Certainly fine with me.

I'm OK with that but I'm still not sure what we are playing for?

I'm pretty sure JC and I are in as far as wagers go but any other Ironman entries? What's the stakes?

moghedian · Post by **moghedian** » Fri Sep 10, 2010 7:48 pm

I'm good for a $10 scratch ticket with JC.

Jiffy · Post by **Jiffy** » Fri Sep 10, 2010 8:09 pm

I'm up for putting $10 toward whatever as well (ie buying and sending a scratch card to winner, simple money pool, etc).

I'm Canananadian, but live on the Michigan border and cross regularly, so I can at least send a US scratch card. Unless the winner ends up wanting a Canadian one for novelty. And same offer of cashing it and sending back the winnings (no tax in Canada on lottery winnings either!).

Remus West · Post by **Remus West** » Fri Sep 10, 2010 11:54 pm

So, $10 scratch off ticket from each of the losers to the winner then?

And $10 from Remus West to me. By Sunday.

Sounds good.

Should I just send you my address now, since I'm going to win anyways?

Ironman picks in.

Grievous Angel and pr0ner, final reminder!

Zaxxon · Post by **Zaxxon** » Sun Sep 12, 2010 10:16 am

Also, I have a hike today and likely won't be able to send out a score update until after the 2nd set of games. I also don't normally divulge any trends until after I have all the picks, but I don't think this info will help GA or pr0ner given that it's week 1, and I think the rest of you may find it interesting while you watch games today:

PIT-ATL is split fairly evenly, as are CLE-TB, DEN-JAX, BAL-NYJ and ARI-STL.

CHI-DET has locks both ways, as does PHI-GB.

Good luck, all!

pr0ner · Post by **pr0ner** » Sun Sep 12, 2010 10:58 am

I didn't see your stat post before I made my picks, Zack, so it didn't affect my picks in any way.

Heh, a lot of optimism on both sides? I predict a classic 6-6 final, in which Cutler throws for 5 picks and the Lions simply don't know what to do with the football once they have it in their hands.

Pffft. The Lions actually seem to have an offense so they should put up points. The Lions also seem to have no defense so Chicago should put up points. This is more likely a classic 107-109 game.

I don't think anyone will need a defense to sack Cutler this season. Just get near him, waive a hand, and he will fall down. With the Bears disaster of an OL, Vanna White could sack him.

iNT Loins! (I locked da Bears.) DET's defensive front is bringing pressure! (When has that ever happened before?)

TD Best!

Loins with a red zone fumble recovery!

Bears OL 4 the loss. Along w/ Cutler on his way w/ the INT already.

Pffft...you were correct right up until Backus showed them how you really screw your QB. Let a guy come completely free on his blind side during the two minute drill.

Remus West · Post by **Remus West** » Sun Sep 12, 2010 4:12 pm

Detroit just took that one totally up the ass. Full catch with both feet down in the end zone. Fuck you NFL officials.

The Meal · Post by **The Meal** » Sun Sep 12, 2010 4:14 pm

That's a crappy rule, but one that is pretty consistently officiated.

That really sucks about Stafford.

I hope it's not serious.

I had ATL (PIT had the OT winner), TB (winner), and JAX (currently up by a TD). I locked the right team in the DET-CHI nail biter.

If, by rule, that isn't a td then something is wrong with the rules.

I completely agree. When he lands on his hip with the ball in complete control that should be the end of the play. But with this being a one-hand snag that wasn't chested, he's got to keep possession of the ball through his motion at the ground. Since the ball squibbed out at the ground: incomplete.

Thats the biggest beef I have. It wasn't a one handed catch. He had the ball firmly in both hands before letting go with one hand as he fell to the ground. His feet and hip are on the ground before either hand leaves the ball. The idea that he has to be able to roll over and get up with the ball after that is BS.

He brings it to his chest on the way down and Detroit leads the NFC North.

Rams game. Chris has had his helmet ripped off twice with a clear hand on the facemask ripping it off. No call on either play. Fox replayed of them because they have Long on ISO cam.

Zaxxon · Post by **Zaxxon** » Sun Sep 12, 2010 8:10 pm

Agreed that the DET-CHI game ended in a supremely crappy way. Although my team benefited from the rule, I concur that it's a really crappy rule. But the call was clearly correct, and I'll take the W and will shed but a single tear at the Bears' suckage. At least Forte had a 200-yd day.

I snickered at my wife's picks this morning--PIT w/o Roethlisberger against the annointed Falcon? No lock of Manning? Locking the Bears? Guess she's getting the last laugh for now...

Yep, you had the order swapped on two games and I didn't catch it. Fixed and will show in the next update.

No kidding, the worst part is that was at least the third time in the game he'd put a rusher in a choke hold like that.

Wish the Rams would have had that ref. Brandon Keith did that, along with repeated hands to the face to Chirs Long, the entire game and never got called for it.

As to #71, now you know why the Rams traded him for Carpenter, even if they cut Carpenter. That has been Barron's M. O. his entire NFL career. 1) Multiple penalties against in a game - check 2) Game deciding penalty - check. Enjoy him Dallas fans.

ah, this is where the thread went... Was wondering how I did. wish I didn't see

And I wished I didn't email Zax prior to the game to lock the niners
