Amazing is a bit far - they're pretty good, nothing special.

Number one D in the NFL without their best player.

They're one of about 8 teams to hold that tag - and lets face it it's measured in yards...in points the #1 D was the Pats.

No great defences out there this year, just a lot of pretty good ones. If they had Watt, maybe they'd be great...but they don't

Jets have traded Bridgewater to the Saints. Goes from maybe the placeholder for Darnold to maybe the heir to Brees.

A 3rd round pick for a player signed off the trash pile 6 months ago.

That's some trick

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed 29 Aug 2018, 10:48 pm

Gonna need the Jets to draft a WR who has 20 career catches with that third rounder to restore some form of balance to the world

Can’t have them keep doing smart things

by Lowlandbrit Thu 30 Aug 2018, 8:05 am

Browns have cut Mychal Kendricks, who may be heading to prison for insider trading. If only he'd been around Carl Nassib sooner...

Mikey - will you be bringing back the prediction game?

Hope so

I'll knock up the Elimination Thread again.

Good man - I intend to try and not miss a week like i did last year Laugh

by Lowlandbrit Fri 31 Aug 2018, 6:09 pm

Good week for people named Aaron.

by skins4ever Sat 01 Sep 2018, 11:33 am

I still chuckle when I hear people start complaining about sports stars salaries. 1) its a short career in almost every sport, 2) football is dangerous to every players long term health, 3) its only the best that get this kind of money and biggest of all, 4) its still nothing compared to what the billionaire team owners are making.

Reports that raiders are trading mack to Chicago

Can't wait to see Reggie p!ss away the draft picks he gets in return for him

Trading one of the few picks he's actually got right

by Lowlandbrit Sat 01 Sep 2018, 2:06 pm

Gruden apparently wasn't too keen on the idea of giving Mack a big new deal, and the Bears have a QB on a rookie deal. So you can see how it makes sense, but how many players that good come out of any draft?

by gazzyD Sat 01 Sep 2018, 2:18 pm

Two first round picks apparently, which are worthless in the hands of Reggie who'll likely blow them on a player he could've got a round later and won't be on the roster 2-3 seasons later after turning out to be constantly injured or just plain trash

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat 01 Sep 2018, 9:34 pm

The raiders have gone insane

by gazzyD Sat 01 Sep 2018, 9:54 pm

Today in RaiderNation

Trade away one of a few draft picks that Reggie actually scored on for future draft picks that he'll no doubt waste

Sign AJ McCarron because we haven't already got enough trash back up for Carr in Cook and Manuel

Forced to cut Bryant due to likely suspension after giving away a third round pick for him in this year's draft

by gazzyD Sun 02 Sep 2018, 11:00 am

I've calmed down a bit since yesterday and having seen the numbers mack is getting from Chicago it just wasn't feasible for the Raiders to go there. I know he's one of those players that doesn't come along very often, but our defense was trash with him in it, all we'd have been doing would be making it harder for ourselves to get that right for the foreseeable, we'd end up being in the cap hell we were in under the last days of Davis

That's not to say I'm happy I'm at the prospect of Reggie having more picks at his disposal going forward as he's not been anywhere near good enough in drafts

Yes. I have just put week 1 thread up.

Might cry when I hear that Redzone theme song come on

by JDizzle Sun 09 Sep 2018, 7:47 pm

Buffalo have zero first downs in a half of football. 33 yards. Good luck Josh Allen.

by Lowlandbrit Sun 09 Sep 2018, 8:02 pm

First week is always a little tricky to predict, but that Ravens/Bills game was over as soon as they announced Peterman would be starting.

by Lowlandbrit Sun 09 Sep 2018, 8:23 pm

...and Josh Allen is in already. What a complete waste of time that was.

by crazy_dave23 Sun 09 Sep 2018, 9:18 pm

I mean he stank up his first game last year too... should have stuck with Tyrod Taylor!

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 09 Sep 2018, 9:30 pm

RIP all those who took the Saints in survivor games

Not me... but only because I had seen so many others take them!

I've never been such a fan of Cleveland as I am right now... Hard Knocks does this to you!

Lol Frak Cleveland and Hue Jackson man - bum team bum coach

Hue Jackson summed up in one tweet.

by Lowlandbrit Mon 10 Sep 2018, 7:54 am

One game snap reactions and thoughts:
-Vikings look like serious contenders
-Looking forward to another season of Big XII football from the Saints
-Chuck the Bills going with Peterman over Taylor and thinking he could let them ease in Allen in the 'NFL teams employ idiots too' file
-Steelers are going to implode this year

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 10 Sep 2018, 8:14 am

Bears choked - Nagy absolutely bottled it, you have 3rd and 1 - you need 1 yard to win the game, you throw a crappy play and then kick a FG and give the ball back to Aaron Rodgers? What are you even doing??? You have one of the better RBs in the NFL, especially in short yardage - run it twice, heck even QB sneak it twice - it's a yard!!

by skins4ever Mon 10 Sep 2018, 6:20 pm

I so like that it's Monday after week 1 and there's nobody sniping at the Skins. Got to be honest, I had an eyebrow raised when they signed AP, but after yesterday I'm a believer!

Plus Cowboys could be in for a long season. They were ugly against the Panthers. About Browns/Steelers ugly, but not Bills ugly. Bills defined a new kind of ugly.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 11 Sep 2018, 6:59 am

That’s the Matt Patricia defence I know!

by TM Moot Tue 11 Sep 2018, 8:51 pm

crazy week 1 Shocked

How the hell did the Packers win that one..!!
I'm ashamed to say I gave up watching it, couldn't believe the score when I checked later.

by crazy_dave23 Tue 11 Sep 2018, 9:35 pm

I play in 4 fantasy leagues with DST positions... I scored a combined -15.00pts this week... damn Saints and Chargers!

by skins4ever Fri 14 Sep 2018, 12:16 pm

I'm on the horns of a dilemma in another FFL league. Swap Deshaun Watson for Andy Dalton. The former could well be in sophomore slump territory and the latter has a habit of choking. With Big Ben as my main QB (hopefully he decides to throw to his own players this week), can I afford the luxury of chancing Dalton continues his early season form?

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 14 Sep 2018, 12:41 pm

I would go with Dalton - he's in a much much better situation - improved OL, very good weapons at WR/TE/RB. Watson has the worst OL in the league and DeAndre Hopkins basically - and looked very very tentative behind that OL on Sunday, against a pretty average pass rush.

by kingraf Sun 16 Sep 2018, 10:17 am

Josh Gordon has been released by the Browns. I'd love the Packers to pick him up.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 16 Sep 2018, 8:59 pm

Browns gonna Browns. Always

by gazzyD Mon 17 Sep 2018, 11:08 am

I already know how this story ends. They play us in Oakland week 4, I'm calling a Brown's win now

by Lowlandbrit Mon 17 Sep 2018, 12:44 pm

While everyone's making fun of the Bills and Lions, the Cardinals may sneakily be the worst team in the league.

by JDizzle Mon 17 Sep 2018, 10:04 pm

Josh Gordon traded to the Patriots for a conditional fifth round pick.

by skins4ever Tue 18 Sep 2018, 12:16 am

What's the condition? He manages to go more than 1/2 a season without a suspension?

Apparently the Skins were in the mix. Phew, bad as we were Sunday, glad we missed on that one.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 18 Sep 2018, 5:33 am

Conditions is if he isn’t on the active roster after 10 games the Pats get a 7th rounder back - so they’ve basically dropped 60 or so spots in the back end of the draft to have a punt on a formerly great talent. Worth a punt, because he’s not taking anybody good’s roster spot but I can’t see if working either. But if that 5% chance that he does recapture his 2013 form comes off, then wow...
