The NFL Thread

[Browning]

Benjamin carted off too. The Bills are a joke.

[Browning]

The Bengals. :D

[Dan]

Osweiler/Dre Kirkpatrick :D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

What a mong Dre Kirkpatrick is for not putting the points on the board.

[Browning]

That's 3.... fucking hell Bills.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Pickterman \0/.

[Gray Fox]

Any shots of Tyrod looking smug on the sideline?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Someone call Tyrod.

[Browning]

:drool:

It was obvious to everyone it was a terrible decision.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Why is Hanson saying it's 3 picks?

It's 4 from only 9 pass attempts.

[Dan]

He has more INTs in ten pass attempts than Tyrod has all season :D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Still going for Peterman but Tyrod was talking in the huddle.

Yeah, Tyrod was the real problem.

[Dan]

Peterman's tenth throw was the first one that wasn't caught. 5 completions, 4 INTs, 1 incompletion :D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Accuracy through the roof.

[Dan]

Raiders double team Brandin Cooks & let they him run right between them :D

[Dan]

Peterman's tenth throw was the first one that wasn't caught. 5 completions, 4 INTs, 1 incompletion :D

Fumbled a snap now. He recovered it though, so that should be enough to give him another week ahead of Tyrod.

Oakland have been absolutely shocking on both sides of the ball this season.

[Dan]

Nice to see Austin Ekeler's backup getting in the endzone.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Record is 8 apparently.

In Peterson we trust.

[Dan]

Fumbled a snap now. He recovered it though, so that should be enough to give him another week ahead of Tyrod.

Oakland have been absolutely shocking on both sides of the ball this season.

:rosebud:

[Gray Fox]

5 is the count.

How many does it take to get Tyrod back in?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Technically at 11/14 in terms of passes that have been caught which is a 78.6% completion rate.

Not many elite QBs can challenge that.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Technically at 11/14 in terms of passes that have been caught which is a 78.6% completion rate.

Not many elite QBs can challenge that.

[Dan]

Certainly higher than Tyrod's completion percentage.

[Ian]

God our offense is crap.

[Dan]

Gostkowski nailed that. Imagine if Janikowski was on the other side.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I saw Tucker warming up by kicking from the opposite 45 yard line, in the Azteca he could probably drill them from the opposite end of the stadium.

[Dan]

Jake Elliott would be kicking from the car park.

[Gray Fox]

Apparently the Raiders have yet to record an interception this season. Chargers with 5 in one half :P

[Dan]

As bad as the likes of Cleveland, Denver, NYG & Tampa have been this season I think there's a genuine case to be made that the Oakland Raiders are the worst team in the league right now.

Oh, and Tyrod's back.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

932365161720975360

:D

Tyrod has this.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Tyrod has come in with a 25% completion rate.

We want Peterman back.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Lol at that Raiders receiver.

Looked worse on the first angle though.

[Gray Fox]

Ajayi adds so much to our backfield. Hopefully the rest of the game goes like that.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000880175/article/broncos-fire-offensive-coordinator-mike-mccoy

Mike McCoy has been fired as OC in Denver.

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000880289/article/sean-mcdermott-bills-still-evaluating-the-qb-position

Bills are still being stupid: "We are still evaluating the QB position and we'll take it one day at a time right now," McDermott said Monday, via the team's official Twitter feed. "I do think heavily about our team in every decision that's made."

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000880814/article/bears-zach-miller-leaves-hospital-23-days-after-injury

Zach Miller has left hospital after 23 days.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It's also nice to see that the Seahawks RBs are so shit that they're collectively getting outrushed by Wilson.

7 carries for 86 yards and 1 TD for Russell
16 carries for 50 yards and 0 TD's collectively for the 3 RBs.

[Browning]

Don't know how long this has been the case, but there's a fuck ton of NFL London stuff from this season being sold off dirt cheap:

http://europe.nflshop.com/stores/nfl/en/c/london-games?Intcmp=ENusp3-_-LondonGames-_-1411

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Those head to head mugs :cab:

[Gray Fox]

The Broncos are giving Lynch a go this weekend.

Also the Bears cut Barth after his laughable attempt at the game tying field goal. They've signed Cairo Santos to replace him.

[Dan]

Pick'em was really close this week...

Sir Andy Mahowry - 10pts
Gray Fox & Me - 13pts
Pleb - 14pts
Browning - 15pts
Limoutsonik - 17pts

We all picked the Pats except GF, while every single one of us whiffed on the over/under. We were all miles off on Shady too, with me being closest a mere 14pts too low :D Browning, GF & Limoutsonik all got 6pts from Brown & Kelce. Pleb nailed the Ravens, while everyone else got the next two best defences, so we killed that one :cool:

Thanksgiving week pick'em will be up later. Hopefully we can get everyone in again this week.

[Dan]

We're back to a full slate of games this week, including THREE games on Thursday, but it's not the greatest when you actually look at the lineup. There is, however, one HUGE game that's an easy pick for Game of the Week. I think I've also gone for a pretty interesting player pick too...

Game of the Week: Saints v Rams. Over/under 54.5pts.

Vikings v Lions (Thursday)
Chargers v Cowboys (Thursday)
Giants v Redskins (Thursday)
Bills v Chiefs
Titans v Colts
Browns v Bengals
Buccaneers v Falcons
Dolphins v Patriots
Bears v Eagles
Panthers v Jets
Seahawks v 49ers
Jaguars v Cardinals
Broncos v Raiders
Packers v Steelers
Texans v Ravens

#1 QB:
#1 RB:
#1 WR:
#1 TE:
#1 DST:

Paxton Lynch will score:

[Browning]

Why would anyone not pick Kelce Vs the Giants for fuck sake. :D

Told you he knew his football though.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Wait, it's done by yards? TD's don't come into it? Ricky Seals-Jones is coming after you.

[Browning]

No, I'm guessing Kelce was just the highest scoring TE anyone actually picked.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Game of the Week: Saints v Rams. Over/under 54.5pts.

Vikings v Lions (Thursday)
Chargers v Cowboys (Thursday)
Giants v Redskins (Thursday)
Bills v Chiefs
Titans v Colts
Browns v Bengals
Buccaneers v Falcons
Dolphins v Patriots
Bears v Eagles
Panthers v Jets
Seahawks v 49ers
Jaguars v Cardinals
Broncos v Raiders
Packers v Steelers
Texans v Ravens

#1 QB: Russell Wilson
#1 RB: Le'Veon Bell
#1 WR: Antonio Brown
#1 TE: Gronk
#1 DST: Ravens

Paxton Lynch will score: 14 points.

[Dan]

Wait, it's done by yards? TD's don't come into it? Ricky Seals-Jones is coming after you.


No, I'm guessing Kelce was just the highest scoring TE anyone actually picked.

This. 5pts for Antonio Brown, who was obviously WR#1 with his monster week, then 1pt for Kelce, who outscored Cook & Ertz, the only other TEs picked.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

933341834465726464

:cool:

He's turning into an absolute pass rushing beast.

[Dan]

Game of the Week: Saints v Rams. Over/under 54.5pts. - I'm doing it. This is easily the most appealing game of the week, with two of the best offences in football & big time playoff implications for both teams, I'm almost expecting every possible combination of results to be picked here, it's that close. There's definite shootout potential, but I kinda fancy it ending up a tight game with a few turnovers & lots of ball control on both sides. If Lattimore plays I might change my mind, but I think I'm making us marginal underdogs here in a 27-23 type game.

Vikings v Lions - Could be a sneaky entertaining game, but I think Minnesota has the edge on both sides of the ball.
Chargers v Cowboys - I might change this if Tyron Smith plays, but this could be bad for Dak if Joey Bosa gets loose.
Giants v Redskins - Last week the Giants pulled off the upset exactly as I predicted (until I bottled it on Sunday), now they'll go back to being trash.
Bills v Chiefs - This is a sneaky bad game. Chiefs to take it in unimpressive fashion.
Titans v Colts - The Titans are a decent side, and Indy might be forced to start Tolzein, which is an instant loss.
Browns v Bengals - FUCK THE FORMULA, I'M GOING CRAZY!! :drool:
Buccaneers v Falcons - I think this one's pretty straightforward, but you can never tell with division games. Tampa are really bad though...
Dolphins v Patriots - This is the new formula. The Patriots aren't losing again until maybe the SuperBowl. Why did we ever doubt them?
Bears v Eagles - I fancy Chicago to give the Eagles a game here, but in the end they'll still lose by a fair margin because their offence is shit.
Panthers v Jets - Not the result I want as a Saints fan, but the Panthers are a hard team to beat at the minute.
Seahawks v 49ers - I don't think this will be a blowout, but I can't see San Fran winning either.
Jaguars v Cardinals - The Blaine train's going off the side of a mountain this week :(
Broncos v Raiders - I said a few days ago that the Raiders might be the worst team in the league right now. Here's where we find out.
Packers v Steelers - This could be ugly.
Texans v Ravens - The Ravens shitty offence will make this harder than it should be, but the defence will carry them over the line.

#1 QB: Roethlisberger - He could have another performance like last week against a team that's far worse than the Titans.
#1 RB: Fournette - He's due one, and they could put up numbers against Arizona, so there should be opportunity for a couple of short TD runs.
#1 WR: Julio - WR was tough, but here's another guy who's due a monster game & gets a shitty team with lots of opportunity.
#1 TE: Gronk - I tried to pick someone else, but he's Gronk, and he's playing the Dolphins with Brady throwing him the ball.
#1 DST: Steelers - They probably won't do as well as the Ravens last week, but they could still murder Brett Hundley.

Paxton Lynch will score: 18pts - He'll be shaky, but he's helped by the co-ordinator change & the fact he's playing the Raiders. Still fancy they'll finally get a pick this week though.

[Pleb]

GAME OF THE WEEK: Saints v Rams. Over/under 54.5pts. - For once this is a proper fist fight. The Saints are on a charge. Super Bowl beckons. Strap yourselves in this is going to get messy.

Vikings v Lions (Thursday) - Here we go with the thanksgiving shitfest. We start off with the Lions playing the Vikings. You know which way this is heading.
Chargers v Cowboys (Thursday) - No Ezekiel Elliott and a decent running game means only one thing. The Cowboys are fucked. Chargers takes it which is proper dirty.
Giants v Redskins (Thursday) - Kirk Cousins likes this.
Bills v Chiefs - Will Tyrod Taylor show up? If so expect this to be garbage. I'm anticipating the Kareem and Kelce show because double acts are the new thing apparently.
Titans v Colts - Hide behind the sofa Colt fans.
Browns v Bengals - Ugh...coin toss.
Buccaneers v Falcons - Blowout. Don't bother turning up Tampa.
Dolphins v Patriots - Not a good time to be facing your divisional rivals Miami. Expect this to be carnage. Potential blowout.
Bears v Eagles - Uh...let's pretend this matchup never happened Chicago. Blowout.
Panthers v Jets - We're garbage. This matchup will probably be garbage. Cam Newton will probably keep reminding me why I bench them in TTH by scoring big week in and week out. Potential blowout.
Seahawks v 49ers - Blowout. Complete and utter garbage as well.
Jaguars v Cardinals - The Jags might as well prepare for offseason at this rate. This one will be garbage though.
Broncos v Raiders - I'm feeling proper filthy with this one. They are playing the Broncos though who can't seem to make up their mind if they want to get themselves a first round rookie quarterback in next year's draft or not.
(Sunday Night) Packers v Steelers - Expect this to be utter carnage.
(Monday Night) Texans v Ravens - :moop:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

#1 QB: Carson Wentz
#1 RB: Jordon Howard
#1 WR: Julio Jones
#1 TE: I hear Greg Olson is coming off IR this week?
#1 DST: New Orleans Saints...yes I'm picking them. I was torn between them and Mahow's lot.

Paxton Lynch will score: 20 points...don't know why I'm probably still not good at this part of the pick ems.

[Browning]

I’ll just do Thursday picks for now:
Vikings
Cowboys
Redskins

Cousins for top QB because why not.

[Browning]

Plebs pick for WR is inspired....

[Dan]

:D

He’s about as much of a WR as Ted Ginn, to be fair.

[Limoutsonik]

Game of the Week: Saints v Rams. Over/under 54.5pts. Over 54,since Saints defense is suspect without Lattimore.Saints win.

Vikings v Lions (Thursday)=Vikes wins riding Case's hot hand
Chargers v Cowboys (Thursday)=Sean Lee is out and they don't have a run game now so a grudge win for the Bolts.
Giants v Redskins (Thursday)=Skins asCousins has another monster game and he rides Perrine all the way to victory.
Bills v Chiefs=Chiefs win and it's a blowout.Poor Bills will suffer the wrath of the 4 straight loss Chiefs.
Titans v Colts=Tits win partly because the Colts are a dumpster fire.
Browns v Bengals=Bengals.'Nuff said.
Buccaneers v Falcons=Falcons seem to have their swagger back so easy Falcons win.
Dolphins v Patriots=Really?Smokin' Jay?Pats win easily.
Bears v Eagles=Eagles.'Nuff said.
Panthers v Jets=Interesting little game,slight edge of the Panthers so i am picking them.
Seahawks v 49ers=Closer that it would suggest but still i am backing my Hawks.
Jaguars v Cardinals=Sacksoville in full swing.
Broncos v Raiders=Oof,my heart is out to those who will attend this game.Raiders win,badly.
Packers v Steelers=Steelers DEF is the 2nd best unit so based on that,easy Steelers win.
Texans v Ravens=Ravens DEF is firing on all cylinders although they have a really Jekyll and Hyde mentality.Ravens win.
#1 QB:Tom Brady
#1 RB:Le'veon Bell
#1 WR:Julio Jones
#1 TE:Jimmy Graham
#1 DST:Steelers
Paxton Lynch will score:15 points since he isn't the best thing since sliced bread.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Revis Island is back and this time he's in Kansas.

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000881610/article/darrelle-revis-signs-twoyear-contract-with-chiefs

After Freeney was surprisingly cut by the Seahawks (he had 3 sacks in 4 limited games) the Lions have signed him.

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000881615/article/lions-sign-dwight-freeney-after-seahawks-cut-de

Beathard is still the starter in Niner land.

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000881598/article/cj-beathard-to-start-at-qb-for-niners-vs-seahawks

[Dan]

I should mention for those who don’t play in the TTH league, that the QB scoring in pick’em is based on 6pt TD, -2 INT rather than standard, just in case it affects people’s guesses for Lynch (or Kelce).

[Gray Fox]

Game of the Week: Saints v Rams. Over/under 54.5pts. - Under. Surprising defensive showing for both teams with so much on the line. Brees experience to show and the Saints take it.

Vikings v Lions (Thursday) - Vikings
Chargers v Cowboys (Thursday) - Chargers
Giants v Redskins (Thursday) - Redskins
Bills v Chiefs - Chiefs
Titans v Colts - Titans
Browns v Bengals - Browns(fancy an upset here)
Buccaneers v Falcons - Falcons
Dolphins v Patriots - Pats by about 40 points
Bears v Eagles - Eagles, though will be made to work for it
Panthers v Jets - Panthers
Seahawks v 49ers - Hawks
Jaguars v Cardinals - Jags
Broncos v Raiders - Broncos
Packers v Steelers - Steelers
Texans v Ravens - Ravens

#1 QB: Cam Newton
#1 RB: Lev Bell
#1 WR: TY Hilton
#1 TE: I would say the Skins TE but how can you look past Jimmy Graham.
#1 DST: Steelers

Paxton Lynch will score 13.5 points. If we stick to the current script the Raiders D isn't scaring anyone. The Broncos D will give the kid a chance and he'll lean on top class DT to help him. He'll do okay, but not amazing.

[Dan]

You can’t all copy me & pick the Browns you fuckers :moop:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Doesn't feel right that we're going to have a turkey day without Kev rocking the Cadle :(

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

A live studio audience :sick:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Rudolph :drool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

He was clearly down.

Shit refs.

The celebration :D ffs.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That's a brilliant throw, especially so when considering he had a rusher right in his face as he was lobbing it up.

[Dan]

Well we've got our #1TE for the week already :D

[Browning]

Jason De-who-lo?

Genuinely no idea who this is but he's shit.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It's almost as bad as when the Black Eyed Peas did Super Bowl and were lost without auto-tune.

[Dan]

I literally back out to the GamePass menu so I didn't have to watch :D

EDIT: Yo Pleb, change your WR pick to an actual receiver. This week is going to come down to player projections, since we've all pretty much got the exact same picks.

[Browning]

Anyone else's GamePass gone to shit?

[Dan]

Nope, mine's alright at the minute. It's gone dodgy a few times lately though, so I've switched between TV & Xbox, as usually if one's fucked the other's still working.

[Browning]

The game randomly started again and then wouldn't "Go Live", but it's ok now I think.

[Dan]

Stafford's basically just reading Wikipedia for his audibles. Lol at them taking so long on the PAT that they let the officials correct themselves.

[Giggles]

Are they not blacked out when they're on Sky?

Also, these team celebrations need to be outlawed again. Ridiculous shite.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

How does Newman and Rhodes fuck that up?

Christ.

[Dan]

How did Marvin Jones get that, exactly? Might've crippled Stafford though.

[Browning]

And Newman wasn't even meant to be there :D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Thought Triple H was about to walk onto the pitch there.

Fucking class playing Motorhead The Game in a stadium.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Imagine being there thinking your team had just pulled that off only for it to be offside and thus game over.

[Foe]

Dallas +2 and Washington -7 to complete my ATS treble please.

[Dan]

Melvin Ingram is a beast. Their other Melvin, meanwhile, is just constantly getting fucked by his own linemen.

[Giggles]

This camera angle is balls.

[Foe]

Yep. I'm screwed.

[Dan]

Man, American TV looks shit.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I like the angle.

I'm used it though as I play Madden (yes, actual games Giggles) in the same angle. Let's you see almost all of the pitch.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Younghoe Koo is waiting for the call, LA.

[Giggles]

I like the angle.

I'm used it though as I play Madden (yes, actual games Giggles) in the same angle. Let's you see almost all of the pitch.

It was fine in that fog game but they're zoomed far too close and are far too low with it tonight. In most shots you could only see the width of the O-Line.

It's back to the regular angle now anyway.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Considering he missed the fucking net on the sidelines, you can't trust him at all.

[Dan]

That's not a great sign for the punter :D

[niko_cee]

I can't get on board with these yellow Charger gloves. Just looks like flags are being chucked all the time.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

904879291141382144

That's how you travel.

[Pleb]

I literally back out to the GamePass menu so I didn't have to watch :D

EDIT: Yo Pleb, change your WR pick to an actual receiver. This week is going to come down to player projections, since we've all pretty much got the exact same picks.
How soon do you want the pick?

[Dan]

Before the games, preferably :D You can pick anyone you like as long as their game hasn't started, so no Keenan Allen for you.

Rivers is fired up again already this week.

[Pleb]

How is this shitefest still 0-0?

[Dan]

I remember why I watch RedZone now - ads run roughly every eight seconds on live games.

[Dan]

I heard you call them San Diego, Mr Stadium Announcer :D

[Browning]

Yep, I heard that too. :D

What a shit fest this has been.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Ugh, this is worse than the first half.

I fucking hate new age country Male singers who think they're amazing. Bellend, mate.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Call him up Chargers.

[Dan]

Maybe that back's still giving you problems, eh Nick?

[Dan]

Does American really find Big Bang Theory so hilariously funny that they can do a spin-off series? Not to mention Kevin Can Wait & that other one with Matt LeBlanc.

No wonder Trump got in.

[Dan]

Yeah, that was probably a hold :D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Looked like he was trying to lock in the bear hug.

Not sure why the cameras and commentators were so faked out, I thought it looked pretty clear that Dak kept it.

[Gray Fox]

Cowboys getting twatted at home again? I like.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Novak should be taking notes.

[Dan]

Go fuck yourself Rod Smith. Take Ekeler with you too.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Cowboys secondary like whiffing on tackles a lot.

[Browning]

No one wants to tackle Allen? Fine by me. :drool:

[Gray Fox]

Opponent in work league has Allen but it's the Cowboys losing and I'm already in the play-offs so I dont care. Bring on more Cowboy punishment!

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

:lol:

[Gray Fox]

More picks! More!

[Gray Fox]

This is beautiful. :happycry:

[Pleb]

Well that went well.

[Giggles]

This Central/South Florida game is good stuff so far.

[Dan]

We have no Lattimore or Crawley this week. Everyone change your picks & get Sammy Watkins in your teams.

[Gray Fox]

Nah I still think Hilton catches a few bombs.

[Dan]

This Central/South Florida game is good stuff so far.

Watching this now. McKenzie Milton looks like a player (not a fan of his first name being spelt the surname way though) - 21pts inside the first quarter & he's had a lot of impressive plays already. I'd heard a lot about UCF this season, but I might actually have to go back & watch some of their other games to see if they've actually played anyone good & if Milton's been this good all season.

[Foe]

Chip Kelly is back.

UCLA.

[Giggles]

I'd love to see him flop and disappear from the game completely but he'll probably win a National Championship within 3 years.

[Gray Fox]

No huddle 24/7.

[Dan]

Chip Kelly is back.

UCLA.

It'll be interesting to see how it affects Josh Rosen, if at all, but otherwise meh.

[Pleb]

We have no Lattimore or Crawley this week. Everyone change your picks & get Sammy Watkins in your teams.
Have faith. Superbowl beckons.

[Dan]

We aren't even guaranteed a playoff spot. We have to play Carolina again, and Atlanta twice, nevermind the Rams this week. Considering the Panthers & Falcons are the two wildcard teams we could easily end up finishing third in our division if we fuck up those games.

Our whole season will come down to beating Carolina & at least splitting with the Falcons, as well as hoping Minnesota can do us some favours when they play both those teams in the next few weeks. If the Vikings can take them both out we'll have a bit more space, but for now those divisional games are all massive. They both play each other in week 17 too, so that could end up saving us too.

---

How about Alabama bottling their whole season at the last moment? :harold:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000882502/article/saints-rb-mark-ingrams-big-year-could-trigger-early-free-agency

Ingram will be a free agent if he's picked as a First team All-Pro.

Saints need Kareem the Dream to get out of his slump to save them some money.

How about Alabama bottling their whole season at the last moment? :harold:

They got completely dicked on. Minkah fitzpatrick aside there wasn't a lot of dominating talent. There's a lot of good players, but the studs that normally carry bama on the line weren't there.

Hopefully that's them out the play off picture. Although, if Georgia avenge auburn in the sec championship game it'll be a really interesting decision. Bama haven't really showed they can beat a team. Florida state without Deandre Francois have been garbage, Tennessee lost to fucking vanderbilt and LSU are good but not great.

I'd like to see Oklahoma win it.

[Gray Fox]

Run DMC is about to be waived. Obviously Dallas are happy with Zeke, Morris and now Smith but he'll be a great backup for whoever picks him up.

[Giggles]

Who?

[Gray Fox]

Darren McFadden. Previously Ezekiel Elliotts back up.

[Giggles]

Ah, I was trying to think of someone with a surname beginning with C. Never thought of the Mc.

Saints need Kareem the Dream to get out of his slump to save them some money.

Two RBs got in last year. As good as he's been I'm not sure he'll get voted as one of the two best backs in the league. Gurley's probably going to be one of them, then it's between him, Bell, Hunt, Shady, Fournette, Kamara and probably someone else I've forgotten for one spot.

He deserves it, but I'd hope we'd be willing & able to keep hold of him if it did happen.

I'd love to see them win it & Baker dick-grab at Nick Sabin after they crush them in the title game :drool: I'd be amazed if Alabama don't end up still getting selected though, along with whoever wins the Georgia/Auburn & Wisconsin/Ohio State games, and then some other randomer, possibly USC.

[Browning]

I’ll just do Thursday picks for now:
Vikings
Cowboys
Redskins

Cousins for top QB because why not.

Game of the Week: Saints v Rams. Over/under 54.5pts- Rams, Over.

#1 QB: Not Cousins
#1 RB: Todd Gurley
#1 WR: Keenan Allen? But ok... Antonio Brown
#1 TE: Gronk
#1 DST: Jaguars

Paxton Lynch will score: 20 points.

[Dan]

Have you picked the Gurley & the Jags DST every week? :D

[Browning]

Yes. It will work one day.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Bengals run D looks soft as shit.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

How the fuck does Seferian Jenkins not pull that in?

He's so shit.

[Gray Fox]

That's a horrid drop from ASJ.

[Foe]

ASJ seems to have screen time for a drop or mistake every week.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

lol at Jenkins.

[Gray Fox]

Defence so good we can give it them back again and they still dont score.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Sanu still with the perfect passer rating over 6 passes in his career now.

lol at Brady trying to run that down.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Browns punter got laid out on that return.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That's a stunning catch by Robby Anderson.

[Foe]

The chiefs are absolute shit right now. What happened to tyreek hill and Kareem hunt tearing up the league?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Only one to pick the Bills.

Eat a dick lads.

Tyrod was destined to win after they benched him last week.

[Browning]

This Seahawks game is brilliant already. The wind is going to ruin both teams.

[Foe]

Only one to pick the Bills.

Eat a dick lads.

Tyrod was destined to win after they benched him last week.

Two upsets I fancied today were the Bills (for the reason above and the chiefs being garbage at the moment) and the Jets, which looked solid until McCown had a horror.

[Gray Fox]

Russell Lolson.

[Giggles]

Shit's going down in Oakland :D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Talib is smart, he's protected.

Crabtree is even sorrier as a fighter than a receiver.

[Giggles]

Good job you're not running things.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I meant smart as in he pulled off Crabtree's helmet and kept his on.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Kamara :wub:

OROTY.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That pick :D

What a jammy thing that is to break the streak.

[Dan]

Had a mate round so missed most of the early games, but he left just in time for me to see Kamara :hail:

What a comedy interception that was from the Raiders. Only way they'll get them, probably.

[Dan]

How the fuck is Joe Flacco the 'winningest' QB in the first 6 seasons of their career?

EDIT: Amari actually catching a ball & scoring against the Broncos :drool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

How the fuck is Joe Flacco the 'winningest' QB in the first 6 seasons of their career?

EDIT: Amari actually catching a ball & scoring against the Broncos :drool:

Harbaugh, Rice and Lewis/Reed/the whole fucking defence pretty much.

Only missed the playoffs once in his first 6 years and he's actually pretty good in the playoffs.

Edit: Record doesn't count playoff games apparently.

He's also got the most in the first 7 years with 72 wins too.

[Dan]

We're not going to be able to stop this Rams offence today.

Gabbert :cool: Tearing up the mighty Jags with the help of the equally monstrous Ricky Seals-Jones.

[Dan]

Just seen Julio's numbers :D Feeling pretty good for 5 pick'em points on that one.

The Bucs are hot garbage. They might give the Raiders a game for the biggest flop of the season.

EDIT: I've also just seen Hunt's numbers :moop:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Just seen Julio's numbers :D Feeling pretty good for 5 pick'em points on that one.

The Bucs are hot garbage. They might give the Raiders a game for the biggest flop of the season.

They can at least play the injury card though, the Raiders have nothing to fall back on.

Actually, the lost Sea Bass the Polish demigod which has obviously unsettled them.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Kamara isn't normal.

He should have been tackled about 5 times on that run.

[Dan]

RIP Amari :(

[Dan]

Can we talk about Chandler Jones for a second? He's got something like 11 or 12 sacks now, and I don't think I've heard anyone say a single word about him all season.

He & Everson Griffen are probably the two most underrated pass rushers in the league.

[Dan]

We're not going to be able to stop this Rams offence today.

I forgot Davante Harris was in. That explains it.

EDIT: Another sack for Chandler Jones.

[Ian]

Lynch looking much as you'd expect a QB who's only been chucked in because the coaching staff don't know what else to do would look.

[Gray Fox]

Do the Raiders have a pick yet?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

They do, a proper jam factory effort too.

934908086413754368

[Gray Fox]

Got damn it Broncos. I wanted the full season.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

We were all too nice on Paxton.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Did the graphic really call him Trevor Sienian?

I'm not sure why but it made me lol.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Kamara is so good to watch.

It must be hard not having all the plays being 'Just give it to Alvin'.

Edit: Siemian on the other hand :sick: Not sure what anyone has ever seen in him, he seems to overthrow every fucking throw.

Edit: Less than a fucking minute after I say that and he pulls out a great throw.

[Browning]

Calais :cool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

PJ Williams :cool:

lol at Watkins.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Blaine Train :drool:

What a hero.

[Dan]

I think we can take Arizona off the list of teams who’ll need a QB next year :drool:

Not checked yet but I’m pretty sure I’ve murdered the pick’em this week.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I watched Jim Kelly's A Football Life the other day and it's easily the most emotional one after Gleason's.

His Hall of Fame speech got me. The whole thing about his son must have been so crushing.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

10th anniversary of Sean Taylor's death so lets have some gifs:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Campanaro is a healthy inactive tonight :cab:

I really don't see what is with that at all, unless he got caught with Harbaugh's daughter.

He's our main punt/kick returner and he can catch the ball unlike Perriman. We also design plays for him with screens and even rushes at times so it takes a dimension away.

Webb returning kicks is shit too, he's plodding and will just do enough each and every time with no chance of something big happening.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Bennett has been placed on IR and Talib and Crabtree have been suspended for 2 games.

Also, \0/. Flacco still shit but Suggs is a don.

[Dan]

The Blaine Train has no brakes. (https://www.azcentral.com/story/sports/nfl/cardinals/2017/11/27/arizona-cardinals-bruce-arians-blaine-gabbert-steve-keim-deone-bucannon-jaguars/899177001)

:drool:

[Ian]

Siemian's the starter again. Mon the off-season.

[Dan]

Should trade a first rounder for Gabbert. He's better than the mass of turds you've got now.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'm better than their current options.

[Gray Fox]

Eli Manning is being benched.

R.I.P the starting streak.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Benched for Geno is such a great way to end a career.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I don't get the whole 'Ben McAdoo wants to see what Geno has', the answer is nothing as he showcased for the Green side.

Why not start Davis Webb if you want to see what someone has?

[Dan]

They're officially tanking :D

Gotta feel a bit bad for Eli, but he's definitely done now. Speaking of which Run DMC has retired following his release.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'm a little surprised by that, surely one team would pay him.

[Browning]

If Eli truly is "the better brother" he'll react to the benching by winning the Super Bowl. Somehow I doubt it.

[Dan]

Sounds like he almost cried when asked about it, so probably not.

[Dan]

Not checked yet but I’m pretty sure I’ve murdered the pick’em this week.

I did.

Pleb - 13pts
Gray Fox - 14pts
Sir Andy Mahowry - 18pts
Browning & Limoutsonik - 19pts
Me - 30pts

I had 19pts just from positional picks & the GotW, thanks to nailing both parts of that, as well as picking the #1 QB, WR & TE. Special shout outs to Mahow for the lone wolf pick of the Bills, and I decided to give Pleb a point for picking the #1 RB, Alvin Kamara, even though he had him as a WR :D Oh, and thanks Paxton Lynch for ruining another round of player prediction.

I'll get the week 13 contest up shortly. Not decided on the player for this week, but I have a few in mind. Think GotW is pretty obvious though...

EDIT: Jimmy G, AJ Green, Hundley, Fournette or the Vikings DST for the player pick?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fournette, for me.

Or Justin Tucker.

[Dan]

Pretty nice bunch of games to finish off the fantasy regular season. Lots of tasty games with big playoff implications, particularly in the NFC, as well as some good divisional games, but in the end one game stands out above the rest...

I got so excited.

[Dan]

:D

I'll put him in there before the end of the season, I promise.

[Browning]

I’m going to have to think long and hard about best RB and DST.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Famous Jameis is back so you've got a nailed on for #1 QB.

[Pleb]

GAME OF THE WEEK: Eagles v Seahawks. Over/under 57.5pts - Finally a Sunday Night Football match we can actually sink our teeth into. Get the rubber shite out of the way before giving us the big guns. Wentz loves throwing the ball to his tight end Zach Ertz. Wilson needs a big game. This has playoff bullshit implications written all over it. This is practically a coin toss. Let's hope the Falcons fuck up against the Vikings Seattle. Seahawks schedule after this match: Sacksonville (A), Rams (H), Cowboys (A) and Cardinals (H). The Playoff alarm bells are ringing Seattle. This is MUST WIN!!!

(Thursday Night) Redskins v Cowboys - The Cowboys are now officially garbage. Kirk Cousins likes this pick.
Saints v Panthers - Last week's mishap was just a hiccup. Cam Newton is garbage in my books. The Panthers could easily take this if Lattimore isn't completely broken.
Colts v Jaguars - Garbage. Don't look now but Sacksonville might have a legit claim of being a decent playoff side #justjinxedit
Falcons v Vikings - I believe in Thielen. Julio Jones will probably be on a rampage now that I've made this pick.
Browns v Chargers - This is all kinds of nope. Never back the Browns. Will only give you heartache.
49ers v Bears - :roflol:
Giants v Raiders - Well this is an easy win for Oakland. May give them a slight chance of making the wildcards if other results go for them #donttakemywordforit
Rams v Cardinals - The Rams are on a surge. This might get messy.
Patriots v Bills - Prepare for post/offseason Bills. This doesn't help your cause.
Broncos v Dolphins - Garbage.
Chiefs v Jets - :|
Ravens v Lions - Nope.
Packers v Buccaneers - Garbage. Wait it's against the Packers? Might have a chance then.
Texans v Titans - Garbage.
(Monday Night) Steelers v Bengals - I have no words. Does this win give the Steelers at least a playoff bye week?

#1 QB: Russell Wilson
#1 RB: Leonard Fournette
#1 WR: Julio Jones
#1 TE: Zach Ertz
#1 DST: Whoever is playing the 49ers...I mean Chicago Bears.

Leonard Fournette will score: 20 points.

Plus a SUPER SPECIAL BONUS QUESTION!!!
Geno Smith will finish the game? Probably not :D

[Dan]

I’m going to have to think long and hard about best RB and DST.

May I suggest Isaiah Crowell & the Raiders?

[Limoutsonik]

Game of the Week: Eagles v Seahawks. Over/under 57.5pts. As a Hawks fan it pains me but the Eagles are going to steamroll us to the ground. Eagles win it under 57.5 points though.

Redskins v Cowboys= 'Skins cause as senile Skip Bayless says,they miss Sean Lee,Zeke so their team has imploded.
Saints v Panthers= Saints with a bounce back win after the Rams loss
Steelers v Bengals= Steelers. 'Nuff said.
Colts v Jaguars= Jags win and Fournette goes off.
Falcons v Vikings= Glass-Case of emotions Keenum wins again. Vikes due to their defense being better than the Falcons one.
Browns v Chargers= Rivers is going to have a field day here. Bolts.
49ers v Bears= Jordan Howard makes a triumphant return and runs rampant over the last placed run D in the league. Bears win.
Giants v Raiders= Raiders by a hair.
Rams v Cardinals= Gurley continues his hot streak. Rams
Patriots v Bills= Better clench up Bills.... Pats win by a country mile.
Broncos v Dolphins= What am absolute shitshow of a game this will be. Dolphins win?!
Chiefs v Jets= Chiefs players have stacked my fantasy teams and have failed me for 5 weeks straight.This continues,plus Robby Anderson is staking his claim for a Top-5 wideout consideration so Jets win.
Ravens v Lions= Can Flacco be at least a competent QB so that the defense can go to work?We shall see but i am backing the Ravens here.
Packers v Buccaneers= Buccs are an absolute mess and Hundley has rapport with D.Adams so Packers win.
Texans v Titans= Tits win partly because Tom Savage is crap and Mariota has weapons to play with.

#1 QB: Phillip Rivers
#1 RB: Jordan Howard

I'll go for 9 points.

Leonard Fournette will score: 6 points

Geno won't finish the game.

[Dan]

David Webb is getting snaps, so I've heard, so that answers the bonus question. I wasn't scoring it anyway, but it'll be interesting to see just how bad Webb is given they aren't even playing him ahead of Geno when they need to know what he can do.

Even Nathan Peterman got the start...

[Dan]

Game of the Week: Eagles v Seahawks. Over/under 57.5pts. - This should be a cracking game, but I think the Eagles have the edge on both sides of the ball. Their offence benefits from going against the Seahawks without the LOB, while the Eagles' defence should cause havoc, although it might come down to whether they can actually tackle Russell Wilson once they insta-beat the shitty Seattle O-Line. An Eagles win would be great for the Saints too, so that's also a factor :D

Redskins v Cowboys - You've got to expect Dallas will be better than they have been the last few weeks, but I still think the Redskins will edge it.
Saints v Panthers - I've said it a lot, the Panthers are good, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed we're better. Think this is a Brees game too.
Steelers v Bengals - This will be close & fiery like always, but Pittsburgh just have enough to take it.
Colts v Jaguars - This probably won't be close. Jags DST to dominate as usual/
Falcons v Vikings - Another close game, but I'm hoping the Vikings do us a favour & come away with the win.
Browns v Chargers - Back to the formula!
49ers v Bears - I actually think Chicago will win, but there's potential either way so I'm taking the gamble.
Giants v Raiders - What an awful looking game :D Raiders might even get another pick this week!
Rams v Cardinals - Sorry Blaine.
Patriots v Bills - The formula v2 looks to be just as bulletproof as v1.
Broncos v Dolphins - Is this a worse game than Oakland/NYG? It certainly pushes it close. Miami to nick it in a game filled with shit QB play & short drives.
Chiefs v Jets - This is like my CHI/SF pick. Surely KC can't stay this shit? Maybe they'll even let Kareem play this week :yn:.
Ravens v Lions - If Stafford sits this will change, otherwise the Ravens offence will let their defence down.
Packers v Buccaneers - Hundley & Adams keep Rodgers interested, while Jamies does Jameis stuff.
Texans v Titans - Mariota's comeback game after some proper shite the last two weeks.

#1 QB: Marcus Mariota
#1 RB: Jordan Howard
#1 WR: Davante Adams
#1 TE: Jared Cook
#1 DST: Lions

Leonard Fournette will score: 13pts

[Gray Fox]

Game of the Week: Eagles v Seahawks. Over/under 57.5pts. Seahawks and Under. We've not really been tested against a top QB yet and Wilson is on fire.

Redskins v Cowboys - Redskins add to the misery though, Dak will have a much better game
Saints v Panthers - Saints
Steelers v Bengals - Always a spicy game, Steelers take it again
Colts v Jaguars - Colts. They have nothing to lose and Jags are inexperienced nearing the play-offs
Falcons v Vikings - Vikings. The Lions may have poked holes in the defence, but Vikings are the better overall team here.
Browns v Chargers - Chargers
49ers v Bears - Bears. Very underrated defence, though it'll be a lot closer with Jimmy G playing.
Giants v Raiders - Raiders in an all out shitfest
Rams v Cardinals - Divisional game, Cards to spring an upset
Patriots v Bills - Pats all day
Broncos v Dolphins - Shitfest continues. Dolphins win.
Chiefs v Jets - Chiefs stop the rot
Ravens v Lions - Lions to take, unless Flacco starts playing well suddenly.
Packers v Buccaneers - Bucs have nothing to play for but the Cheeseheads do have the slightest chance. Green Bay
Texans v Titans - Hardest one to call for me. Titans.

#1 QB: Brady
#1 RB: Melvin Gordon
#1 WR: Michael Thomas
#1 TE: Gronky Kong
#1 DST: Chargers

Leonard Fournette will score: 7 points

Plus a SUPER SPECIAL BONUS QUESTION!!!
Geno Smith will finish the game? Yes or No. Yes he will and it will be horrible. They made their shitty bed so they will definitely lie in it, barring injury.

[Dan]

I’ve just realised that three of my picks for #1 player at their position are on Pleb’s fantasy team & another is on Mahow’s :moop:

You can see why I’m not confident of keeping my bye. Really need Rivers & the Eagles DST to have big games this week.

[Pleb]

(Thursday Night) Redskins v Cowboys - The Cowboys are now officially garbage. Kirk Cousins doesn't like this pick.
Fixed.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Only one to get the Thursday game right, I like these little victories that I pull off.

[Foe]

Just watching the redskins game. Holy fuck they basically just threw it away with mistakes. Fumbles, drops, tipped passes for interceptions.

Kirk is really missing DJ and Garçon.

[Dan]

Just watching the redskins game. Holy fuck they basically just threw it away with mistakes. Fumbles, drops, tipped passes for interceptions.

Kirk is really missing DJ and Garçon.

Speaking of games that got thrown away, did you see the Stanford/USC game last night?

[Giggles]

Robbery.

[Dan]

That 4th down call late on was insane. Still not really sold on Sam Darnold, although he's probably a better version of what Carson Wentz looked like in college, so I should love him.

Ronald Jones though :cool: Not a fan of USC letting him wear 25 on offence & someone else wear it on defence, mind. Bryce Love looks good too - a bit of Lev Bell in the way he moves at the line sometimes, but he's got more speed.

[Foe]

Fuck sake, I'd have recorded that if I'd known about it.

Worse still, Live mother fucking HOCKEY is meaning college gameday is only on from 4-5. What the flying fuck kind of scheduling is that bullshit?

If I can't red button that shit I'll be raging.

[Dan]

There's a condensed version on YouTube (minus the first two minutes):


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJJC7c4slec&t=0s

I've got all the games on record as usual, but I generally end up watching them there if they have them.

[Gray Fox]

We've signed Alshon Jeffery on for another 4 years.
Hopefully some CB depth in the draft and I really like our unit for the next few years.

[Dan]

Man, UCF are fun to watch. I really like McKenzie Milton, and Shaquem Griffin (https://www.si.com/college-football/2017/11/16/shaquem-griffin-hand-ucf-nfl-draft) is a great story. Hopefully Scott Frost stays until Milton's done, but it sounds like he's probably off to Nebraska.

This game has been great so far - 24pts in the first quarter & three or four huge plays, as you'd expect from the two highest scoring teams in college football.

[Foe]

I've opted for the Arsenal game instead, but goergia auburn at half 8 I'm all over. :drool:

If keryon Johnson is out or struggling, auburn might well struggle. The qb is good, but Johnson keeps the defence respectful.

[Dan]

That game's going to have to go some to outdo this one - another TD within 30 seconds of Q2 starting. 400 yards of total offence in the first quarter alone, and it ended with a 62 yard play with the clock at 0:00.

And another by the time we hit 13:00. Apparently Vegas had the over/under for this at 85pts, and they might end up being close - we're already at 38 :cab:

EDIT: Memphis have a player called Joey Magnifico :cool: Hopefully he's a wrestler and/or a magician in his spare time.

Now we've got a player ejected for targeting on the passer, when the passer was the RB & the throw got picked, but they guy fell out of bounds & got injured. Then the very next play was tipped & intercepted at the 3. Don't see that every week. It's 24-21 with 6mins left of the half.

[Dan]

UCF/Memphis update:

2:30 to go in the third quarter - UCF 45 - 34 Memphis. It's one of those college football games where defence is banned, which I normally hate, and yet I'm loving it.

Glad you went with the Arsenal game Foe?

[Giggles]

UCF/Memphis update:

2:30 to go in the third quarter - UCF 45 - 34 Memphis. It's one of those college football games where defence is banned, which I normally hate, and yet I'm loving it.

Glad you went with the Arsenal game Foe?

By the sounds of it I'd say he is.

[Foe]

The Arsenal game was incredible. Got this on now. 89 points :cab:

However, there doesn't appear to be any defence whatsoever.

[Dan]

Nope, the fact the best defensive player on either side only has one hand should sum up how good the tackling has been :D Neither secondary has any idea what to do either. Think we're at about 1500 total yards at this point. It's madness.

[Foe]

That sort of shit is exactly why I have a soft spot for Texas Tech. Go long!

[Dan]

Again, it's hard to really judge an offensive player in a game like this, but Anthony Miller has a bit of Antonio Brown about him.

96pts with just over 4mins to play. Can we hit triple figures, or will a FG win it?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I turned it on to see the last TD.

Have there been any punts or even field goals?

[Dan]

UCF are gonna lose this at the death :(

Three combined punts, I think. Maybe two FGs each too.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

lol at Memphis.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fucking hell.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I think I might have a better chance than this kicker.

[Dan]

I was more edgy on that than in most Saints games :D

EDIT: McKenzie :face:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Who the fuck is he throwing too?

[Dan]

He's made literally about four bad throws the entire game, three of them ended up being INTs & the other was an underthrown pass that could've been a big play. Everything else has been Rosen-esque. Kind of fitting that after all those points it end up coming down to a missed FG, an INT then a sack all inside the last minute of the game to take it to overtime.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

1399 combined yards, pissing hell.

[Dan]

Gotta love the smarts of the Memphis defender that just pushed Otis Anderson over when he was beaten :D Didn't end up making a difference, but at least it shows he understands situational football.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That's a brilliant catch by Miller.

If he's not unable to go back in then UCF should surely win.

lol, UCF \0/.

[Dan]

That was a cracking game. I might buy a McKenzie Milton jersey :D

Also good to see Baker 'Dickgrab' Mayfield & Oklahoma stomping TCU to get themselves all but assured of a spot in the final four.

[Dan]

Antonio Brown questionable for MNF. My entire fantasy team has collapsed in the last month.

[Giggles]

A week late, the bastard (in real life).

[Foe]

I'm trying to work out how the CFP committee will work bama in.

Oklahoma are in, the winner of auburn/Georgia are in.

The winner of Clemson v Miami should be in.

That means a Wisconsin loss to Ohio State is required and it'd be a conversation between bama, Ohio state, the loser of auburn/Georgia, clemson/Miami and USC?

Gets interesting if Georgia beats auburn here, given auburn stomped bama but would have 3 losses.

[Dan]

I don't think they can, other than just to put them in because they're Alabama.

As you say, Oklahoma are in along with the winner of the ACC, and probably the winner of this game, even if it's Georgia. If Wisconsin win then they have to be there too, and if Ohio State win I don't see how you can say Alabama have a better case than them.

I'm sure they'll find a way to shoehorn them in though, since they seem to be treated like the collegeball lovechild of the Patriots & the Cowboys.

[Foe]

Just looking back at bama season and the only teams of note they bear are LSU, Texas A&M and Miss St. I'm not sure pumping guff like Vanderbilt, Tennessee, ole miss and cupcakes tells you anything because if I was Ohio state / Miami / Clemson / wisonsin / USC / auburn / Georgia I'd be saying that I'd be doing the exact same thing.

Penn state being an independent really fucks them over. They're out the conversation after the regular season.

[Dan]

Well this one's over, I should think. Jake Fromm v Baker in the championship game please.

[Giggles]

Just looking back at bama season and the only teams of note they bear are LSU, Texas A&M and Miss St. I'm not sure pumping guff like Vanderbilt, Tennessee, ole miss and cupcakes tells you anything because if I was Ohio state / Miami / Clemson / wisonsin / USC / auburn / Georgia I'd be saying that I'd be doing the exact same thing.

Penn State have been in the Big Ten for decades.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Perriman back on the inactive list after having 0 catches on Monday :drool:

Hopefully he doesn't make it back onto the pitch in a Ravens jersey.

Campanaro offers so much more than him as does Chris Moore.

First round wideout no less to.

At least laquan treadwell can point to diggs and thielen as quality wrs keeping him out the team. Perriman doesn't have that luxury, he's just way off the pace. A bit like Kevin White at the bears (has he even made it into the field yet?)

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Yes but he's been fucked by injuries (3 years in the league and he's gone on IR in all 3), Perriman just can't catch then his confidence goes down and his hands get worse.

He's being outperformed by every WR, he's lucky that Adeboyejo got injured as he was stunning in pre-season. Perriman offers nothing right now, even when some screens were called to get him the ball so he could run he was dropping them.

Kelce :drool:

Greg Jennings sounds like he's only learned to speak in the last year.

[Dan]

Get Peterman in.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Nortman > Bortles.

Jags have loved a fake punt this year, it's a wonder that no one is covering the underneath just in case.

Kelce is a don.
