My team is ready vs. Hueristic's Barbarians! I predict this to be an upset because the Patiots defense will for certain stop Josh Jacob. The defensive team has kneeled in front of Bill Belichick and promised never to repeat their very embarassing performance against the Saints, according to sauces.

I predict Thielan will have a career day and crush me for being impatient and cutting him too soon.
*If I had kept him and played him last week I would have won lol

Lol..I just took a look at your matchup versus Hueristic's team, and you've certainly got your work cut out for you, but it's not like you don't have a chance.  I'm not real sure why you have Derrick Henry out of the starting lineup and have Cook in over him..but..you've still got a solid chance.

I'm not sure Bill Belichick is done having awful games.  That team is god awful, and I just don't think he's the coach/GM he use to be.  To me he's lost a few steps and this could be his last year with the Patriots.

I've been saying he's washed since he used a washed Cam and its only gotten worse. Its funny I used to get Dogpiled for saying that but the fanbois are finally getting it through their thick skulls that he should either stick to Defenses or Retire.

Can Newton was an error in judgement.  I think he did that on purpose to show the world that he could win a Super Bowl with any QB, and his success wasn't tied to Brady.  Kind of backfired on him, if my suspicion is right.  Anyway, I'm not sure he's washed up completely, but he definitely needs an offensive overhaul.

Back in the day he would make players take pay cuts, throw them to the wire and then grab them back (Blount) but now he throws bags of cash at Has been losers like Juju, Parker, Zeke and refuses to admit he can't draft for shit and keeps that moron Jones in when Zappy does just fine.

BTW, Congrats on being the only undefeated team!

Congrats aswell from me! It was close, still mad that I did not cracked u last gameweek!
Did a big mistake on MNF. Should have used AJ Dillon for Davante Adams on my flex spot but I gambled it. Actually, my original plan was to use him because Adams was questionable the whole week.

Next time I will get ya!

Yeah, AJ's numbers flashed into my vision when I checked Monday evening, and my stomach dropped.   

Then I realized he was on your bench and I actually felt bad for you.  GG!

You are absolutely the best losing team in the league IMO, Your 190+ point week was insane.

You've just been running into freight trains that are just a hair bigger, but that will change.

Good luck to you also, you will need it hehehe.

I am only speculating that James Cook will play much more better like a demon after their loss vs. the Jaguars. Also, the Giants' defense against rushes is not very good compared to the Ravens defense which Derrick Henry will be playing against.

On the Patriots, similar argument. Their defense will play like demons after witnessing an embarrassing loss against the Saints. They might also win the game.

Football is great and all, but why can we only bet on the game when it’s clear that all people really care about is how many time the camera is going to show Taylor Swift, how many times the commentators are going to mention Taylor Swift, and when Taylor Swift will be leaving the game? I mean, Taylor Swift…

I hope so.

Yeah first weeks were tough tho. And because where are a 12-man league I will have to face the beasts once again. 
But I will be prepared for the next time! Watch out guys.

Seriously... at the beginning it was too much input for me but now this is more and more fun each week. Already in for the next season if you guys plan it.

I feel your pain, last week the Chiefs were on TV and I was about to switch channels when I remembered that Taylor Swift could be at the stadium so I just watched another game as I did not wanted to deal with 30 cameras pointing at her during the whole game.

And when it comes to the first round pick of next year, the Bears and the Giants have been mentioned, but the Patriots are right there, I do not think Belichick even needs to try to tank, the Patriots are that bad, and it is for this reason I am all for Mac Jones remaining as the starter since Zappy could win us a game or two by mistake.

Seriously... at the beginning it was too much input for me but now this is more and more fun each week. Already in for the next season if you guys plan it.

This is the third edition of this league and it has done nothing but to grow bigger each year.

We will have a fourth edition, do not worry.

It's gonna be a battle but in a 17 game season teams always win a couple by mistake.  Honestly after this week the giants schedule gets easier and if/when they get saquon back and their starting left tackle they should squeeze out a couple games.  They actually play the Pats soon.  Think carolina is in line to win the worst record and the Bears own that draft pick.  Giants should end up with 4 or 5 wins.

If it was easy then it wouldn't be any fun now would it?

Each win feels like a major victory, we have a great bunch of players that bring the A game every week!

Dude this has to stop.  I can't fucking take it anymore.  As some of us have discussed in the Discord chat group, I think Taylor is a sweetheart of a girl, I think she's a very positive female role model for young girls who make up the majority of her fan base, but for the love of god the majority of the NFL fan base is not interested in when Taylor is at a game, where she's sitting, who's she sitting by let along getting MULTIPLE Adam Schefter live updates during the game about her. 

She getting in that Kardashian type of territory with me, though believe me I know she's nothing like that swath of lowlifes. Speaking of what shitcoin scam is Kim promoting these days?

I was watching the Chiefs vs. the Broncos and on halftime one of the cameras was filming a bookshop which might have been near the stadium. On the the stand near the cashier were books about the NFL and beside these books were the books written by Taylor Swift hehehe.

In any case, are the Chiefs revenues and profits going down? Would it be shocking if this relationship between Kelce and Taylor Swift is fake and this was only another marketing tactic? It might also be working, I reckon.

Funny, but it is Taylor the one that should leave us alone, if we were to create a Venn Diagram with two sets of data, NFL fans and Taylor Swift fans we will find out the number of people in the intersection of both of those set groups is minimal, so Taylor and her fans get to invade and ruin Chiefs games for everyone else, but maybe the NFL is enjoying higher ratings during the Chiefs games, but are the Chiefs selling more merchandise because of her other than Kelce’s jerseys? I doubt it and over the long run this could affect them, since they went from the current champs looking to repeat, to become nothing more but a footnote on a celebrity gossip website.

Neither the NFL, the cheifs, nor Taylor Swift are losing money right now it's quite the opposite.  The NFL is better than it ever has been.  They are using this to onboard new fans (Taylor's fanbase) but it's not because they are hurting.  Just with any business you cash in on these opportunities.  Just sucks everytime you watch the cheifs you have to deal with it.  In the end people are going to get more annoyed and stop watching if anything.

I mean who knows if it’s really real or fake, though I’m honestly not of the conspiracy opinion on this one, I think Kelce legitimately is interested in Swift and is using/used his platform to make something happen. Good on him, I’d do the same.

But one thing is for sure as you’ve said, this is only a net positive for all parties involved money wise. Swift has her tour and movie coming out, the NFL brand is huge etc.
