2015 Edition: Pick 5 (or more) NFL Teams that won't make playoffs (1 Viewer)

[Zow]

####. How'd I miss this. I nailed it last year. Anyway, here are my 5 - I promise with no cheating:

1. Jacksonville

2. Oakland

3. Buffalo

4. Minnesota

5. St. Louis

Apparently I meant NYJ as the AFC basement dweller, but otherwise not looking too bad.

especially facing the handicap of picking 3 weeks into the season.

nice work.

I swear up and down I had those chosen before the season started. Just forgot to post it. Frankly, it's not like I've included some rogue choice that wouldn't have made sense in the preseason but did three weeks in.

CHEATER !!!

 

[El Floppo]

he's a fatty cheating cheater.

 

[McGarnicle]

Giants

Raiders

Rams

Texans

Jaguars

Looking good.

 

[Gene Sackman]

Vikes are improving, and if Rudolph and AP are back after our bye, we are DANGEROUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Corporation]

I'll go Cowboys (sadly), Jags, Raiders, Browns, Rams

Well I'm a Cowboys fan, so if I miss because of them that'd be a good thing. If they regress to the mean and the Browns burn me, that'd suck.

 

[Yankee23Fan]

NY Giants

NY Jets

Miami Dolphins

Buffalo Bills

Washington Redskins

Dolphins and Bills trying to make me look bad.

 

[TheIronSheik]

I think next year we should do a game where you pick 5 teams not to make the playoffs but the person who's teams have the best overall record wins. That way you don't just pick easy teams. You kind of have to pick middle of the road teams.

 

[Sinn Fein]

Somehow I read that as "he's a cheerleader sucking a fatty"

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Aced this easy last year, I'll go with MIN-ARI-CLE-JAC-OAK for 2014.

By ARI I really meant CARI, as in Carolina.

Thanks. You were always one of my favorite wrestlers.

That's what i tried to do by picking:

SEA

SF

CHI

WAS

KC

I did it, too. I thought about picking SEA. Nice picks, BTW.

 

[Limp Ditka]

If you pick the Niners, you are a real stupid ass.

They're 4-3, 10-6 looks like worst case to me

http://www.49ers.com/schedule/season-schedule.html

I meant 10-6 best case..

 

[Mr. Know-It-All]

St Louis

Jacksonville

Oakland

Cleveland

Minnesota

Yeesh, Cleveland making me sweat.

 

[TenTimes]

Texans 4-5

Rams 3-5

Vikings 4-5

Raiders 0-8

49ers 4-4

Ryan Mallet scares me a little Adrian Peterson's not coming back, right?

we got this

 

[Keerock]

OAK 1-11

HOU 6-6

CLE 7-5

NYG 3-9

STL 5-7

I like this...

Jets 1-8 2-11

Texans 4-5 7-6

Panthers 3-5 4-8-1

Raiders 0-8 2-11

I still like my way!

You live for this bump, don't you?

 

[QuizGuy66]

Here's my 5. Seems harder this year:

Browns

Titans

Giants

Vikings

Rams

-QG

In decent shape, largely b/c the Browns are doing so poorly in the tiebreakers.

-QG

 

[IvanKaramazov]

Bills

Jaguars

Browns

Rams

Buccaneers

Not completely out of the woods yet, but looking good.

 

[TenTimes]

Texans 7-6

Rams 6-7

Vikings 6-7

Raiders 2-11

49ers 7-6

Am I winning for best combined record without a playoff team? (assuming the Texans don't sneak in )

Has anybody clinched a win yet? CHI, NYG, WAS, TB, NYJ, TEN, OAK, JAX, I think those are the eliminated teams.

I'll try to update the google doc sheet later.

 

[Bottomfeeder Sports]

49ers

Bengals

Chiefs

Panthers

Patriots

65 entries so far. I take it this is real and you are trying to use all playoff teams from last year. No extra points for degree of difficulty

Oh well!

He felt bad and gave up.

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Still a bad pick.

 

[Limp Ditka]

Still a bad pick.

A ton of preseason chatter about how Harbaugh rubbed everyone in the org with a pulse the wrong way.

Your QB sucks when playing outside of the read option, which they've conpletly abandoned

Didn't know when / if Navorro was coming back

Aldon Smith drama

Plenty of reasons why this team could have, and did, come up short.

 

[TenTimes]

It wasn't that hard to predict they'd be 3rd behind Arizona/Seattle. I picked the Rams too, all I really did was predict the Cardinals/Seahawks would be really good, and it'd be really hard for a 3rd team in any division to make the playoffs (ARZ last year 10 wins, 3rd in division, missed playoffs).

Reasonable. But one of the 2-3 worst teams in the conference? That's basically what you're looking for, right? Even with everything that is wrong and has gone wrong, they still arent that.

 

[TenTimes]

It really wasn't as shticky a pick as it looks. I know the NFCW by far the best of all, then GB, DEN, and IND were my next favorite division winners, took what I thought was the worst team in each division. Round about way of doing it, but I've never been right doing it the other way.

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Should've put a big bet on the niners win total, then? Were you expecting them to win 4 games?

 

[Josie Maran]

Steelers

Jets

Giants

Redskins

Raiders

:eastcoastbias:

I like to pick teams that people think might actually have a chance. Except the Raiders, of course...gotta grab a little low hanging fruit occasionally.

Looking pretty good here.

 

[QuizGuy66]

Here's my 5. Seems harder this year:

Browns

Titans

Giants

Vikings

Rams

-QG

In decent shape, largely b/c the Browns are doing so poorly in the tiebreakers.

-QG

Yup barring a Browns miracle I'm set now

In terms of people picking the Niners - too gutsy for my taste but a rationale certainly was there to be made. Picking the "worst" teams isn't the be-all in this - you need the teams that are in the worst spot

-QG

 

[tdoss]

Seems like a slam dunk

Buffalo Bills

Cleveland Browns

Jacksonville Jaquars

Oakland Raiders

Minnesota Vikings

I'd think you'd need to pick 6 or 7 before it starts to get tough.

Too easy...pick 6 or 7 teams next year.

 

[Good Posting Judge]

A lot of teams are who we thought they were.

 

[McGarnicle]

Giants

Raiders

Rams

Texans

Jaguars

Boom.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Vikes are improving, and if Rudolph and AP are back after our bye, we are DANGEROUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great stuff.

 

[TenTimes]

Houston holds all tiebreakers over teams that could finish at 9-7 with them based on either head to head or conference record. Therefore, Houston gets in by beating Jacksonville AND having San Diego (@KC) and Baltimore (vsCLE) lose

 

[Angry Beavers]

oakland, texans, browns, bills, jets

I could just about pick this again...Browns, raiders, bills,jaguars,rams

The Have Nots don't seem to change too much

 

[IvanKaramazov]

Bills

Jaguars

Browns

Rams

Buccaneers

Not completely out of the woods yet, but looking good.

This was too easy. Didn't even have to use other pretty obvious selections like the Vikings, Titans, or Raiders.

In future years, you should have to pick more teams. Five is too few. (Edit: in other words, what tdoss said).

 

[BobbyLayne]

If you pick the Niners, you are a real stupid ass.

 

[BobbyLayne]

OK for reals:

STL

CLE

OAK

JAX

MIN

100%

 

[Bottomfeeder Sports]

In future years, you should have to pick more teams. Five is too few. (Edit: in other words, what tdoss said).

Require a few of the teams come from last season's playoff teams. (And going to 14 playoff teams will make it even better.)

 

[oso diablo]

has the NFL changed? a few years back, this seemed to be much more difficult.

 

[The Commish]

You should have to pick 5 teams other than the Raiders.

JAX

Dallas

Cleveland

Buffalo

Detroit

Didn't fare to well this year....who'd have thunk it....Dallas actually doing what it was suppose to do.

 

[FlapJacks]

If you pick the Niners, you are a real stupid ass.

 

[FlapJacks]

Tough year

I'll go:

Bills

Browns

Texans

Jags

Bucs

5/5 probably as most had

needs to be tougher next time
