I'd "drop a huge chunk of coin on the 49rs cover the spread" but can't pull the trigger on them in the Survival pool. [:D]


I've talked myself back and forth on most of the games...even had the pick as the 49rs but just can't do it.

I'm taking a chance this week. Prolly be the only one with The _________'s. A few upsets and it could pay off...



Lynn G. -> RE: 2012 Survival Pool (9/20/2012 3:17:41 PM)

That could end up being a good strategy down the road when you need to use a team that you may otherwise have used this weekend.

I went with a team I hate, but these crazy contests make us do that sometimes.



kgdabom -> RE: 2012 Survival Pool (9/20/2012 3:38:59 PM)

I am picking the "Aint's this week. I figure they can't go 0-16 so they have to win sometime.



Lynn G. -> RE: 2012 Survival Pool (9/20/2012 3:52:55 PM)

That's the hated team I went with too. [:D]



kgdabom -> RE: 2012 Survival Pool (9/21/2012 8:25:29 AM)

To those who picked the Giants at 16. Are you kidding me. In a week where the Giants are decimated by injuries and playing at Carolina. Congrats on getting it right. I lost one point on Carolina.



Todd M -> RE: 2012 Survival Pool (9/23/2012 4:03:36 PM)

Hey Ian...how much time did you spend on week 4 on?


[&:]

Kevin going to squeeze through with the Jets....barely. Joining Delain and I as the last 3.



Todd M -> RE: 2012 Survival Pool (9/28/2012 9:29:09 AM)

I guess the 3 of us move on.


Where are they exit posts? If you get eliminated you should come in and say something about it...otherwise what's the point?



Lynn G. -> RE: 2012 Survival Pool (9/28/2012 10:29:00 AM)

Well coincidentally I have been trying to think of something clever and witty to say about all of us being bounced already by the end of week 3, but I got nothing. Best of luck to those who remain and I hope someone makes it all the way to the very end. I don't think we've ever had anyone do that.



Todd M -> RE: 2012 Survival Pool (10/8/2012 3:58:15 PM)

I thought there would be an upset or two with who the other two survivors picked. Nope. 3 moving on.


This (week 6) has long been uncharted territory for me.



Lynn G. -> RE: 2012 Survival Pool (10/8/2012 4:03:11 PM)

You guys are the three rock stars. I hope someone makes it all the way until the end.



Todd M -> RE: 2012 Survival Pool (10/8/2012 4:22:37 PM)

Do they let you keep picking once you've won your pool?



Lynn G. -> RE: 2012 Survival Pool (10/8/2012 9:46:27 PM)

I always thought so, but I noticed that whoever won last year stopped picking after he was the last man standing - so maybe they don't. That would be a shame. It would be fun for the winner to see just how far he could go.



David F. -> RE: 2012 Survival Pool (10/11/2012 9:40:07 PM)

I'm sensing that Todd might walk away the champ this weekend!

HEY! That's awesome. I couldn't check who picked who until this morning but I seen this post last night and wondered...

I could go out in the same week and still be the winner, interesting. I had wondered about that. I guess the same would apply between knock outs in early vs late games.



Lynn G. -> RE: 2012 Survival Pool (10/12/2012 10:11:01 AM)

Congratulations Todd - you survived and won!

Now you'll be able to answer the question of whether you are able to keep picking next week even though you are the survivor.



Jim Frenette -> RE: 2012 Survival Pool (10/12/2012 10:58:00 AM)

2 years ago when I won, I had 3 weeks alone and kept picking



Todd M -> RE: 2012 Survival Pool (10/12/2012 2:15:10 PM)

Thanks Lynn!

What week did you make it to, Jim? Do you remember?

I thought if you lost everyone was still in?

Like I said, I was wondering about that.

There has to be a line, right? What if one game was decided in OT - did someone "Survive" longer and get the win?



Todd M -> RE: 2012 Survival Pool (10/12/2012 2:50:35 PM)

According to the rules:

In the event that the last Active members in a group are all Eliminated together in the same week, all are declared winners.


So I guess they can't take my winner status away but could add it to the other two knocked out this week.

All the way undefeated

Got it. I think you guys should keep playing in that case.



kevinemmer -> RE: 2012 Survival Pool (10/12/2012 7:47:46 PM)

Congrats Todd! [sm=dothewave.gif]

Boy, did Pittsburgh's Defense look suddenly old and slow last night.

Did not see that coming, even with Palomaulo out.



Todd M -> RE: 2012 Survival Pool (11/11/2012 11:06:28 PM)

Still going! I think picking Seattle was a great move. Hoping for a big upset tomorrow to knock out a bunch.



Lynn G. -> RE: 2012 Survival Pool (11/12/2012 8:25:51 AM)

What teams do you have left to pick from?
