So far this season is proving to be a little challenging in some respects...some teams just aren't playing the way they were expected to, so it's a little unpredictable for sure. This weekend there are at least a couple of games that I think are almost too close to call, they're gonna basically be coin flips, I think.

I was out of town last week. I'll take an 0-16 if you want. Or 1-15 since I would've picked the Cows to lose. ;)

Really? Wow. Just be a gracious loser without bringing my team into it.

Really? Wow. Just be a gracious loser without bringing my team into it.

They're my team too. I'm just be realistic. The Cows aren't that good. I figured the Randy Galloway reference woulda given away where I grew up.

In your dreams. :lol

10-0 Chiefs so far. This Cow team drives me crazy.

Liam Jinn

Yog

Oct 11th, 2009, 12:12:40 PM

Ok, ok, ok!! They are DOOMED to LOSE! Cowboys got NO chance whatsoever to win this!!!

Maybe that works.. :uhoh

Aurelias Kazaar

Oct 11th, 2009, 12:24:32 PM

I haven't picked the Cows at all this year. I don't trust them. They're worse than the Stars.

Jedi Master Carr

Oct 11th, 2009, 12:42:28 PM

I am happy to see the Chiefs winning not sure that will last. This is only the second time they had a lead all season.

Liam Jinn

Oct 11th, 2009, 01:01:41 PM

Wow, this just blows. 4 offsides penalties this drive on Dallas. At least their mad...

Liam Jinn

Oct 11th, 2009, 01:17:37 PM

Td Cowboys!!!!

Shadow Storm

Oct 11th, 2009, 01:39:12 PM

A lot of close games I'm nervous on as we approach the end of the earlies. Ravens have a marginal lead, Browns and Bills are tied up, Redskins have a marginal lead, Cowboys and Chiefs are tied up. :\

EDIT: Panthers take the lead over the Redskins with 9:21 left to play.

Figrin D'an

Oct 11th, 2009, 01:51:33 PM

I managed to miss getting my picks in on time because I was moving this weekend and didn't have internet access until this afternoon.

So, I'll just pick the late games and the Monday Night game since they haven't kicked off yet.

Can the Bengals not wait until the last seconds to win or a lose a game this season?

Yog

Oct 11th, 2009, 01:59:38 PM

TD cowboys!!! :crack

Shadow Storm

Oct 11th, 2009, 02:01:23 PM

Cowboys take the lead, Lions are closing the gap, Panthers are still on top, Browns are close to taking the lead, Bengals take the win, and I'm wondering what the heck is up with this week.

Jedi Master Carr

Oct 11th, 2009, 02:14:03 PM

Pending the extra point, Chiefs tie it up.

Liam Jinn

Oct 11th, 2009, 02:15:14 PM

Are you kidding me?! Tied AGAIN?!!

Liam Jinn

Oct 11th, 2009, 02:18:37 PM

Aurelias Kazaar

Oct 11th, 2009, 02:37:39 PM

Austin! Austin!

Liam Jinn

Oct 11th, 2009, 02:41:41 PM

Kinda wish I had put him in for Fantasy Football. DALLAS WINS!!!!!!!!

Nathanial K'cansce

Oct 11th, 2009, 02:55:31 PM

Austin! Austin!

I thought about picking him up in a few leagues... but didn't. Cowpolk got lucky.

Hah, and Moss's only catch so far in the game is an interception off of Orton. Love it.

Rutabaga

Oct 11th, 2009, 03:58:06 PM

I did okay with the morning games, but dammit, the Niners are playing like SHIT today. Ugh. If things stay the way they are, it's looking like I will have blown most of the afternoon games.

Speaking of blowing...I can't watch the NE-Den much because those throwback uniforms make me wanna blow chunks. :x

Rutabaga

Oct 11th, 2009, 05:40:48 PM

<---- picked Denver

Yay, Broncos! :eee

Nathanial K'cansce

Oct 11th, 2009, 05:57:40 PM

Denver was the only team I picked in the afternoon games to win. That does not bode well for standings. Come on Colts!

Shadow Storm

Oct 12th, 2009, 01:52:34 PM

Well, the Colts won, just have to see who wins tonight before the damage assesement teams are brought in. This isn't going to be a pretty week.

Lilaena De'Ville

Oct 12th, 2009, 02:29:28 PM

The Niners were awful yesterday! :cry I blame Crabtree.

Dragon

Oct 12th, 2009, 06:18:10 PM

You cannot blame Crabtree for this (http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d8135ca4e&template=with-video-with-comments&confirm=true).

Rutabaga

Oct 12th, 2009, 07:19:56 PM

That game was simply embarrassing. I turned it off at half-time and ended up watching the NE-Den game, with their vomit-inducing uniforms. :x

Lykaios

Oct 12th, 2009, 07:30:33 PM

And to think my Bengals should be 5-0 were it not for that freakish play at the end of the Broncos game >.<

Lilaena De'Ville

:colbert I can if I want to!!!!!

:cry:cry

Oct 12th, 2009, 09:52:54 PM

Holy cow, what a fourth quarter in Miami! The Jets entered the fourth quarter with a 13-10 lead, and five touchdowns later, the Dolphins took the lead 31-27 on a direct snap to Ronnie Brown from two yards out with six seconds left - this after the Dolphins took over with 5:12 left in the fourth. Now THAT is ball control.

Big game by Braylon Edwards, who made several spectacular grabs among his five catches for 64 yards. The Browns are no doubt wondering where those hands were when he played for Cleveland. But Chad Henne had a very solid performance for the Dolphins, going 20/26 for 241 yards and two scores.

Shadow Storm

Oct 12th, 2009, 09:54:30 PM

5-9 for the week. :x

I'm going to go ahead and post up the picks for next weekend. I just want to put this weekend as far behind as possible.

Dragon

Oct 12th, 2009, 10:22:42 PM

In the past, when someone's missed a week, we've given that person the lowest score minus one (hence Aurelias's and Shadow's 7-7 scores last week). This round, that would be 4-10. However, Figrin D'an got his picks in for the late games, and he got four of them right. If we give him the lowest score for the early games (four) minus one and add his four late victories, that gives him a record of 7-7.

Let's have some tribal judgment here: What score should Fig get? 4-10 or 7-7?

Here are the rest of the scores:

Dragon: 10-4
Lykaios: 10-4
Aurelias Kazaar: 9-5
jjwr: 9-5
Lilaena De'Ville: 9-5
Rutabaga: 9-5
Ryan Pode: 9-5
Xavier Synik: 9-5
Liam Jinn: 8-6
Figrin D'an: 7-7
Jedi Master Carr: 7-7
Miranda Tarkin: 7-7
Nathanial K'cansce: 7-7
Yog: 7-7
Shadow Storm: 5-9

And in the standings, a lot of position-shuffling, including a new leader! :D

1. Dragon: 54-22 (44)

2. Miranda Tarkin: 53-23 (46)
3. Rutabaga: 52-24 (43)
3. Xavier Synik: 52-24 (43)
5. Liam Jinn: 51-25 (43)
6. Figrin D'an: 50-26 (43)
6. jjwr: 50-26 (41)
6. Nathanial K'cansce: 50-26 (43)
6. Ryan Pode: 50-26 (41)
10. Lilaena De'Ville: 49-27 (40)
11. Yog: 48-28 (41)
11. Jedi Master Carr: 48-28 (41)
13. Aurelias Kazaar: 46-30 (37)
13. Lykaios: 46-30 (36)
15. Shadow Storm: 38-38 (33)

EDIT: The people have spoken!

Lilaena De'Ville

I say let him have his afternoon picks. :)

Shadow Storm

Oct 13th, 2009, 03:25:24 AM

You let me have the highest of the two options last week when I got my late games in at least, so I say give him the higher of the two options this week, as you proposed.

Rutabaga

Oct 13th, 2009, 06:12:23 AM

I say let him have his afternoon picks. :)

I second that emotion.

Hey, I did better than I thought for the weekend! I saw the last quarter of last night's game, and wow, that was something else. Didn't see that coming at all.

Ryan Pode

Oct 13th, 2009, 12:55:40 PM

Give him his evening picks.

Dragon

Oct 13th, 2009, 01:45:12 PM

Aaaaand done!
