Right now, we're leaving out the arguing part and I don't see the interest if we're going to do that.

I think we should make a separate thread for each match up and have each manager say their piece on how they plan on overcoming any perceived weaknesses and exploiting strengths.

Quote:

AFC

Buffalo Bills-3, 6, 1, 6, 3, 6, 4, 7, 6, 6, 7=55 points
San Diego Chargers-2, 3, 7, 3, 4, 7, 5, 5, 7, 2, 5=50 points
Green Bay Packers-4, 4, 4, 5, 7, 2, 6, 6, 5, 4, 2=49 points
Edmonton Eskimos-5, 5, 3, 2, 5, 3, 7, 3, 2, 3, 3=41 points
Boston Patriots-1, 2, 6, 4, 2, 5, 3, 4, 3, 5, 6=41 points
Guns of Hoculi-7, 1, 5, 7, 1, 4, 2, 2, 1, 7, 1=38 points
Baltimore Colts-6, 7, 2, 1, 6, 1, 1, 1, 4, 1, 4=34 points

NFC

Philadelphia Eagles-7, 6, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 4, 6, 5=60 points
Memphis Showboats-5, 3, 7, 7, 6, 1, 7, 5, 3, 4, 7=55 points
San Francisco 49ers-2, 7, 6, 3, 3, 7, 1, 3, 7, 5, 6=50 points
Dallas Cowboys-4, 5, 3, 6, 7, 3, 5, 7, 5, 3, 2=50 points
Deadwood Gunslingers-6, 2, 5, 4, 4, 2, 4, 4, 6, 7, 1=45 points
Cleveland Browns-3, 4, 1, 2, 1, 4, 3, 1, 1, 2, 3=25 points
Pittsburgh Maulers-1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 5, 2, 2, 2, 1, 4=23 points

Got both ends of the spectrum, very low and very high. This should be a good one to break down.

Wow, I thought my team was fairly balanced, but I must say I am surprised to get home field advantage in the AFC. There are a lot of really good teams in both conferences

This is how we did it last year. That's really the best part--having the GM's argue why they would win the H2H matchup, and neutral observers dissecting it, etc.

Each thread made for respective match ups, may not be as fancy of a set up like the baseball ATD but it'll have to suffice

.

Posted each lineup as they appear in the roster thread, bolded certain parts like offense, defense etc. for anyone who had added it for clarity sake.

Had to use some guessing to project the lineups for both Cleveland and Pittsburgh, yet I think it should be enough for everyone to have a handle on how each team looks.

What should be the deadline for each managers argument to be posted and the votes tabulated?

A reminder for everyone to get their write ups done as soon as possible and get their votes into BiLLY subsequently.

Any volunteers for first round write ups? I'd be interested on how each match up turns out and style that these write ups are done.

GKJ · 12-15-2009, 10:05 PM

When are they due by? because I gotta fit that into my brain somehow.

BillyShoe1721 · 12-17-2009, 09:39 PM

I've got 7 sets of votes so far. Only one of the games is close (4-3). All the others have a majority winner. If one more person votes for the team with 4 we'll move on, if someone votes for the one with 3, we'll continue.

GrigsAndGirgs · 12-17-2009, 09:42 PM

I'll have mine in tomorrow, got an exam that's been pre-occupying me.

I was the second seed. Shouldn't I have home field?

Yes, you do have homefield.

**Hasbro** · 12-20-2009, 01:14 AM

Good. I don't want to play in that ****hole Candlestick even in pretend.
