Stonecutter's Third Annual NFL Playoff Pickem’
 

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.

Re: Stonecutter's Third Annual NFL Playoff Pickem’
 

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)

Re: Stonecutter's Third Annual NFL Playoff Pickem’
 

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

Re: Stonecutter's Third Annual NFL Playoff Pickem’
 

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.

Re: Stonecutter's Third Annual NFL Playoff Pickem’
 

by points do you mean doubloons?

Re: Stonecutter's Third Annual NFL Playoff Pickem’
 

I wont go in on the pool.


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

Re: Stonecutter's Third Annual NFL Playoff Pickem’
 

This is a really hard year for the wildcard round... it will take a lot of thinking...

Here are the matchups, by the way:

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

AFC
Jacksonville (5) at New England (4)
Pittsburgh (6) at Cincinnati (3)

Re: Stonecutter's Third Annual NFL Playoff Pickem’

3. Washington Redskins
4. Chicago Bears
7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
1. Carolina Panthers
11. Seatle Seahawks
12. New England Patriots
6. Cincinnati Bengals
10. Pittsburgh Steelers
9. Indinapolis Colts
2. Jacksonville Jaguars
5. Denver Broncos

Sorry about the whole mess of an order.

Re: Stonecutter's Third Annual NFL Playoff Pickem’
 

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

Re: Stonecutter's Third Annual NFL Playoff Pickem’
 

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?

Re: Stonecutter's Third Annual NFL Playoff Pickem’
 

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

Re: Stonecutter's Third Annual NFL Playoff Pickem’
 

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
10. New England Patriots
11. Seattle Seahawks
12. Indianapolis Colts

Re: Stonecutter's Third Annual NFL Playoff Pickem’
 

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

My 12 will be an AFC team.

Re: Stonecutter's Third Annual NFL Playoff Pickem’
 

I think so

Re: Stonecutter's Third Annual NFL Playoff Pickem’
 

Ok, here they are...the winning numbers

01-Jacksonville Jaguars
02-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

Re: Stonecutter's Third Annual NFL Playoff Pickem’
 

who would be?

Re: Stonecutter's Third Annual NFL Playoff Pickem’
 

I hope indianapolis DOES lose to new england.

Re: Stonecutter's Third Annual NFL Playoff Pickem’
 

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

Re: Stonecutter's Third Annual NFL Playoff Pickem’
 

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.

Re: Stonecutter's Third Annual NFL Playoff Pickem’
 

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... :>

Re: Stonecutter's Third Annual NFL Playoff Pickem’
 

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

Until you play Chicago.

Re: Stonecutter's Third Annual NFL Playoff Pickem’
 

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:

Re: Stonecutter's Third Annual NFL Playoff Pickem’
 

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

Re: Stonecutter's Third Annual NFL Playoff Pickem’
 

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

Re: Stonecutter's Third Annual NFL Playoff Pickem’
 

THANK GOD!

what would we do without your Gremlin?

Re: Stonecutter's Third Annual NFL Playoff Pickem’
 

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... :>

Re: Stonecutter's Third Annual NFL Playoff Pickem’
 

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.

Re: Stonecutter's Third Annual NFL Playoff Pickem’
 

1 and 2 and done and done :D

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

Re: Stonecutter's Third Annual NFL Playoff Pickem’
 

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.

Re: Stonecutter's Third Annual NFL Playoff Pickem’
 

Twelve points is good enough for now. The two games today should knock out some of the middle teams in our orders.

Re: Stonecutter's Third Annual NFL Playoff Pickem’
 

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

Re: Stonecutter's Third Annual NFL Playoff Pickem’
 

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

Re: Stonecutter's Third Annual NFL Playoff Pickem’
 

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

Re: Stonecutter's Third Annual NFL Playoff Pickem’
 

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

Re: Stonecutter's Third Annual NFL Playoff Pickem’
 

what, you actually thought Pittsburgh would lose?

Re: Stonecutter's Third Annual NFL Playoff Pickem’
 

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.

Re: Stonecutter's Third Annual NFL Playoff Pickem’
 

they would have if Palmer hadnt gone down

dammit!


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