Jeff Klopmeyer Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 As is becoming the pattern, I see that Eric Worthington is holding out on his pick for later in the week. I can see him now, checking injury reports, measuring position vs. position players, checking the backup's college records and so on. If this pool was for money, I'd probably be a little deeper in my research for picks as well. As it is...not. - Jeff Marketing Communications for MI/Pro Audio My solo music and stuff They Stole My Crayon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llarion Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 I'm usually late pick too, but the Rams were my first instinct this week.

Jeff Klopmeyer Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 And of course, now you jynxed me. Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS -- Edgerrin James did not practice Wednesday because of a bad back and the Indianapolis Colts running back could miss Sunday's game at New Orleans. James also was held out of practice Monday because of the injury, and Colts coach Tony Dungy said the team was closely watching the two-time NFL rushing champ. "Hopefully he'll be ready to go, but we'll see how it goes," Dungy said. "He was a little more sore today than we expected. We had hoped that he would be farther along. Right now it's 50-50, but we're hoping that he'll be back and we'll see if it loosens up in the next day or so." I may have an alt pick lined up in case Edge is no-go. - Jeff Marketing Communications for MI/Pro Audio My solo music and stuff They Stole My Crayon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Bryce Posted September 26, 2003 Author Share Posted September 26, 2003 Just a quick heads-up... I'm going to be out of town from this afternoon until Sunday afternoon, so I won't be able to modify the list. However, the fact that each post is date and time-stamped means that any picks/changes will be honored. dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Worthington Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 All right, I've stalled long enough. I think GB and St. Louis will win, but I'll go with: Denver Broncos Yeah, I know three of us could be eliminated this week, and who'da thought Jake Plummer starts off 4-0, but whattaya gonna do?

Griffinator Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 Dammit. Now I'm thinking of changing my pick. Too many people on one pick virtually guarantees a failure.

Llarion Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 No real obvious picks this week, all the good teams are playing each other, the mediocre teams are playing each other, and the bad teams are playing each other. Well, I ended up picking the Rams, which worked. How'd we do with the burning questions? Burning questions for the week: *Will the Cards ride their upset into a second in the Edward Jones Dome? (Probably not) - And there you have it. *Can Detroit breathe at that altitude and under that much fire? (Probably not) - Denver squeaking by. Tougher call then I thought! *Will the Saints sneak up on Indy's smallish D-line with Deuce and ball-control them into submission? (Possibly) - We'll see. Gimme Indy. *Can KC stop Baltimore's running game? (Possibly, but even if they can't, they have too much O-power for even Ray Lewis) - Still in the air as of this typing. But KC is ahead. *Will Cleveland go flat and lose to the Bungles after stunning, emotional win at the 'Stick? (Very possible). - I had a hunch on this one, almost picked Cincy this week to be flashy, but didn't want to risk the humiliation. I know, I'm such a pussy. *Will the '03 Bucs D go down as the best in history after this year? (At this rate, yes, by a big margin) - Still to be seen... Overall, doing pretty well it looks like!!

Ouizel Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 I've gotta say Fat Chance you'll get rid of me. I'm here for the long run.

Jeff Klopmeyer Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 On paper, it would seem that we won't lose anyone this week. Of course, they don't play the games on paper...so we'll see what happens at Soldier Field tonight. - Jeff Marketing Communications for MI/Pro Audio My solo music and stuff They Stole My Crayon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llarion Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 I'm going out on a limb and picking really early. Gimme Buffalo over Cincy. They're spent after the emotional win over arch rival Cleveland, and DIllon is out for the game with a groin injury. This is the only no brainer on the docket, and there's only one other one really worth considering; Oakland over da Bears, but we'll see how they do tonighnt before deciding just how easy this one is. All the other games could go either way. Upset specials: Look for New Orleans to come out and just pummel Carolina. By now they are pissed and have their backs to the wall. And they seem to do well against the Panthers in general. They split last year, but N.O. outplayed them. Watch for Jax to wake up this week too against a vulnerable Chargers team. Cheers!

Griffinator Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 Nice call, Phil! The Rams stuck it to 'em pretty good! I had no TV yesterday (moving sucks!) so I missed all the action.

Llarion Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 Thanks Griff! I had a feeling it was time for an offensive explosion. I have a feeling that Warner will not be a Ram next year.

Griffinator Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 I'm stuck this week. Raiders look good - sorta - except Gannon doesn't look like he can pick a secondary apart fast enough to keep Urlacher out of his face. He's also not mobile enough to run away from the Bears front 7. Pittsburgh looks good, except that Cleveland-Pitt is always a bloodbath. Buffalo is looking very fallible all of a sudden, and Cincy is definitely a team about to turn a corner. Those kids have spunk, gentlemen. I'm going with Carolina at home over the 'Aints. A bunch of loud, obnoxious music I USED to make with friends.

But my byzantine method of picking leaves me nervous about choosing a road team over home if I have a choice. I felt the stronger disparity of the Bengals on the road was the better team to choose against. - Jeff Marketing Communications for MI/Pro Audio My solo music and stuff They Stole My Crayon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the Monday night game (after some struggling with a homemade antenna built from an RG-45 and some stripped RCA cables) and what I saw in the second half was Brett Favre running for his life a lot, and managing to make some tough throws in the process to keep his team moving forward. I can't see Gannon doing the same. Of course, you're a Raiders fan. You always believe they can do it (just like you believed that they could hand the Broncos their hats ) A bunch of loud, obnoxious music I USED to make with friends.
