For the new page.

Thanks for the power rankings Rors. Enjoyable as always.

Like I said earlier (it was probably ignored!) I messed up and deleted the info, so from 7 on it gets skimpy. Sorry, I'll have proper ones next time.

[1]

Bills (4-0) W4 – I guess I can't really take you down a notch for having a bye... or can I? Well, I could, but I'm lazy and you were already at the top, so there you shall stay. The Bills had a powderpuff game and a bye, but have the upcoming match of the week. Buffalo will face their, also undefeated, division rival, the Patriots. Trent Edwards is still the highest rated starting quarterback and has the 6th most passing yards per game in the league. The Bills are now second in sacks only to the Packers. I guess the Osi trade worked out. Although, most of those sacks were against the AFC East's personal punching bag, but you don't pick who you face. The defense has also allowed the 4th least yards per game and the least points per game in the league. They'll need to play another strong game when the Bills go down to Brady's house.

[2]

Eagles (5-0) W5 - The Eagles are surprisingly winning with the best rushing offense in the league. Westbrook has taken the team on his back with the most yards among non-asterisk runningbacks. Their potent offense has posted the second most yards in the league and the 4th most points. They are also leading the league in turnover differential and interceptions. It seems as if the vaunted East is firmly in the Eagles' grasp, but it's too early to tell. The next two weeks feature an inconsistent Bears team and an also inconsistent division rival. All signs point to this train keeping a full head of steam.

[3]

Broncos (5-0) W5 – The Worst 5-0 Team Ever™ comes off a week where they took out the previous season's AFCW division leader. The Broncos have beaten 3 good teams in their great start and 2... teams. They seem like the real deal with the fifth most points in the league, the fifth most rushing yards, second best turnover differential, the third highest rated quarterback, fourth best running back, and third most interceptions. *phew* The Broncos take on their second division rival in a row next week and then follow that up with a trip to New York to face the Jets.

[4]

Buccaneers (3-1) W3 – The Bucs started off shaky, but haven’t faltered since their first week loss. In the last two weeks, the Buccaneers have taken the division lead from the Saints and beat up on the Steelers for good measure. Has Josh Fraudman actually taken the Buccaneers out of the DMball era? The young quarterback is now top 10 in yards and has the second most touchdowns of all quarterbacks. Antonio Bryant has 4 receiving touchdowns already. The defense isn’t the stingy defense of old, but is still producing plenty of turnovers. Tampa is leading the league in interceptions. The next two weeks see the Buccaneers taking on two struggling teams.

[5]

49ers (3-1) W1 – Jack English couldn’t manage a win against the Broncos in week 4. Hell, he couldn’t manage a touchdown in regulation. In Arizona, he had a forgettable game, but he got the W versus the Cardinals. The 49ers are in full control of their division at the moment and look to cement their status next week versus the Seattle Seahawks. Will Jack English manage to get back into the top 5 quarterbacks list?

[6]

Ravens (3-1) W1- After a loss to the lowly Raiders, the Ravens took out their frustrations on their fellow AFCN team, the Bengals. By doing so, they have also taken the lead in the North. Boldin only has 2 catches for 28 yards since moving to Baltimore. Their bigger acquisition seems to be Larry Johnson who has apparently overtaken the premiere back duties from Ray Rice. The KC bigot already has 82 after one game. The fourth best rushing attack in the league gets even better. The Ravens take on the Falcons next and then host the Bengals for what will probably be another shellacking.

[7]

Patriots (2-0) W2 http://i50.tinypic.com/11weolt.jpg

[8]

Packers (3-2) W1 – With the sudden fall of the Vikings, the Packers look in control of the NFC North.

[9]

Jaguars (1-2) W3 - The MJD-less Jaguars have leap-frogged the Colts for the division lead and they already own the tie-breaker for the division crown. :Manningface

[10]

Chargers (3-2) L1 – The Chargers temporarily lost control of the division, but something tells me they’ll re bound against the lowly Raiders next week! At least the Turner trade worked out for someone…

[11]

Saints (4-1) W1 - The Saints couldn’t take out the Bucs, but they showed they still have the Panthers’ number with a close victory. DREW BREEEEEES didn’t fare too well in that game, but everyone has one of those games, right?

[12]

Giants (2-1) W1 – The Giants fell to the Cards, but there’s no shame in losing to an NFC Best team. They did come back and win a squeaker over the Vikings, but they’ll be looking to blowout the Redskins the following week. I WONDER THEY’LL DELIVER ON THAT!

[13]

Raiders (3-1) W1 - http://i47.tinypic.com/f797q.jpg

[14]

Steelers (3-2) L1– The Steelers lost a game to the Bucs and the division to the Ravens in one fell swoop. They can take care of business in week 8 if they want it back. Don’t worry, Pittsburgh, Flacco can’t scramble for shit!

[15]

Cowboys (3-2) W2 – Wow. The Cowboys’ potent offense put the hurt on Tennessee. With such a potent offense, I bet there will never be a time when they get the score run up on them. Keep on truckin’, Dallas!

[16]

Jets (3-2) W2 – Franchize couldn’t take care of business against the Packers, but they take on the lowly Dolphins next. Unfortunately, that will be followed by a visit by the Broncos. I believe, Franchize! Make us proud! …ugh, I think I’m gonna throw up…

[17]

Colts (2-3) L1 – Don’t worry. Maybe there will be more cpu wins in you future!

[18]

Bears (2-2) W1 – The Bears are the Packers’ only competition this season, but they have a habit of sucking ass. I blame JPout. How can your team rally behind a leader with sandy vagina? Now, I’m not one to fault a person for their handicap, and SV is a serious condition, but people should know their limitations. He’s already accomplished enough. Now is the time to go and spread awareness about his affliction to the masses. Write a book, tour some campuses, do a few talk shows, etc. If we all pitch in, we can put an end to SV in our children's lifetimes.

[19]

Panthers (2-2) L1 - The Panthers kept it close against the Saints and beat up on the Skins to maintain .500. Maybe they can make some noise this year? Next week is their biggest test when they face the division leader. Take out Freeman and get a free tote bag!

[20]

Browns (2-2) W1 – The Browns defense seems legit, but is it enough to compete in the North? Probably not. Prove me wrong!

[21]

Seahawks (2-3) L1 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0XAI-PFQcA

[22]

Redskins (2-3) W1 – So… how ‘bout that Morrow… JCamp is all kinds of disappointed to be out of a Redskins uniform right when this potent passing attack hit DC.

[23]

Falcons (1-3) L1 – Last year’s Falcons are hiding in there somewhere, right? Maybe we’ll see them again before the season is done. Or maybe we can just blame it on the NFCS curse. No one knows it was broken last year, anyway.

[24]

Chiefs (1-3) L2– The Chiefs hit the bye with two straight losses, but now they face some chump team called the “Brancos” or something. Never heard of them, so they must be crap. Oh, wait, it’s the “Broncos”?! The third team on this list? Shieeeeeeeee… I mean… uh. Stay positive, KC! I see good things in your future. Like a Dwayne Bowe trade to Oakland! I believe!!!

[25]

Cardinals (0-3) L3 – “wow #3 vs. #25 coming up FMT is going KILLLL me guess i shouldn't even bother showing up.....

(not)” Next time, listen to the rankings. They’re here to help!

[26]

Rams (1-3) W1 – A win! One step closer to NFC West gold. Next thing you know, you’ll be enjoying golden showers in the San Francisco Bay! Suck it down, 9ers!

[27]

Bengals (1-3) L3 – I’ll go out on a huge limb and predict a win for you next week. Thank me later.

[28]

Lions (1-3) W1 – Thank heavens for Dane Morrow. The Lions are no longer the bottom of the North!

[29]

Texans (0-5) L5 – Fuck it, go deep! Wait, that’s not working? Go deeper!

[30]

Vikings (0-5) L5 – I heard Favre was thinking about coming out of retirement before week 7. He decided to stay home after he saw his favorite target was out for a better part of the season.

[31]

Titans (0-5) L5 – Man, you have a tough schedule… and it doesn’t let up any time soon… Silver lining: you didn’t move down the list! There’s something to hang your hat on. Whatever the fuck that means…

[32]

Dolphins (0-5) L5 – It’s not time to tank yet. That’s week 7 talk! Then, you can load up on more picks and get even less wins next season! Eventually, you’ll have no wins, but like 5 top 5 picks on your starting roster. Worked for Al Davis…

 

[Somnia]

Cowboys (3-2) W2 – Wow. The Cowboys’ potent offense put the hurt on Tennessee. With such a potent offense, I bet there will never be a time when they get the score run up on them. Keep on truckin’, Dallas!

:lol

 

[AstroLad]

i am 2-4 now buddy! this is like looking at the print SI power rankings three weeks late at a dentist's office

 

[Rorschach]

Thanks, BigAT!

i am 2-4 now buddy! this is like looking at the print SI power rankings three weeks late at a dentist's office

That was supposed to be 1-4. Still delayed, but less so! Quickies tend to have problems. :[

Or maybe the rankings are making a prediction! 0-3 in your next three games?! :O

 

[AstroLad]

unpossible

 

[Striker]

Great rankings and write-up Rors.

Defense has been good, but I can't muster up shit on offense it seems.

Let's hope Marcellus Bennett helps!

 

[daw840]

Alright, alright guys. Calm down. It was a joke. Don't try and leave the league just for some tomfoolery. Smokey had originally inquired about a MLB, and I said no. Then he asked about Harvin and I said "absolutely not," then we concocted a nice little prank to play on the league to get everyone bent out of shape. Calm down everyone.

 

[AstroLad]

then we concocted a nice little prank to play on the league to get everyone bent out of shape. Calm down everyone.

why would you be telling everyone to calm down if that was your intent!?

 

[Matrix]

Total garbage, Ive never played with a team so awful at tackling.

Fuck it, this is open season.

My whole damn team is for trade except McGahee *and rookies*, thanks for that steal Fifty

I want decent offers, don't throw garbage at me.

 

[daw840]

why would you be telling everyone to calm down if that was your intent!?

Because it was funny for a while, now people are seriously contemplating quitting the league and I feel like the joke has run its course.

Spoiler

Fifty's reaction was the best, IMHO!

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

:lol

guys that trade would have never happened.

i've already talked to smokey about the NBA style trades. i'm willing to let a couple happen a year with the understanding that i'm not allowing anymore with that team. smokeys trade for turner was basically with the understanding that i wouldn't approve any more moderate to major trades involving any of his players. and thats pretty much how i'm going to treat it in most situations.

 

[Matrix]

Well I'm in complete tank mode now.

 

[Mrbob]

 

[CB3]

Well I'm in complete tank mode now.

Trade me an outside linebacker (if he's good!)

 

[daw840]

He's the Chiefs.

We are our own biggest critic. ;(

I'm not your biznatch, look at my players see what you like and offer.

GG

If it weren't for my big plays it would have been close. For the most part you were able to keep my running game in check. Except for when your players decided to take a play off and forget to tackle. That pick I threw was horrible. It was probably because I was on the road. My D was good enough except for your last drive. I wanted to give my back ups playing time but they were horrible.

BTW: If I stop sprinting when I am running alone into the endzone. It is because I don't want to tire out my players.

Edit: Thanks for the rankings rors. I never would have imagined where I am at, especially after last season.

 

[Matrix]

GG, much better first game and half though.


No such thing as tackling on this Chiefs team. I could pick the right D and 90% of the time all it takes is one broken tackle and the player is gone like he's playing the real life Texans of week 1-3.

I can't believe how bad it is. That 70 yard run should have never happened. The two of your int's you returned for td's, both players should have been tackled. It changes the whole outcome of the game when I can't depend on anyone tackling unless I'm user controlling the player and it's still a struggle to get the player down.

McGahee surprised me. I didn't expect him to break so many tackles. And your TE was just toying with my LBs. I finally wised up and put a safety on him. I have no idea how I was not able to get a single sack. Either you just got it off or I got the animation that makes you just throw it start up in the air.

I always know the route and play I want to do on O by heart before I snap the ball. That's basically the main reason why I'm able to avoid sacks despite my shitty o-line. I just get the ball out of my hands as quickly as possible, I guess at this point I have gotten use to the pressure.

I'm pleased that Willis had a good game. Meanwhile, LJ can't run against the Falcons. :lol

I'll rejoin the league tomorrow. I can't do it from the site. I'm glad that I gave you guys the intended effect, and entertained Somnia. I'm like Glenn Beck, and this league is my America. I care too much about it.

You actually dropped out?!

:lol :lol :lol

Man some of you were pisssssed. There were plenty of hints thrown around that it was BS starting with the fact that no commish approved it, but nobody stopped to think about that:lol

hook, line, SINKER!

 

[BigJonsson]

lol @ go deeper

I'm actually fucking up when I throw short, some double move routes are just money in the bank

:lol

Nice work. :lol

For those in the NBA leagues Smoke and i did the same thing in regards to Kobe. The difference was we actually traded the players, but then traded them back

[DenogginizerOS]

Pheenix,

I will likely not be able to play until Friday evening after 915EST. We can shoot for 930EST on Friday if that works for you.

I am still waiting to hear from the good pirate Pheenix.

 

[ph33nix]

I am still waiting to hear from the good pirate Pheenix.

Actually, I quit. I can't play with pirates.

You need to send me a PM.

This 9:30 time sounds fine.

I need to figure this Joey Porter shit out though. i'm busy all day until i get home at night

 

[DenogginizerOS]

I will be at work until about 900. I should be able to play at 930PM EST.

Sorry for not sending a PM. I figured you posted so much in this thread you saw my note. Does 930 work for you?

 

[sableholic]

if we make a trade this week, when will it go into affect? Say I traded bush, would I still have bush for this week?

 

[LiveWire]

WEEK 7 EDITION

Patriots (-7) @ Bears O/U=54.5

Rams (+8) @ Buccaneers O/U=49.0

Seahawks (+13) @ Chargers O/U=53.5

Colts (-17) @ Chiefs O/U=62.0

Bills (-14) @ Dolphins O/U=58.5

Panthers (+4) @ Falcons O/U=55.5

Broncos (-6) @ Jets O/U=56.5

Packers (-8) @ Lions O/U=53.5

Bengals (+9) @ Ravens O/U=50.0

Eagles (-14) @ Redskins O/U=61.5

49ers (+6) @ Saints O/U=57.5

Browns (+7) @ Steelers O/U=49.5

Giants (-14) @ Titans O/U=54.5

Raiders (-10) @ Texans O/U=52.5



LIVEWIRE'S ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY, NO DOUBT ABOUT IT GUARANTEED LOCK OF THE WEEK!!!!

This week, give me Peyton Manning and the Colts with 17 points over the Chiefs. Rumor has it that the entire Chiefs organization has abandoned the team and left Kansas City. The players/coaches apparently didn't get the memo yet, so for one more week, they will be somewhat competitive. Next week, the citizens of Kansas City may have to field their own team, and the spread may jump over 20 for the first time ever!

Season record for my locks: 2-0, obviously!

Until next time, bet with confidence my friend!

 

[AstroLad]

if we make a trade this week, when will it go into affect? Say I traded bush, would I still have bush for this week?

It takes effect as soon as you offer and the other person accepts on the 360.

 

[Lonestar]

I am happy to say that livewire is 0-2 when picking my games!!! Take that Lost Vegas.

Thats kinda dumb of EA, so I could play with bush, trade him and then that person could play him all in the same week.

Damn why am I a 6 point favorite over FMT

 

[AstroLad]

I don't know if that specific scenario would work, but I'd imagine it would.

I'm pretty sure both teams need to play their game for the current week before a trade can go through.

 

[Wellington]

Hey you're a 7 point favorite now, don't fuck it up. :lol

Bob never gets any credit. he is pretty good, he just waits until the end of the year to heat up.

14 point favorite over Airbrian? He's going to fuck me up now. Speed backs are my weakness this year.

What schtick? You know better than anyone how bad my run D has been!

Airbrian, when are you available this weekend? I should be good to go at any time outside of when the Giants play.

 

[LiveWire]

What schtick? You know better than anyone how bad my run D has been!

Whatever.

 

[Birdman02]

Damn you bye week....why do you have to kill my momentum?!?! Looks like I'm a Chief's (oh and Giants and Raiders) fan this week.....GOOOOO Matrix!!!!!!

I just have to figure out how to stop olsen and Bennett....


Crap

 

[AirBrian]

Cowboys (3-2) W2 – Wow. The Cowboys’ potent offense put the hurt on Tennessee. With such a potent offense, I bet there will never be a time when they get the score run up on them. Keep on truckin’, Dallas!

Um, I haven't played the Cowgirls yet.

Quit trying to break my spirits, Rors!
