Prick dropped his first pass, hope thats not a harbringer for the day!

Happy Turkey Day all!

The winless Lions with Goff starting at QB vs. the Red Rifle, lol i can barely hide my excitement for this matchup...at least the Lions used to have Stafford, now it's just Dan Campbell's emotional post-game pressers.  

Taco, Maddogs, and Tamalpais Temptations fighting for the last two playoff spots currently sitting at 6-5, needless to say, whoever loses this week will put themselves in a very tough position, so good luck everyone!

Well since Psychotics are starting D. Mooney, i say Marquise Goodwin (hope the shoulder injury won't bother him) will score one of the two touchdowns that the Bears will have, Monty will likely be the other one to feast today.

Happy 🦃!

Those are fighting quotes right there.  Gonna have to flip on the cheat code and add another receiver for this week. I'm coming for that #1 spot!  And all the giants have to do is win 6 in a row and they will hit exactly what I thought they would!  I still expect 9 maybe 10 wins will win the division.  I can see the cowboys skidding sideways from here.  As long as the giants beat the eagles and the cowboys next game all good in the hood.

Sounds like your describing my team here, CMC, Carson, Michael Thomas, & Robert Woods were all drafted on this team!



This is the lineup this week.

How is your guy's league going?  I would love to see a screen shot of the league standing if you guys feel comfortable sharing that ( not sure why you wouldn't, just saying tho).  I have said that I was done in all my leagues before, but now that is official lol.  Losing Henry, Ridley, Michael Thomas, & Robert Woods was a death blow.  On top of that I've had an insane amount of injuries/illness .. CMC, Carson, Aaron Jones, Lamar Jackson, Michal Carter etc.  Been a tough year to say the least.

Only because you asked; not to be interpreted as taunting ahead of my matchup with wheelz:

However, did everyone assume or expect that Daniel Jones would bring them to the playoffs or have a positive win and loss record for the season? I am not a football expert but I think another failure was assumed by much of the observers before the season begun. Similar to the Jets or the Washington football team.

Daniel Jones has more losses than wins with 11 wins and 26 losses in his career.

As a yankee, knick and giant fan I don't think I would be able to get to many free beers inside a Boston bar  

As an aside my neighbor is from right outside Boston so it makes those games a lot more fun.  Especially the 07 and 11 superbowls

And then the 03 Aaron f*ing Boone game lol.  But 04 pretty much erased that good feeling.

Knicks...well they just suck so lol

Giants still have a chance:

But yeah I feel you. Move to Boston would be my advice.

Giants threw up yet another stinker.  I guess the good thing that came out of last night's loss was Garrett was finally fired!! I mean what took this long.  Unless some end of year miraculous run (ain't happening) gentlemen the gm will be fired too, and will assume the new gm will want his own coach so judge will be gone too.  Start all over....again.  getting painful being a fan of this slop.

LOL, I was getting ready for a little bit of Fantasy drama and then this happens, I knew that with the exception of an injury I was losing our match but I was at least expecting for the Giants Defense to make it interesting but it did not happen, in fact I did not even watched the TD live as I went to get a beer and then when I came back I realized I had already lost on the very first drive of the game, so I did the only logical thing I could do at that point... get another beer.

That didn't take long.

Looking forward to Bill/Pats games, I hope they are in a blizzard.

I hope Mac Jones isn't Brady 2.0 because Brady is kind of a dick.  Did you guys see him on Payton and Eli's MNF broadcast a few weeks ago?  He said defensive players are like "dogs chasing cars."  He also made a reference to the level of intelligence in the defensive conference room.  I mean, okay, maybe he's not wrong, but show some tact, dude.  Every NFL team has defensive players, including yours.  Makes one wonder how much (or little) intelligence is required to be the GOAT QB...


That -1 point put you 0.68 points ahead, that's all it takes, congrats on the win.


That's impressive, you had a couple of big performances this week.   Maybe Derick Carr is your good luck charm. 

I don't think the weather was that big of a factor, it shouldn't be an excuse for the Bills who were just bad/average yesterday. They are now 1-3 against good teams, or teams not named the Fins, Texans, WFT, Jets, and so on. They struggle against teams that can run the ball and control the time of possession, i mean, how many touchdowns did D. Henry have against them? Yeah, i'm not surprised they lost, they fell behind early, Allen was forcing passes since they don't have a running game, one-dimensional and easy to defend/game plan for...i can only wish them luck against the Patriots, whom they face twice in the next few weeks.


Congrats on the win! A thriller to the last throw pick... I think this is my third loss of the season, in both forum leagues, within a point or two. I had one close win last week, so it's not all that bad.

1 point in FF goes a long way:

Dak had to throw that interception with 1 min left as if the fumble and the first interception were not enough, all this while my other QB recorded 3 rushing TDs.  
Bass missed two FGs and the Bills went for a 2-point conversion on their last TD in the 4th, game was obviously over at the time.
Browns D/ST had zero sacks (1 point for each sack) against Tim Boyle and the Lions. Browns were avg 2.5 sacks per game, recording at least one in each of their previous 10 games.


Anyways, i hope Godwin scores today! 🤞

Big game for Jonathan Taylor, netted me 50 points alone just on his day.  Crazy day of football.  The most shocking has to be the titans.  Losing to the Texans like that is crazy.  Tannehill with 4 picks.  Hopefully tonight the giants can throw up a competitive game.  Fully expect Brady to pick them apart but one can hope lol.

It might still work out for them. If they win just enough games to get into playoffs but not have home field advantage, and get playoff opponents in the more southerly climates, and SB is in LA

Anyway, pass issues aside, there was also a costly kick return fumble, and their "best in the league" (ok, maybe 2nd or 3rd best against the run but still) defense was quite disappointing too.

The Bills collapsed, there is no doubt about it and it could have been even worse, but I think the weather had a lot to do with it, there was a lot of wind and rain, so the potential of the passing game was limited, this was not a problem for the Colts but the Bills are a passing offense and were unable to adapt to the conditions on the field, and when we add that Taylor was inspired then this explains the meltdown of the Bills.

However what I find odd is that the GM created such kind of offense when they play at Buffalo, it is no secret that when players get to know they have to play at Buffalo they look at the calendar and curse their luck if they have to play there in December, so they either build a dome, adapt their offense to focus more on the run, or somehow Josh Allen trains himself to perform better under those weather conditions or we will keep seeing games like this one, in which they are being affected by the weather conditions at their home turf.

My other team that I lost ALL my WR's friday and A jones might just win.

These are the WRs I scooped off the wire (nothing there in a 12 man league).



I think I chose well!

Last minute field goal by Joseph of the Minnesota Vikings sends the Green Bay Packers packing with a final score of 34-31. This match was nail biting as it went all the till the dying minute's of the game when it got tied at 31 all... for a second I thought the packers would steal the win but Greg Joseph was in beast mode and couldn't let this happen and delivered the win by a FG, what a game it was!!

And in the earlier match, that was a shocker for me....Indianapolis Colts demolishing the Bills 41-15 was not in my books because the Bills didn't just come into the game as favorite but were on a 3game  winning streak playing on their home turf but the colts put a stop to it, bravo lads.

This is one of those days again... Bills collapsed bigly... Deebo gets a running TD and Chubb gets a receiving TD... luckily Taco gets negative points from Bills too LOL... so maybe there's still a chance for me.
