NFL Survival League!

[smashbro14]

I'm starting one of these babies up. For those of you who have never played this before, it's quite simple. You pick one team per week. If that team wins, you move on to the next week, and if they lose, you are out. The only catch is that you cannot pick a team more than once. If you don't pick anybody one week, then you're out. The last man standing wins.

You can sign up until the last game this week ends, but you can obviously not make a pick for a team that has already played. For example, if you sign up Friday you may not pick Miami or Pittsburgh. Once the 9:00 monday night game begins, sign ups are officially over.

When you join, you can go ahead and pick a team right away.

(*) denotes current pick

[The Eye in the Sky!]

Arizona Cardinals

[Jim Halpert]

In!
Cardinals.
Eye knows what he's talkin about!

[Freakish]

Arizona, I think my strategy is gonna be pick whoever the Niners are playing

[Velocity]

I'm in for this one. Arizona Cardinals as well.

[The Eye in the Sky!]

Watch the '9ers pull an upset and have smashbro win this in week 1.

[Rick52]

I think my strategy is gonna be pick whoever the Niners are playing
Nice strategy, not a bad strategy at all...

...I'm picking Seattle. At Detroit. Against the Lions.

[Gabby Jay]

I'll take Carolina for the win.

[smashbro14]

Watch the '9ers pull an upset and have smashbro win this in week 1.
Hey, it could happen. The 49ers are better than the Raiders...

I'll be picking against the Vikings and Raiders all season :).

Hehe, Lions.

[James89]

F all of you guys.

49ers FOR THE WIN. iHELLS YEA!

[smashbro14]

What do you say guys? Should I bother putting James into the first post? :P

Hehe.

[Insane man]

I am in I'll go with San diego. Watch the lions win just to mess with Rick.

[BigDaddy]

Time to be different than everyone else.

Washington Redskins.

[XZ]

Just to be clear.
We pick one team every week?

Either way..uhh..
New England Patriots.

[smashbro14]

Just to be clear.
We pick one team every week?
Yep. One team.

BD made a great pick!

[Pontus]

Hm... San Diego, Arizona, or Ravens.

San Diego, plz.

[Harris]

I'll go with the Bears on this one.

I know, I could have picked a team that was more heavily favored, but I live life on the wild side. :hide:

[bobaloochi]

arizona plz

[Gabby Jay]

Man, I suck at these things...****ing Atlanta. I knew I should've picked Chicago. Well, me and James will just chill in the losers lounge...

[James89]

Yea, only cool people are welcome in the losers lounge. :D

[Pontus]

I'm picking the Ravens and I don't even know who they play.

How is THAT for the wild side, eh eh eh?

[Gabby Jay]

Welcome to the losers lounge Big Da-D'oh

I bet smash is very upset, and has a lot of hatred towards Josh Hall.



Now time to watch lots of people get eliminated when the Raiders win tonight:D

[BigDaddy]

Stupid Redskins... smash, you were there, why didn't you go out there and kick the field goal?

[James89]

I wonder if smash was the guy dancing in front of the big screen.

Hey BD, could you get me a loser coke from the loser fridge, and close the loser door on the way out....loser.

[The Eye in the Sky!]

I wish I didn't start the Arizona trend... don't follow me, people! They almost blew it!

[Zell 17]

I'd like to sign up. I know I am an hour late, but the San Diego - Oakland game has just started. It's 3-0 San Diego now, so I'll pick Oakland if I can. :) (just to be fair)

[Freakish]

Hehe, your boned Brian. Never pick the Raiders, especially against a godly team like the Chargers. I mean the Raiders don't even have a legitimate QB

[Velocity]

That and Oakland is getting raped by the Chargers as we speak. Brooks is doing nothing.

But in any case. I was about freaked when I saw the Arizona-San Francisco score and how close it was. But then I figured... watch, everyone picks Arizona and San Fran will make it a game.

[Freakish]

Brooks is still doing a little more than Rivers. If the game is indicative of the year, LT is gonna be dead by the end of the year. They seriously need to have Rivers throwing more than once or twice a quarter. Hasn't made any bad decisions, his throws are on the money, but with Oakland stacking the box, a bootleg or any pass would hit a monster gain

Rivers just made a perfect 38 yard throw. People are gonna hate Rivers if he only throws on 3rd and 7 and doesn't convert all the time

[James89]

Marty has to stop babying Rivers. LT wont last the season at this rate.

[Insane man]

See the thing is to me at least that amrty was trying to run down the clock. H e saw the Raiders offense was terrilbe and pathetic. He just wanted to keep moving the clock then finally let him loose. I think he wants to bring him along slowly. There was no need for him tot hrow the ball 20 times. As the season progresses i expect him to let Rivers loose a little more than he did.

[smashbro14]

Brian is silly. I'll put you in the first post just for sh!ts and giggles.

I have a LOT of stuff to say about the Redskins game last night, and guess what... you'll all get to hear it later today! Maybe.

I told you guys the 49ers could surprise everyone. They didn't, but they came damn close.

So three (or four counting Brian) people are eliminated. Hehe.

[Insane man]

The Redskins defense couldn't get off the field on thrid down. Minnesota was 9-17 on third down. They made Brad johnson look good. Sure there were some bad calls that went against washington but some did go against Minnesota like that roughing the passer call. I think the Redskins overpaid for some people. Brandon LLoyd was he even playing? I know he was but never did anything in that game. Also they should have gotten the ball to Santana Moss more. 3 catches for 69 yards but he needed more than that.

[Freakish]

Week 2 I'm picking the Ravens, especially the way the Raiders played last night.

IM, I'm fine with Marty running the ball in the fourth quarter, but in the first quarter on 3rd and long he was still running it. At that point, its too early to know that the Raiders offense was gonna be that bad

[smashbro14]

... this is all true.

My pick this week is... the Saints. I'm going to save the Ravens for later.

[Rick52]

Going with the Colts.

[The Eye in the Sky!]

Gimme the Bengals this week.

[XZ]

Broncos.

[Harris]

I too will take the Colts.

[Insane man]

Hell gimme the Ravens if their defense is antyhnig as it was last week and the raiders offense as bad as it was then this should be a gimme.

[Velocity]

I'm going with smashbro on this one. Saints ftw.

[Freakish]

Going with Washington for week 3

[smashbro14]

Everyone who actually picked somebody survived, but SithLord23 and dude2444 are out.

I'll take... Miami this week. This is incredibly risky, so I might cnage my mind later.

[Velocity]

This is incredibly risky, so I might cnage my mind later.
lol cnage

This week isn't gonna be easy... I think I'll take the surest pick out there. Baltimore.

[Harris]

I'll take the Bears.

Danger's my middle name.

[Rick52]

I guess I'll take Philly this week.

[smashbro14]

Crosshair, you already picked the Bears. You have to pick someone else.

[Insane man]

I am taking Philadelphia

[The Eye in the Sky!]

I'll go with the Dolphins.

[James89]

Wow Insane man, you dont that SF stands a chance against Philly? You do know they are missing Sheppard, Kearse, I think Hood, and that Westbrook is questionable.

[Insane man]

Your right i don't think that bSF stands a chance against Philly. Yeah all those guys may be but they still have McNabb.

[James89]

Ehh, you got me there. But remember, there is always a seat for you in the losers longe.

[Insane man]

Don't go after me Rick picked philly too. I don't see you gettin on him.

[Rick52]

I'm just awesome like that, I suppose. :^:

[James89]

I didnt even realise he picked Philly too. Must have passed it up Rick, you like the Lions, so I'll leave you alone.

[Harris]

Crosshair, you already picked the Bears. You have to pick someone else.

My bad. I'll go with Miami this week.

[XZ]

Miami for me.

[smashbro14]

Well everybody survived except Pontus, who didn't pick anybody.

Week 4!

I pick the Cowboys.

[Velocity]

I doubt survival leagues have EVERYONE moving through these weeks... someone's gonna have to miss at some point. lol

Week 4... I think I'll go out on a limb this week. Enough of the supposedly safe picks. Minnesota.

[smashbro14]

Eh, obviously more people get eliminated if there are more players. The first week is usually everyone's killer, as was the case here. This is pretty normal.

[Insane man]

Well everybody survived except Pontus, who didn't pick anybody.

Week 4!

I pick the Cowboys.

I hate you ;) . Well I am going with a total surprise in that I am picking the Cowboys too.

[Freakish]

Hmmm...Miami or Cleveland. I hate the Raiders so I'm going with the Browns

[Harris]

I'll go with the Eagles this week.

[Rick52]

Gonna go with Atlanta.

[The Eye in the Sky!]

I'll go with the Panthers just to be different.

[XZ]

Cowboys this week.

[Insane man]

Thinking about taking the 49'ers against the Raiders but will go with an uber safe pick. I will rock with the Colts this week.

[Rick52]

Chicago Bears at home this week.

[Freakish]

New England

[Harris]

I'll take New England too.

[XZ]

The Vikings...!

[smashbro14]

Velocity is out, so it's down to 7 people.

I'm going with the 49ers!

[The Eye in the Sky!]

Bizzears (Bears)

[smashbro14]

Well, everyone survives yet again.

I'm picking the Redskins this week.

[Rick52]

I'm picking the San Diego Superchargers

[Insane man]

I am rocking with the Broncos surprise surprise picking against Oakland again.

[Freakish]

Bears

[XZ]

The San Diego Chargers...
I NEVER thought I would pick them.
damn.

[Harris]

I'll take the Broncos this week.

[The Eye in the Sky!]

Redskins.

[smashbro14]

Well... me and Tom are out. Nobody else's team has played yet.

[Insane man]

Before i forget or GW goes down, I will pick the Jacksonville Jaguars this week.

[Rick52]

I'll... go with the Patriots.

[Freakish]

I'll roll with Denver, unless I've already picked them then the Jags

[Harris]

What the hey. I'll go with Seattle this week.

[XZ]

The Jaguars..
They're a safe bet. (Although I feel Houston's going to win..lol.)

[Freakish]

Since week 7 is over for all of us, I'm going with the Steelers for week 8

[Rick52]

Holy crap, it's down to the two of us just like that.

I usually pick once I update the NFL Pick'em, so I'll decide tomorrow.

[Freakish]

Yeah, well the Texans took out 3 people, got rid of half the people left

[Rick52]

...I'm taking a risk here, but I'll take the Saints at home to Baltimore.

[Rick52]

So much for that. :-\ My risk is getting its ass kicked right now. Now I have to hope Oakland somehow beats Pittsburgh. It's possible, Oakland now haste the taste of victory in their mouths, and Pittsburgh hasn't had a good year, and it's in Oakland...

...yeah, I'm screwed. Early congrats, Freakish.

[Insane man]

In a surprising upset oakland has done it they beat Pittsburgh. Damn Ben throwing 4 int's.

[Freakish]

So is that week considered a draw and we go on?

[smashbro14]

Yeah, you guys just go on like both your teams won. Heh, good thing Big Ben couldn't think this week... well it's good for Rick.

[Rick52]

All I know is I got lucky. And I also jinxed the Steelers. :^:

Edit: smashbro beat me by like a second or something

[Freakish]

Since I'm not gonna be here for the tail end of the week (going out of town Thursday to visit colleges) just gonna get my week 9 pick out of the way

Atlanta

[Rick52]

I'll take the New York Football Giants.

[Rick52]

Bless you, Detroit Lions. You guys don't win much, but the one time you do, it helps me win a survival league. You can't ask more than that from one of the worst franchises in football.

[smashbro14]

Ha, how fitting for Rick. Well, he wins this league, and only about halfway through the season too. Congratulations.

And congrats to Freakish as well for getting this far.
