Got him in two leagues. Dull.

 

I had toyed with dropping him last night. Ended up not doing so and also left him on the bench. Worst of both worlds.

Only just realised the kid from that QB1 on Netflix the other year is Georgia’s starting Qb. Putting up good numbers as well.

Not the best prep for the Jags today. Trying to dine and dash 60k tab. Boys must make combined millions per year.

£60k?!?! No bad for four players. Even with NFL appetites!

Why did I drop Mahomes onto the bench for Rodgers ?

Because you’re clueless?

Wtf Todd Gurley could've ran a TD but decided to sit on the ******* ground before the redzone to screw my bet and FF

They would have been unassailable if he scored. Only assume he thought it was a one point game or something.

 

Rams crusing towards a lombardi.

I had over 56.5 points the failed two point conversion instead of the kick at end of second half killed me

 

They should be there if can stay injury free

It was a scripted play by them...dubbed the Rolex Play.

 

Horrible game from the Lions yesterday but despite that, we really should have mounted a comeback. 2 turnovers while in scoring positions in our last 2 drives. Brutal.

Quite a simple play from Gurley. If the Rams keep the ball, the Packers can’t score. Winning matters; by how many points, is irrelevant.

 

And I think most NFL players enjoy getting it up fantasy footballer players!

He’s playing at an MVP level and every yard and touchdown will help his cause.

 

Mahomes would have been some price for that title.

Winning the Super Bowl will be more important to him than winning the MVP award. Or at least it should be...and that play suggests that it is. 

 

Scoring the TD would have meant the game was still at risk (albeit small). Stopping short ensures the win. That’s demonstrating value to your team right there.

Chances of a blocked return PAT and then driving the field must have been ridiculously low. But still fair call from him.

Or TD, onside kick then FG. Also extremely unlikely, but when facing Rodgers, **** giving them the opportunity!

And he's got a shot at the overall touchdowns record, so taking those last 5 yards off may very well keep him out of the record books, even as it guaranteed his team a win.

And again, I’m sure he cares more about the team’s success, not the record books.

Yep, gave an interview saying as much. But offensive players live for touchdowns, it takes a lot of presence of mind to see the endzone paint and daylight in front of you and think, "best to hit the grass here."

Just following orders...and if you know it guarantees a win, probably scratches the primary urge, anyway. Professional athletes live for winning. And money.

Dermaryius Thomas to the Texans (plus 7th) for a 4th rounder. Not the sort of move I’m used to seeing us take, but I like it. Good response to Fuller’s injury.

Can folk veto my trade on the dynasty please. It was offered over a week ago and before the players traded to another team. I thought the trade had been rejected back then but he's sat on it for ages and now accepted it even though Im unwilling to do the deal now there's nowhere for me to stop it

Not involved in the league, but struggle to see why anyone would veto based on this. It’s your fault if you keep an offer on the table, and entirely the other party’s prerogative to accept an open offer.

Good to see, he seemed the most likely to make it out of the 3 on the show.

Viewing figures for tonight’s battle of the bay could be pretty bleak. Third string qb vs an awful raiders defence.

Thought it was a strange trade by you, now I know why.

I mean it’s. Lear he’s playing for the no 1 pick but even going forward it’s hard to see his abilities to coach in the modern game.

 

Vegas won’t last long at this rate.

Reminder for those interested in thanksgiving games, it’s lions bears, cowboys redskins and late game falcons saints.

 

Decent games on 22 November. Day off sorted.

Might get a try of this. Our friends who are from California have invited us round for a Thanksgiving dinner and she’s a really good cook,  so maybe?

Cornbread from Californians is going to be unreliable, but I'm sure they'll do something good.

 

But there's nothing not to like about stuffing. It's bread, broth, vegetables, spices, and maybe a few other things.

So bad that Fitzpatrick is getting a game again. 

I quite like the guy. Got him starting in Fantasy tonight and he has a shed load of points.
