NFL Oireland Thread

Frisbee

All conversation relating to NFL Oireland will be held in here.

Frisbee

Currently ranked #1. Playing #2 this week, both with 5-1 records.

I'm up 57.32 to 39.24 at the moment with Scobee left to play and he's finished.

Frisbee

This week is gonna be a write off. Plenty of players on byes.

Playing the worst team in the league, 0-7, inactive and still has Peyton as his starter. Makes it even more annoying that I'm going to lose!

D3PO

room for a little one next season to fill in for the inactive then Frisbee ?

cough cough

Peyton Manning

Need 16 points from Ray Rice and David Akers to get the chance to defend my title in the final - come on chaps!

Peyton Manning

Come on Akers, just 2 field goals, or a FG and 2 XP. Thats all I ask!

That will be irrelevant anyway.. I'll be destroying whoever gets to the final :cool:

Fairly epic final with Drew Brees, Marques Colston, Julio Jones and John Kasay seeing me over the line on MNF.

This league has been re-activated folks. Would be great if last year's participants could re-register. Let me know if there's any difficulties.

There's 2 open spaces for anyone who is not currently involved. It's just a friendly league that I had going outside of Boards that I opened up to a few Boardsies when mates pulled out of it. Nothing too serious, give us a shout if interested.

JaMarcus Hustle

Sorry to ask for another bunch of confirms, but if you're already in this league and fancy another year can hounding a quick post with your team name? A mate of mine has pulled out so will have to do a bit of re-shuffling. Thanks.

Sure why not I will give it a go.

If you need a body I'd be up for it

Frisbee

Yup I'm back in

Mr. Guappa

Oh Look An Eagle back to defend their title.

UnitedIrishman

Frisbee - The Wildcats
JaMarcus Hustle - Dunluce Demons
Eagle Eye - Eagle Eye Patriots
CoachTO - Slinger Owls
Mr Guappa - Oh Look An Eagle
JohnnyRyan99 - Poontown Pussycats
UnitedIrishman - The U (or have I gotten your team wrong?)
Matt - Riverview Raiders
Darklighter - TBD (will PM you code to join)

Above have confirmed. If any of the old participants want to give it another go, just let me know.

UnitedIrishman

Yeah, The U is my team.

With regards drafting across all leagues, what kind of time span will we be talking? As in, when were last years held and will it be around the same this year again?

Reducing this to 10 teams this year guys, as not all invites have been acknowledged. I figure most of us are in enough 14/16 team leagues so a nice little 10 team league will be a change. Thanks for taking part, should be good fun

JaMarcus Hustle

I'd also like to throw an idea out there, see what you guys think.

How about drafting in the coming week? I just figure (almost) every other league we're in is a lot of teams drafting in the week before the regular season opener. I think it would be a welcome change for this league to be something a bit different - fewer teams drafting before preseason games start.

Just a suggestion, let me know if it sits well.

I'm up for that. Might see more trades/FA pickups and battles before the season starts than during the season!

CoachTO

I like 10 people

Mr. Guappa

I like the idea of a 10-team league.. have teams in plenty 12 and 16-teamers as you say. Also up for an early draft.

JaMarcus Hustle

Please vote for the draft date & time. It will be some time between now and Friday week, whatever gets most votes. Cheers.

I'll see if I can recruit another person so that I can make it 12 teams but definitely don't want to go above that. I'll PM you an invite now, you can join straight away - good to have you back!

Or possibly 10? Working until half 9. If any objections then fair enough, totally understandable given the length of these things sometimes.

10 works for me.

JaMarcus Hustle

Guys I can't pick Thursday, it's greyed out on NFL.com and I have no idea why.

It's looking like Wednesday @ 8pm now.

I'll see if one of the guys can push back to 10 but don't hold me to that.

I was before the date was set then after the date had been set I made plans not too worry I will roll out a draft order and hope autopick does me proud.

JaMarcus Hustle

Guys, draft for this is in 1 hour 15 mins.

A friend of a friend has asked to join, and since I can only add in increments of two, there is one space available if anybody wants to take it. Please let me know asap. If it's not taken by 7:20, I'll be adding a CPU controlled team to make sure the draft goes ahead.

Cheers.

Edit: Sober Paddy has taken the spot. Good stuff, good luck everyone. I'll have a unimpressive trophy for the winner. Unimpressive, but a trophy nonetheless

A_Sober_Paddy

looking for someone, I'm interested

CoachTO

Going to try draft on my iphone

JaMarcus Hustle

Good stuff

By the way, as we're 2 teams down this year, I've added an extra bench spot for each team, so it's now 6 subs.

JaMarcus Hustle

Bump - draft in 10 minutes.

No thanks

JaMarcus Hustle

Happy enough with mine. Not overly thrilled with my RBs, only really 1 verified starter but at least Smith will start the first couple of weeks. Hoping himself, Blount or Tate will establish themselves as starter for one reason or another during the year. Picking 13th out of 14.

QB Eli Manning (6)
QB Ryan Tannehill (14)

RB Matt Forte (2)
RB Ben Tate (7)
RB Kevin Smith (8)
RB LeGarrette Blount (9)

WR Jordy Nelson (3)
WR Marques Colston (4)
WR Torrey Smith (5)
WR Nate Washington (10)
WR Vincent Brown (11)

TE Rob Gronkowski (1)
TE Jared Cook (12)

K Matt Prater (13)

DEF Minnesota Vikings (15)

Spongey1975

Was picking 12th, a few times during that draft a player was nabbed just before me but such is FF life

QBs - Cam Newton (1st), Josh Freeman (9th)
RBs - Darren McFadden (2nd), Ahmad Bradshaw (4th), Jonathan Stewart (7th), Ryan Williams (11th)
WRs - Victor Cruz (3rd), Steve Johnson (5th), Lance Moore (8th), Titus Young (10th), Davone Bess (12th), Kevin Walter (15th)
TEs - Antonio Gates (6th)
PK - Mason Crosby (14th)
DEF - Bills (13th)

RBs are injury prone so hopefully nothing will happen them but overall im happy with what i got

UnitedIrishman

Happy enough with the depth of my team given I kept changing my mind every time I was picking. A lot of gambles made on guys staying fit/teams performing. Biggest mistake was drafting 6 guys in a row who are all on bye weeks on week 7. Picked at 11th.

QB - P. Manning (3); Luck (8).

RB - Charles (2), Bush (4), Vereen (11).

WR - Julio Jones (1), Decker (5), M. Floyd (7), Amendola (9), Collie (10), Cobb (12).

TE - Witten (6), Olsen (13).

K - Succop (14).

Def - Washington Redskins (15).
