Octopus Overlords

Remus West wrote:Frigging Lions are just embarrassing. 5 touchdowns of over 60 yards. 2 return TDs, Petigrew handing the ball to them. Allowing a WR to catch the ball behind the DB's back by reaching over him and then turning and running untouched down the field. Just fucking embarrassing.

I was prettty amazed they tied it up in the final minute though. But yeah, 41-41 isn't a great defensive effort.

All I'll say is that after the morning debacles, the average score is 6. Six points.

At least the Bears won...

I'm pretty sure I will no longer be top dog, considering that I am 0/4 on locks. Oy.

OMG that was a bloodbath. Looks like a I have 11 points so far. 3 locks blown.

I have 7 points. I would've done better by randomly selecting teams.

After the Baltimore win, I have 9.

NINE!

13 for me. I guess it could be worse. TY Arizona and Baltimore.

Those were two I got right, too!

Holy crapola... Glad I wasn't home to watch the games this weekend. I blame my computer for being broken for picking SD.

Scores so far... Several folks have 7 for the week, and JC Anejo IM has three, having managed to pick and lock CHI and DAL correctly. And nothing else. I SALUTE YOU, SIR. Average is 11.46.

Then there's UJ, with 23. WTF.

Who is this UJ person and should we all get together and beat him down for fixing the NFL?

Mitma's Uncle. I have no idea how this happened. He finished 41st last year and had 1 point in the playoffs in 2011, his first year of participation. Perhaps his high score is confirmation that the league is, in fact, fuct up?

Holy crapola. That's amazing.

Works for me.

Well, if this week's games don't spur a speedy resolution to the referee lockout, nothing will.

We had one player with 3 points who earns the Dumbass award one week after earning Top Dog (well done, JC!), an average score of 11.54 for the week, and a new leader with a commanding 8-point hold on first place (how you did this on *this* week, UJ, I don't know).

But hey, Green Bay and Detroit lost what should have been gimmes and the Bears won. Life is good. Although I suppose you could make a strong argument that in both cases, they *were* gimmes--from the referees to the opponents of the Packers and Lions.

Mailbox is open for Week 4 picks. Please verify your Week 3 scores and report any issues by kickoff of Thursday night's game.

I can't wait to see what the officials do to keep Cleveland competitive with Baltimore on Thursday.

I think I'm just going to randomly pick until the real refs come back.

pffft. Stl was supposed to be about where they are. Ari was supposed to suck completely and are 3-0. Jac, well, they are simply the most messed up team in the NFL right now. God I hope the Lions don't play them as that would be all it took for them to snap out of it.

If anyone got that game wrong last night for shame.

3 people didn't submit. A handful more didn't lock. Everyone else earned 3 points.

Thank you non-submitters and those who didn't believe in the Ravens to lock them!

The Thursday game thing each week certainly cuts down on time to pick crap.

I did not submit! I completely forgot about the Thursday game.



Why couldn't I have forgotten last week when I picked Carolina????

Zack hasn't stopped me from doing it yet, but I just send him an email on Wednesday or Thursday with the Thursday pick, then I send him my Sunday/Monday picks either Saturday night or Sunday morning.

Yep, thus is fine if the time is an issue.

This week was much more positive. Average score is around 24.5 after Sunday's games.

Amazing what having real refs will do.

I went 5 for 5 on my locks this week!
That never happens.

I only picked 4 locks this week. I just didn't feel comfortable picking 5. I went 4-4 so I can't complain.

I didn't feel comfortable either but I went ahead and locked Arizona and Cincinatti. They both won.

Ya I considered locking Arizona and thought better of it. I did pick them to win though. Then again I locked Washington and they barely squeaked by. I hate that I root for my teams rivals.

I had originally picked Washington and then while typing my email to Zax decided to go with Tampa. Stupid Tampa.

Go Bears! This week was much better than last. Our average score jumped from 11 1/2 to 25 and chang. As usual, please submit any score corrections prior to Thursday's kickoff.

Aside from the horrible first week I'm doing pretty good. Famous last words.

I just knew that Arizona could keep it up. My god they beat the piss out of the QB. Felt bad for the guy.
