2004 NFL Loser's Challenge, week 2

FrogMan · 09-14-2004, 08:01 PM

Week 1 is over, week 2 is coming. 59 played in week 1, I hope to see as many in week 2.

You can see the standings after week 1 here.

Rules are fairly simple: Try to find the team, one that you have never picked since the beginning of the season, that will lose its game with the worst deficit. If the team you pick loses, you will earn their margin of defeat as points in your season total. However, if the team you picked wins, their margin of victory will be deducted from your season total. Remember though: never pick the same team twice in the season. This shouldn't be a problem for this first week, but maybe your pick will be guided by matchups of upcoming weeks...

Deadline is kickoff of the team you select. This means you can still pick a team up until Monday, unless you've already used both teams. This also means that you don't have to have entered a pick before Thursday night's game.

If for a reason or another, you want to change your pick, simply post another team, as long as you're still before its deadline, I'll replace your first pick by your new one. Do not edit your pick once it's posted. Reason for this is simple: once I have registered your pick, I won't go back to see who has edited their posts. Please write a little note on the post for your new pick that this is in fact a second pick.

To help you out, here's the schedule for week 2, all times being Eastern US time...

This is a tough week to pick. Can I just say the Giants again?

But they're playing the Carson Palmer-led Cincinnati Bengals. Maybe I'm just trying to end up last for a change...

Cincy actually played well last week. If they can get their act together on the defensive side of the ball, they should rebound and beat Miami...

For the record, this is your second pick for the week, it replaces your Buffalo pick made earlier.

??? I still want Buffalo. I was just stating that if Chicago wins, a whole mess of people will be eliminated, so I will be rooting for them to win.

okay, gotcha, I thought you had changed your pick. Good thing I made sure

Buffalo it is then.

A good week to go with:

Coffee Warlord · 09-15-2004, 10:01 AM

Know what. I'm changing my pick to Tampa Bay.

I just can't live with picking Da Bears to lose to the Pack, even when it's 90% likely.

You're confusing this with the high/low. No one can get eliminated in this one, only a mess of negative points for making a bad pick.

Yeah, JAG is right, nobody can be eliminated, but he still can root for bunch of people to have negative points though
