*NCLANCER LOOK AWAY*



... Timing both young QBs in the pocket today, Love consistently releases the ball in under 2 seconds and often right around 1.5 seconds. Fields is being pressured and/or sacked holding the ball around 3 seconds or longer. 

So, I’ve read all the Fields talk lately on here, but I haven’t watched him. So I put the Bears-Packers on the 2nd tv just to watch. 
 

I still watching to see the first time he has 3 seconds to hold the ball, or move to a 2nd read. He’s barely had time to set up before he’s had defenders on him. I don’t know if it’s been this way or not all year, but if it has, how can you really judge him?  His OL is getting dominated today.

I'm currently watching the Seattle - Arizona game which has playoff implications. If the Hawks win they are in. This has been a great game between the Actor's Red Bird's and the Director's Fluorescent Greens. 😀

 

Just now, a Fake FG for a TD by the Cards to take the lead with 9 minutes to go in the game!

Playoffs Contest 

 

Please make sure you understand the format and the point system. Please also bookmark this post so you have it handy all Playoffs long to refer to when you have to submit your total points for the week. 

 

How it works.

 

Each player gets two Double It Please (DIP) plays to start. DIP's are totally optional. They can be used only during the first two weeks of the Playoffs. That is the Wild Card Weekend and the Divisional round weekend. You can use your DIP plays once each week during the first two weeks. Again this play is optional. 

 

Week 1 - Wildcard Weekend 

Pick either a side or an O/U in all the games. A DIP Play is allowed. 

Each winning pick is worth 20 points.

A loss is 0 points. 

A Push is worth 5 points. 

If you DIP'd a play and it hits you win 40 points. If you lose your DIP play it is -20 points, and again if you Push it is worth 5 points 

 

Week 2 - Divisional Round 

Pick a side AND an O/U in all the games. A DIP Play is allowed.

Each winning pick is worth 15 points. A loss is 0 points. A push is 5.

If you hit a DIP it is 30 points won. If you lose it's -15 points. A push is 5. 

 

* The Double It Play (always optional) at this point in the contest is now over. There is no DIP play involved during the final two weeks. 

 

Week 3 - Conference Championship Games

Pick a side AND an O/U in both games. 

A winning Pick is worth 10 points 

0 for a losing Pick.

A Push is worth 5 Points 

 

Week 4 - Super Bowl

Pick both the side and an O/U in the game. 

Each winning Pick is worth 25 points.

0 points for a losing Pick, and 5 for a Push. 

Submit a Total Points Scored in the game in the case we need a tiebreaker.

Well the Cowboys lost for me, but the two unders hit with an under PP.

 

Its a 25 pt weekend for me.

 

142+25=167

First time all season 3-0 plus a PP.  Gimme those 35 points!

[Triple Lindy]

NFC playoffs start with some tasty games.

 

Packers @ Dallas - McCarthy’s old team comes to town. 
Rams @ Lions - the 2 swapped QBs face off against each other

Philly @ Tampa - well, it looks like both teams pretty much suck, so…

 

 

[Double Mocha Man]

Wait a minute... back the truck up.  Turns out I lost the Seattle game.  Gimme a measly 30 points.

Back up again - you get 25 points. I think. (PP=20, other win=5.) Of course, I won my first PP game of the year, so what do I know.

Not to mention they ran the ball for hardly anything that tells me their offensive line is pathetic.  And the coach insisted on running the ball with Herbert who averaged a little over 2 yards per carry.  Fire him now.

Week 18 Results

 

KC/LAC Over L 0 pts

Atl/NO Over W +5 pts

Arizona +3 W +5 pts (Unfortunately, they didn't get their 5th win...no bonus for me.)

 

Total: +10 pts

 

I guess I finished the regular season 25-26-3 (3-2 PP).

Wouldn't let the punter do the ol' flop, as hard as he tried. What a phony.  I hope there was no flag.

It never ends.  UGH    😄

 

A good many of us have been doing this for a number of years Mr. desert DJ and they know I have been trying to mix it up a touch over the last few years. So we will always have the "I'm feeling hot with this one" play going forward. 🕺

 

Study up on the " DIP "  play for the Playoffs gents.
