WTF is that about? Weird. It's not a forum game at all.

Anything with a limit on the number of players gets moved here. Zaxxon's OONFL is a good example. Its the same type of thing and is limited to the people signed up at the start.

And I'm pretty sure I was eliminated this week, unless San Diego losing to Oakland was a Nyquil induced hallucination.

I'm definitely eliminated since I forgot to make a pick.

CFL fan tied for first... oh the shame.

That was a rough week across the board. Glad we have a 2-strikes policy this time around

so irked

I actually had jacksonville picked and went with Cincinatti.... mutter.

I got knocked out last week.

Still standing, even after picking my leos on week 1.

My one loss is the week I forgot to pick (2 weeks ago )

Still alive! Two strikes is awesome. I get to pick the Lions and still be in it. Woot! Though this the first tough week. My "good" picks are all out of the way and I have a series mediocre teams against mediorcre teams and crappy teams against crappy teams to pick from this week. I was hoping for a decent mediocre team against a crappy team match up. Aw well.

Bow down biotches.

I forgot who I picked and can not check from work. Am I out?

No one is out. All the picks were NYG or PIT with Hell's Taco taking NYJ.

The pickin's are getting slim though. I think I know who I'm going with this week, but now I need to start looking at the injury reports...

Remus, you picked Chicago and got knocked out.

I'm guessing next week is going to be doosey with most people having picked the same blow out picks leading up to this week.

That'll teach me to go from memory. I remember several people were knocked out earlier, but I must have mis-read the results.

I picked Chicago?

I hate the Bears. Serves me right to get knocked out picking them.

Time to scale back on the drinking? I wouldn't trust the Bears to win any game, so they won't be getting picked for a while.

Who knows. Maybe it is time to increase the drinking as I didn't go out at all last week.

If u.really.want to.go out, pick the Lions. :p

Already did.

BUF FG attempt made! OT looming...

34-34

Goooo BUF!

BUF fumble, 15 yd penalty, bal on BUF 29, BAL has possession... Damn.

38yd fg attempt

BAL wins and my Broncos are losing 21-0 with 7 minutes played... Well crap. I shoulda just played it safe.

That sound you hear is 50%+ of the survivors left breathing a sigh of relief.

And the others groaning. Another tough week, esp as (at least for me) the pickin's are starting to get lean...

1 - 5 record is worth a lock, right?

And Kansas City makes most of the league survive... barely..

I was so pulling for Buffalo. I figured almost all of you bet on KC. That could have been awesome.

The Meal who took... twitch... Dallas....
Yeah that could have ended poorly for 5 people.. Monkey would have been fine...He pwas probably rooting for a loss by the end

i still have: Bucs, bears, Patriots, Jets, Saints, Texans, Colts, Steelers, Seahawks, Eagles and Dolphins with winning records left to pick from... I'm not hurting terribly... as long as the bills keep playing

Good Luck picking a Bears, Bucs, or Seahawks win.

Bucs should win this week, but there are other... less fortunate teams I would gladly pick em against... they gave me my only strike when palmer decided to give them the game at the end... stupid Cincinnati...

In utilizing 1-5 teams coming into this weekend, I chose... poorly.

Good luck to everyone left in the pool and thanks to theohall for setting it up!

TB at Atlanta is a should win? Depends which Atlanta team shows up. I don't really see the Bucs offense scoring with them nor the Bucs defense keeping them down enough. I would expect Turner and Snelling to have big games against the Bucs 30th ranked run defense - and stacking the box won't help them against the Falcons.

Well I agree in theory Atlanta should win, but the bucs actually play better on the road than home this season... I expect some kind of day where the bucs just irk the falcons in all the right ways.

I have:

Bears
Jets
Texans
Dolphins
Seahawks
Giants
Eagles
Packers
Colts

with winning records, but I don't trust a lot of them...

In my non-OO Survivor pool, winning records left:

Bucs
Bears
Jets
Fins
Texans
Seahawks
Giants
Eagles
Steelers

4-4 Raiders are also available.

It should be safe taking the Giants in their next NFC Least game, or just wait until they play Dallas. How in the heck does anyone pick the Bills vs Bears game? It's going to be a tough week, unless I actually use the Giants.

You can use steelers now... Honestly... start looking at each teams schedule and figure out a week thats best for that team... Jets will have a few decent easily winnable games left after the lions its cleveland then cinci 2 weeks afterward.

The Bills will eventually win a game... but I like my chances of it not happening a lot

Steelers should trounce a team or two this season... As far as Bills vs Bears... I probably would leave it alone, the Bills are due. Who do the texans play next week?

Best you can do is plan out as much as possible and hope some people falter or a some upsets happen
