Isn't NO's salary cap situation always a complete disaster? They led the league in dead money for years iirc

It's unclear but several networks are interested in him

Sean payton is apparently retiring

I have received an anonymous suggestion from @th3l3fty that things do not feel right without just posting the list, so I will do that from now on!

The game should not end because the team with the ball first scores a TD. Golden goal rules are not suitable for football.

Sauce
Cheese
Toppings
Crust
Reheat

Okay here we go!
Bartz went 2-2 to lead the week, you're in!
4 people went 1-3: Terp, forty, camden, and kitchensink, so all the rest who went 0-4, you're out!

The first tiebreaker was # of passing TDs in BUF/KC, and the total was 7. Terp hit 7 exactly, so you're in! Forty and Camden went 6 & 8, while sink went low at 4, so with forty and camden being 1 off, sink is out!

Which means you're final four are:
fortybelowsummer
terpaholic
Bartz
Camden

Congrats folks!

I will get stuff together tomorrow, I haven't even looked at the picks

in

Pachirisu.

Edit: I'm so glad someone already posted the comic strip I always think of, bless you.

Re: alternate snowfields

I also had no idea there was one and I had to look it up. I never quite grasped the concept of unlocking stuff just by taking pictures, it always was orbs/fruit/scan/music, so I'm glad I looked it up cause who knows how long it would've taken me to happen upon the method by chance. I generally am not good about taking photos of pokemon if I already know I have a good enough one.

Crescent-Moon posted...

I'd honestly argue the opposite. The Chiefs have lost to every remaining team in the AFC playoffs. Buffalo and Tennessee rocked them and they no showed the entire second half against Cincinnati.

If the Bills avoid a bad game, they win.

Disagree, those chiefs might as well have been an entirely different team early on. After that titans shellacking they only lost by 3 to the bengals after that. Chiefs at their best > Bills at their best imo.

4 was the highest TB anyone picked, foxhead and suprak also had it

I will look later crescent.

RESULTS:
Bartz: 6-0
Crescent: 5-1
thekitchensink: 5-1
terpaholic: 5-1
HBJDubs: 5-1
Reg: 5-1
foxhead84: 4-2
Suprak: 4-2
Xuxon: 3-3 (but really 4-2, changed a game to try and gain ground)
So bartz is onward, now for tiebreakers!

Pass TDs in NE/BUF - 7 total
Crescent had the highest of the 5-1 guesses at 4, so onward!
Reg had the lowest, so out!
kitchensink, terp, and dubs all had 3, so TB 2!

FGs on Sunday - 5
Dubs was a madman and went 18, by far the highest. Out!
Which means that thekitchensink and terpaholic advance!

Your final 8:
fortybelowsummer
tgs2
Camden
Leonhartfour
Bartz
Crescent
thekitchensink
terpaholic

Congrats!

wtf dak what a terrible take

@foxhead84 @HBJDubs @Crescent-Moon @terpaholic @Reg @Bartzyx @Suprak_the_Stud @Xuxon @thekitchensink

Welcome contestants to the postseason! You may already know the drill but just in case, let's go over it. You will pick the games as in the regular season, but this time I'll need everyone to pick tiebreakers, as the TOP 4 will advance to the divisional rd, and fewer games = higher chance of ties. Since I am not participating this year, you may PM your picks to me rather than post them in the topic. You can post them here if you want but, competitive edge and all that. Also, you are allowed to change picks as in the reg season before the kickoff time, but if possible I would prefer a single PM with all your picks, just to cut down on clutter. But do what you gotta do. Heeeere we go!

Tiebreaker 3: How many passing yards will there be in ARZ/LAR?

So as you can see, we have 13 users in the playoffs this year! And to answer Xuxon's query, yes I do believe that if you had stayed on your pick, three other users would be in as well, lol!

As for the top 4 with a bye, you can see there is a tie so!

Pass yards in CIN/CLE: 274
Leon says: 300
Foxhead says: 200

So Leon gets the final bye! Good job to everyone who made the playoffs, new topic will go up shortly. To everyone else who participated, thanks a bunch as always, and I will be kicking around some new ideas just to check in on what people think can be done better, so hopefully we'll see you next year!

Lemme in there!

ignore a previous post that was here if you saw it. I thought it was just the games in brackets that was wrong (I had to add in a new column in the sheet for week 18, which threw all the existing formulas off, but I thought I fixed it) but evidently it failed to factor in those games at all. I am working on the issue and apologize for the false start

Has firing a coach for not playing nice with the FO instead of basing it on merit ever worked out for a team?

Crescent-Moon posted...

If there's 3 minutes left in OT and the game is tied they're absolutely playing for that tie.

They just can't admit it.

There is a difference between that though, and play for the tie from the very beginning

Robin

From what I heard he originally declined to interview to focus on the jets (IE implying he wouldn't until after playoffs) then suddenly decided he would interview now, so I think he might.

Heck yeah go robin

So like, what arians is saying there would be totally in character for AB, so I totally believe that

But he also didn't address anything about why he said he didn't know ab was injured when the texts say otherwise

Yeah the crux of it is what was said when AB supposedly met with Arians that morning as dictated in the texts. It's possible arians meant, when asked if AB was injured, that he wasn't too injured to play IE misspeak. It's possible arians straight up lied. But unless we know whether or not AB went "Yes I will play if you need me to play" during that meeting, or if that meeting even happened, then all we can really do is assume. But arians did straight up say that he didn't know ab was injured when the texts say otherwise, so regardless of if tht's what he meant, it's what he said. Both people can be wrong here, arians for possibly lying and ab for quitting in a ridiculous, selfish fashion.

Maybe they should consider why people like nadal and fed better than him

Spoilers: It's not because he's serbian

I don't know if serbia just perpetually has a chip on its shoulder but Australia does not strike me as a country that would go antagonizing other nations

He is being held until Monday to decide if he's going to be deported or not. Serbia meanwhile is all up in arms claiming it's an attack against all of serbia lol.

It sounds like the state and the country had different views (due to being on different political spectrums) about what would be a valid exemption, the most likely point is whether or not a prior infection in the past 6 months counts. So the state told djokovic that it was a valid exemption "According to them" and the country told the state to butt out. But ultimately the exemption did not meet national standards.

Here we go! Final week! First off, last week we had 3 people with 14 wins: fortybelowsummer, Wigs, and stevr! Good job! As for biggest upset, only 3 people picked LV over IND. I was almost one of them but chickened out because people kept telling me indy was good. Good job ulti, shattered, and arti.

Now, for this final week as in years past, I will pose a couple of tiebreaker questions. As a reminder, the top 12 plus ties make the playoffs, but there must be a TB for the top 4 to get a bye. So don't forget to answer that if you're in contention!

Tiebreakers:
How many pass yards will there be in Bengals/Browns?
How many rush yards will there be in Titans/Texans?

Can you not cut him though for conduct detrimental to the team? Which that certainly has to be.

I'm willing to believe his ankle was hurt. But he is being so sensational about it that it's hard not to think he's being biased and trying to put his spin on the more unsavory aspects of it.

Like it makes sense to go "hey teams only care about the team so they would medically clear him even if he wasn't acutally ready" but it also makes sense to go "AB's prior behavior makes it seem like his ankle 'kind of' hurt and he threw a tantrum."

I will get this up either tonight or tomorrow, since there aren't games till saturday.

I feel like the first two illumina levels had more extra pokemon in them compared to the rest. The 2nd one in particular was my favorite illumina level.

Baker was playing hurt most of the season and the stats without OBJ on the field have shown him to be a really good quarterback. I don't think you cut bait with him at least for next season.

Was gruden or meyer the bigger oops

They've had what, 3 rookies make stupid decisions over the past 2 months? That to me is a flag

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/3/4/9/AAb9RHAACxVN.jpg

I don't understand why the browns have thrown 15 times and chubb, one of the best backs in the game, has run 4 times.

Yeah I saw a date of April 8th on AW.
