Extremeskins Survivor League (Aka Suicide League) - And The Winner Is.......

[Bliz]

Vikings kinocked out 7 with that loss to the Browns.  And Airborneskins went with Buffalo over the Jets, which was a pretty bold move.

 

Predicto was the only one knocked out due to failure to make a pick this week. 

 

16 left. 

[Stugein]

Yeah I did not last long.

[Popeman38]

Survived another week!

[daveakl]

Remember, if you haven't mailed in your $20 check your team will be frozen tomorrow night!

[abdcskins]

I'm winning the $733,957.

 

Steelers over Vikings this week.

[Bliz]

^^^ whoops.

 

Only one person lost this week.  abdcskins, with his steelers over vikings pick.

 

And our first week without losing someone to "forgot to make a pick".  So there's that.

 

15 still alive.

[CrypticVillain]

I had the Rams. I HAD the Rams..... I HAD THE RAMS!!!! as my pick for the week. But something told me to switch my pick to the Falcons..... THAT SOMETHING WAS SO WRONG!!!!

[The Evil Genius]

****ing Falcons. 

 

****ing Mike Smith going for it at the end of the 2nd quarter (not once..but twice) instead of taking the easy 3 points and going into halftime being down on 1 score instead of 2.

 

That's why they will never win the big one. 

[dfitzo53]

Of course it's easy (and meaningless) to say these things in hindsight, but I felt like that Falcons game had upset written all over it.

[The Evil Genius]

The take the 3 points at the half is coaching 101.

 

You're down by 10, its the last play off the half (barring penalty), the Jets get the ball to start the 3rd quarter, you have no running game, and you've only scored 7 points so far in the first half.

Take the 3 and don't give the other team momentum. 

[abdcskins]

Can't believe I picked the Steelers, they are horrid.  I don't recall even doing that, I must have glanced once and randomly picked one.  No excuses.  

[Popeman38]

How many are left? At work, Yahoo fantasy blocked.

[China]

And then there were six.

[Popeman38]

And then there were six.

There are only 6 of us left?

[China]

There are only 6 of us left?

 

Yup.  The Atlanta game took out 8 people and one person forgot to pick this week.

[Busch1724]

I'm one of the six left...thought Atlanta was vulnerable. 

I'm taking a risk this week. We'll see how it pans out.

[Popeman38]

I am left as well. It is CRAZY to think that there are only 6 left after 5 weeks.

[CrypticVillain]

I still can't Beverlee I changed my pick. Dumbest thing I did in a long time...

[Special K]

**** you Falcons!!!!!!!!

[dfitzo53]

I still can't Beverlee I changed my pick. Dumbest thing I did in a long time...

I can't Beverlee that either.

 

I wouldn't consider my pick this week a risk, but you never know...

[DaGoonie55]

:sigh:

 

should not have forgotten my pick.....

 

good luck to those that are left!

[Bliz]

...and then posted about it.   On the Tuesday before the game.

Indeed.  Survivor league is a **** like that.  I think a similar thing happened last year, where a lot of people got knocked out real early (NE getting upset by someone week 2, I think, played a big part) but then a handful kept going for quite a while. 

[balki1867]

Out of the 6 people left, I think 3-4 of us are strongly commited to the 'whoever is playing Jacksonville' strategy, of which only two can play Denver this week.

 

I'm still in the game, but I'm putting my money on the guy who has yet to use Denver, KC or Seattle.

[The Evil Genius]

Does anyone know if they do survivor pools where you have to pick a new loser each week?

 

It would be an interesting twist on the game and I can't figure out if it would be harder or not.

That would be me.  We'll see how my pick turns out this week.  Not as safe as something like Denver, but still a good pick I think.
