It would make things easier if people signed up using their TPWW names instead of random nicknames, also :rant:

[The Miz]

<font size="2" color="#2d5980" face="trebuchet ms">I signed up. Hawks over Aints in week 1 :cool:</font>

[BCWWF]

I'm saving the Hawks for deeper in the season, I hope St. Louis doesn't f up and knock me out early.

[AareDub]

I'm in. The first week is a tough one, there look to be a lot of close matchups, but who knows how well some of these teams are gonna do.

[BCWWF]

I feel like I'm wasting St. Louis, I want to use Cincinatti but I'm not sure how good the Jets are gonna be.

[toxic rooster]

who is san diego

[BCWWF]

the Chargers, I assume they are pretty bad this year considering they lost Boston and Rivers isn't signing, but I'm not an expert on them, so don't take my whole word.

[Gertner]

so how does this work? you can only use a team once a season?

[Y2Ant]

There was already a tpww survival league :o

[AareDub]

so how does this work? you can only use a team once a season?

Exactly.

All my money (yea, all $0 of it) is on Buffalo in the first week. They aren't exactly a team I'd want to bet on late into the season and they've got a home game against Jacksonville to kick things off. Of course, all my reasoning could change before the first week starts :lol: I don't like having this much time to think about my decision.

[BCWWF]

The first game will probably be the hardest

[toxic rooster]

what, and if your team loses you're out or something

[AareDub]

Yup

[Guest #1]

wow, I'm signing up for everything.

WTF why is the password Stima? hahaha

[BCWWF]

When I think football, I think Stima :wave:

[Gertner]

i picked st.louis at home vs arizona. seems like a safe bet.

[Y2Ant]

To make things a bit easier, we should all join up in one of the leagues, and close the other one.

Since you can only be in a max # of leagues. :o

Plus then we would have one outright winner. :cool:

What do you all think?

[el fregadero]

I'm in.

[#1-norm-fan]

I'm in on both. Don't know how I'm gonna do my picks though. I don't wanna just do the same picks in both leagues because if I lose in one, then I'm out in both.

Anyways, I'm debating between 3 sure bets I've got for week one.

Atlanta over San Francisco
Houston over San Diego
Chicago over Detroit

#1-wwf-fan, delete your league, and we just need supreme to join this one, and we're all set :o

plus more people joining it would be better too

[Supreme Olajuwon]

k did it

[AareDub]

Just a reminder for the last few people to get their picks in before Thursday. :D

[#1-norm-fan]

Though it's the only time that you have your choice of all the teams, week one is REALLY tough on this thing. No telling what's gonna happen. I had Falcons over 49ers but even then, I started going over in my head the ways San Francisco could actually win and it scarred me away from it.

I'm thinking St. Louis over Arizona would be the safe choice for this week but then I think back to how everyone thought that about Miami over Houston week 1 last season.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Well Arizona doesn't have its two best players plus the game is in St Louis so I dont think there will be any chance of an upset

Baltimore over Cleveland seems pretty safe as well

[Loose Cannon]

Fuck. I wanted to play :mad:

[#1-norm-fan]

Yeah, I ended up going with St. Louis. I just wanna get past week 1 and then hopefully get enough of a feel of how teams are gonna play to start getting them right.

[BCWWF]

I aswell chose St. Louis

[#1-norm-fan]

Dammit, I've got a bad feeling about this.

[Gonzo]

Houston over San Diego. My luck, this will be the time the Chargers actually win a game. :roll:

[AareDub]

I chose Tenesee over Miami, that one was a no brainer. In the other leagues I'm in I also chose Atlanta over San Fran, as well as Washington over Tampa Bay. I'm very uncertain about Atlanta, but I'm pretty confident with Washington.

I think Philly would've been a prime choice this week as well.

[Gonzo]

Yeah Tenn was a good pick but I chose to try to squeek out Houston over SD this week. Get as many shitty teams out of the way as early in the season as possible is my thoughts.

[AareDub]

Yea, getting a win with a team like Houston or SD would be great in the first week.

[The Miz]

WTF STUPID ASS RAMS. Better not lose.

[BCWWF]

So many of us are fucked in St. Louis chokes here, although I've been saying all along they aren't playoff material. Meh.


Has Fitzgerald done anything yet?

[BCWWF]

The Rams almost fucked themselves there, good thing there was a flag

[The Miz]

Bye Gonzo

[road doggy dogg]

DETROIT WHAT

Both my picks (Detroit and Washington) won this week :cool:

DETROIT WOOOOOOO

[The Miz]

Shut up, they played Chicago :p

[road doggy dogg]

They haven't won a road game in 3 years, excuse me for being excited :rant:

[BCWWF]

And the Bears are playoff bound, er at least according to #1 WWF Fan

[#1-norm-fan]

I said they would be this year's Cowboys.

Dallas lost on opening day last year at home to Atlanta.

Chicago lost at home on opening day to a good Detroit team.

Be patient.

[Y2Ant]

Washington :cool:

lol @ DrA :$

[Gonzo]

OH MY GOD. Way to suck Houston. Out of the four games the Chargers are going to win they just had to win this one. Bastards. Fuck Drew Brees right in his gay ass.

[#1-norm-fan]

Jeez. Seriously. Why did I just KNOW that St. Louis wasn't gonna give it to me comfortably. Well the toughest week is behind us.

[#1-norm-fan]

WTF. Someone picked San Diego??? :eek:

lol. WTF again. I thought I picked St. Louis all this time. I forgot that late last night I got online to switch my pick to the Jets. I regret that now as I would much rather have the Jets for a lock later down the road than St. Louis.

[BCWWF]

I am deciding whether to take the risk and have Cincinnatti going over Miami, or take the sure bet and have Green Bay destroying the Bears.

[el fregadero]

I took the sure bet.

[#1-norm-fan]

I want to take Arizona over New England BADLY just so if they do win, I can flaunt it.

I just can't do it though. I've narrowed it down to Dallas over Cleveland, Oakland over Buffalo or New Orleans over San Francisco.

[Y2Ant]

Minnesota over Philadelphia :naughty:

[BCWWF]

That will be the best game of the season.

Owens is overrated, Moss smokes him everytime. Bring it :rant:

[road doggy dogg]

How is Owens over-rated

Sure he's a stupid whining annoying douchebag, but he's still one of the best players in the gaem

[BCWWF]

Look at his numbers compared to Moss.

He's not bad by any means, but he isn't the same player that Moss is.

SportsCenter was trying to compare the two last night and they were strugling. They did the "Whose Better" thing...Moss won more dangerous and more intimidating while TO won stronger and better celebrations.

Then they went on to show career stats on Monday nights...TO had played 16 times on Monday Night and Moss 8, yet Moss only had one less TD catch, about a hundred yards less total recieving, and so on and so fourth.

So they are both great recievers, but they are not comparable beyond that. Totally different games, totally different history.

[BCWWF]

Also, my use of the rant smiley was supposed to imply that I was being for the most part sarcastic.

[road doggy dogg]

Oh please. Moss plays on arguably the best offensive team in the entire league, and has for his entire career.

Owens was playing with a struggling 49ers team, being thrown passes to by Jeff Garcia.


All that being said, Moss is better than Owens, but that doesn't mean Owens is shitty by any means since Moss is like the best receiver since Jerry Rice

[BCWWF]

I agree with you, I was being more sarcastic than anything up there. Moss, Harrison, Holt, and Owens are really all in a class of their own, but that doesn't mean they are all comparable really.

[Y2Ant]

"I was being sarcastic, honest" :'(

[AareDub]

So it's down to something like 5 people now? Well, one more if the Bengals win. Shit, it's only week 2! This is going to be the shortest Survival Football thingy ever!

[road doggy dogg]

I lost in the jobber league 'cause I picked Kansas. What the hell, how do you lose to a team with no O-line, your starting RB and #1 WR out. Stupid Kansas.

Oh well, the Jets won for me in the important league.

[AareDub]

I lost in the Yahoo Public group thingy I'm in because I picked Denver over Jacksonville. Still alive in both TPWW leagues though.

[#1-norm-fan]

I lost this week because I picked... no one. Meh. I was in a big car accident. If I hadn't forgotten, I would have dragged my mangled body from bed and put something in. I'm a little upset. I would have gone with New Orleans.

[#1-norm-fan]

I said they would be this year's Cowboys.

Dallas lost on opening day last year at home to Atlanta.

Chicago lost at home on opening day to a good Detroit team.

Be patient.

Wow. To follow up:

In Week 2, Dallas rebounded by pulling off an upset on the road against a division rival.

In Week 2, Chicago rebounded by pulling off an upset on the road against a division rival.

Pretty crazy.

[The Miz]

Woooo, on to week 3. And I've only used shitty St. Louis and shitty Cincinnati :cool:

[Gertner]

Hmm, How can you dumb fucks not pick against arizona!

[The Miz]

Because we aren't idiots like you and wasting New England

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I just found out by reading this thread that you can't use the same team twice

whoops

[AareDub]

Because we aren't idiots like you and wasting New England

Every team that plays New England this year will play harder for that one game than any other. I'd rather pick NE against a team like AZ that couldn't beat them no matter how hard they try. I'm guessing there are quite a few teams on NE's schedule that could pull a surprize upset if they play their best game of the season. NE is hardly a sure thing all season ;)

[Y2Ant]

Yeah, I was trying to make smart picks without using any of the big teams, I should have just picked Arizona's opponent every time :mad:

Yeha but there were a couple other almost "givens" this week so theres no reason to use up New England when there are plenty of other good picks.

[road doggy dogg]

Yeah why not just pick a team that you know will win based on their matchup

ie the Jets this week like I did

[BCWWF]

Yeah, like the Packers beating the Bears :mad:

[Y2Ant]

:(

[BCWWF]

The Vikings/Eagles game was like Prefontaines race in the Munich Olympics. The game was played on a shitty tempo that went against the Vikings from the start. It was a defensive game and we had a shitty defense.

[Gertner]

the way this league is going it'll be all over by week 5.

[The Miz]

I think I am gonna pick Atlanta this week, at home against the shitty Cardinals. I dunno though, Packers vs. Bears is giving me doubts :mad:

[AlphaBean]

I said they would be this year's Cowboys.

Dallas lost on opening day last year at home to Atlanta.

Chicago lost at home on opening day to a good Detroit team.

Be patient.
You said what?

http://www.tpww.net/forums/showpost.php?p=555611&postcount=55

Seriously though. I'm calling it... The Bears will be this year's Panthers in that nobody is even discussing the possibility of a good season for them but they will suprise people. Also, I'm predicting they will get 1 win over Green Bay this year.

The Jets too will be a suprise team. They'll fight with New England for the division lead all year before winning out in the end.

I have spoken.
:rofl:

Yep... they're the next Cowbanthers all right.

[road doggy dogg]

The Bears will be this year's..... Bears. A shitty team with a chance to upset every once in a while.

*picks Carolina this week since they're on a bye* :shifty:

[BCWWF]

They upset the Vikings last year, in a game that was probably more important than the Cardinals game. That DB pulled the ball out of Randy's hands in the endzone for the interception. The Bears still aren't good.

[AlphaBean]

Tillman went from nobody to high-80s rating on Madden because he pulled the ball out of Moss' hands. Was it in the end zone?

I didn't see the play, was graduating college... cause if Moss had the catch, and then got stripped, that's technically a TD. Unless his feet weren't down. :dunno:

[BCWWF]

I thought he was in the end zone and they both caught it at the same time, but the DB pulled away with it. I may be mistaken though, as I try to put games like that behind me.

[The Miz]

Philly 21-0 Det in the 2nd, looks like I'm moving on to Week 4 :cool:

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Still alive in both leagues :cool:

[Gertner]

Gonna go against my usual routine and not pick against arizona this week. i have a feeling they are gonna win

[Apprentice]

I'm goin with the Pats this week

[Supreme Olajuwon]

went with the Jets this week against Miami

[#1-norm-fan]

You said what?

http://www.tpww.net/forums/showpost.php?p=555611&postcount=55


:rofl:

Yep... they're the next Cowbanthers all right.

Alright, I guess technically I said "This year's Panthers". I said "In that no one is even discussing the possibility of them being good and they will suprise people." In that way, they will be like the Panthers.

Also... one win over Green Bay. :cool:

[Gertner]

3 guys left!

[Gertner]

RDD you are mine bitch! I'm already preparing my victory speech.

btw, who is Ray Ray?

[Y2Ant]

Supreme I think.

I bet Gertner wins :shifty:

[el fregadero]

Stupid Chiefs. :'(

[BCWWF]

I was just looking through Commish Tools (Yeah I own you all) and I think I can reset it and we can all start over when the winner wins. It looks lik its going to be early.

[Y2Ant]

Nice

[Y2Ant]

I bet most people will have forgotten about it by now though and all forget to pick teams if we start over :'(

[Gertner]

I will never lose!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHA! Remember you guys said I was stupid for using my great picks early(i.e new england over arizona). Um, who's laughing now

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I think it's kinda funny

[BCWWF]

I used a great pick early, Green Bay over Chicago. See how that worked out? :mad:

[Gertner]

My strategy early on was to pick against arizona every week until they ran up against a team that I thought might lose to them.

I still have some good teams left (jets, seahawks, steelers etc...
)

I don't have the Colts, Pats or Eagles left though :(

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

VICTORY IS MINE

[Gertner]

Down goes RDD. Supreme, it's down to me and you bitch!

[road doggy dogg]

Hahaha I can't believe I picked KC again. They knocked me out in both leagues. I really thought they would upset Jacksonville. Oh well, it was a close game at least, and I did survive to the final 3 in my first year, so it's not too bad. :mad: Next year I will come back with a vengeance.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

blood will be shed

[BCWWF]

Alright guys, I'm going to let everybody back in now

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Ill just have to win again
