NFL: TWF Grid Iron 2020

[PuntsWolf]

Can only see one draft Kings app on play store. Reviews make it clear it is a pos and lots of people unable to use it.
It's fine, I don't really have the depth of knowledge for this, and my absence evens up the H2H.

Don’t worry about the knowledge. I haven’t followed it at all this offseason, not going to have a clue when I have a look later.

Although historically for me sometimes the more you think about it the worse you do.

Better just picking, Mahomes, CMC and Hill then making up the numbers with the rest!

 

[James]

What punts said except i used Lamar and he ran me to the title. I was bottom the previous 2 years

 

[Johnny75]

Exact same thing happened to me last year when I was trying to register. I don’t really know what happened in the end but I complained to their support team and it started working. Sorry I can’t be more help.

I did precisely this. The support team sorted it in the end but I can only use the app on my IPad and not on any other device. It's a bit shit.

 

[The Bear]

I often get Location Not Allowed errors when trying to load the app when I'm not on my home WiFi.

Basically DK are a bit shit. But it's the only show in town unfortunately.

 

[James]

Bear any objections to swapping bye weeks with Billy just in case he cant get in for week 1?

 

[The Bear]

Fine with me.

 

[James]

Fine with me.

Done, your 1st half bye is now week 7

 

[James]

Just incase billy does drop out there is a h2h contingency plan for a 14 week league and a play off system

 

[Tony Towner]

I see picking a rookie rb didn't exactly go under the radar!

 

[The Bear]

Fresh Prince.

Nah after I read up on the teams yesterday afternoon it was obvious he'd be their main back.

 

[James]

Play offs have 4 weeks traditionally (wild card, divisonal, championship, super bowl) the last 3 weeks of the regulation season will see 1st vs 4th 2nd vs 3rd 5th vs 8th 6th vs 7th over 2 legs then the winners play in a regular season final (aka the grid iron league cup) on week 17

the actual nfl play offs we’ll do 1st vs 8th etc etc then into divisional as semis and conference as second leg and super bowl being the final.

So everyone gets a post season instead of being chucked to the wolves like last season

 

[BillyDee]

Yeah, I'm out, sorry. It just didn't like me...

 

[James]

Yeah, I'm out, sorry. It just didn't like me...

Sorry to hear this Billy if you do get it going, I’ve got 3 spare weeks where a potential cup competition will be going so you’re more than welcome to compete

Speaking of the cup anyone interested in a league cup sort of format where quarters would be week 5, semis week 9 and final week 14. Just to save back to back play offs.

 

[Pompey Wolf]

I see picking a rookie rb didn't exactly go under the radar!

Yeah a quick check of the leaderboard this morning removed any smugness I briefly had after seeing CEH's numbers.

 

[PuntsWolf]

He got stuffed on the goal line 4x as well. Tackled on the 1 after a 20 yard run and then couldn’t get in the end zone on three attempts from the 1. Would have been a nice cherry on the cake to get some [emoji91][emoji91]

 

[Carrotdude]

I’ve been completely out of touch with nfl stuff since lockdown so gone in a bit blind this year, picked people I know who had ‘weak’ opposition. If I’m not last this week I’ll be amazed!

For the final three weeks before the regular playoffs, why not just have a three legged cup?


1 v 8
2 v 7
3 v 6
4 v 5

That three times on Wk15/16/17. Highest aggregate score wins.

Otherwise what are the four losing teams going to do on Wk17?
