SoSH Survivor Pool - Week 2 Discussion

[tims4wins]

Held
to FG attempt

 

[tims4wins]

LOL

 

[glennhoffmania]

Oh fuck this.  I'm glad I took Miami in my own pool.

 

[tims4wins]

Saying fuck this is too simplistic. We need to look closer at our strategy. Playing the average on NO was dumb.

 

[glennhoffmania]

Oh my god.  Still alive.  Tampa is giving them the game if they want it.
 
I agree.  I wanted to short them, but not because I thought they'd lose.

 

[tims4wins]

Saints score a TD and blow the PAT. Just LOL

 

[glennhoffmania]

Unreal.  I'm glad I can't watch that game.

 

[tims4wins]

TB in 3rd and long. Imploding

 

[tims4wins]

But converted. Wow

 

[Papelbon's Poutine]

Plenty of time left. Let's all stay off ledges and bridges. It certainly may be true we should revisit but one or two picks difference at this point is over reactionary and revisionist. Most every agreed TB is terrible. Upsets happen and it hasn't even yet. There's still plenty of time for that game to turn around.

 

[tims4wins]

LOL Rob Ryan. 3rd and 20 conversion for TB on a screen

 

[dynomite]

TB in a 3rd and 20 and miraculously converts. This is painful.

Edit: OH NO!!!! Penaltyy TB! Called back!!

 

[tims4wins]

Tripping call called back

 

[tims4wins]

Held

Saying fuck this is too simplistic. We need to look closer at our strategy. Playing the average on NO was dumb.

Seems like pool came in around 38% on NO which is on the lower end. Lesson learned.

 

[glennhoffmania]

You guys confused me with the conversion posts.  My tracker hadn't updated.  One last chance for Brees.

 

[tims4wins]

Saints fumble. Just giving this away

 

[bostonbeerbelly]

Nice win by the Redskins to knock out 471 entries who had the Rams

 

[glennhoffmania]

Oh my god again.  This game is a comedy.

 

[mauidano]

Oh my god again.  This game is a comedy.

Dark comedy. Saints are toast.

 

[glennhoffmania]

Ok well we're on to Miami.

 

[tims4wins]

Brees will have one more possession

 

[glennhoffmania]

I predict they score and miss the PAT.

 

[wade boggs chicken dinner]

I predict they score and miss the PAT.

They are going to go for 2.



and fail.

 

[wade boggs chicken dinner]

Jimmy Smith not supposed to give up plays like that

 

[tims4wins]

LOL Saints. Got a free offsides play fumbled lost 10 secs

 

[tims4wins]

Gonna lose all 21 today ha

 

[tims4wins]

Hail mary time

 

[tims4wins]

Ovah

 

[DanoooME]

4,000+ entries are going down today.

 

[Buffalo Head]

Raiders up 10, jags up 7. Try again next year!

 

[Manzivino]

Edit: wrong thread

 

[edmunddantes]

Just like last year with Game 2 and the Browns.
 
New Orleans is just horrible against bad teams in week 2.

 

[tims4wins]

No they are just horrible. Six straight home losses

 

[wade boggs chicken dinner]

What were the odds that all of NO, BAL, and MIA loses?

 

[edmunddantes]

Miami is going to be fine I think.
 
Plenty of time left.

 

[mauidano]

Miami is going to be fine I think.
 
Plenty of time left.

As is Baltimore. I think.

 

[Kenny F'ing Powers]

Vegas did take a beating last week so I'm sure they will appreciate the donation.  :c070:

I hope they enjoyed their continued beating at my hands.

But not the Steelers

I know you're joking, but that's not what I said:

San Francisco 49ers at Pittsburgh Steelers 1: I like the Steelers, but not enough to wager a ton of picks on them.

I liked the Steelers fine, just didn't want them to be our biggest pick. Oh well. I did pick NO, and I should have known better. The NFC south is a joke.

Let's go Miami/Baltimore?

 

[tims4wins]

I guess what really frustrates me is that we are in the totally unique position of having 20+ entries in a costly pool which allows us to diversify and not risk losing a bunch of picks on a single game, then we only took 3 teams - 2 of which were road teams. It just wasn't a good approach

How many are you down to if the Jags pull it out?
 
Edit: All of them. Heh?

 

[tims4wins]

Miami is going down. 4 entries left - or possibly 0

 

[glennhoffmania]

What an incredibly stupid team. I'd fire Philbin right now.

 

[Kenny F'ing Powers]

How the fuck does Miami still have a chance here?

 

[bostonbeerbelly]

This sucks

 

[DanoooME]

Fuck you Miami

 

[mauidano]

Carnage happened today. Disaster.

 

[Dollar]

We should find that one guy who picked Tampa today and recruit him for Team SoSH next year.

 

[Kenny F'ing Powers]

Carnage for most of the pool.

If we can walk out of this with 4 picks, I'll fucking take it...

 

[Buffalo Head]

Since we're about to be completely eliminated, can I make a suggestion for next season? If we have 20+ entries or whatever, can we set teams of three for each sheet and delegate responsibility to those teams of three? This group-think approach is a proven loser.

 

[glennhoffmania]

I'm shocked and depressed.
