Stonecutter's Third Annual NFL Playoff Pickem’

[Stonecutter]

You know the rules: pick all 12 playoff teams, rank them 1-12. Every time they win, you get that many points. Try and make your first weekend's losers your 1-4.


I'll post my picks later in the week, till then, get going.

[Perfect Stu]

curious

who won the first two?

I know I won one of them, I think I might've won both but I cant remember.

(best pool of the year, by the way)

[Krypton]

this'll be fun when I know who the 12 teams are... :mad:

[KillerGremlin]

Yuck.

NFC:
New York Giants
Washington Redskins
Chicago Bears
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Carolina Panthers
Seatle Seahawks

AFC:
New England Patriots
Cincinnati Bengals
Pittsburgh Steelers
Indinapolis Colts
Jacksonville Jaguars
Denver Broncos

This will require a bit of thinking, I'll post my points tomorrow. It's late, I need to work out tomorrow in like 6 hours...I'm tired. Yada yada yeah. So ummm...those are the teams, incoherent spelling errors pending. Me=tired.

[Krypton]

by points do you mean doubloons?

[Typhoid]

I wont go in on the pool.


But I will however say all of my support is behind the Seahawks. :(

[Bond]

Washington (6) at Tampa Bay (3)
Carolina (5) at NY Giants (4)

AFC

You might have won both. You won in 03, I found that sheet, did you win last year?

[Bond]

I actually think Stu won both years. Maybe I'll have a chance this time since the Packers aren't in the playoffs.

Will the Bears be getting your 12, Stonecutter?

I'm gonna allow you to take Green Bay for 12 again this year.... if you want to.

[Bond]

I'm really not confident in this ordering at all and I may change it later:

1. Jacksonville Jaguars
2. Washington Redskins
3. New York Giants
4. Cincinnati Bengals
5. Carolina Panthers
6. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
7. Pittsburgh Steelers
8. Chicago Bears
9. Denver Broncos

12. Indianapolis Colts

They'll be my 11 because I think they're better than Seattle.

My 12 will be an AFC team.

[Perfect Stu]

who would be?

[Krypton]

who would be?

I hope indianapolis DOES lose to new england.

[Bond]

Damnit, I meant to switch Tampa Bay and Washington before the game started. Oh well.

[KillerGremlin]

That was gay. When your defense plays that good, you deserve to win. Washington is going down, hard, next week.

If the Jaguars beat the Patriots I am probably going to go hang myself in my garage.

[DeathsHand]

That was gay. When your defense plays that good, you deserve to win.

If you want to talk about "Deserving to win", I could always mention how the Redskins would have beat Tampa Bay during the regular season had the Refs not given TB credit for the 2 point conversion when further reviewing showed that there was no way the ball could have crossed that line...

And if that play would have been called correctly, the Skins would have won and ended up division champs and had home field advantage (I believe) against I dunno who...

But none of that matters now, seeing as how they made the playoffs anyways and just knocked TB out :>

And next up is Seattle, whom the Skins beat in the regular season, and hopefully will beat again here in the post-season... :>

[KillerGremlin]

Yes, it's all good, it's all good.

Until you play Chicago.

[DeathsHand]

Yes, it's all good, it's all good.

Until you play Chicago.

I believe we beat Chicago during the regular season as well... 'Course that doesn't mean we'll beat 'em again, it just makes them seem like slightly less of a threat... :>

But we might not even have to play 'em, depending on wether or not one (or both) of them get knocked out before that potential match-up... :sneaky:

Who the **** is we? You got a mouse in your pocket?

[Bond]

Great... first two games and I'm already in last place... just great...

[Krypton]

If the Jaguars beat the Patriots I am probably going to go hang myself in my garage.

THANK GOD!

what would we do without your Gremlin?

[DeathsHand]

Who the **** is we? You got a mouse in your pocket?

Well, I'm saying "We" as if the Redskins are my team... You see I am what they call a 'Redskins fan', being that they are from Washington DC (despite their stadium being in like... Landover, MD), and Arlington is right across the river...

Fans sometimes say "We beat so and so, we did this we did that" when referring to the team they are a fan of... :>

[KillerGremlin]

Great... first two games and I'm already in last place... just great...

Don't feel too bad, I gave Tampa 6 points too. I figured with their awesome defense, that played awesome today, their offense would you know...not give the ball up 47 times.

[Perfect Stu]

Ok, here they are...the winning numbers

x01-Jacksonville Jaguars
x02-Tampa Bay Buccaneers
03-Carolina Panthers
04-Pittsburgh Steelers
05-New York Giants
06-Cincinnatti Bengals
07-Washington Redskins
08-Chicago Bears
09-New England Patriots
10-Denver Broncos
11-Seattle Seahawks
12-Indianapolis Colts

1 and 2 and done and done :D

I believe that is 16 points, gentlemen, with my 3-12 point teams still alive...

[ZebraRampage]

1. Carolina Panthers
x2. Jacksonville Jaguars
x3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
4. Cincinnati Bengals
5. New York Giants
6. Pittsburgh Steelers
7. Washington Redskins
8. Denver Broncos
9. Chicago Bears
10. New England Patriots
11. Seattle Seahawks
12. Indianapolis Colts


Well, my numbers 2 and 3 are out, and I have 17 points so far. Looks as though Stu and I are doing fairly well so far.

[Bond]

I'm really not confident in this ordering at all and I may change it later:

(x) 1. Jacksonville Jaguars (0)
(x) 2. Washington Redskins (2)
(x) 3. New York Giants (0)
(x) 4. Cincinnati Bengals (0)
5. Carolina Panthers (5)
(x) 6. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0)
7. Pittsburgh Steelers (7)
8. Chicago Bears
9. Denver Broncos
10. New England Patriots (10)
11. Seattle Seahawks (11)
12. Indianapolis Colts
Twelve points is good enough for now. The two games today should knock out some of the middle teams in our orders.

[Bond]

After the Giants/Panthers game:

Stonecutter: 12+2+5 = 19
Stu: 9+7+3 = 19
ZebraRampage: 10+7+1 = 18
Bond: 10+2+5 = 17
KillerGremlin: 10+2+5 = 17
Jason: 12+3+1 = 16

[Perfect Stu]

i like it, I like it...my 1, 2 and 5 teams are out...if Pitt loses, i had a close to perfect week

[ZebraRampage]

I hope that me putting Carolina at the bottom doesn't bite me in the ass later on in the playoffs.

[Bond]

i like it, I like it...my 1, 2 and 5 teams are out...if Pitt loses, i had a close to perfect week
And if the Steelers win you're in last place. And poof they won:

Stonecutter: 12+2+5+8 = 27
Jason: 12+3+1+10 = 26
ZebraRampage: 10+7+1+6 = 24
Bond: 10+2+5+7 = 24
KillerGremlin: 10+2+5+7 = 24
Stu: 9+7+3+4 = 23

[Jason1]

what, you actually thought Pittsburgh would lose?

[Stonecutter]

Stone 27
Jason 26
Bond 25
K Grem 24
ZR 24
Stu 23

Edit: wait, Bond, did you change your picks at some point? I have you having Pitt for 7, Car for 6 and Tampa for 5.

[Perfect Stu]

what, you actually thought Pittsburgh would lose?

dammit!


oh well, you guys are going to get molested in a week

[Jason1]

It will be a good game, I promise you that. I dont know if Pittsburgh will win, but they will give Indy a run for their money.

[Bond]

Stone 27
Jason 26
Bond 25
K Grem 24
ZR 24
Stu 23

Edit: wait, Bond, did you change your picks at some point? I have you having Pitt for 7, Car for 6 and Tampa for 5.
Nope. My original post hasn't changed since the 2nd:

1. Jacksonville Jaguars
2. Washington Redskins
3. New York Giants
4. Cincinnati Bengals
5. Carolina Panthers
6. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
7. Pittsburgh Steelers
8. Chicago Bears

11. Seattle Seahawks
12. Indianapolis Colts

I should only have 24 points.

[ZebraRampage]

It looks like I have 50 points now, but I haven't looked at anyone else's scores yet. I got a bit screwed, especially with Carolina, but what can I do about it.

[Stonecutter]

Bond and SC: 56
Jason and K Grem: 53
Stu: 51
ZR: 50


*sigh* Oh well. At least the Colts lost.

[Stonecutter]

IF, Superbowl:

Seattle Over Pitt: Bond and Jason tie Bond picked 52, Jason picked 38
Seattle Over Den: Bond
Carolina Over Pitt: Stonecutter
Carolina Over Den: Bond
Denver Over Car: Bond
Denver Over Sea: Bond
Pittsburgh Over Car: Stonecutter
Pittsburgh Over Sea: Jason

[Krypton]

It will be a good game, I promise you that. I dont know if Pittsburgh will win, but they will give Indy a run for their money.

you got that right.

and they did.

[Stonecutter]

All I have to say is....


BANG! (http://www.bangcartoon.com/popupCartoon.php?movie=2005archive/mannings.swf)

[Perfect Stu]

lol

i dont get how you're more concerned with manning choking more than your own defense, though. i thought you were a fan?

[Stonecutter]

My defense is out of it, thinking about it isn't fun
Manning is out of it, thinking about it IS VERY FUN!

[Perfect Stu]

as long as somebody's getting their jollies

[Jason1]

So did I win yet?

[Stonecutter]

Sorry all.

I've been so busy since 2nd semester started, here's the totals
