The leauge has moved the Bucs/Miami game to week 11.. Huge blow for both sides, following week 11 the Bucs now have 2 road games @ Atlanta and @ Green Bay... While Miami now come off MNF to Tampa, throw their London game in and their schedule got all that harder. Will definitely make making playoffs tougher

Righto Macca, we'll see how long I last before I forget to put my tips in

Let's start with

Falcons

Steelers

(shudder) Eagles

I have  the same issue GTB so I generally put the tips in early.

I post up the lines (see below) as a reminder to myself!

Here they are again seeing we're on a new page ...

Wow. Eagles?

I'm a fan, but jeez. I can't see us getting anywhere near Giants or Cowboys... and probably struggling against Skins TBH.

Cowboys most likely lose Elliott for 6 weeks which sends their offense back to earth and their defense is ordinary. They aren't better than a 10 win team. Giants defense is legit but their offense can't run the ball or protect Eli, again, they shouldn't win more than 10 games. Eagles have a chance to be very good on both sides of the ball if the additions at corner and WR work out.

Do give my Jags a chance this week as long as Bortles isn't actually killed by Watt or Clowney. Interested to see how Fournette goes in his first game.

[Gorgoroth 13,136]

Every morning I get up and look to see if Donald is back, every day I cry. 

I truly have no freaking idea where the Rams will end up. 

[Macca 17,081]

Anyone give KC a chance tomorrow?

I'd like nothing better than to see the Pats get beaten but I can't see it.  Hope it's close at least.

TBH Macca I do. First games throw up strange matches and I think KC have some decent weapons, no Edelson for Pats is huge.

All I can think about is Belichick and what new game-winning idea he comes through with.  Andy Reid's teams are nearly always in the contest though so it could be a close one.

A big night of sport tomorrow night ... Footy,  NRL & NFL.

I'm home to watch it live too, can't wait. 

Brady has to show some signs of being 84 years old soon...

[Gorgoroth 13,136]

KC defence looked like they had 2 players less than the Pats. Brady found wide open players without even trying.

[Gorgoroth 13,136]

856 carries with one fumble he recovered in college, first carry and fumble... oh the irony!

Nothing I've seen in the first half has convinced me that the pats won't be a force, even without Edelmen.

Chiefs are doing well but pats seem to be in 3rd gear. 

[Gorgoroth 13,136]

10-2 penalties against KC.

They are killing themselves.

 

make that 11-2

[Gorgoroth 13,136]

KC have dialled it up to 11! Hunt has been huge. Pats need to do well a... pats to get them outta this.

[Gorgoroth 13,136]

I gave them (KC) a chance today... but wow, just wow.

I listened to the game (on & off) but that is an impressive win.  They were saying that the Pats have only lost 6 home games in 10 years and only 1 of those 6 was an AFC team.

Was a good game to watch, Pats started on fire, but KC jus hung in their, the. They blew them away second half. Few injuries to both teams by the end.

Ended up watching extended highlights and the Chiefs were great.  Alex Smith's best game?  Kareem Hunt had some sort of game too.

Smith looked great. I think he is a solid QB. Hunt was Immense, especially after fumbling his first ever carry, he didn't drop his bundle but bucked up and got going.

All sensible (except for the 6 games part. Seems he's playing the year now).

I reckon though it's a more-or-less league-wide opinion that while Zeke is good, it's the OL that makes this team. They made two rookies of the year in Dak and Zeke. If they're all there, fit and playing... then I don't think it matters who they give it to. personally I have Boys at 12-4... possibly 14-2... at WORST 10-6 as you say, on the strength of that OL and Dak. Also I think their D will improve a lot. They've put a lot of work into it. Lee is still there, Lawrence, Taco. They've snuck up on us.

[Gorgoroth 13,136]

Aaron Donald has returned to the Rams! Won't play week one but will week 2.

Yay!
