I really want to see this Steelers team in the play-offs, it seems unjust that one of the Chiefs, Steelers and Jets could be knocked out after finishing 11-5 whilst the NFC East and AFC South get someone in as well as the Vikes.

I think the Steelers will do damage if they get in. Also stuck £5 (big spender) on them in January at 25/1 to go all the way...not looking too bad.

Chiefs in theory could still win the division. Long shot but there's only a game in it if the Steelers see this out.

Looks like Carel has beaten me in Fantasy unless can get a TD from Demariyus.

Oh Ben!!!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING BEN

Rodgers INT and a Crosby blocked FG suddenly make our match up even more tight. So glad I hand tied Megatron with Tate if need be.

Overall a solid win for the Packers. Defence is prone to giving up a big play but played well, neither Starks or Lacy are consistent but both have equal chances to explode or get nothing, passing game is average at best, though was better today in the short passing zones. Maybe that's where we are this season.

Projected scores 113 - 113.

Unbearable!

They did that a few weeks ago when the Chargers were at the goal line against Green Bay. Seriously they need to fuck off with this.

 

[kieran_vale]

And that's all she wrote on that.

2 bastard PAT's is all Carel needs to beat me (unashamed jinx attempt to keep the dream alive).

Good thing is the Pats have the bye week sorted now for the playoffs. We bloody well need it with these injuries we're sustaining. Hopefully beat the Jets next week and confirm the #1 seed and then rest everyone for Miami in a perfect world.

bastard Pats

Welcome to our world

Brian Hoyer's wiki account:
"Hoyer is also known to be one of the few quarterbacks that will trip over a blade of grass, in the open field, while running a perfectly executed read option."

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

Nice fucking tackling, Philly. Lordy.

 

[Tom_CUFC]

Another good Vikings win against a mediocre team, just one more to chalk off next week and then we're going to have to overcome our fear of beating anyone a little bit decent to first try and win the division, and then to progress beyond the wildcard round, unless we end up in the #5 seed, although I think that would now the require the Seahawks to lose both games and I can't see that.

Great performance from Teddy, shows what happens when Norv lets him off his leash, and the D is doing brilliantly without 3 of our key starters, be interesting to see how they cope against a slightly more potent offense next week, though if Bridgewater has another good game I suspect we'll get the better of the Giants regardless.

Odell Beckham Jr suspended for 1 game by the NFL after his clash with Josh Norman yesterday. Silly boy.

WESTERN KENTUCKY JUST PUNTED ON 4TH AND GOAL

Cooks gets stopped at the 1 yard line, Hightower punches it in. Fucking. Fantasy. Football.

And then a penalty is called and the Saints fail on all four downs before the half...

That was a nuts series of downs. Bloody shambles.

Who's Fumble The Third? I'll see thee in the Loserbowl.

You neednt have worried . I'm just glad not switching Tate and Megatron didn't bite me, would have needed him plus a different flex play to win in the end, but Hightower and Megatron were the safer bets.

Well played sir

Plus, Beckham suspended next week for the Norman shenanigans. Would have meant I'd be starting Adams...

Ta, going into this match up I thought you would destroy me like earlier in the year.

I don't really deserve to be in the final given my performance in the regular season, but after going 13-1 last year and losing by less than a point in the final maybe I was due this bit of luck.

I have pretty decent matchups for the final, but Carel has Cam Newton...should be close.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

So completely am I going to smash your hopes and dreams of victory they will need to add -1 to the Mohs scale of hardness to define a new level of particulate even more finely ground than talc. And that's a fact, Jack.

 

[Renegade]

I'm scared.

Strong rumours that OBJ's suspension has been lifted and he will play Sunday. If so chalk that as another one from the NFL which is overturned on appeal.

 

[JJ1532]

Those rumours were bollocks:

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap30...n-upheld?campaign=tw-nf-sf17624728-sf17624728

Good, deserves the suspension.

 

[kieran_vale]

Ron Jaworski getting ahead of himself there then. The helmet shot is probably deserving of that especially in light of increased focus on concussions. I don't know how he got away without being ejected to be honest on that one. The other personal fouls not so much an issue.

While he was not as bad I hope the fines for Josh Norman are upheld as he had his part to play in this. Seems to have spent the entire season trying to be Richard Sherman V2.0. Great player but increasingly coming across as a douche.

Edit - Just read the apology from OBJ. Pretty much apologised to everybody with the exception of the guy he launched the helmet to helmet hit on.

 

[JJ1532]

Not really sure what Norman did wrong. Sure, a bit of un-neccessary roughness, but enough to be worthy of a fine? For me, other than the headshot, I had no problem with the battle those 2 were having. Norman looked to have Beckham beat, but then Beckham came back with a late touchdown. All part of the game I think, did make for good viewing(headshot apart).

Thought the NFL got it about right.

This hit is worse right?
