The NFL Thread

NFLUK have now set up an official ticket exchange on TicketMaster for people to re-sell tickets at face value. Worth checking on there periodically.

Here's the email I got.

Decent first touch in NFL for Christian Wade

He can only be on the practice squad for this year whatever happens. His big shot will be next year when the Bills aren't gonna have Frank Gore and Lesean McCoy.

He can only be on the practice squad for this year whatever happens. His big shot will be next year when the Bills aren't gonna have Frank Gore and Lesean McCoy.

Why? Most teams keep at least 3 and often 4 RBs on their roster and with that kind of exposure who's to say he'd get through waivers.

 

[Dire Wolf]

He's not eligible to make the 53 man roster this year and can't be claimed off the practice squad by any other team. He's at the Bills for this year but only as an additional player to their practice squad. They can then elevate him to the 53 man roster if they wish next year.

Here's the explanation:

[Tony Towner]

Thanks for that. He's already old for a RB, although I appreciate that's because of the workload he's not experienced, shame he doesn't have a shot this year if he were to prove good enough

Just had notifications of my DraftKings leagues renewing, ready for the new season on Thursday Sep 6th.

Thought I'd guage interest in plenty of time.

Are all the below still in?

TWF North
Punts.
Darlo.
Johnny.

TWF South
Bear
James
Tony


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

Maybe Paddy and/or Deutsch want to join in this season? Anyone else is welcome too if they fancy a go. It's all just a bit of fun, so no pressure to play.

 

[Tony Towner]

I'm in. All those that are into their NFL like Pompey and Dire should get involved. It's 5 minutes of your time, doesn't cost you money, you can change your team every week and is a bit of fun. Keep the same format though Bear

 

[PuntsWolf]

In

 

[The Bear]

I'll have a crack.

Cool. Welcome.

You'll need a DraftKings account and add you on there as a friend so I can invite you to the league.

 

[Johnny75]

I'm in

I would like to but I will pass this season. Looked at the work order book for the autumn and we look like being crazy busy so taking on something else I have to remember is probably unwise.

No problem Pad. If you fancy joining in at any point I can always add you in, just to get a feel for the game.

 

[The Bear]

Created the account. Username metal_warrior.

Invite sent

 

[Pompey Wolf]

Yeah I’ll give it a go, will create an account this evening.

 

[James]

Bear, would probably be better when we getting going properly to start a new thread in the predictions part of the forum to save this one getting clogged up
