Just finished watching the Jags Falcons game at Wembley Stadium in London. A few observations:

- The entire crowd (pretty much) stood up for the national anthem; that was nice. They did sing along with their own anthem, which immediately followed.

- The fans will wear jerseys from all teams to the game... There were more Jags and Falcons jerseys than others of course, but I noticed even last year in these international games you'll see a whole mix of different jerseys: Patriots, Cowboys, Packers, Dolphins, you name it. They probably just wear the jersey they own to the team because its an American Footie game so its appropriate.

- The crowd likes to sing random songs during the game... I couldn't make out what they were singing but the announcers knew. Maybe they do it when they start to get bored or something.

I can't help but think these games increase the number of international fans -- they're a great introduction to the sport, which is way better than soccer or cricket.


Also my pick for this week is Chiefs -8. Sounds high (moved up from the opening of -7.5), but I think they can do it.

Yahoo is killing me, everyone knows Ekeler will not play today at least since Friday, but yahoo still had him listed as doubtful even 15 minutes before the matched started, so I could not place Ekeler on IR and had to drop Jaylen Warren which was supposed to be my insurance in the case Najee Harris got injured or the Steelers decided to give Warren the starting job over Harris, so I had no option to go through it anyway as I was not playing TE Schultz with the abysmal performance he gave last week.

In other words, to look for Jaylen Warren on the waiver this week.    Tough luck that you had to drop a guy you didn't want to, but it's not Yahoo's fault, the Chargers had to officially rule him out first. Speaking of the Chargers, i honestly believe Brandon Staley is a bad coach who should be fired as soon as possible. Going on 4th and 1 in their own half with 3 minutes to go vs. first-ever-start rookie QB....i understand there are analytics and whatnot, but this was an awful decision that could have cost them the game.

All matchups in our league look decided, maybe the battle of the 0-3 teams may come close if Waller has a solid game, but can you really trust Danny Dimes in prime time?

I'm 3-1 in all leagues, no new injuries, and the teams look great going forward. I wish every week was like that. #thisistheyear Lol

Looking at 0-4 staring right at me, my ff season might be over before Halloween!  Wierd how some leagues ypu lead and others ypu can't squeeze out a single win lol.  Big night for the giants they can't fall to 1-3 to start the year if they want a shot at the end.  Gonna be a close game buy giants missing Andrew Thomas still which hurts since their line is probably the worst in the league.

Yeah injuries are brutal, especially when they are your top picks.  I was targeting Wilson as well, was thinking he was going to get devote adams type targets every week.  When Rodgers likes a wide out he sticks em.  I have no excuse my team just sucks 😅

I am 1-3 but I have the same attitude as yours hehehe. Cooper Kupp might help my team's record, however, it appears that 5 weeks with out him is too much. Much time has passed already unless some of the leaders of the league also have their own losing streaks.

When your first round pick does not work out then you are in trouble, especially if the number of teams on the league is on the high side since you will be hard-pressed to find any decent replacement on the waiver wire or in free agency, in my case Ekeler’s injury threw a wrench in my plans since he is probably going to return until week 6, meaning he has been out for 4 weeks, and while a good player he is clearly not worth the first round pick I used to pick him.

Maybe one of these years NY teams will smarten up and build a line.

Thats so sad, I always though Nate was the absolute worst!

I could never understand how he got paid so much when he was always getting burned.

I was so glad to see him go.

My 1st round pick was Tony Pollard, 2nd round pick was Derrick Henry, 3rd round was James Cook and 4th round was where it was a risk and I picked Cooper Kupp. I reckon the team is okay considering that I was the 12th picker. I reckon if Kupp returns and creates the projected given points, I might have some wins that might put me on top 6.

Also, you got Cole Kmet from the waiver wire after I dropped him. I regret this heheheh. The replacement is Kyle Pitts. The Hawks have a very bad quarterback who will not pass the ball to him.
