HEY! It only took me 10 years to win that title, what are you tryin to say!??????

that ten years to win it is so very................average.......

[Lonbull]

So you're saying I spent too much time on it?

I have found with this game that at some point in the season you will definitely question why you didn't spend a lot more time thinking about your schedule AND why you even put any thought into it in the first place -- it's a confounding challenge!

L.B.

Just like in any pool I've ever been in, hindsight is 20-20. I can see myself convincingly saying at the end of the season that I did know in September that the week 14 game between the Chargers and Falcons was going to be a barnburner, and just can't understand why, given that knowledge, I didn't choose it.

Welcome to MNF Executive 2020 -- Average Joos took the Title last year and (per usual) began his season right in the...well, average. However as any veteran will tell you this game is a brutal, fickle marathon and Week 1 reveals little about the rest of the season.

ESPN enjoyed a (two game) 60 point total - however they enjoyed their main game Titans v. Broncos all to themselves and enjoyed 55 points with a last second, game winning field goal - in a two point game......(although if I were just scoring on "gut" feelings - I would reduce points because the Titans kicker missed so many Field Goals to keep it a close game!)

The Texans v. Chiefs game was basically "saved" by Rookie Clyde Edwards Helaine picking up 25 points with his first career Touchdown.



If not for that Touchdown - the bulk of MNF Execs would be sitting with 5 points in Week 1 -- Two rookies scored their first TD's in Week 1 including D’Andre Swift -- as I watched Swift catch the Game Winning TD -- I wondered if I should add a little more "spice" in the future and add more points if that TD is a GAME WINNER!!!!! (Of course, then he dropped the ball.....still a thought for next season).



So far everyone avoided the dreaded Goose Egg Lounge -- here's hoping that streak continues!

*** Here's a tip of the cap for MeetJoeGreene listing his game as the Washington Football Team v. the Cardinals.....well done sir.



Here's a look at Week 2 - your leader is in RED

One more yard Cam!!!.......

[Lonbull]

One more yard Cam!!!.......

For the record it brings me more joy that someone understands this game (MNF Exec) than it does that someone "suffers" from understanding this game.

Bad Beat my friend -- but you didn't end up in the Goose Egg Lounge....like some of us.

I kinda think this is a case where the scoring system doesn't do the games full justice.

If a team attempts a FG in the final seconds, there's a bonus added to the game. But if a team attempts to score a TD in the final seconds to win the game, no points.

I always thought the point of the game was to try and place a value on how engaging a game was and how many people stuck with the game til the end. I'd say the NE / Seattle game came down to the wire and no one that was watching lost interest until the final play. IMHO, that's worth points. More points in fact than a team that gets a kickoff, makes 3 plays to get into FG position at the end of a game to kick a game winning FG.

Not that I'm biased because I picked that game too

[Starlifter]

I’m with Flippy. That last play was worth at least 50 points.......

nope! (says the guy who suggested a rule change last year because a rook came in and lead a comeback - even though he didn't *start* that game)

Three (not so quiet) Execs took the top spot this week with the Patriots v. Seahawks game earning a well fought for 45 points - although Flippy and Starlifter clamored for more - due to a great goal line stand by Seattle.....or a failed scoring attempt by the Patriots, depends on how you look at it.

**However to address their question - they make a good point about how exciting this game's finish was and I promise I will reconsider scoring this kind of game in the off-season. Until then enjoy your top score my friends.




As we look at the top of the Board - Starlifter, the 2014 MNF Exec. Champion is off to a very strong start.....however the 2019 (and current reigning) Champion isn't far behind -- (Average no-mo) Jooser enjoyed a 40 point Broncos v. Steelers game all to himself -- he owes quite a few of his points to Claypool picking up a beautiful touchdown pass (his first) from Ben Roethlisberger!!!



On the opposite end of the spectrum your good friend Lonbull (yours truly) was buying drinks at the Goose Egg Lounge and his good friends Papillion and Ghost stopped by for some Tequila shots.....and then our bartender drank all the tequila...and changed me.



Looking ahead Ghost will look to rebound with Jooser in the Cowboys v. Seattle game -- and Starlifter and NBC will look to take over the top spots --- but it won't be easy, as ESPN has a great game on tap.

Here's a look at Week 3 - your leader is in RED

Week 3

Raiders v. Patriots – MeetJoeGreene, Fordfixer
Lions v. Cardinals – Lonbull

Cowboys v. Seahawks – Ghost, Jooser
Dolphins v. Jaguars – Pfelix73

[Lonbull]

nope! (says the guy who suggested a rule change last year because a rook came in and lead a comeback - even though he didn't *start* that game)

I think that was two years ago -- and you STILL ended up getting the points for Baker Mayfield.

However - this rule I feel comfortable changing now and I have thought about and rewritten.

I’m giving 20 additional points if you select THE game which features these Quarterbacks WINNING their 1^st game – provided the following:

The Rookie QB STARTS the game (OR enters a game where his team is either TIED or Trailing).
Also the Rookie QB must play one full quarter.
And The Rookie QB is a part of the LAST Scoring drive for his team.
