Dave Bryce Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 I'm not in the survival pool, just the pickem...survival pool is too complex for me! You don't want to try to pick one - only one - team a week that you're sure will beat their opponent? Heck, you don't even have to worry about a pesky point spread. C'moooooon - it's easy.... ...or are you just wary of losing the exorbitant entry fee? Think of it this way - if you're like most of us, you'll probably be eliminated in Week 1, so no worries. dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakari lindhen Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 there were other rules, that if you pick a team that you had picked a previous week you had to go stand in a corner and were eliminated. ..I can't remember the team I picked this week, let alone a team that I picked weeks ago! not to mention the entry fee and the initiation rite of having to dress like a panda on the street corner.... but okay, if it is cool to get eliminated the first week, I choose Kansas City over Buffalo...

Mark Zeger Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Last year if you picked against Buffalo every week, you would have made it to week 8. That might have been good for the win. I think I rode the Bills opposition for a few weeks but jumped off too soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffinator Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 This year, you may well get to the end of the season picking against Buffalo. They really have done nothing (outside of the draft) to improve their offense, and trading away Lee Evans didn't help. A bunch of loud, obnoxious music I USED to make with friends.

Griffinator Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Buffalo D looks good. Not so much on the other side of the ball. I like them for 6-10. Baltimore, when they won the superbowl, had a stud RB and a stifling defense. That's all they needed. Buffalo has 30-year-old "change of pace" Fred Jackson starting at RB, and CJ Spiller backing him up. Ask Pittsburgh how well that worked when they were starting Amos Zereoue...

Griffinator Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Couple guys going way out on a limb with the Detwah pick. Interesting... Of course, I'm going (theoretically) out on a limb with the Brownies, but Colt McCoy looked good in preseason, and he wasn't terrible last year, while the Bungles are starting a stone cold rookie who has been shaky in preseason.

David Loving Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 daviel is Dallas Cowboys for week one. Like Griffinator I have also become a Browns fan-Colt is carrying that talent and that 'Texas fight' to Cleveland, and I'm with him. But this week I'm picking Dallas. "Forget it, Jake.

Dave Bryce Posted September 4, 2011 Author Share Posted September 4, 2011 Couple guys going way out on a limb with the Detwah pick. Interesting... Now, Griff - it's not nice calling Brother Force a couple guys... ...and I'm not sure it's way out on a limb. I think the Lions are gonna be pretty good this year. Colt McCoy looked good in preseason, and he wasn't terrible last year, while the Bungles are starting a stone cold rookie who has been shaky in preseason. I hear that. Matter of fact, I have McCoy as my backup fantasy QB in my (just for fun) NFL.com league (Vick is my QB in the $ league). I'm considering starting him rather than my #1 Joe Flacco - a better QB probably, but he's's playing Pittsburgh, who have...shall we say...a better D than Cincy. dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffinator Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 daviel is Dallas Cowboys for week one. Like Griffinator I have also become a Browns fan-Colt is carrying that talent and that 'Texas fight' to Cleveland, and I'm with him. But this week I'm picking Dallas. Heh. I didn't say I became a Browns fan, I just thought they could beat a completely hapless offense in Cincy, lacking their marquee QB and any semblance of a receiving corps. In short, I couldn't see any better opportunity to pick a team I don't believe will win more than half a dozen games this season. A bunch of loud, obnoxious music I USED to make with friends.
