You should all be able to join at this link.

I can't edit the OP anymore, so a mod might update the link (and the thread title for 2015) in the OP if they can.

I used to like ESPN. I hate what they have done to the site. Not only is it now impossible to figure out where anything is, it now doesn't let me log in from work.

I couldn't log in either. When I hit 'Log In' nothing happens.

I decided to browse to the ESPN Insider pages and try to buy a subscription, because I thought there was no way they would block someone trying to give them money. I was right of course. You should be able to log in via an ESPN Insider page, then hit the link above and you should be able to join.

ESPN is my favourite fantasy site after NFL.com. Yahoo blocked my account back in February in the middle of a $ NBA league I was 2nd in, so they are at the bottom of my list and will never be used by me again for anything.

I'm in

I'm in

boccy23 · 08-09-2015 12:17pm

Week 1 is hard. Last year I survived a long time based on a simple formula of selecting a home team and ignoring "saving" teams for later. But all the Home teams this week look well dodgy.

padraig_f · 08-09-2015 12:25pm

In again....yeah, difficult first week.

ScummyMan · 08-09-2015 1:35pm

In aswell, all aboard the Green Bay train this week I'd say.

jack presley · 13-09-2015 9:10pm

Well I'm done. Thanks for an enjoyable season. See you next year! Bloody Colts by the way.

ScummyMan · 17-09-2015 1:03pm

Who do we have this week?

Miami for me. Heaps of people on the Saints I'd say but it feels like that fixture is always prone to surprises.

I had Miami last week - hard to go with away teams in NFL so Saints will be a lot of peoples pick alright. Can't see the Ravens dropping game to Raiders either but 1st home game of season can be hard to predict...

boccy23 · 17-09-2015 2:21pm

Eagles at home.

ScummyMan · 17-09-2015 2:39pm

I'm on the Saints myself, Bucs are woeful.

limerickfc · 18-09-2015 1:10pm

Gone with the Rams, hoping they can keep rolling after last week & trying to save some of the big teams for later

same as that man!

boccy23 · 21-09-2015 12:13pm

So far 1 guy is still standing - Oaob. There are 3 who have picked a result in tonights game. So it could be all over in week 2!

That's gas isn't it? Last year there were loads still going in weeks 8-9 if I remember correctly.

Even if I had got past week 1, I'd be out now anyway as I had the Ravens. 0-2 now. What a joke!

adrian522 · 21-09-2015 12:29pm

I'll never learn, last season, Saints against the Browns in week 2, this year against the Buccs.

I'd say a lot of people are out after wins for Oakland, Jacksonville and Tampa.

OAOB · 21-09-2015 3:52pm

Kind of a shame so many are knocked out so early

Lionbacker · 08-09-2016 2:09pm

This game is still active is anyone is interested in it for this year.

ScummyMan · 08-09-2016 2:46pm

I'm in again

adrian522 · 08-09-2016 2:57pm

I'll join, and I vow not to take the Saints until absolutely necessary this year.

OAOB · 08-09-2016 5:31pm

I'll defend the title. Try get past week 2 this year lads:P

thomond2006 · 08-09-2016 5:39pm

I've joined. Gone for Seattle week 1. I'm sure I'll regret not having Seattle in a later week but I have to get there first.

adrian522 · 08-09-2016 6:00pm

Well, everyone was eliminated by week 2 or 3 last year so I don''t think its a great strategy to "save" teams for later in the season.

Tristram · 08-09-2016 7:28pm

In again

Realt Dearg Sec · 08-09-2016 7:55pm

Joined there, didn't know about this last year, might be good craic...unless the Seahawks trip up in week 1...

eagle eye · 08-09-2016 9:01pm

I can't seem to join it. Is it a new group, I don't think I entered a team last year but was in it the year before I think.

D9Male · 08-09-2016 9:04pm

I am in (I think)

In Exile · 09-09-2016 1:59am

I'm in.

No, it's the same link.

If you are logged in to ESPN, go to the eliminator challange homepage here
http://games.espn.com/nfl-eliminator-challenge/2016/en/groupfind

It will tell you what if any groups you are in, and what 2015 groups you were in. If there is a Boards.ie group shown just go into it from their and join/rejoin.

Otherwise if you scroll down to the bottom of that page you will see a search groups text field, throw boards into that. You will see (at the time of posting) four results, this group is the top one. Boards.ie 15+ members.

ScummyMan · 16-09-2016 2:54pm

Reminder to everyone to get their picks in for this week, pretty much everyone made it through the first week.

thomond2006 · 16-09-2016 3:40pm

Went for Baltimore to win @ Cleveland.

I got away with one!

davetherave · 25-09-2016 7:09pm

Early days yet, but not looking good for those of us who picked the Cardinals this week.

thomond2006 · 26-09-2016 9:33am

Thankfully the Dolphins managed to win, otherwise I'm sure most of us would be out!

D9Male · 26-09-2016 3:15pm

I feel a bit uneasy going for the Bengals this week.

adrian522 · 01-10-2016 10:54am

Was tempted by them but hate taking teams on Thursday night for some reason!

thomond2006 · 24-12-2016 10:20pm

San Diego :mad:

davetherave · 10-09-2017 5:40pm

Just tried to re-join this for the new season. Doesn't seem to do anything when I click on the rejoin button from the previous groups list.
Is it just that the gameweek has already begun and I'll be able to do it on tuesday or something?

Big Pussy Bonpensiero · 10-09-2017 8:01pm

Will play also if there's a group made/being made.
