The Fantasy Fantasy A2K NFL Pick-Um Thread for 2011-2012

Umm ... this game is shaping up to be ugly for the Saints. They're marching through them like crap goes through the Xmas Goose.

And another.

RANDALL COBB!! WOO! Loved the Lambeau Leap and the TD Leap that preceded it.

Great game.
For the life of me...why send in a rookie running back on the last play when you have Sproles?

I've always liked Sproles (picked him one year in Ffootball) and he was fantastic last night in a variety of roles. The choice of Mark Ingram seems, at least in retrospect, so obvious to Green Bay, re his publicity.

There might have been an attempt at double-fakeout -- the Saints are known for their inventive play-calling, so they figured the Packers would assume that, and the straightforward play would be the surprise.

Dunno.

I like the result though.

True, and me too.

I didn't stay up to watch the game's end. A lot of points scored.
I made a big thing about the need for players to get their picks for all of the games in by the kick-off of the 1st game (NO @ GB).
That is sort of not true. Players can still pick the remaining games by the start of Sunday's games. Regardless of how well a new player does, however, he/she will not be eligible to win the prize for the week.
So if you meant to pick but never got around to it, you are still welcome to join us and compete for the trophy awarded at the end of the regular season.

What trophy? I never saw any trophy.

I (sputter) mailed them to you. I never have trusted British Post agents.

They were misrouted to me. I scratched out the name "spendius" and replaced it with "wandeljw".

Can the Jets make the Superbowl?

It depends....how many tickets will be available by the time they are eliminated?

Coin Toss/Coin Toss is so flipping excited! After picking Green Bay, CT/CT agrees with the majority of the folks here on 7 of the 8 early games this afternoon.
Take that, Spendius.

That make no difference Johnnie. CT will end up where I said after nearly 300 games.

I'm all excited. Our first game in about 90 minutes is the Steelers/Ravens and at 9.00 the Giants/Redskins. Break open the Jumbo popcorn and the 6-pack.

Spendius: You should try to explain that to CT, who believes you are wrong, rather than to me. NFL games, evolution vs creationism, global warming or not, CT has an opinion.
I mess with CT's head though with something like "boxers, briefs or nothing?"
I did get the views here on this thread from 1859 to 1878 with one mindless post. That is my job.

them buffalo boys are putting an oldtime ass whoopin' on the chefs.

I hadda turn the radio to something else in the shop.

their sadness was overwhelming me...

Osso (sand dogs) not doing well so far. So many bad guesses..

By my count, Region is 7 of 9. George and Johnboy are 6 of 9.
Liontamerx, 2 of 9, is, um, 2 of 9.

So..... the Packers beat the Saints and the Bears beat the Falcons. Gonna be an interesting year in the NFC Central.
