Past Selections
Notes/Stat Leaders
-Our overall leader is Joel Kretzinger with a PER of . Joel was honeymooning in Europe during the first three weeks of the season and gave me his picks before he left. How does it make you feel to know that I guy who didn't get to watch a down is beating us all down?
-I am no mathematician, and I don't really even look at the PER equation- just plug the numbers into the program- but it seems to me that yards don't really matter, completion percentage matters a little bit and touchdowns and interceptions mean everything.
-I am in 39th place out of 40 at the moment (thanks for neglecting to make a pick last week Wrightman!). I think that my problem is that the my pick's coaches know how bad they suck, so they call a conservative game plan and run the ball all game. Or they complete tons of short stupid passes that the defenses give them. Like I said, yards don't matter.
-Not watching the games is killing me. For instance, a lot of people had DA for week one and he had a decent (for this game) 85 PER or something. Almost 300 yards, no INTs, but all I heard about was how awful he was. I guess there is something to be said for watching the games live. Also, I have heard that Carson Palmer has already had about a dozen dropped INTs.
-Seneca Wallace burned a lot of people last week (myself included). The numbers looked decent, but there is no way he could have had a good game right?
-If you chose Dixon for week 2 I gave you credit for his performance and that of Charlie Batch. Good for you.
-OK that's enough. Here are statistical leaders if you care:
INTs
Hartley-7
Lussier-7
Kretzinger-6
McClean-6

Looking Ahead- Week 2 and 3
-Thanks to everyone who has sent me picks so far for Week 2. Remember, I am not going to be able to remind everyone next week so please be sure to send in your week 3 picks before the start of the game or you know the punishment- 10/10 200 2TDs 0INTs. Also, I will not be posting the updated scores until after week 3.
-Still waiting on Week 2 picks from the following people:
-Casey Hedrick
-Ryan Sapper
-Basti Fabricious
-Matt Schneider
-Matt McCarrick
-Once we get into this game a little deeper, I will post everyone's past selections to make it easier for you to avoid duplicates. As for now, you're on your own.
-To clarify, if you pick a QB and he doesn't end up starting the game, unless I hear from you otherwise, I will assign you his back-up. You may still use the initial QB you attempted to pick if he starts a game later in the year.
-Vote in the new Reggie Bush poll and please send me poll suggestions as I lose creativity quickly (those of you in my NBA Fantasy League can attest to that).
-Again, so everyone knows I am not cheating, I will reveal my Week 2 pick: Sam Bradford. Yes he's going against the same Oakland D that Vince surgically destroyed, but the rookie had a lot of attempts last game, so I am counting on a ton of incompletions to make up for VY's 14 for 17 last week.
-Which reminds me, at least two of you selected Vince Young for Week 2. I guess you think last week was a fluke. If you are right I will hate you.
-Lots of Shaun Hills so far. No Mike Vicks. Also popular this week: Matt Moore, Trent Edwards (again) and Dennis Dixon. Man there are a lot of bad ones out there. Nexy year, I might make you pick two per week.
-GO DUCKS!

Week 1 Wrap Up
A few thoughts and observations on Week 1.
-I suck. I can't believe I rolled the dice with Vince Young and am just shocked that he busted out a 142.8. In hindsight, he's never been an accurate passer and seems to have a PER of somewhere around 80 on his very best days. The crazy thing is that I am still considering going with Sam Bradford who faces the same defense Vince did, although he'll be on the road. Stupid. I should have gone with Mark Sanchez or Brett Favre just because I hate them.
-Two players chose Matt Moore. Awesome job.
-The Cade McNown Division seems to be the most competative. Click here for the full Week 1 standings.
-Two quarterbacks were knocked out in the first half of Week 1 meaning that their respective back-up's stats came into play. This worked out well for Tommy Murata, who had Matt Stafford, but not so much for David Bolthouse who had Kevin Kolb. Kolb was having a really shitty first half (good in this game) before Clay Matthews bounced his head off the turf like a red rubber four-square ball. You know the sound those things make against cement right? Remember, the rule is that if your QB gets benched or injured in the first half and does not return for the second- you take on the backup's stats. If your QB goes down in the second half, you only get credit for the starter.
-Some of you have inquired about fumbles. I admit that I should have thought of that at first, but I didn't so we are going to ignore them for this year.
-Also, I have received a few suggestions regarding Division names. I kind of like the way they are now, but if you send me one that fits, I may decide to use it.
-Five best picks used in Week 1: Matt Moore (32.6), Jake Delhomme (59.2), Joe Flacco (62.2), Matt Cassel (68.0), Jason Campbell (69.7)
-Five best picks NOT used in Week 1: Alex Smith (52.5), Sam Bradford (53.1), Mark Sanchez (56.4), Donovan McNabb (63.4), Matt Schaub (67.5)
-Idiot picks of Week 1: Vince Young (142.8), Matt Hasselbeck (108.3), Jay Cutler (108.3), Carson Palmer (92.5)
-Former Oregon Duck news: How about P. Chung racking up 16 tackles in his first start for New England? Love it. Also, I didn't get to watch the game, but looking at the numbers, it looked like Haloti dominated once again. I haven't had a favorite NFL team in years (players move around too much), but as long as my all-time favorite Duck lines up for Baltimore, I'll go with the Ravens.
-That's about all for week 1. Please be sure to get your picks in before the games start. I will try and remind you all, but next week I will be on vacation and am not sure if I will have any internet access. The next set of standings will not be posted until after Week 3.

Week 1 Pre-game Notes
A quick rundown of thoughts leading up to week 1:
-As of right now, there are 38 participants. I tried to organize it so that each participant at least knows a few of the others inside their division. I had a nice even 36 with 6 divisions of 6, but 2 a-holes got back to me late and just had to be included. I am punishing them and the rest of the Collier Hall boys be putting them in a super division of 8.
-Trent Edwards was by far the most popular pick for week 1. Nearly one out of every four participants picked Trent. In fact, two participants even picked Trent's back-ups- Brian Brohm and Ryan Fitzpatrick, proving that it doesn't matter who lines up under center for the Bills because they are dogsuck.
I mean Chan Gailey? Are you serious? Didn't anyone in their organization see Hard Knocks Dallas a couple of years back?
-Two participants (Ostrom and Levin) chose Brett Favre who played in the Thursday night game. I was seriously debating this pick. He finished with a mediocre line of 15/27 171 yards a teeder and a pick for a PER of 71.7. Not the best as far as this league is concerned but not bad for rolling the dice.
-Here is the breakdown of picks for week 1:
Trent Edwards (9)
Dennis Dixon (4)
Derek Anderson (4)
Matt Cassel (3)
Joe Flacco (3)
Matt Hasselbeck (3)
Brett Favre (2)
Matt Moore (2)
Vince Young (2)
Jason Campbell (1)
Jay Cutler (1)
Jake Delhomme (1)
Kevin Kolb (1)
Kyle Orton (1)
Carson Palmer (1)
Matt Stafford (1)
-The winner of the last poll question "Which Participant has the Best QB Name?" was Jake McClean. I thought about making the second poll "Who Has the Worst QB Name?" but then Carolanne Wipfli joined and removed all doubt.
The new poll question is "What is the Biggest Roll of the Dice for Week 1?" please be sure to vote. *Note- I just added another poll question: "Who was the biggest omission of Week 1?"
A couple more housekeeping items:
-I am really worried about people not getting me their picks for a week or skipping weeks. As I said before, the punishment will be a 10 for 10, 200 yard 3TD 0INT line.
-Also if you choose a QB and he ends up not starting, unless I hear different from you beforehand, I will assign you his back-up
-Lastly, if your QB is knocked out or benched during the first half, you will take on the stats of the back-up for the rest of the game. If he is knocked out or benched in the 2nd half, I will only take the selected QB's stats. Got it?
Sorry if you don't like that rule, but chances are your guy's replacement is gonna be crap too so it shouldn't hurt.

-The two conference winners will have byes for the first 2 rounds of the playoffs. The other 3 division winners in each conference have one bye (see previous post for division placements)
-Before the start of the first week of the playoffs, each person will rank all of the current starting QBs (#1 is the shittiest, or person you would like most. #32 is Peyton Manning- someone like him. Got it?). If you do not submit a list, you will forfeit your position and your QB will be chosen based on my list (basic order of NFL QB PER) which will take into account the order of all participants who also failed to send in a list and QBs already taken.
-I will assign you your QB for each round of the playoffs (remember this is our play-offs not the NFLs. It will still be during their regular season) based on the list you provide. The person with the best score during the regular season gets first choice, the next best record goes after and so on and so forth.
-Your regular score will be determined by your accumulated Passing Efficiency Rating
-For the first round of the playoffs, the six teams with the lowest scores from each conference advance
-For the second round of the playoffs, the top 3 teams advance
-For the third round of the playoffs, only the conference winner advances
-The two conference champs will face-off in the "Toilet Bowl"
I hope this doesn't sound too confusing for everyone. If you have any questions, let me know.
Basically, just worry about sending me your picks each week. If you are gonna be on vacation or something, be sure to send me your picks for the weeks that you are going to miss also. I need to think of a penalty for not sending in your picks. Right now I am thinking of a 10 for 10, 200 yards, 2TDs and no interceptions line to sub for the week you miss. Sound good?

Housekeeping
There will be two categories to compete in. The first is interceptions. Pretty straight forward there. The person with the most by the end of the year wins.
The second is passer efficiency rating. I think that I might be able to keep a cumulative tally of each player's PER by using this Web site PER Efficiency Web site. This way, the numbers won't be skewed for a QB who gets knocked out going 0 for 1 with a pick.
If it gets too complicated, I will just award points for the lowest PER each week (if there are 25 players, lowest PER gets 25 points, highest gets 1).
So all I really need is for you participants to give me the name of your QB each week. Remember, this is a suicide pool so after you use a QB, he is dead to you- you cannot use him again for the remainder of the season. You can always make your picks on Facebook, or if you don't want anyone else to see your selection, e-mail me at joe.boyd82@gmail.com
I will try to post a list of people who have and haven't sent me picks each week along with the updated scores. I shouldn't have a problem getting scores up very late Sunday night/Monday morning and then again late Monday night/early Tuesday morning if the Monday nighter is applicable. Also remember that because of the time difference here in Korea, my hours of operation are a little different. So if I don't get back to you right away, I am probably in bed.
As for a prize. I started this too late to take a cash pool, plus I am out of the country, plus I figured fewer people would join if they had to ante. So, for this first year let's see how it goes and only play for bragging rights. Maybe whoever wins the league gets to use one QB for 2 or 3 weeks next year. Or maybe I will find a sweet Heath Schuler jersey on e-bay for the winner.
I think that is it for now. Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks for playing!

Welcome!
My old college buddies and I love to play "Guess the Line" with our quarterbacks before a big game. Most of the time, we try and be realistic- Kellen is gonna go 24 for 32 with 268 yards 3TDs and a pick, or Dennis will be 12 for 21 with 183 yards, 60 yards rushing and 3 total TDs.
In 2004, we had tickets to the Civil War in Corvalis. When asked to "Guess the Line," I tried a reverse jinx and said Kellen was going to go 11 for 29 with 119 yards 0TDs and 5INTs. Didn't work- he really did suck! 13 for 29 for 126 and 3 picks and we lost 50-21 (to prove to you what a surreal and disheartening experience that was, even Derek Anderson only threw ONE pick, which is like a zero for him).
Anyway, from that experience I learned that I was much better at predicting how crappy of a day a QB was going to have. Plus, it seems like there is a lot less pressure to pick a loser. I thought: Why not honor the D.A.'s, the Delhommes, the JaMarcus Russells, the Rex Grossmans and whoever the dude is who is starting for Tampa?
So here it is, and I hope more people join my crappy QB suicide pool experiment than just me. Otherwise that would be embarrassing. Almost as embarrassing as losing your job to D.A.
To make your weekly picks, you can either e-mail me at joe.boyd82@gmail.com, post a comment below on this or any other future post, or hit me up on facebook.
I will update the scores each week. May the worst man win.
