Sorry! I don't understand the artificial cap. I don' think we have enough to make a second one worthwhile.

 

SabreSpace has a survivor league with tons of spaces though. Check out our community there.

 

Scott, I am all in to do a 2nd set of picks for TBD, under TBD PickEm II or so, and at the end compare (offline) the highest scorer and name him/her 

Champion of Champions! maybe you can still the full one (first) TBD Blue, then the next group TBD Red, o so, and do this Superbowl thingy based 

in highest overall points... or maybe I am just addicted to NFL fantasy games...or maybe I just had too much coffee for today?? thanks either way!

If someone wants to set it up then that’s fine.

If the Jets, by some miracle, win on Sunday I'm thinking about 95% of our Survivor pool will be done.

 

The only reason I’m leaning towards not picking them this week!(In the survivor pool, still picking the Bills to win the game)

@SDS, do you have a way of seeing who is behind each Survivor pick set? Because this looks like someone signed up seven times to me....

Seems odd.  

There is an option to hide your email.  Some don't see that option.  

 

look under members

8 people forgot their pick or picked Houston in the standard pool

Bills were the safest pick, I think. I was nervous even about the Houston/Kansas City game because the possibility of Watson heroics in the 2nd half.

 

My second choice was picking the Colts, but I didn't think I could trust Rivers, and luckily I didn't. Pats would have been an ok pick too, but the Dolphins have surprised them in the past.

Those look like the default names Yahoo assigns if you don't go in and edit it, so probably just the people who didn't bother to do that.

 

 

p.s.  WTF Eagles?!?   :angry:

I mean, why would anyone not pick the Bills there?

 

 

11-5 in the picks ain’t great for me but I’ll catch up! 

I went with the Colts as I figured on a Bills site everyone would be on the Bills.  Oops.

 

Colts didn't even punt...

There were several "obvious" picks this week.  Colts were favored even more than the Bills.  Upsets happen.


Fair enough. My philosophy on it was straight forward: if the bills lost I wouldn’t care to win the survivor pool as the whole season would feel marred and I’d lose a lot of interest.

         Don't forget to get your Thursday night pick in and while your at it you can pick the other games because you can always go back and edit them before Sunday afternoon.

 

        I was considering making this announcement a separate thread so it would not be missed but I will leave that to Shady if he thinks it is necessary.

 

        Also, to the 5 players that did not pick last week, the Pickem game drops your lowest weekly pick total, so conceivably you could be in first place after the second week.   There is no need to quit just because you miss a week.  In fact I believe a couple of years ago someone placed in the top 10 after missing two weeks.

I forgot to make my survivor pick this week, but it won’t even let me select teams playing after 1p.  
 

Is that a setting that can be adjusted or am I just SOL?

 

Same for my weekly pick em

bold move. 
 

I was lucky enough to double check this AM. 

 

I had 2 unselected games. 
 

got them in before noon.  

I took GB two weeks ago... I’ve got Miami this week.

 

I think there might be two different survivor pool threads on here.
