Dutch Oven Posted February 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 11. AFC Champ? Flyin J: New England Dutch Oven: New England jcam222: New England Bob806: Oakland PoeticG: Cleveland Coyote: New England mjp28: Oakland The Gipper: Oakland gumby73: New England Tour2ma: New England Mudfly: Oakland Answer: For the 9th time since the 2001 season, the New England Patriots will represent the AFC in the Super Bowl. To get there, they cruised by the Tennessee Titans in the divisional playoff game, 35-14, then came from behind to defeat the upstart Jacksonville Jaguars 24-20. Winner Winner Chicken Dinner: Picking the Patriots to win the AFC title isn't very difficult, it's akin to selecting Alabama to win the college title. A smart choice, but not very exciting. Well, here's to being steady and boring: Flyin J, Dutch, jcam222, Coyote, gumby73, and Tour. You have to wonder how much this dynasty has left in the ol' proverbial gas tank. And the 'Big Dummy Award' goes to... But when you absolutely can't bring yourself to pick the Patriots, and being a Browns fan doesn't allow you to select the Steelers (the somewhat obvious #2 pick), you look for an upcoming, young team with potential: the Oakland Raiders! A bold pick, I liked the thought behind it. Unfortunately for Bob806, mjp28, The Gipper, and Mudfly, the Raiders struggled mightily and went 6-10. But alas, all is not lost four that were just mentioned - there's Super Homer PoG to save the day with his asinine Browns pick! HOORAY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Oven Posted February 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 12. NFC Champ? Flyin J: Dallas Dutch Oven: Green Bay jcam222: Atlanta Bob806: Green Bay PoeticG: Dallas Coyote: Green Bay mjp28: Green Bay The Gipper: Seattle gumby73: Seattle Tour2ma: Seattle Mudfly: Seattle Answer: The Philadelphia Eagles, who suffered a season-ending injury to QB Carson Wentz at the end of the regular season, rallied around backup Nick Foles and defeated Atlanta (15-10) and Minnesota (38-7) to advance to their third Super Bowl. Winner Winner Chicken Dinner: I recall struggling trying to figure out who to select, it really felt wide open going into the season, and when 10 of 11 of us select teams that didn't even make the playoffs, it turned out to be prophetic. No one selected the Eagles, so no tasty treat can be handed out. And the 'Big Dummy Award' goes to... Seattle and Dallas were selected by six of us, both teams went 9-7 but didn't qualify for the playoffs. Four of us chose Green Bay, whose season was torpedoed by Aaron Rodger's injury, causing them to fall to 7-9, saddling Dutch, Bob806, Coyote and mjp with immeasurable painful shame.

mjp28 Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 And thanks to the steelrz for ending the season on an inglorious but still stupid note, too bad NE didn't follow suit -but- it does give us all someone to watch and root against or else it would be a boring party with lots of fat food. NFC, eh I guess I can live with Philly over, hmmmmm, nobody? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch Oven Posted February 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 13. Super Bowl Champ? Flyin J: New England Dutch Oven: New England jcam222: Atlanta Bob806: Green Bay PoeticG: Cleveland Coyote: New England mjp28: Green Bay The Gipper: Seattle gumby73: New England Tour2ma: New England Mudfly: Oakland Answer: The Philadelphia Eagles defeated the New England Patriots 41-33 to win their first Super Bowl in franchise history, and first NFL title since they won back-to-back in 1948-49. Winner Winner Chicken Dinner: No one predicted an Eagles NFC Title, so obviously no winner here either. And the 'Big Dummy Award' goes to... Kevin Hogan's secret lover, of course.

Dutch Oven Posted February 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 Thanks to everyone who participated! I was throwing around the idea of doing a draft version of this, I'd love some input on questions for it - I've never done a Dutch's Questions for the Draft.

I tried to put up questions that can be answered objectively, I thought about asking for ugly shoes or surprises, but that kind of stuff might be hard to answer and to judge who won.

jcam222 Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 How many times new do we trade up? How many times do we trade down? How many draft picks start over 12 games in 2018 season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjp28 Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 Correct pick 1 point. Correct trade up or traded picks 2 points? Grades for maybe R1, R2, R3? Something like that. Incorrect pick 0 points Most points win. We certainly have time to put it together before the "THREE DAYS IN APRIL!" tournament.......reminds me the March Madness Tournament is coming up, defending champion mjp28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nero offered some good ideas for late and overall. I'd focus on Round 1. First player selected at each position. Total number taken at a given generic position in Round one, i.e., DB, LB, DL, OL, TE, WR, RB & QB. Positions other than K, P & LS not taken in Rnd 1.

mjp28 Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 I've got some ideas that might be workable: - METHOD 1 - correct position + correct player + correct team = 1 or 3 points, any incorrect = 0 points, round 1, maybe round 2? - METHOD 2 - correct position + player + team = 3 points (easier in the top of round 1, gets harder going down) correct position +player = 1 or 2 points? correct player + team = 2 points (trades, etc. might move positions ) predict a correct trade 5 points (parameters uncertain there) all incorrect = 0 points ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Eh? Not bad for 4 am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
