Well done Punts. Well deserved, and never finished below 4th in any week.

God knows how I managed to come 2nd in the points. I was the only player never to have a 1st place. Just call me Steady Eddie.

Cheers for playing everyone. Looking forward to next season already!

Well done Punts.

I was feast or famine this season. I really enjoy this format as it's a welcome break from H2H.

Saints will win it all (I hope).

 

[Deano]

I really like what the Saints did yesterday. They went 14-0 down at home, didn't panic and made some real gutsy calls to get themselves back into the game.

Following the Vikings I have seen them countless times find themselves down in games only to carry on with their conservative style and not even look like finding a way to win. Examples; Down 14-0 in the first quarter at the Eagles 5 on 4&1 a more conservative team kicks the field goal and puts some points on the board thinking there's a long way to go but the Saints went for it and scored the TD. Another time was the fake punt where they got another first down while they were behind - they were losing and made brave decisions to swing the game back in their favour.

 

[Tony Towner]

The fake punt changed the momentum of the game. If that had failed and the ball turned over on downs then that would have been an Eagles field goal at the least and I don't think the Saints come back from that. Big, ballsy call.

 

[Tony Towner]

Well done Punts and thanks Bear for running. It was fun even though I've been poor

 

[James]

Well done punts you blitzed us all.

If I hadn’t missed that week I’d have been 5th on both. Stunned I took 5th in the weekly table.

Hoping for more players next year

 

[PuntsWolf]

Thanks. Was good fun. Be good if we can get some more involvement next year too

 

[darlowolf64]

Well done Punts, really good fun and I'll be back next season

John DeFilippo to the Jags as OC. Can see Foles following him there

 

[Johnny75]

Bear, the league has posted an invite. I think it might be a good idea for a brief one off. Two groups of 3, best score from each goes through to the Superbowl?

 

[The Bear]

I'll take a look see what the crack is.

Was a poor OC for the Vikings. Some of it would definitely been down to the tragic O-Line but I didn't see much in the way of any creativity with him running the offence.

 

[James]

Ive put mine in because why not

Yeah go on then sounds alright.

Top 3 and Bottom 3 in the points table for each "conference"? Can't really think of a fairer way to do it.

 

[Johnny75]

Sounds good to me.

 

[The Bear]

I'm in.

This is what I was on about for next season as a head to head

A play off style top seed vs bottom seed, second seed vs fifth seed and third vs fourth would have worked as a head to head...

 

[The Bear]

I thought of that but then you'd have three going through to the final.
