Those that are behind shouldn't fret yet. There's still PLENTY of time to get back in this.

That sure is correct. Its not that hard to close the gap, especially with this much season to go.

I would only count out someone at this point if they were 1,243,748,123,890 points behind.

Now thats insurmountable.

Kansas City 27, Arizona 24
San Diego 20, Pittsburgh 16
San Frnacisco 28, Oakland 17
Philadelphia 24, Dallas14

[gottimd]

Me have feeling Indy game kill many.:D

[gottimd]

Indy 35, Tenn 16 = 21+3=24
Chicago 24, Buffalo 13 = 16+6= 22
Pats 23, Fins 14= 3+4= 7


53 Points, I actually thought I did a lot worse than that so far.

[Lorena]

Me have feeling Indy game kill many.:D

Thank goodness they won, I got 16 points off of that game.

[Warhammer]

45 points so far for me. If only I had gone with my original picks, Miami with 10 and TN with 13... Damn....

[JeeberD]

38 after two, and my KC-AZ score ain't looking so good right now...

[Coffee Warlord]

I might actually have a decent week. 10 points through 2.

[gottimd]

Definitely the kiss of death......

Sort of like telling the gambling gods, "This is a lock, there is no way I can lose!";)

Look at my first 4 weeks. Don't have much to lose. :)

[gottimd]

Its still early as ape poopy.

[tucker rocky]

After figuring, looks like I'm +61, after 3 games.

Indy decided to lay an egg, and Buffalo's 2nd ranked defense took the day off.

I was counting on Chi/Buf to be a defensive affair, oh well, that's why they play the game.

[Vince]

New England 24
Miami 9

Indianapolis 31

Cleveland 13

San Diego 21

Not bad. 5, 21, -2 and 9 points, for a grand total of 33. I'll take it :)

[Butter]

14+2+12+7=35 for me this week.

[gottimd]

+60 points for me this week. Sounds like I shall be taking a tumble from the #1 spot :mad:

[duckman]

I don't even want to know. That is how badly I know I did. :(

[gottimd]

I don't even want to know. That is how badly I know I did. :(
You are +57 going into tonights game, just in case you wanted to know.:D

[Warhammer]

41 points for me since I had -4 for last night's game.

[ntndeacon]

77 for me. well that is an improvement.

[Vince]

41 points for me since I had -4 for last night's game.

-2. San Diego (24, actual score 23) = +1, Pittsburgh (13, actual score 13) = -3. 1-3 = -2.

[Warhammer]

I thought the bonuses were -5 for one team right and -10 for both... I'll need to re-read the instructions...

[Butter]

-3 for one, -10 for both.

[Warhammer]

Yeah, I think I have another +2 for the week then. Was last year's scoring -5/-10?

[Vince]

I was trying for like 15 minutes to figure out how you could have possibly gotten -4, then realized that you must have been using a different metric. My consternation was rather humorous in retrospect, considering how utterly unimportant this contest is.

[Warhammer]

Unimportant? UNIMPORTANT? I'm defending my crown here! :D

[Vince]

I'd make a joke about the state of your IHOF team making this contest more important, but last time I checked you're better than me over there. :)

[larrymcg421]

Woops, forgot about this. Oh well, here are my late game picks:

Kansas City 27, Arizona 24
San Diego 20, Pittsburgh 16
San Frnacisco 28, Oakland 17
Philadelphia 24, Dallas14

Despite a limited slate of games to pick from, I had my best week yet. 46 points.

[Warhammer]

If we're talking FOF, I still have my Hartford Grizzlies from the Imperial FL. If only we would stop playing first place teams we'd have a better record over there. Still, we've got a top 10 D, and a top 10 O over there with a backup QB no less.

Telluride still has at least one more year of rebuilding before they contend. I was hoping I'd be able to win some games with offense this year, but I didn't expect the defense to completely fall apart.

I know the feeling. I expected us to be epically bad this year, but we've shown some nice flashes. The problem is that even after a very solid draft, I have a lot of holes. I think it could be a long two or three years.
