/dev/null Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I was knocked out last week with Detroit If I were still in this week, I'd take the 49ers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted September 16, 2018 Author Share Posted September 16, 2018 If I had the Rams available (used them last week) I'd take them. What about Washington? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted September 16, 2018 Author Share Posted September 16, 2018 Screw it, gotta go with the Saints. There's no way the Browns with TT are outscoring the Saints like the Bucs did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 (edited) 27 of us live to the next week, a few didn't get their's in, all took the Saints or Rams or Chargers (HISSSSSSSSSSSSS) Week 3 prospects, shouldn't have to tell you which team is the pick... Niners @ Chiefs Broncos @ Ravens Colts @ Eagles Titans @ Jags Chargers @ Rams Pats @ Lions The Vikings (duh) but I don't want to cheer against the Bills for their first win of the season.... Good luck to the final 27, hope I care enough this time next Monday morning... Edited September 17, 2018 by row_33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talley56 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Unfortunately the Vikings and Packers will probably be the two popular picks over the next 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I was worreid when I read earlier that the Cards would go to Rosen if Bradford struggled. I figured the Bears defence would hold the cards offence, but always had this sinking feeling that Trubisky is going to be another Bortles and their offence will struggle for points...... Still alive having only used The Ravens, Saints, and Bears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And on a side note, it was incredibly stupid for Nagy not to have Trubisky play a single snap in pre-season. What a dope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't following the Bears, I just figured he didn't play against the Bills because it was the 4th game. Trubisky seems likely to end up as another Bortles. Drafted early, but not good enough to carry a team as a franchise QB. Probabl be a better backup to come in for a game or 2 but not someone who will lead you anywhere and require you to rest your hopes on the defence carrying the team (or a really good run game) 49 minutes ago, Doc said: Next weekend I'm thinking Chargers.

My bad. He played a little of game 2 (of 5 for them) and first half of 3, which was game 2 for the other team. Nothing in the 1st, 4th, and 5th. Dumb. And the only reason I'm taking the Chargers is because SF will be without JG. Beathard is garbage. Edited September 25, 2018 by Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think the Bills are THAT bad, you save them for later when they play an equally poor team. You pick the Vikings at that time and you lose the Vikings. You pick the easy games you're not going to last in a game of attrition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was only 4 of us left after like 85% of the players lost week 1 on Saints, and I didn’t like many other matchups nor did I trust the Vikings in a tough game later. It’s a $500 small survivor league, usually wraps between weeks 4 and 7 Edited September 25, 2018 by Alphadawg7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 So, using my "avoid the most popular pick" strategy I've still got one entry alive in two pools -- one that started with over 950 entries (down to 78) and one that started with nearly 600 entries (down to 64). It was fun watching my Bills be responsible for the carnage of last Sunday also. Haven't looked at this week's slate yet in detail but the Chargers hosting SF jumps out. You've also got Seattle at Arizona and Jacksonville hosting the Jets. I'll probably go with one of those three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
/dev/null Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Saints, Chargers, and Seahawks are all tempting this week. And if you're feeling bold, maybe Cleveland over Oakland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because people pick the obvious wins early and are like "crap!, I don't have Saints or Chiefs to play. Better pick this Vikings game.." //either loses, or has no sure bet going forward after that.

eball Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Anyone still alive in their pools? The two in which I'm still standing are down to 46 (from 566) and 64 (from 924). This looks like a very tough week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
