ROTB Survival Pick'em: Who's Alive and Week 2

PrintAfter a pretty successful week 1 in the books, much of ROTB members are still alive. A survival pick'em league is no joke, and as some have already experienced, not every game is a lock. New England and San Diego nearly blew it yesterday, which would have eliminated most of us. Just in case anybody is new to this, here's a quick breakdown. You pick a team each week to win, you only pick one, and you can't pick that team again for the season. If that team loses when you pick them, you are dead. Whoever lasts the longest wins. And if you haven't started yet, you can jump in anytime. Here's more detailed information and here's the members that are still alive and those that are no longer with us.
| Who's Alive | Who's Dead |
| Hawkwind, Andrew602, b0rd3rline, hevchv, Irishcardinal, Fitz Jizzle, Carddan, Red Reign, TBru, Desert_Bird_Watcher, TrojanZags, CARDstucknVA, Cuckoo for Coco Puffs, KDean75, kj197728, jallred350, Hibernian, Cardsirish, Thomaldo, AJ BirdWatcher, bcloirao, CHg91, azcardswinez, sc464, Tim V, robloosli, CARDSxFAN32, SenSurround, Travis23, toolman234, Giannaros, manphibian, superpsck, boogatt66 | Wongy, azsportsfan31, Bezekira, StuckinColorado, thereallacardsfan, Pyromnc |
As the season progresses, the above table will become more detailed, such as how long a certain player has lasted compared to a new players streak. For now, it's pretty simple as it's only week 1. The next table will show the teams that have been picked so far, how many times they were picked, the number of times they "saved" a player, and the number of times they "lost" a player.
| # | Teams | Times Picked |
Players Saved |
Players Lost |
| 1 | Saints | 11 | 11 | 0 |
| 2 | Ravens | 7 | 7 | 0 |
| 3 | Seahawks | 5 | 5 | 0 |
| 4 | Chargers | 5 | 5 | 0 |
| 5 | Cardinals | 4 | 0 | 4 |
| 6 | Patriots | 3 | 3 | 0 |
| 7 | Texans | 2 | 0 | 2 |
| 8 | Cowboys | 1 | 1 | 0 |
| 9 | Vikings | 1 | 1 | 0 |
| 10 | Packers | 1 | 1 | 0 |
Here are next weeks slate of games. I'll post links to the previous weeks, that way you can go back to see your past picks if you forgot them. It shouldn't be too difficult to remember who you've already selected, but I'll do my best to check and let anyone know that they've already picked a certain team before kick off. Week 1 Picks.

I thought about that. Made me change my mind.
Hey, hey, hey hey hey, watch the language, ok? I have a family.
Revenge of the Birds
Geez, can't believe I was 7-1 in the weekly pick'em but busted out in the very first week of Survival league
Be careful....to a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
Yeah that blows to be eliminated in the first week.

Raiders
This is a bit iffy, but if they play as inspired as they did against the Chargers, they should dominate the Chiefs.
Can I stay alive if the Raiders some how lose, but Seymour annihilates the o-line? >_>
I guess I'll go with...
Washington.
Hopefully one day I’ll be “alive” to pick a team to win NOT playing against the Rams…
My dream is buried in the second page of a forum...
Oh well, I'll soon get over it... And try to fulfill it by myself...
Welcome to ROTB
Hey, hey, hey hey hey, watch the language, ok? I have a family.
Revenge of the Birds
Thanks
I lurk around and Bezekira already welcomed me before :D, but I still lurk around mainly because I know nothing about football :)
Whats up doc?
Oh so you're a lurker? lol
Well I’m sure if you lurk long enough you’ll learn what you need about football and the Cardinals.
Hey, hey, hey hey hey, watch the language, ok? I have a family.
Revenge of the Birds
the good thing about the game is that the more you learn, the more you realize you don't know anything
Feel free to jump in with both feet.
Be careful....to a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
Did someone actually pick the Raiders?
Chiefs…I may only be playing one week, but I just can’t let that fly.
I like to live dangerously..(week 2)
Buffalo Bills
Can people still join?, because this seems like total fun

Green Bay
We all leave footprints in the sands of time, just watch out for the discarded fish hooks!
stayin' alive
Washington – they held their own versus a team that is superior to the Rams..

Minnesota
The others seem too hard.
Life's too short. Be a fan. Orlando Magic, Arizona Cardinals,Tampa Bay Rays and of course "the U"! What a winning combo.

Washington
Also if a few of us recommend this article it stays on the front page longer in that left column, Just a suggestion.

you can also find it in the section titled "weekly pick'em"
That’s relatively close to the top and you can get the survival and pick’em leagues there

WEEK 2 SURVIVOR PICK
This week is a lot harder, i guess I’ll go with the Green Bay Packers
Washington
I didn’t want to go with this pick. Too popular, and I was hoping for an upset that would put everyone else out….
But I just don’t see it happening.
Cardinals
Who would win in a fight, Whisenhunt or a Hurricane?
Hold on, hold on, what if the Hurricanes name was Whisenhunt?
Daaaaaaaaaa Cards, Da Cards Da Cards Da Cards Da Cards!!!
