Cincinnati Bengals Player Pick 'Em for Week 6

OK folks we're back now for week 4 of our Cincinnati Bengals player pick 'em contest.  To see the full write-up of the original rules see here.  Last week's scoring results are repeated below the jump.  Here are the current score standings:

1 – Deisel2405 – 60 pts
2 – brandone – 44 pts
3 – Vman in Germany – 38 pts
4 (tie) – Richard L – 30 pts
4 (tie) – FriarBob – 30 pts
5 (tie) – The Dealio – 21 pts
5 (tie) – Bengals FTW – 21 pts
6 (tie) – ZJiff30 – 20 pts
6 (tie) – Carsonorbust – 20 pts
7 (tie) – IFChris – 19 pts
7 (tie) – CincyMike56 – 19 pts
7 (tie) – Mr. X – 19 pts
7 (tie) – featherman – 19 pts

This week we will face the badly underachieving Houston Texans, who have loads of offensive talent and arguably close to as much defensive talent as we, but can't seem to put it together (not that we're complaining about that of course).  Let's all hope our D continues to play with a huge chip on their shoulders for Coach Zim, because we will likely need it to do so unless our offense suddenly turns into the 2007 Patriots.

Star-divide

The scoring recap post from last week is repeated here as well:

Only 16 participants this weekend, were people afraid to participate because it was the big bad Ravens?  Or was it just because I got the new thread up late?  Oh well, anyway, we won a major game for Coach Zimmer and that alone is worthy of note.  Fortunately at least some of the people picked scored as well, so even better.  But because of the low turnout the maximum points for "uniqueness" is only 15 this time.

According to the rules of the game, Andre Caldwell, Cedric Benson, Leon Hall (x2) and Johnathan Joseph (x2) all scored points for people who picked them.  I would very much like to give points for Chinny on the incorrectly called play but the rules here are we go by the official NFL stats even when they are wrong.  But since nobody picked him I guess it doesn't matter anyway.  Also nobody picked Andre or Big Ced, which means they don't score any points for their followers either.  I will give WHYUS some props tho as he definitely got robbed, but for a shirt-tail tackle his "no-show" guy would have put some points on the board and also saved us from another embarrassing Brad St. Louis mis-snap (of course, he might still have blown the extra point...).

So here is our weekly scoring only:
Richard L – 30 pts (Leon Hall x2)
FriarBob – 30 pts (Johnathan Joseph x2)

This leaves us with a three week leader board of:
1 – Deisel2405 – 60 pts
2 – brandone – 44 pts
3 – Vman in Germany – 38 pts
4 (tie) – Richard L – 30 pts
4 (tie) – FriarBob – 30 pts
5 (tie) – The Dealio – 21 pts
5 (tie) – Bengals FTW – 21 pts
6 (tie) – ZJiff30 – 20 pts
6 (tie) – Carsonorbust – 20 pts
7 (tie) – IFChris – 19 pts
7 (tie) – CincyMike56 – 19 pts
7 (tie) – Mr. X – 19 pts
7 (tie) – featherman – 19 pts

If you see any problem with the scoring above please speak up ASAP.

If you haven't played yet, here is a brief recap of the rules:

1) Pick one player (Make it easy on me, make him the title of your post.  Both first and last name please.) who is NOT officially listed as a QB, P, or PK on the roster.
2) An offensive score is worth one point per participant who did not pick your player.
3) A defensive player is worth 3/2/1 point per participant who did not pick your player based on if he 3) actually scored, 2) gained possession of the ball for the team, or 1) allowed the Bengals to gain possession by causing a fumble another player recovered.  Sacks or tackles behind the line of and by themselves are not worth anything unless they are a strip-sack (1 point) or they are also a safety (3 points).
4) You score the maximum possible points for your player but only one time.  So a defensive player who forces an opponent's fumble that Cincinnati recovers and recovers another opponent's fumble at a different point in the game is worth 2x points (not 3x cumulative).
5) Keep commentary to the bare minimum please.
6) Predictions on how they will score are not required, and if you provide one they don't net you any bonus if you are right nor do they detract if you are wrong (so long as they do actually score by game rules).
7) Try to be original yet still pick somebody you think has a realistic chance to score or cause a turnover.
8) Only ONE (1) player entry per contestant, per week is allowed.
9) Deadline for player entries each week is THIRTY (30) minutes prior to kickoff.

It's still a good season if we go 2-14 and beat the Steelers twice.

Leon Hall

Hall was my last minute pick last week after searching around. It was kind of hard to believe Jonathan Joseph will be third time lucky (yes he is good). The way Palmer distributes the ball, anyone on the offense could be a score. I had Quan earlier but it didn’t look like he will break away. May be Hall wil get a bit of Joseph’s magic touch for 2nd interception in two games.

Chris Henry

Palmer is yet to break 300 yrds passing in a game, so heres hoping he hits a few deep balls this week.

Cedric Benson

I’ve been debating who I wanted this week but Houston has been just plain atrocious against the run… I’ll try Big Ced.

Well it really sucks trying to do this after a loss, but oh well. Might as well get it over with and hope for better next week. With 24 participants the maximum points for “uniqueness” is 23.

Cedric Benson and Laveranues Coles scored offensive points by the rules of the game, Chris Crocker (x2), Brandon Johnson (x2), and Robert Geathers (x1) scored defensive points by the rules of the game. Leon Hall gets robbed this week, IMO, because I think the fumble was a fumble, but also because he forced another but our guys couldn’t recover it. The big question comes with what to do with the blocked kick. That is a turnover, but unfortunately the rules didn’t not explicitly state what happens in that case. I’ve decided that the spirit of the rules as previously written seems to fit best with calling that points for Antwan Odom (x1) and Dhani Jones (x2) and I’ll make appropriate adjustments to the summary rules at the bottom of next week’s post. Unfortunately nobody picked Geathers, Johnson, Crocker, or Jones so their points don’t help anybody out.

So here is our weekly scoring only:
The Dealio – 23 points (Antwan Odom)
carsonorbust – 23 points (Laveranues Coles)
Mr. X – 20 points (Cedric Benson)
CincyMike56 – 20 points (Cedric Benson)
FriarBob – 20 points (Cedric Benson)
Greener’s eyes – 20 points (Cedric Benson)

This leaves us with a four week leader board of:
1 – Deisel2405 – 60 pts
2 – FriarBob – 50 pts
3 (tie) – brandone – 44 pts
3 (tie) – The Dealio – 44 pts
4 – Carsonorbust – 43 pts
5 (tie) – CincyMike56 – 39 pts
5 (tie) – Mr. X – 39 pts
6 – Vman in Germany – 38 pts
7 – Richard L – 30 pts
8 – Bengals FTW – 21 pts
9 (tie) – ZJiff30 – 20 pts
9 (tie) – Greener’s eyes – 20 pts
10 (tie) – IFChris – 19 pts
10 (tie) – featherman – 19 pts

If you see any problem with the scoring above please speak up ASAP.
