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."

[Grumpster]

"Brady has been absolute shit, though not helped by his offensive line playing like helmets. Really do think that age has finally caught up with him. It's a joy to see."

haskins week by week looking better. love it

[Takashi Miike]

"the lakers only beat them by one basket (3pts) and miami had a few injuries. they'll only improve as the season goes on. it's a good bet, still 45s on PP, only 28s on B365. lakers are joint favourites on both sites at 3/1, by the time the playoffs come round 37 year old lebron will be fucked"

"Sorry TK, I never get notified of who mails anymore!!! Currently angry that the basketball is fucking on in overtime and no red zone!!! Repeat as well surely, so why??"

[Takashi Miike]

"crystal, I've been watching quite a bit of basketball this season and said to grumps (via whomail, never answered) to back MIAMI HEAT for the championship. they was 45/1 when I messaged him and still haven't been cut after another good win earlier this week. they play the Lakers tonight and if they beat them I've no doubt the price will possibly halve so get on"

"Bizarrely, I'm feeling quite chipper today, despite the holy trinity of failure. It's got nothing to do with the Jets, West Ham or Labour - I discovered a previously unopened bottle of wine which is now conveniently disappearing..."

[southbankbornnbred]

"Yep, I'm all three (although, I guess I'm on the moderate wing of Labour: certainly not Momentum)! 2019 has been a fucking disaster - and 2020 is not shaping up too well, either. Where did I put that arsenic..?"

[crystal falace]

"are you labour Southbank? Jets, West ham and labour fans right now should be on some sort of suicide watch"

[southbankbornnbred]

"In these dark times for the Labour Party, as the Corbynistas assess yet another election defeat and scratch their deluded heads over how they have made the party so deeply unpopular, it is always best to draw on the legendary philosopher and former Jets head coach, Herm Edwards... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5-iJUuPWis"

Think the Niners and Bills may have started to come up with a strategy to at least slow down the Ravens but you need a very very talented defence to have any hope of pulling it off. Seems like they essentially played single high safety (sometimes zero) with single mad coverage on the outside against Brown & snead and then just loaded the box and flooded the middle of the field to try and take away Ingram and the quick crossing routes to tightends. Obviously you need elite speedy corners to make this work as brown and snead can burn you deep if left one on one with little or no help and it still doesnt really account for Lamar just pulling the ball down and running it himself but 49ers and Bills held the Ravens to their worst offensive performances all season in those games using similar tactics. Just not many teams who can do the same (maybe the patriots in the AFC but not even sure they can make it to the AFC championship the way the offence is currently playing)

[Grumpster]

"Although I'd fancy the Niners to beat the Ravens if we play them again, NFL isn't for you if you don't enjoy watching Jackson play. Bloke has been absolute quality and him, Ingram and Andrews are a pretty deadly trio."

[crystal falace]

"going to be alot of turnover this offseason, could be some longstanding coaches losing their jobs. Also think there could be a record number of starting QBs playing for different teams next year."

[Takashi Miike]

"I don't think Gase will last much longer, once the players are against you it's done. Callahan, our current caretaker coach, isn't the greatest but he has united the locker room"

[southbankbornnbred]

"Well, I think the Jets showed the entire league just how to deal with Jackson. Just like Corbyn showed the world how to win elections."

[crystal falace]

Yeah pretty obvious choices really.

[Takashi Miike]

"the line up was....... Jackson (Captain x1.5), Brown, Ingram, Crowder & Andrews"

[Takashi Miike]

"yes mate, sadly that was the case it was good to win though, and also good to hear one of the top boys on awesemo also does what I do when checking scores by covering the balance and slow revealing? I thought it was just my nutty superstition, but even the blokes winning hundreds of thousands do it :.)"

[crystal falace]

How does that work then they split the prize 157 ways?

[Takashi Miike]

"crystal, I finished 1st in a dfs showdown slate (5 players) for last night's game. sadly 156 other players also picked the same selections :.("

[The Mercernary]

We shall see Crystal! Interesting you mention Josh Allen as he's my quarterback...he has a tough match up with the Steelers so I think I'll definitely lose the QB battle!

[crystal falace]

"I've got a few tough matchups elsewhere and am short at receiver since Ridley went down, being forced to play a hobbled OBJ this week and Freeman and Montgomery at running back are very boom or bust, and both of my tightends may or may not be healthy. So i really needed this good headstart!"

[The Mercernary]

Jackson should've been rested - 37 points! Is that play-offs over for me already?

[crystal falace]

"Josh Allen would be the modern equivalent of newton, he's taken a few huge hits this year, remember the game against the pats where he lowered his helmet to try and get the first down and got knocked completely out cold. I do worry about Jackson fighting for the extra yardage though, yes that Touchdown run against the bengals was amazing with the spin move that did about 4 defenders but only takes one linebacker not to bite on it and compeltely level him as he turns his back and his season may be done. The extra yards are great but needs to learn when to just slide and settle for what is there"

[Takashi Miike]

"jackson 's like rg3 but physically stronger and with a better arm, newton encourages contact and takes far more risks on carries"
