NFL (since 2016)

"Free agency started last night and was pretty crazy some huge money being spent. Osweiler getting £18m a year for the Texans, leaving the Broncos without a QB, Giants have spent a fortune on good but not great players, Oliver Vernon has more guaranteed money than JJ Watt. lots more deals but cant be bothered to list them all."

[Takashi Miike]

I know your mob didn't invent this phenomenon this season but that useless cսnt goodell really needs to do something about teams deliberately throwing games so as to manoeuvre a better draft place. it's against the spirit of the sport and makes a mockery of the draft process

"Even Derek Carr, the Raiders' QB, says he 'can't believe' the Jets called that play. I have to say, I think it's fucking disgraceful, tbh. It is cheating of sorts, because they are obviously doing it to gain an advantage over the Jaguars - who might otherwise draft Lawrence (which seems to be what this boils down to: a dangerous tactic at the best of times). But it also completely distorts in-game betting etc. I bet you some serious money was both won and lost by savvy gamblers on that play alone. It's wrong. Even though it's my team doing it - it's just plain wrong."

"Anybody who thinks that the Jets are not tanking on purpose need only see that reckless call on 3rd and 10 in the 4th quarter against the Raiders! In the unusual position to win a game for the first time all season (a season in which, The Idiot Gase says they are not purposefully tanking) and they call 'that' play on 3rd and long?! An all-out blitz in which everybody bar the man-to-man coverage was committed to attacking the QB! On 3rd and 10?! It was basically the NFL equivalent of being 1-0 up in the last minute, with possession in Man Utd's half and smacking a 60 yarder backwards into your own net! And they are STILL claiming that they're not trying to lose. Hahahaha! I feel really sorry for Sam Darnold. Despite Gase being the worst NFL coach in the history of the game, Darnold still has talent. He's obviously playing for his place next season (thinking we'll draft Lawrence) and played well last night. Puts the team on the edge of its first victory for almost a year - and then Gregg Williams or Gase (both of whom signed to receive in-season bonuses this week - ahem!) call 'that' play?! What a clusterfuck my team is. It's a good job West Ham have been doing well, broadly speaking, this season. I'd be suicidal otherwise..."

"Patriots puttling an absolute mollywhopping on the chargers in all 3 phases. 2 rushing touchdowns, 1 passing touchdown, 1 punt return touchdown, 1 blocked field goal return for a touchdown, and now 2 interceptions."

crystal falace 11:07 Sun Dec 6 From an ESPN analyst - explaining the Jets coverage https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EolXXgCXUAEHHdx?format=jpg&name=small

Saints tried hard to do a Falcons against the Falcons but held out in the end. In the playoffs I believe.

[crystal falace]

You'll never convince me that they didnt just intentionally give that play up. 13 seconds left and they give up a 40 yard bomb in single coverage and nobody deep.

The Jets season in a nutshell.

crystal falace 10:44 Sun Dec 6 The still managed three and out with the win in sight.

[crystal falace]

Jets are winning a game of football in the 4th quarter! This win could cost them trevor lawrence though after a load of tie breakers with the Jags.

ironsofcanada 9:15 Sun Dec 6 I noticed that your weapons aren't on the field yet. Was hoping your TE and def wouldn't do so well.

[OccupyGreenStreet]

"Haha falace, Mayfield's having a career day. Bollocks!"

[crystal falace]

Browns putting an absolute arse whooping on the titans! Maybe they are for real when they're not playing in a hurricane every week.

[ironsofcanada]

Hermit I didn't really mean too. Was hoping Jackson would be Covid cleared by now. Your role-players are playing roles so far.

[Hermit Road]

Interesting dynamic in my matchup. I have Thielen and my opponent has Cousins. Makes it hard to be happy when he puts points on the board.

[crystal falace]

OGS mayfield would have been the QB id have traded you. He's on 22 points already!

[zebthecat]

Oh bollocks. Second time this season I have one of my RBs knocked out in their team's opening drive. Frank Gore this time.

[crystal falace]

I dont think we have a trade deadline but i do have veto power if there are any dodgy deals being made from a team who's out of contention or something. Even though im sure nobody would get up to any shenanigans like that.

[OccupyGreenStreet]

Yeah you're right. Somehow thought we'd passed the trade deadline.

[crystal falace]

"Should have had a look mate ive got 3 useable QBs on my roster atm. Could have sorted a trade as im a bit light at running back this week with Jacobs out and CEH doubtful. Glad i grabbed taysom hill, 43 yard rush then 20 yard TD pass"

[OccupyGreenStreet]

"Haha been trying to find a fit QB for today. Had to go with Trubisky, who only gets points against Detroit, apparently This is going to be a fun couple of hours."

[ironsofcanada]

"Boring Friday afternoon and going through some NFL videos. Found an old Saints (from the 'Aints days) one that has the best named player ever. I give you Guido Merkens https://twitter.com/i/status/1234329985093001216 Played quarterback, running back, wide receiver, punter and defensive back in his 10 years and that year his coach was Bum Phillips."

Kickers can be a game changer - took Gano out because of covid and put in the flipping Broncos kicker! Turns out Gano was out of danger well in time for kick off and more than doubled McManus's points. Lost by one point...

[zebthecat]

Just been looking over my Fantasy team and was surprised to see that Younghoe Koo is my third highest scorer after Russell Wilson and Dalvin Cook.

"My team has turned to muck, I can only dream of a narrow loss. Started ok, but massive yips as the play offs have come into sight. In NFL terms, it's all a bit Texans or Bears, maybe."
