AE AE14 Launch & Discussion

[Chism]

Antonio Brown and Le'Veon Bell?

With no Big Ben they are poo and he is getting worse every season not to mention he will be 300 pounds soon and could not run away from a turtle!

 

[JeffDunne]

Come on JD, help Moo out

If he changed his team from Fremantle to St Kilda I might consider it.

 

[Blacky]

He would get one extra premiership in the process

 

[mcgarnacle]

mcgarnacle it appears you tipped Pittsburgh while i took the Ravens. Come the **** at me

You will no doubt end up beating me now lol

it was very much the 'give you' so you could at least enjoy the weekend. make the most of it.

in his current athletic state, they could swap him with will ferrell and i wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

*wave away the mosquito's* That's why Big Ben only had his BEST half of passing in his career last week.. move along Ben hater..

The reactive D doesn't work against any proficient O as the Ravens were playing a smart 'mistake-free' game as opposed to the sloppy Steelers who left too many plays out on the field along with lack of discipline. FTR.. I didn't agree with the 'roughing the passer' on #7 when he was sacked early in the game.. Soft NFL call.. as for the Cortez Allen DPI in the endzone.. garbage call.. the SF-Balt SB had more contact and that was a smart no-call. Goodell is nothing but a dishonest incompetent F*** wit!!

If that was his best you guys are finished.

You have not scored a TD for 6Qtrs of football now and every negative thought i had of the Steelers before the season started is coming to fruition. Seriously you guys are going no where and will be helped a little bit with padded stats because of the ineptness of your division where every team in it will most likely do nothing.

Some real humdingers amongst these already with TNF not having much of an impact:

MY BEST EIGHT MATCH UPS OF THE WEEK TWO:
JEFFDUNNE vs PETERBUCH74:
Head to head: 1-1
With JD bouncing off the ropes to lower the boom on the ND '10 champ, Dirty Bird, in a big way (35 point shellacking!!) while 2011 CR and ND Finalist, PeterBuch74, making easy work of getting past the 2013 Temptation Champ, Imation23, (95-80), this Divisional Dogfight of the Peyton Manning Division has plenty at stake to offer the winner the Division first place spot guaranteed after week 2 along with tie-breaker leverage later in the season.
They also faced off in the corresponding week last season as Conference rivals with JD notching a vital 113-107 win, which invaribably COST PB74 his play-off spot (albeit the Mike Ditka Division title). The ND isn't for the faint of hearts. Back in 2012, PB finished with a solid 7-4-1 record but that didn't guarantee a Wildcard spot either despite PB74 knocking over the 'Neon' Deon Sanders' divisional rival (winner: BeLikeMike) in the season opener!!

With PB74 needing help MNF: he needed to select the winner and hope Moo trips over by picking the loser between the G-Men vs Redskins OR have Island Bomber helping out with picking the loser also. What happened?? 'Skins won 17-16 which didn't help the selection of G-Men for PB74..
And with JD taking in a ONE point advantage from TNF thanx to the Ravens.. wouldn't be surprised if this contest is decided on MNF.

TCOL vs ARKIE:
Head to head: 1-0
Rewind to the ND13 Divisional play-off.. SNF with the Bengals @ Steelers.. Arkie had pulled within three points (81-78) with a six point differential swing riding on the SNF outcome. With the Steelers faint play-off hopes flickering on the line in Week 15, Arkie pinned much of his 5CR hope on the Division leading Bengals to sweep the series whereas TCol anchored his vital 1CR on the Steel City. What Happened? Steelers prevailed 30-20.. meaning Arkie's MNF 11CR required a differential selection of TCol's 9CR Lions pick over the Ravens. Arkie pressed for the Lions = game over!! Damning result: Ravens won 18-16. TCol WINS 82-78.

With four of the six Aaron Rodgers Division already notching a Week 1 victory : this result means so much on so many levels. Arkie needs to overturn the nine point TNF setback to overrun his latest nemesis. TCol being amongst the higher CR with 8 on the Ravens.

QUIN STICK vs MOO:
Head to head: 1-0
The 14 game (record) ND winning streak ended with sloppy opportunity gone begging for the reigning ND champ, quin_stick , as the Chargers couldn't manage two measly yards midfield to keep the likely game winning drive alive as crowman_23 squeezed out a thrilling 94-93 win… one for the ages in ND BlockBuster opening match up classics. Ironically, it was also the ND08 and CR10 Champion, who suffered in identical circumstances thanx to the Chargers unable to sustain the drive on 4th & 2. Moo dropping it in heartbreaking fashion in a one point loss to matt_897 (91-90).

The tactical nous of ND champs will tested again as they re-draw after out-witting each other. Already Quin Stick getting roped in with a 9CR loss vs Moo's 8CR play on his dysfunctional Steelers. This one screams NAILBITER.. in one of the most highly anticipated Conference match ups of the week/ year.
Last season Quin Stick pipped Moo 72-71 in week 6.

SVEN vs GALACTIC:
Head to head: 1-1
Already both getting off to a winning note picking the Ravens for TNF, this WARREN MOON conference match up can easily determine a clutch tie-breaker advantage following their respective Divisional losses last week. Neither can ill-afford to drop two games behind early especially if two or more of their respective Divisional rivals notch up a second victory which makes this contest even more CRUCIAL. Add the spice of their respective clubs going HEAD to head.. just JUICES it up a whole lot more.

CHRIS25 vs NAKEDDEADGUY:
A first meeting that has started with a nil-all draw after TNF. Chris25 has already claimed victory over NDG's nephew (Mr E) in the ND Divisional play-offs of '09 so it'll be interesting if Uncle NDG can get one back. Both claiming convincing 15 point victories in the season opener. This contest certain to have the attention of the rest of the members in the Troy Polamalu & Marshwn Lynch Divisions to see who drops back to 1-1 and who goes 2-0.

SODAPOP vs FUEY:
Head to head: 1-1
The inaugural 3XKO Showdown finalists (2007) meet for the third time as they seek the perfect start. With Fuey currently holding the JJ Watt Divisional lead, the pressure will be on in earnest as he needs to turn around a 7point deficit following Sodapop's smarter 2CR selection of the Ravens on TNF. Expect the brown and gold feathers to fly as both are Hawthorn fans with nothing but success on their minds. Ironically, the Jets play the Pack.

MANUREID vs ALBERTONROB:
Head to head: 2-0 Abertonrob
Two best mates go head to head for their personal derby #3. Already Albertonrob has a 5point advantage going into SNF but don't expect Manureid to take this match up lightly.. with their respective NFL clubs going head to head.. the black hole will get darker for Manureid if he can't pull out a WIN against a friendly foe. Question is whether Albertonrob can turn the screws tight enough with the five point differential advantage to hold out for a series sweep.

MARKLAR33 vs ISLAND BOMBER:
Head to head: 1-0 IB.
The heartbreak of a play-off loss will linger in Marklar33 until he gets that vengeance result back. As the case is between these two foes as Island Bomber took down Marklar_33 back in 2011 by the score of 120-106. They have their beloved teams (Vikes vs Pats) going h2h which will sure to weigh in on the final result as IB already has his nose in front earning a 5point break after TNF.

**********************************************************************
For the record: the Redskins and Jacksonville Jaguars last two meetings have required OT to determine the result. Redskins prevailing on both occassions.

WHO YOU GOT??
**********************************************************************

Special MENTION match up:

First h2h match up in ND

Already flexing their tipping prowess with the Ravens with Marcuz 1point the better.

 

[fuey]

Well I hope SodaPop has loaded up on the jets as I have the pack. Would make it even more interesting!

 

[Woodson]

Well I hope SodaPop has loaded up on the jets as I have the pack. Would make it even more interesting!

What's interesting tho' is that the J-E-T-S have won on their last two visits to Lambeau. Who knows how high tight Sodapop twists the lid on this match up as he didn't take neither Seattle & Jets with double digits last week.

 

[iluvparis]

I see 3 picks from you.

When you say they aren't saving, is nothing showing after refreshing?

Yeah - they would appear to save when I clicekd on them - but when I went to another part of the site and came back to the Temptation page they werent there.

 

[Galactic]

Is it too late to change picks now? Sorry Im probably missing someting obvious, did the times change this year for changes before the games?

 

[Galactic]

Is anyone awake?

 

[JeffDunne]

Are your games showing as locked?

 

[Galactic]

Are your games showing as locked?

Yeah JD it locked, cheers

 

[JeffDunne]

Yeah JD it locked, cheers

Just PM me any changes, I'll see what the problem is.

 

[Galactic]

Fixed, thanks JD

 

[Moo]

Is anyone awake?

Not the teams I picked FFS

 

[exe ex machina]

What a wacko week. Said to Blacky there'd be a bunch of shock upsets, maybe browns, cowboys, games people auto overlooked. Week seemed too simple again for the favorites to win.

Madness trying to find any form guide out of the first two weeks

 

[LeverPuller]

Demolished.

 

[Blacky]

I give up

so hard to find a winner
