The Colts are still involved as well, they could actually end up still as division winners in theory anyway. In the case of the Raiders it baffles me they are still in with a shout as apart from one win at KC have looked wholly unimpressive whenever I've seen them. Expect Miami to handle them quite easily.

Possible the NFC Least could be decided this weekend if Washington win and the Giants lose. In all honesty with how bad they all are I suspect winning the division may set whoever it is back a lot in the long term. Did see Haskins got himself in bother recently. There is one first rounder you can definitely file under bust. He will be lucky find a backup role elsewhere at this rate.

I fully expect Colts to be there with how the Steelers have been playing recently and less said about the Jags.

On Haskins he looks finished he was already on very thin ice without the whole going to a strip club especially when his coach is immune compromised He will probably get another shot somewhere think we could be in for an interesting Free Agency for QB especially where Minshew and Darnold land.

Alvin Kamara wow.

Adam has him in fantos final too. Kieran’s reign of terror may be over....

 

[pride_of_notts]

Can't believe they didn't let Kamara go for the record so many fantasy seasons have just died though.

Will go one of two ways this. Either I revert to my usual way of being the Peyton Manning of fantasy football by winning in the regular season then a catastrophe in the post season. The other is this could be my version of 28-3 (such happy times)

Just how awful that Vikings defence is on another note is incredible especially with Zimmer coaching them. They have nosedived on that side of the ball.

Looks like Cam is going to play against the Bills. I can only guess it is so he can meet some playing time incentive in his contract as this serves no other purpose. If can’t see what Stidham has got now then we never will.

Buccs game is an absolute blow out can't say I am surprised with Lions being bad and add in there coaching staff being devastated with Covid.

 

[kieran_vale]

Pretty pathetic performance from the Lions this, even letting Blaine Gabbert throw a party on them. Going to take them a long time to recover from Patricias time in charge there.

Don't think it is any surprise when you have a positional Coach as HC and also OC and a Coaching Assistant as DC all with no game calling experience at least Bucs have kind of shown mercy pulling several starters.

Came here to say this. Very embarrassing when the opposition is comfortable enough to put Gabbert out for the whole second half against you.

 

[Stagat]

Bit of a disaster this for the Cards innit, looking like losing to SF? Not looked at the playoff picture but think it's tight enough that one loss bumps them down somewhat?

 

[pride_of_notts]

It opens the door for the Bears win there remaining games against Jags and Packers they take the no7 seed.

 

[Camborne Gills]

Dolphins being anaemic on offence, think they are going to cock it up.

3pts down with about a quarter left.


EDIT:
Crazy 4th quarter, good job we benched Tagovailoa

 

[kieran_vale]

Fitzmagic does it again. Depending how serious the Fins are about a run in the playoffs if they get there he gives them the best shot to win. Just let Tua learn.

Had almost twice as many passing yards in 3 drives!!

Right, yes. Don't see them beating GB but then again if they have the number one seed wrapped up they might rest players. Chicago don't feel like a playoff standard team to me. Arizona kinda do.

 

[kieran_vale]

Aye, that throw he made when his head was contorted almost sideways on that facemask penalty was simply incredible. One of those players when he gets hot he is as good as anybody and Miami should ride it out while it lasts.

My guess is Flores will go back to Tua for the Bills. I think he will be good long term but the difference in the Fins on that side of the ball was very noticeable once Fitz came in.

 

[kieran_vale]

I think it would be the most Jets thing ever if say they were to win out the rest of the season and keep Gase. With them I couldn’t rule it out.

 

[pride_of_notts]

The only right thing to do would be to give Gase a 10 year deal.

 

[kieran_vale]

Just my humble opinion they need just one more push, need to get Gase locked down now I think. Steelers will be feeling pretty grateful to the Jets right now at least.

What the hell was that from Trubisky? He's been ok since regaining his starting role but that was just ugly.

 

[Aberstone]

Blow this entire offense up in the off-season please.

 

[kieran_vale]

If games only lasted three quarters the Falcons would be in the middle of their own dynasty. Problem is when it gets to it they will find a way to mess it up.

KC are incredible on offense BUT if they do have a weakness from what I've seen they sometimes try to be too clever for their own good. Just comes across Reid just goes "watch this" rather just run the standard offense. Teams like us with our pathetic offense need those trick plays to move the ball or score but KC certainly don't.

 

[pride_of_notts]

He should of just thrown that away it was literally 1st and 10 I would still be amazed if he gets a second deal with Chicago even if he has been improved

On Kc game that looks interesting using Mahomes as a wide out was a bad idea and also another interception in the endzone

 

[kieran_vale]

If this all holds and the Jags seal the Trevor Lawrence sweepstakes today it will be fascinating to see what the Jets do. In all honesty I would actually err to trading back, get the blue chip receiving weapons like a J'Marr Chase and maybe that stud TE Pitts and roll with Darnold again.

I genuinely think he could be salvageable but he needs help (and proper coaching).

 

[pride_of_notts]

I would agree if Jets are going to continue roll with Darnold a trade back might be the best option drop down a few picks and pick up an Elite receiver Pitts is an absolute stud wish he could fall down to the bottom of the 1st so we could pick him up as we need a good Tight End.

 

[kieran_vale]

And now its official the J-E-T-S are on a hot streak and Trevor Lawrence to the Jags. Have to admit was rooting for the them to call another zero blitz on that fourth down just for a laugh. Every single fan of every other AFCE team should be breathing a sigh of relief we won't have to come up against him twice a year though.

Congrats to Aberstone on the division win. Feels like almost falling over the line but got there in the end and it was a very good comeback second half.

 

[pride_of_notts]

So It's T Law to the Jags confirmed only we will get months of the Jags might go in a different direction by Sports Media The Jets have to decide what way to go with the No2 pick move on from Darnold and pick a QB or draft Sewell / Trade Back

 

[kieran_vale]

Nothing that anyone didn’t already know but Haskins is utter garbage. Leaving aside his off field indiscretions he’s just never going to be an NFL calibre starting QB. Not shown one iota of development or at least being able to read what’s in front of him.

 

[pride_of_notts]

I agree he is done Riverboat Ron would of got rid of him after the stripper stunt if Smith was healthy still think some team will pick him up as a salvage project.

Also Dolphins are in line for a top 5 pick at the moment due to the Tunsil trade

Damn I love J J Watt.

 

[kieran_vale]

Congrats to Adam on winning our Fantasy league this year. Was a bit of a one sided whupping I was on the end of eventually. Back to my Peyton Manning type ways.

Edit - Just to add in the interests of full accountability I am calling for the instant dismissal of Zimmer and his coaching staff. Costing me a repeat title with his awful defence and running the likes of Boone when near the goal line is unacceptable.

 

[kieran_vale]

Haskins now waived by the WFT. Not really a surprise and at least in a week they need to win to clinch the division at least means won’t get bombarded with questions on that.

Probably not since Ryan Leaf or Jamarcus Russell has there been a QB drafted that high and been such a colossal bust in all ways. At least the likes of Johnny Manziel and Paxton Lynch were bottom half of the first.
