As someone who dealt with embedding the yahoo fantasy stuff in a website four years ago, it is not that much work, they use OAuth which is pretty standard these days. I can't speak for the actual app work on XB1 though.

I dont know if maybe they need something from yahoo to make it work. There is no yahoo fantasy app on WP because yahoo doesnt want there to be one.
I was going to send you a metal song after I read the first line... and then I read the second line
feel better!
Everyone predicting the Niners to miss the playoffs, I love it! I love that we're the underdog again. We'll do just fine until we get Aldon, Bowman and Dorsey back and then we'll heat up at the exact right time. Hoping Seattle catches some bad luck so we still have a shot at the Division, because I don't really want to go through Seattle again. Although after last year, I'm a believer that we can definitely do it. First time we actually played like it mattered in Seattle (since 2011).

Thanks. Some much needed updates. Last year was good but was pretty much pointless with just NFL.com FF. Just need Yahoo and I'm set. Having it work side by side with Sunday Ticket Max via one app means snapping that info will be much more seamless.

We'll know after 4-5 games. I'm not expecting anything from him. That being said I really like how Caldwell challenged him and made him earn a spot. That NEVER happened under Schwartz.
Week 1 Picks
GB @ SEA - Rodgers is the best player in football today, and he starts his MVP campaign off strong
NO @ ATL - Atlanta out to prove they aren't shit this year, NO is it's usual self on the road
CIN @ BAL - too much defense from the Bengals, too much offense from Gio
BUF @ CHI - the Bears are bad, but the Bills are terribad
WAS @ HOU - RGIII not leaving this game on a stretcher would be a win for the 'skins
TEN @ KC - Alex Smith is gonna prove he deserved that contract
NE @ MIA - lol
OAK @ NYJ - two shit teams, go with the one playing at home
JAX @ PHI - I don't think Philly is that good, nor will the Jags be that bad, but this outcome won't be in doubt
CLE @ PIT - Browns are this year's best candidate for 0-16
MIN @ STL - Gonna be hard to recover from losing Bradford and the Vikings will be better
SF @ DAL - 49ers are going to struggle out of the gate with all the suspensions, although this is a pretty weak knee'd pick as I have no faith in the Cowboys
CAR @ TB - the Bucs will be better, but the Panthers are already there
IND @ DEN - coin flip game IMO, going with the home team
NYG @ DET - as a general rule, I never pick the Lions, but the Giants and Eli have to prove me they aren't cellar dwellers
SD @ ARI - cuz Philip Rivers is ma DAWG
As for the Panthers season predictions, I think 10-6 with a wild card berth is pretty realistic. The offensive line is a huge wildcard, and not in a good way, but a mobile quarterback combined with a healthy JStew will mitigate the risk there. Secondary is also a concern, but overall the defense will be as good or better than last year, only a handful of QBs will be able to exploit any perceived weakness on the backend.
The offense will surprise most people who haven't been paying attention. Including the tight ends, I wholeheartedly believe this is the best group Cam has had. Look for 4000+ passing yards out of him this year, with less overall yards on the ground but still 5+ rushing touchdowns. Will make a strong case for MVP himself if Byron Bell doesn't get him killed.

Yeah I agree with this 100%. He was the one dude I worried about the most on D cause he's was so random last year.

I know dude! I'm scared. This QB VT has (graduated from Texas Tech) looked sharp in his first game but now it's time for some real competition.

They already tried to buy yahoo. I dont think yahoo will do any deals with them now.
It's possible I wasn't being totally serious.
You'd think Yahoo! would want their brand embedded in an app like that with Microsoft giving it tons of advertising.
That defense was good, but it wasn't anywhere near as dominant like that 2006 Bears D.
17th in Points Allowed
9th in Yards/Play (5, Bucs/Steelers/Colts were #1 with 4.6)
11th in Passing (lol, who cares)
8th in Rushing (8th in Y/RA)
1st in Sacks
20th in INT
20th in Fumbles Recovered
They really turned it on in the post season. Remember, they limped into the playoffs.
That Superbowl was just a matchup nightmare with the Giants' defensive line.
Indeed. He is a great player, no denying that.
Deal is tough to swallow though. If the team has a better record this year which I am sure they will, it'll be because of the new staff & players they brought in.
Who are most people picking in GB-Seattle?
Seattle was vulnerable against the run last year. I don't think anyone was able to pass on them consistently. But that was last year. Be interesting to see if their pass D is still as good.
Also interesting to see how GB attacks it. One of the worst things about winning the SB is there are a ton of evil defensive and offensive coordinators who spend the whole summer figuring out the weaknesses of the champs. And you usually see one of them pick up something in the first few weeks that everyone else latches on to.
I have no idea who to pick in this game for my office pick em. Leaning towards Seattle because the champ usually wins this game at home.

Peyton doesn't have to do what Kobe does. He isn't in a position where a bit of physical decline is going to kill him. So long as his mind is there and his arm is reasonably strong, he's still gonna be a step above most every other QB. He might not be *quite* as good as last year, but even a small step back still puts him in top 5 QB territory no question.
As for Pats, there is really no reason they couldn't win 12 or 13 games this year.
Just a bunch of wishful thinking on your part, man.
Capers spent the entire off season whittling a new toupee.
It's hard not to pick Seattle at home, plus that will be as juiced a crowd as you can imagine.
Legacy. It's been around for 14 or so years, where as NFL came later to the game. People are loath to move their leagues over to new platforms.
But, you're right, the drafting flash bullshit has been janky as shit this year. Had a lot of disconnecting issues for multiple people.

Why is that, exactly?
They have no QB eating up 20 million in cap space right now and if they were to draft a QB in the next year or two and he works out for them, it's going to be minimum of 3-4 years before they have to to extend him anyways. There's absolutely nothing cap prohibitive about deal at the moment and if indeed the cap continues to go up in the coming years, its even less of an issue.
Week 1 Picks
GB @ SEA - Seattle is at home. Hope I'm wrong! Do us a favor Wisconsin.
NO @ ATL - Saints are beastly, but the Falcons could have their mojo back. Hard to tell when its week 1. Could be a good game.
CIN @ BAL - Expect a close game, but its in Baltimore and they've got a better offense this year.
BUF @ CHI - EJ Manuel just might be the worst starting QB in the league. That or whoever Houston is starting.
WAS @ HOU - Both teams are bad, Houston's defense is going to win this.
TEN @ KC - I have no idea what to expect from Tennessee, but I expect KC to play well at home, so I'm going with them.
NE @ MIA - I'd love nothing more than to see a Patriots loss, but I can't pick against them with a healthy Gronk.
OAK @ NYJ - Derek Carr is likely a far better choice than Schaub, but I still expect them to lose on the road with a rookie against a Rex Ryan defense.
JAX @ PHI - I expect Jacksonville to be pretty competitive with the additions they made this offseason, but ultimately Philly is the better team.
CLE @ PIT - I'd love to be wrong, I always kinda root for Cleveland because they've been awful forever and none of their fans (on here) are obnoxious.
MIN @ STL - Without Bradford, I expect the offense to sputter. Minney has looked pretty good this preseason, I expect good things from them.
SF @ DAL - Both teams have defensive players on suspension. I expect this to be a high scoring game with SF winning by just a little, 35-28 or so.
CAR @ TB - Cam's banged up, has no previous chemistry with any receiver on the team. I expect it to be a low scoring game with TB narrowly winning.
IND @ DEN - Denver's got something to prove after being just utterly embarrassed in the Super Bowl. With that said, I could see Indy pulling an upset, they know how to play good teams (won in Seattle and in SF last year, did they beat Denver too?)
NYG @ DET - The Giants offense has looked just woeful. I'll go with Detroit, but I'm not super confident in the pick.
SD @ ARI - Rivers magic! I also expect the Darnell Dockett injury and the Darryl Washington suspension to weaken the Cardinals stout defense a little bit.
GB @ SEA - Seattle is at home. Hope I'm wrong! Do us a favor Wisconsin.
NO @ ATL - Saints are beastly, but the Falcons could have their mojo back. Hard to tell when its week 1. Could be a good game.

Yeah the 2007 defense had some problems (secondary, OLB's), but the DL with Strahan, Osi, Robbins, etc. were excellent.
The 2011 defense was shit-tier for 90% of the season and hadn't Romo overthrown Miles Austin they might not have even made it in. They turned it on late with the wins over the Jets and Cowboys (2x). Were still at least competitive against the top NFC teams that year (Niners, Packers). That whole season was Eli, the WR's, and JPP.

I selected the bucs to win during pickems. Please Lovie, throw me a bone here.
So is Russell.
Pickems or survival? I took the Bears in survival because I don't believe the bills offense scores anything. Unless Orton starts, then I'll admit I could be fucked.
Gotta give the money to someone, with the current cap at 133 and the Bucs rule of making teams spend 85% to reach the floor and cap increase to perhaps as high as 160. Why wouldnt you give a top defensive player like Watt this type of contract.

Depends on how much the refs actually enforce the newly emphasized rules. But pick the home team dood.
Rodgers will be eaten alive with this O Line and a new center. McCarthy has said that the gameplan against Seattle is expansive. What I hope he actually means is he'll just run it with Lacy all day and pray Rodgers survives the game and doesn't get sacked more than 3 times.

for survival I went with the eagles cause I dont want to be counted out too soon
Figured this was pretty much the reason. With all the FF options, I suppose most people just stick with what they have been using for ages, especially with keeper leagues and whatnot too.
Wish those NFL Apps and whatnot would come to Maddenstation 4. Oh well.

GB wins this week and the Super Bowl. 10-5-1. Wild Card.

Seattle because they are home. I'm actually leaning toward GB to rep the NFC in the SB though if they get a slightly above average D this millennium.

Is there a Confidence Pick Em this year?
Bills roster is talented but you go as the QB goes, as they say. And while I'm not as down as LJ on Manuel, I still don't think he has what it takes to bring this roster to the playoffs.
who?
who?

Especially with universal apps now that are on both phones and tablets. It definitely seems like yahoo is cutting off their nose to spite their face a bit. Hopefully they will come out with a WP app at some point and also get in on the XB1 app.
Written by agents, for agents (and gullible sots.)
the Packers are guaranteed the Lombardi Trophy when they win the Super Bowl!
