It's not as if Deadskins is running a business here. Jeeze.

Sorry, bro. If I could ask this all with audio you'd hear my tone and probably not call it nit picking. Anyway, I gotta tell ya, inspite of my loss, I've enjoyed this.

Deadskins' format for this is diff from any other I've seen. When I tell others about it they usually have some sort of "objection" but none of them ever has a better idea. Also, this game is on the site, not being run by CBS or Yahoo! or ESPN. It FEELS better.

Thanks, Deadman.

What? Does that mean I'm not going to collect a pension when I retire? Don't tell my wife, she was counting on it.

See? All it took ws a bit of reflection and clarification.

Good luck to all.

You are one game behind so far but you might win the second. If Pats win, ACW and you go down to points for the tie break. Interesting.

I could be a Richard and take NE and ATL, guaranteeing I wouldn't need a point total, but nah, I think we'll be seeing a Harbowl.

Good job. You called it: Harbowl. Closest pick on points too. :shock:

See you in the next round: SB. :twisted:

Well, I feel like the Falcons got robbed, but ACW would have won on points anyways. The Patsies missed way too many opportunities. Congratulations, ACW. And congratulations to Ric, too. See y'all in the Hognosti-Bowl VIII thread.

Only 3 off on points :shock:

Had BAL winning 21-20 though :lol:

Robbed or not, ATL defense CHOKED. Maybe it could've been called PI on that 4th down, but still, inexcusable.

It wasn't PI, but it was defensive holding. Still after they got up 17-0, the Falcons only scored 7 more points the rest of the game. I blame the offense more than the defense. They definitely did it to themselves. I hate it when there are two teams I dislike in the SB.

I don't dislike either BAL or SF. Just glad it's not SEA, PIT, or a divisional rival. Or the Jets.
