That game was so damn painful to watch. It was like Marty Morningwheg had possessed Mooch and decided to run a promising team into the ground.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I PRESENT TO YOU, THE LIONS OFFENSIVE STRATEGY, A PLAY IN FOUR PARTS
1st and 10: Run Pinner straight up the middle
2nd and 9: Run Pinner straight up the middle
3rd and 8: Screen pass
4th and 12: Punt
I didn't see the game, but if thats true, what the hell?? Lions strength is throwing the football. Packers weakness is defending a team who's throwing the football. My grandmother could figure out the key to winning the game is THROW THE DAMN FOOTBALL!
Oh hell yeah. We finally have a good QB... it's Pitt's YEAR baby. We're takin it all.Quote:

Kansas City will lose
Green Bay will lose.
THAT DIDN'T COUNT AS A PICK! I ONLY MENTIONED THAT THEY WERE BAD! :(Quote:

What happens if the Packers win?

>lol
I know :(:mad: , I was waaaaaaaaay off
>>edit: Hey, we all lost. Are the 4 of us back in now?
That would be cool, but if we start it up again, we can have some more participants.
Heh, personally I think I should be the winner, at least my game was close. KC scored 56 and GB scored 41, those picks were so bad Ober and Methodman should be kicked out for the rest of the season :D
Hmmmm... not sure what to do, only once have I seen a tie, and that was with two people. They were just declared joint winners. Whats the consensus everyone? Four way tie and start over or should we just act like this week never happened?
I vote the 4 of us are in next week again, but I'm not that attached to it if you guys want everyone back in.
I say we just go with the 4 of us again. That was a fluke. SECOND CHANCE!
No way, you all picked wrong, so we get back in. Among the four of you, whomever gets furthest in version 3 wins the tiebreaker for version 2!
That doesn't seem like a bad idea, honestly. (until all 4 of us lose next week)
Ok, that sounds good to me. Everyone is back in and I'll post the games tomorrow.
Okay, starting over again, jeez we all suck at this :D Here are the games, anyone can join again even if you didn't play the first two times. Also, don't worry about making the same pick as someone else, at least not while there are so many people still alive.

Oh, and cheez (or any other mod) can you change the title on the thread to something other than survivor II so everyone knows its starting over again? Something catchy ;)
PJ's pick: Kansas City is toast
green bay to lose stupid cheese heads, i hate cheese
If we're doing one for this week, I pick the Eagles to lose. :)
(O 34.5) - Arizona (+3) at Miami
(U 43.5) - Dallas (-1.5) at Cincinnati
(O 43.5) - Kansas City (-3) at Tampa Bay
(O 36.5) - NY Jets (-3) at Buffalo
(U 41.5) - Oakland (+7) at Carolina
(O 44.0) - Philadelphia at Pittsburgh (+1.5)
(O 37.5) - Washington (+3.5) at Detroit
(O 35.5) - Chicago (+9) at NY Giants
(U 48.5) - New Orleans at San Diego (-6)
(U 39.5) - Seattle (-7) at San Francisco
(U 41.5) - Houston at Denver (-6.5)
(O 48.5) - New England (-2.5) at St. Louis
(U 35.0) - Cleveland at Baltimore (-6)
I don't know if we wanted to start working in lines, but here they are anyways. Regardless, I pick Cleveland to lose.
Ober: Philly
Govtcheez: Cleveland
PJ: Chicago
jlou: Detroit :mad:
MethodMan: Oakland
kermi: Tampa
Bears are toast.
Detroit will lose.
Oakland will lose.
Sorry ober, but baltimore with out Jamal...they're gonna loose.
You know that Lewis is back this week, right? His suspension is over.
Yea I was looking at the wrong week's schedule....I'll take Tampa under KC instead...
Against any other team, I'd say the Eagles will win. But they're playing my Steelers. They took down 1 undefeated team last week, and I expect them to do it again this week. We've got a kid in the driving seat, but that kid kicks ass.Quote:

What the hell are you talking about.
DAMMIT! Why do the Bears only win when I pick them to lose??
I'm in two other survival leagues and in both I have yet to lose. Here I've already lost four times if you include last week when the server went down, AND we started a week late! I can't explain why, but I just know its RoD's fault.
> I just know its RoD's fault.
I like you :)
Echo that.Quote:

Buffalo at New England, 8:30 p.m.
Philadelphia at Dallas, 9:00 p.m.
if so, I'm picking Vikings to lose.
Unfortunately you'll need to wait til the current group loses. Looks like cheez, ober, and jlou are the only ones left.
Carolina will lose (since I'm going to the game as a 49er fan).
> Carolina will lose (since I'm going to the game as a 49er fan).
Man, that's gonna be a suck-tacular game. Hope you have a good time, though.
I'm going with Buffalo.
Cleveland for me.
:( :( :(Quote:

Seriously. I've been meaning to go to a game for years now, I finally get tickets for the game against the defending NFC champions, and I end up with a battle for the worst record. Oh well, as long as it's not raining it should be fun.
haha...yeah, too bad I didn't see the game - was supposed to be pretty good. FYI that rooky QB is injured - bruised ribs; hopefully he will play this week; they have another chance to win vs Tenn.
Looks like me and Cheez are still in. Jlou is a goner.
two words: DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA BEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARS!!!!!!
Jeez, how many more weeks in a row are the Bears going to win while gaining less than 200 yards!?!?
Hey jlou, looks like you got an exciting game to watch, even if the 49ers didn't pull it out at the end.
:mad: :mad: :confused: :( :mad: :( :rolleyes: :mad:Quote:

Looks like Govtcheez and ober are playing for the version 2 and version 3 championships.

In latest new however, "Bears middle linebacker Brian Urlacher will be sidelined 4-6 weeks after sustaining a lower leg injury early in Sunday's 19-17 overtime win over the Tennessee Titans." :( :(

Ober and GC, make your picks!
I'm gonna go with the Steelers dropping one to Cincy.
Ok. You're off your rocker. We'll just make this sudden death then. Cincinnati.
haha, I was kinda picking them so it'd be over, but this is an even better way to do it.
Big Ben's gotta go down sometime, obie-baby :)
I don't think so. I don't really see them losing more than 1 or 2 more the rest of the season.
Might as well start this Sunday ;)
May the football gods smite you for your insolence and may the Steel Curtain bring me glory.
Final smackdown!
I'm with you cheez, I think Pitt is choking the big one this weekend.
Go Steelers!
Choking the big one against Cinci???? Give me a break! And jlou, I like you more and more, my friend. :)
Let's sweeten the deal then, shall we?
First, here is a picture of my boobs. It's on your hosting :cool:
Secondly, how's about a little wager? As you can see here, I've got a BOX O' MYSTERY. IF the Bengals manage to screw up the monumentally easy task of beating a rookie quarterback and his receiving corps featuring a WR from MSU (and don't you think I know what this means?), I'll send you this BOX O' MYSTERY and the contents therein.
What's in it, you say? If I told you, it would be much of a mystery, would it? Used Kleenex (used how? that's another mystery!), a rolex, possibly a BAG O' MYSTERY? Could it be a piece of feces? Maybe it's many pieces of feces? It's equally possible that I've put the keys to a brand new speedboat in it. It's akin to Schrodinger's Cat, really. You have no idea what's inside, and for you to open it, you're destroying the idea of the Cat; there's an equal possibility that anything at all is inside. Now, I see it dawning in your eyes. You're realizing what's happening here. For the Steelers to win this Sunday, the very LAWS OF PHYSICS that keep us going will have to be broken. You know what happens when you break a law, right? You go to jail. This in mind, I'm sure the Steelers will lose because the Ravens have a pretty good monopoly on well known players in jail.
Fear the box.
And you call me hairy.
Wager, wager... hmm... what have I to offer? I'll tell ya what. If your precious Bengals somehow manage to defeat the Steel Curtain AND Big Ben, I will grant you access to a virtual Box O' Mystery. What is a virtual box o' mystery? It could be a back door into goatse. It could be a enough space to post another shot of your hot lil boooooobies.
It could also be a 5 minute window to ... wait for it... BROWSE THE NICK AT NITE VIP WEBSITE!
You never know.
Bring it.
> It could be a back door into goatse.
Now that's just redundant.
True, true.
Congrats to Ober!
Hey Ob, when you finally receive the BOX O' MYSTERY I want to see pictures of whats in it :D

Congrats ober, now I don't feel so bad kicking your arse today in fantasy football ;)
I'm picking the Raiders
I pick Carolina.
>>I pick Carolina.
:rolleyes: look at the bold move by GC :rolleyes:
I pick Baltimore
Thanks all. GC, you have my address or should I PM you? ;)
I'll take Washington.
EDIT: and PJ, don't add your points up just yet :devil:
I've got your address. I'll see if I can make it to the PO Tuesday.
edit: You gotta post pictures, though.
Oh don't you worry... I'll be waiting, camera in hand. BTW, is this something I can open in front of other people? I don't want this thing showing up over the holiday's with my wife's parents there if it's... well... obscene ;)
I'm not sure. You might want to open it somewhere private just to be safe.
To be quite honest, there will probably be porn inside.
LOL... that's what I figured. Ok, discreet is the word.
Only four players this time around??
Can someone change the title again so people know we're starting over?
Buffalo will lose.
Jeez, we all suck at this, down to two already :p
hehehe
>>Buffalo will lose.
I picked buffalo to win in another "operation" similar to this one :)
dammit....but I had a lot riding on the denver/oakland game...grrrr. And just 1 TD from plummer..... double grrrr
Hey Ob, so I'm thinking we'll do the same thing you and cheez did last week...but lets do it in a game were the odds are fairly even.
Deal. Someone wanna post the games and odds?
OK I think that the two most even games are Houston/NYJets or KC/Raiders; does everyone agree?
I say we take the Jets/Houston game. I'll take NY.
thats cool with me.... hope the Texans lose :p
