I'm sick. Can't believe that just happened in New Orleans. Only left in double elimination pool after that. Thanks to ref Don King for unrightfully taking away that td in the 2nd quarter that resulted in a missed field goal

i dont think fading the public sounds too intelligent in a pick'em strategy game.

lol @ you

I don't have regrets about loading up on NO. I feel sick, but with lots of hours projecting the whole season out, it was the right play. Dallas and Chicago had value down the road that I didn't want to give up

Yeah a few guys said charles would run all over them. He did and it took some help for them still to win.

You have to pick 17 teams. A lot of them will fall under "really aren't any good".

I don't really regret picking them. It took a decent comeback and a missed call (happens).

Yeah, I guess that's my point. If you can pick the 17 teams you want, why take NOR? If you think they are one of the top 17 then I can see your reasoning.

It's about matchups not taking the top 17 teams.

Did you watch the Dallas game? Refs screwed tampa. They had a fumble-6 that was nullified because of a blown whistle. Refs took a td away from saints too that resulted in a missed field goal. Just because a team loses doesn't mean it was a bad pick.
