The NFL Thread

[Johnny75]

I think I'm the fantasy equivalent of the Lions. Occasionally all of the pieces fit together but most of the time just bang average.

 

[Tony Towner]

Eli ditched by the Giants. They were always going to get a new QB in the Draft, but to be ditched for Geno Smith is rough for a two time SB QB

 

[Tony Towner]

No I agree the whole Chargers thing still stinks all these years later, and he has always benefitted hugely from his surname, but ditching him 2/3 of the way through a nothing season for a journeyman is brutal. If it were for a rookie QB it would make more sense

 

[Alan]

Eli's numbers haven't been good in years but it's not his fault entirely; the offensive line in New York this year is awful.

 

[The Bear]

After a terrible opening 5 weeks I've really turned it around and only 10 points off the lead now.

And............... BUMP.

Back down to earth. My Sunday afternoon tinkering backfired this week and lost me about 40 points. All of Howard, Cooks and Adams had great match-ups and scored about 17 points between them [emoji35]

 

[Tony Towner]

Wilson and the Seahawks defence comfortably beat the Eagles. Wentz left 3 TDs on the field, but the better side one. Rams in LA next week a massive game now, lose that and home field advantage likely to be blown

I took Lynch out for Theilen. Would have won me the week, instead I finish 4th.

 

[James]

I had a good week this week. My tactic of picking anyone who's going against the browns seems to be working.

Vikings move to 10-2 after an impressive win at Atlanta, no touhdowns allowed and Keenum was superb again. Rhodes kept Julio Jones down to 24 yards which is very impressive. Almost starting to get my hopes up over here!

You were very good. Kind of made me feel a bit ambivalent about the rest of the season as even we do make the playoffs (eagles losing to seahawks hasn’t helped) we won’t get anywhere.

Maybe if Trufant had played we could have restricted your offence enough to get more of a shot, but we just couldn’t get anything going ourselves consistently in the run or pass game. Not sure if you have played, or due to play, the Eagles, Rams or Saints. But if your defence can shut them down then I’d be optimistic! You have enough on offence to get it done with your defence just completely shutting down the opposition.

We kept the Rams to 7 points a few weeks back when we beat them. Saints we beat week 1 but they’re better now I would say. Panthers next up.

Need to keep this going to avoid that wooden spoon!

 

[Tony Towner]

Eli back as starter post sacking. A save your job play that massively backfired

 

[James]

I’ll be happy with 5th after those back to back 6’s

 

[PuntsWolf]

Made the awful decision to be awake when TNF starts. Kamara potentially out with a concussion after first drive. Both offences looking dangerous, Julio monstrous already. This is going to be a good one!

 

[Tony Towner]

Good win for the Falcons, cracks the league back open. Would suit me for the Panthers to win it as the Eagles have the head to head on them.

 

[Tony Towner]

Despite my fantasy form being poor at the moment, I've entered my first none TWF competition.

 

[The Bear]

Good luck. For money?

I usually enter the $1 multilpiers where the top 9 win $3. The max number of players in these is 31 so it's basically a 1 in 3 chance of winning, which is better odds than any other competition I've seen on there.

I enter the $0.25 games just t see how I do against the other 30,000 entering. Won a few bucks but never in the top 20. Won a few dollars on the $1 games too.

I think they're all good fun.
