NFL Week 11 Picks

[Plow]

If people want to make real statements against the patriots, when it becomes apparent they're not winning no matter what, toss in their absolute worst guys, put a DT that never sees the field regardless in at QB, etc, and laugh as the pats beat themselves up meaninglessly just like they were going to do anyway.

[Ishido]

If you think they shouldn't have gone for it because they might hurt the other team's feelings, please stop watching the NFL. Teams aren't out there to make every feel good about themselves and just play their hardest, they are there to win and let other teams know why they are better. At that point of being up, who cares who does what? The game is over. If the score hurts your feeling at the end of the day, grow a fucking pair of balls. Grown men crying over this shit is ridiculous.
To quote Mike Ditka "If you don't like it, then STOP THEM"

and lol@ your cheating comment. I'm sure the patriots were unstoppable because they cheat, yep

Seriously, I dislike the Patriots as much as anyone else, but changing the score from 42-10 to 49-10 has no effect on the outcome of the game whatsoever. Every single person on the field is a professional athlete, they should not be losing sleep because they lose by an additional 7 points (even moreso when it will be called a rout in either result). People all year have expected the Patriots to shit all over every other team they've played (except maybe the Cowboys?) and people still whine about it when it comes true.

I think the biggest story this week is that Grossman had no INTs! Even though he had a fumble.

At my cheating comment? I never said anything about them cheating, I meant don't bring up the argument of people bringing up the cheating to do this stupid shit.

Mike Dikta and people who think this way are fuckin idiots and are the reason I hate cocky SoBs.

[Demosthenes11]

great, I many people make arguments, and you just say "I hate cocky SoBs"

You know, I think im gonna change my mind to your view, you have convinced me

With my statement of I hate cocky SoBs isn't an arguement it is a statement. I never set myself out to convince you, lol. I don't really care what you or anyone thinks, oh wait I am going to lose sleep over this tonight shit...

From my personal experience in sports, people had enough respect for another team when they are up, by enough, to not run up the score. I guess it is the difference between a person having class and not.

I am about to go into Nyzul, I will either forget about this thread or just go to sleep. So I guess just ignore all my posts from now on out.

if a player or team is scared of having the score run up against them, they have no business taking the field. its not pretty but it happens, and it's something that will always happen. its just happening a lot more this year because the patriots are leaps and bounds ahead of the majority of teams in the nfl. seriously, it happens to EVERYONE, even the patriots. i remember them losing 38-0 like 4 or 5 years ago against the bills and no one really gave two shits about it. if a team is gonna win big, the difference between 3 and 7 points is arbitrary, even if it means going for it on 4th down.

i think it usually hurts the fans a lot more than it hurts the players / coaches

[Demosthenes11]

when does it stop being running up the score? When they knee the ball whenever they have it after they are up by 28+? Why should a team stop playing hard when they are up? It's so difficult for me to fathom that this is even a topic of discussion in a league full of grown men being payed millions of dollars per year.

Why can't the patriots go for 4th and 1 on the opponent's 2 in the early part of the 3rd quarter? Will a field goal really be more "sportsmanlike"? Such a liberal "self-confidence, make the other team feel good about themselves even while you win" attitude is so stupid in a league like this.

[Tyche]

Never had a problem with the score, but keeping brady in when they were up 30=something was absurd. He pulled him pretty early this game.

Upsetting me in the process because he only had 54ish fantasy points. =[

belichick has brady on his fantasy team and doesnt pull him until tom has secured victory for that week.

[Stolin]

Lets find something new in the NFL to complain about every week. Like how annoying Terry Bradshaw is.

[Keno]

I thought it would have been amazing (and a wonderful show of sportsmanship) if Brady and Moss had just showered and dressed up in suits at half time. Then at the start of the second half they'd sit at the sideline and eat a delicious steak dinner with their respective girlfriend/wife, all the while watching the Bills feebly try and make up the 28 point deficit those two put them in.

Dunno why, but I think the photo is pretty cool.

Man, my fantasy football week was crazy. I played Tyr in the BG league, and was the underdog according to the projected scores (first time this season). I think I was around 50 points down or so going into tonight's Pats game. Brady scored 54.

10-1 now.

Yeah.. I was only down ~15.. and then Brady got me 54. D: I still have Lendale White playing too, assuming he starts tomorrow. I know he got hurt, so it's up in the air. Shooting for the top score of the week again..woo. D:

[Keno]

Went 12/15 this week so far on picks. Assuming the Titans can wrap it up tonight I'll be 13/16 for the week, not bad...

[Dense]

Chicago MUST franchise Devin Hester. He is one of the biggest weapons a team can have in the NFL.

If you don't kick to him, it usually results in great starting field position for the Bears. If you do kick it to him, it usually results in either great field position or a TD.

Absolutely cosign on this. Hester is a beast at what he does. He's the best return man since (at least) Mel Gray, and I think he may even be better...

"Anytime" is the complete package, and his explosive runs are some of the best to watch.

[Conrad]

God, I got rocked this week in my fantasy league...I played against TO, LT, Andre Johnson, and Kurt Warner ._.

Ben had a disappointing game, WESTBROOK had a disappointing (read: no TDs) game against the frigging Dolphins. In fact, the only person on my team who did anything yesterday was Housh, and fortunately, he's been reliable all season.

I drop to 9-2 and second place in my league, but at least I already clinched a playoff spot.

[tyven]

i lost by .09 in BG league, ouch

I wonder how much truth is in this statement. I BET HE DOES!

I have both Brady and T.O. on my team for my LS's league. I'm only 9-2 though ; ;. Both of my losses were against the high scorers of the particular weeks (one of which was 131-132 >.<!).

Was this you?
