AE Official AE15 Launch - Discussion

[Woodson]

So much for under the radar again.

… I think that 'less posting about your progress goes a long way about 'staying under the radar'.. look at Pedge7.. Top 10CR, 3-1 start in ND.. still a 3XKO survivor.. playing it low key because he doesn't need to pipe up.

 

[Woodson]

No matter how you shake it out some people are getting "screwed". Even if we didn't bring anyone in, what about the other people in the conference who never get a chance to "play" Phillyroo? That is a huge "disadvantage" to those folks--especially when it comes to who gets in on wildcards.

I am okay with someone coming in and taking over---I would just look at it like you were playing a team with their qb out for a few weeks. Those that did, got lucky--those that have to face him when he comes back, well that is how it shakes out.

Not always WHO you play...but WHEN you play them.

For whatever it's worth the thought to bring someone in rather than have Phillyroo be a dead stick gets a thumbs up from me.

It's no different to anyone else having an advantage on any given weekend when the anomaly 'No show' occurs. Look at Chism , he isn't 4-0 without effort. PhillyRoo only pushed the margin to 5 because of 'UPSET results'.. Chism picked 7/8 of the home teams with five of those seven on double digit CR. The luck of the draw (sequence of scheduled games) is what determines the road teams CR score. But I'm glad you give a thumbs up after all is said n' done.

Please stop writing about me!! We agree!!

Agreed. You guys are doing best you can. I have no issues with it at all. Just meant no matter what you do or don't do--someone will have a beef.

Part of the joy of your responsibilities.

Surely by now you know I wouldn't sell myself short

 

[BeinPurplenGreen]

FWIW.. that was the case a few years ago (2012 & 2013). Oscarman, as we all know.. is a committed member of AE and having the BAD LUCK, of having a 'NO SHOW' outscore him on TWO OCCASSIONS IIRC (5-6 record in 2013, 7-5 record in 2012) based on the 'road teams/ default list' options we implemented was the REASON WHY the no-show is now (2014 & 2015) denied of victory HOWEVER in saying that.. the person who makes the effort needs to outscore their opponent. That's why if two no-shows go h2h that no victory is awarded under last years change. Phillyroo reminds me of my five year old niece.. she LOVES the whole concept of pizza, the presentation.. the set-up… (like AE) but when it comes down to getting it down, bite by bite.. selection by selection on a weekly basis… she just makes a complete mess of it.. Phillyroo apparently too distracted with everyday life with his new bub / moving house and perhaps his beloved Kangas on the crusp of AFL success, to even think NFL has already started. Oscarman returned this season perhaps on the basis that we made such neccassary amendments to ND… still need to outscore your NO show to earn ND victory… which is fair for all concerned.

Blacky, don't sell yourself so short. You do know Quin Stick started 0-2 in his rookie season of 2013 and still won it all (going all the way undefeated). Chism has finished 7-5 on two occasions and still managed to scrounge his way thru the challenges of making it to the CC. Here's a classic example of dramatic fight backs.. LAST season in particular: manureid started well (2-0) then didn't win another match up until Week 7!! (ironically against GeeCats07) to be in a 2-3-1 hole after six didn't faze Manureid considering that he had already beaten Division leader Twarby (4-2) in the season opener and had another three more Division match ups awaiting in the second half of the season. Manureid won the the Troy Polamalu division with a 7-4-1 record, having the best (4-1) division record. Blacky is already 0-1 atm in the Bambi division BUT this week's match up vs Juggalo Balla is crucial in staying in touch with the front runners.. with Jugs taking Houston 1CR.. it's in your hands now (indy 8CR) to steady the ship and get back to 2-2 meanwhile keeping an eye on the front runners - Starlin Castro vs Gengar match up who are both the one's to beat when your moment arrives later in the season. Schedule shaped for Blacky to make a big run.

Was pretty happy when I was in my 1st feature match up in week 2, got smashed that week. 0-1-1 in features so far, not quite as excited now going into my 3rd.

 

[Exe Gesis]

It's an indictment on AESPN that I have not been featured yet.

 

[Papa Juggs]

Went to change to Bucs at last second, game locked.

Don't let me down Jags.

 

[Papa Juggs]

Tipped Atlanta but going for the Redskins here. Everybody is trying to bank big points on the Falcons so I want them to crash and burn

 

[Bucketss]

So I picked teams during the week but thought I'd move them around later. I didn't really so a lot of points banking on some close games.

Idiot.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

KC, 14 CR points, Survivor life #2 gone. **** me.

Seattle choke on me also, god, what a nightmare.

 

[Exe Gesis]

That battleship is safe in the harbor Juggalo Balla

 

[nobbyiscool]

KC, 14 CR points, Survivor life #2 gone. **** me.

Seattle choke on me also, god, what a nightmare.

I "only" had them for 9... but also lost my second survivor life

At least I had Cinci for low CR.

In terms of "raw picks" I'm 4 for 9 this morning. Brutal!

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Browns win, my 1 CR point on Baltimore = winning.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

I thought Woodson would be wiping the floor with me in ND, especially after i dropped 10CR on Houston Friday, but its surprising close, nice to see other sucking just as much as me this week.

 

[raskolnikov]

The lols of Baltimore losing to the Browns is almost worth 14 CR.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Go Raiders for CR purposes, ill happily take another loss on Denver since nearly everyone else has them on higher CR points than me.

 

[Woodson]

For the record… PhillyRoo's replacement picks were lodged our Thursday evening… JeffDunne was PM'd but yet to follow up.

Had plenty of hope that Jax and Norl would measure up… *facepalm* Those bastards!!

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Its a battle of who sucks less this week, pal.

Its a shame because i had such a great celebration gif ready to go this week, might have to downgrade it if i do manage to escape with a win though.

 

[Dirty Bird]

Woodson - Having read the OP, shouldn't swannies be on 30 not 29?
1 on away team = 1 on Colts I believe?

 

[Exe Gesis]

Phillyroo > Phillyroo's replacement

 

[mcgarnacle]

Along with Juggalo Balla , Geckoman they get the road team (Colts) 1CR. As far as I understand, PhillyRoo's replacement, picked Texans 1CR.. for mcgarnacle .

My luck's gotta change. I've been tipping solidly.......it's just my opponent each week keeps putting in a better game.

 

[Woodson]

Browns win, my 1 CR point on Baltimore = winning.

That was initially a Browns 2CR but I just keep over-thinking… Browns won't score 'that much'… surely… give them a chance.. better be safe than sorry.
