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."

"Id imagine they'll be even more ruthless against the hated jets than his ex coach who runs the dolphins. I'm just intrigued to see how dominant the defence will be again, obviously against poor competition again in a 3rd string QB. but so far this season the Pats defence has scored 14 while only allowing 3 through 2 games. If anything is going to derail the Pats this season it will be the Oline, lost the starting right tackle for a month in the first game and now the starting left tackle has been placed on IR so is out for at least 8 weeks. 3 backup starters on the Oline now, after the Centre is out for the season with blood clots in his lungs (urgh) luckily they have Dante Scarnecchia who is not only the best Oline coach of all time but one of the best coaches fulls top."

Betfair exchange are giving the Jrts a 23 point head start on Sunday. I think the Pat's will absolutely smash that going on what I saw the other day.

"Crystal - could be another cricket score, which will horrify me? Our third-string QB is terrible, so they'll give the ball to Bell -a lot. Problem is, the Patsies will know it and have an excellent defense anyway. It could get ugly. 0-3 for the Jets on Sunday will have Woody thinking about tanking for another high-pick & trades. With the Fins already in the same position, the AFC East could become the least ""bothered"" division in history. I hope the Jets don't tank - I never really see the point, but our owners will live the idea of the space it affords them. It will all depend on when Darnold is back."

[Hermit Road]

"I need a QB, but I'm not having the Dallas QB in my team under any circumstances so I'm out."

[crystal falace]

I have Dak prescott who i think might be the 3rd highest scoring QB so far and he's been on my bench both weeks and he'll be on my bench again this week. So if anyone who is in need of a QB wants to make me an offer i can't refuse :)

[Hermit Road]

"Yeah, my score was still pretty low so I can't have any complaints. The gimmes like the defence and the QB are poor for me so I'll struggle."

[crystal falace]

"I got over 100 points this week, just happened to be matched up against someone who put up nearly 120 points! it does make it more interesting this system of week to week matchups but it does seem to add a much higher element of luck into it."

[Hermit Road]

"Considering they were getting the ball near the halfway line for nearly every drive, the Browns should have loaded up with a lot more points than they did. That Beckham catch was one of the best you'll ever see though. Absolutely remarkable in that sort of coverage and that position. Can't stand him but what a player. As for the fantasy league, I lost by .34 which is a bit of a gut job."

[Grumpster]

"Tbf, not sure the jets season was anything other than another write off anyway ;o) One of the many teams in transition."

[crystal falace]

"Dont worry, only a trip to Gillette stadium ahead this Sunday :)"

[southbankbornnbred]

"Contrasting reports on how long it will take Darnold to recover from mono. Some saying he'll be out for another 2 to 6 weeks, others saying he could be back in week 4. If it's six weeks, then the Jets might as well put this season down as a major write-off and go on holiday. They ain't going to win games if Darnold is not under centre. The #3 QB is utter tripe I've completely lost interest in the season already."

[southbankbornnbred]

"You couldn't make it up - two games for the Jets, two quarterbacks out injured (one for the entire season) and two defeats. Welcome to the brave new world of Adam Gase! In fairness to the new head coach, he's been cursed with bad luck on the injury front. Already using QB3 by the sixth quarter of play this season. Siemian (QB2) now out for the season. Hopefully Darnold won't have glandular fever for too long. But this is already looking like a fucking write off of a season in New York - and we haven't even played the Patsies yet. Joke team. Still love 'em."

[crystal falace]

"Dont like these trophies they keep giving out in the fantasy league, 2 weeks in a row its given me wooden spoon award for leaving Dak prescott on my bench as he was the highest scoring player on anyone's bench. Fails to mention that i started lamar jackson who outscored him in both weeks."

[Grumpster]

"What with the jets having to play that useless fucker at QB tonight, couldn't resist a few english pounds on that twat OBJ at 8/1. Normally do chubb, but the greedy odds won the day."

[ironsofcanada]

Brees out for six weeks (suspected) and Roethlisberger the season.

[Hermit Road]

Eagles were very unlucky last night. Terrible injuries to the best receivers and they still should have won if Agholor hadn't inexplicably dropped a ball when clear.

[crystal falace]

"Brees and Big Ben both going off injured yesterday, could really blow a few division races wide open, although i'd fully expect Ben to be back next week, he really does love milking an injury for attention."

[Norflundon]

Nice to see my brother get off the mark last night in a cracking game against the eagles ....looks like there's still hope for my super bowl ticket!!!

[cockney hammer]

very happy rams fan this morning

Mahomes also appears to have entire field in front of him in his head instantly. That along with his ludicrous arm is a pretty hard act to beat backed with a decent O-line.

[Lee Trundle]

I posted this after his first ever game for the Chiefs on this very thread. I'll be dining out on this for a long time yet. Lee Trundle 2:20 Mon Jan 1 Re: 2016 NFL Season I wonder if Alex Smith will end up leaving the Chiefs at the end of the season? He's probably the best QB in the league based on this year's STATS but Mahomes looked an outstanding prospect in yesterday's game. It's ridiculous that amount of power he generates in his throws with such little effort.

[Takashi Miike]

"the way he throws it down the field, best arm since elway"

[Hermit Road]

I'm watching that Chiefs game. It's like watching a Madden game.

[Lee Trundle]

Mahomes is ridiculous.

[zebthecat]

On the plus side maybe the Dolphins are doing a deep tank for Trevor Lawrence. That if everyone else doesn't fuck off in the intervening 18 months.
