Wow I am very disappointed that it closed already. I didn't have time during the week and didn't think it would close. I had planned to do my entry this morning too. There should have been a BIG warning about the early closing...
:rolleyes:Or, you could have taken the 2 minutes it takes to check the contest rules. The rules clearly state the deadline.Don't be a victim.
I'm a victim as well..What do they say,never assume anything................I should have read the entire rules page..Good luck All.........Fin........

RB: Fred Taylor

RB: Brandon Jacobs

Good looking team...Branch not playing today will hurt, but, nice team otherwise.
 
In the spirit of sharing...

QB Tom Brady

QB Brett Favre

RB LaDainian Tomlinson

RB Fred Taylor

RB Earnest Graham

WR Plaxico Burress

WR Bobby Engram

WR Hines Ward

WR Reggie Wayne

TE Jason Witten

K Rob Bironas

DEF Washington Redskins

I had a hunch that Bironas would be a popular choice at kicker... the rest of that Titans lineup is scary.

I made my picks as soon as I saw the link, and didn't make any changes. I did want to switch Holmes for Ward, but was too late.

Agreed. I checked earlier in the week and the contest entry form- let alone the contest rules- had not been posted. By the time I had a chance to check back (early this morning), it had already been closed to members' entries? :unsure: :thumbup:

RB: Clinton Portis

WR: Randy Moss

WR: Hines Ward

WR: Plaxico Burress

WR: Bobby Engram

TE: Jason Witten

PK: Matt Bryant

DEF: Tennessee Titans

I opted to go for RMoss over Brady because he gives me a WR I can definitely count on. Garrard was my choice off Jax because he was the only Jag I felt you could count on for points. I put the Tenn D in because I expect the defenses to score the least and Tenn is the most likely to be out in one game. I wanted Ryan Grant in there but didn't feel he catches enough passes to take full advantage of the PPR, so I went with Favre from GB. The targets in GB get divided up way too evenly for me to take a GB WR. Hines Ward is a money man in big games and in any weather so I picked him over Holmes. I took Engram over Branch for PPR reasons. I have to hope Addai stays healthy. I didn't feel good enough about Wayne with Harrison becoming a playoff option for Manning. With TO injured I think Witten is the top receiver in Dallas.

I like my group, which means I'm probably destined for the very bottom. Either way, it gives me something to root for. Thanks FBG.com for making your subscription well worth the money again this year.

So between Monday and today, you didn't have 2 minutes to log on and check the rules?Don't be a victim.
 
Here's my crack at it. Expecting a GB/NE superbowl if I want a good chance, but I won't mind if Indy, SD, Dallas, or TB Make it either. I wouldn't be surprised if there are quite a few duplicate entires in this format. Hoping TEN kicks about 6 FG's tonight, although it looks like most of you all thought the same thing.

When were the rules posted?Take your condescension elsewhere.
I'm sick and tired of people complaining about a situation that was brought on due to their own laziness. Don't blame the contest organizers because you can't get your #### together. 99% of us on this board have 5 minutes to log on and check what's going on with the playoff contest. Stop crying people. Good luck to those who took the time to get in the contest. For those who didn't make it, better luck next year.
 
Thoughts on the 4pts per pass TD and 1PPR? Big reason I went with Randy Moss/Reggie Wayne over Brady/Manning and took Favre/Big Ben instead.

QB: Brett Favre

Probably should have gone Bironas/Jax D.

Cracking up at Bironas. Wonder if he is the most picked player?

No, he's fourth. Take a guess at the top 3.
Brady, LT, Portis?
That's two of the three. Cooley, not Portis, is actually the most popular Redskin choice.In order, Tomlinson, Brady, and Plaxico Burress are the top 3. Would you believe more than 90% of the entries have LT (less than 6% have Gates)?
I had Gates this year and Rivers made sure that I wouldn't take him in the playoffs.

Yeah, a handful have the Defense, Rivers, Jackson, Chambers, or Kaeding. A few people have Ben Watson. Steve Smith. Patrick Crayton. Matt Jones. Nate Washington. Bubba Franks. I'm not sure that a couple of insane nonstandard picks is a bad idea in a contest of this nature. If you're trying to score bragging rights by finishing higher than your buddy, it probably is a bad idea. But if you want to increase your chances of winning it all, it might not be.

 
To those :own3d: -ing while I feel your pain as I missed out last year under similar circumstances I have to say you shoulda seen the courtesy bump I gave ahead of deadline. I'm sure you won't forget next year :ptts:

Anyhow, after all I sad about zigging instead of zagging, I mostly zagged with the exception being that I didn't take Bironas.

I'm just hoping my team somehow through this is unique.

Any total count of entries yet from the Turk?

:hophead:

I think it'd be better if it was a one week contest, but you'd better be pretty lucky with the contrarian picks over the course of the whole playoffs. That's a pretty dangerous approach.

 
As good as Gates is, I took LT2 b/c the difference b/w him and the RBs in the 4-6 range is pretty steep. With Gates you had viable options in Witten and even a couple other guys like Cooley and Clark.

Should be fun :hophead:

-QG

 
I'm not actually sure Tomlinson is such a great deal, although I actually got stuck with him slapping together a last minute entry. If Haynesworth can play the whole game, there's a chance Tenn can stuff him, knock out the Chargers, and not only do you not get much, but you're in the same boat with everybody else. Picking another RB could get you a leg up there, but it's all a trade off, I guess.
