    Just need a low-scoring defensive grind out today to see @Oh_Yoni_Boy secure a win against @Laddick01 and I'll be sitting with the only 100% record after four games - assuming, of course, Philip Lindsay doesn't have a career-defining game tonight.

    Was confident I was going 4-0 before the Steelers game. Ben let me down big time.

    Still possible I could be sitting 4-0 with you but I need something big from Kansas
    If players get projected scores you will go 4-0

    I'm just hoping mahomes doesn't get 50 points. Way he is playing though it wouldn't surprise me!

    Hope he does.

    Just hope our defence can live up to their end of the bargain for a change
    4-0 incoming

    That would’ve been the best touchdown of all time if the Broncos had pulled it off and won the game.

    Mahomes though... what a star he is.

    Hunt went absolutely huge for me that game, but no way I’d be 4-0 now if it wasn’t for Mahomes making ridiculous play after ridiculous play to keep the game alive, he’s special

    Meh. Throws like a girl.
  • That play when Mahomes switched to his left hand with Von Miller breathing down his neck was sensational! He is a real talent!

    Defense is still a real worry though! Can only assume they have been told not to tackle?

    Dammit, 2nd week I've lost by not spotting an injury in my team, too many formats to manage! I've got an NFL.com, Yahoo and Fleaflicker all doing terribly. :smiley:

    Tell you what, the amount of times Royce Freeman found a hole in that line for first downs is (initially) making it look as if the Jags' ground-and-pound might have a bit of joy on Sunday. Obviously this sort of depends on paper hamstrings Fournette being fit, but Yeldon and Grant are both capable backups.

    Our defence is smashing it, too, despite only the one interception - we're allowing the least passing yards per game and our run D is ranking 11th (markedly up from last year). Ramsey and Bouye will be a big test for Mahomes - though I suspect play action and shallow crosses will bring him plenty of joy.

    This is gonna be such an exciting game on Sunday.

    Cheifs v Jags will be interesting. I can see Jags slowing Mahomes and Co. down but can't see Bortles keeping up with Mahomes. Chiefs v Rams on 20th November might just be a Superbowl preview.

    That's true, it'll be the Ravens representing the AFC.

    Let's ignore his career best last week then!

    Not ignoring it - but also not ignoring Mahomes either. It's not just Bortles I don't see outscoring Mahomes and Andy Reid, it's most teams, especially in the AFC.

    Jags often look a better team when they're forced out of using Fournette.

    @MrOneLung I will make a £10 donation to the charity of your choice if for the love of God you bench Blake this week so the Jags can hopefully ball out and secure a real-life win

    Just watched the Chiefs game. First of all, nothing better than taking a game away from the Broncos in the 4th quarter. With gunslinger Mahomes we always have a chance to come back. Also we got our run game going and that will benefit us going forward. The downside and the reason we will flame out if we get to the post season, we can't defend. In previous weeks teams have gone after our suspect secondary and we've given up big plays. Same again here. Even though we've been poor the run defence has held up better but this week the Broncos battered us. Overall we have a top 2/3 attack but the worst defence in the league. We need our first choice safeties back on the field but honestly I think it's beyond salvageable this season.

    @Bigbadbozman how comes you never have a kicker in the fantasy league?

    Just getting warmed up ;-)

    Seriously though, Bengals and Ravens could both make the playoffs at this rate. I watched your game at the Falcons and was very impressed. Tyler Boyd looks great.

    Also, just caught up on the Browns game. Up by 8 in the 4th quarter with 40 seconds left. And they lose.

    You make it sound like you’re surprised. It is the Browns.

    Boyd has surprised me to be honest, looking forward to having a D (Burfict) against the Fins on Sunday can't believe we have gone 3-1 without him, despite all his intangibles😊 he utterly galvanises the team he is so influential to us. He's one of those players that would be a hall of fame if he wasn't so 'Controversial' however he wouldn't be the player he is without the 'Controversy'. Utterly brilliant but utterly flawed and yes I would marry him!
