Stacker Sports- Meta Takeover- Day 63
1407 sats \ 41 comments \ @grayruby 5 Sep 2023 meta
The time has come and the SN NFL survivor pool week 1 picks are open. As you can see I am going with the "try to get eliminated as quickly as possible" strategy by picking the Commanders (who?) and Sam Howell (who?).
@siggy47 and @lawndough grab the low hanging fruit with the Ravens. We even get an anon troll in the chat. A lions fan (hmm).
If you are partaking in the pool, or just casually observing, please reply with the NFL team you support so we can begin general trashing talking. I think I know most of your teams but let's get it all documented for posterity. I am a 49ers fan (please don't mess this potential SB season up Brock).
Sats for all.
Cheers, GR

They didn't try to win the draft, they had bigger goals: winning games. Chances of an HBO Superbowl (Lions vs Jets)?

Go Pack Go! Went to one of Favre's last games as a starter, one of Rodger's early starts, bought sweet tickets for Packers vs Vikings in October. Hope the Love era goes well.

Should be a good season for the Jets. I still think Bills are better.

I won't dox them but we have 2 Lions fans in our pool.

My bad. The other Lions fan didn't join the pool so maybe there is only one and 2 nyms plus a bot. @tnuts420 you spreading Lions love over multiple accounts?

I admit I’m a lions fan, but won’t be betting on them or against them ever again. Every time I’ve bet on them, I’ve lost. Two times I bet against them as an “emotional hedge” - and they covered both times. Another time I made it to week 14 or 15 in an elimination pool, had no choice but to select the lions. I believe they were favored to win the game, and lost. This particular elimination pool paid out over $100k to each winner that year.

Even though you aren't participating in the pool, feel free to pop in and trash talk the Vikings and Packers fans in the pool.

Nah, they're just Packers haters who haven't come over to the Vikings yet. Just like bears. They're just hibernating until they wake up Vikings fans.
But one thing we all know. FTP.

F the Packers. Just like FTS is F the Saints.
And FSP is F Sean Payton. (Bounty Gate)
The last one isn't well known. But the first one is fairly common across NFC North forums/social media.

People best IMMEDIATELY stop sleeping on those Giants. They'll have a chance late in the season to win the division if they can take 1/2 games from the Eagles!
And the Patrick Mahome's contract is starting to really eat into the team's depth, they'll struggle when it starts to matter in late November, no more cruise control to finish first in their division!
First starting QB benched: Justin Fields (gulp)? Bruh, you have Caleb Williams and Drake Maye waiting for you.

Not every defensive coordinator is as bad as ed donatell. Danny Dimes won't find it so easy to be made to look like Danny dollars now.

Wouldn't be surprised. Everyone's juicing in some way, just depends if it's legal or not.

I actually don't have any idea who Sam Howell is. I wasn't joking around. I just watched 3 mins of his preseason highlights. Looks like he is great at 4 yard passes. Haha, good thing the commanders have a good D and Zona is awful.

How did you get stuck with the Commanders? Random draw? or did you draft 20th or something?
