...

[Drew]

Holy crap Latrinsorm, you're picking my Dolphins? I was thinking about picking against my own team and now you might force me to pick them.

[Latrinsorm]

The only time I'll pick Patriots is maybe if they play the Raiders or probably if they play the East Montana Trotskyites.

Eesh. I think I'm going to have a brilliant week, or this week is going to sink my chances on catching up to Ardwen.

BTW, since the 1st quarter of the season is over, let's get some stats for the picker-sters?

[Drinin]

--Eesh. I think I'm going to have a brilliant week, or this week is going to sink my chances on catching up to Ardwen.

If you go under, you're taking me down with you. The only differing game was the K.C.-Arizona game. In hindsight, I probably should've taken K.C. Leinart's first start worries me.

[Daniel]

BEARS

[Apathy]

Why do people think Arizona is going to suddenly win because they're starting Leinart? Arizona's O-line is horrible, it doesn't matter who's taking the snaps.

[Latrinsorm]

[Sean of the Thread]

[crazymage]

[Daniel]

How do I not get credit for my weekly bears pick?

[Drew]

Chicago
Carolina
Detroit
Miami
St. Louis
New Orleans
Indianapolis
N.Y. Giants
Kansas City

[RichardCranium]

Drew you need a Monday night tie-breaker.

[Sean of the Thread]

Colts
Giants
Vikes
Saints
Rams
Patsy
Bears
Panthers
Jags
Chefs
49ers
Eggles
Chargers
Broncos 33

[Drinin]

I'm sitting at 36 wins for the year, not too bad I guess.

[Drew]

Drew you need a Monday night tie-breaker.

I really have no idea what that is so I will say 17.

[RichardCranium]

You guess the point total of both teams final scores without going over to determine a tie-breaker should you and another person/s end the weekend with the same win/loss record.

[RichardCranium]

Da Bears.

Also, Reggie Bush ftw. Literally.

[Latrinsorm]

Exceptionally good picks this week. Every single game so far has been accurately predicted by the PC majority. (San Diego and Baltimore are favored for the two night games, although Baltimore [9-7] is the closest.)

After 12, here's where they stand:
Xyelin: 12-0(!!!)
Stunseed, RichardCranium, Usurper, Ardwen: 11-1
Drew, cakewitharse, Sergey, Drinin, Latrinsorm, Atlanteax, Alfster, Eschaton: 10-2
peam: 9-3
Apathy: 8-4
Wezas: 6-6 (including inexplicably picking the Titans against the Colts who promptly almost gave the game away)

In any event, we are guaranteed a 13 game winner, meaning it's between the first 5 to decide who wins this week.

[RichardCranium]

Fucking Giants.

[Sean of the Thread]

I'm money like that.

[RichardCranium]

Yeah but you picked the Broncos. And I take the tie-breaker.

[Sean of the Thread]

You take the tie breaker only if the score is 28 or under... and that only matters if the ravens win..which they will not.

[RichardCranium]

Like I said...

I win.

[Sean of the Thread]

Well you've shown your math and logic skills to be outstanding thus far! I wish you the best monday night.

[RichardCranium]

And to you.

MOTHERFUCKING

I'll have to refer you to post #33 of this thread.

[TheEschaton]

The Bears kicked our ass solid. If I didn't have the need to pick Bills no matter what, I'd be 11-1 with the rest of you.

Didn't believe the Bears hype before this, but they fucking bitch slapped us like a red headed stepchild.

Holy shit. I'm still reeling and the game ended 5 hours ago.

-TheE-

[Sean of the Thread]

Bills had hype at 2-2?????



*edited for late night slip and typed BEARS where I had clearly meant Bills.

[TheEschaton]

Ummm, the Bears, after spanking our ass today, are now 5-0.

-TheE-

[crazymage]

'our' ass? did you go suitup today? i must have missed that.

[TheEschaton]

I had friends from Wayne NJ my freshman year of college who ridiculed me for the same thing. They were Giants fans. They suck.

When I say "our", I imply I am a member of the team. In Buffalo, on our wall of fame, we have all sorts of greats up there, including Jack Kemp, and Jimbo. Right in the center of that wall of fame, is The 12th Man. Buffalo fans are the center of the team. The Buffalo Bills aren't complete without their fans.

So fuck you and your naysaying.

What are you, on your period?

-TheE-

[Daniel]

Bears had hype at 2-2?????

I don't even know how to respond.

Well, there's no need. Blasphemers tend to go to hell anyway.

[crazymage]

Well Bills could use a 12th man on the field maybe they could stop somebody from scoring that way.

[Stunseed]

Good thing Drew drafted them in the second round!!!one

LOLZ

Rofl. Stick a fork in Marv btw. JIM KELLY 4 COACH YO.

[TheEschaton]

We'll still finish second in the AFC East, I guarantee it.

[Sean of the Thread]

We'll still finish second in the AFC East, I guarantee it.

I think they might actually give a trophy for that.

Please die (non-fatally) in a fire.

PS: I met the President of CBS Sportsline a bit ago and he told me there was nothing he could do for my fantasy team :(

[Anebriated]

'our' ass? did you go suitup today? i must have missed that.

Honestly this is the dumbest retort possible when it comes to sporting events and message boards. People are fans. They are the 12th man on the football field, the 10th on the baseball diamond and the 7th in the hockey rink.

[Sean of the Thread]

Show me your paycheck from the Bills then and PROVE IT!

[Skeeter]

I prefer to be teh 3rd man on the pingpong table.

[crazymage]

Seriously... Most people know i'm a die hard patriots fans, not once have i ever said 'we totally kicked ass' used myself in any form as part of the team. It's always They, because They're the ones making millions, They're the ones risking life and limb not me. Do I enjoy every bit of it? Fuck yeah I do, Do I think they give a ratsass if I consider myself 'the 12th man on the field' ROFL NO.

[Sean of the Thread]

Get out of my thread. This thread is to be used for basking in a 13-0 pickem week o' pwnnnn only.

[Latrinsorm]

Not that I want to encourage you, but 14-0.

In all, the PC was 78.6% accurate, and 13/14 on majority game picks. Pretty good week (almost) all around.

[Alfster]

Get out of my thread. This thread is to be used for basking in a 13-0 pickem week o' pwnnnn only.

how were you against the spread?

[Apathy]

Note to self: Stop picking Oakland.

[Drew]

I love how even on a week of easy picks Wezas still ended up under .500

Just copy someone elses picks Wezas. Anyones. You are guanteed to do better.

[Sean of the Thread]

how were you against the spread?

Not counting the 3 pushes I was 3-1.
