Well have been given a B+ for mine which is all great until my RB1 and WR1 hit the IR by week 5.

First year haven't carried Herbert on my roster and went for Mahomes instead so that's doomed him. Bills and Ravens fans can thank me any time.

I got a B-. Was surprised that J-Herb went undrafted actually, especially when I've ended up with Richardson and Love.

I don't think you can complain too much with Mahomes and CMC but I thank you for your service re. the former regardless. :ohy:

Aye though Craig has just given me a good trade offer on that front. Problem I found with Herbert is the Chargers kept bloody running it in the red zone and also his best receivers like Allen have moved on.

Trade for Tyreek in fantasy and he goes and gets arrested on game day. Standard.

Early glimpse of us it’s a good defense and nothing happening offensively. Same as the last few years.

No way we actually fucking WON!! Probably won’t get many more days like it this season but we played really well there. Defense was brilliant and got the ground game going.

Sloppy first half especially with the penalties but improved it second half generally Allen played really well and took what the defence gave him I can see this team being coached up as the season goes especially with so many young players/ new pieces

Always nice to win the Thursday game coz you can just chill and proper enjoy Redzone on the Sunday then.

Was proper enjoying watching us beat up Miami too (apart from being at work and having to sneakily watch it on me phone) until Tua tried to kill Damar Hamlin again.

He's going to have a lot of people telling him to walk away now. Manti Te'o talking about it on some show I didn't get the name of was powerful and if his family are all in his ear like that he might just call it a day.

CMC going on IR. Brings to mind the old proverb:

'the best time to pick Jordan Mason up was before the first game of the season. The second best time was before last Wednesday when the Buddhalo Bills nabbed him'

Thanks

Was really impressed with how we set up Tyreek and Waddle was non factors which worried me going into the year having more or less a brand new secondary and yeah I will enjoy redzone also not having to worry about the Bills

I’m just at the point now in fantasy I’m going to spite draft players in future so bad things will happen to their team. In other words I’m just drafting Jets players.

Frustrating loss for the Pats. The game was there to be won but we are so limited in the passing game at the moment. Even then we don’t get a FG blocked and we may well have beaten a good Seattle team. Not the end of the world but just could have been so much better.

Really impressed last night with us Allen probably had his best game for us especially the first half masterclass and for me as much as I loved Diggs trading him away was the best thing for the team as there have been the case where Allen had been force feeding him the ball resulting in picks also have to say I am really impressed with the start of our secondary especially given the starters we have turned over in the off season Benford especially has stepped into the elite category

Looks like the Bills all being equal should win the division at a canter. I suspect the Jets are frauds and will be exposed as such against any good team and Miami I’m getting the feeling they might not even finish above us with their QB issues now.

Said it before but I would suggest there needs to be a rethink on when people call someone coming out the draft as “generational” or “can’t miss” as once again Trevor Lawrence is shown to be no better than ok at best. Like this current draft people labelled Caleb with that and frankly once all is said and done the only two who I am confident will be applied to is MHJ and Alt.

Don't know if it will be at a canter next two weeks especially could be interesting road games at Ravens and Texans will be big tests on the Dolphins I suspect your correct dependent how long Tua is unavailable for and the Jets I can;t see them being that relevent as they lean way to much on the defence.

This Pats offense is harder to watch by the week. The line can’t block anything. Just feels such an effort to even so much as move the chains.

Think the Pats will switch to Maye might be the case let him learn even if he makes mistakes he would probably be better where he can use his legs especially given the state of the Pats O-Line

On the Chiefs can't think of a worse play than Mahomes throwing the interception ans then he injures his no1 receiver in the same play.

I just don’t think with this OL you can put Maye out there. Run the risk of him ending up being another David Carr. At some point it’ll happen as Brissett can’t keep taking these hits, maybe around the London game with the Jags. Something will have to give. If there is a bright spot on Defense I think by the years end Christian Gonzalez will be in the conversation of best corner in the league.

And so another season descends into tankathon mode. This time I think it’s quite possible we get the #1 pick. If we can’t beat that abysmal Miami team down to their fourth string QB who can we beat? Better hope Milroe, Beck or Sanders shoot up teams draft boards to trade back…

Interesting game at Tottenham today. Vikings did everything in their power to hand that game to the Jets but Rodgers I just don’t think he has it any more at the elite level.
