Week 15 Memery

by

Week 15 of the NFL came in like a crazy virus, spinning the league right round, turning everyone on their head, and making us all dizzy.

Do they not realise that many of us are on the road to the playoffs and/or preparing our NFL fantasy teams for the onslaught of the post season Covidity?

Thankfully, the pictures and words word perfect for week 15, as we offer up some of the Week 15 Memery that has captivated us all.

What were some of the big meme themes to hit this week?

Tom Brady getting shut out for the first time in his career was CLASSIC! If you have ever wanted to trash a Microsoft touch tablet, Tommy will show you how to do it.

Detroit Lions claim their first win of the season! That means once again the Jacksonville Jaguars are going to take top seed in the draft next year.
Like a leaky boat, the Jags keep flushing down picks and coaches.

Here are some of the big memes! Enjoy and see you Sunday!

Panto Week

by

What a week of performances that was in the NFL, as some of the top teams soared, and the crap teams continued to get stuck in the quagmire of mediocrity.
End of the season ‘am I right’?

To recap the silly week that was 14 in the NFL, Wade & Ryan break down all of the past slew of games, plus NFL news in our Panto Week Podcast.

Among some of the other things that the guys discuss in the episode.

COVIDITY

Hey remember COVID? Well, it’s back and better with a whole new upgrade.

The Omicron is here, and it has the unique the ability to distinguish between ‘immunised’ and ‘vaccinated’. And it’s good at it too.

OBJ and the Rams took a slap on the face from the virus this week, as many teams might have their playoff run curtailed by the nasty.

Let’s add even more drama to the NFL playoffs!

Bengals Lancers

What’s up with Joe Burrow and the Bengals?
After a finger issue led to his weekly slide, it looks like Cincy might indeed be in trouble to actually make it to the big show.

Joe Mixon can only carry the team so far, before the D and the rest of the team needs to step up.

The AFC North is in freefall, and the Bengals had it all within their grasp.

Bills Bills

Remember when the Buffalo Bills were the number lock in the AFC?
Now they are ‘in the hunt’ as their playoff chances are about as likely as a balmy Christmas day in Western New York.

Perhaps having a running game is essential to an NFL team?

Ryan Cull is in nail biting mode, as the Bills are in danger of getting stuck against some tough teams moving into the post season.

Get Up Lamar

What are the Ravens without Lamar Jackson?
No, really…what are they?
Because they seem like they are screwed without him.

Injuries Galore sounds like a great band name, as well as the diagnosis for the woes of Baltimore.

A shot at the playoffs is a getting harder and harder every week, especially when they lose to divisional rivals.

Gold Strike

The 49ers are playing some exceptional football thanks to Deebo Samuel and a slew of San Fran running backs.

Now boasting a 7-6 record, the 49ers now face a gauntlet of tough divisional games to round out 2021.

Let’s face it, no one really wants to face San Fran right now…as they are able to throw an ‘L’ into anyone’s season hopes.

Refs

What the hell is with the refs this season? Are they trying to suck? Trying to ruin the game? Or are they just idiots?

There have been some truly shameful calls by refs this year, which seems odd given how technology has gifted us with replays, close ups etc in recent decades.

Maybe the refs know that they are in danger of being replaced by robots, and that they want one last chance to screw it up before they hand it over to their digital overlords?

Either way, they suck…and we’re watching you.

NFL Weekend

It’s a great weekend of NFL ahead, as we welcome games on Saturday night to add a little flava to mid December.

Make sure you join us every weekend at the Sports Bar & Grill, where we will be cooking up all the games you need this weekend.

TNF is the high flying Kansas City Chiefs vs the struggling LA Chargers at home. Another easy win for Mahomes?

Saturday night brings us the Las Vegas Raiders visiting the Cleveland Browns at 9:30pm GMT. A perfect way to avoid the crowds and cuddle up on the couch with someone you loathe.

The late Saturday (early Sunday) contest is a real cracker, as the Colts dome it up to protect themselves against the dangerous Patriots. This game doesn’t kick off until 1:20am, so hit the Sports Bar for a boozy breakfast and watch it then.

See you Sunday at either Clapham or Old Street. Book a table so that you can watch the games on your own TV.

13 and a Half Memes

by

Does it feel like this NFL season is going along faster than normal, or is it a miserable season of NFL fantasy that puts the drags on?

Up is down, down is up, and the Patriots are suddenly back in contention after losing the best quarterback in the league.
This is a wild and wacky season.

To commemorate the odd week that was, we have added 13 and a Half Memes, a collection of hilarity to break up the NFL between week’s 13 and 14.

And what’s not to laugh about?

The Lions got their first win! The Bears took in on the mouth against the Cardinals. Aaron won’t stop talking about his toe! Mac Jones was able to win a game by throwing for only 19 yards.

As we limp towards the playoffs…there isn’t one team that is dominating it all…yet.

But what is winning?
Memes.
They always close!

Enjoy, and see you Sunday!

Week 12 Reflections

by

With only 6 more weeks left in the NFL regular season (and 3 in your fantasy), it’s starting to look like some teams might emerge from this seasonal sludge to move on to a successful post season.

It also looks like that there are a few teams that have the potential to ruin another teams run just by their very nature of play.
Looking at you Colts and Eagles.

So join us, as we take a look at some Week 12 Reflections.

Steel Curtained

It certainly looks like the season might be over for the Steelers, after taking a heavy beating from the division rivals Bengals on Sunday.

Puffy Big Ben struggled to get it down the field, and the much vaunted defence may have lost TJ Watt for a few more games.

Pittsburgh has struggled to play with any vigor as of late, dropping its second in the series to Cincy, and it looks like they are ready to limp off to the offseason.

Brown Town

Baker Mayfield has been playing like an anus of late, most likely due to injuries that have plagued the QB for weeks.
There’s nothing to be gained from Baker ‘toughening’ it out, as he’s not tough, and not a hockey player.

The more that Cleveland allows Baker to suit up despite his myriad of injuries, the more likely that their experiment with Mayfield looks in doubt.

Let’s see if a Bye week fixes this situation, or if the Browns will continue to slide.

Russ is Cooked

Have you ever microwaved your food to much and seen the result?
This is what this season is feeling like in Seattle.

Russell Wilson looks tired, the O Line seems to have checked out, and Pete Carroll might be just calling it in, as the Seahawks took another lump, this time at the hands of the Washington Football Team.

Either Russ or Pete needs to go in Seattle, but maybe, it could be both of them.

Ramming Speed

The Rams continue to slide, after getting bitch smacked by the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night.

Something is wrong with Matt Stafford, as he seems to have lost some of that zip on the ball, even with the addition of OBJ.

The Packers were totally in control in this game, despite lacking some key O line personnel.
If LA can’t beat Green Bay when they’re down a few men, how would they be able to face them in the post season with a fully functional squad?

Sean McVay had some truly horrific play calling on Sunday, if you want to know where to start posting the blame.

Cam Damn

Superman is back! Superman got benched!

The Carolina Panthers were playing ok before they brought in Cam Newton a few weeks ago, now it looks to be going all downhill again.

Cam was horrible on Sunday, throwing awful passes downfield that were rightfully picked off as garbage.

Add to that was that the often injured Christian McCaffery was injured again.

And with that, the only thing that the Panthers have left to play for is that D…which will now probably also fall apart.

Vikes?

Who are the Minnesota Vikings this year?

A team that can beat the Packers one week, and then get stuffed by the 49ers the next.

Whoever the Vikes are this season.  the one thing that they are not are playoff contenders.

Dalvin Cook is now out for the season, leaving the Vikings to try to cobble together some wins with a skeleton crew of Mattison etc.

Minnesota still has the ability to upset a lot of the main contenders heading into the post season, which sometimes, can be just as exciting.

Sunday Funday

Join us every Sunday at the Sports Bar & Grill Clapham and Old Street, as we rock out to NFL all night long.

Sundays will get busier in December, so make sure that you book a table to ensure that you can watch all the games on the comfort of your own TV.

Week 12 Tips

by

The wintry winds of December are starting to roll in, as the NFL begins the final push towards the end of the regular season.

The 2021 NFL season has been anything BUT predictable, as some of the top teams continue to falter, while the middle teams still try to find their footing in the season.

Wade and Ryan are back this week, as they offer up their Week 12 tips.

Wade was able to secure a 10-5 record during week 11, while Ryan pulled down a 8-7 record of picks against the spread.

How will the guys do this week?

Ryans Picks

One of the most anticipated games on Sunday will be the heavy hitting Colts (+3) facing the Tampa Bay Bucs.
Jonathan Taylor and company rolled over the Bills last week, and Ryan thinks that TB12 and the guys will be in for a rough day.
Ryan likes the Colts to beat the Bucs by 3.

It was a Giant (+3.5) week in New York, as the g-men got rid of coach Jason Garrett.
Ryan thinks that this will inspire the locker room to play their butts off to cover the 3 point favoured spread of Philly.

It’s an Urban legend that Ryan is a Jags (+2) fan, but this week he likes them to do a number on his former fix the Atlanta Falcons.
He likes the hometown Jacksonville team to keep it tight in a choke out victory for the Jags.

Lastly Ryan is tapping into Big Ben & the Steelers (+4) to find a way to put up some points against a struggling Bengals team.
He likes Pittsburgh to take the W from Cincy in this one, providing a valuable victory to move the Steelers ahead in this division.

If you take Ryan’s picks of the Colts, Giants, Jaguars, and Steelers on a parlay for £10, you could walk away with £154.70.

Wade’s Picks

On a short sunday of games, Wade tries to find some value picks to balance with some straight up easy victories.

Tennessee Titans (+7) took it on the chin, nose and knob last week in a horrible beat down by the Houston Texans.
The Titans face a fierce Patriots squad who rarely make mistakes, and have yet to be really challenged in their latest push.
Wade likes the Titans to cover in a close loss.

The Denver Broncos (+2.5) might not have a lot, but they often seem to win with nothing.
This should be the case on Sunday, as Wade likes them to play tough at home in a game against division rivals the LA Chargers.

Minnesota (+3) might be a rival of the Bears, but that doesn’t mean Wade doesn’t fancy them to do some damage to the 49ers.
The Vikings are a wrecking crew in the league at this point. Unlikely to make the playoffs, but very likely to cause damage to contenders in their push to the playoffs.

The LA Rams (-1) have been assembling all the tools in their shed to build a winning formula for this season, sadly it hasn’t really worked out that way yet.
The Rams will have a chance to take advantage of an injured Aaron Rodgers, and weakened Packers team.
LA has a chance to start out strong, then put their foot down in this one.

Taking Wade’s picks of the Titans, Broncos, Vikings and Rams on a £10 bet will also win you a whopping £154.70.
