josie/everybody - I try to send reminders to those that have not made their picks but some times I forget. In the pool there is a way to set an email reminder - click on options at the top of the page - then alerts then on right hand set notifications to yes and click pick reminder. I use it. It is better then stapling a post-it to my forehead.


Tonight is MNF Eagles-Giants. There have been many great games between them as we know. The eagles have had their share of crazy games against the Giants with the Miracles at the Meadowlands and last years Black Sunday when the eagles wore their all Black uniforms and defeated the Giants 27-0. The Eagles will wear all black again tonight - will it be Black Monday for the Eagles or Giants?

Eli as Coughlin said recently keeps getting better. Bradford just had the best game of his career against the Saints. Should be a great game tonight!

2015 week 6 results

Last nights Eagles game with the Giants first drive where they moved down field easily and scored a TD it looked like it was gonna be Black Monday for the Eagles. After that TD the Eagles defense woke up, got a pick 6 and the Giants never scored again. Eagles won 27-7

Might be a good thing the Eagles only have Sam Bradford under contract for this year. He has 9 TD's and 9 interceptions in 6 games 4 of them in the end zone!

Next up for the Eagles are the Panthers

Week 6 Nghi won the 9 pick 5 way tie for 1st with a TS of 40. Mike got 2nd, uufta got 3rd. Nobody got CT/TS. Congrats to ya!

Just like it says "history", has nothing to do with the present. Newton is playing awesome.

The Eagle O line looks like it is starting to jell after the new players on the line and the injuries healed. Pass protection has been good and Murray got his 1st 100 yd game last week against the Giants.

Special team play has been good.
The D line has been awesome lately. They have not allowed a 100 yd rusher in the last 16 games. Pressure on Newton this game could be the key to winning the game.

Should be a good game and I like the Eagles in this game.

Wow the Panthers surprise me in this game! I had the Eagles all the way and the Panthers defense just made that Eagles offense look non existent! That's why the NFL is one of the best sport out here! We just don't know what we're going to get from week to week. And all those drop balls didn't help any at all. I just checked out the spreadsheet and for the first time since you started using it now I realized how the winners and the points are put up. Duh! I thought we were still playing the old way by correct picks. Well I guess we have to do at least 10 11 12 correct picks right every week to get up there in the top three.Well at least the Patriots looked human this week and the Jets gave him a real good run for the money! Hopefully someone will bring them down by the end of season if not we looking at another undefeated season by the Patriots!

[jm1647]

....
Here comes Josie we all better watch out now

josie missed 4 TNF picks that coulda tied her for wining the week with a shot of winning the weeks with the tie breaker.


Had a typo in the pool spreadsheet top right header on the page. I had 33 for 1st place in pick points at the end of the regular season.

In the body of the spreadsheet it had 34 (which it should be). I expanded the point explanation to read Total points is 17 X 96 =1632 + 34 for 1st + 20.40 for 2nd + 13.60 for 3rd in pick points =1700 (10x10x17) – 1 for any missed weeks and + 5 for any CT/TS winners.

reminder TNF this week get them picks in!! Good Luck to all! :

Eagles revamped O line did it this time! Won the game in OT!

His is great and even as a rookie was calling plays for the D
