How come there's a game tonight?

 

[James]

You should check up on some of the terminology James, most weeks you pick at least one player who is ruled out. IR for instance means Injured Reserve so your QB wasn't ever going to play on Sunday.

Yeah I rushed my picks last second as I’d forgot to do it

 

[Johnny75]

I've gone a bit all or nothing today.

Will probably end of 3rd or 4th again.

 

[PuntsWolf]

If McCoy has a big game I’m might cry. Took him out at the last minute to redistribute he wealth

 

[PuntsWolf]

And he’s just scored a TD...

 

[Carrotdude]

2 now...

 

[The Bear]

Ah shit. I forgot to put my team in! I did my other one but forgot this.

 

[darlowolf64]

Ah shit. I forgot to put my team in! I did my other one but forgot this.

Ha ha ha... I was just going to ask how you managed to set the competition up but not enter your team!

 

[The Bear]

I have my team in the one I do with the other lads I go to the London games with. Just forgot to transfer it over to ours.

I had Nick Foles too

 

[Alan]

We aren't going to agree on this, but you are so, so wrong [emoji6]. Assuming this injury doesn't cause any long term damage Wentz will go on to be an all time Eagles great, Foles will only ever be the guy who had a good breakthrough season, but ultimately was traded for Sam Bradford and his glass knees.

Off to a good start... :icon_wink:

 

[Tony Towner]

Off to a good start... :icon_wink:

Been out all night on some Xmas shit so didn't see the game or read my usual sites, but without reading up then 4 TD's then absolutely fair play, the D seems to have gone to rat shit though which is bizarre.

On a separate note Brady and then Ben Ben have shown what a top QB can do. Edit Pats have won, because yet again the marginal call goes their way. For me it's a TD.

 

[The Bear]

What the actual fuck has just happened at the end of the Patriots game? An incomplete pass call that is utter bullshit. If he's broken the plane if shouldn't matter IMO. Utter shite. I can see why people hate the Patriots and call them the Cheatriots.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Well if you’ve got a team in just use that?

 

[Tony Towner]

It just happens time after time, he caught that ball. Now they have home team advantage and the AFC team will win the SB. Brown being crocked adds to the problem though.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Cost me shed loads of fantasy points too!

 

[Alan]

What the actual $#@! has just happened at the end of the Patriots game? An incomplete pass call that is utter bull$#@!. If he's broken the plane if shouldn't matter IMO. Utter $#@!e. I can see why people hate the Patriots and call them the Cheatriots.

I hate the Pats but by the letter of the law the referees made the correct call.

 

[Carrotdude]

Yeah, because he wasn’t a runner at that point he had to complete the catch for it to count and as it came out when he went to ground it doesn’t matter that it broke the plane

 

[Dire Wolf]

It's a stupid rule. He had it in 2 hands all the way. No-one in their right mind would say he didn't catch it.

 

[Carrotdude]

In the eyes of the nfl, when you hit the ground it’s part of the catching process so if the ball comes loose it doesn’t count.

Other controversial rule came into play for Derek Carr as he fumbled in the end zone when he was reaching for the pylon which means the opposition got possession whereas if he fumbled out of bounds they would still have had the ball

 

[PuntsWolf]

How many points you get Bear? Did I win!?
