Ah well the run was nice while it lasted. More important is hopefully Gronk isn't as bad as it looked. There was a Vine released of him leaving the X-Ray room where he seemed to be walking ok but who knows.

You'll be fine mate. I left too many points on the bench. Like a twat. Again.

Yep, checked this morning and I should be fine now.

I thought I'd done the same by benching Decker but looks like I might just get away with it!

Waiver turnarounds made me laugh this week. I edged out Kieran_vale for Charcandrick West, helps me on a big winning streak to replace Foster. Then West is injured, kieran_vale is ahead of me for Ware, and Ware/kieran_vale then beat me in our match up this week.

Gurley's form has dropped right off. I do think Fisher has had a past excuse due to what naff he's had at both QB and RB, but with the 9ers in a big funk, Gurney initially looking awesome, and the Seahawks having a so-so season, maybe they move on. That said, the Rams are the team that gave up cap room last summer, so Kroenke is probably happy with the status quo...

Holy tackling Batman.

PEAK BROWNS

 

[Stagat]

Gotta love a game-costing p kick six.

 

[kieran_vale]

Just when you think Cleveland can't come up with a more Cleveland way of losing they go and find another. Got to admire their fans for the way they keep coming back for more.

 

[Kim Mitten]

superb ending, as said, only the Browns, even the Lions don't lose like that. Was that the first kick six btw? can't think of any others.

Amazing to read the Browns have devoted more early draft picks and money to their D than any other team in the NFL. Yet again they are one of the worst Ds in the league. They are still a mess on O as well, they haven't seemed to be anything other than a mess since re-forming, god knows what you do with that team, maybe time to just stick with their coaches and management because rebooting every year or two hasn't helped them. Just to add to their woes their only decent looking offense players, Barnridge and Benjamin, are free agents at the end of the season. Can't see anything but ridiculous mega contracts keeping them in Cleveland.

Problem is if the offense is bad in every way, QB and RB, then no matter how good the defense is it'll suffer time of possession and look worse than it actually is. Not to say the Browns D is full of top level players, but it certainly makes a big difference

Coldplay. GREAT!

Coldplay. GREAT!

Better than the Black Eyed fucking Peas.

I still think the first two Coldplay albums are very good.

Not long good already. Crisis.

 

[Craig]

What a start by the Lions.

Rockist scum.

We got us a ball game.

bloody hellfire

Fuck me. Twice.

Unbelievable.

Time for analysis is tomorrow. In my short time, that is up there with the division winning Cobb TD in Chicago.

 

[Kim Mitten]

Shame Lions couldn't hang on, but the season was over long ago. The way this team has played since Wembley leaves a lot of what ifs, hopefully they can win out (the schedule is pretty kind) and take the momentum into next season.
Oh and worse than losing on a last play time expiring hail mary? Fucking Boreplay 'entertaining' us at the Superbowl.

 

[Renegade]

Who started Richard Rodgers against me? Haha, unbelievable ending, just so Lions-y.

Didn't realise you were in the 1FFFF, big G. Which team are ye?

Aye, though. As much as last weekend was PEAK BROWNS as Carel noted, this was pretty bloody Lions.

 

[Renegade]

I'm the guy who just had Richard Rodgers score 20+ points against me (Romosexual Tendencies). Currently 8-4 but quite undeserving of my record (my team is shit this year). I guess it's sort of karmic justice for last year when I finished 13-1 and lost in the final by less than a point.



How are you getting along?

 

[Stagat]

I know I could've gone and searched for Rodgers, found his team, found his fixture etc but was easier to ask.

I'm Blidworth Miners Welfare Bills. Doing middlin'. Coulda been sneaking 4th with better team selection on a couple of weeks but... mid table is about right for me in my debut year.

:ainsley:

Good to see Rahgahs discount double check his way to a huge points haul for me in fantasy last night.

I'm hoping the Saints become a contender for the tankathon now. Voices of Brees and Payton leaving are getting louder by the week, my honest opinion is that Brees will stay for next year but Payton will leave us, Miami appear to be very interested in his services. Brees was linked with the Jets but it won't happen I don't think. If one of them has to leave then Payton to leave over Brees anyday because we need a coach who can bring in the right personnel to sort out our hideous D.

We're absolutely buggered for cap space next year so I'm expecting us to turn into the St Louis Rams and not make the playoffs for a decade from now on, we need to plan for the post-Brees era with a horrific cap situation. Spunking contracts on Jimmy Graham, Junior Galette, Brandon Browner, Jairus Byrd and CJ Spiller doesn't appear to have been a good idea.

 

[Craig]

Can't wait for Florida-Alabama tonight. The we've got Raiders tomorrow. Should be fun.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

Rooting for chaos but not sure we gonner get none. OU look set, Big 10 is win and yer in and I think the other 2 faves coast.

Injury depleted good guys @ Baylor looking like a fun way to top off a pretty miserable season.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

Baylor just did a hand off in the backfield to 410lb tight end LaQuan McGowan. None of that sentence is a typo.

Mine eyes have seen the glory.

BENCHES CLEAR

FIGHT

Entire Baylor sideline runs across the field and they don't even get a flag. Seems legit.

I thought it was a done deal that Payton was leaving at the end of the season, pretty much full clear out of the coaching staff in NO isn't it? The cap space issue makes the offseason pretty interesting, especially for the likes of Brees, not sure on his number but if he isn't carrying much dead money they may well ship him out. Currently standing at $4.1M the Saints have to find just to get back to the black, they certainly need some good drafts in the next few seasons. Same goes for the Dolphins, they are the other team in a massive cap mess - $4.5M for them to overturn.
