NFL Last Man Standing 2017 - Ian wins!!!!

[Cakemeister]

Hoopz, Malenko, and Chad have run this game in the past and Malenko gave me permission to run it this year. Hopefully people see this post so we can have a decent turnout.

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.

Please make your selections in a bold color by using the glow icon, for example: "Week 1: MyTeam over YourTeam"

[Cakemeister]

I will go first.

Week 1: Texans over Jaguars

[JimmyU]

Falcons over the Bears.

[pbj]

Won't touch that Giants/Cowboys game with a 10 foot pole.  They like embarrassing us at home.  The whole situation with Ezekiel makes me very uneasy and frankly I wish he'd just suck it up and sit out the next 6 games.

week 1 Buffalo Bills defeat New York Jets

[JMB]

Week1: PIT over CLE

At least this way if I get knocked out in week 1 again I'll still feel good about it.

[Malenko]

I haven't really followed the league in a couple years but Im pretty sure the Panthers over 49ers is a safe bet.

[wp34]

Bears over the Falcons.

Go big or go home.

[markrvp]

I will "go big or go home"

Week 1

[pbj]

Damn, too bad none of you took the Patriots bait....

[Cakemeister]

[JMB]

Updated!

Texans game ought to be a shitshow tonight.  I'll sip cider and pretend to care.

Left satisfied.  Though I suppose they really should have thrown a flag on JJ Watt at the end and had another untimed play.  Oh well.

[Ian]

My Packers.... good god. That was a terrible showing. 

[harveybirdman]

Atlanta didn't play well either, we were lucky GB had so many injuries.... But I guess I'll take the win.

Really hope Beasley recovers as well because it was obvious when he went out.

Either way I am sure these two teams will meet again down the stretch. Glad the Falcons aren't in the Central division!

[pbj]

Touché     I feel dirty even picking the Pats

Yeah, but JJ Watt!  Clowney! 

 

Yeah, that game is going to be like 35-10.

[Malenko]

so Im not picking any more Rams games this year

[pbj]

Refs did everything they could for the Patriots.  Guess Goodell decided they're winning another super bowl.

 

[Cakemeister]

I agree that the refs are Patriots fans, but the Texans defense needed to make a play on the last drive.

[Ian]

Wow... those Packers. 

[pbj]

Ah well, here's to round 2. 

 

[Malenko]

Ah well, here's to round 2. 

 

if it wasnt for the refs and the Bengals sucking I would have had the fastest win ever.

[Ian]

Week 4 Seahawks over Colts

[pbj]

How bout them Cowboys?

 

[yotsuya]

How bout them Cowboys?

 

[pbj]

Two possession game..... onside kick..... two possession game.... onside kick....

Was about to mute the game there at the end.

And I'm always mind boggled when coaches don't utilize basic clock management.  Already had to sit through an A&M game this season where we could have gone out halfway through the 3rd quarter and literally kneeled every down and won the game... but nah, give it to UCLA.  So I feel your pain but relish your tears.

 

[markrvp]

Week 4

markrvp:  Cowboys def Rams

[JimmyU]

Week 4 Seahawks over Colts

[Malenko]

This is probably going to get me eliminated, but I need a reason to watch an Eagles game this year.
Week 4 Eagles over Chargers

[chopps]

Week4: falcons over bills

[Cakemeister]

Still need a pick from Jimmy.

[Ian]

Week 4 Seahawks over Colts

[Malenko]

[Malenko]

I'll take the Flyers over the Coyotes all day...... Eagles over Cards........ not so much.

[Ian]

I'll take the Flyers over the Coyotes all day...... Eagles over Cards........ not so much.

I don't know what the hell you're talking about. But Yes the Eagles are the better team right now.

[JimmyU]

Steelers over Jags

[Malenko]

Oh it's got nothing to do with them being better, when you've lived near philly almost your entire life you learn not to trust the Eagles

[Ian]

Oh it's got nothing to do with them being better, when you've lived near philly almost your entire life you learn not to trust the Eagles

Oh... ha ha ha... see me being a Packer fan I will forever remember 4th and 26. So I will always have respect for the stupid Eagles.

[pbj]

I feel your pain, yotsuya.

[yotsuya]

I feel your pain, yotsuya.

The good thing was I got like 35 fantasy points from that game.

[Cakemeister]

Congratulations to Ian, well done! A fast game, I don't recall it being over in only five weeks before.

[Malenko]

Congratulations to Ian, well done! A fast game, I don't recall it being over in only five weeks before.

Start up round 2 , also ---fudgesicle--- the Bills.

[Ian]

Congratulations to Ian, well done! A fast game, I don't recall it being over in only five weeks before.

Thanks Cakemeister! Beginners luck!

Ian

[BadMouth]

Congratulations! 

Every year I think it's going to be the year that I don't go out early....and then it happens.
At least it wasn't the first week this year.

[pbj]

Can I just say that football was about the only safe topic to discuss with my father and now politics and religion have ruined that, too?

 

[Ian]

Round 2?

[pbj]

3-0 after the bye week.

How bout them Cowboys?

[pbj]

The whole situation with Ezekiel makes me very uneasy and frankly I wish he'd just suck it up and sit out the next 6 games.

Yep, and now I'm really wishing he had sat them out.   

[pbj]

As a Cowboys fan, that was a complicated game to watch last night.  Ordinarily I'd root for the NFC... but the Eagles?  And the alternative was the Patriots?   

Good game, though.
