The NFL Thread

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

Watching KC Chiefs v Patriots. Much better game than the other 500 NFL games I've seen while here in Florida. They bloody love football here. College football is on 24/7. It's awful. So many stoppages. Unwatchable.

 

[Tony Towner]

Sounds like a great game. Seems that there's been more shootouts this year which is reflected in the points needed to win a Fantasy week. Last year 130ish would have done it most weeks, this year is 160+

 

[James]

11 sacks by the ravens in a 21-0 shut out win.

Interesting article, I don't think I agree with it in its entirety. I do think even a losing franchise would get sell outs or very close to it, but may well be like the Chargers in LA in terms of home/away balance. I do agree that you are a couple of decades down the line before the London Jaguars would be properly embraced over here.

Two or three games per year is a novelty that sells out Wembley. 8 games per year is too much for people IMO. You'll probably sell out half that then it'll drop off. Though I imagine there'd still be enough people at every game to make it financially viable.

Punts forgot to enter a team...

 

[James]

Punts forgot to enter a team...

Gotcha, easily done tbf. I missed 3 last year

 

[Johnny75]

Punts forgot to enter a team...

And he's still top!

Goff had a stinker in fantasy terms which is my 3rd QB choice in a row. I'm going for a lucky dip approach for next week I think.

 

[The Bear]

Punts isn't still top...

 

[PuntsWolf]

Won’t be letting it happen again! Lost $20 in some tournaments as well to add To my pain. Calvin Ridley getting injured in the first quarter and Mike Evans doing next to nothing hurt me

 

[Tony Towner]

Not had my invite through again, would you mind resending please Bear

 

[The Bear]

Done

 

[Tony Towner]

Cheers

I'm sorely tempted to pick Mike Glennon this week to free up money elsewhere. Can't be 100% sure he'll play though. And I sure ain't picking Peterman!

 

[Tony Towner]

I nearly picked Bortles one week before coming to my senses before it was too late.

 

[James]

I’ve got 2 provisional cheap players in Calloway of cleveland ($4,300) & Taylor of the titans ($3,800)

 

[darlowolf64]

I picked a team and was delighted with it and still had a few hundred dollars in the bank... I pressed the button to join the league and it crashed, whole team lost and now I can't remember most of the players I'd picked so I'm left with a team I'm "meh" about :icon_neutral:

 

[The Bear]

I've done that plenty too Mike. Mainly because my DraftKings app likes to keep telling me I'm not in the UK then crash whilst I'm trying to do my team.
