The NFL Thread

[Giggles]

It's working now though :drool:

42" Brett Hundley :(

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That's a magnificent catch from Harris.

I'd challenge, he was in.

[Giggles]

I wanted to get it this season (I did get 2 or 3 trials to watch preseason games) but no Amazon Fire or PS4 app made it too shit.

They really need an Android TV app too because casting is always the main issue I have with it. A simple app for the TV Play Store would cut out the middle man.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Yeah, that was a brilliant catch.

[Dan]

Stafford off to a great start then.

[Pleb]

Dan :cool:

Bills are all over the place here.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fair play to the Bills fans, sort of.

Imagine that in football? You'd never see the player again.

[Gray Fox]

I'm very impressed with the Saints turnaround this year. They have everything on offense and have majorly sorted defensive issues. Only their corners now are a bit iffy.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Lol at the Lions letting Britt score a TD.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'm very impressed with the Saints turnaround this year. They have everything on offense and have majorly sorted defensive issues. Only their corners now are a bit iffy.

Bar Lattimore.

[Gray Fox]

Shame on me for forgetting Lattimore then.

[igor_balis]

grabbing the face mask seems like such a stupid thing to do when it's 15 yards and 1st down. am i being unfair?

[Gray Fox]

If you're certain of conceding a TD then sure, anything to give the D another chance, but in midfield it's moronic.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Corey Grant :drool:

It's better when he's not doing it to your team.

[Dan]

Bar Lattimore.

Ken Crawley is pretty good too, although he can't tackle & he's pretty physical so he does give up a few penalties.


Corey Grant :drool:

It's better when he's not doing it to your team.

My boy :cool:

[Dan]

Ingram :drool: I'm not against him in TTH this week, am I?

EDIT: Yep, of course I am :D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Nice of Fitz and McCown to exchange picks.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Lol at the Bears challenge.

Out at 5, challenge and it's called a fumble and touchback to give Packers the ball.

[Dan]

Daniel Lasco taken off in an ambulance :(

In lighter news, Vontaze Burfict has been ejected :D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Burfict ejected? I'm stunned.

[Foe]

The steelers need to wake the fuck up.

What did burfict actually do? None of the replays showed him anywhere near any officials.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

He was making money signs to the opposing fans whilst walking off too.

He's such a cock.

[Dan]

Dalton lost his second fumble of the game - I fucking hate fantasy football sometimes :D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

The steelers need to wake the fuck up.

What did burfict actually do? None of the replays showed him anywhere near any officials.
It was after the play, they didn't show it.

He also committed a really late challenge right before that play for his first personal foul flag.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

929788865061314560

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

How did Thielen hold onto that?

Ban leapfrog plz.

[Dan]

Thielen is a beast.

[Foe]

Thielen is a beast.
It's brilliant because thielen and diggs are out playing first round pick laquan treadwell.

Must be frustrating when the pay cheques get dished out, mind.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Browns :cab:

[Dan]

It was only ever going to end that way :D

[Foe]

Keenum is such a good backup QB.

The vikings are so likeable too.

[Giggles]

Keenum is such a good backup QB.

The vikings are so likeable too.

They really aren't. I'm crossing the fingers for a Thielen ACL.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It's brilliant because thielen and diggs are out playing first round pick laquan treadwell.

Must be frustrating when the pay cheques get dished out, mind.

Not hard though.

I've been outplaying Treadwell for most of his career.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fucking lol at the Steelers.

[Foe]

Pittsburg :moop:

[Dan]

Have the Colts & Steelers defences swapped uniforms?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Kamara :wub:

[Dan]

I'm glad we're kicking the shit out of the Bills. it's the only thing that's masking the misery of this week in TTH.

[Dan]

Josh Doctson :D

Jamison Crowder needs to learn how to catch too.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I find it strange seeing the Titans give carries to their corner back Adoree Jackson.

More so that he's actually damn good at running the ball.

[Foe]

Adoree Jackson is just an elite athlete.

He can play both ways in NFL, long jumper and wouldn't be a terrible sprinter either. Just one of those Swiss Army knife kind of players.

[Foe]

That little slut just stole my chat.

[Dan]

I saw that :D

We're so good at running the ball now that Drew Brees just ran around Russell Wilson style for a 7yd TD.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Stealing from female sideline reporters? Classy.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Anyway, Marquise Goodwin is better at Long Jumping than Jackson.

He actually went to the Olympics and reached the final (finished 10th), but Jackson clearly edges the football side of their rivalry.

[Dan]

BROWN QB SWAP TIME!

Admittedly this time it's due to an injury, but Kessler's in either way.

[Giggles]

Those 'athletes' never last too long.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Those 'athletes' never last too long.

Adoree Jackson does look incredibly handy but yeah, they don't usually do that well in the league.

Goodwin for instance qualified for the Olympics at the US trials with a jump that would have beat Rutherford in 2012 and he finished as the join highest in qualifying at the Olympics but his NFL career has been absolute shit.

[Dan]

Good to see Scott Tolzein's in to throw the game away for Indy.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Cousins :lol:

Edit: That's coming back for a Cousins TD. FUCK.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That's Hundley's best pass ever and he'll never be able to beat it.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

You've now got randomers suiting up for the Saints and rushing for TDs.

[Dan]

If Drew Brees can do it then we can pretty much roll anyone out there.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I know that Fournette has been bottled up today but only giving him 12 carries is criminal.

Bortles wont win you games, Fournette will.

lol at the Chargers.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I bet they give it to Bortles and he throws another pick.

[Dan]

What a miserable onside kick that was in Washington.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Marqise Lee :D

What a fucking mong.

[Dan]

The sun got in his brain, nevermind his eyes.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Bortles :D

Fucking knew it.

Rancid player, well done Marrone for throwing the game away.

[Dan]

I bet they give it to Bortles and he throws another pick.

Played :hat:

[Foe]

Bortles is not getting that 5th year option. He's getting cut and he's going to be a backup somewhere. You just can't trust him.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Bortles is not getting that 5th year option. He's getting cut and he's going to be a backup somewhere. You just can't trust him.

And yet Marrone did.

They barely ran the ball in the second half despite it being a close game. Fournette had only 12 carries (yes he was ineffective but he's done that in games before but chips away at a defence) with like 1 or 2 coming in the second half.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Okay so the Jaguars have run 41 plays in the second half and counting (not including punts), 3 have been rushes by Fournette the rest were passes/rushes/sacks taken by Bortles.

[Giggles]

Bosa is an idiot.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Biggest point deficit they face in the second half was 7 but most of the second half was spent at a tie so it really makes no sense at all.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That was the only way that the Jags were going to win.

Commentator was waiting all game to say that.

[Pleb]

Woof in the Jags game.

That flag :D holy shit :roflol:

[Dan]

OH BOUYE! :moop:

[Giggles]

I love the Jags making cunts of you all :cool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Tipped slightly but still goes through, woof.

[Pleb]

Lambo :cool:

[Giggles]

Meow.

Baaaaa?

[Dan]

I love the Jags making cunts of you all :cool:

We literally all picked them to win in the Pick'em :)

[Gray Fox]

That was missing before the tip too. Great stuff :D

[Dan]

The guy who got the INT for Dallas is called Xavier Woods?

[Pleb]

Holy shit the Giants are actually doing something.

[Dan]

Not sure why Jared Goff checked to a play where Cooper Kupp had to block Jadeveon Clowney, but it ended up exactly as you'd expect.

[Gray Fox]

The guy who got the INT for Dallas is called Xavier Woods?

He's probably fucked Paige too, to be fair.

[Ian]

She's not just some slut, you know.

Or at least (possibly) not for people who aren't pro wrestlers.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

He's probably fucked Paige too, to be fair.

It seems that most American males have been through her.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Goodwin was obviously going to score today after I talked about his long jumping abilities so much earlier.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I could tackle better than the Giants secondary.

There was nothing on that TD.

[Dan]

There's the obligatory TD for whichever TE plays the Giants :D

Goodwin injured too though, but hopefully he'll be back in the game.

[Dan]

Chaz Green is playing on a treadmill that only goes backwards.

[Dan]

Tom Savage is a jammy motherfucker.

EDIT: Nevermind, he's falling apart now.

[Dan]

San Fran :cool:

The Giants are total garbage, as is whoever's been trying to block Adrian Clayborn today for the Cowboys.

[Browning]

How are the Giants this bad?

Or are they just better than the Niners at throwing a season?

[Dan]

How many times do I have to tell you to fuck off Matt Breida! :mad:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Only one to predict the Niners to win? Swish.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000876296/article/49ers-marquise-goodwin-plays-following-sons-death

Holy shit. I have no idea how he managed to suit up.

[Gray Fox]

I did wonder why he was down in the end zone like that. No way I'd have been able to play hours after that.

[Dan]

That’s awful :( Unbelievable that he still played & it makes the win & his contribution even more memorable.

[Ian]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNnZkcaiONI

:(

[Giggles]

Would his wife not have needed him more than the 49ers?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000876534/article/adrian-clayborns-six-sacks-earned-750k-pay-day

Clayborn who has never had more than 7.5 sacks in a season had a $750k bonus for getting 8 in a season. The 6 he got against Chaz Green saw him take home the bonus.

He should send him some of that.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

930152294636838912

He really doesn't get the credit he deserves, easily a top 10 corner in the league when he's healthy.

[Gray Fox]

So the Bills response to getting thumped by the Saints? Benching Tyrod Taylor.
We knew the higher ups dont like him anyway but still, that loss was all on the defence. They couldn't get the ball back.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I really don't get the Bills backroom.

They're in the hunt for a wildcard spot with Tyrod doing his thing and now they turn it over.

It's no mystery why they've been so shit over the years.

[Dan]

I have Tyrod in two leagues :moop:

I better news, the Blaine Train is officially about to leave the station. It’s probably perching on the edge of a canyon, but I’m still considering picking him up in place of Taylor for the lols in one league.

Can’t be any worse that Stanton, surely?

[Dan]

Week 10 Pick'em wasn't even close...

Me - 9pts
Sir Andy Mahowry - 12pts
Browning - 12pts
Pleb - 17pts :cool:

Won it by nailing Jimmy Graham as the top TE. I decided to exclude Freeman from the scoring given he left almost immediately, and there weren't exactly a lot of points to be scored in that bit.

I'll do week 11 later.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

Losing my win streak :(

[Gray Fox]

I might embarrass myself at it this week.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Stunned that I lost considering I didn't have the Ravens in there to muddy my picks.

[Browning]

I’m taking that as a victory over Mahow as I knew Freeman would do fuck all.

Would have picked Graham too if I wasn’t being lazy on Thursday. Oh well.

[Foe]

Tyrod is benched for Nathan peterman.

Good move from a team pushing for the playoffs.

[Gray Fox]

Tyrod is benched for Nathan peterman.

Good move from a team pushing for the playoffs.

Those upstairs in Buffalo clearly don't like Tyrod. They said as much towards the end of last season, but couldn't replace him. I don't get it either. He's not a top tier QB but he's good. He also has them in play-off contention for the first time in years.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I’m taking that as a victory over Mahow as I knew Freeman would do fuck all.

Would have picked Graham too if I wasn’t being lazy on Thursday. Oh well.

He would have scored a TD had it not been for the dirty Cowboys players.

Fuck Jerry Hitler.

[Foe]

Add them to the list in the QB hunt.

That's it with a QB though, if they don't think you can get them a Super Bowl, you're not the answer.

I suspect Mr Winston in Tampa Bay might get to that in a year or two time. He's like a regen of Alex smith in that regard for me.

[Dan]

Nah, Koetter's getting the boot at the end of the year & Gruden will come back to coaching just to work with Jameis.

[Giggles]

Winston needs something to change anyway. He's a year off dumping.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I agree with Dan.

The Hard Knocks this season made Gruden look so positive and giddy about Winston.

[Foe]

He's obviously got some talent and he's the right personality to lead the team, but he's not backing that up with wins and play.

I think fitz will show him up until he's back.

Id like him to succeed, because he's great to watch from a neutral stand point.

[Dan]

Week 11 Pick'em has a much more interesting slate of games than last week, with several potential GotW candidates, but we've done Dallas a lot, and Washington last week recently, so it's back to the Patriots! That game being in Mexico makes it worth edging the Seattle/Atlanta game out for the spot, I reckon.

Lead them where, exactly?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fuck her right in the pussy is also a great thing to shout in a College cafeteria.

Real leadership qualities.

[Gray Fox]

Zeke has withdrawn his appeal and will serve the full 6 games.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Would his wife not have needed him more than the 49ers?

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000877775/article/marquise-goodwin-wifes-selflessness-helped-me-play

"It was definitely her decision for me to go," Goodwin said Wednesday. "I gave her the option: Did she want me to go to the game or stay at the hospital with her? And she insisted that I go and play with my team and get a victory. So it was very selfless of her to allow me go and do something like that.

"... Her insisting that I go and do something else instead of being by her side at a time when she needed me most, [it] speaks volumes about her character. A lot less about me and more about her. Her resiliency and her willingness to be so selfless and allow me to go and do my job -- words really can't explain."

He also didn't tell any of his teammates until after the game.

[Ian]

I saw that he didn't tell them and it made sense when you saw one or two clearly running up to see why he was celebrating the way he was.

[Dan]

Zeke has withdrawn his appeal and will serve the full 6 games.

Is it really over?

[Pleb]

GAME OF THE WEEK: Patriots v Raiders. Over/under 49.5pts. - The AFC conference in general looks garbage. The Patriots have overcome a slump (lolasif) for the first few weeks of the season and the Raiders are in for a decent shout at a shot for a playoff spot which is batshit mental if you ask me. That being said the league is in Mexico City this week so expect the Patriots to lol in the Raiders face while two teams in the AFC South take the last two wildcard spots.

(Thursday Night) Titans v Steelers - Did you hear my speech towards the Patriots Pittsburgh? Your facing the Texans on Thursday night though and I can only assume and hope that Big Ben is pretty good under the primetime lights. Expect fireworks.
Saints v Redskins - Kirk Cousins doesn't like this pick. Saints are on a massive charge. This can only get messy.
Lions v Bears - Garbage.
Jags v Browns - The Jaguars are in a playoff spot? Holy shit. Back to the matchup in hand...uh...Browns, garbage, easy win. No wonder Sackonville are doing so well in such a garbage conference...uh...division.
Bengals v Broncos - This is a fist fight...I mean a coin toss.
Bills v Chargers - Hold the fort Bills, you got an easy win here. Oh your benching your star quarterback huh? This will be messy.
Chiefs v Giants - Someone wake me up when this is over.
Ravens v Packers - Christ sake Packers get yourself a decent team in the draft for the love of my sanity. This maybe the only time I back Mahow and now I feel proper dirty.
Bucs v Dolphins - Joy we got ourselves a Florida derby in town. Shame both teams are complete garbage. Expect this to go into overtime because DRAMA!!!
Rams v Vikings - Uh yeah sure them. This one will probably be garbage.
Cardinals v Texans - Not feeling this one. Expect this to be garbage.
(Sunday Night) Eagles v Cowboys - It's happened, the football gods have spoken. Dallas Cowboys are fucked. Add Carson Wentz and Zach Ertz (if he's fit) in the mix to add insult to injury and you got yourself a matchup. At least the Cowboys have got Ezekiel Elliott back for the playoffs right...right?
(Monday Night) Falcons v Seahawks - Expect fireworks, pick sixes and a team who likes to blow healthy first half leads heading into the fourth quarter. Russell Wilson is in town Atlanta, throw him a party for party sakes.

#1 QB: Tyrod Taylor...wait he's benched...shit...uh...Alex Smith because he's facing the Giants.
#1 RB: Kareem Hunt because he's Kareem and we believe in him.
#1 WR: Doug Baldwin...and now I've jinxed him :moop:
#1 TE: Zach Ertz
#1 DST: Baltimore Ravens because god damn it Mahow you had to pick a great moment to face the Packers didn't you?

LeSean McCoy will score: Uh...5 points.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Doesn't feel right having everyone (thus far) backing the Ravens.

12-3 coming off a Bye though for a LEAGUE BEST and it is fucking Hundley.

[Dan]

Extra players :cool:

I’ll be backing the Ravens too, so it’s bound to be a crushing win for the Packers.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Dede Westbrook expects 200 yards receiving on his debut.

[Dan]

Man, my fantasy team hopes you guys are right with your #1 player picks - Brown, Hunt & Carr all in there :drool:

Guess I'd better get mine it too...

Game of the Week: Patriots v Raiders. Over/under 49.5pts. - I really wanted to go under, but neither of these teams can defend (Pats have got better though, to be fair). I hope it's a shootout, but I just can't trust the Raiders to come out of this one with a win.

Titans v Steelers - Lots of running here, I feel. Might be quite a few deep throws too. Should be good, but the Steelers will edge it.
Saints v Redskins - I'm waiting for the loss. This could easily be it, but they have no reliable offence & we could win 24-17ish.
Lions v Bears - Probably closer than you'd expect, but the offences are the difference, particularly at QB & WR.
Jags v Browns - Just following the formula...
Bengals v Broncos - This could (will) be an atrocious game, but the Broncos are a mess right now.
Eagles v Cowboys - Great game to watch young, stud QBs, but Philly should take it unless the bye ruined them.
Bills v Chargers - Has anyone considered that this could be Nathan Peterman v Kellen Clemens? Ugh. Bosa to tear them up.
Chiefs v Giants - Gonna take a gamble here. KC have slipped off, and the Giants still have enough to be able to nick it of they show up.
Ravens v Packers - Gotta love the Ravens defence here. That's about all though. Should be GB/Bears all over again.
Bucs v Dolphins - Probably not a good game, but there's shootout potential. Jameis can watch his team eat an L.
Rams v Vikings - Another one I'm taking a swing at - Rams have been great, but the Vikings can give them a game in every phase.
Cardinals v Texans - Gabbert's playing.
Falcons v Seahawks - This might end up being the hardest game to call this week. Wilson magic to make the difference.

#1 QB: Russell Wilson - He's always got a chance it a potential shootout.
#1 RB: Lev Bell - Why not take a punt on a guy who gets 30 touches a game?
#1 WR: DeVante Parker - This isn't quite as bold as Sammy Watkins last week, but it's close.
#1 TE: Jared Cook - Kelce's too easy, and Cook's been playing well lately.
#1 DST: Chargers - Peterman probably won't throw a load of picks, but he probably won't lead many scoring drives either.

LeSean McCoy will score: 11pts - He's still a freak, and he gets peppered with touches. He'll find a way.

[Browning]

Game of the Week: Patriots v Raiders. Over/under 49.5pts.- Patriots, Over

Titans v Steelers- I desperately need this to be a utter shoot out, preferably with no rushing TDs and all passing TDs (though if they go to Bell, even better). Steelers to win.
Saints v Redskins- Saints are on a roll, so I'll pick them.
Lions v Bears- Lions, of course.
Jags v Browns- Jags.
Bengals v Broncos- This one is actually tough because the Broncos look SO bad but the Bengals do too. Broncos to shade it.
Eagles v Cowboys- Eagles, Dak can't stay on his feet.
Bills v Chargers- Chargers, by a long way.
Chiefs v Giants- No contest. Chiefs.
Ravens v Packers- Ravens.... I guess, but I'm not happy about it.
Bucs v Dolphins- With Fitzmagic at QB? The Bucs.
Rams v Vikings- Rams
Cardinals v Texans- Ugh, do we have to? Cardinals....
Falcons v Seahawks- Seahawks.

#1 QB: Tom Brady
#1 RB: TODD GURLEY of course.
#1 WR: Antonio Brown
#1 TE: Travis Kelce
#1 DST: The Jaguars.

Shady will score.... 8 points.

[Dan]

Browning & Limoutsonik have the exact same game picks. Don't think we've had that before. They also have three of the same position picks :sherlock:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfmgmWOUBCU

I call collusion!

[Browning]

Really? That's fucking weird. Last week I copied Dan's picks into word and edited them and felt like it influenced me too much so this week I made a point of scrolling back to find the blank post to copy. Guy obviously just knows his football.

Lead them where, exactly?

He’s now under investigation for groping an Uber driver last year. Also didn’t realise he’d been accused of rape in 2012.

Franchise QB right there.

[Gray Fox]

So the question is do they return for another crack at the Franchise QB in 2018 or 2019?

[Gray Fox]

There are also rumours swirling of Peyton Manning coming in at Cleveland. They own 2 picks in the top 10 R1 of the coming draft currently. They should trade back a little and gain more R1 picks for the future, but should still have 2 top picks with which one will almost certainly be a QB.
Surely Manning will be a better judge of a potential QB.

[Giggles]

As what, GM?

[Gray Fox]

Yeah, though Hue Jackson probably wont last to 2018 in any case so expect a new coach too. I don't see Peyton taking up coaching.

[Giggles]

Would inject a bit of life there at least.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Genuinely thought that Peyton would be suiting up for one last ride.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

[Foe]

The Browns throwing money at a veteran qb who's well past it would be an idiotic move. They're out of the playoff hunt and it's not a long term solution. Test your team to find out who the guys to keep are and give them experience and re group in the draft / free agency.

On a side note, college gameday is in Wisconsin and it's fucking freezing there. Reckon we could be close to some snow games. :youpi:

[Dan]

The fumble that just happened in the Arizona/Mississippi State game :D

[Dan]

Just watched the USC/UCLA game to get a look at Darnold & Rosen. I've seen a little bit of USC before, but I don't think I've watched any UCLA this season, so this is the ideal chance to see them both in action.

For me, despite the loss, Rosen looked like a better QB than Darnold, although USC are working with a bunch of new WRs that don't always help Sam Darnold out, and the UCLA guys made about ten huge gains off short catch & run plays. The USC special teams made a big difference, with a TD & lots of big gains to set them up in good field position.

Rosen has a nice arm & impressive accuracy - almost every throw hit the receiver exactly where you'd want it to, including a few deep balls that were right in stride. Darnold's more athletic, and his arm talent is as good as Rosen's, but he's not as accurate & he gets out the pocket every second play, which more often than not results in him slinging it downfield while running out of bounds under pressure.

As for other guys, Jordan Lasley had a monster game for UCLA, with something like 200 yards & 3TDs, and he looks like a decent WR2 with great acceleration & run after the catch ability, while on the other side of the ball Ronald Jones looks like a stud. He wears 25, and he pulled off a jump cut in the backfield early in the game that was proper Shady material. Quick, can run inside & out, good catcher, he was impressive when I watched USC before & I'd say he's the second or third best RB in the class, depending on what I think of Derrius Guice when I actually watch him properly.

He's probably a stronger runner than Saquon Barkley, which is mad considering Barkley's size & physical strength, and RoJo's almost as good as him in most other areas, but Saquon just has the spark of a superstar, even if it's hard to produce superstar numbers when every team sends four guys out to get you on every play regardless of whether you have the ball or not.

[Dan]

Sterling Shepard likely out due to illness. I’m officially changing my pick in that game - can’t see the Giants pulling off an upset with only Evan Engram to throw to.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I didn't even see that, you picked the Giants to win?

Were you completely hammered at the time?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I didn't even see that, you picked the Giants to win?

Were you completely hammered at the time?

[Dan]

I was taking a gamble based on the Chiefs defence being shit & the Giants still having a decent enough D-Line to shut down Kareem Hunt, but with Shepard out there's only one good receiver for Eli to throw to, and Snacks Harrison might be out too, so they'll have less against the run than anticipated as well.

Considering three people will probably get 5pts for picking Antonio Brown I should really change all my picks to the underdogs, but that's a bit too drastic to work out.

[Gray Fox]

The Browns throwing money at a veteran qb who's well past it would be an idiotic move. They're out of the playoff hunt and it's not a long term solution. Test your team to find out who the guys to keep are and give them experience and re group in the draft / free agency.

I think it's quite smart. Their defence is young and actually pretty good now(bar at CB). It just gets tired due to the offence constantly going 3 and out, or short drives without scoring. Their problem is the other side of the ball. The QB just isn't getting it done. Their RB corps is okay as are their receivers. Josh Gordon should help the latter part.

As for Manning you could probably name the amount people who have played QB better than him ever, on one hand. He should know quite well who has got it and who hasn't. If he doesn't then they're still in the same situation they are now.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000878776/article/breshad-perriman-expected-to-be-inactive-for-ravens

Perriman is going to be a healthy inactive today :drool: Been mooted all week but there was always someone saying 'Oh but it can't happen'.

Completely deserved as he can't catch a damn thing.

I hope this means more for Chris Moore who looks like he could have something about him.

[McAvennie]

As for Manning you could probably name the amount people who have played QB better than him ever, on one hand. He should know quite well who has got it and who hasn't. If he doesn't then they're still in the same situation they are now.

Just because someone is a hall of fame level player doesn't make them a good evaluator of talent - if it did the NFL would be littered with elite ex players at GM or director of player personnel positions, and it isn't. Having said that the second sentence is probably true

An experienced QB maybe, Manning? Nah. If they go down that route snap up someone like Ryan Fitzpatrick / Case Keenum and a young rookie QB in the draft who's got the talent to be elite and let Fitz / Case train him. If he's ready to step in, let him loose.

Not entirely sure what the Browns will go with, but unless that QB is going to be around next year too, it's a waste of time and effort.

[Dan]

It's interesting that they made a play for AJ McCarron. Does it mean they don't fancy any of the guys in the draft, or do they not expect Darnold/Rosen to declare? I find it hard to believe that they actually consider him better than those two guys, although maybe safer due to the ties with Hue. But then if it's all getting blown up again in the offseason does any of it even count for anything?

[Foe]

It's a pretty secure and cheap safety net. Unless the NFL changes its views mccarron still is under contract next year on a cheap salary, so it would've given them 6 months to get him up to speed. In 2018 they would rock with AJ or their chosen QB and at the end of year they can cut him loose if needs be. If AJ showed signs of being the guy, they use the draft choice to trade down and pick up some decent picks and a stud in another position. They could easily trade away the first pick and still pick in the 3-8 range.

Personally, I think the NFL group consensus will effectively tell the Browns where they need to go at QB in the draft.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

No Redzone of the early games because of the ATP next gen tennis finals, the fuck?

Edit: Red button despite a million fucking Sky Sports channels these days which means no HD stream. Gay.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Sir Jimmy 'Top 5 CB' Smith :cool:

[Giggles]

Sir Jimmy 'Top 5 CB' Smith :cool:

Good play there, but let's not get carried away :D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Good play there, but let's not get carried away :D

He's top 5.

The problem, as with all Ravens, has been staying healthy.

[Pleb]

Lattimore looks like he's fucked his ankle there.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Shane Vereen doing his best Brother Eli impression with a pick.

[Dan]

The Giants :harold:

What's happened to Lattimore? :uhoh:

[Pleb]

Brees is getting decimated by the Redskins defence which really is lol.

Ankle looked fucked Dan

[Giggles]

Hundley :face:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Hundley :harold:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Hundley :face:

Already attempted 9 passes with only 2 rushes.

Considering how fucking bad our Run D has been this year, that should be flipped.

[Pleb]

Cutler's having a great day throwing picks in Miami.

[Giggles]

Already attempted 9 passes with only 2 rushes.

Considering how fucking bad our Run D has been this year, that should be flipped.

Packers have no line or RB's, they can't flip it.

Hundley has just no awareness or composure. Might as well try the next guy.

[Dan]

We're doomed. It's all going to fall apart :cry:

[Pleb]

What the fuck are Green Bay wearing? :D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Packers have no line or RB's, they can't flip it.

We let Adoree Jackson, a cornerback, get a 25 yard run in against us a couple of weeks ago.

927236364835340288

Doesn't take much to run against us.

[Giggles]

What the fuck are Green Bay wearing? :D

I was going to reply but the commentator just explained it for you and saved me typing it.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Saints D looks like a shambles again with Lattimore gone.

The Titans have a line though, which is about 80% of the running puzzle.

Apart from the fact that they're mostly shit backups, they're all just not used to running because McCarthy has built everything around passing for years.

[Pleb]

Giants leading is disturbing for my picks.

[Giggles]

I typed that before the commentator spoke about it :sherlock:

I've the other throwback which is much nicer.

[Dan]

Ingram :cool:

Why did we even bother with AP again?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Steelers throwback is still the worst:

:sick:

[Giggles]

This drive shows how the Packers run. Two runs, two yards.

EDIT: And that wasn't the worst bit :D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Peanut :cool:

What a don he is.

Doesn't get enough snaps too as the backroom staff prefer Correa next to Mosley for some stupid reason.

[Dan]

How long until Randall Cobb's playing RB today?

[Giggles]

How long until Randall Cobb's playing RB today?

Maybe QB.

[Dan]

OJ Howard needs to fuck off fast.

[Pleb]

Jordon Howard :drool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Cutler showing his magic.

[Pleb]

He needs to fuck off as well.

[Dan]

Jay's gonna get the cigarettes out in a minute.

Elite.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Flacco trying to make Hundley feel better.

[Dan]

That Ravens/Green Bay game needs a QB of Blaine Gabbert's calibre.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Matt Judon is turning into a fucking animal.

He's come so close so many times on sacks this year so it's nice to see that he has two already today (plus the forced fumble).

[Dan]

Cooper :(

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Trying to ice Justin Tucker :harold:

He has ice pumping through his veins.

[Giggles]

Trying to ice Justin Tucker :harold:

It's a given by every team in every game now.

[Dan]

For a moment I thought Davante Harris had done something good. but it's going to be overturned.

[Giggles]

Both these teams should be allowed to just wrap up the season after this week and look forward to 2018.

[Foe]

Fitzpatrick showing Winston how to play QB here.

Fitz will make tampas season look respectable.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Mike Wallace :drool:

Mike Wallace :drool:

How are you at least two minutes ahead?

[Dan]

It's because I didn't play him.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

How are you at least two minutes ahead?

I'm on RedZone.

But I'm also following it via the team Twitter.

Almost took the old guy's glasses off.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Judon (plus Willie Henry) again :drool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That injury to Cutler must help the Dolphins.

[Dan]

He 'has a concussion' apparently. Had it before the game by the look of his first half showing.

Matt Moore coming in & feeding Jarvis :drool:

[Giggles]

How do you get that call so wrong seeing those replays?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Blaine Train is ploughing right through Houston.

[Dan]

Get him a starting job again.

[Dan]

We're done here.

[Foe]

Blaine Train is ploughing right through Houston.

The browns are going to end up with some tasty first round draft picks.

The saints haven't been very good at all today. That coverage was awful.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

The saints haven't been very good at all today. That coverage was awful.

And they'll pass on all talent to draft shit again.

T-Sizzle with the (possible) strip sack :drool:

[Dan]

Thielen is a baller.

Why did the Chiefs try another non-QB throw? Not only have they seen one fail today, they'd already had one picked off this season :cab:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Kelce isn't a thrower.

[Giggles]

They haven't any backup officials?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Jeremy Sprinkle?

[Dan]

Can we pretend I didn't change my pick? Got it pretty much spot on first time.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

932349894878117888

Our defence is more co-ordinated with a sack dance than our entire offence.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Marlon Humphrey :wub:

[Giggles]

:D fucking hell Hundley.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Kizer :harold:

[Dan]

This has ended up being a much more competitive set of games than you would've expected beforehand.

Shame Connor Barth bottled it.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Kenny Stills is trying to challenge Antonio Brown this week it seems.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Kamara is fucking bonkers.

[Dan]

Alvin Kamara :cool:

If we'd had Lattimore today we'd have won this easily.

[Gray Fox]

Kamara for ROTY?

[Foe]

The Redskins have bottled this. Shame the chiefs are stinking things up too.

[Dan]

It's arguably him or Lattimore, which is mad when you think I'm talking about the NFL ROTY, not just the Saints.

[Foe]

Oh, classic saints defence is back. As you were.

[Dan]

We still can't cover anyone - Crowder just had one all alone which is going to set them up for a game winning FG.

[Pleb]

That intentional grounding :D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That's not normal by Lewis.

[Dan]

What a fantastic catch that is from Roger Lewis. Chiefs have fallen apart since they stopped riding Kareem. Coincidence?

[Dan]

We still can't cover anyone - Crowder just had one all alone which is going to set them up for a game winning FG.

Or not. Vonn Bell coming through :cool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It's arguably him or Lattimore, which is mad when you think I'm talking about the NFL ROTY, not just the Saints.

Yeah, I'd have Kamara for it (offensive), it looked like Hunt would run away with it but he's been on a massive slump or Fournette but his injury has hampered him.

For the defensive side it's looking like Lattimore, Tre'Davious White or TJ Watt at the moment.

Edit: Or Watson for OROTY until he got broken.

[Giggles]

:D 10 point win for Tampa.

[Dan]

Miami LOLphins

Remember when KC were 5-0 & already printing SuperBowl shirts? Now they're 6-4. What a ridiculous collapse. How long before we see Mahomes?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Took 3 pass attempts for Peterman to throw a pick 6.

Played, Bills.

[Pleb]

Giants leading is disturbing for my picks.
:moop:

[Browning]

Peterman decision looks great.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

RedZone is behind, he got picked again.

2 picks (one returned for a TD) within 5 attempts.

Tyrod must be pissing himself on the sidelines.

[Dan]

I hope he throws ten, I've picked the Chargers DST in roughly 60% of the daily leagues I've done this week.

EDIT: Cam Jordan :hail:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Well that's my McCoy prediction already dead.

Just keep giving it to him instead of Pickterson.

[Dan]

Shady's a massive prick, but he sure can play football good.

As can Mark Ingram, but he's a top bloke.

[Gray Fox]

I benched him for Kareem the dream. Dammit.
