NFL Pick Six 2021/2022 in Other Sports ·
I should probably go check where the Super Bowl is being held this year😳

My heart belongs to the Tigers, but my head tells me to root for those better Rams
Just kidding—it’s the Cincinnati Tigers all the way. God is on our side

It’s either glory or nothing at all; you win or you die.
You only live once, after all.🙂 😁

I’ll be casting my vote entirely in favor of the visitors. 🙂
I just need a moment to sit with my thoughts and weigh everything one last time.

He’s actually decided to disqualify you
You were handing out the wrong game schedules😳

😁 Just kidding. Honestly, BlackShip, this is
like getting penalized when you're already halfway to the end zone🧐
👎 We’re revoking your license

Hmm... it appears the secret to success lies exactly in this 🙂
you have to remain completely neutral, refusing to root for anyone, just so you can keep a
cool head when it comes to making those split-second, high-stakes decisions.
My thanks to the winner, DJ, for providing such brilliant inspiration.
Now, I just need to figure out how to freeze my favorite team in time
so they stay winning—that shouldn't be too difficult, right?🤔

😁

I'm not sure if I've mentioned this already, but I don't think I have.
I must extend my gratitude to our colleague BlackShip for this masterclass in strategy.
It truly made my day, even though some days are an absolute disaster.👎
One really ought to get all of this organized—the logistics, the planning, and so on...

🙂 🙂

Congratulations to the winner. Let’s be clear: this wasn't some stroke of luck...
It takes hours upon hours of studying trends and dissecting charts, I guarantee you 😉
To be honest, the girls fell a bit short of the mark; I was fully expecting and hoping for a victory
My colleagues Karen Myers4 and Mariposa missed out, though I suppose I was just daydreaming about my own win.
A truly honorable first attempt at the game. 🙂

If I were to actually join this forum... 😳 I wasn't even running late this time, so there's no excuse for that.
I honestly feel quite embarrassed that I haven't contributed anything to this forum until now. It is frankly a bit shameful that I have remained silent for this long.

wearywolf49 said:Fine, let’s get this straight: if you want to identify the actual winner by legitimate NFL standards at the end of the season, you have to take the total points scored and divide them by the number of games played. It’s basic math, really. But there's a catch—to prevent some fluke performance from skewing the data, a player needs to have played a minimum of nine games to be considered valid. Anything else is just noise. 😁

I don't even know where to begin with this nonsense. It’s absolute chaos. 🙂
We need to aim for something exactly like this for the upcoming season!
The 2021 season was an absolute gauntlet, and looking back at the data from Pro Football Reference, it’s clear that anyone claiming it was a "standard" year hasn't been paying attention to the numbers. It was a chaotic, unpredictable mess that defied most conventional logic. If you look at the sheer volatility of the standings, it reminds me of a high-stakes game of poker where the house keeps changing the rules mid-hand. You had teams that looked like championship contenders in September suddenly collapsing under their own weight by December, while bottom-feeders clawed their way into playoff contention through pure grit and defensive attrition. It wasn't just about talent; it was about who could survive the inevitable onslaught of injuries and scheduling nightmares. For those who pride themselves on being "experts," this year should have been a humbling experience. The statistical outliers were everywhere. To suggest that one could simply look at preseason projections and accurately predict the landscape of the NFL in 2021 is nothing short of delusional. It was a season defined by chaos, resilience, and the constant shattering of expectations.
It’s perfectly clear, concise, and straightforward. Either we step up and take part, or we decline entirely. There is no middle ground here. 🙂

I remember, of course. 😬

I honestly believe I’ve reached the point where I should just start losing on purpose.
I am going to secure a much better draft position next season. 🤷
😵😁

wearywolf49 said:You have to find a way to reward the people who actually stay consistent. According to your logic, the winner would just be some guy who nails five picks or even hits the Super Bowl right out of the gate and then immediately quits. That’s not how this works.😁

Oh, please... you know how the NFL works.
Take the most accurate QB, for instance—we look at a minimum of 20 attempts to see real results.
But fine... I'll stop being so pedantic... the main thing is just getting involved.🙂
🙂

Wouldn't it be far more realistic to calculate shots
based on the total number of cars we actually put on the track 😳
since we didn't all line up at the starting gate together 🙂
In fact, it would be more akin to how they handle things in the Super Bowl LIV, much like the Yardbirds
tracking attempts through 4.7, 4.5, 4.1, 3.8, 0.9... 😁

Bravo, everyone, much respect. So, we're talking about the Denver Broncos now? Fine, let me "brag" a little bit myself.
I’ve said this somewhere before—maybe not in this specific thread, but back in the NFL discussion section.
The reason I have such respect for Teddy is because he’s one of our own... I mean, I'm a Saint, so clearly
I don't need to explain to you all that he was the one steering the ship last season when
Drew Brees was sidelined until we were sitting at nearly 5:0. And just look at where we are this season. 🙂
Teddy might not be the undisputed GOAT, but he is a far better strategist than the credit he actually receives.
Everyone in New Orleans loves him, and honestly, I believe they’d be thrilled to have him back.
It was such a great moment last season when the crowd started chanting "Teddy, Teddy,..."
and Sean was forced to finally put him in the game. Good old times, eh? 🙂
Wait a second, Karen Myers4, aren't you supposed to be a Green Bay fan? 🤔
Or are you going to claim he's your husband next? I guess you're just a fan-in-law. 😬

I found it, here you go:

They finished as the runners-up during that 2019/20 season.
It wouldn't be any shock at all if they pull off a win this year. Honestly, we should all just expect it. We’ve become far too accustomed to this cycle. 🙂
I am absolutely fed up with this constant, mindless repetition. It’s like watching a broken record spin in circles while everyone else just nods along, pretending there's actual substance being discussed. If we are going to have a conversation here, let's at least try to bring something new to the table instead of recycling the same tired arguments like they're groundbreaking insights. It is frankly exhausting. You see one person make a point—an incredibly thin, flimsy point at that—and within five minutes, three other people are echoing it verbatim. It lacks any semblance of critical thought. It’s not a discussion; it’s an echo chamber. We aren't in a kindergarten classroom where we all hold hands and sing the same song; we are adults engaging in a debate. If you can't find a fresh angle or provide actual evidence to support your stance, then why even bother posting? It’s nothing more than digital clutter. I refuse to sit here and pretend that this circular logic is productive. Either move the needle forward or step aside for someone who actually has something meaningful to contribute.

Since I was only just drafted this year—though, unfortunately, clearly not at the level I expected—I find myself in quite a peculiar position.
It all comes back to that rookie year.😁I find this entire situation to be quite frankly unbelievable.
If I were to try and bring up the NFL while hanging out with my circle of girlfriends, I’d either be met with complete silence or a look of utter confusion. It just wouldn't land.
It’s either a direct punch to the nose or, if you’re lucky, just a dazed, vacant stare.☕That's exactly it...
I am still sitting here in absolute, utter disbelief.

Wait a second—so silentpanther7 is a girl!? 😱
Good grief. Honestly, I am absolutely speechless. This is just unbelievable.
What on earth is going on with this forum lately? 😕

Karen Myers4 said:

Allow me to be the one to point out such a glaring detail.
And I don't have any of yours to pick up, for heaven's sake!
What an absolute disaster of picks. Pure idiocy. 🤦

Allow me to present my defense. 😳
I missed all three of them. All three!
They managed to solve it by only occupying a single territory.
The Packers-Rams game ended 36-28, and quite frankly, I am incensed by the sheer lack of discipline displayed on the field. It was a chaotic mess from start to finish. You look at a scoreline like that and you see a game that should have been controlled, yet it spiraled into a disorganized slugfest. It’s exactly like watching a high-stakes corporate merger go sideways because nobody bothered to read the fine print—total structural failure. One side had the momentum, only to throw it away through avoidable errors. It's maddening to watch such talent be squandered by such fundamental incompetence.
The Jets managed to scrape out a 21-14 win against the Texans, and frankly, it was a grind. It wasn't exactly a masterpiece of offensive execution, but in this league, sometimes you just have to dig in and fight through the mud to secure the result. It’s like watching a high-stakes corporate takeover where nothing goes according to the initial pitch, yet the end goal is still achieved through sheer persistence. One side finds a way to make it work, while the other is left staring at a broken strategy.
The WFT-Seahawks game ended 17-15, and frankly, I am incensed. It was a lackluster display of football that felt more like a struggle for survival than a professional matchup. When you look at the scoreboard, you see a margin that suggests a close contest, but don't let that fool you—this wasn't "close" in any competitive sense of the word. It was an exercise in inefficiency. It’s much like watching a high-stakes corporate merger fail because neither side could agree on basic logistics; plenty of movement, plenty of meetings, but absolutely zero tangible results. One side failed to capitalize on critical opportunities, while the other simply limped across the finish line. If this level of execution is what we should expect moving forward, we are in for a long, frustrating season. Pure incompetence.

That was an incredibly narrow escape. We really dodged a bullet there. 🙂

A total scrap of paper—unbelievable, truly unbelievable.
Are you even a woman!? 🙂
I'm kidding, of course. My sincere congratulations. I bow before you.
Last time it was 5 out of 6, and now it's a perfect 6/6!!!
Any rational person can see this isn't just some stroke of luck. 🙏
@cosmicgull52/">@@cosmicgull52, here is a suggestion for a new rule: she either gets to cast the
final vote, or we implement a rule where you aren't allowed to have
more than three or four identical picks like hers. No copying allowed. 😁
What a woman... 😍
