that's why you play 60 mins :P

can't show up for half the game gotta play the whole damn thing

[Doughboy]

True enough. I see the Saints having a pretty damn good year after that though. They may well be getting a bunch of my picks throughout the year.

Btwly speaking...I still love that woman in your sig.

[Sean]

I'm not gonna write off the saints but that was a pretty piss poor representation last night. Sure the game was tied at the half but what did the offense show against what was supposed to be a porous Colts D? The D didn't exactly shut down the Colts O either. Addai ran at will, Peyton while not stellar still finished around 50% completions with a TD, etc.

Old Drew had a decent game didn't he? I didn't get to watch every play being busy with work stuff. But he threw for right around 200 yards or so I thought. No clue as to what Deuce and Bush did though...

[Sean]

Most of that was garbage time stat padding in the 4th quarter.

[RichardCranium]

Brees did okay. There were a godawful amount of checkdown passes though.
McAllister had 10 rushes for 38 yards. Reggie Bush had 12 for 38. Bush is gonna give me an anurysm before the season is through though. His style of running his bullshit.

[Solkern]

Bree did shitty

he completed like 28-40
for a shitty 200 yards and 2 picks
manning did 18-30 or something for almost 300

[Snapp]

I'm totally winning. :D

[Sean of the Thread]

I'm not writing off the saints and they're on my hate list. Looks to me like our champs defense looked as good as it did in the post season.


I'll expect the Saints to do well based on Thursday's game.

[TheEschaton]

I know the Bills lost today, but think/pray/whatever for Kevin Everett (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3012007) tonight.

[Anebriated]

Im pretty bitter about the Eagles loss right now. That was a very sad game for our special teams. JR Reeds botched catch I can *sort* of understand as he had no reps in special teams while with the giants and it wasnt really part of his plans. Greg Lewis botching 2 is just unexcusable. Hes been taking reps all preseason and back into training camp. At least our D was able to stop the sad GB rushing attack.

[Sean of the Thread]

First week is always hardest to predict but Oakland and St Louis really disappointed me. Other than that I'm pretty happy.

[TheEschaton]

I don't know if you read that article, but we lost 4 players, 3 of them defensive starts. We had one knee injury....one broken arm to our starting safety, one broken ankle to our starting cornerback......oh, and our 2nd TE BROKE HIS FUCKING NECK.

[Anebriated]

ouch, bad luck in that game for the bills. Close game considering the injuries, and I had the Bronco's pegged in for a big win.

[Sean of the Thread]

I'm a Bills fan and picked Denver. Bills kept it much closer than I anticipated with some serious fucking set backs. Good game none the less.

[Recal]

Yea Eagles fan here too. Was surprised I got the game here, usually I don't. Saddest part is that the biggest controversy for the team was over the defense after cutting Trotter. Yet the Packers only scored 3 on an actual offensive drive I believe. That whole defense uneasiness overshadowed them cutting Bloom, who got almost all the reps at returning during PS.

It's like they waited to just before the game, picked GLewis and told him "oh by the way, return the punts." And the Reed one I saw as just as bad, since it should be pretty obvious to a pro player that if there's 4 guys right there and you have to dive for the ball while fair catch signalling you'd be better off letting it bounce. Especially seeing your teammate that you just replaced GOT replaced for doing the exact same thing and costing the team 7 points.

Since Lito got hurt today it's hard to tell what they'll do to get ready for next week. Pretty much a tossup between them using Westbrook or actually going to waivers (Lot of fans want Reno "fair catch" Mahe back). I doubt they'd try to get Bloom back, as that would be a pretty obvious admission of AR/FO that they seriously messed up.

[Anebriated]

Honestly I think JR Reed can handle the return load. We drafted him 2 years back to be a return specialist. He was phenomenal until he got injured middle of the year. When he was healthy he came with the 100% healthy questions and Andy Reid let him go in favor of his new draftee, Jeremy Bloom. Bloom went to IR and Mahe was given the job. Kind of a shitty situation but I think it can be dealt with.

On another note I dont really feel that Bloom did that poorly in the preseason. What hurt him the most was our putting all of the rookies in there to block for him on ST to see what they were made of and if they were worth keeping on the team. He had next to no blocking throughout the preseason games and ended up getting injured again at which point Andy just said his goodbyes.

[peam]

Eagles suck, thx.

[Anebriated]

no u?

This forum requires that you wait 30 seconds between posts. Please try again in 6 seconds. QQ

[Latrinsorm]

Annnnd here's how they stand:

11-3: RichardCranium
10-3: Peam
10-4: Latrinsorm, Anebriated, Alfster, Sergey, Sean2
9-4: Atlanteax
9-5: Celephais, Apathy, Gallows, Stunseed, Silvanostar, Bisco
8-6: Tsa`ah, Eschaton (promptly dq-ed for picking the Cowboys whom he allegedly hates), Solkern, Ardwen, Drinin
7-7: Ilvane, Ignot, Drew, Sean
6-8: Augie
5-9 (and not quite winning): Snapp, Bob

Given that this one looks to be going down to the wire (everyone 10-4 or better is still in it), I think it prudent to review the tiebreaker rule from last year: in the event of a tie, the winner is decided by whoever's tiebreaker is closest to the combined score without going over. http://forum.gsplayers.com/showpost.php?p=530365&postcount=66

[Doughboy]

Bah how the hell is Peam in second...he didn't pick a game! I'm calling shennanigans...or something.

[Anebriated]

RichardCranium - Ravens 49'ers / 51
Peam - Bengals 49'ers / 52
Latrinsorm - Bengals 49'ers / 46
Anebriated - Ravens Cardinals / 35
Alfster - Ravens Cardinals / 32
Sergey - Bengals Cardinals / 45
Sean2 - Bengals 49'ers / 42

[Anebriated]

Interesting split on the last games.

[Latrinsorm]

Bah how the hell is Peam in second...he didn't pick a game! I'm calling shennanigans...or something.He's second by % points. The week winner is determined by total # of wins, then tiebreaker (% irrelevant). That's why Daniel didn't win every week he put "Bears." as his picks post and they won.

Also, Xyelin's tiebreaker is 45, not 42. I would find it very amusing for the combined score to end up being 5 points or something.

I thought the whole shenanigans part would have made it clear I was joking...

[RichardCranium]

RichardCranium - Ravens 49'ers / 51
Peam - Bengals 49'ers / 52

Goddamnit.

[Anebriated]

Heh, thats what I said about Alfster's picks.. Both at 10-4. At least im above.


Anebriated - Ravens Cardinals / 35
Alfster - Ravens Cardinals / 32

[Latrinsorm]

I thought the whole shenanigans part would have made it clear I was joking...I swear to God I'll pistol whip the next person who says the word shenanigans. Does that sound like a joke to you??

[Anebriated]

Hey Farva what's the name of that restaurant you like with all the goofy shit on the walls and the mozzarella sticks?

[TheEschaton]

I do hate the Cowboys. Doesn't mean I can't hate the Giants more. Scott Norwood, anyone?

[Sean of the Thread]

::whistle::

[RichardCranium]

I have Chad Johnson, my opponent this week has Steve Mcnair and Willis McGahee. I'm up 101 to 70. At least my fantasy team is doing good.

[Anebriated]

Im down 99-81, only player left on either team is Boldin on my team. I only need him to catch like 2 TD's and 100 yds, too much to ask for?

[Bobmuhthol]

I'm down because of that fucking Dallas game, +37 points for Northern Gryphons from TO and Witten.

I need 12 points from Vernon Davis to win.

[RichardCranium]

I'm down because of that fucking Dallas game, +37 points for Northern Gryphons from TO and Witten.

I started Tony Homo this week in place of Philip Rivers.

[Bobmuhthol]

Someone has Romo and Rivers in our league and started Rivers. 3 points, LMAO!

[Sean of the Thread]

Better than Brees...

[RichardCranium]

Much.

I also started Braylon Edwards in place of Calvin Johnson.

[Anebriated]

Bree's screwed me over this week.

[Apathy]

I had Brees and Bush. Ugh.

Edge may still save me tonight...but I doubt it.

[Anebriated]

This is a good game going on right now.

[Sean of the Thread]

It's become a little more interesting I'll give you that.

[Apathy]

You can definitely tell this was opening week.

[RichardCranium]

Fucking perfect. Boller comes in so I win in picks and my fantasy league.

[Sean of the Thread]

Rofl win your picks.

[RichardCranium]

Pussy hurt?

[Sean of the Thread]

Of course not. I always beat you noobs at this anyways. It's fucking easy mode.

I just wasn't sure where your logic behind boeller coming in equates to you winning... if anything it took away from the Ravens chance.

[RichardCranium]

Because clearly this is the only place I pick each week. Easy mode is right.

You're right about Boeller though. That fucking guy sucks a lot of ass. I can't say much for the play calling either.

[Sean of the Thread]

My bad for thinking your were talking about your picks in this thread on this board. Go figure.


Rofl.

[RichardCranium]

I was.

[Anebriated]

Shitty, I went into mondays games thinking either one could go either way. Wish I had just picked the home teams...

[Latrinsorm]

Yeah, Xyelin won. Not a bad showing all the way around for the PC though, ~60%.

[Anebriated]

Ill take 10-6 any week.

[Sean of the Thread]

Yeah, Xyelin won. Not a bad showing all the way around for the PC though, ~60%.

MUAHAHAHHAHA.

:medieval:

[Drinin]

Not a bad start. Sloppy game last night for the Bengals, but a win is a win.

[Sean of the Thread]

Just wanted to bump this and encourage you guys to do start doing your homework for next week.. I want more of a challenge this year.

[Drinin]

Fuck, just got my sheet for this week already. Picking a sure-win for the survivor pool is looking tough. Denver over Oakland most likely. I'd take Cinci over the Browns, but I hate picking division games.

[Anebriated]

Uh, Id take anyone over the browns.

[Skeeter]

you may be safe just picking every browns opponent until they play someone twice.

[Sean of the Thread]

COLTS!
