Yeah niners are continuing "the underdog beats the dog" theme of the last two weeks.

Is it just me or the NFL is even more unpredictable than previous years? I mean predicting the NFL has always been difficult but this is getting ridiculous.

Edit2: Let's take a moment to recognize Hueristic's valiant effort that has come to the inevitable mathematical conclusion. Cows still have a chance - need to win the remaining 4 games and need one of the 6-4 teams to lose their remaining 4.

Please insert ‘So you’re telling me there’s a chance’ meme.

The Cows are out of the playoff race, but still I would like to win at least one more game before the season ends, something that will be difficult taking into account I did even worse against the West division.

What is this? The Rams secondary appear to be choosing the wrong day hehe. I am only checking the score on Yahoosports app. How did they allow Samuel to the rushing touchdown? 11 more points for the Mooncoiners and he will win this.

Yeah niners are continuing "the underdog beats the dog" theme of the last two weeks. Unfortunately (or fortunately for you) I hedged this one so I'll be likely screwed if Rams don't get into the field goal range a few times.

Edit: I take it back, Rams can pack it up and go home, I don't need them anymore. Deebo FTW.

Yeah it's turned into a great ff league really.  Anybodys for the taking!

With that being said that 49er game completely surprised me.  This year is completely up in the air.  Outside of Zona (when Kyle is playing) every team looks average and beatable.

By the way, in case any of you guys want to "own" a piece of the Green Bay Packers, they're selling "stock" certificates for the first time since 2011.  (The words "own" and "stock" are in quotes because you don't actually own any stocks...  Read the fine print.)

It's more like buying merchandise except wearing a jersey doesn't mean you're prohibited from criticizing the NFL:

The NFL Rules prohibit conduct by shareholders of NFL member clubs that is detrimental to the NFL, including, among
other things, owning a financial interest in any other NFL member club or other professional football organization; loaning
money to other NFL member clubs or any player, coach or employee thereof or any football official employed by the
NFL; acting as an agent for any NFL player; publicly criticizing any NFL member club or its management, employees or
coaches or any football official employed by the NFL; paying an NFL player or coach; or serving as an officer or director
or otherwise participating in the management of a sports gambling operation. NFL Rules apply as they exist on the date
hereof and as they may be modified by the NFL. If the Commissioner of the NFL (the “Commissioner”) decides that a
shareholder of an NFL member club has been guilty of conduct detrimental to the welfare of the NFL then, among other
things, the Commissioner has the authority to fine such shareholder up to $500,000 and/or require such shareholder
to sell his or her stock. In certain circumstances, the Commissioner has greater disciplinary authority. The NFL may
also vote to require additional discipline. If the Commissioner requires a shareholder to sell his or her stock, then the
Corporation may have a right to repurchase the stock at $0.025 per share.

I am shaking my head on the spread on these 2 games. The Cowboys vs. Chiefs is +2.5 for the Cowboys and Greenbay Packers vs. the Vikings is only -2.5 for the Packers against the spread? The Cowboys and the Packers can win by a touchdown and they have lost only once against the spread.

WEEK 11 here we go...

I can't wait for the 28-3 reference being brought up and spammed to death throughout tonight's broadcast. IIRC it was Buck and Aikman on the call in SB LI, so no way around it lol (not a Falcons fan). I won't be surprised if they have a whole 2-3 minute segment on the subject in-between commercials/quarters.

Anyways, i wouldn't mind seeing the Patriots running game slow down a bit, don't want to sweat another 100 rush yards and 2TDs performance from of one their backs, and besides Moon Coiners have way too many wins, D. Harris/Rhamondre needs to chill, take it easy...please! 

Have a small wager on the Falcons' total points and R. Gage rec yards - bet.

Btw, Antonio Brown's fake COVID-19 vax cards rumor better not be true, i have big plans for him, he is supposed to be my league winner down the stretch.

Bitcoin is dumping today and there is a lunar eclipse coming so yeah... dark times for me.

[bbc.reporter]

I changed my quarterback from Tom Brady to Mac Jones only as a trial if I can win more points for this week. I speculate better performaces from Mac Jones for the rest of the weeks left which might win him rookie of the year.

@suchmoon. You reckon the bubble pop has begun? The bear season might have arrived earlier hehehe.

@morvillz7z. The NFL should accept that the vaccines do not work and breakout infections will increase. They should stop bothering players about vaccines.

[suchmoon]

@suchmoon. You reckon the bubble pop has begun? The bear season might have arrived earlier hehehe.

Yep. Bitcoin is definitely dead for real this time, only 2x up this year. I'm selling everything and buying Bears season tickets.

LOL hey now, back off my Bears 

Ugh god, just got the notification on my phone that Robert Woods is now out for the year after reading he tore his ACL in practice. Man, it’s one thing to tear it in a game, but in practice, that really freaking stings. Am the total point leader in my league but after losing Henry and now Woods, it’s safe to say my season is over in that league    

Sorry to hear that if I remember correctly you also have or had Ridley right? Those injuries are more than enough to derail a FF season no matter how good you are.

Yeah within a matter of just a couple weeks I lost Ridley, Henry, Michael Thomas, now Robert Woods..all star players of course.  Its been a really rough season when it comes to injuries, and not just injuries but season ending injuries.  I mean Henry is the best player in fantasy hands down, and even though Ridley and Woods weren't top 3-4 guys, they were up there and had plenty of potential for the rest of the year.  Mostly a lost year for me.

Great game last night, why did I only put $25 on the Patriots, I know better than that!

Unfortunately for the falcons that is the kind of defeat that never goes away, they could seriously decrease the number of times this is brought up with a SB win, but even then the stain will remain unless they can get a win that is just as spectacular at the SB, while not in the same proportion this is similar to what happened to the Oilers when they lost to the Bills by allowing the biggest comeback ever to a backup QB, and it was not until the Oilers moved to a different city and changed their name to the Titans in which they could avenge that defeat with the Music City Miracle.

Btw, Antonio Brown's fake COVID-19 vax cards rumor better not be true, i have big plans for him, he is supposed to be my league winner down the stretch.

According to Rapoport the Bucs inspected every single card given to them by their players and they found no irregularity on the vaccination card of Antonio Brown, so it seems your winning strategy is still in place.

Honestly and hate yo say this new England has a chance to make the dance again.  Their defense is sick, Belicheck has them firing away.  And Mac doesn't make a single mistake as a rookie, what an excellent answer for Brady leaving.  Think they have their qb for the next 10-15 years.

Side note...Khalil Mack out for the year with the foot injury.  Big loss for the Bears D, he was having a great year.

Yeah Mack is a huge loss.

Yeah but they’ve been playing well, and seem to be putting together a nice little team. No super bowl chances or anything but building something seeming legit for the future.

Yeah losing Mack kills us, but it’s not like we were heading to the playoffs anyhow. Some people were even calling for him to be traded being that the bears are at least a few years away from any playoff success and that it might just be better to get draft picks and rebuild the so so D. Unfortunately that now won’t be an option for some time.

They could have a playoff chance next year if they can keep the guys they've been developing healthy.

They beat Browns too albeit without Chubb.

But yeah I'd like to see them beat Bills twice, get to the playoffs, and win 7 Super Bowls before I proclaim Mac Jones as Brady 2.0.

I'd be astonished and amazed if they get to one in the next 3 years, but it would be pretty cool.

[bbc.reporter]

Mac Jones did not give my team more fantasy points as I speculated despite the hype on him after Thursday’s game. He gave me less hehe. He was projected to make 16 points, however, gave only 10.38. I reckon Covid Cam can make better than 10.38 if he is qb1 on Sunday.

You can bet on him Vulturing as many of CMC's TD's as possible.

Clearly the defense won Thursday's game, but that's evidence that Mac is in the perfect system for a starting rookie; his only job is to avoid costly mistakes.  It's seems obvious that he'll get better with more experience.  If he does earn the "Brady 2.0" title some day, Belichick should get the credit.

Yeah, but when you still have vulture attitude but ostrich execution it's only a matter of time until you get benched.  It'll be entertaining to watch, though.

Yeah, I can't see them winning anything with him at the helm.

Did you forget something?
