The Chomsky masterpiece, Profit Over People

And doesn’t Roger want to add another game to the season? At this point just legalize PEDs and make it a 20 game season! Are you ready to RUMBLE?!?!

Cousins has played solid. He didn't turn it over. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I jinxed him. 5 minutes after my post he was stripped sacked. 😄

That was the 9th turnover by the Vikings this season.

Are you boys getting this? Pick against the Purple team. I like the Vikes, but this game shows that things are not good in Minnesota.

The Eagles kicker nails a 61 yarder as the first half ends.

13-7 the Greens over the Purples. 

 

The line is Eagles - 7 1/2      48 1/2 

This is going to get interesting. 

 

 

It’s getting less interesting quickly. That might be the easiest TD pass you’ll see all season.

I think of him similar to Jimmy G. He might get you close, but you’re not winning it all with him. 

And like chi has eluded to, yeah, but there are ~15 other QBs that won’t take you all the way, or get you close! 

So you end up having to keep/pay these guys.

It’s unbelievable.  It’s like the players aren’t human.  And athletically, when rested they almost aren’t, but just looking at the injury lists week 12 and it’s pretty clear they are.

That’s true. Only a few elites. If you have to, you take serviceable, and try to build great around it. Thinking Flaaco (sp?) in Baltimore.

Cousins connects for 6 from 63 yards. 

There is some sign of life in the Vikes.

27-14

I think this one is going Over.

 

 

[TiScape]

Geno Smith is a good example. 32 yo, on his 4th team, hasn’t won anything in the NFL and look at his signing bonus. 🤪

Just nuts isn’t it?  He’s had one ok season.

This one is getting interesting.

 

27- 21 Home team

6 minutes left in the game.

Eagles have the ball at almost midfield. 

 

Philly - 7 1/2

total    48 1/2

Man what a poor start it has been for me picks wise this season.

I am 1-3 so far. It won't be long now until I'm calling downstairs home.  😕

OK, well here goes.

MIN/Eagles---  I got the boys from Philly winning, but I don't think it'll by more than a touchdown.  I see a 35-28, but I also see that I suck at this, so I am taking the UNDER

I think Carolina is the OVER.

PGH/CLE UNDER

I am quoting myself bc I suck at just sucking.  I missed the final score by 1 and then followed up with the, logic to make the wrong pick.  Oy vey.

Tonight's game is being broadcast on Prime Video and that is not a major television network.

 

These guys are rolling in their graves. 🤪

 

 

 

Remember when Fox stole the NFC from CBS? John and Pat went from saying “game will be followed by 60 Minutes” to promoting Homer Simpson.

You and me both, LP. Once the Vikes pulled within 6, I thought - oh no! Then Philly scored and I thought the cover was safe. Of course, the Vikes march right down the field and score with a minute remaining. 
 

If I had picked Minn, I guarantee you Philly would have covered….

I hear ya.

You and I have been unfortunate with the Commanders and now the Eagles in the first two weeks.

Here's hoping we turn it around.

I was thinking that maybe I should make the PTTP segment optional. 

Maybe that will be too much for the entire group to do each week.

 

Thoughts amigos?

I’m not in the contest, but I say drop it. Seems like plenty to do to meet deadlines and such w/o it 🤷🏼‍♂️

I think you have to make it mandatory or drop it altogether. Optional doesn't work.

 

Since you're accumulating "points", presumably most points at the end wins, yes ?

 

Your PTTP schedule afaics is

 

Hit one out of three  Zero Points

Hit two out of three  10 Points

Hit all three out of three 20 points

 

Firstly, I don't see where you say anything about 0-3. 0 points ?

 

Also, making PTTP optional forces everybody to play PTTP anyway since there's no downside, only upside.

 

i.e. I can't LOSE any points with PTTP, I can ONLY gain points. Why wouldn't I play it ?

 

Or did I miss where PTTP is a separate tourney ?

Thanks for your input TS.  No I won't drop it entirely, but I want to see if those in the group who like the idea would rather have it as a separate contest.

Yes 0-3 or 1-3 = No points 

[touch]

So far these are the answers I have received by participants in the contest.

 

nsx -  mandatory or drop it entirely

 

 

 

I'm waiting on others.
