>implying the NFL isn't rigged
Much to the delight of DeAngelo Williams, Steve Smith Senior, and Josh Norman, apparently the Panthers fired their GM today (http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/20087983/dave-gettleman-carolina-panthers-general-manager), which made me remember that Ftahdr is a human being that exists (https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=302). I'll be honest, I'm only making this thread as a honey pot because I want his reaction to this news. But eventually we'll get around to fantasy stuff too. (Who's gonna roll the dice on Ezekiel Elliot this year?)
-
LOL REDSKINS
-
I'm sure Allen was just really heavily invested in the Kirk Angle scandal storyline on Monday Night RAW.
-
Wonder what disaster will befall the Chargers this year. Will it finally be the year the team stays intact while Rivers breaks a leg tripping over his 11 kids?
-
Wonder what disaster will befall the Chargers this year
"No one showing up to games" is the most likely scenario.

(Who's gonna roll the dice.....this year?)
(http://i.imgur.com/CgJRVaw.png) YOOOOOOOOOOOOOU RAAAAAAAAANG?
-
"No one showing up to games" is the most likely scenario.
But that's every year for the Chargers
-
The depths of people not going to chargers games has yet to be fully explored
-
Better watch your step or Dante Fowler will throw your groceries in a pond
-
In for another year of Rodgers carrying GB to the playoffs with another early exit.

Notably fragile QB playing for notably injury-prone team?
What could possibly go wrong.

Truly a masterpiece.
My body is ready for Fantasy Injuryball. :V
-
Today's loljags news: Brendan Albert just retired.
-
At least we don't have to pay him now.
Would've been nice to have something resembling a quality starter at LT. I think Cam Robinson will be up to the task but probably not as a rookie.
-
Speaking of the WYTS articles, you ready for tomorrow, Edible? :3
-
I won't be ready unless I can drink at work.
-
Just sneak it in via a mountain bottle like people used to do in high school.
-
The article feels fairly tame by WYTS standards, but holy moley did Del hit a grand slam with his submission.
-
The team hasn?t had a winning season since the iPhone came out.
:fail:
-
The last few weren't that great, but the Jets one (http://deadspin.com/why-your-team-sucks-2017-new-york-jets-1797496551) is a fucking classic.
-
My favorite part is how the fan comments open with more drunk and frustrated one-liners than total fan comments other teams got/will get.
-
Chargers challenging them. Rightfully so
-
So I want two things out of this season, and it's the same two things I always want.
-I want the Ravens to lose and lose horribly, because I'm a Neohioan and I do not forget or forgive. Nursing a grudge is our state sport.
-I want the South to lose, because it will hurt them worse than many other things will.
If I can have these. I will be happy. If I have to pick one, I want the latter first. That's my foobaw take.

I think you're going to get both of those. The AFC South is probably dogshit again this season, and the Ravens are literally going to start Ryan Mallett.
-
That's the second best news I've heard all day. =]
-
Invariably.
Also, the Bengals turned down a 2nd-round pick for AJ McCarron. I'm not sure what that says about how the Bengals feel about their starting ginger.
-
I hadn't realized how much pleasure the rest of the NFC South took in the most recent Super Bowl. I had always assumed everyone across the land was mad.
-
It was a lose lose proposition to me. Either way, the Trumpists win.
Also please let me know when Deadspin(?) tells me why the bengals suck. I like to keep up to date.
-
Already done. (http://deadspin.com/why-your-team-sucks-2017-cincinnati-bengals-1797628436)
-
It's as beautiful as I had hoped for!
Goddamn there are some essays in the fan commentary.
-
So when are we going to draft? And who is in?
-
Probably right before week 1.
Gonna be harder to find peeps this year though.
-
Every one since the Jets has been magnificent.
I'm not sure what to do for peeps this year, honestly.
-
Im still in if were playing again
-
oh boy oh boy oh boy it's here (http://deadspin.com/why-your-team-sucks-2017-minnesota-vikings-1797851777)
-
I hesitate to ask this, but...is there any team that's not a trainwreck held together by metaphorical and perhaps physical duct tape in some way?
Because searching for one reminds me when the political map thread went through every country on earth trying to find one that wasn't shitty some blatant and should-be-easily-fixable way, and came up empty.
-
Holy shit the guy that got burned by the Vegas bookee
I hesitate to ask this, but...is there any team that's not a trainwreck held together by metaphorical and perhaps physical duct tape in some way?
Off the top of my head:
* Patriots
* Steelers (arguably, though Le'Veon Bell has a roll pulled out and ready)
* Raiders (!!!!)
* Cowboys (arguably, though Ezekiel Elliott borrowed a roll from Le'Veon Bell)
* Packers
* Falcons
That's, uh, basically it. There are a number of teams that could also maybe be good (Chiefs, Broncos, and Seahawks primarily, maybe the Giants and Ravens if you squint hard enough) but ultimately will not sniff their respective conference championships.
-
Okay. And of those, which ones aren't filled to the brim with ethical and moral disgraces? Like, the Pats are right out by that metric.
-
Probably just the Packers and Falcons.
-
More than I expected!
-
That's why you don't bet total wins for a season but oh my god that burn was the best thing ever
-
Let's talk about fantasy this year.
I think we can count in as definite: Kilga, PX, yuyukos, Zent, Purvis, and myself. (Putting Zent and Purvis in definite because they actually posted in this topic :V)
Maybes are: Vic (moved to Japan but we may be able to schedule the draft when it's convenient for him), Hain (Hasn't posted in here yet but is still around as far as I know), and Kilga's and my respective mostly-off-site pals.
I think we may be able to fish for 10 this year. Thoughts?

I posted 4 days ago that I was in =p
-
I'm mostly around right now because of the WYTS articles, but, hmm. If there was a time to try out fantasy football, I guess this year could be it?
:munch: Put me down as a "maybe", It's still the preseason, so i still have time to ponder.

We're really laid back about the league, and it's free, so this would be a great starting point if you're interested.
-
I am totes in if you need someone to round it off. But if you end up with a round number already, don't worry about me.

I await the annual Panthers Preseason Hype Update text dump with great anticipation
This week, but I can do my post SB write-up right quick:
Fuck the Falcons and the city of Atlanta forever and ever Amen. All these pundits out there thinking that the Falcons are gonna be good this year are completely fucking delusional. This is a team that once scored 2 points in a playoff and are the owners of the biggest comeback DEFEAT in Super Bowl history and you think they're gonna bounce right back? Fuck outta here! You saw the Panthers choke after their SB loss and that wasn't an actual historic beatdown. You think Matt Ryan gonna stay calm and collected? Freeman signed an extension and then got hurt. Their incredibly ridiculous stadium origami roof still doesn't work. You think they're gonna stop the Bucs this year? Winston got the most terrifyingly underrated receiving corps in history and they're getting ignored to slob the Falcons' knob yet again. Falcons staying the hell home this postseason.

Ahahahahahahahahaha!
Things like this are why I love this thread.
-
Blake Bortles is so terrible, he might have actually lost his starter position to Chad Henne.
-
I mean, it's not like Bortles has done anything but being really good at padding his stats after the Jags are down 21+ in the 4th.
-
Change the thread name to Madden: The Gathering.
-
The only thing I am excited for this season is hearing JEEEEEEEEEEEM or Romo say “Semen goes deep to Butt!”
Good.
-
Kilga, should we nail down a tentative draft time? Maybe the evening of 9/3?
-
Sure, I'll do that now.
-
ugh, that's probably the worst time possible for me since I'm heading to Tokyo for a meeting that morning on the train. Gotta be out the door by 8:30pm your time, so unless we can end it for sure before then I'd prefer a different time
-
I just bumped it up an hour.
-
Fuck, I forgot Vic was on a train then. He literally told me in advance too ;_;
Edit: I also don't mind doing it, for instance, saturday night if that works better for all parties.
-
I can do whatever time if we do it on Sunday.
If we do it on Saturday as long as were done by 10pm EST Im good.
-
New time works for me
-
Works for me
-
Who do we need to eject? I think Zirene is safe for removal unless he suddenly reappears. Anyone else?
-
Hakurei Hamsters and Paul's Perfect Team are out.
Edit: I haven't seen Xavier around lately either.
-
When's the draft? 9/3 evening? What kind of evening we talking here?
-
Yeah, sounds like 9/3 at 6pm.
-
KagiyamaHina says he's in for another year
-
:dragonforce:
-
Daaamn, poor Edelman.
-
Yeesh. Here's hoping Cooks picks up the playbook okay and that we can at least get a playoff run out of Amendola.
-
Bought my GamePass so I'm all in on football this year!
-
Do we have a full list of confirmeds? Week until the draft, figure it's best to iron it out now.
-
Braving the dangers of expired security certificates to post, is the draft finalized for Sept.3, 6 PM EST?
Despite being top-10 all-time in literally every QB category and being a mortal lock for the Hall of Fame, it is impossible to win any argument about Eli because there?s no rebuttal for his dumb face.
Ahh catharsis.
-
It has legitimately never occurred to me before as even remotely possible, but today's Magary made me realize that not only does Eli deserve some HoF considerations, but he actually has a halfway-decent case. In my head, he's been 27 years old ever since he joined the league and is a turnover machine that constantly has a look on his face that matches the one Jay Cutler had from that one .gif where he accidentally got smacked in the face by a ref. But then I stopped and thought about it and remembered that he has two Super Bowl MVPs and a ton of longetivity.
Even after writing that, it still feels weird to think of him as "good", let alone potentially HoF-worthy.
The draft is as finalized as it's going to be barring multiple people meeting unexpected disaster; I certainly don't intend to reschedule it for shits and giggles.
Teams have been culled down to 8, which means that, unless we get back up to at least 10, two important changes will be made:
* The playoffs will be trimmed to four teams.
* Roster sizes will be expanded. I haven't decided exactly how much yet, but you can all count on the return of TWO QUARTERBACK SLOTS HELL YES EVERYONE CAN EAT MY ENTIRE ASS
-
The only way 8 teams is fun is with a 2 QB league. I'm on board.
Re: Eli, honestly he's been a HoF shoe-in since 2007. It's annoying because he's not great, but he's never missed a game and he's in a massive sports market and he had The Catch and he won two superbowls. But jackoffs like Joe Namath are in, and that's why Eli will get in.
-
I'm fine with roster increases as long as they aren't to the point that I need to pick up Running Footballman or Heisman Trophy in week 13 because they're the only available WR
-
2 QBs seem fine for an 8 team league
-
Lions just gave Stafford a 5 year/135M contract, 92M of it guaranteed, making him the highest paid player in the NFL.
My only thought is LOLIONS
-
Well that's disgusting.
-
Stafford is 5-43 against winning teams, only 1 of those wins is on the road.
-
Stafford is 5-43 against winning teams, only 1 of those wins is on the road.
Plus 0/3 in the playoffs. 0 division titles.
Stafford basically got paid because the Lions are idiots and Stafford is good at padding his stats in garbage time.
-
I think it's worse than that, tbh.
Those dollars are merely the Competent QB Tax and it's never gonna go away.
-
Even worse than that is that a reasonable argument could be made that Stafford is a Top 10 QB in the league right now, depending on how one feels about Luck, Manning, and the shambling corpse of Drew Brees.
-
You can absolutely make the argument that he's top 10, along with other ??? QBs like Eli and Cousins. It's a little weird, because saying "Kirk Cousins is a top 10 QB" just feels wrong and yet, are there really 10 starters better than him?
When Brady and Brees retire (next year?) it's gonna be gross in the NFL. Roethlisberger and Rivers won't be long either. (Eli will probably play until he's 50 just to irritate Pats fans further).
-
Well, my thinking was this:
Rodgers Tier: Rodgers
Brady Tier: Brady
Top Tier: Roethlisberger, Ryan, Newton
Upper High Tier: Rivers, Carr, Wilson
Mid High Tier: Luck, A. Smith, Manning, Stafford, Brees
Mid Tier: T. Taylor, Flacco, Dalton, Mariotta, Prescott, Cousins, Winston
Mid Low Tier: Tannehill, Wentz, Palmer
Low Tier: Goff
Bottom Tier: Bortles
Shit Tier: Whatever garbage bags will get thrown out there by the Jets, Browns, Texans, Broncos, Vikings, Bears, and 49ers
That list may be overly kind to Alex Smith and Drew Brees but it might also sell several of the Mid Tier guys short (most notably Mariotta and Cousins), so Stafford's Top 10 competition sort of balances out. I would personally put Stafford down at #9 overall (that is, better than all of the Mid Upper guys), but I could see arguments for putting the guys on the same level as him slightly above him.
-
Oh, is the fantasy league still open for applicants or is it closed and finalized? Because I'd like to enter (even though I'd probably only make a half-ass attempt at a season, tbh, because I have never done a fantasy football team).
-
Signups are open to anyone that's willing to commit to an honest attempt at playing the whole season.
-
Remember when Luck was considered a top 5 QB and then the Colts ruined him? lol
-
It's not Luck's fault, but.
Fuuuuuck the Colts. They tanked a season and threw games to get the guy. I hope they never win another playoff game, ever. Also, Jim Irsay should be in fucking prison.
-
Okay. "Let's go."
How do I sign up?
-
I'll post the signup link in the thread tonight when I get home.
-
Okay. "Let's go."

Who's your team????
PX: you still pulling for the Chargers after the move??????
-
Should I just flip a coin for Chargers/Raiders? I'm from LA so the move would only affect me positively :V
-
The saddest part of being a Texans fan isn?t that our best QB ever is Matt Schaub. It?s that our second best is either the five years of David Carr or the one-year stretches of either Ryan Fitzpatrick or Brian Hoyer.
Holy goddamn.
-

>implying the NFL isn't rigged
Much to the delight of DeAngelo Williams, Steve Smith Senior, and Josh Norman, apparently the Panthers fired their GM today (http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/20087983/dave-gettleman-carolina-panthers-general-manager), which made me remember that Ftahdr is a human being that exists (https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=302). I'll be honest, I'm only making this thread as a honey pot because I want his reaction to this news. But eventually we'll get around to fantasy stuff too. (Who's gonna roll the dice on Ezekiel Elliot this year?)
man I haven't that name in forever. Now I guess I finally gotta write some shit about our GM. Fucking ugh.
OUR GENERAL MANAGER: DAVE GETTLEMAN HOLY SHIT THEY FINALLY LISTENED TO ME AND FIRED DAVE GETTLEMAN WHO BUILT A SUCCESSFUL TEAM DESPITE HIS COLOSSAL FUCKING INEPTITUDE AT ACTUALLY BUILDING A FUCKING TEAM! Thank the good lord that he's out, very strange that they waited until well after a pretty decent draft class to fire him. Let's see who they got to replace him, right after a take a great big sip of coffe-
MARTY FUCKING HURNEY!?
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?!?!? WE MANAGED TO HIRE THE ONE FUCKING PERSON THAT GETTLEMAN WAS CONSIDERED AN UPGRADE FROM? WHAT THE EVERLIVING FUCKING FUCK!? I HATE THIS TEAM SO FUCKING BAD!!!
Let's recap: Marty Hurney rewarded veterans and past successes with incredibly lucrative and undeserved contracts and by the time the salary cap really came around we (the Panthers) were in such deep deep trouble because Hurney had decided to pay RBs Jonathan Stewart and DeAngelo Williams and probably one other guy approximately 18 Gorillian dollars and we were quite literally in a literal hell literally not figuratively but literally. Due to these horrifically toxic contracts and his failure at evaluating talent and inability to field a competitive team, Hurney was rightly fired. Then we got Dave Gettleman who managed to do one and only one good thing in his entire tenure: get us out of the Marty Hurney Cap Hell Danger Zone Lana Archer Jokes For The Win Lol. He had very little goodwill with the fans and frankly should have been fired years and years ago because the man was atrocious at player management and somehow even worse(!!!) than Hurney at drafting! Let's start there: I honestly and truly believe that Dave Gettleman's childhood pet was once kicked by an Elite First Round Talent Offensive Tackle becuase Gettleman avoided them like the goddamn plague. He drafted FOUR FUCKING DEFENSIVE TACKLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in his tenure, all in the first or second round. HEY YOU GODDAMN MORON ONLY TWO OF THEM CAN PLAY AT A TIME oh and he fucking loved to try and convert players to positions they had never played before OH YEAH THAT'S THE GOOD STUFF! NOTHING LIKE A BAD DT PLAYING EVEN WORSE AT DE BECAUSE ONE OF THOSE MUST HAVE SHOT GETTLEMAN'S FATHER IN AN ALLEY LIKE SOME KIND OF FRANCHISE RUINING SUPERHERO ORIGIN STORY! His utter aversion to Oline talent led to his accidentally finding a stud Guard in Trai Turner and making Cam Newton RUN FOR HIS FUCKING LIFE EVERY GODDAMN WEEK so now when the dogwhistle racists say Cam is just a running QB I got no choice but to point at the tape and tell them YOU'RE GODDAMN RIGHT HE IS!
I've been on the "Fire Gettleman" bandwagon for years and the fact that he was fired at the worst possible time and replaced with the previous GM that was generally seen in pleasant terms as "garbage" is mind-boggling ineptitude. I can't wait for Hurney to give Julius Peppers a 1 year 58 mil contract because he's a TRUE PANTHER AND WE TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN! Fucking gag me, I never thought that our next GM would make me PINE for Gettleman before the first fucking game. Jesus Tapdancing Christ. I'm so goddamn mad.
-
You will always be Ftadhr the same way P-Man will always be P-Man.
We're still only at 8 because I haven't heard a response to this yet:
Kurzov: Give me an e-mail address that I can send an invite to.
-
I think we should probably cap it at 8 at this point. Doubt we'll find additional contestants with sub 24 hours until the draft.
See you all tomorrow!
-
I have added one each of the following slots:
* QB
* RB/WR
* WR/TE
* D/ST
* Bench
-
Pls remove W/T position, it's too much and there will be no viable WR by week 3
-
I will second that. I prefer limiting flex slots, adding to bench is fine, but we probably have big enough bench as is right now.
-
Yeah, 5 potential WRs might be a bit much. I don't mind either way though.
-
Yeah, 5 potential WRs might be a bit much. I don't mind either way though.
That would be the 6th actually
-
I changed it to a strict TE slot but if people would rather just remove it outright I can do that.
-
Remove pls
-
I'm okay with two TE slots, honestly. That might be fun.
Edit: also okay with removing it though. Either or.
Edit 2: Too late now :V :V
-
Draft time let's gooo~
-
We're all fucked this year.
-
Oops, forgot to set an alarm. Well, let's see what monstrosity Yahoo's autodrafter has wrought.
-
My team, as usual, looks fucking awful but will pay dividends in getting me into the playoffs but not winning the league. Ugh
-
Yahoo decided that only Purvis deserves an A draft grade this year.
-
Eh, this is actually not bad, though we're gonna be grinding that waiver wire real quick because of autodraft picking some injured bums.
-
Yahoo says I got a B- but was brutal in its assessment of my season. Heck off

MOTK 2017 SURVIVAL POOL LET'S GOOOOOOOOO
I think I want to actually survive for more than a week so I'll go with a gimme for now (and still probably lose):
New England over Kansas City
-
Irma over Buccaneers and Dolphins
Okay but seriously Buffalo over New York
-
Pittsburgh over Cleveland
Freebie
-
Broncos over the chargers
-
Looks like Zeke's suspension got upheld. (https://twitter.com/mortreport/status/905224425779363840) Joke's on whatever idiot drafted hi-
...
Hmm. (https://i.imgur.com/sIFg5hG.png)
-
You get him for week 1 at least
-
Panthers over Niners
-
I hope Tampa Bay and Miami players wanted a week 1 bye, because they were just handed one. Hope they don't mind playing 16 games in a row in exchange.
-
Fucked up, they shoulda moved the game to Atlanta (old Georgia Dome, Falcons in Chicago anyway) or New Orleans (Saints in Minnesota)
-
Schadenfreude, thy name is Why Your Team Sucks: 2017 Atlanta Falcons edition.

Myles Jarrett is out for a while with an ankle sprain (in the foot he didn't injure earlier this year). The universe has been gifted this tweet (https://twitter.com/Browns/status/905774037552566272) in response.
-
Aaron Hernandez got his conviction voided by killing himself. That was like the Tuck Rule of murder.
We might as well change our team helmet to MAGA hats.
The Patriots commissioned 283 diamonds in their Super Bowl ring, which somehow manages to combine the unsportsmanlike conduct of the Cobra Kai with the dickish gloating of somebody you blocked on Twitter sharing a screenshot of your block screen.

Welp. Football tonight.
Let us all light a candle and curse the darkness together.
-
There's IR #1!
-
Mike Gillislee, Rex Burkhead, James White and Dion Lewis are all active for the Patriots' Thursday night opener against the Chiefs.
BB just having fun out there.
-
And the Patriots have already won the season looking forward to 2019
-
Bengals over Ravens
yey football :V
-
I should forbid myself from taking patriots players. Already nearly 23 points from gillislee, but I just can't be happy about it.
edit: oh, I totally forgot about the survival pool. hmmm
jaguars over texans.
-
I think I want to actually survive for more than a week so I'll go with a gimme for now (and still probably lose):
New England over Kansas City
Oh my god
-
oh my god
-
Casual 4 TDs from Alex Smith against the Pats :o
-
Football is officially good again
-
Maybe this year will be the year the Pats go back to sucking.
...Or the Chiefs just got lucky. Sadly probably the more likely scenario. Man. :(
-
Every so often Kansas City remembers how to put together a full game.
I'm so, so, so pleased they did it to humiliate the pats at home for the season opener.
-
Didn't the Chiefs do this to Tom Brady a few years ago and then the Pats won the whole thing?
-
:(
-
Zeke has injunction granted, meaning he's likely gonna play every game this season
-
Ha ha ha! A victory for the... someone.
-
Didn't the Chiefs do this to Tom Brady a few years ago and then the Pats won the whole thing?

GB/Sea was a strange game. Just looking at the stats, you'd have thought that GB crushed Sea. Watching the game, I feel that it was lucky that GB even won.
This bizarro world of week one where the Bills, Jaguars, and Rams are all sitting alone in 1st place of their divisions.
-
Jeremy Lane getting ejected was horseshit. I feel a little bad for the Seahawks... but not too bad.
The Colts are hot fucking garbage, yeesh.
-
That's week 1 done. Had some great matchups, Jags won, everyone else in the AFC South lost, Bubuu Desuwas is on top in the league.
Everything's coming up Edible! ... Except for pick 'em :(
-
As a Chargers fan not once did I doubt they were going to lose that game
-
I figured you had retired from being a Chargers fan :V
-
Bubuu Desuwas is on top in the league
At least Renko had the decency to shit the bed in the loss. My other league's team has already succumbed to Edible Syndrome where I scored the second-most points in the league only to be clobbered by Kareem Hunt.
-
Kareem Hunt has caused an upset in literally every league I've been in, including this one.
I don't think he's gonna be that dominant every week, but still. What a fucking way to introduce yourself to the league.
-
Spencer Ware may as well try to sign with the Broncos now tbh
-
Kareem Hunt carrying my QB1's contribution of ONE FUCKING POINT. Fuck Dalton.
-
I do think Dalton bounces back from that game, but holy shit it was abysmal for him.

When your offense cannot do anything but turn the ball over and go 3 and out, the defense gives up after three quarters.

Omg these games all suc New England over Houston

Nonsense, there's plenty of safe choices this week. Even Indianapolis is a pretty good gamble.
Philadelphia over New York Giants

Steelers over Bears

Why would you get on the Colts? They're god awful

Because they're hosting the Browns and Brissett is a step up from Tolzien.

Browns are road favorites. Never thought Id see the day

I think I'm going to bench Sammy Watkins on principle because he's a flat earther. :colbert:

You probably should bench him on principle because he's a Rams WR.

I'm gonna reserve judgement on them until I see them play Dallas, next week. They beat the Colts and 49ers, who are in the running, already, for the #1 pick in the draft, next year. And they lost to the Redskins, who aren't really the best, either. They might make a run at .500, but I don't see them even sniffing a playoff spot
-
Ravens :V

Moderate competence from Dalton :V
also the Giants lost to a 61yd FG in Philadelphia, can't even be mad about that.

Wow, this week has been a loss in literally every regard, killed three of my four 'seasons' (both fantasy, survivor pick 'em here), and doesn't bode well for the fourth (the actual factual Patriots).

Call it a hunch, but I suspect the Pats are gonna be just fine. The last time they started 2-2, they won the superbowl.
The time before that they started 2-2, they went to the AFC title game.

TEs in general are injury risks due to their build. These guys are all effectively basketball players, usually 6'5" at a minimum, with weight to match. In a physical sport like football, your height and weight can give you advantages during plays but also can make your body more susceptible to injury.

Too bad about the Jags offense
-
Offense isn't even doing as badly as I thought it would, given they don't have their #1 or #2 receiver. Blake's still bad but he's making fewer boneheaded plays and Fournette is fantastic.
Obviously the big story in Jacksonville is the defense, though. Basically, don't even try to throw downfield.

Today's Jaguars Junction is top notch.

Packers fans are the most patient people on the planet, as evidenced by the fact that Aaron Rodgers is in his 10th year of being a starting QB and no one has yet rushed the field and strangled Mike McCarthy to death for crimes against humanity.
-
It's the Rodgers curse. He's so good he keeps covering for McCarthy who would otherwise be working on a fishing boat somewhere in Alaska otherwise right about now.
Also, who will be the first to bring down the almighty Bubuu Desuwas this season? Will it even happen? Do celebrities know things? Let's find out!

Honest answer, it's because, unfortunately, a majority of Packers fans are outright stupid and actually think Fat Mike is a good coach. The fact that Godgers doesn't have multiple rings by now is a crime against humanity.

So, the GB-NO line moved from GB -6.5 to NO -6. So we can actually quantify that Godgers is worth at least 12.5 points, alone.

well, the O-Line is all injured again, and we had only a single corner at some point last week, so he's probably only worth 11.5.

The Colts are abysmal. The Panthers look lost. The Cardinals are hopeless without Palmer. The Broncos are a shell of what they could be. The Falcons haven't recovered at all from the SB loss.
This has been an informative week.
Also, I'm still probably undefeated :V

Meanwhile:
* Everyone in the AFC East is, at the very least, decent, including the Jets somehow
* JAGS BABY
* Depending on the results of tonight's game, the best record in the league belongs to Carson Fuckin' Wentz

Parker inactive, Bryant "suspended," Pryor scored 0, 8 players on a bye.
Also, not that it would actually matter, but playing against the top scorer or 2nd top scorer every week feels bad man lol

Well, he kinda has Deshaun Watson who played a classic shootout and also has 2 double-digit DSTs for this week.

My question for this incident is the same as always: why are you punching someone who's wearing a helmet!?

Green will probably get suspended while Ramsey will probably not, so there's that, at least.
I wonder which WR meltdown will earn the longer suspension, Green or Evans?
-

Green gets zero games for choking an opponent and punching him in the head repeatedly, Evans gets one game for jumping on a dude's back.
I do not, and probably never will, understand the NFL.
-
Yeah uh I sure as hell wouldn't have bet on Evans in that hypothetical.
The only reason I can think of is that Green has more or less been a model citizen before this and Ramsey had been (allegedly) needling him all game, and that Evans came flying into a situation that had absolutely nothing to do with him and turned nothing into something.

Fat Mike should have been fired years ago
GB is in a similar situation where Indy was a few years ago when the lost Peyton Manning for the year. With Godgers/Manning, they're a playoff team. Without them, they're in competition for the #1 draft pick. People severely underestimate how much Godgers covers up just how bad GB is, overall.

When they replaced Favre with Rodgers I don't remember him being this bad. He talked Hundley up like the next for Rodgers and he's not even playing like the next Alex Smith
-
The Packers are almost unwatchably bad without Rodgers.
-
And so the race to be the first to accidentally sign Kaepernick begins. Houston vs. Green Bay!
-
0% chance that GB does. Kaep is still not a good QB and is in no way shape or form able to cover up just how bad GB is.
-
Not to say Green Bay is good, but he's a sight better than Hundley and is probably just good enough to keep their heads barely above water in the event Rodgers actually is able to return at the end of the season.
That said, I'd still pick Houston; they were legitimately a playoff-caliber team with Watson and Kaepernick is very similar in play style (as opposed to the literal dumpster fire that is the Savage/Yates/McGloin situation). Plus McNair may think it would help get people off his back.
-
I can smell it on the air: A derailing of the SS Bubuu Desuwas.
-
GB signing Kaep guarantees that GB goes 0-11, imo.
Wait, people might get fired of that happens, so that's actually a good idea...

I keep seeing these fucking playoff predictions that have the Falcons in over the Panthers and I don't know how much louder I gotta fucking SCREAM IT but the Falcons are STAYING THE FUCK HOME THIS OFFSEASON it's like these guys never fucking watch a game of football, like they treat it like it's a goddamn baseball game that can be reduced to a bunch of numbers on a sheet of paper. Insanity.
-
But Matt Ryan is white and Cam Newton is black. Obviously Atlanta is going to come from behind and take second place in that division.
-
... Jaguars/Chargers was a game. Christ.
-
Packers won, I'm finally gonna get another fantasy win, and Martellus Bennett is being exposed for the piece of shit that he is.
Today was a good day.
-
Hmmm I guess the only way I win this week against Kilga is if Cam breaks his leg or something on the first play. Uhhh, welp
-

Same. Basically need the entire Panthers offense and defense to completely shit the bed against the... who are they playing this week?
*checks*
... Miami. Right.
-
This wouldn't even be an issue if I hadn't panicked and stuck Hilton back in over Smith-Schuster at the last second. Fuck meeeeeeee
-
I'm still in first place, but no longer really feel I deserve it <_<
Losing my QBs and Zeke has really put a number on my team.
-
Well, if you lose again, you probably won't be in first after tiebreakers anyway :V
-
I love fantasy until I lose horribly then I hate fantasy again
-
Hey Vic
Cam Newton is pretty a'ight
-
Hey Vic
Cam Newton is pretty a'ight
YEAH NOW THAT THEY'RE FINALLY USING HIM ON DESIGNED RUN PLAYS WHICH ACTUALLY STRETCH THE GODDAMN FIELD SINCE HE'S PROBABLY THE BEST RUNNER IN THE ENTIRE GODDAMN LEAGUE BUT WHEN THEY WERE KEEPING HIM IN THE POCKET TEAMS COULD JUST FORCE HIM TO OVERTHROW HIS SLOW GIANT RECEIVERS (WHICH HE'S REALLY DAMN GOOD AT DOING) SINCE THEY KNEW HE WASN'T TRYING TO RUN! I STILL WANT MIKE SHULA AND MARTY HURNEY THROWN INTO THE SURFACE OF THE SUN BECAUSE GOD KNOWS IF WE DON'T WIN THE FUCKING SUPER BOWL THIS YEAR HURNEY WILL GIVE CAPTAIN MUNNERLYN A TRILLION DOLLAR CONTRACT AND WE'LL REGRESS SO BAD THAT WE'LL BE RELEGATED TO NAIA DIVISION 3!
-
And so, the saga of Zeke's suspension appeal doth come to a close, rendering him eligible to return in week 17.
-
I still have 237 running backs that I'm varying degrees of satisfied with. You want any? (I can't remember if the fantasy trade deadline has passed or not.)
-
Getting the shit kicked outta me by AB in my pay league. Getting the shit literally kicked outta me by Boswell in MOTK league. :(
-
who left Big Ben on his bench? well guess what, it's me
-
In light of todays performance, I am now doubting that Hundley is better than Kaep. However, I'm hoping that GB loses out and thus don't want to sign Kaep, in the event he luckboxes a win or two.
-
It'd just be easier to admit you're racist, you know <_<
-
I got a combined 11.70 points from my 2 starting QBs, not even 1/3 of what my bench QB did. I need one catch for 3 yards from Paul Richardson to win and I'm just not sure it'll happen.
-
You left big Ben on bench. You deserve to lose.
Also RIP Edible lul
-
You left big Ben on bench. You deserve to lose.
Based on what exactly? Save for week 8 (when Dak died) he's been he's been outplayed and outperformed every single week by either Dak or Alex Smith or both. Ben had also thrown for more than 300 yards only twice this season, one of which was a dud against Jacksonville in which he scored 7.58 fantasy points. Additionally, Thursday night games are notorious for terrible QB performances. Further, Tennessee has a good -- not great -- defense, but not one that would a very tantalizing matchup. Beyond that, I have a way better team than you this year.
In short: suck my dick you fuckman
-
FANTASY FOOOOOOOOTBAAAAAAALL
Karma for having every team shit the bed against me all season is finally catching up.
-
I may have whiffed on my early hype of the Bucs being the team to win the NFC South while the Falcons stay home, but that's currently the exact thing that is happening, just with the Saints subbing in for the Bucs
-
Oh fuck I'm now in first place in the league! I've gone into the playoffs in first 3 different times and didn't win the league any of those times. I gotta lose a game again!
-
:fail:
-
:( No more winning streak for me
-
:V
-
I'm so close to finally outscoring my points against :V
-
I'm gonna blame my unluckiness that I have the most points scored against me, by far, and not my poor drafting skills for my last place finish.
-
Why is this the one week I'm playing against Kyle Rudolph in both this league and my pay league :V
-
His red nose is lighting the way to the end zone :V :V :V
-
lmao the only good game today is Rams-Saints and it won't even been that good with 3 dudes missing on defense. they didn't even flex this game into SNF for some reason??? lmao just lmao
-
I imagine you don't want to hear this but I expect Panthers/Jets to be an enjoyable watch to a neutral observer. It's tough to flex Steelers/Packers out of SNF though, even if Rodgers is injured.
-
Psh who doesn't want to watch Blaine Gabbert go up against his old team?
-
I imagine you don't want to hear this but I expect Panthers/Jets to be an enjoyable watch to a neutral observer. It's tough to flex Steelers/Packers out of SNF though, even if Rodgers is injured.
It's a game that we *should* win easily but we also should have won against the Bears so stranger things have happened. The Jets this year are neither good enough nor bad enough to be interesting.
Regardless, it's on at 3AM Japan time so I should be asleep by then
-
GB is gonna get demolished tonight.
-
This is actually a pretty compelling game
-
OK after watching that entire Panthers-Jets game I gotta admit it was pretty damn Good even though both teams tried to give the game away at various points
-
Jeez, I barely managed to stay out of 3rd place this week <_<
I MAY NOT MAKE THE PLAYOFFS AT THIS RATE WHICH WOULD BE PRETTY FUNNY

I'm out of the playoffs, I don't know where this went wro- *looks at PA*

I fucking hate our terrible, awful, yellow-bellied, lily-livered, recreant, cowardly, sniveling little son-of-a-bitch head coach Ron Rivera. He tucked his fucking tail between his legs at the end of the first half with TWO FUCKING TIME OUTS and ran out the clock without attempting -- oh I don't know -- TO MAYBE TRY AND ACTUALLY MOUNT A FUCKING DRIVE BEFORE THE WHISTLE!? WE COULD HAVE AT LEAST GOTTEN IN RANGE FOR A LONG FG AS TIME EXPIRED! YOU KNOW WHO DOES THAT ON A *CONSISTENT* BASIS AND IS CONSTANTLY FELLATED BY THE SPORTS MEDIA AT LARGE FOR DOING SO!? BILL FUCKING BELECHICK, AN ACTUALLY GOOD FUCKING HEAD COACH AND ONE WHO SHOULD BE IMITATED ON THE FIELD! BUT NO! HE PLAYED SCARED AND TOOK A FUCKING DEFICIT INTO THE HALF BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT GOOD COACHES DO!
LEAVE MATT KALIL IN FUCKING NEW ORLEANS AND HAVE HIM HITCH HIKE HIS WAY BACK TO CHARLOTTE! HOW THE FUCK DOES A STARTING CALIBER LEFT TACKLE PICK UP 2 PENALTIES ON A PLAY IN WHICH THE QUARTERBACK STILL GETS SACKED??? SPOILERS HE FUCKING DOESN'T AND MATT KALIL IS SO FUCKING BAD THAT I WANT MICHAEL OHER BACK AND HE SUCKED WORSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
There is nothing on this Earth that is quite like Vic posts after a Panthers loss
-
It's time for me to have a little mini-rant of my own.
The "fire Mike McCarthy" Green Bay fans are blind. Nearly all the complaints are 'the players aren't any good' or 'he's fucking terrible (I don't know why that is, but people I know are saying it so it must be true, right?)' or "he can't scheme!". Really? What I saw in the last two weeks was a victory of scheme and personnel use against teams with more talent. The Steelers game should have been a blowout, yet it wasn't. The Buc's dominated the scoreline and were clearly the better team, but saving the read option until the end of the game to add just enough unpredictability and flummox a buccaneers defense that knew the run was coming (the box was absolutely stacked against the run). That's the kind of difference scheme makes. You can't coach a player into running faster, and the receivers weren't creating separation. That doesn't mean hundley played well, but Rodgers covers up those sorts of player imbalances.
They're right that the team is lacking on talent as a whole at this point, but I'm not sure what they expect after drafting in the 20's for a decade straight. That's the way the draft is built. What does McCarthy have to do with that, though? Or perhaps they think firing Coughlin solved all of the Giant's talent issues.
As for the complaint that McCarthy's record is only good because they have Rodgers, well yes. I recommend you look up Bill Belichick's record with the Patriots before injury forced them to play a no-name quarterback.
-
In actual coach firing news, reports are coming in that Ben McAdoo and Jerry Reese are fired. I'd like to attribute this success to my name change.
-
I'll agree that McCarthy has done well in Rodgers' absence, but there have just been too many times over the years where he's made some incredibly boneheaded decisions that have cost his team games for me to think he's actually a good coach. Whether he should be fired is another matter entirely, but I think he's on the level of "just successful enough" to avoid getting shitcanned and is otherwise slightly better than, say, Marvin Lewis.
Re: NYG, I think the Maras have been covering their ass re: the Eli benching and just threw McAdoo and Reese to the wolves. Not that they didn't deserve to be canned prior to the Eli fiasco, but...
-
Also, I think Kilga gets second place if Lev Bell scores over 14 points. I'm screwed <_<
-
Rumor has it Eli will start again next week. It never ends!
-
Im okay with starting the Webb kid and seeing what he's got, no point in starting Eli now, draft pick more important that maybe getting lucky and scrapping together another win or two. It's time to embrace the Process.
-
And now Gronk is suspended.
I'm gonna have a lot of fun in next week's playoff match.
-
Gronkowski appealing the suspension is dumb unless he's sure it'll get resolved this week. Who cares if you miss a game at Miami? Make sure you suit up in Pittsburgh.
-

He's appealing because if the suspension is enforced, he loses $5.5 million this year due to a contract stipulation.

That's some unbelievable garbage.
At least Rodgers is coming back to save the NFC from itself.
-
That's Wentz and Dalvin Cook in this league and Cook and DeShaun Watson in my other league. At least that other league has the decency to be a keeper league so I can hold onto Watson and Cook for the next 15 years; here all I get is the opportunity to pray that the Vikings don't suddenly decide that Bridgewater 2017 is a good idea.

Sorry for bouncing you, Purvis. You had a pretty good season all things considered, though.

This is now the 4th year I've finished first in the league regular season, the previous 3 times I've placed 2nd, 4th, and 2nd. Will this be the year I finally win as the #1 seed????????????????????????????????????

No.

Casual 8 win team here, winning the shittiest division in the conference for a guest appearance in the playoffs. :V

I was wrong! I was the #1 seed in 2013, not the #2 as I thought (and I was the #2 seed in 2015 when I thought I was the #1) so that means that I've only ever won the league as a #1 seed (or placed 2nd but fuck that)

Probably the Chiefs if it comes to it (Dad), or maybe the Bears (Mom's family)
And I'll withhold judgement until the investigation clears, but JER-BEAR would sooner sell the team voluntarily than face being removed

I'd put it at ~0% chance the NFL allows any teams to move any time soon after the mess that is LA.

Disagree intensely, if the team is sold them I'd put it at a high possibility that the NFL approves a corresponding move. I think the only way they wouldn't is if the Panthers win the Super Bowl prior to the move

Team's still not moving though, at least not anytime soon.

It should not be missed that a man accused of sexual harassment is about to make over 1 billion dollars in the aftermath

I think there's currently a 99% chance we play the Saints again during Wild Card weekend. If we win out and Atlanta beats the Saints then we'll get the game at home instead of in New Orleans

So Antonio Brown's out for the rest of the regular season, Wentz already went down, and Wilson completely shit the bed yesterday (not that any of his 52 teammates did any better). Does the MVP just kinda default to Brady at this point? If not, who gets it? Gurley? Bell? Some sort of weird Brees/Ingram/Kamara hybrid?

People are gonna make an effort to get anyone other than Brady the nod, but there's no one left who really deserves it unless they somehow manage to give it to a defensive player (CALAIS CAMPBELL JALEN RAMSEY AJ BOUYE YANNICK NGAKOUE COUGH). Anyway yeah Brady has it in the bag.
However, any DPOTY award that is not given to a Jaguar this year is utterly invalid. People keep saying Bobby Wagner and I'm like... this dude would be maybe the 5th best player on our defense at best.

The odds of the NFL requiring GB to release Rodgers is literally 0%
The odds of Rodgers actually reporting in some alternate timeline where it did happen is also 0%.
Rodgers is up for a new contract, anyways, so he would just be immediately signed by GB.

You sound awfully sure about the future of a team that just flagrantly violated NFL rules. Are you Roger Goodell?
Considering the NFL has to approve placing players on IR and the fact that the NFL is refusing to comment and directing all questions about it to GB, yes. It's the same rule (and punishment) that gets ignored when hurt veterans are placed on IR at the end of the year to evaluate younger players. "Multiple Teams" (aka Bears/Vikings/Lions) are making a stink because it's Aaron Rodgers, not that they care the rule is being broken.
Also, I'm Godger Roodell, not Roger Goodell, obv.
-
Yeah, the joke is that the rule is being broken but the NFL will never, ever enforce it for any player that matters. Maybe GB gets fined but I doubt it.

gg well played to everyone, another fantasy season in the books. At long last, the Onis have brought a championship to Cleveland Chireiden. I'd like to thank Todd Gurley II and Kareem Hunt for carrying me, and the Jaguars DST for making everyone in my pay league salty when I beat them, even though I actually finished 3rd there as well.
:V
-
To finish off the year, I lose by 20 points to a team that started 3 players on IR, 1 play OUT and an empty slot. That about sums up my fantasy season.
GG Everyone

Something good to say about the Giants, huh? They fired Ben McAdoo and Evan Engram's p cool. That's about all the good that can be said about this dumpster fire of a team.

The playoffs don't count toward the regular season win/loss totals.

-
Some team is gonna hire Mike Shula as a fucking HC and I pray that the Falcons somehow manage to sneak him in as OC I'm fucking laughing so hard

What is the most surprising is that they hired a new OC before the team was sold and, hopefully, before a new GM was hired. I doubt NORV was in really high demand and that they needed to act now. Still, can't be much worse than Mike Shula

Also your QB coach is now a guy I went to high school with

These dudes better have 1 year contract because if there's any regression this year then someone's probably gonna burn the stadium to the ground
-
Five field goals.
-
The failcons choking in the playoffs was so obviously going to happen
-
People thought the jags/bills game was bad.
-
Better see your team up here next week Edible
Don't let me down
-
Reminder that Panthers have never had consecutive winning seasons, so the staff is already behind the 8 ball. Add in a new owner? Oy vey
-
Blargh, no cat bowl.
Will there still be a Puppy Bowl? =[
-
Jags Steelers was surprisingly high scoring.
-
Heh heh heh heh heh. :>
-
Happy to see the Jags win
-
"Oh, looks like Minnesota won."
"Wait what, the Saints won? Wow, what a comeback."
"... Oh there's still time on the clock, but there's no way that-"
*Diggs TD* "THE FUCK?"

Ending of that game was satisfying.

Hell yeah, Brady/Bortles/Foles/Keenum conference championship game day

It's amazing to think that, in this day and age of "pass pass pass it's the only way to win", we were closer to a final four of Bortles, Foles, Keenum, and Mariota than Brady, Brees, Roethlisberger, and Ryan.
I guess "defense wins championships" will forever be the one constant in football.
-
Yo I don't know what you're talking about, but Bortles sounds like a fake name.
Or, like, a missable character in a GBA era fire emblem with goddamn shit growths.
-
That is actually a very accurate description of him.
-
Bortles is one of those characters with good stat growths in all the wrong stats
-
Okay that counts too.

Gimme Jags Gimme Vikes

I am a giant pile of nervous :(
-
aaaaaaa
-
Patriots and Eagles for 200
-
Hoping for the Jags to bring it home just so I can hear about Brady's hand for another week.
-
Good half until the refs showed up.
-
Hell of a game. Nothing bad to be said about Bortles, either.
-
RIP kitty dreams
Bortles wasn't even bad today really.
-
Jags tried to hide Bortles all game, it was bound to fail eventually.
Jags had 2 timeouts left with 55 on the clock and chose to kneel it out instead of attempting anything. If that doesn't prove that they don't trust Bortles then idk what to tell you.
Jags gonna fall off a cliff next season unless they replace Bortles, like the 2016 Cardinals fell off.
-
Bortles confirmed for jagen.
-
Patriots are gonna squash the Eagles and I really don't even care to watch it this year
-
Hey look, a fight on the field!
And I don't mean this game of football.
-
Don't really care who is gonna win a Philly vs NE SB, and I'll prob have to place some bets just to give me a reason to watch it.
-
Well... That quickly turned into a assbeating no one expected. So much for the "home field" Super Bowl.

Well, I guess Alex Smith is a Redskin now <_<
-
They couldn't (wouldn't) reach a deal with Cousins but they'll take Alex Smith and sign him to a 4 year extension? Snyder and the Redskins are cray cray. :o
-
Paid him more than they were willing to pay Cousins the last two years, too.
-
I'm looking forward to seeing Aaron Godgers vs Smiff in person this year

I think Carson Wentz just shit himself.
-
:( Damn.
-
Ain't that some shit?
How bad are the Eagles fans rioting? Did Tom Brady get pegged by a D-Cell?
-
Nick Foles, Super Bowl MVP.
Now there is something I'd never thought I'd say.

Time to trade Wentz!!!

Nick Foles: The next Joe Flacco or the next Kurt Warner?

Sounds like Philly was quite tame last night

You can't just say that and not provide ample storytimes. AND I DON'T MEAN NO ARTICLE LINKS NEITHER!

See, you say that, but it's so much easier when Deadspin has already compiled the seven hojillion video tweets into a single location. :(
Here's (https://deadspin.com/things-philadelphians-did-1822724326) a general roundup. The Ritz-Cartlon Awning got its own post (https://deadspin.com/the-saga-of-the-awning-1822717617) because there was a lot more to it than just the one video. (The horseshit-eating guy also got his own post, but there isn't really anything more to add to a man eating literal horseshit.)

ROFL FUCKING COLTS

There is no way McDaniels does this unless he's guaranteed the HC job with BB retires, right?

Andrew Luck is never throwing a football again confirmed
There is no way McDaniels does this unless he's guaranteed the HC job with BB retires, right?
Why would he want to be guaranteed the job when they don't even have a backup QB on the roster, much less the QB of the future?
-
This feels more like an 'unfinished business' decision.
-

I mean, pulling this almost guarantees that he'll never be a HC anywhere else in the league.

Schefter: Text from one league source: ?That?s Kraft putting it to the Colts again. He will forever try and (expletive) that place ever since deflate gate.? (https://twitter.com/adamschefter/status/961045214399025152)
Edit: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Also Schefter: On Sunday, ESPN's @mortreport reported there still are doctors who have concerns about Andrew Luck's shoulder and whether he could wind up needing additional surgery. (https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/961059785561997312)
(https://i.redd.it/aujp9skl0pe01.jpg)

RIP Luck' s career, at least he has endorsements
-
Ok then, yeah, if I was McDaniels and I heard that Luck might be more fucked up than previously thought, I'd be doing whatever I could to get the hell out of that decision.
-
Holy moley, Jimmy G got himself paid (https://twitter.com/MikeGarafolo/status/961668166211522561).
$74 mil of that is guaranteed btw
-
Yeah he did.
And Cousins is gonna use that contract as a baseline.
(Come on down to Florida where you don't have to pay income tax, buddy!)
-
He certainly will, though it'll be interesting to see if he actually gets what he wants, or if what's happening in baseball starts making its way into football.
