Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 In under the ES screenie. Deciding on a pick as I type. Hail. *Edit* I could go in Week One here as I'm going with a weak team to get them off the board early. Oakland to beat Norval. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I think it's always a good idea to go with a lock, right out of the gate, and then see which average (and below) teams look to have a leg up on the competition early on, (or look to be a little better than advertised) in the coming weeks, which is normally when a lot of teams tend to play evenly, with the better teams pulling away late in the season. So I took Philly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdcskins Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Ba zing. I remember I picked the Giants last year week 7, huge upset they suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bliz Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share Posted September 8, 2012 Last bump before the season gets going. Thread will be updated each week with results. Right now we have over 30 people signed up, which is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 1 for 1 so far (Philly). I think half of America got knocked out in the survivor pools by picking the Saints. I barely escaped. Opening week always has a tendency to be pretty dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bliz Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 Week 1 in the books. No major upsets, but Philly and Det sure made it interesting. 4 players down - 2 neglected to make a pick (paging LiverLips and HadMe@Helu, please report to the thread for your public shaming), one had Oakland (Gibbs Hog Heaven) and one had Carolina (TheFlatwoodsMonster). Everyone else except Bang took Houston, Philly, Chicago or Detroit. On to Week 2!

The Evil Genius Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I was worried about you Bang..should have taken a freebie like Philly. Oh wait. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I outsmarted myself by trying to get Oakland off the board early. Same old Raiders, same old penalty jerks. Same old lucky ass Norval. It's been emotional guys. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Sinister Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Glad I got the Eagles out of the way early. Even with all that talent, I just get the feeling that if they continue to look shaky, say for the next 3-4 weeks, that team just might implode.

HogNose Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I'm pulling the trigger and using Oakland this weekend. I made such a move last year and got booted early but I want to save the "lock" teams for as long as I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Sinister Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Okay, I know I picked the Cowboys, but I think I'm going to change my pick. For some weird reason, I smell an upset. You know those fans (and the fake ones that get blasted through the pa system) are going to be fired up. I'm going with the Texans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HogNose Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 At first I picked the Raiders this week then decided to play it safe and take the Patriots. :thud: Most of us have been wiped out. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stupidmorals Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Well, crap. That's what I get for daring to hope. I took the Redskins to not blow everything up in their faces. My mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bliz Posted September 17, 2012 Author Share Posted September 17, 2012 Week 2 and New England and Washington took down 11 teams. Oakland got 1 and Dallass 2. Jujuskinsfan, Beat by a Girl, Res ipsa and Grizz, you failed to make a pick. Consider yourselves mocked. 13 players left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DogofWar1 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Picked Dallas. Expected Romo sits to pee, Murray and crew to be able to move the ball, while I expected the secondary and Ware to scare Wilson into mistakes. Boy, was I wrong. But it's ok, because it means the Cowboys lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many more will be joining us. Yeah, this week is going to be tough. I think I'm going to go with either the Steelers or the Bengals (sadly). Oakland is a hot mess, and I think AJ Green could destroy our secondary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feeling a little vulnerable, so now you need to give yourself a little false hope after your Giants were on the ropes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
