The NFL Thread

FFS missed it again

 

[Parkins left foot]

Watching this on BBC2 - realise why I have not got into this

2 mins of play then 5 mins of pundits about that play - maybe I need to take in a match to see it without the pundits cutting in

My eldest son is a fan & was at the Twickenham game last week so maybe 2 tickets for a game next year will be a possibility

Browns are actually playing and defending ok. Keenum has been mostly shite. If it wasn't for Thielen they'd have almost no points.

 

[Alan]

Browns have an okay defense (really made or broken by the health of Myles Garrett) but that offense is one of the most inept I've ever seen, and American football was my first sports love so I've seen a ton of bad offenses. It's not just one bad thing, either, where with other poor offenses you can usually pinpoint bad offensive line play or poor QB decisions, with Cleveland they are so far below par at every offensive position that it's beyond criminal.

The organization is a mess. Drafting Garrett was the first good decision they've made in, well, probably their entire history since they re-formed.

Missed putting my team in. Nuts.

I couldn't see a 100% fair way of separating the two non-entries, so have shared the points for 5th and 6th places. 1.5 points each instead of 2 and 1.

Sorry about that Bear, I completely forgot about the early kick-off and didn't pick my team in time. I will pick my team and then change them on Sunday depending on line-ups instead of trying to pick a line-up with the news on Sunday.

 

[PuntsWolf]

I knew I hadn’t done it but was out all Sunday morning and thought I’d be back at lunch to do it, but an unexpected detour to the in laws saw me miss the boat...

 

[The Bear]

Oh it's not a problem at all. Just means you have the .5 on the end.

 

[James]

Wooo not last!

 

[The Bear]

Looks like it's auto-invited today. Sound.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Haven't had an invite...

 

[The Bear]

You had it last week. Still pending...

I'll try sending one again.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Got it now thanks

 

[Johnny75]

I've not had one yet Bear. This was me being organised too!

 

[Tony Towner]

Deshaun Watson done his ACL, Texans have had some rough luck this year and he was looking a strong rookie of the year candidate

 

[Alan]

He may still win it; he was outstanding.

Reports that it was a non-contact tear, hopefully he can come back from it like it never happened.

 

[The Bear]

I've not had one yet Bear. This was me being organised too!

Re-sent.

Gutted about Watson. He was looking the real deal.

 

[darlowolf64]

I'm in...
