I'll go for the Broncos this week.

timshorts · Post by **timshorts** » Wed Nov 27, 2024 10:23 pm

I'd better have the lions as it looks like the easiest game that they have left.

I'll go chiefs please!

Brave. But I suppose one of them has got to win.

Terrible news in from the States. Far too young for this man to die doing something he loved. Just goes to show how dangerous the game is.
RIP Medrick and condolences to family and friends.

Awful news TT. Easy to forget when watching on TV just how dangerous the game can be

Condolences to his friends and family.

Bills looking really impressive. Worth watching Josh Allen's first TD last night on the highlights, superb improvised one-two pass with the receiver.

MNF good fun, no spoilers.

That game was wacko! Great fun though, as long as you were a neutral.

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Tue Dec 03, 2024 10:20 am

Wow. I got up to watch the overnight game not expecting much from Broncos and Browns but what an outstanding match. Two incredible individual performances and yet another that went down to the last minute.

GW 13 results

Good morning all, and the comments above are accurate about the Broncos game! Plenty of action on the highlights and seeing the best and worst of Jamies Winston for the Browns (as he was a former Buc, I know these highs and lows only too well!). Entertaining week all round, the Bucs needing some crazy plays in overtime to beat the Panthers (definitely check out the overtime highlights for that game if not done already), Pats missing a last second FG to beat the Colts and the Chiefs running it close against a poor Raiders team.

I am starting to get really excited for the play offs now, Bills and the Chiefs the only teams to have clinched their spot so far - but still early doors.

Congratulations to the leader of our pack as well, TimShorts who is the first to hit double figures for points this season. We are running out of top teams to pick, so will be interesting to see who we are all left to pick from in these last few weeks.

Table stands as follows:

Points - Player
10 - TimShorts
9 - Cowick clarets
9 - Dvalley69
9 - WillsClarets
9 - Belial
8 - MrTopTier
8 - claretonthecoast1882
7 - Foshiznik
7 - Poulton-le-claret
7 - Tricky Trevor
5 - Meath_Claret
4 - Offaly_Clarets IRE

If I have made any errors above, please just tag me in. Next GW info to follow soon. All the best, PLC.

Hoping you are wrong with the Bucs being my team

we have been wildly inconsistent this season, but injuries have been a big factor. Still the only team to beat the Lions and ran the Chiefs close into overtime, but then needed overtime to beat the Panthers a week ago!

I do except a Chargers win this week though, unfortunately for me

Ravens. I hadn't realised that I'd not used them and what better opponent could they have than the giants, who are gunning for the first pick in the draft.

I did exactly the same, I initially didn't even consider that fixture assuming I had picked them!

Steelers v eagles might go the same way. Both appear to match up well defensively against the others best offensive tendencies.

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Fri Dec 13, 2024 7:46 pm

I try and watch every match. Overnight games I fast forward through all the kicks and adverts.
There were so many punts in this game I got through it in 1hr 30mins, a new PB. It was dire. The weather severely affected the first half but no excuse for the second.

Some dedication to watch every match! You might have to take over running this competition next season TT!
