The NFL Thread

[James]

I don't know the rules but I may give a go as I love my NFL.

At least the Skins immediately scored a touchdown with the backup QB.

I know how the game works and the offside sort of but the play types confuse me apart from a run and a throw.

I know the rules of football you spanner! I meant the rules of Bear's game.

Skins into the lead. Do it for the gipper...

Brilliant TD catch in the Lions game. Absolutely outstanding.

 

[The Bear]

You're more than welcome Pad. It's fairly easy, just standard fantasy scoring with PPR (point per reception).

If you fancy a go at any point you can always join in with us to get familiar with it and then I can stick you in the league standings next season. You need a DraftKings account though as it's all done on there.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I have no idea what one of those is, but I am sure I can find out.

 

[The Bear]

DraftKings is just a fantasy website/app that let's you pick your team and automatically does all the scoring.

https://www.draftkings.co.uk

I find the app easier to navigate and use personally.

Fractured fibia + tibia for Smith.

Ouch.

 

[Tony Towner]

Frank Reich is the real deal. Look at what's happened to the Eagles offense after he left and what he's now doing at the Colts.

Ouch.

It was gruesome to watch. Awful break. Hopefully see him next season, but similar was Theismann done sadly.

At his age I'd be totally shocked if he doesn't retire. Hell, even if he was young, that type of break is a career ender.

Ohhhhhhh... fantasy football basically. I don’t get what half the stuff means but am slowly picking it up. It can be very addictive at times but Punts is really good at it

Paddy if you want to learn the game or help point me in the right direction I’m happy for your input.

Rams vs Chiefs 54 - 51 with 14 touch downs damn

I saw the score and was looking forward to a Gurley masterclass and he had a very quiet game. Hill's 215yds and 2 TD's is a belter of a return.

 

[The Bear]

I stayed up and watched it. Awesome game. Mahomes had a pick and fumble that turned into a Def TD, that made the difference.

 

[James]

I recorded it and watched it this morning what a blooming game

 

[Carrotdude]

Mahomes managed 6 TDs and 3 interceptions!

 

[Tony Towner]

Mahomes managed 6 TDs and 3 interceptions!

And 2 fumbles

I know this is really sad and hate myself for it, but my points should be 35, not 31.
