NFL Playoffs 2016-17 SDL League

I haven't seen the post game stuff yet, but he was at fault for a couple of things yeah. He wasn't alone in the bonehead penalties and fairly regulation drops though.

The Chiefs are limited but they're always excellent at what they do, so it was surprising how undisciplined they were. Even so, they still almost won so I'm sure it's going to be a long off season reflecting.

His rant will earn him a hefty fine from Park Avenue...ref #51 should never call a game again, refs taking the game into their own hands, calling a hold when Harrison just fell down, ref shouldn't be able to work even at Foot Locker...

Fine sounds warranted then! I wanted the Chiefs to win, but the refs certainly weren't the reason why they didn't. I think the refs were pretty poor in general this weekend though, although maybe you could say a lot of the no calls were in favour of just letting them play. It is the playoffs afterall, last thing you want to see is the ref after every play.

When a WR's shoulder pad "magically" pops out of his jersey during a pass pattern, I want to see a yellow hankie.

What about the rest they missed that game...

The cup did runneth over. Let's hope the last three games aren't overseen by underseeing zebras.

So, forgive me if this is a stupid question, but what happens if 2 teams I've already picked make the SB? @stringertom

That is referred to as NPA...no pick available and you're SOL.

Gotcha.

Fixed...I typed Topspin's Div week and point result twice...you guys are tied. Sorry.

I'm in a bit of a bind now. Going into this weekend I was thinking whoever won the KC/PIT game was going to win the bowl and was going to save them for the bowl pick if I got the NFC title game correct (which I was expecting Dallas)

This GB-ATL game I really don't want no part of it. GB has no business even being in the playoffs they are so bad as team. But A. Rodgers is on such a high level right now who know WTF is gonna happen.

Although I am pretty confident PIT will beat NE and make it to the bowl, I don't want to waste what I think will be the SB champ.
So since I don't like GB or ATL chances in the bowl I guess I have to take a shot on that game.

Since GB defense is terrible and Matt Ryan and Julio are better than DAK and Bryant I gotta say that ATL will score enough to not get discount double checked to an early vacation.

ATL by 6 44-38

 

[Topspin Shot]

That is referred to as NPA...no pick available and you're SOL.

Then I should drop out now. I already took Pitt and NE so I have to pick the NFC championship. If I get it wrong I'm out, and if I get it right I can't make a SB pick.

 

[Big_Dangerous]

Gotta roll with the only predatory avian team left - The Falcons by 4!

Why not try to just advance as far as possible?

There's a chance all will bomb out or face the same NPA dilemma and you have the lowest point deviation so far...pick the NFC game, you may win the pool if you're right and your aggregate deviation is lowest. Also, give a total points number for the game to use as a TB.

 

[stringertom]

I'm gonna trust Mr. Rodgers' Neighborhood remains the most relaxed place on earth and I'm not left with NPA status:

New England by 7.

 

[Topspin Shot]

Atlanta by 7.

Total points 49...I'm faced with a possible NPA; if you are faced with a possible NPA remember to do a total point count prediction in your game.

 

[stringertom]

Atlanta by 7.

Include a total points prediction for potential TB purpose. Thanks!

82 points will be used as your prediction for potential TB purposes.

Atlanta by 13

I need a total points prediction for potential TB purposes. Also let @oztennisfan know he did not make a pick after I corrected my regrettable mistake about ATL/NE in Divisional Round. He will need to predict total point count too.

Thanks!

Did you share that cold with Milosh? Apparently he's under the weather too.

Feel better!
