Chucked the rest of my balance at Giants to cover +8.5... hoping this will motivate Barkley to score big points for my team.

interesting time for a football game, works for me...

Turned on the game just as Barkley got injured and thought, Damn we really need MORE IR slots!

Then while I was reading this post I looked up and Barkley was back and caught that massive play!

Wow, what a game... totally makes up for Thursday's snoozefest.

It was funny getting the Yahoo! notifications on my phone: S. Barkley status changed from healthy to questionable... then minutes later: S. Barkley status changed from questionable to healthy. Then a few minutes after that, TD Barkley.

I'm wondering if all the British fans can keep up with the rules. They must have been super confused toward the end when the Giants elected to take a Safety... its like, who in their right minds does that. And then the recurrent play clock issues... geez. But it worked out to all be for the best, and I won my bet as well. 👌 👌

We should officially rename NFC LEAST to NFC BEAST!

Eagles are the only unbeaten team in the league, Giants absolutely rolling, Cowboys 3-1 playing with their backup QB...

My only hope was for him to stay on the sidelines to have a chance, so yeah looking really good for you...in before Kamara's second career 6 rush TD game.   Looool

THEE NY Giants!!  What a game that was to kick off the day.  As a giants fan I almost had them in the loss column before the game started.  Rodgers always kills the giants.  Down to practice squad wide relievers and corner backs this was a surprise for sure.

And with that my fantasy team is crap and looks like another loss incoming

[DireWolfM14]

What a busy morning, I'm exhausted already.  So much exactment, and all of it in England, lol.  I don't think my remote has ever seen so much action.  I was afraid it would over heat.

Lets not get carried away just yet, lol.  The Giants are looking like the real deal, but my jury is still out on the Eagles.  They remind me too much of how the Cardinals started out last year.

Funny, I'm the opposite.

I have zero faith in the Giants, I'll be surprised if they even making the playoffs.

I  tried to watch today's game, I really did. Unbearable puntfest. Even beer didn't fix it. I give up.

Fn god awful. I watched it just because I had money on Denver. Of course they end up letting me down. Wilson just does not look the same with the Broncos. Maybe it’s going to take some time to get acclimated with his receivers and what not but I dunno. Their offensive line was absolutely atrocious as well.

Did you watch the whole game? You have my respects if you did so, just like @suchmoon I tried to improve my experience with some beer but I realized it was not going to be enough so I quit at halftime.

And about Wilson I think he simply gave up, I remember when he said he wanted to win 6 SBs, and while those were big words I did not mind as I looked forward to see him to try to accomplish his goal, but now it seems like he is like Rodgers, interested only in the money and whatever extra he can get while he can.

Sadly I did lol.


Man my team is way too good to go 1-4.  I made a huge mistake with one of my positions choices, and like the moron I am I decided to listed to “experts” and of course my gut feeling was more than right and would have likely won me the game. These “experts” are often anything but. Listening to my hit period going forward.


In other funny news, amazing the Bears have hung in like they have. Would be funny if they pulled this game off.

Its about time Mooney decided to make a catch!

Bears had a heck of a game despite the loss. That Mooney catch was ridiculous. Not sure I expect much of the same going forward.

Meanwhile still loosing my mind over a bad call on whom to start. I wish I didn’t care as much as I do lol

I have Mooney in another league and it's disappointing.  Dude is an incredible Wideout but Chicago likes to ground and pound.  I'm sure as Justin fields progresses his playback will too.  Just hoping it's this year since I have Mooney 😅

Taco Corpse V/S Bombay Bengals  Battle of the week!

Relatively easy schedule ahead, @SEA, HOU, DET in consecutive weeks, then twice against the Commanders towards the end of the season, i think they should be able to make the playoffs, given their current record.

Taco Corpse V/S Bombay Bengals  Battle of the week!

If Andrews does not fumble the ball multiple times in the second half, i should be able to pull this one off. I was supposed to lose between 30 to 40 fpts (live projections), but the Cowboys' defense came through again, three straight weeks with double-digit scores...incredible, this might be one of my best comeback wins in FF.

GG @nutildah!

Agreed. It is very much 100% the opposite of what this division was during the season of 2020-2021 when the Washington Redskins was on the top only because all of the other teams had worse records hehe. The Eagles was on the bottom with a record of 4-11-1 hehehe!

I am beginning to be worried about Tyreek Hill now after speculations that Miami might also put Bridgewater in IR because of an elbow injury. There was also news of a concussion. Mike McDaniels should have also brought Jimmy G with him hehehehe.

[nutildah]

GG @nutildah!  

don't GG me sir after I was supposed to beat you by 20+ points, get great showings from a few key players, but then you out-great me, including getting 23 from your D, and end up stomping me.

[suchmoon]

Me an Chi are having the most pathetic match of the week and even though I only need 14 points today, it would be very on-script if I failed to get that much.

[nutildah]

Something's up with the Raiders only getting +7 against the Chiefs... dunno what it is exactly, but I'm in.

It's a long season so playoff picture is a long ways away.  Really can't start looking at it until division games are played and you are in around December.  Looks like the East will be a tough division this year so lots of football ahead that the giants have to win to even talk about it.  Lots of injuries starting to rack up as well.

[bbc.reporter]

I am not watching the game, but upon checking this score is shocking. 14-0 for the Raiders and it is only in the 2nd quarter.

Also, what does this mean for Christian McCaffrey? Does this change the Panther's way of playing? The defensive passing game coordinator will also be interim coach. Defensive. I am afraid defensive might imply less snaps for my running back hehehehe.



Once a hot $62 million hire, Matt Rhule fired during third season as Panthers coach

Rhule ended up being an expensive mistake for Panthers owner David Tepper. Before the third season of that deal was done, Rhule was fired. The Panthers announced the move on Monday morning. Rhule was 11-27 as Panthers coach. A listless 37-15 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday dropped the Panthers to 1-4 this season and was Rhule's final game as the team's coach. Rhule is the first coach fired this NFL season.

Carolina also fired defensive coordinator Phil Snow and assistant special teams coach Ed Foley.

Defensive passing game coordinator and secondary coach Steve Wilks, who coached the Arizona Cardinals for one season, will be the team's interim coach.

LOL Raiders pissed the game away as usual.

Anyway, I was worried for nothing, I got 15 points just from first downs.

My new theory is that if a line looks fucked up and is not giving enough points to the underdog, then take it b/c its a trap trying to get people to bet in the other direction. Same thing happened with the Giants/Pacs game. But really who knows, these games are wildly unpredictable, which is part of why they're so fun.

Just remember that even if your team loses, whether in fantasy or a bet, you will never lose as hard as Cumberland playing Georgia Tech on Oct 7, 1916.
