Been a while.

[RedMonqey]

True that.

[Bender2]

While I am more than happy that my Cowboys won, I must say I am dumbfounded that the coin flip could be so F-ed Up!

How hard is it to open your mouth and allow "We defer." to come out?

That is what teams do nowadays. Yet the quarterback of my Boys act as if he never ever had that choice given to him before!

Gadzooks, I am getting old but stupid is still as stupid does--

[L,TOWM]

Officiating has taken a dump across the league...

How tough is it as a ref to make certain you got the whole defer / receive thing figured out before you tell the captains to shake hands?

[big'ol_freeper]

I would like to thank your Cowboys for clinching a playoff birth for my Packer boys.

[al_c]

You’re welcome.

[Impy]

I probably made several errors (let me know!) but this is what I have, with old Bender coming out on top!

[Jim W N]

Your sort may have factored in “GP” which mine did not, possibly making your original more accurate.

[Bender2]

Well, then by your and Jim W N's "stats" if I picked one game and got it correct and did not ever make another pick, I'd be the winner of the whole shebang--

Or some other manure as such.

It is the most correct picks of games played and those that play all the games each and every week are the "stats" that count in the final accounting!

Other than that is nothing but opinion... and we are seeing just what"nothing but opinion" counts for in today's headlines of the mainstream media.

[Jim W N]

I saw that also - I didn’t take into account # of games played.

Dunno how to incorporate number of games into %.

[Jim W N]

...but glad to see someone’s paying attention...

[ro_dreaming]

I’m in 12th... hopefully with 2 weeks to go, I can sneak into the top 10...
