Octopus Overlords

Mini-update: Average score so far is 14 (horrible!), dumbasses currently have 8, and the leader has 25 (!).

I guess I can take some solace in being average for the week. Ugh.

I should have just resubmitted my IM picks as my regular picks the last couple weeks...

Good to see dumbass"ES"...as in I'm not alone at the bottom.

Congrats to Moghedian for winning his second straight Dumbass award. We had six people forget to submit their Thursday picks, and in this case that worked out in their favor.

Pick of the week: GB over MIN.

Oops of the week: Every other game? We had two games where the losing team was locked in the vast majority of entries--PHI and BAL. SD had a lot of locks and lost, too, and CAR/KC weren't locked much but also blew up in a lot of people's faces. Is it next week yet?

Crazy performance of the week: Bears D/special teams score 21 points and handed the offense a few more easy points. Are the past few games outlying events or is DET deciding that they were quite comfy staying home in January, thankyouverymuch?

'Saw that coming' of the week: Green Bay steamrolling Christian Poner & Co.

'Didn't see that coming' of the week: Oakland? KC? ARI? CAR? SEA? Really?

Tebow!

Since I can't just have Zax use someone else's picks as my own, I submitted them myself for the week. Lord help me.

I feel the same way The Meal did, but at least 5 games seem like certain things this week.

so no email this week I guess.

I hope I submit my picks in the right order

Also was hoping to see where I stand in the standings, because sometimes that dictates what teams I pick.

Sorry, folks. Family in town this week. Email will come this evening.

Orton's Mustache continues his domination, even as Orton himself is released and ends up in football hel^Z^Z^Z err, Kansas City. The field remains tight around The Line. Apologies for the late update this week; family in town. Good luck to all, and to all a happy Thanksgiving. Don't forget that there are 3 games tomorrow, and that the first is bright and early.

Pick of the week: GB over TB, NE over KC. Unanimous.

Oops of the week: Phi over NYG. Who would have thought that PHI would have brought us an 'oops of the week' back before Week 1?

Crazy performance of the week: Legarrette Blount's 54-yard beast mode TD run against the Packers.

'Saw that coming' of the week: NE steamrolling KC.

'Didn't see that coming' of the week: MIA steamrolling BUF.

sorry for coming off bitchy. With having a new baby and sharing the holidays with the family for the first time, I know it can be crazy.

I'm thankful for the OONFL! Also, my picks are in for three games today.

I'm thankful for 3 correct OONFL picks on Thanksgiving.

I stole your line.


Here's a quick score update for you, including the three Thanksgiving games. I'm thankful for three correct picks! Hope you all had a nice holiday and are ready for the rest of Week 12.

Should have gone with my gut and picked Tim Tebow.

I thought I had a shot at Top Dog with 31 points this week, but lo and behold 3 of you felt the need to top that, and 8 more tied it. As Da Coach would say, STOP IT.

To anyone losing hope of catching The Line™, remember that this coming week begins the 'End of Season Surge' competition. As a refresher, the person who scores the most points in weeks 13-17 wins a small portion of the pot.

Pick of the week: Amazingly for a week as high-scoring as this one, there were no unanimous picks. ATL over MIN and PIT over KC were close, though.

Oops of the week: DEN over SD.

Crazy performance of the week: Sebastian Janikowski setting a new Raider record with 6 FGs, and their punter completely neutralizing the Bears' special teams. Haven't seen that happen in awhile.

'Saw that coming' of the week: NO scored a lot of points at home.

'Didn't see that coming' of the week: Ndomukong Suh ending the 'is he dirty' debate so decisively.

This week is going to make for a lot of ugly scores. Both on the field and in this game.

Scores fell back down to Earth a bit this week after two weeks averaging > 1.7 pts/game. We've got a 3-way tie in the early EoS Surge competition, and a 2-way tie overall thanks to another just-short-of-Top Dog performance from Mr. Lem.

Pick of the week: We had several 'easy' picks this week, reflected in the fact that there were very few missed locks--BAL, NO, PIT, SF, GB and NE won a lot of points for folks.

Oops of the week: DAL losing to ARI and CHI losing to KC.

Crazy performance of the week: Is Aaron Rodgers even human?

'Saw that coming' of the week: IND loses again...

'Didn't see that coming' of the week: ...by only a TD. To NE. In Foxboro.

The rest of my week 14 picks are in. There's a good range of lockable games available, but some real intriguing games in the field as well.

My best week so far. Good time for that. Only missed SF (which I imagine a good number of us missed) and Dal (stupid Cowboys). Neither of which were locks.

Congrats on the Top Dog!


Mr. Lem takes back his lead from the Mustachioed one for the first time since Week 9. Naednek takes the early EoS Surge lead.

Note--there is both a Thursday and a Saturday game this week. Don't forget to submit in time!

Pick of the week: PIT over CLE, GB over OAK, BAL over IND, NE over WAS

Oops of the week: ARI over SF.

Crazy performance of the week: Another Tebow comeback? No, a collapse by the Bears. Also, FG duel in Denver. Runner-up: Wild finish in Dallas.

'Saw that coming' of the week: GB scored seven thousand points again.

'Didn't see that coming' of the week: Arizona? Really?

Game tonight! I'm in.

In case anyone's freaking out about their score this week as much as I was... Average score so far is a pathetic 15.33.

Stupid Oakland costing me 2 points. Oh, and missing 3 locks didn't help. Ugh.

Mr. Lem extends his lead to 3 points with 2 weeks to go. No pressure, sir. JC Anejo picked a heck of a week to have a Top Dog--average score was 16 and change and he vaults over The Line™ with 25 this week. He also vaulted into first in the EoS Surge category.

This is an oddball week with Christmas on Sunday--only one game that day. One Thurs, one Sunday, one Monday, and thirteen on Saturday.

Pick of the week: NO over MIN. At least one game was easy.

Oops of the week: Almost everything else? Buffalo, Seattle, Indy, KC, Washington, San Diego and Carolina all winning.

Crazy performance of the week: Even though no particular moment was spectacular, I'm going with KC dethroning GB. That was spectacular.

'Saw that coming' of the week: ATL steamrolling JAX.

'Didn't see that coming' of the week: Indy. They won. A National Football League game. Without Peyton Manning.

Yeah, my bad. I had this fixed already, but had pulled the Week 15 list first. So you have 15, and the 327 total score is correct. I just had you wrong in the pre-week list. Whups!

Pick in for tonight's game!

Yes! I locked Indy!!!

Okay, not really. But at least I didn't lock Houston.

I did not watch much of the game but ever time I did all I saw were marginal calls against Houston to keep drives alive. That roughing the passer call on the final Indy drive was not even marginal, it was straight BS. The illegal hands to the face right before it was marginal at best (particularly since the official had his hands in front of him until after the tackle then went for the flag). The pass interference the play after that was a good call though.

I only saw the highlights, but isn't there a rule where the QB can't be hit at or below the knees?

This page says that's the case. If only the rule book were online...

Yes, the Brady rule.

In some cases, the defensive player can argue that forward momentum brought him into contact with the quarterback, in which case it's not a case of roughing the passer.

I think having a lineman land on his back could be an argument for forced contact. Of course, I'm not an NFL official so take it for what its worth.

Try the Carson Palmer rule... which came about when a Steeler hit Carson square on the knee and taking him out for the playoffs and the following season.

Ok -the most recent clarification(the Brady Rule) is the one that gets the most press. It may have been illegal before, but there were still times it could happen and not be a penalty. Now, not so much.

That is funny, because it was Carson Palmer who got knocked out the prior season during the playoffs and there was a huge hew and cry during the off-season about protecting QBs. Funny that it is just "the Brady" Rule when nothing likely would have happened had Palmer not been injured the same way at the end of the prior season.

I am glad you are amused. It's a merry time of year after all.
