AE AE17 Launch & Discussion thread

[aussiedude]

this year has just been crazy. yesterday there were 2 teams that won who had QB's that threw for under 100yds and a INT. Jags and Miami.
and then the 5 turnovers from the Rams and missed FG's. same can be said for the Browns.

Amazingly I've already won my ND battle with a whopping 49 points before today's game

Something definitely gave Woodson haha, GOD

Furthermore, during the lead up to Week 5, I soughted a replacement for Kelzi who was supposably someone Grid Warrior didn’t know personally but fwded his email from one of his rookie intake. Yes, I gave the potential new guy a email with my ‘charts and whole she-bang’ that may have totally overwhelmed him.

So, with GW’s blessing, I’m cutting the new ‘still born’ replacement loose and bringing in real people.

Fletcher and Mountain Dew will both get a email from me regards to their ‘last mulligan’ for points being over and another No show means I cut their arses.

Expect an announcement this Thursday about Kelzi’s replacement.

I seriously believe Big Ben may have pitched his own ‘protest’ and thrown the game. Think about this for a second. Playing a team ranked dead last in stopping the run. Yet Ben throws the ball 55 times???

I personally believe #26 is the CANCER in this team. The cry baby b*tch wanted his contract because of his dual WR/RB role but the Steelers said ‘no dice’... franchise tag only. #26 pulls out of pre-season knowing this isn't gonna work to his desired intention because of his ‘injury prone’ ways.
Clearly doesn’t want to get involved in the passing game and has been shunned from the running game for ‘spite’ due to his patience behind the line allowing the opposition crowd the box. Is Haley at fault also? Maybe. The fact that Big Ben is fed up with such BS, (Chicago pre-game debacle) you can fully understand what’s going on.

So why did I put Steelers 14CR? I think last week’s win gave me the impression things were all good again and the Jags running D will be feeling the onslaught.. nup.. we’re stuffed if the forementioned allegations are on the money.

But in saying that, next week is HUGE for Tomlin. He will be IN THE HOT SEAT IMHO if the Steelers get smashed. This upcoming chalkenge is going to define the Steelers season. I highly suggest taking the Chiefs HIGH CR or if you’re like me, taking the Steelers 1CR because the way the season is turning on a knife with crazy results and the fact that KC may already be drinking their own bathwater like many teams tend to do.

Ben being cooked or close to it isn't helping either.

Given this is likely Smith's last season in KC I wonder if we'd consider throwing some coin in that direction to bridge the next few years for the Steelers until a decent prospect comes along. (I'm fairly certain Ben's replacement is not on our roster)

At least you're getting a QB who is competent, mobile, and not prone to 5 pick games or melting down at poor times.

For the week go bears
For the season go Vikings

The conflict is strong in me

3XKO UPDATE - WEEK 5

Total carnage again and it is all down to one team, no prizes for guessing the Steelers have destroyed the hopes of all and sundry in 3XKO this season. Not hard to see there are some underlying issues going on there but that doesn't help the 30 people who were eliminated this week alone because of them. Too many names to mention but the 3 people (American Crow, Danielz_23 and Marklar) who lost 2 lives this week and are now eliminated would be wondering how that could happen.

Steelers - 30 strikes this week
Giants - 1 strike
Lions - 1 strike
Cowboys - 1 strike
Raiders - 3 strikes

Overall :

Eliminated - 57
0 Strikes - Nil
1 Strike - Nil
2 Strikes - 17

Thus only 17 people left in the competition, all have only 1 life left.

Hmmmm 3XKO mark 2 for second half of the season anyone .....

Good Luck to the remaining 17.

I thought you had edited your response to that lol

Ok, I got your comment now

Initially I thought you were taking a shot at me saying I was shit and only said that to survive. Saw I was right at the top, so changed it to not be trolling me.

Now I realise you were taking a shot at yourself haha,

Sorry for the confusion.

A win over PB74. Whilst it might not have been a major line-up for the comp and him, it was for me.

Always use him as my guide stick. He beat me to double crown when I thought I was gonna get it the year before. Always around top 10.

Might not have been high scoring, but a very sweet victory.

3XKO CARNAGE: The defending champ, TheGreatBarryB is OUT as more big scalps are eliminated following the Steelers inept performance against their bogie nemesis, the Jaguars. The Jaguars have proven to be the spoilers once again following their week 3 London lash out on the Ravens who copped a minor sting of eight. Of the 33 emphatic strikes, 25 have have been eliminated including AE big wigs, Sven , Superfreak, former 3XKO champs, Island Bomber and ShinyOnTop and the 2015 Double Crown champ, Nobbyiscool. The AE commish shaking his head in displeasure. BeLikeMike waving black flags this morning also.

Price you pay backing Pittspuke and those rag waving fans of theirs.

 

[AmericanCrow]

Too true. There's not enough 1CRs to go around each week, especially this season.

I need a tie this week--I want to go to 2-2-2

Well done mate... Was a train wreck of a week and dipped about 15 places overall. Was never going to flip to the Bears on MNF to try and sneak a ND win as overall CR is too important for me. Congrats

 

[Woodson]

This year is just impossible and while others have been hard to this season is Nostradamus type stuff!

This season SCREAMS out Bradbury out again... meanwhile the likes of Starlin Castro lead the pack with a couple of long shots ‘Billiever and BeinPurplenGreen ’ trying to steal da 2015 3XKO Champ’s thunder.
