Yeah seen a clip of it during the Bills game a really strange way of going out seems AB is having a similar trajectory to TO in that he still can do it but he is just to much of a pain in the ass for teams to deal with.

 

[Tom_CUFC]

That was one of the most entertaining early windows ever, very glad the Vikings weren't playing to ruin it!

Also shoutout to my fantasy team who have decided to go batshit crazy the last 2 weeks when it stopped mattering.

More I see the more I think the Texans have accidentally stumbled into having a pretty decent QB in Davis Mills. If was to rank the rookie QB’s right now it’s Mac at a clear #1 but then I think Mills is probably next and with a bit of daylight to the next one.

 

[pride_of_notts]

Chargers Vs Raiders winner takes all in week 18 looks like it will be a great one Ravens and Steelers still hanging onto contention but it does seem to be a long shot for either.

Poor old Sam Darnold, I genuinely feel bad for him. Been the product of being broken by being drafted to the wrong place and subjected to inept coaching from the start.

Theoretically the AFCE is on the line next Sunday though it should be a formality you’d think. With that said I would not rule out both us and the Bills losing to the Fins and Jets respectively next week. Either way delighted we are in the playoffs, great turnaround from us from last season.

 

[pride_of_notts]

Yeah i do feel for Sam also coaching is crucial for young QB's but the 2018 draft is really interesting the two most disliked prospects in Allen and Lamar have either got or looking at getting the 2nd contract Rosen was a straight up bust despite being the most pro ready and Darnold looks like being a Back up QB the big question is Baker who I feel puts the Browns in QB purgatory neither terrible or great

On the AfcE In theory it should be ours but still feel there is a question of consistency with us should win it but we have a habit this year of putting up some stinkers.

 

[kieran_vale]

Aye, I do think as much as they have often deserved to be made fun of the Jets have become a tough out for some good teams this season. They beat the Titans when they had Henry and gave the defending champs an almighty scare today. Add in the Bills occasional inconsistencies you never know. Same challenge for us against the Fins, outside of today they have been sweeping aside everyone and going to Miami in that heat is never easy.

Just on some of these rookies in general I wonder if there may come a point you start seeing some of them pull an Eli and make it known to certain teams not to bother drafting them as they'll just go back to college. Probably not an easy thing to do but with some of these that end up busts it's not that they suck it's just where you go to. That's why Mac on the day he was drafted pretty much said he wanted to drop to 15th and come to us.

Nick Chubb can go fuck himself lol. Congrats stagat

Think Cleveland’s OC fucked you over Kev not giving Chubb the ball at all first half. They deserved to lose for putting it in Bakers hands instead.

Congrats Stagat on the fantasy championship anyhow.

Stupid thing I did I transferred Chris Boswell for succop ... Succop got 8 PTS Boswell 15

I lost by 3 pts gulp!!!

 

[Aberstone]

Thank you, 7.

 

[pride_of_notts]

Excellent career for Big Ben but I don't think he has looked the same since that elbow injury still amazing that Steelers have a shot even if it is a small one of making the Playoffs

Cheers mate. I was sure Chubb would get you enough points overnight. Seems he had a rib injury though. You're unlucky to score 117 and not win the final. Well played, all season.

Ta mate. As I just mentioned, I read Chubb had a rib injury which kept his touches down. Bad timing for Kev.

Black Monday starts a day early with Fangio going can see him getting a lot of interest from any open DC spots.

 

[kieran_vale]

That’ll be a good job to go to. Well set at the skill positions on offense and the other side of the ball is as good as you can get. All they need to do is find a QB for the first time since Manning. Reckon Zimmer and Nagy will follow tomorrow.

As for today go J-E-T-S I guess. I can see it now though, they will beat the Bills and then we do what we always do in Miami and fall flat on our faces.

 

[pride_of_notts]

I think it could be interesting tomorrow there has been a lot of talk about Seahawks as well moving on from Carroll which would be an interesting move

On todays games hopefully Browns can get a Win then we can get the 3rd seed As for the Jets hopefully there D parts like the red sea they will want the highest pick possible.

Jags sending the Afc Wildcard race into chaos personally I love it.

Me too.

 

[Stagat]

If I'm an NFC playoff team I'm hoping the Saints get in over the 49ers. 49ers a far more dangerous team to potentially be playing IMO.

 

[kieran_vale]

Oh well never wanted to win the AFCE anyway…

 

[pride_of_notts]

Still early days good to see the Fish doing us a favour.

 

[Aberstone]

This is where the Chargers and Raiders QB kneel for 70 minutes…

 

[kieran_vale]

Feels like if we are going to win this game need a scoring drive to open up the second half. Been some bad missteps from us at times and also one really shitty call from the officials again on a roughing the punter call.

Jets seem like they are hanging tough again. Say what you will on them but Saleh has got them competing most weeks now.

 

[pride_of_notts]

Biggest issue has been our Punter shanking Punts Defense has been Ok but the conditions isn't ideal for our passing game.

 

[pride_of_notts]

Afc East is ours again Jets not offered that much just about all there points are down to the punter shanking it and causing a short field.

 

[Stagat]

Miami love a late TD against NE via a few laterals.

 

[pride_of_notts]

So it's the Chargers or the Pats preference would be the Chargers

This looked like a bad take about 10 minutes after I posted it and SF were 0-17 down but... I told you. Deebo, Mitchell, Kittle and to a lesser extent but still good Aiyuk make for a very dangerous offense.

Just so long as it's not on Monday night so I/we can watch it.

 

[kieran_vale]

Down to the two minute warning in OT. Surely they just take a knew to see this out now?? Absolutely crazy that the season has come down to this.
