    Another DNF for Perez. Perhaps not his fault but still, I cannot see how he keeps that seat.

    Great start from Russell but unfortunately the strategy was a failure. The soft tyre is already dead.

    Verstappen will be confirmed as champion tonight. Hats off to him but I hope he has some competition next season!

    At American Football? Probably, but would be close against this Vikings team

    Field goals probably won't be enough but at least the offense are moving the ball.

    Shame that cheeky shovel pass by cousins didn't count

    Vikes defence has got two stops in a row and a 3 and out this time. Take out the very first play of the game and this is pretty good. Need a TD on the next drive though. Especially as yet another KC penalty gives us great field position.

    Amazing resurgence from McLaren this season. Great to see.

    The answer is no, but to be drawing isn't bad. I just wonder how different last season could have ended if we had Brian Flores as our DC instead of Donatell

    Well I did stay up until the end. It was a valient effort and we certainly fought to the end. It's a shame that the last play ended in a sack as it would have been good to see what would have happened if we got the pass off. Despite being a loss, it was a fairly enjoyable game

    Jefferson going on the IR. **** it, time to tank. And don't rush him back FFS. This could be a blessing in disguise. Without Jefferson, we only have Addison and KJ Osborn as regular WR's and then we're into back ups.

    We should be aggressively shopping Cousins now. Without Jefferson for at least the next 4 games, we're not going to win enough to get back into contention anyway. Hunter can be traded as well as well as others on high pay, short term deals.

    Tanking is such a terrible mentality. Try to win every game, and if you don't then fair enough

    Anyway time for Addison to light up my fantasy team

    Except between him, Chase and Adams and Thielen, I'm in a conundrum of who to start

    Yeah I've got Addison, although I benched him for Sunday. I don't think we need to actively tank TBH. It will happen naturally with Jefferson out and the quality of teams we're playing. But JJ's injury gives us a reason/excuse to be ****. And it's a good QB draft pool coming up. A top 5 pick would be huge for us.

    •could be huge

    Just look at the last 10 drafts or so and the top QBs taken, it is very hit and miss. Mahomes was like the 3rd or 4th QB taken in his draft and was something like 15th pick.

    I don’t really trust Kwesi to draft well based on what we’ve seen so far so it would be typical to get a top 5 pick and draft the next QB bust
