I'm the opposite. I find the app terrible with it's layout. The website on a mobile is quite decent.

That looks like an ankle break for Odell Beckham

 

[The Bear]

By the way he was crying his eyes out he must know it's bad.

 

[Tony Towner]

It is a broken ankle, Giants are toast though so won't be a season difference maker. Aaron Rodgers is sublime, drives his team to victory with less than two minutes on the clock time after time. He might not have Brady's rings, but for me he's the better QB

 

[The Bear]

Looks like JJ Watt is done too. Broken/fractured tibia just below the knee. Ow!

Seemed to be non contact too which was weird.

Cheers Bear.

Well I'm consistently average, at least... Cheers Nick

 

[Tony Towner]

Cheers Bear, I clearly have a well honed strategy...if only I knew what it was!

 

[The Bear]

Mine is - Pick my team in midweek, then tinker with it on a Sunday afternoon until it's unrecognisable. Then realise on Sunday night the original one would have scored much better.

 

[James]

Sorry for not putting a team in, forgot about doing it been dealing with the lil one and the wife being in hospital

 

[The Bear]

No need to apologise. It's only a game and you have more important things to deal with.

Finally got round to watching the highlights from the Bears vs Vikings game. Promising start by Trubisky but boy the O Line need to step up...shame about the game losing interception

The Vikings have an interesting decision in the off season.

I can't see a big contract coming for Bradford with these knee issues that persist. Bridgewater may or may not be able to train after week 6 but think realistically he will only be ready for a handful of games this season. Keenum has done a good job and is probably one of the better backup QB's in the league but you wouldn't want to bank on him long term as a starter.

On the game Monday it was a familiar story the defense played well, the offense wasn't great but passable enough to get a win on the road, not the best of performances though and need to improve a lot to beat Green Bay on Sunday.

Encouraging that McKinnon got some good yards with Cook missing. I think these injuries to Bradford make it unlikely they'll keep him on and no one has any idea what Teddy will be like after his horrific injury. Keenum has surprised me but I could see a trade or a draft pick in the off season to get a new starting qb.

All is appearing to be good now and I’ve put it in my work diary so it will be done

 

[Tony Towner]

Would you mind putting up this weeks invite please Bear

 

[The Bear]

Sorted. Was just waiting for the site to allow me to include Monday and Tuesday's games. Why they don't let you do it from the start baffles me.

 

[Tony Towner]

Cheers, I'm in

Eagles look like the real deal, away win in Carolina on a short week is a sit up and take notice result. Wentz is making the second season progression hoped for and Ertz is the best Tight End in the NFL at the moment.
