We really had a lot of fun with this last season,so much so that I feel the need to give out some awards. First off,the one award that you absolutely don’t want to get is The Worst Beat of The Season,and that happened last season on the very first Monday Night game. @steelworker had picked Buffalo to beat the NY Jets,with there new MVP QB Aaron Rodgers. Four plays into the game Rodgers tears his Achilles tendon,and @steelworker is thinking this is money in the bank,like taking candy from the proverbial baby.Somehow The Jets hang around, the game goes into overtime,and the Jets win it on a miracle punt return that goes for a touchdown. There were a lot of tough losses last season but nothing came close to that. Rookie of the Year has to go to @Mizmazzle who came in with his magic lucky socks and went on a 4-5 game winning streak. And the unanimous choice for MVP had to be @scooter who definitely got more wins consecutively and totally than anyone else. I don’t think he ever spent any time on the sidelines. There you have it.

@Oaktavia One thing for sure,unlike in the playoffs,now that they have Derick Henry,you can be sure they will be running the football. They have to be super motivated. I couldn’t touch that game. I’m sure @Alex hopes the both beat each other up as his Bengals play the Chiefs the following week.

[Mizmazzle]

@Jett129 Great recap!! Picking up right where you left off!! So stoked to get this season started!! Broncos have yet another new QB!! Should make for great fun to watch! Plus I have my new IHSH-37 to wear every Sunday now in place of my crusty ol' socks!!

I'll go Eagles over the Packers for the first game of the season! Both of those teams I feel are pretty evenly matched so why not start things off with a challenge!!

[Jett129]

@Mizmazzle Just making sure,you know that game’s in Brazil,and the only way you can see it is on P.Cock.

[Mizmazzle]

Whoa!! I knew it was on Peacock but didn’t realize that was the Brazil game. Sheesh. My wife is from Philly so she’s the Eagles fan. NFL ain’t fucking around on the season opener this year.

@Jett129 I’m in and thanks for getting this going again. I’ll take San Francisco to beat the Jets.

[SKT]

I’m in. Bills over Cardinals. I absolutely cannot do worse than last year.

[Jett129]

@SKT You and me both,proving that an astute knowledge of football does not necessarily translate into doing well in this sort of competition. So if anyone is on the 21OZ ledge about joining in,please give it a go.

[Twistlock]

Back in too, Bengals over Pats.

[Jett129]

@Twistlock Nice to have you back. That’s the game I’ve kind of zeroed in on,figuring if the can’t beat the Pats at home,they’re going to have a much tougher time with the Chiefs the following week at Arrowhead.

@IrishHeart said in American Football (NFL):

I’m guessing you’re thinking maybe Rodgers lasts 5 maybe 6 plays this season.

[Matt]

I’m all in on the Ravens this week because I’m not a poseur like @Oaktavia

[goosehd]

@Matt …then again, it was probably a signed paper requirement for crossing the Maryland border with a New Mexican plated U-Haul.

[Jett129]

@Matt Nice way to say I’m back,on multiple levels.

[Oaktavia]

LOL

[IrishHeart]

@Jett129 joking aside, I’m hoping he stays fit this season as it will be interesting to see how he gets on at New York.

@Jett129 Thank you for taking the time to run this survivor league. I really enjoy participating in it. For my pick I am going to go with the Bills over the Cardinals as well.

[steelworker]

@Jett129 damn, Id forgotten that! Grrr...
Id like to welcome @Matt back to the right coast with KC over Balt

[Jett129]

@steelworker Sorry for the reminder. Happy to have you back. Along with everyone else. Looking forward to the season.

[steelworker]

Id rather Ravens win but if not I can rag on the many Balt fans here.
Thats right, Im lookin at you @Oaktavia
