Dean and Jordan Davis is something you can build a D around.

Finally got ourselves a corner Marcus Jones. Somewhat undersized at 5ft8in but I really like everything else on it. Also added bonus he is an incredible return man as well.

Drafted Matt Araiza (Punter) love that pick.

 

[kieran_vale]

I was fully expecting us to take Araiza but I think you were three places above us. Love his highlight reel.

Our draft done. I think in terms of the players we’ve taken they are all promising however I still feel the first round is a wasted opportunity just on positional value. Unfortunately a Guard just isn’t the game changer you are looking for. Other than that double dipped at corner, both seem different to the usual Pats prototype. Went for the trenches later on and they look like they can be contributors down the road.

I think we missed a trick as well not moving back into the third and taking Chenal. Can only presume they liked what they saw from our red shirted LB’s McGrone and Perkins.

I fully expect mariota to be a bust for the falcs and ridder taking over mid season

All in all I think we did well in the draft for once I'm hoping we can turn it into a winning season 9-7 my prediction

Ridder and London for the future

Fantos roll call

 

[KevinMcallister]

Me but this time I win it !!

 

[Ruslan8819]

yeah, I watch it sometimes too

 

[Craig]

Has TFF fantos reached its end?

Has TFF fantos reached its end?

I’ll still be in for it if there’s enough keep it going. May be worth dropping a message on there for those who might not come on here now?

 

[.V.]

I’m in again.

 

[KevinMcallister]

I'm in I was robbed last season by .43 points I need revenge

 

[Craig]

8 of us still in by looks can I just take your team name .V.

Do we have a draft date yet?

 

[Craig]

Half 6 next Sunday. Happy to change if any preference but figured that’s the time we’re all usually watching redzone.

Gonna stick me neck out and say you won't be troubling the final this year after that draft mate.

 

[Stagat]

Anyone watching Bills Rams? Nice first drive capped by a TD for Gabe who happens to be on me fantos team.

 

[Stagat]

Don't need all these turnovers

 

[Stagat]

Quite like that one though!

 

[Stagat]

HT verdict. Should have scored more when we were on top early. Rams came back well. Glad it was Kupp who happens to be on me fantos team who scored their TD if anyone has to. 10-10 fair score overall. Second half shoot out. Let's go.

 

[Stagat]

Josh Allen stiff arm

QBs shouldn't be doing that

Okay, 31-10 now, going okay.

 

[Stagat]

Done. Probably would have taken 31-10 beforehand tbh

Josh Allen ruining week 1 of fantasy football for me then!

 

[kieran_vale]

Only seen the highlights this morning. Yep the Bills will at least make the AFC Championship game. Nobody on either side in my fantasy matchup played this one so no harm done there.

 

[pride_of_notts]

We looked really good some sloppiness needs to be tidied up also loved that Allen beat up on Ramsey given the history of what Ramsey said during Allen's rookie year and Von Miller is off to a great start to his Bills career really excited to see what numbers he puts up this year.

Obviously Miller's performance is a great start but did you hear they mentioned on commentary how it's significant not just that the Bills have him now but also that - as obvious as it sounds - the Rams now don't. Makes it harder for Donald to do his thing now teams won't have to worry about Miller there too.

Similar on offense with OBJ gone, it's like Kupp + others now (and Robinson was kinda anonymous last night) as he's lost his main help too.

So the Rams will miss VM and OBJ not just with the obvious aspect of not having them make plays but also how it leaves their star players having to carry the team more.

 

[kieran_vale]

I think the Rams other major problem is that division they play in. The Niners and Cards will give them all they can handle. Seattle obviously are in for a down year and possible #1 pick contenders.

Yeah losing Miller was a major loss for the Rams especially as it will mean they can put extra attention on Donald.

Stafford for me tried to force it way to much to Kupp as great as he is you need to feed it other guys especially as Robinson is really good and Stafford barely gave him a look

Seahawks are one of my favorites also I get the feeling this could well be the last year of Carroll as HC.

I would expect so, I think the reason they kept him on is as a bridge to someone else taking over for when they draft CJ Stroud or Bryce Young next year.

Looking forward to the return of football properly today. Our game in Miami will be a tough one but if nobody who follows the Pats has any idea what we’ll see today then the Fins will have even less of a clue. Clearly they have good weapons but that’s counter-balanced by the fact I think Tua is not that great. Need to be better defensively against the RPO’s they like to run than we were last season.

Am going for the following in terms of predictions:-

AFCN - Ravens
AFCE - Bills
AFCS - Colts
AFCW - Chargers

Wildcards - Chiefs, Raiders, Bengals

NFCN - Vikings
NFCE - Cowboys
NFCS - Buccs
NFCW - Niners

Wildcards - Rams, Packers, Eagles

Super Bowl - Bills beat the Buccs
