Unfortunately. :/ I guess the "whoever plays the jets" strategy didn't work out too well.
Ah well more time for fantasy domination!
What happened? Not on here but twitter is freaking out. They kicked a FG 20 sec after TB did???
HUGE penalty against the Bucs for pushing the QB out got them to field goal range.
Smith ran to sidelines and he was shoved after he was out of bounds. 15 yards and FG position. Folk for the win!

Wow. Just wow. Finally saw the play. Unbelievably Stupid. He had no business shoving Geno on the sidelines, especially at that point in the game. That'll have implications for TB all season. Dumb.
**** me. First week and I'm out. Earliest I've ever been out.
Just because you lost one doesn't mean you're out. There's more games and more teams to pick.
Wow, those of us who picked the "sure thing" Colts almost got upset as well. Crazy first day in the NFL.
Oh. Really ?
Wow. I better remember that DO'H.
Not true. From the rules :
Elimination Factor
You must select which team you believe will be the winner. If you are correct, you will advance to the next week's game. If you are incorrect, it will greatly decrease your chances of competing for the grand prize or second place prize (unless there are no other perfect entries present at the end of the promotion). You may not pick the same team to win twice during the season, and the game will continue each week until the end of the season.
So its possible to pick a team, lose and continue on. You just need to hope others lose too.
I believe that's the cutthroat part.

Me too. That's what cut throat aka eliminator means. Guess the times I've played I have been different.
The cutthroat part is making sure you don't pick a Super Bowl team early on. If you do you are essentially out of the running.
It doesn't really matter, you have to just pick the team you think is better on a given week. I am going by match ups and picking between the better team each week.
I wouldn't pick too many playoff teams too early . You won't be able to pick them later in the year.
Does it really matter. Every week one team will win, you can't pick great teams each week.
Yeah, there's no gimmes in the NFL. You gotta pick the team you think is a lock to win each week out of your remaining teams. I wouldn't get cute with your pics until there's really no other option. Least, that's how I'm
