Around SBN: Falling Action: Best and Worst of UFC 146

Bengals Player Pick 'Em Wk 4 vs Buffalo

Oy vey.  For once, I'm glad the game was blacked out.  I have Game Rewind and I could watch it if I wanted.  I don't want to.  I'm sorry, San Fran is not as horrible as they used to be, but they are not a good team.  We should have been able to do better than this.  Even if we still didn't win, we should have at least managed one offensive touchdown and cracked the 10-point line.

Oh well.  On to the next week.  I was hoping we'd come into this week at 2-1 because after Buffalo destroyed us last year and now even beat New England, I have absolutely zero faith in our guys to be able to pull off the upset.  Oh I'll be absolutely delighted if I turn out to be wrong.  But who here really thinks I will be.  Anybody?

Well hopefully we can at least put some touchdowns on the board this week.  Fitzy threw two INTs last week against a defense that might well be even worse than ours, so we've got a chance to get some turnovers.  And Buffalo's defense isn't superstar-quality either, so hopefully our offense can at least punch it in once or twice.  Or maybe more if we're really lucky.

Scoring recap post from last week is repeated below the jump as well as the summary version of the rules.  (Review the original full write-up of the rules here if you like.)  Pick your player in the comments and have fun!

Star-divide

Hmm. Well it looks like the scoring is going to be very easy for us today. No offensive TDs means only defensive fumbles caused and recovered could get us points. [Well an INT or a defensive score could have scored for us too… or a kick block. Unfortunately, nobody on our team got any credit for the intentional safety, and none of the others happened. This means we were stuck with no other defensive point options than the fumbles.] And only Jonathan Fanene recovered a fumble, but nobody picked him. This fumble was caused by Rey Maualuga, and two people (Jordan G and The Dealio) picked him. Domata Peko also caused another fumble, but unfortunately San Fran recovered that, so it doesn’t count.

With 52 unique picks we had a max possible score of 51. With two players picking Rey and his forced fumble worth half a point, that means our two scoring players got 25 points.

Added to previous standings, this gives us a week 3 leaderboard of:

1. The Dealio – 147 pts
2t. duffmane – 125 pts
2t. TruWhoDey – 125 pts
3. bill schwab – 122 pts
4. biggie22 – 106 pts
5t. diehard bengals fan 20 – 72 pts

5t. ephram – 72 pts
5t. LookingDeep – 72 pts
6t. Boomer Lion – 70 pts
6t. BonnieBengal – 70 pts
6t. Paul Cannon – 70 pts
6t. i am will – 70 pts
6t. Cedric Benson Boat Party – 70 pts
6t. Aether – 70 pts

8t. FriarBob – 52 pts
9. ThreeofSpades – 28 pts
10. 70sav – 27 pts
11. Jordan G – 25 pts

Here is a quick 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, and please try to avoid nicknames or blatant misspellings.) 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 2/1/0.5 point(s) per participant who did not pick your player based on if he 2) actually scored, 1) gained possession of the ball for the team but didn't actually score, or 0.5) allowed the Bengals to gain possession by causing a fumble (or blocking a kick) that another Bengals player recovered.  Sacks or tackles behind the line of and by themselves are not worth anything unless they are a strip-sack (0.5 points if we recover) or they are also a safety (2 points).  All half-points will be rounded down.  A blocked FG is always 0.5 for the blocker, a blocked punt is the same unless the blocker is the only person (on either team) to touch the ball before it becomes a safety (in which case it becomes 2 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 1x points (not 1.5x 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.  Unless your first player was on the roster at the start of the week and is put on IR/cut/traded before the next week, your first comment is your player, so pick carefully.
  9. Deadline for player entries each week is THIRTY (30) minutes prior to kickoff.

Picking this based on the assumption we actually make a red zone appearance.

2011 and beyond. Only one thing came true on the last wishlist.
This year's wishlist
1. Bengals win Super Bowl (Something I hope for every year)
2. Reds win the World Series(or at least a playoff game)
3. Ohio State Wins a Big 10 title
4. Cavaliers actually finish with a winning record
5. Wings win the Cup

Everywhere you read, Hall should not need to be reminded that Fitzpatrick and Johnson teamed up and made him looked real bad last year. So far, Hall’s wide-out coverage was just so so, kind of make you wonder if the Bengals made the wrong choice again and Joseph is better. Men, you got to rise to the challenge to show us Hall is a real football player.

Well, what a difference a week makes. We had another game in which we really only played one good half of football, but at least this time it was the RIGHT half, and it was good enough to erase a 14 point deficit and come out with a win. Pity that the game was blacked out locally, however. I suppose it’s better to be blacked out when you suck, but when you play well it’s a shame the fans who can’t afford to see you (or just refuse to directly support Mikey the Moron) can’t see the game.

This week we had 42 legitimate entries. Interestingly enough, despite the fact that our defense clearly was a huge component of the win, it didn’t do jack squat for us on the stat sheet. Well, correction, we did get some sacks, but of and by themselves those aren’t worth anything. Needs to be a strip-sack that we recover. And on offense, with only two TDs scored, including one by Andy just waltzing through the middle of some Bills defenders who looked like they were wondering if they play was over because they couldn’t believe he was past the line of scrimmage, we ended up with only one player qualifying for points this week. So congrats to all seven of those who hoped for Jermaine Gresham to finally be properly used again (Striped_To_Impress, Rockhound-11, Grizzlyfox, jimbasa, Cedric Benson Boat Party, BoomerEsiason’sLoveChild, KyleStyle11). He scored 35 points for each of you. The rest of us will have to wait and try again next week.
