NFL 2017-18 season

[TightEnd]

i know its a surprise but

a) its his contract year and he wants a von miller type contract. so if you aren't going to pay it (see the chandler jones trade) then effectively you get your 3rd round compensatory pick a year early

b) he's not playing as well as hightower and they really like his back up, roberts i think his name in

i think i read that belichek has now done 24 trades intra season in the last three years. i think the hit rate on players he trades away (not then being that good for the new club) is quite high too

poor Jamie now steps onto a rebuilding project somewhere near the bottom, and misses out on a possible superbowl ring (in a year when there aren't very many good teams and the pats look the best of the lot)


alternatively, ignore all that and bill just thinks brady is finding it too easy and wants to make it more of a challenge for him

Could Matt Cassel look any more out of place on that list if he tried?

Few for the weekend 

Main one is Latavius Murray at 5/1 anytime on the Green Irish guys. They've mispriced that badly. He's around 6/4 everywhere else. Not an easy match up. But they concede more on the ground than the air. Would of had that to tikay but obviously he can't use them.

I think Moncrief is overpriced at 7/4 anytime and 12/1 2 or more on Skybet too. So on that.

Can't see why the Saints are only 3.5pts favourites vs the Niners either tbh so all over that, along with Lions +6 and Panthers -3.

Nope. Makes our draw last week even more painful now. Could of been above the Steelers. They've got 3 of 4 away from home and they're awful there. Also we've got to host them later in the year. It's anyone's division

[Stopsleyhatter]

No excuses for us now with the whole roster basically fit for selection.My man in the know reckons Jackson is almost good to go.Would recommend us at 3/1 for the division on tft but my record there is awful.

My blog hit about 40 pts profit on the night (before Booker and Crabtree have settled) thanks to Murray at 5/1. The handicap treble getting 2 and a void. Hightower. Beckham. Etc. www.Touchdowntips.com puts me at 70+ pts up on the year. Not a bad night at all

Thanks for Murray!

Kicker thinks he's Cristiano Ronaldo, then shows that he isn't.

Think Hernadez is the real eye opener on that list. Hard to claim cutting him after he murdered someone deserves to be a success on a a notable players released or traded list.

I laughed out loud when he did this, especially as they had mounted a good comeback to be in with a chance. Its about that time in the season that coaches tend to get more 'genius' with each passing week.

You can imagine the convo 'what kick will they be expecting us to do?

'OK, then what can you do that they won't ever expect us to do'

'Well I could trot up to it and instead of kicking it normally I could try a crazy back heal style thing that the do in the soccer'

'Will we look clever doing that? ok, give that one a go'


I'm a bit surprised that more teams don't just kick the ball str8 at the defender that stands in front of the kicker to stop him squibbing it down the middle. If you kick it str8 at him very hard two things happen. It either hits him and it's then a free for all to get the ball but has an element of surprise. Or you miss him and it goes down the middle of the pitch where there are very few players and it then becomes a bobbling ball and a race.

Indy did that kind of kick against Tampa many years ago in an incredible 21 point comeback tho I can't seem to find a video clip of it.

with respect to the minnesota-detroit game

Teams that were down exactly 3 points w/ 30 seconds or less in the 4th with the ball inside their own 30 were 0-98 since 2001.
