I ran this the last couple of years and Chad ran it the first few years. I was going to post it next week, 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. My personal goal is to make it out of Week 1 this year.

Oh, and fair warning, if I don't make it through at least week 3, I'm going all Ahigh (PBJ for you young bucks) and deleting everything. I'm leaning towards taking the Raiders and Jets whenever possible. Good strategy, right?

I agree with your strategy except they play each other week 14. That could be an amazing train wreck to watch.

Speaking as a lifelong Bucs fan...
...everything about that game makes me want to crawl in a hole and forget about football for the next 5 years. It started out with Freeman getting a delay penalty for calling two consecutive timeouts and ended with a linebacker literally giving away the game on a personal foul. That was the worst ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- I've ever seen on an NFL field. That says a lot coming from a Buccaneers fan. :banghead:

I'm not even going to try and describe how I feel after the Steelers Game. :dizzy:

The 'Aints over The 'Fins (aka New Orleans over Miami)
I'm using my self imposed rule of not picking the same team twice. I think being able to pick the Broncos and what not pretty much every other week sucks the fun out of this.

I was at the Cowboys/Rams game Sunday and the Rams look really bad. Sorry St. Louis fans, you're in for a rough season.

Anyone care to wager? >:D
The Jaguars next 5 games are IND, STL, DEN, SD, SF by 10/27. The Heat play their first NBA game 10/29. Who gets their first win first?
-
That's an interesting bet that I want no part of.
I do really hope you get an even better avatar from Sunday's Bears-Lions game though. That would be awesome!

Being a fan doesn't make me stupid. Dallas' ---smurfy--- defense didn't stand a chance against Manning. We scored 48 and still lost :(

Anyone heard from Hoopz? Hope he's not going to nuke the thread after all!

I'm here. Bitter as hell, but here. I'll update it later today. Real life got in the way last week.

I'm out. Stupid Patriots.
Picking the patriots is like playing Russian Roulette. 5 times out of 6, you get the outcome you were hoping for. That 6th time inevitably comes though.

I blame the Bengals. They can't beat the Browns but beat NE. :banghead:

Did Chad forget to make a pick for week 5? I dont think I missed it but if so, let me know please.

Hey guys, been out of action for awhile, but needless to say, Im back!!! :cheers:
Aaannnndddd, Im not sure if some of you rememeber, but Im a Steelers fan. I thought commenting on this thread was a joke in of itself. :timebomb:
-
Welcome back Mike. Still at the bank where they block Google but you can get to Bing?
Glad to see you still claim the Steelers as your team. Once they fire Todd Haley, they'll be able to win a game or two in a few years. Must kill you seeing the Ravens with the Lombardi Trophy, the Browns winning the division and the Bengals not being the worst team in the league. ;D
-
Mike!! Good to see you back!! :cheers: :applaud: How is it going?

Man Hoopz your memory is amazing! Yup, Im still there, but I think something is wrong, I can access stuff! I was in Texas for awhile, but now Im back in ol Sunny SD!
I know, its hard, and I have had steam shoot out my ears since the season started, but man. So many emotions that flood over me, I think Im past denial, and into depression. Freaking Bengals. I think its a sign of the apocalpyse.
Mike!! Good to see you back!! :cheers: :applaud: How is it going?
My man Vigo! Things are going well, thank you. Been a rough year. How long have I been gone?! 2 years?! Whats up with the crew?! PBJ still causing a ruckus? Any new people rattling the cage since I have been gone? How are you?

I keep forgetting to put my pick in because I'm barely paying attention to the NFL this year. :-\
Atlanta over the Jets. Good thing all the MNF games are totally onesided now.

Been doing alright. I can't think of a whole lot new with me. I got a new job*, so it has been a bit harder to be online. (* By new job, I mean I have a new position for the same employer at the same salary as my old position. Now I am just expected to do much higher level work and longer days with no pay increase :banghead:)
I think it has been a tad less humorous around here lately. I think this place has lost one too many of the crazy ones that keep everything lively. There are a few new faces though, great guys, so it isn't like it is dead around here. There are a couple entertaining episodes that that I can think of. Sandheaver's "no front-end front-end" comes to mind. >:D I better also share that I had to shave my head a few months back because I had to used my head to catch gooey, dribbling caulk after I almost fell through the ceiling. (I will let you search that yourself) ;)
Glad you hanging in there. So you went to Texas and back to SD. Miss the traffic police that badly? ;D

Atlanta just cornholed 4 of you. Geno is a beast

The heard was cut in half this week. :o

Referees just cornholed 4 of you. Back Judge is a beast
FTFY, also, poor clock management for the Falcon Punches, should grind AT LEAST 1 play to cut 30 seconds off the clock.

Yeah, one of your picks was the Broncos. And your Atlanta over the Jets pick looked like a slam dunk on paper... it was a home game for Atlanta against a rookie quarterback.
I've only picked the Broncos twice. The first time was because I had been out of town and there were only two games left to choose by the time I could post (you can check that out). The second time I picked the Broncos was against my own Cowboys (which you also were a smartass about) and that game could have gone either way since it was a road game for the Broncos (the game was 51-48 decided on the last play of the game). But keep taking shots because you don't sound bitter at all.

Are you clinically retarded or just faking it? I was making fun of myself because I had all easy picks (which I pointed out by telling you to look at MY picks, not yours) , then when it came down to a tough week of picks I got eliminated. I didnt pick a single tough game until the game that got me eliminated. I feel like Im explaining what a vagina is to Xuuche! I cant make fun of you for being a cowboys fan, Im a Flyer's fan and they have been sucking something fierce lately. As for changing the avatar, you picked against that team, so I felt the comment was both funny and appropriate.
so to recap for the TL;DR:
I offended you by making fun of myself.
EDIT: For the record, I didnt even realize you even picked the Broncos twice
-
The more the Broncos go undefeated the more nervous I am about picking them, especially after giving up 48 to the Cowboys!
-
Yeah, but I don't think it gets more one-sided then this weeks game. Broncos play the Jaguars and have home advantage as well. A meteorite would have to land on Manning before the game for the Jags to even have a chance.

Congrats to Markrvp for another championship! After Saint finishes the Wiki login problems, he'll be sending you your gift. We do expect your championship speech to be about 5 paragraphs so post it when you can. Better luck next time Vigo. You got second which is the first of the rest of us losers.
Thanks to all for participating. Holler if anyone wants to do a Round 2.

I think Markrvp should keep picking each week to see how far he can go.

TWO TIME CHAMPION, WOOT WOOT!!! Thanks to Hoopz for another great year of NFL picks. I really enjoy playing with you guys. Congrats to Vigo for his 2nd place finish.

I'm in for a second round if we do it.

It's only November. He can still win at this point. He doesn't go into full blown gag mode until December.

It's only November. He can still win at this point. He doesn't go into full blown gag mode until December.
A few weeks ago, during one of those weak moments when I wasn't watching the game on a DVR and skipping all the commentary, I saw an elaborate analysis explaining how Romo wasn't really a choker if you looked at his fourth quarter numbers. My first thought was, about 5 minutes into preparing this analysis it should have dawned on the writer that the very fact you're compiling it kind of proves the point. My second thought was that I never thought Romo blew it solely in the last quarter, but there was always some key drive and he was guaranteed to throw a pick.
Thinking a little deeper, I go back to my Jason Garret conspiracy theory where I was convinced he was intentionally blowing play choices when he was offensive coordinator just to make the coach look bad. 95% of the game would be excellent and then you'd see a weird play that defied all reason and they'd lose. Went through that for two seasons. With Romo calling the plays, you don't see that anymore, but you still get the picks.
It's been a very frustrating era to be a Cowboys fan, and I suffered through 1989.
:banghead:
-
The Dallas loss to Detroit was some horrendous coaching. A friend summed it up nicely " Hey, Jason Garret.........let's see if Brandon Pettigrew can actually catch a pass. Let's see if the other WR on the Lions can catch a pass....you know...what's his name. Oh, that's right.....we DON'T! No one does! They don't HAVE one. In summary......you're fired."
-
It's really not as complicated as they want you to believe. Any Packers fan should look at Romo and be like "OH WHAT THE HELL NOT AGAIN". Tony Romo is exactly Brett Favre but with only about 85% of Favre's talent.
-
Romo calls his own plays now, Jason's too busy maintaining that unnatural hair color.
I thought Favre would have been an interesting choice as a closer for the Cowboys. Oh well.
-
Week 10 San Fran over Carolina

Unnatural hair is the Cowboys' coaching legacy.
Favre was so good for a few years he literally won a Super Bowl despite his Romosity. Romo is not good enough to do that. The packers made it to the Super Bowl before Favre could screw it up and Bill Parcells put them over the top.

OP updated. Holler at me if I missed someone.
Vigo or anyone else, you can still get in by picking tonight's game. Or if anyone watches every play of it tonight, we'll count that as a W for the week. I can't imagine having to suffer through this game. :dizzy:

Wow! I can't believe we lost seven in one week.
