banner to put under my name? I've been envious ever since Red KO'd me in the FF final a couple of years ago :cry:

Guiness survives another week!! :tup:

[GrnBay007]

Who are you picking this week Guiness? Can't quit now. :D

[Guiness]

harder, because Yahoo won't let me do it over there!

I've used:
Baltimore, Washington, NYG, Cin, Pitt, Packers, NE, San Diego, Indi, Minn, Arizona, Dallas, New Orleans, Tenn.

This leaves me:
Det (ha!), Cleveland, Chi, Buff (ha, ha!), Oak (triple ha!), Tampa (not going there), St-L and KC that you just can't pick.
Someone put it well earlier in this thread as the reason this pool lasted so long, you can count on those team to take the pipe pretty much every week.

Teams that are at least at times competitive are Denver (mmmm), Atl, Carolina, SF and Seattle

Teams looking ok or better: Miami, Phil (looking stronger every week), Jax, NYJ and Houston

So this week...almost all my 'pipe' teams are playing teams I've got left - Tampa at Seattle, Houston at St-L, Oakland at Denver. There's also Philli at San Fran which is a solid play.

Going with Houston. Leaned towards Philli, but Housto it is!
