Thread for all NFL and American football related discussion for upcoming season.
First things first - it would be a pity if the foot.ie fantasy NFL was let slide so I have PM'ed WexCar to see if he can run that league - if he doesn't get back to me by the middle of next week I will set up a new league. Hoping to run a draft w/commencing the 27th of August so reply if interested with preferred evening to hold same. If the interest is light I won't bother.
Anyone going to Notre Dame v Navy ?
i might be interested but am in 2 very competitive leagues already with good banter and analysis and the foot.ie one just isnt the same. Theres no interest in much conversation on here about it either.
In other news, the Bohs NFL Fantasy League expanded this year such that we have two leagues this year. We had our drafts on Monday for the new league and Tuesday for the elite. 2 leagues of 12 with promotion and relegation (2 up, 2 down).... we're footballizing an american sport! :D
As requested by RaM the league is activated. I have e-mailed those involved last year as they will be automatically entered. Anyone new to the league follow the below link & enter ID/password.

League ID: 35253

If not too late myself and my brother will come onboard if still places available?

Might have to miss that. have 2 already that evening.
anyone know if you can run 2 draft windows at the same time ?
I'm gonna try one on the pc and another on the lap top. Hope it works.
I can bring it back or forward an hour, if that makes it easier for everyone
That would be ideal for me anyway - either or suits fine.Quote:

That was a serious result we had last night. Cripes. What an opening weekend.
The Redskins always start well (win first game) - its usually downhill after that .......
30 clear in week one with Rice to come later. Might get off to a flyer myself. Great night last night, San Fran and Seattle games were superb. Love watching the red zone thing on sky. Great coverage.
Bengals v Ravens live on BBC.co.uk it seems. WHOOP!!!
Defeat in week one for "Corn on the Schuab" but a whopping 170 pts has got me up and running in week 2.
On the field - I watched the Patriots on gamepass yesterday evening. Can't remember them playing so poorly in a long while. Hope its just a blip, as run defence and the run looked so much improved in week 1, albeit against the Titans.
Then watched Redskins v Rams - didn't think that would be the one to stick to given the quality of the other games but it was a highly entertaining game.
NFC West doesn't look like such a dud division anymore. All 4 teams won last night.
That wide receiver who threw the ball at his marker at the end of the game (who cost the game for redskins) should never play for them again! pure stupid......
Damn Falcons.
Spanked by Corn on the Schaub, bummer. Some weird games at the weekend.
Watched the game last night, well as much of it as I could given the replacement refs slowing things up dramatically. What is going on there, these sub umps are brutal altogether. 1st quarter took an hour last night. I'm sure I'd have done better myself.
I was listening to Jets-Steelers on 5live on Sunday and the commentators were losing their minds with some of the decisions that were being made.
There's a pay issue with the NFL and the refs.

Could becoming to an end soon.
Jaysus they need to sort the ref thing out Bonnie sooner rather than later. Another terrible weekend for them.
A win for me vs Bohs Roughriders. Got haunted as I left 105 points on the bench. Phew.
NFL
National Fumble League
Vick making a habit of it for sure. Everyone happy with their squads? Willing to swap Cook or Witten for another tight end if anyone's interested.
My slightly impulsive decision to put the Pats D/ST in my fantasy line-up is reaping all kinds of ridiculous dividends tonight!
Jets are bringing stink to a new level.
2 great games before that.
That Sanchez play headbutting yer mans arse gave me the biggest laugh in years to be fair, good call Real ale on the Pats. I'd used em a few weeks back on a one off and they were ok as well.
My season of strife carried on last night. 38 ahead with only one player to come against me. Step forward Cam the *******!! 45 feckin points, your joking me.
Ah wel, was long gone from playoffs anyhow. Will fight til the end though, but that was a killer.
Hard luck Clifford, I must say I had given up the ghost on the win completely - Newton has been a major underachiever and did not expect anything save maybe 20 odd points. Couldn't believe what I saw this morning.Quote:

Im debating betting on the Giants today. But will Brees pick them apart again?
Fair play to Leesports colts for winning the fantasy football 2012. Des Bryant could have had a blinding night to win it for Corn on the Schaub, not to be (Romo's an ass!)
I'm delighted to win my last game and finish 11th not 12th. :-(
Fair play to all who played. I enjoy it anyway.
Well said Clifford, and well done Leesports colts. The game was well up before Romo did his thing.
I was punching the air when Luck connected with Hilton for that 70yd TD pass in the 3rd quarter as I had a few euros on the Colts - but in hindsight it was that play that probably decided the fantasy game. Well done to all who played - enjoyable as always.
