It seems no one has set one up yet so I decided to do so. If you PM me your email address, I'll send you an invite. Alternatively, go to:

For anyone who's unfamiliar with Survival Football, you pick one team a week who you think will win. If that team wins, you live to see another week. If that team loses or you forget to make a pick, then you're out. Also, you can only pick a team once.

If it ends up that everyone is out at some point before the season is over, I can reset the league so we can start all over again.

We have a few people so far but the more the merrier. It's great craic and doesn't take up as much time as fantasy football or football pools.

Karlusss · 03-09-2008 11:34pm

Set up a fake yahoo account (like I need ANOTHER e-mail address) to give me something else to click once a week. Looks like fun.

Just keep picking the Pats and you can't lose;)

That would be nice but as the rules state, you can only pick a team once.

Mr. Guappa · 04-09-2008 5:43pm

I'm in anyway:
Go Eagles

Redsoxfan · 04-09-2008 10:07pm

I'm in.

Go Eagles. I'll try and keep the Pats in reserve as long as possible.

Trampas · 05-09-2008 8:02am

I'm on the Lions

Karlusss · 08-09-2008 12:24am

Brady down, and the Pats are no longer a safe pick. Weird.

JJ · 08-09-2008 11:03am

And I'm out the first week after starting the whole thing, oh well.

Karlusss · 08-09-2008 10:56pm

Me too. Bears?! Seriously?!

AIR-AUSSIE · 09-09-2008 7:00pm

Too late to get in now??

kev_s88 · 09-09-2008 7:48pm

man im happy i picked the Pats in the first round.

really dont expect them to be a major force with matt cassell at QB

Spongey1975 · 10-09-2008 9:55am

Looks as if there is only 7 left. I went for jets first round. I reckon this could be over quite quickly

kev_s88 · 16-09-2008 9:44pm

Mr. Guappa · 18-09-2008 11:06am

Im still in and yup Pats will do the Fins. Best to use Pats now because their schedule will get tougher but as a Pats fan im confident.

Redsoxfan · 18-09-2008 7:23pm

WTF-how did I get eliminated for picking the Texans in week 2?

Contact them but I think a cancelled game is a loss. The fact that game was cancelled on the friday you would have had time to change your pick

Cheers-no big deal as no money involved-didn't think you could change your picks but good point about Friday etc.

Personally its a stupid rule anyways they should let you away with it. Imagine if it was for money you would be rightly pissed.

Spongey1975 · 22-09-2008 10:39am

Down to the last 4, i was really close to changing my pick from the Giants to the Patriots, phew.

tallaghtoutlaws · 22-09-2008 10:42am

So far so good for me still in there.

kev_s88 · 22-09-2008 5:45pm

still in after going Giants last night

close 26-23 overtime win over the Bengals pulled me through

JJ · 22-09-2008 9:27pm

We'll take this all the way until the last person croaks or the season ends. If everyone croaks before the season ends, we can start over again.

JJ · 12-10-2008 11:43pm

Looks like everybody is dead now after the Washington-St Louis game this week. I'll reset things for next week for anyone who wants to start it all over again.

Arthur Daley · 12-10-2008 11:52pm

Yeah bang bang I'm dead after I expected the Redskins to deal with the Rams at home. Well you would wouldn't ya......:pac:

AIR-AUSSIE · 13-10-2008 8:50am

Yea how do you sign up again??

JJ · 13-10-2008 10:08am

There's no need to sign again. I should be able to reset it on Tuesday and then everybody who signed up at the beginning of the season is set to start again.

Spongey1975 · 13-10-2008 10:19am

Damn Redskins, they must have been everyones bankers for the weekend. Still down as joint winner with Arthur so congrats and roll on the next game.

kryogen · 13-10-2008 10:37am

can i get in on this?

AIR-AUSSIE · 13-10-2008 12:59pm

Nah I need to cos I wasn't in on it in the first place/

JJ · 13-10-2008 1:59pm

If you want in, just PM your email address and I'll send you an invite on Tuesday. I presume I'll be able to send invites after I reset it.

JJ · 14-10-2008 10:15pm

The Survival group has been reset and I invited those who wanted to be invited. Happy picking!

Cheers dude love these survival leagues although Denver let me down in last one shows how mad the NFL is this year. What should be wins not happening. Madness I tells ye.

JJ · 05-11-2008 10:23am

Don't forget that this week has a Thursday game so get your picks in soon.

AIR-AUSSIE · 13-11-2008 1:34pm

What happened? Did nobody pick or did everyone lose?

JJ · 13-11-2008 2:04pm

We have seven people still left right now.

Arthur Daley · 15-11-2008 9:57am

I sure forgot to pick. Not much of a window now with the Thursday night game.

JJ · 18-11-2008 1:35pm

Anybody who picked the Eagles or Bengels this past week was also eliminated as your team has to win.

raddo · 19-11-2008 10:15am

I had the Eagles!!
Yesterday morning checked and was still in the game.
Should be counted as its Survival not Win!!
Gutted!!

JJ · 24-11-2008 9:05am

There's been some major attrition this week. Most of us, including myself, picked Denver to beat Oakland. After the first few weeks, there weren't too many upsets so we were all coasting along just fine but now we're now down to two.

Mr. Guappa · 24-11-2008 2:31pm

Only 2 of us left now.. Not really any easy picks available to me.. Looks like a toss-up between the Titans and the Colts

JJ · 28-11-2008 3:56pm

The last two standing picked Tennessee and Dallas so they live to see another week.

JJ · 30-12-2008 10:39am

Both adrian.marnane and ausdev20 survived until the bitter end so they are the joint winners:

Mr. Guappa · 31-12-2008 5:25pm

Actually we both had the Bucs in the last week who lost to the Raiders, still an 11 week streak isnt bad!!
