been discussed in depth. last season your top guys were better than our top guys sans DWarren. Your bottom 2/3 of the conference was horrific. AFC bottom dwellers are a threat to madden their asses off and pull off an upset. Mitahl Cardinals were the first NFC cellar team to show this kind of potential.
Have you considered that the reason that your bottom dwellers are capable of pulling off upsets is because they are beating teams in the weaker AFC conference?
Ludicrous I'd put the browns bengals texans jets chargers chiefs against rams cardinals giants saints panthers bears AAAAAAAAALL DAY. Jury is out on your new Thunderbird recruit until he actually shows us that he's alive
well you get me in Miami and I'm the worst road team in the league so my guys will likely be dragged for a few football fields by your RB and your DBs will make INTs that you never thought possible.
In light of the new queer voting council for cheese, I'd like some updated rules as to what is classified as "cheese" or whatever will be voted on. You can't say you want a true simulation league when you have people playing WRs at RB and CJ Spiller at FB. And literally half the league runs certain pass plays 10+ times a game, ie - last night victor ran a shallow crossing route to Patrick Stumph at least 10 times. This is no different than running "antonio brown verts multiple times in a row." I didn't complain because I was too busy winning. He's not even the worst about it by a long stretch. DWarren runs the PA Roll right and throws to a corner or his FB in the flat a dozen times a game. These are the exact same things that Nelson was complaining about and threatening repercussions. So if we're actually gonna do some policing (which i think is retarded because as previously stated - everyone has their money plays and runs them in on 3rd and long, myself included) then we need to actually know what the guidelines are because this "I'm the commissioner and I'm mad so we're gonna vote on this" is comical. Thanks PS - the asian is hanging out with me on sunday for the super bowl. I'm pretty sure I'll be getting more of those monstrous jugs sent to me. But due to backstabbing and empty promises during the voting today, I hate that I will not be able to share them with the league. I do have smaller groupme groups that are good on their word and deserve the tits for being men of their word. they will be rightly rewarded. PPS - I haven't cheesed a single time in this league this is purely to avoid future episodes of groupme crying sessions over things that are within the rules or policed in an arbitrary manner
Week 14 Lines: Falcons -21.5 Thunderbirds Jaguars vs cpu faggot Bears +14.5 Ravens Diablos -8 Saints Chargers -3.5 Eagles Bengals +2.5 Browns Rams +17 Texans Vikings -4 Panthers Giants pk Cardinals Cowboys -2.5 Chiefs Dolphins +6 Jets Colts -1 Pats Lions -4 Packers Broncos +17 Redskins 49ers +9.5 Seahawks Steelers +6 Bats
Playoff Races First, we shall predict the top 5 tank-off: Oops Rams with a 1-game lead at 0-12. 2nd Divisional matchup looming vs. Mitahl Cardinals that could see him accidentally win one. We're still projecting him to get the #1 pick Thunderbirds holding tight at 1-11 and didn't fare well in the first user game of the year. Team has been a shit show of owner musical chairs and it'd be wise for him to just practice and make sure to lose every game to help with building a team. 4 tough matchups remain, 1-15 eminent Chiefs at 2-10 also inherited an empty team on a losing streak. However this one is trying to win and just has been unable to get out of his own way. Good chance to take a couple vs the Eagles and Giants in the final two weeks to give him momentum going into next year. Weird scheduling that he plays all 4 NFCE teams in a row at the end of the year. Conservative projection at 3-13 but 4-12 wouldn't be a surprise. / 5. Currently a big log jam at 3-9/4-8. The Bears certainly have a shot but have big matchups vs. the 4-8 Bengals and 3-8(9) Cardinals left that could be swing games. The Bengals likely last chance at 5 wins is vs. the Browns in week 14. And the remaining Saints-Panthers matchup in 2 weeks will decide who is probably in the #4 spot. We'd like to think it shakes out like this: #1: Rams #2: Thunderbirds #3: Saints - losing at carolina in the rematch carolina has circled #4: Giants #5: wtf are the reverse tiebreakers??? We'll go with the Bears. Mitahl is getting his sticks going and could win a few down the stretch.
Bears have overhauled their schemes. They just beat a decent Vikings team. I don't know what their schedule is like, but I could see them winning another game or two.
Next up. AFC AFCN: Ravens cheesing their way to a #1 seed but have potential losses @ Packers, vs. Lions (lets see if these NFC guys are as good as they say they are) and then @ Browns after the nailbiter earlier in Baltimore. Prediction: 15-1 dropping one of these last 3 games, maybe because he calls plays like a normal human. AFCS: Colts have a 3 game lead as well as a commanding lead in the divisional record tiebreaker. Only hope of someone topping him would be the Jaguars and Texans running the table on him in the last 3 games and the Pats beating him in week 14. We don't see the Colts dropping 4 straight, but could lose 1-2 down the stretch. Prediction: 11-5 AFCE: Dolphins last 3 games vs. Tankerbirds, Diablos and MIA Chargers. He currently has the tiebreaker locked up at 4-2 giving him the edge over what could be a 12-4 Pats team Prediction: 12-4 w/ loss to the Jets and winning out the final 3 AFCW: Bats with a 3 game lead and vs. Steelers, at eagles, at cowboys and vs broncos remaining. Would have to drop all 4 to lose the division and miss the playoffs. Prediction: 12-4 winning out and stealing the #2 seed and 1st round bye from the Dolphins via h2h tiebreaker Wildcard: Steelers 7-4 have vs lions, at bats, at browns, at bengals, vs. jets. tough stretch and the Bats and Browns are tough to beat on their home turf. Due to the Steelers not having a win vs. a team with a record over .500 we're gonna have to predict him at 9-7 and missing the playoffs, with losses to the lions, bats and jets. He could surprise us and go into week 17 with a win to get in matchup Patriots 8-4 are likely in the playoffs at one wildcard spot. Matchup this week vs. the Colts could decide whether he goes 12-4 or 11-5, with the remaining schedule being at falcons, at chargers, at tankerbirds. If the Chargers actually played his games, he could potentially beat him. And the Falcons haven't fared well vs. good opponents this year (except the Fins how the hell did that happen?) so we'll put the Patriots at 12-4 winning out. Jets getting screwed in week 1 gonna make him have to fight for a playoff spot. Big game vs. the Dolphins this week and then finishes with vs diablos, at panthers, at steelers. Likely he could go into the matchup vs. the Steelers in a game deciding the final wildcard spot. We'll predict him to win out due to a "unique playcalling style" at 11-5. Prediction: Patriots 12-4 Jets 11-5 Games to watch: Week 14 Dolphins at Jets Colts at Patriots Steelers at Bats Week 15 Steelers at Browns Week 16 Patriots at Chargers (if rv12 plays his damn games) Bats at Cowboys - could decide whether the bats go 12-4 or 11-5 Week 17 Broncos at Bats Ravens at Browns - UPSET ALERT JETS AT STEELERS Chargers at Dolphins - again... rv12 play your games please these last two have big implications Seeding: #1 Ravens #2 Bats #3 Dolphins #4 Colts WC 1: Pats WC 2: Jets
Actually he used to always predict losses for his brother, but Nelson threatening to kick little Lank out of the league brought the whole family together.
.........................................still trying to figure these out. Seems like the AFC all had front-loaded schedules and the NFC backloaded. nearly impossible to figure out with so many games that could go either way. Someone that pays more attention to the NFC feel free the only people I've really seen this season are the seahawks, redskins, 49ers, and lions. They're all tossups. i.e.- Seahawks 11-0 but have cards, 9ers, rams, skins, cowboys. could be 16-0 or 13-3 Lions have Steelers, Packers, Ravens could be 14-2 or 12-4 Packers with Lions, Ravens could also be 12-3 or 10-5 I guess I can do predictions here, but given the aforementioned swing games it's not easy. Going alphabetical 49ers: 12-4, loss to Seahawks and win out Cowboys: 12-4 dropping the last 2 vs. bats and seahawks (rip gbg's spank bank) Falcons: 10-5 losing to pats and winning the south Lions: 12-4 losing at packers and at ravens, winning the North via 2nd tiebreaker (that's either Conf Record - the correct one - or Alphabetical EA tiebreaker) Packers: 12-4 losing to ravens Redskins: 14-2 losing at seahawks winning the east Seahawks: 16-0 but finish with 2 tough ones vs skins and at cowboys winning the west would put it at: #1 Seahawks #2 Redskins #3 Lions #4 Falcons WCs: honestly with the way it shook out last year I wouldn't doubt if it goes alphabetical again 49ers and Cowboys Just for GBG's penis: the cowboys could solidify the wildcard spot with a W over the bats in week 16.
favorable as in - beating you? Pretty logical prediction that he beats the Diablos and Panthers and Steelers... and if I had a shit team and were like 4-8 i would predict that I still keep playing like shit. but outside of the Broncos maddening game and Redskins, my other two losses were on last second drives. 2-3 plays away from being 10-2. I don't think predicting me to beat the steelers, eagles or broncos (home team is undefeated in this series) is anything but reasonable. The Cowboys game is legitimately a toss up of course I'm gonna pick me it's my predictions Jets have one of the easier remaining schedules. Kinda cute that canesfan gets upset and I predicted him to win his division...
GBG_24 will be happy to see that, although I plan on wining against Carolina to make the Jimmy trade look better on paper.
Betting your sex life on me is a bit bold but I like it. Havent played big lank in this years game yet but I like my chances. I think I have the better team, at home, and I'm NFC battle tested. I give myself a 65% chance of winning.
did look over your team and it's pretty solid. I think I have the speed on D to keep your offense in check. Your front 7 on D is quite strong. You'll be a ~4 point favorite due to home field advantage but Maddening could swing this one either way. despite what the box score says, the redskins-bats game was close until midway through the 3rd when I threw a pick 6 that opened the floodgates. Think it was 7-0 end of the 1st and 2nd TD came via my dumbass SS trying to jump a post route and whiffing altogether to give him an 87 yard TD midway through the 2nd. Game got out of hand once I was down 21-0 and started blitzing every play.
you know what's bullshit about this game? shifting along the line and being called for encroachment happens every fucking time
If I'm a dt and shift left or right and their ol jumps, it's an encroachment each time on me. So infuriating
Can I at least sign a shitty QB? Cutler retired on my ass and I have 1 and I don't want the CPU deciding who my backup is.
Just sign a really really shitty guy as a backup until FA opens up for everyone if you want to play preseason?
We are advancing Friday night (2/19) at 7 pm est, Saturday (2/20) at 5 pm est, Sunday (2/21) at Noon est, and Sunday (2/20) at 3 pm est, with the draft at 7 pm est. I hope this is helpful.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH MISS LIPPY GBG_24 WILL YOU NOW BE PROVIDING US WITH 2017 WEEK 15 POWER RANKINGS???
Week 15 power rankings had to feature the Bats near the top. They were flying pretty damn high before that Cowboys match up.
Bravo on this. Pretty much nailed it all except the Bats/Boys & Lions/Packers. I think the Falcons beat the Pats too but I don't remember. Very good predictions though
