Well, Calvin Johnson and the Detroit defense tried hard for me, but Cutler seriously let me (and Nate, sorry buddy) down. Not one INT returned for a TD or even an INT? And only 2 sacks? And why didn't Stafford ever throw the ball to CJ in the red zone? Ok, so maybe running out the clock to get a FG was the better move, but I needed a TD dammit. (I was half-expecting them to toss it to CJ when they first got it on the 6, netting me 6.6 points - and .25 less than Nee-sama.)

Dude I was sitting on the couch watching the last 5 min chanting "Score! But don't give it to CJ!" lol

Youch Shriner you are seriously snake bit with these losses, only two minutes away from sealing a win; so close yet so far away....

Reavers got screwed pretty bad too, talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory! Might have a tie for kick to the groin award this week...

Probably the ugliest matchup between the Thundercats and the Raiders. Thanks to the San Fransisco blowout to give the Tokyo Raiders -2 on defense and solidify a squeaky victory!

No kidding. Why couldn't Cutler do me and Nick a favor and just give a big F-U to the offensive line for the crappy protection and constant false starts by losing a fumble for six to end the game?

Kick to the Groin 'Winners':

-Week 1: Zatren6
-Week 2: Nate River.
-Week 3: Nate River.
-Week 4: Jwolf0.
-Week 5: Nate River and Insurrection (tie). Over/Under on the amount of beers Shriner had in him when Cutler threw enough real-world meaningless yards to cost him the game? I'm setting it at 4.5. And the infamous Stat Correction claims its first victim this week.

I think I'm going to beat Nee-sama's record this year.

If I drank beer, that might be right.

[roninmedia]

So two weeks so far this year when my team defense has like given me negative points.

I feel cursed.

[Jwolf0]

Maybe I should cut my coffee with something resembling food?

Nah.

Jwolf's Wildly Inaccurate Week 6 Predictions!

Kellers Frosted Flakes (Mik3) vs. Zatties! (Zatren6)
-Zatties! favored by ~7

I'm gonna drink the Stafford Shake rather than the Cammy Cam Juice because I like the meal around it more, especially the Run-DMCBurger. What a load that is.


Gama Warriors (Nee-sama) vs. Winless Wonders (Nate River)
-Winless Wonders favored by ~3

I BELIEVE. And yes, I was ready to start Andy Dalton in a different league too (Kevin Kolb can die in a fire.) I'm holding up my faith in those running backs again, along with Jermichael Finley.


Leatherbacks (Nick Soapdish) vs. Reavers! (Insurrection)
-Leatherbacks favored by ~14

And Insurrection is projected to put up over 100. Normally that will get you the chalk, but against this lineup? When will I pick against the soft shells? Maybe next week when Brady and Jackson go on bye. But not this week.


Tokyo Raiders (roninmedia) vs. All we do is lose (Illmatic)
-All we do is lose favored by ~7

For someone who still has a game manager rep like Flacco, he's been awful inconsistent. I'm not sure he gets his projection. Meanwhile on the other side, AARONRODGERS. THE CHAMP IS HERE. I normally don't pick the team with one or two huge projections and a bunch of little piddly ones, but it's AARONRODGERS.


The Wulfpack (Burning_wulf) vs. Ellicott Thundercats (True)
-Ellicott Thundercats favored by ~12

I consider this more like a 6 point spread after you take out Brandon Marshall and his idiotic declaration of getting kicked out of the game. That should mean Revis Island only locks him down for a quarter and a half before hitting the showers - not many points to be had there. I think the biggest factor though will be Delone Carter. With Addai out, I wouldn't be surprised to see an 11-point game from him. That plus Wes Welker should be enough to pull off the small upset.


Sparky McRandomsons (jwolf0) vs. The Golden Thumbs (Rick)
-Sparky McRandomsons favored by ~6

Am I REALLY starting Mike Thomas against a still decent Steelers secondary? Yuck. Team Longname is hoping to ride its two-and-a-half headed RB monster (Rashard Mendenhall, you are such a waste of a first round pick. Only my infamous 2004 Kevan Barlow pick is worse, and that was caused by timing out. Thanks, Yahoo!) and Tony Romo.

Overall pick record: 17-7

EDUT: Yeah, fixed. So maybe that 'food' thing would've been good after all.

[Nee-sama]

Week 4 predictions?

[Jwolf0]

>_>

These are not the projections you are looking for

/waves hand

Uh, yeah. Thanks.

[roninmedia]

That Fred Jackson trade.

[Insurrection]

That Fred Jackson trade.

Well it's hurting me this week. Thanks karma, I said that was a bad deal.

[Nick Soapdish]

That Fred Jackson trade.

I'm surprised, too. I thought that it'd shore up my running back corps at the cost of a good back-up, but he's been my ace running back rather than a decent #2 option.

Well it's hurting me this week. Thanks karma, I said that was a bad deal.

It's not hurting you that badly this week. So far, both Calvin and Vernon have been virtually silent.

[Insurrection]

Apparently Jim Harbaugh was TOO excited when he shook Jim Schwartz's hand and a fight broke out. Wow.

Also this Dallas v New England game is sloppy as hell.

[Jwolf0]

Wow Minnesota. Did you REALLY have to choose this week to rest your defense?

[True]

Roddy White is killing me. I used a 2nd rounder on him and he's not producing!!

[Nick Soapdish]

Wow Minnesota. Did you REALLY have to choose this week to rest your defense?

Yeah, that was just embarrassing.

Hey ronin, please don't pick up Christian Ponder. The Vikes need him to get some playing time this season and they finally look like they're ready to give it to him. Seriously, your luck with QBs has been dumbfounding. Are you trying to set some kind of record?

[Nee-sama]

Who is this Scott Chandler guy and why did I trade for him? lol

[Nate River]

FINALLY!

Sorry, Nee-sama. You just happened to be the first person I won against. I've been waiting to do that for a month.

Next week against Nick will be interesting.

[Nick Soapdish]

Sorry. I didn't even wind up keeping Fred Davis because Nate dropped Olsen who was more of a known quantity.

But I kinda think that you deserved it for saving up all your points to use against me. You couldn't even manage half of last week's total against Nate?

FINALLY!

Sorry, Nee-sama. You just happened to be the first person I won against. I've been waiting to do that for a month.

Next week against Nick will be interesting.

Congratulations!

It will be interesting. Especially since it's the bye week for Tom Brady, Fred Jackson and Vernon Davis, plus my #2 back, LaGarrettte Blount is injured. Let's see how my receivers can do with just scrubs as their supporting cast.
