NFL Yardage Pool Competition 2011

Used:
QB: Eli Manning, Philip Rivers, Matt Schaub, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Cam Newton; Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers, Big Ben, Tony Romo
RB: Frank Gore, Darren McFadden, LeSean McCoy, Ryan Matthews, Arian Foster. Matt Forte, Rashard Mendenhall, Fred Jackson, Stephen Jackson
WR: Marques Colston, Calvin Johnson, Kenny Britt, Roddy White, Hakeem Nicks, Mike Wallace, Miles Austin, AJ Green, Brandon Lloyd
This week:
Mark Sanchez, MJD, Steve Smith (CAR)

Are you still interested in continuing Furt? Maybe you could do double picks every week until you catch up. If others are okay with that.

Normally I’d say the rules are the rules, but we’ve only got a few people playing as it is, and I’d like to keep you. Plus it’s probably not an advantage to get to pick later in the season when the worse weather tones down passing games.

What do you guys think?

qb - freeman, grossman, fitzpatrick, painter, stafford, rodgers, romo, roethlisberger, manning
rb - hillis, greene, mendenhall, forte, blount, turner, mcfadden, cj2k, jackson
wr - nicks, johnson, santana moss, calvin johnson, ec mike williams, bryant, cruz, bowe

Newton
MJD
Steve Smith 1.0

I forgot to post a link to the updated spreadsheet. You don’t actually need new links - you can bookmark that link and it’ll be up to date whenever I update it.

Week 9 scores:

Wilson 350
SenorBeef 296
RNATB 295
Omni 265

All our QBs sucked this week so it didn’t really set anyone back.

Cassel
McCoy
Maclin

Man did I fuck up this week. I think I saw Cassel with 51 yards.

Omni you still have to pick I think.

Used
QB - Philip Rivers, Rex Grossman, Drew Brees, Matthew Stafford, Matt Ryan, Jay Cutler, Ben Roethlisberger, Matt Cassel, Eli Manning
RB - Darren McFadden, Peyton Hillis, Michael Turner, Chris Johnson, Adrian Peterson, Shonn Greene, Ray Rice, Ryan Matthews, Steven Jackson
WR - Calvin Johnson, Greg Jennings, Brandon Marshall, Larry Fitzgerald, Percy Harvin, Miles Austin, Vincent Jackson, DeSean Jackson

Week 10 Picks
Aaron Rodgers
Frank Gore
Victor Cruz

212/2 + 114 + 33 = 253

Argh.

Well, RNATB copied two of my three picks, but my QB was better:

306/2 = 153 + 114 + 33 = 300 on the nose.

Barring Rodgers blowing up, I should “win” this week. I think that may be the third in a row for me.
I still haven’t gotten a WR that’s broken 100 yards yet.

tbd + 0 + 84…wtf?

ETA: OK, that was weird. Why did everything get changed to lowercase?

If you post in all caps, it gets all turned in to lower case by some board function. Leaving even a single character in lower case preserves the rest though.

I don’t even want to look up Cassel’s final yardage. Glad we drop one week.

Used:
QB: Eli Manning, Philip Rivers, Matt Schaub, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Cam Newton; Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers, Big Ben, Tony Romo, Mark Sanchez
RB: Frank Gore, Darren McFadden, LeSean McCoy, Ryan Matthews, Arian Foster. Matt Forte, Rashard Mendenhall, Fred Jackson, Stephen Jackson, MJD
WR: Marques Colston, Calvin Johnson, Kenny Britt, Roddy White, Hakeem Nicks, Mike Wallace, Miles Austin, AJ Green, Brandon Lloyd. Steve Smith (CAR)

Week 11:
Tom Brady, Demarco Murray, Anquan Boldin.

Also, I’m out of the country next week, and while I should have internet access, just in case I’m putting in Week 12 subject to change:
Matt Hasselbeck, Michael Turner, Greg Jennings

Spreadsheetupdated.
Week 10 scores:

Wilson 300
RNATB 253
Omni 209
SenorBeef 134
I do believe my 134 is the lowest score we’ve ever had, barely edging out furt’s 135 (who also used Cassel). Maclin was a fluke, McCoy did okay, but Cassel put up 93 whole yards. The weirdest thing… is that he’s still on the nfl.com page as the top passer for that game.

Glad we drop a week, but that brings you guys closer to me.

qb - freeman, grossman, fitzpatrick, painter, stafford, rodgers, romo, roethlisberger, manning, newton
rb - hillis, greene, mendenhall, forte, blount, turner, mcfadden, cj2k, jackson, MJD
wr - nicks, johnson, santana moss, calvin johnson, ec mike williams, bryant, cruz, bowe, Smith 1

This week:
Alex Smith
Marshawn Lynch
Greg Jennings

Palmer
MJD
Denarius Moore
Man going for Oakland receivers is a risky play, but I’m going boom or bust this week.

Ah fuck me.

164
87
14

I had such a huge lead in this league and I’m going to blow it.

I love that Greg Jennings turns out a 6 yard performance in the week I pick him, despite playing the 31st ranked defense in the league in a minor shootout and being covered all day by Aqib Talib’s bad hamstring.

267/2 + 88 + 6 (!) = 227.5

Fuck me. I used to be good at this.

234/2 = 117 + 73 + 35 = 225. Bad week for everybody - I don’t think Omni picked.

For week 12, change it to Josh Freeman instead of Hasselbeck.

:smack:

I’d be ok if you just made double picks this week Omni and no one else seems to care. Although we do drop a week so even if you don’t, I guess it’s not a crippling thing.
