The Jaguars are a horrible mess but at least I can take solace in the fact that for a second year running, we're not the worst team in Florida.

Fantasy-wise, I continue to roll out them wins (about as well as my actual team does not roll out them wins). Next week I get to play Vic's team, half of which is on a bye. I'm short a starter or two as well but I'm feeling confident.

Atlanta-Washington does seem to be the obvious choice for Fox; CBS is likely going to have St. Louis/Green Bay because it's going to be the default "everyone wants to watch it" game. Coverage maps come out tomorrow, so we'll know then.

Wow, only a sentence about your team? Spoken like a man who doesn't agonize over every aspect of his team. Pft, amateur.

I'll be fine in fantasy this week because I've got "TOUCHDOWN" TOM BRADY back!!!!!!

If my team had been anywhere approaching decent for the last 5 years I might have some semblance of agony regarding their current and/or future failures. As it happens, we're in yet another low-output, everyone's-injured season, and it's hard to give a fuck :V

Kilgamayan · « **Reply #302 on:** October 06, 2015, 06:25:49 PM »

St. Louis/Green Bay will be on FOX because it's an all-NFC matchup.

EDIT: Well, whaddaya know, CBS got it anyway. I guess the NFL took pity on the network because the only games they qualified for normally were BUF/TEN, CLE/BAL, and JAX/TAM, all of which will be hilariously bad. At least FOX will have SEA/CIN going nationally.

Kilga where did you find the map?

Edible · « **Reply #304 on:** October 06, 2015, 06:37:09 PM »

Coverage map isn't up, but you can still see which stations get which games.

Also going out in a blaze of #YOLO Jaguars

Complaints about fantasy QBs will continue to be ignored for as long as I have to start Vick.

Kilgamayan · « **Reply #307 on:** October 06, 2015, 11:15:22 PM »

Y'all should've drafted TyGod Taylor when y'all had the chance.

Zirene · « **Reply #308 on:** October 07, 2015, 08:17:05 PM »

Well I'm 3-1 so far. I won't have to run off the 5-6 straight wins like last year to make the playoffs hopefully. Also the damn Razorbacks finally won, beat Tennessee.

I'd be happy if Dallas wins 1 of the next 3 games, likely the NY game.

QB bye week! Has anyone really been far even as decided to use Cutler to want to score more like?

My thinking is he just had a pretty good game and they're playing KC who have terrible pass defense. I don't know Cutler could be could be ~~feast~~ snack or famine. I'd be very happy with 20 points.

Oh by the way, team name Casual Touhou Fan, update your roster you have bye players starting. We're playing this week.

I thought about looking up the pre-game betting lines on all of our choices, but then i remembered that i'm lazy and that i don't like arguing with people i've never met on the internet. so whatever.

and then i changed my mind, because i might as well be fair about this and check. plus, i'm curious now. i'll edit once i check everyones cumulative line.

EDIT:
alrighty! lets look at the closing lines from our picks

px +6.5, -3.5, -2.5 CUMULATIVE: +.5
kagiyamahina -2, PK, -3.5 CUMULATIVE: -5.5
kilga -2.5, -14, +3 CUMULATIVE: -13.5

source: http://www.footballlocks.com/nfl_lines_week_2.shtml (you can scroll down to get links to the other weeks)

so, px has made the riskiest picks overall from our small sample size, and kilga has the least, although thats skewed by how massively favored the patriots were that week. other than that one outlier, we've generally picked pretty evenly matched games. px has chosen the biggest underdog, i've chosen narrow favorites (except for one evenly matched game), and kilga doesn't really have a trend, having chosen differently in each of his 3 games.

all in all pretty inconclusive, really. after only 3 games each, theres not much to point at.

Let's make this interesting. Picking Tampa Bay this week.

kagiyamahina: I was being largely facetious anyway, hence the choice of that particular emote.

Stop picking against the jaguars you jerk :getdown:

This means that ONLY ONE WILL SURVIVE, though!

Kilgamayan · « **Reply #313 on:** October 08, 2015, 03:42:21 AM »

This isn't so much picking against the JAguars as it is picking against PX just to see someone get tossed. I will admit there aren't many other scenarios in which I would ever consider picking Crab Legs, though.

if the bucs and jags tie, do you both lose?

If all three of y'all lose we will either put everyone back in or we just stop doing this crap, up to you.

Drive-time radio show had 3 listener teams, 2 of which are now out. I might be about to win some prizes but the idiot who called in this week took the Eagles. Fucking homers.

Rin Kagamine · « **Reply #321 on:** October 10, 2015, 02:23:51 AM »

This is the worst officiating I have ever seen; it's so bad that impartial parties have started publicly agreeing. Turn on ESPN now of you wanna see a screwjob.

Not that it matters because NC State's defense is making VT's third (fourth?) string QB look like a fucking Heisman favorite. Jeeeeeeeeeezus

Edible · « **Reply #322 on:** October 10, 2015, 03:09:15 AM »

Only one of my starting WRs this week was drafted. :ohdear:

We might win one more game all season and it's the Syracuse game. Doeren is 3-15 so far in ACC games and Matt Canada's offense is failing to produce any reliable numbers in running or passing when facing non-FCS competition. The defense is mind blowing in that they gave up 325+ yards to VT, who couldn't get more than 100 total yards against Pitt. Doeren has had Brissett as his QB in his system for 3 years now and sometimes he just looks completely lost. It's an utter disaster mess.

we'll see what the record is at the end of the season. i don't think we'll do brilliantly, but only win one more game?

I actually don't want to drop any more of my injured/bye players that I am fine with starting a blank and praying for PX's team to fall off the face of the Earth.

Kilgamayan · « **Reply #328 on:** October 11, 2015, 03:22:31 PM »

It is never an unreasonable choice to bank on the Falcons, Cardinals, and Eagles all shitting the bed.

On one hand, Doug Martin is putting up a lot of points

On the other, he is doing it against the Jaguars ;_;
