Black Mamba striking against the Steelers![]()
Kobe Bryant's playing for the Chiefs now?
Fournette apparently cleared to return.
That was brilliant by Brown.
The celebration though, shit.
He stole it from De'Anthony Thomas:
I've been a fan of him since that game. He was only given 2 rushes. The first was a 91 yard rush TD, the second was a 64 yard TD run.
I'd have given him the ball a couple more times, personally.
He did this the next year at a Bowl game too:
Jaguars![]()
53 yard attempted field goal on second down.
Marrone must have had Myers in his fantasy team.
James Harrison is a machine.
Stuffed at home by the sodding Giants. Fuck's sake.
Fuck.
Just watched the Giants/Broncos game. Fucking hell that was shite all round.
Genuinely a bit gutted about Kev. Even though he's not been on it he was a big part of my initial NFL-watching experience.
He's rocking Cadles in heaven now.
Cecil had best be involved.
I've not bothered with almost any coverage since he went. Just stuck to red zone and the BBC games.
Bowman has signed for the Raiders, if anyone cares.
Raiders have signed Bowman for $3m (he also gets his 49ers contract for the year), which has surprised me slightly. I thought he'd end up with the Patriots or the Saints.
Edit: Fuck you, Browning.
Apparently we had a deal in place to trade a 7th round pick for him, but then they cut him & it only really sounded like he was going to end up in Oakland. Meanwhile, the Chiefs have re(re?)-signed CJ Spiller.
Mariota starting tonight, so I await the impending demise of my perfect fantasy week.
We only had 3 WRs practicing today.
Michael Campanaro (strange seeing him not dead this late in the season), Chris Moore and newly signed Griff Whalen.
raiders chiefs was AMAZING
Alex Smith has been a God this season.
Any interest in a weekly pick’em contest? I have too much free time now I’ve got weekends off so I need something to do
Pick the winner of each game, maybe a position based pick (best WR/QB etc) and stuff like that.
Here's what I'm thinking:
- Pick the winner for every game (or just Sunday games if people prefer) - 1pt for each one correct
- GAME OF THE WEEK - Pick the winner of a major/close/big game (2pts if correct) and over/under on a points total for the game (another 2pts)
- The #1 QB will be...(5pts if correct, otherwise 1pt for the person who picks the highest scoring player - based on the scoring in TTH league*)
- #1 WR
- #1RB
- Maybe #1 TE & DST if people want to (no kicker though, obviously)
- Individual player prediction (guess the final score for one specific player each week, to the nearest whole point) - 10pts minus 1 for each point off
Highest total score wins the week. Maybe I'll tally it for the season too.
*For those outside the league it's basically standard fantasy scoring, but 6pt passing TD & -2 for an INT.
EDIT: This is the draft for this week:
Toggle Spoiler
Chiefs/Raiders doesn't count this week, obviously.
I'm out.
Kickers (well Tucker) are real people too.
Maybe I'll make Tucker the individual player every now & again![]()
This week the number 1 WR will be... on dan’s bench.

This week, Alshon Jeffery will score... 10 points
Ronnie Stanley is questionable with the reason/injury being 'mouth'![]()
GAME OF THE WEEK – Patriots @ Falcons - Over/under 64.5 total points - This will be tighter than most people can imagine, saying that cue Falcons blowing another massive lead in a big matchup to anyone including the Patriots. The Patriots needs this win badly so that we can all suck on their Super Bowl dicks.
---
Bucs v Bills – The NFC South looks rammed plus they are not getting out of it if their lives depends on it. The Bills on the other hand are praying for a massive Patriots fuckup.
Jags v Colts – Dumpster match.
Saints v Packers – The Packers offence won't show up. The Saints can grab this matchup by the balls.
Ravens v Vikings – For fuck sake Mahow, supporting the Ravens can only give you constant migraines. Adam Thielen to run riot please.
Jets v Dolphins – Oh boy another dumpster match. This doesn't help both teams so expect this to go the distance with a Jets win to save our sanity.
Cardinals v Rams – London games won't be kind to the Rams. AP to run riot and Palmer to throw bombs...and probably a few INTs while he's at it.
Panthers v Bears – Fuck you Cam Newton. Jordon Howard to go on a tear please.
Titans v Browns – Another dumpster match though Titans really need to win this to top the division.
Chargers v Broncos – Complete garbage. Seriously couldn't care less about this game. Probably went for the sensible option come to think of it.
Cowboys v 49ers – Christ alive. No doubt the Cowboys will go 3-3 with Ezekiel still not suspended due to reasons. A fuckup from the Redskins on Monday night would be nice.
Seahawks v Giants – Godspeed Giants, I hear Sterling Shepard is back to soften the blow somewhat. Dear Russell Wilson, please turn up for the sake of my fantasy team, thank you...Pleb.
Steelers v Bengals – Should be a dumper fire of a matchup so I wouldn’t be surprised if the Bengals turned up just for shits and giggles.
(Monday Night) Redskins v Eagles – Eagles need to get out of the division quickly.
---
The #1 QB this week will be...Cam Newton (because it’s Cam Newton)
The #1 RB this week will be...Jordon Howard (sure why not)
The #1 WR this week will be...Doug Baldwin (he's due a big game surely?)
The #1 TE this week will be...The Gronkster (playing the falcons helps)
The #1 DST this week will be...The New Orleans Saints because Aaron Rodgers is dead and their offence is now garbage.
This week, Alshon Jeffery will score... 7 points probably. Who knows.
Hope I got that right. I'll probably get none of those right.
Patriots beat the Falcons. Under 64.5 points.
Bills beat the Bucs
Saints beat the Packers
Vikings beat the Ravens
Jets beat the Dolphins
Rams beat the Cardinals
Panthers beat the Bears
Titans beat the Browns
Broncos beat the Chargers
Cowboys beat the Niners
Redskins beat the Eagles
Seahawks beat the Giants
Steelers beat the Bengals
The #1 QB will be Matt Ryan (was tempted by Dak but I'll pick different to those picked already)
The #1 RB will be Todd Gurley due to the power of my jersey.
The #1 WR will be Julio Jones
The #1 TE will be Zach Ertz
The #1 DST will be Sacksonville
Alshon Jeffrey will score 8 points
Better do mine, I guess:
GAME OF THE WEEK - Patriots v Falcons - Over/under 64.5 total points
Tough one to start with, as both offences have the potential to run wild. I'm also pretty happy with where I set the point spread, as I can easily imagine it being 38-34 or something similar. In the end though, I think the Falcons defence is slightly better than the Patriots, and Julio Jones will finally have a big game. Falcons RBs should both do well too. I'm still not really sure why I'm betting against the Patriots, but I am. 32-28 win for Atlanta, just for the record.
---
Bucs v Bills - Bills have been good, and the Bucs DEF is bad, but their offence is good enough to pinch this one if Jameis plays, which he should
Jags v Colts - Two not good teams, but the Jags DEF should be enough to see them through. It'll be a horrible game if Fournette doesn't play though.
Saints v Packers - Hundley still settling in & a weakened O-Line should be just enough for our DEF to cope with their receivers. Could go very wrong though.
Ravens v Vikings - Two iffy offences facing strong defences. Another horrible game, Vikings win by a field goal. Sorry Mahow.
Jets v Dolphins - I'm not sure I even want to think about this game. Dolphins because Ajayi, I guess. Don't make me watch it.
Cardinals v Rams - Should be a good game, but the Rams to nick it with good defence & ball control. AP to be solid, but not great.
Panthers v Bears - I can't bet on Trubisky, even if their DEF is sneaky decent & Cam's all over the place.
Titans v Browns - They're playing the Browns. That's usually enough.
Chargers v Broncos - Could go either way, but the Chargers can't tackle & Rivers can't stop throwing picks. Hoping for a big CJ Anderson game.
Cowboys v 49ers - This could be a better game than it sounds. Cowboys fairly comfortably though.
Redskins v Eagles - Kinda want to go Washington, as it's a divisional game, but I can't. Hopefully I don't jinx Wentz.
Seahawks v Giants - Two teams with shit O-Lines, patchy run games & good defences, but Wilson can actually move, and they have receivers.
Steelers v Bengals - It'll be close & probably pretty scrappy, but Steelers scrape a win.
---
The #1 QB this week will be...Matt Ryan. I really like Dak too, but the Patriots are awful & they could need to throw a lot to keep up with Brady.
The #1 RB this week will be...CJ Anderson. The Chargers are pathetic, he just needs to get the work. Tempted to say Ingram, but that's a bit too bold.
The #1 WR this week will be...Julio Jones. Only way he's not good this week is if he doesn't get thrown to.
The #1 TE this week will be...Zack Ertz. He's a beast & Wentz loves him.
The #1 DST this week will be...LA Rams. Aaron Donald will murder Carson Palmer if the Cards O-Line is as bad as it's been so far.
---
This week, Alshon Jeffery will score...9pts I fancy him to do basically the same as last week, but I'm going slightly higher to account for a potential TD.
Josh Norman has been ruled out against us. Get Jeffery 1v1 on his replacement.
Fournette not expected to play against the Colts, but not yet officially ruled out. They’re on a bye next week too, so he’ll have a good amount of rest before his next game.
I almost caved and bought a ticket for tonight after my Wembley game but there's fuck all parking on site apparently and I'd have had to use the park and ride.
I drive to escape public transport you knobs.
Is there a UK game today? Why isn't it on early like the others?
Cardinals/Rams.
They're experimenting a bit I guess or they think the game is big enough to hold up at primetime?
I think to test one being more like a lunchtime kick off in East America. Never mind the fact that the west coast is still in bed through our usual kick offs.
He's back
Jaylen Hill is also active for the first time and he looked fucking incredible in the pre-season.
Brandon Carr
I so hope our D is back.
Turned on just in time to see Aaron Jones walking into the endzone
Treadwell made a right jumble of that, basically tipped it up to let Carr pick it off.
This Hundley thing would go well if they could run like that all the time.
Bears defence is getting some plays recently.
Typical Ravens - Wallace comes back, immediately drilled & injured again.
Another WR dead? Fun.
I believe we're at the following right now:
Michael Campanaro
Chris Moore
Griff Whalen
All our other WRs are injured.
Nice attempt at diving into the endzone from Marquise Lee - basically superman dived & chucked the ball about fifty rows into the stands![]()
