I just homered in and threw down a bet on the giants to win the NFL east. Why you ask. Well they're my squad and I'm a Homer better but... Danny's 3rd year he should take a leap. O line is greatly improved. Saquan should be back. Picking up Galloway should expand their deep game. On defense their secondary is going to be awesome. And lastly the ntc east might be the worst division in football so it's anyone's game for the taking. And don't give me that cowboys speech I don't want to hear it 😤
You guys can still draft Taysom Hill. 
Haha, Good one! I'd merit it but blew my load on the dudes new tat.
Any QB that starts for The Saints should be a fair draft though as its still a very high powered offense.

Let's see if I can make this simple...

There go my plans to draft Tebow in the first round, the best blocking TE in the league could not make the Jags squad, it's a sad day...
This is outrageous, my secret strategy to beat you all by using Tebow to fill every position and score 100 points each week is ruined, If I lose the league I will eternally blame the Jaguars for this. source: https://www.nfl.com/news/jacksonville-jaguars-release-qb-turned-te-tim-tebow

TE? I was going to draft him for my RB and WR slots. I mean it's Tebow after all. So when does Tebow go out to compete in the national curling league? All kidding aside it's amazing that he keeps getting all these wierd chances. Guess that's what jersey sales will do for your chances on getting invites

Should the players in my team not always be in the same bye weeks?
Its kind of hard to avoid... Things can take unexpected turns that throw a ringer in too much advance planning, such as injuries and possibly even canceled games and so forth.
What I recommend personally is:
Let's say your starting QB and backup QB both have bye weeks. And you like both of them so you want to keep them. You'll want to drop your weakest player to pick up a tertiary QB to fill the position that week. Maybe a QB who is expected to do well that week. Then you drop them the next week and pick up a player to fill whatever it is that you are lacking.
That is fine with me and I will update the league with this info, however there is a minor detail, technically speaking the east coast of the US is not observing EST(Eastern Standard Time) but the ET(Eastern Time) or more precisely EDT(Eastern Daylight Time) and the NFL and ESPN do the same, while most of the time this will not a big deal, if a member of the league unaware of this were to use one of those time zone calculators to see when the draft will be conducted at their local time and they used the EST they will arrive one hour late to the draft as EST is UTC -5 while ET and EDT are UTC -4, so I think it is more precise to say the draft will happen at Sept. 3rd, 8 PM ET? Or am I wrong with my assumption?
Let's see if I can make this simple...
I reckon the timer should be edited into the first post of every page by DireWolfM14 hehehe. In any case, I am excited and nervous for this. All my picks on the mock drafts I have joined do not end in the way I planned.

AFA bye weeks most people try to not have everyone out on the same week, if you do then you can factor in you will lose that week.

We also nailed down our draft time which is:
Sept. 3rd, 8 PM EST
Be there or be square.

I suggest we just use EST as our standard time. ESPN and NFL usually list game times according to EST anyway.

Or am I wrong with my assumption? I would definitely back chibit for the league. If we could at least get this to a 10 man league that would make it more competitive. 8an leagues are OK but make the waiver wire irrelevant which should be a critical part of a championship team. Anyone else down for a 10 man league? We could get chibit and I could find one more forum ember for sure.
Don't mean to be a bummer but we talked it over and decided it's probably just best to keep things as is. Mainly because we are a newb-heavy league, some of whom have been practicing 8-team drafts already. No disrespect meant to ChiBitCTy. Next year we'll definitely do a 10-team league.

Still haven't decided on a #1 pick.
Understood on the team size thing. Next year we should bump it to 10 teams. As far as Friday the 3rd that's perfect I will be on. The next night Saturday I just couldn't make it so appreciate it moving. Can't wait, putting together my cheat sheets now
. If you need help with that #1 pick just go ahead and take the jacksonville defense Don't mean to be a bummer but we talked it over and decided it's probably just best to keep things as is.

@ChiBitCTy, I hope you're not offended, please don't take it personally. The decision to keep it a small, casual league was discussed from the onset, and that's what attracted me to it in the first place.

Excellent, that works out great for me. Gives me just enough time to get home from work, take a fat bong hit, and log on to take my first pick... At number 8.

Jimmy G is terrible.
I wouldn't call Garoppolo terrible. He's 22 and 8 as a starter for the Niners, and that includes two losses that he started but didn't finish due to injury. Average passer rating as a Niner is 95, which isn't great but far from terrible. He's actually pretty darn accurate passer, even if he doesn't have a big arm. His main faults are that he's prone to injuries and he's less mobile than Tom Brady. For a pocket passing type offense he'd be a great addition.
I don't think it will be very long before he loses his job. Of course it's not like he really owns it atm anyhow, they are just bringing Lance in slowly like the Bears are with Fields.
I agree. Shanahan has never been thrilled with Garoppolo. Shanahan is one of the most brilliant offensive architects in the league, but Garoppolo limits his creativity. He's been salivating for someone like Trey Lance who allows him to spin some gimmicky option plays.
This guy is primed for a huge year. I'm def targeting him in all my leagues.
It doesn't matter who's playing QB, Aiyuk will get a lot of balls tossed his way.
I would be fine with any draft spot I could get. Buy-in is no problem. I am also available to draft literally any time, any date. If I'm being honest, 8 man leagues are pretty silly ( wheelz could back me up on that one ). 8 man means there are tons of great players on the waver wire at all times and it almost completely takes the competition out of it. Here's just one example of why 8 man isn't fun : you're in a playoff game, you've built a great team and the team you're playing against, who completely lucked their way in to the playoffs, has a good player get hurt/suspended or whatever and now they are able to go in to the waiver wire and get a very good player that shouldn't have even been on the waiver wire in the first place. You worked your butt off to get to the playoffs, or championship game and then some lesser team who lucked in to it in the first place easily picks up stud on the wire and ends up beating you. That takes the competition out of it and adds more luck to the equation. In FF, you want to remove as much luck as possible. 10 man is still a little shallow for my taste, because there are still too many good players on the waiver wire, but it's much much better than 8 man. I say with a ton of experience, you'll be very happy moving to a 10 man vs 8. I could provide more examples why a 10 man makes a lot more sense too. I would make 9 and I'm pretty confident we could find a 10th pretty easily. We are still a ways out from opening day. Would love to play w/you guys!!

I sent a PM to some of the members that have not expressed their preferences about the current date of the draft we are discussing and I also notified them about the desire of ChiBitCTy to join the league, lets see what are their opinions about it.
It has been a busy weekend for me but I could watch the game of NE against the nameless team and I liked what I saw from Jones, obviously he has a lot of things to improve but the offense looks like the offense NE has been running during the last decade so it was refreshing to see, especially compared with what we saw last year.
Just tried to find a gif of it but the results came up with soo many Cam fumbles I can't wade through them all!
Thats gonna be that guys legacy.
Maybe the ball is made of Kryptonite?
The legacy of Cam is going to be that fumble at SB 50 where he had a chance to dive for the fumble and he did not do it, he excuses himself saying it was too late to recover the ball or that he was in a bad position but the fact he did not even try was very telling.Thats gonna be that guys legacy.

First attempt; on the money, Aiyuk drops it.
Second attempt; gets sacked.
Third attempt; throws the long ball to Trey Sermon for an 88 yard touchdown play. Nice.
He's looking pretty darn good for a rooky. His first series was against the KC's first team defense. He took sack, which is better than making a stupid mistake. I don't think it's going to take long before he replaces Garoppolo. Maybe the steep price they paid to get the third over all pick is justified after all. I know it's only pre-season, and I am trying to contain my optimism, lol.

Garapallo is done stick a fork in him.
LOL just when I was typing this Lance almost got picked then threw one to no-where.
and sacked as I hit send Doh!

Fields def had a sloppy first half and his numbers don't tell a true picture. Not to mention he played better vs lesser players who play 2nd half..I missed the game but I assume that's how it went as it normally does.
