NFL Last Man Standing Pick 'Em 2014

[Hoopz]

I ran this the last few years and Chad ran it the first few years.  I was going to post it later in August, but I'm bored at work today and may not have time next week to do it.

Rules are simple.  Choose one game each week.  Pick the winner.  If you are wrong you are eliminated from the game.  Last man standing wins.  I will keep track of everyone's picks each week and display them by editing this post. 

When making a pick, highlight it in the post, so that they're easier to pick out.  I don't want to miss anyone's pick.  If you don't know how to highlight it, copy somebody else's pick and change the color name if you want.

A pick must be made every week.  Failure to make a pick results in elimination.   Picks should be posted in this thread so that people have the ability to double check my work.

You cannot pick a game with the same team two weeks in a row.  If you pick the Rams over the Titans in week 2, you cannot use either the Rams game or the Titans game in week 3.  Having everyone help with this will eliminate the possibility of a mistake on my end on this item.  You can pick a team multiple times over the season. 

Entrant pool closes an hour preceding the game you want to pick.  That means that if you want to pick Thursday's game this week you must do so at least an hour before the game starts.  Forum timestamps will be binding.

Good luck to all.  As always my goal is to make it out of Week 1 this year.  And the winner does receive forum rep points.

Can I put $10 on the Cowboys and Texans to lose every one of their games this year?  Going to be a long season in Texas this year, while I flip to Cleveland games and mourn what could have been.

[Vigo]

  Football is officially here!

[Hoopz]

I'll take that for $10.    

At least the Cowboys will put up a lot of points since they have a good offense and will get the back so quickly since their defense is awful.  And Cleveland won't be good.

[Malenko]

I dont even know the first week schedule this year. glad you are running it again though! 

[pbj]

I nominate this for biggest NFL boner of the year award:

"Texans owner Bob McNair knew what he would get if his team had drafted Johnny Manziel.

"I knew with Manziel it would be a frenzy," McNair told ESPN.com. "And probably even if he didn't succeed at being an outstanding NFL quarterback for a couple years, the fans would have been frenzied.""


Here's to another 2 win season!  I'm sure you'll sell a lot of tickets!!

 

Runner up is the Cowboys throwing in their lot with Kyle Orton, who they now get to pay for doing nothing!

Won't happen.  Romo is the Bane of QBs.  He always offers just enough hope that this time it will be different.  This time it will be 11-5 and an NFC title game loss to SF.  Then he Romos and everybody in Dallas remembers.

Unless some miracle happens, I dont see the cowboys breaking an 8 win season , my uneducated guess is 7-9 tops (with 5-11 being more likely).  Which might be good enough to make the play offs in the NFC LEast.

[Hoopz]

Their defense is terrible and if Romo's back isn't 100% after the surgery, they're toast. Even if his back is good, they can't stop anyone.  5 or 6 wins max.  They'll put up a crap ton of points though since their defense will be raped all season.

The Cowboys will finish 8-8 AGAIN, lose the NFC East on the last game of the season, and Jerry will give Garrett a 5 year extension.

[pbj]

There's this weird sentiment going around lately about how Romo's got great fourth quarter stats.  Putting aside that bloggers are making that argument are doing it primarily for the comment outrage and ad clicks, I think they're missing the point.  Nobody ever argued the guy couldn't make plays, he just chokes on the key play where we need him.  Consistently.  For a decade.

[yotsuya]

[Malenko]

[pbj]

Cross out "BIG" and that'd be more accurate.

[BadMouth]

Patriots  over  Dolphins

Gonna try to last more than 3 weeks this year.

The QB always has great stats in the fourth quarter on a losing team.  They spend the whole fourth quarter throwing the ball around to catch up.  That's how a guy like Romo ends up with all those 300 yard games.  If the Cowboys were better he would be working the clock instead of the sidelines.

[yotsuya]

Looks like ol' Tony is already in mid-season form.

[pbj]

Line sure has jumped around on that Steelers game.  Guess we'll see how that one shakes out....

[wp34]

Keep screwing that chicken

Now I understand what is going on in your avatar.

[Matthew Anderson]

Week 1


Philadelphia over Jacksonville.

[Hoopz]

Dropping like flies already.  And it'd be worse if the Eagles hadn't have come back.

And Dallas' stadium looks like a Niners home game.  I've never seen so many visitors at a Cowboys home game.

PBJ is still breathing but not sure he wants to be.  Bless tony romo, he has taught me the beauty of suffering.

[chopps]
