Broncos Forums Survival league.

[Thnikkaman]

This is a fun little game of who can pick a winner for the most consecutive weeks. The game goes like this:

1. Sign up at http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/survival/
2. Join the league:
name: broncosforums
id: 22468
pass: cutlerftw

3. Each week, pick a team that you guarantee will win.
4. Don't loose.

Simple as that.
Two catches however:
Once you have picked a team, you can't pick that team again for the rest of the season.
If you loose, you are done.

I have set it up to start week 2, so you have until the first week 2 game to sign up, and good luck.

[dogfish]

cool, i'm in. . . .


:beer:



why won't they let us pick this week? bastages. . . .

[Devilspawn]

I's in. Like Perropescado said, I can't pick Week 1.

[Thnikkaman]

cool, i'm in. . . .


:beer:



why won't they let us pick this week? bastages. . . .

I did that in the interest of getting as many people to join that are interested. I can see if I can change it to start week 1.

I changed it to start week 1. If there isn't many people, I may switch it back to start week 2.

[dogfish]

ahh, i didn't think about that. . . if you need to switch it back, no worries-- whateva works. . . .

thanks for setting it up, i've never played one of these before. . . .

[MOtorboat]

Good times.

[NightTrainLayne]

Sounds great! I'll try to remember to get signed up tonight.

[honz]

I'm in. Sounds like fun.

[dogfish]

Sounds great! I'll try to remember to get signed up tonight.

Just signed up. This is going to be pretty tough. Good luck all.

[Bronco9798]

I'll give it a try!

[BroncoBJ]

Good stuff :salute:
I'm in so many leagues now I'm confused.
At least most of my leagues are on Yahoo. :salute:

Should be fun.

Me too man, me too. My 2 favorite leagues are on Yahoo so it makes it easy, but I also have one on ESPN and one on sportsline that I have to keep tabs on.

Done.

[Thnikkaman]

Ok, we have more than 10 people in the league, so I am leaving it to start week 1. If people stumble upon this after tomorrow's game, then we can set up a second league.

May you all witness the prowess of the Teen Girl Squad!!! HA HA HA

[dogfish]

so who's going to get embarrased and lose the first week?


:D



i almost picked new england over kansas city just to avoid the humiliation. . . :shocked:

[Skinny]

Probably me! :D

I tried, or i thought i tried to pick a close one. Ended up picking NYJets over Miami. Watch Med be right... :tsk:

[Thnikkaman]

The league I was in last year, I was out on the first week since I made a dumb choice. Watch the Rams get lucky against the Eagles.

[NightTrainLayne]

Shit! That's what I picked too. :rolleyes:

[MOtorboat]

OK...don't forget to get your picks in today...

I'm going way out on a limb this week!

[Thnikkaman]

OK...don't forget to get your picks in today...

Picking the Bears over Indy?

[MOtorboat]

Picking the Bears over Indy?

OK...we've been over this. I'm a midget, that doesn't make me stupid.

Nope...Lions over Atlanta...I figure I would never pick Detroit again this season, and if they get me through Week 1...I've got all the power houses left to choose.

[BroncoBJ]

I was going to pick Atlanta over Detroit for survivor :eek:
:lol:
But that was still too risky for me. The 1st week or 2 always seems the hardest to me I think. I wanted to pick the Chargers just so I never pick them again but I still want the Panthers to win so I dont want to pick San Diego just for that sake.
I'm still a little scared with my pick though. :fight:

[studbucket]

I use a 'greedy algorithm' and always pick the closest thing to a surefire lock every week.

[frauschieze]

So you cheat, in other words. :heh:

[MOtorboat]

So you cheat, in other words. :heh:

Nope...but I bet he uses Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, Dallas and New England in the first four weeks and is hosed after that...

[Buff]

Just slipped in ahead of the deadline. I'll be shocked if I make it past week 4.

[frauschieze]

I did pick New England for that exact reason. :hi:

[MOtorboat]

The more I think about it, I'm worried about making it past week 1...:noidea:

[studbucket]

Nope...but I bet he uses Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, Dallas and New England in the first four weeks and is hosed after that...

I wouldn't count making it to week 9 or 10 every year hosed.

We'll see who's still standing halfway through the season.

[Reidman]

I just saw this...too late to get in...?

[Thnikkaman]

I just saw this...too late to get in...?

unfortunately, yes.

If we get enough people interested, we can do another league

Edit: Apparently you can still join up. So if you want in, get in before Sunday.

[MOtorboat]

I'm an idiot.

we know. . . so i won't bother putting this quote in my sig. . . .


:D

[BroncoJoe]

I'm an idiot.

:tsk:

Well, they did just score... 21-7. Not an insurmountable deficit.

[honz]

Looks like the Jets should hold off the Dolphins...I was a little worried there for a while.

Did I speak too soon?:shocked:

[frauschieze]

I made it to week 2. :woot:

[studbucket]

Well, I made it to week 2 (barely), and using the Patriots week 1 doesn't seem like a 'waste' anymore since they may not be too great in the following weeks depending on Brady's knee.

[honz]

Phew, I made it to week 2. I thought the Dolphins were going to take me down for a sec, but Pennington proved yet again that he is the suckbar.

[Buff]

Annnnd. I'm out. :D

[frauschieze]

Annnnd. I'm out. :D

Who'd you pick?

[Bronco9798]

I survived Week #1

[dogfish]

man, it sure is nice being able to relax and not sweat your pick past the first quarter. . . .


:D

[dogfish]

well, one week into this and 23% of the starting players are eliminated. . .

three down, nine more of ya to go. . . . :elefant:

[Thnikkaman]

I wish I would have seen this thread before the season! Sounds like a fun way to do picks.

[studbucket]

I'm sure everyone will be out by week 9 or so (that usually happens), then we can start a new one for the 2nd half of the season :D

[NightTrainLayne]

lol, I drug my feet and never tried signing up until today, because I didn't think it was starting until next week. Well, always next year.

[Skinny]

If your pick this week was between Hou/Balt, should we repick?? Just curious if it will roll over our how this is going to work.

Anybody know??

[frauschieze]

I'd guess you'd need to repick. It doesn't show up as an option to choose anymore.

[Skinny]

I'd guess you'd need to repick. It doesn't show up as an option to choose anymore.Yeah that's kinda what i'm thinking (repick).

I picked Houston earlier in the week and went to check and it still has me down for it. :noidea:

[Skinny]

And then there were 6...


Congrats winners!

[honz]

Thank you Arizona, I knew you wouldn't fail me. I've already got this thing wrapped up.:cool:

[dogfish]

sheesh, you guys are making this too easy. . . .

[frauschieze]

sheesh, you guys are making this too easy. . . .

I'm not going down without a fight. :hi:

[NightTrainLayne]

I am shocked that San Fran took down Seattle in Seattle.

Hopefully, someone wraps this up quickly and we can go again.

Um...yes...:tsk:

Nice. Unfortunately, in my other league, I picked Carolina. Its funny that that league got decided this week.

[honz]

******* Patriots...

[frauschieze]

Another week, another way too small of a victory margin. But at the end of the day....all that matters is the victory. :salute:

[Thnikkaman]

So, should we start the second iteration of the league, or wait until the first one has a winner?

[studbucket]

So, should we start the second iteration of the league, or wait until the first one has a winner?

We'll all lose soon enough, let's wait to start iteration 2 (IMO).

[frauschieze]

Whoa. I didn't realize I made it to the final 4. Woot!

[NightTrainLayne]

So, should we start the second iteration of the league, or wait until the first one has a winner?

Well, I don't have anything better to do, but it's whatever everyone else wants to do.

[Skinny]

I'll be waiting for my revenge. :coffee:

No, but if you count the ACM pick 'em, you can lose in three! ;)

[dogfish]

aaaand it's over. . . . :whoo:


:first:


good matchup, stud. . .

i actually picked washington. . . i must have looked at it three or four times, and each time i just had a bad feeling about it, but convinced myself not to change it. . . i finally decided that i should just trust my instincts and go with new orleans. . . whew!



:werd: :woot:





Sweet. Go dog. Stud cheats.


No offense Stud. :D

:beer:

[MOtorboat]

Um, yeah, I went out of town this weekend, and when I checked all my fantasy stuff yesterday, I totally forgot. :tsk:

[dogfish]

well, i'm out. . . and my team from the first round finally lost this week also-- thirteen weeks was a pretty good run, though. . . .

[frauschieze]

So you can humiliate us again? I'm game. :D

[Thnikkaman]

hey thnikk, we doing this again this year?

Yep. Also, if you don't have someone to commish in your fantasy league, I would be happy to.
