Octopus Overlords

Ok - I've gotten lazy. Can someone post the games for next week? Thanks.

Or the scores for this week? I suck. Yesterday was a bit busy. I'll get the recap out this am.

Sorry for the late recap. I was stuck in Bears euphoria or something. Crunch time now with only two weeks to go before those below the line find themselves at home, along with 20 NFL teams. Corrections for Weeks 1-14 are now closed. Week 15 corrections will be accepted until the end of Monday night's game. New this week is a Saturday game in addition to the Thursday evening game.

Good luck, and happy holidays to you all!

I have to say that I'm enjoying the second half of the season a lot more than the first.

I'm kind of partial to the middle half...

At least you all got to enjoy something

Although Sam Bradford has been a nice surprise.

Gah - a missed extra point and then a blown 4th and 15 causes me to lose a point. Stupid Cowboys.

+3 on the week thusfar.

I think the 2 pick 6s may have contributed. Stupid Cowboys.

Not to mention Kitna getting knocked out of the game, so the playing field was evened with two practice squad QBs playing each other.

Really four points right? I mean, if DAL wins you get 3, but now you got -1. Hopefully that cheers you up a bit.

Why do I ever pick Miami? Henne is so full of choke it's unbelievable.

YESSSSS!!!! Go Lions!!!!!! I even picked them correctly the last two weeks.

I have no idea who I picked this week.... I may have been drunk when I made them.

Wow...this week is looking terrible. 14 points so far (compared to my IM's 23). Blech!

It's crunch time. One week to go! The race is still tight, with 5 people within 7 points of first, and 11 +/- 5 points of the line. Good luck to everyone in this final week; don't screw it up.

Also, we all suck. Ironmen taking the top 2 spots? Blech.

That's pretty awesome, actually!

I suppose in its own way that it is.

How the heck am I still in first?

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who stunk up the joint this week.

Go go IM!

Another week like that and my IM just might creep above the playoff cut line...and my normal picks might fall below.

*looks at score*

*looks at sent mail*

*realizes that I forgot to send in my picks for anything other than the Thursday game*

*bashes head through wall*

Oh well, I guess the plus side is that I still managed to stay north of the Mendoza line, although now I actually have to sweat out the last week. Greaaaaat.

Yeah, sorry about that. I try to send out reminders to those I think have just forgotten, but this week was a little tricksy with travel and holidays.

No worries. Not your job to remind me. If I make the playoffs, it doesn't matter. If I don't, I'll have no one to blame but myself. Anyhoo, I, uh, sent my picks. You know, just to be sure.

I'm three points below the cut line because I forgot to submit the PIT game. Oops!

Picks sent!

*fingers crossed*

Note to The Meal: I picked the games exactly how you did. And now that you know that and want to adjust your picks accordingly? I thought of that and adjusted mine accordingly.

I knew I should've picked Oakland. Blah.

I'm looking like the bubble boy again this year.
Well, at least that would mean I'm consistent.

If I got 11 points on the first half of the games, my just updated score can't be correct; I got 12 points in the second half of today's games.

edit: Nevermind! I is dumb.

Hmmm... So does the Meal have a lock left? Curiosity is about to kill this cat.

Edit: and did naednek really not submit any picks? Poor guy was in line for the EoS surge!

Stupid last hour switch to Philly over Dallas. I knew better all week and then promptly panicked this morning. Sigh. I did crawl over the playoff line for now though. Come on St Louis, don't let me down.

CC:

1) You know I can't tell you that.

2) Yes, Naednek and GamerIrv both forgot to submit, and GI was likely in the playoffs...

Oh, I knew you couldn't tell me. I just couldn't contain my curiosity, and maybe was hoping the Meal would volunteer the information.

Now that the game has started, I can announce a couple of things:

1) Congrats to CC--you and The Meal both picked STL, so regardless of tonight's outcome, CC will finish ahead.

2) Remus, your playoff hopes rest on being correct with STL. UJ picked SEA and would leapfrog you if SEA wins.

Ah, cool! Checking things out more closely, it looks like the Meal has the lead in the surge... That must have put him in an interesting predicament when picking tonight's game.

Zaxxon wrote:2) Remus, your playoff hopes rest on being correct with STL. UJ picked SEA and would leapfrog you if SEA wins.

Double damn that last hour switch then as staying with Dallas would have provided me the cushion to be able to relax. Damn you, Cowboys!!!!!
/shakes fist in general direction of Texas since geography is to poor to narrow down to a more precise "Dallas area".

and UJ,

I found an error in my entries for this week--I had Jeff V's NYJ pick typoed, meaning he has more points than I had given credit for. The scenarios posted earlier still apply, as Jeff also has STL. So if SEA wins, UJ leapfrogs you both and takes the last spot. If STL wins, you both remain tied and both get in.
