NFL Yardage Pool Competition 2011

Between that and Brees’ 400 yards and counting, I might be able to take the lead this week.

Ponder up to 79 yards with 5 minutes left to play.

Fuck my ass sideways.

112

=

119

Pretty sure that’s the worst week ever.

412/2 + 109 + 44 = 359

My shitty math suggests that I’m now 4 yards behind you on the season.

Don’t forget that the worst week per position is dropped. I’ve had some previously shitty weeks so that doesn’t help me too much, but it helps me some.

Stat tracker incorrectly told me NO had the ball, so I jumped the gun on grading.

It was actually
120
55

123

You had 134 a couple of weeks ago, so it will only help you by 11. Unfortunately, my worst week was 177, so dropping the worst week would have helped you a lot more anyway.

108/2 + 109 + 41 = 204

Nothing to write home about there, pissed I forgot to come back to the thread after seeing Hasselbeck was starting after all this morning. Looking at the splits it’s becoming clear that Locker needs to be starting in Tennessee.

It’s actually set up to drop the worst position-week, which I think we discussed in year one. So Chris Johnson’s 55 isn’t my worst. Actually, Harvin’s 8 isn’t worst for me either - Maclin put up 6 before being injured a few weeks ago. And… Cassel put up 93.

So… none of this week’s scores are actually my lowest.

Anyway, spreadsheet up.
Week 15

  1. RNATB 359
  2. Wilson 227
  3. Omni 204
  4. SenorBeef 123

Overall

  1. SenorBeef 4339
  2. RNATB 4331
  3. Wilson 4267
  4. Omni 3848
    I can’t believe I blew such a huge lead, but I guess it makes the last few weeks exciting.

I remember talking about that, but I thought we ended up sticking with dropping the worst complete week. This makes more sense, though.

So, your worst QB week is Cassel’s 93; mine is Romo’s 166. Definitely helps you more there. Your worst RB is Blount at 19; mine is CJ2K’s 4. We both have worst WR weeks at 6 yards (Lance Moore and Brandon Lloyd).

So the week drop will benefit you by ~19.5 yards more than it will benefit me, if I did the math right. I think it kind of pushes Wilson out of the running because his worst weeks at all three positions are significantly better than ours.

Week 16 Picks
Matt Moore
LeSean McCoy
Roddy White

Did RNATB make picks ahead of time that I didn’t see? I don’t think he has any picks…

It’s pretty bad this late in the season to be forced to pick late games.
I’m sitting at
284

138

Not bad so far.

Argh. I guess I’m taking whoever Chicago’s starting quarterback is, Ryan Grant and Roddy White.

Out of curiosity, do you know who you’d have picked?

Not really. I had saved Reggie Bush for this week, so definitely him. Most likely V-Jax and Andy Dalton.

Dalton put up 154, so whoever the Chicago QB is might be an improvement.

Probably Roddy White will be too. Jackson isn’t doing anything.

Michael Vick
Michael Bush
Brandon Marshall

293 /2 = 146.5 + 70 + 156 = 372.5.
