That's a good one! I like the Lag's too, it's actually really good.Well, next up is my attempt at a Dale's Pale clone.

I heard that about you. When we play the Bears again? We're Cutlers kryptonite.I hate the Packers
I know right. One of many "issues" with the young man. I decided to tear that day out of my calendar, so I'm not sure. Good job rebounding from last week, huh.I heard that about you. When we play the Bears again? We're Cutlers kryptonite.
I relinquish NOTHING!!!!! btw... thanks for the Viks win last week. Kept me alive in the survivor pool I'm in.No points for you. Unless you relinquish that Seattle "win".![]()
Nice, now having a black ipa I have let sit for a year plus. It's really good, but I am pretty hammered.That's a good one! I like the Lag's too, it's actually really good.![]()
Did you see Sherman's tweet he put out after the game.ChshreCat said:lol, I hate to tattle on my own team, but jocks in general make for some good laughs when they try to talk... this is Richard Sherman after the game today...
"People, they don't look at the film. They don't analyze anything. That's why these analysts and commentators need to shut their mouth."
lol
If your system can consistently go 1 for 13, you'll make millions - as long as you remember to bet against it! Maybe that's why nobody's gotten a good system down yet - they're trying to pick the winners, when you've had the genius move of let's pick the losers!A buddy at work and I got to talkin about how cool it would be if you could create a system to bet on football and win with some regularity. That got me to thinking about my previous attempts to "beat the house".. none of which were decisive enough to actually get me to go forward (my best system, analyzed back 4 years, only came to 67% win-rate... and honestly, I thought you could get wiped out in a bad year with that system.. it was dicey). Nevertheless, my job is boring and gives me ample time to sit and doodle and ponder. I came up with a couple interesting ideas for systems, and then indulged my spreadsheet-loving OCD side for a few evenings. Wanna know the result?
I am 1 win and 12 losses against the spread this week. Ha! I misinterpreted my data and flipped the results! Oops....
Still, my buddy is getting excited. I'm more cautious. This has to be a fluke. Nevertheless, I'll be running through the same numbers next week, just for kicks. We aren't betting... just seeing if a workable system can get much above 70% accuracy.
The one game I picked correct? The one which I would have lost if I had done my system right? New England vs Seattle.
And sure, I'll post my selections for next week.. just for kicks. I'll probably put them up wednesday night, but since it's math/calculation based, I don't particularly care if I post them on friday. My system is more important than proving it to people... so it depends on how busy I get with my Tuesday through thursday girlfriend. I'm not saying I have a winning system... I don't know enough yet. And I haven't even taken injuries into account in the system yet (which has driven my football-obsessed buddy insane). But it's an auspicious beginning to my mega spreadsheet from hell indulgence!
Yes, I was once a tax attorney who dremt of being an accountant. LOL

Haha pretty much! Actually, I just mixed up my pluses and minuses. Pluses are overrateds, not outperformers. Minuses are underrateds, not busts.. as I mistakenly was thinking as I threw my predictions together. The math is consistent though.If your system can consistently go 1 for 13, you'll make millions - as long as you remember to bet against it!

You are just the worst...Never willing to give credit where it's due. Overhyped defense and overhyped Lynch such nonsense. Defense gave up yards (the one stat you seem to love) but not many points and made the big stops. Thats what TOP defenses do. As far as Lynch, he only got the rock 15 times because ROY candidate Russell Wilson was carving up your secondary.LOL!! "Well.... Brady only threw for nine yards between 6 minutes left in the third and 2 and a half minutes left in the third"!! HAHA!!
They hung 475 yards on them. "Beastmode" ran for a freakin' whopping 41 yards. OVER-HYPED.
Hey.. Seattle won... deserved to win. All the Pats needed was a FG in the 4th to put the game out of reach and they couldn't do it. All they needed to do was knock down one of the 8 Hail Marys... couldn't do it.
That sucks for the birds. Wow one game could change the whole look of their D.NordeastBrewer77 said:Couple defensive injuries for the Crows. Webb's done for the year, Lewis may be (which Adam Schecter says may be the end). Hope our dinosaur middle backer doesn't get hurt.
Oh, and WTF is Vilma trying to prove? Dude needs to be a big boy about this and take the inevitable. #norespectforthegame
Yeh. Tough losses for sure. I'm thinkin' of years/stretches where we lost Urlacher and Tillman together, hard to recover from that.That sucks for the birds. Wow one game could change the whole look of their D.
Didn't Ngata get dinged too?Couple defensive injuries for the Crows. Webb's done for the year, Lewis may be (which Adam Schecter says may be the end). Hope our dinosaur middle backer doesn't get hurt.
you even reposted it when you quoted me... "Hey.. Seattle won... deserved to win". Did you miss that?? Are your goggles a little dirty still and you're having trouble seeing??You are just the worst...Never willing to give credit where it's due.

Dunno, didn't watch. SC had a bit about Webb and Lewis. If Ngata is hurt too, ouch.Didn't Ngata get dinged too?
1st place patriots? Don't you mean Jets?So wait, the AFC East teams are all 3-3? First place patriots at .500? Hahahaha.
Yeah, they are saying sprained MCL for ngata. That D is ****ed. Nothing offical about Ray yet, but the ACL for webb was confirmed. I feel bad for the guy. Tore the other one his rookie year and finally made his way back to form last year to only do it again.Dunno, didn't watch. SC had a bit about Webb and Lewis. If Ngata is hurt too, ouch.
Good win last night man, I don't think anyone outside Seattle (and Terry Bradshaw) saw that coming.
Well... if he IS hurt, Medicare will pick up a large chunk of the medical expenses. Which is nice.Nothing offical about Ray yet
Yeah, watching SC at lunch now. Ngata did limp off, and Lewis has an MRI today. Sucks for Webb, I thought I remember his knee gong before, and this is not the same one? Ouch. And yeah, that D is screwed, 'specially if Lewis' injury keeps him out long.Yeah, they are saying sprained MCL for ngata. That D is ****ed.

Oh no you di'int!Well... if he IS hurt, Medicare will pick up a large chunk of the medical expenses. Which is nice.
haha... nah, I almost feel guilty now... another Ray Lewis age joke??? They're getting almost as old as Ray at this point.Oh no you di'int!![]()
I know. SC is running a thing on Ray and Jeter, together, because they're hurt. And are old.haha... nah, I almost feel guilty now... another Ray Lewis age joke??? They're getting almost as old as Ray at this point.
haha.haha... nah, I almost feel guilty now... another Ray Lewis age joke??? They're getting almost as old as Ray at this point.
Now, I know you don't mean that....haha.
*******.
That seems to be the general consensus. Would they bring him back after a season ender? Honestly, it'd be sad. I think the man deserves a much better last game than yesterday. I'd like to see him play again.Joking aside, if he really did tear a tri.... ya figured that's a career Dataz? Being serious and not busting your chops. I am assuming he would be done for the season and do you think he comes back next year?
I would assume it would be, but with him, who the hell knows. It would kill him to go out like that on an injury, but he has also said that he wouldn't be one of those guys that hangs around way too long and would hang it up when it was time. If I had to bet, I would say he comes back next year. Don't know if that would be the right choice or not though.Now, I know you don't mean that....

I joke about him constantly but this Cowboys game.... it just seemed like it was a hint. The Cowboys game plan was basically, "Let's run right up the middle... and if we can run AT Ray... even better". And it was working.I would assume it would be, but with him, who the hell knows.

Yeah, he lost all that weight so his pass coverage could be more than a bear hug this year. And it helped. He is a ton quicker, but he isn't able to get off blocks like he used to. It didn't hurt them that they had him double teamed most of the time too.I joke about him constantly but this Cowboys game.... it just seemed like it was a hint.

The guy is obviously going into the HOF but he ain't the same Ray Lewis he was when he shot that guy.
