1st Place – Geoffrey Manboob
The best team in the league. Somehow top scored while having a negative goal difference. Robbed Goody and Matt blind on the OBJ trade.
Some good drafts are paying dividends
Consistently fantastic
Made some good draft picks. Hard to see much in the way of weaknesses all year.
It’s nice that it still says Mark’s name up there. He will live on in our hearts for all time. Mangboob has built a great team and plowed rightfully to the final. The raping of T2 on OBJ was the icing on the cake.
Made the final, clearly did something right, no clue what though [How could you know he was in the final when you completed this before the playoffs started???]
Fantastic turnaround and a solid GM. Been in the wilderness for a while and is now could be on a long term success trajectory.
Fucking awful
Arguably the best team this season. A remarkable turnaround. A well constructed rebuild after a poor auction. They are the Jags. It’s been a long building process for the sadness but years of stockpiling picks could now be about to pay dividends. My bet is yes!
RIP Mark.
2nd Place – Chris Braithwaite
One of the two best teams. Has been trending upwards ever since Steve was added to the team. Coincidence?
Another solid year from Dyna Hard. Furiously working the wavier wire as ever. Will it be enough this time? Probably not.
Dangerous is the word I’d use for them, on both sides of the word. They can be an utter powerhouse one week and then so random the next.
Is steve involved any more? Recent performance suggests not.
Really good
Has anyone heard from Steve recently? I haven’t.
Interested to see how Chris reloads this offseason.
Worked that wire like a boss.
Chris’ recruitment powers steamroll on and the Hard still have the most stacked roster in the league. Can’t help but feel he’ll still never win it though.
Did well to stay competitive
Credit to them persevering, and hope the post season doesn’t implode once again.
I don’t know how they manage to churn players like they do. They’ve had more players in and out than I’ve had hot dinners. This year it seems to have paid off so great news for the boys.
N/a
3rd Place – Neil Hawke
Where did Neil come from? Under the radar as usual Neil’s steady performance gave the original champion a return to the playoffs. Can he win it all again??? Probably not
I’m not sure how this happened, but a division title and the chance to become the first double champion.
Nope
Next season will be tough
Neil is fucked completely after this season surely? Still, he went all out for this year and his team was a juggernaut by the end that just slipped at the wrong time.
A good solid team
Neil is not going to win it all. Impressive turn around though, from an awful season last year to winning Tim.
N/A
Back in the playoffs!
Consistently good
He’s assembled probably the most start-studded team in the league. Very solid work.
4th Place – Benjamin Hendy
I really thought the B-men would be right up there this year but then I think that every year and they never are. You’d think I’d know better by now.
Solid coaching
Two steps forward, one step back at almost every turn.
Still no playoff berth for the commish’. [Apart from 2016 when his team made the playoffs?] Despite MFL trying to put him there. Same every year – good but not good enough
Consistently decent. Unlucky to miss out on the playoffs.
Unlucky not to make the playoffs
Another strong season here from our Commish, with a late season wobble. Can’t fault Ben on his choices and selections.
Arguably one of the best, most talented rosters in the league. Always finds a way to fail to make the playoffs. Obviously that’s a clear sign of bad coaching by the White Hue Jackson. Tried to sneak (cheat) into the playoffs, shocking behaviour
Inoffensive
Sorry
5th Place – Max Cubberley
Suffering the Curse of the Owl, Max has done a great job fighting back. Credit to him for managing a tricky one.
Unlucky to miss the playoffs.
Unlucky with injuries
Top scorer and looked the most powerful throughout the season. 1-4 finish cost them the deserved playoff spot.
When Max gets all his players back off IR he may well be in breach of the roster limit.
N/a
Either scoring massively or terribly – a more inconsistent team you could not find.
Struggled with injuries, did well considering
Fuck this guy.
Collapsed
.
6th Place – Pete Conaghan
Pete lives with his legacy and battles on. Huge Kudos for his work to float the sinking ship.
Trending upwards. 6 wins. Third place in the division. Mediocrity, thy name is Pete.
No
Eventually could be good
A big improvement
N/a
The Dungeoneers looked like they were threatening a winning season at one point but a 2-4 finish meant the wait goes on. Continued improvement but it’s time to start winning!
Not worst any more. Finally recovering from the Belgian Sex Waffle Philing of their original roster. At this rate a possible playoff contender in another five to ten years.
He’s done a good job turning a laughing stock into a pretty ok team
Nope
The pity points for Pete continue as he inches closer towards a viable franchise. I feel like a winning season isn’t a million miles away now.
7th Place – Ben Archer & Dan Sayles
Treading so much water. They will undoubtedly make the playoffs at some point in the next few years, because Peter is pretty terrible and someone has to qualify from there.
Showed some promise early on, even went for it trading away a few picks but ultimately a failure.
Very erratic scoring
Having finally collected some WRs worthy of starting, the rest of their roster is bollocks.
Injured
Terrible people.
–
We struggled second half – nuff said
Apparently just having 20 wide receivers isn’t enough, some of them actually have to be good. The Brees have had a bit of bad injury luck that forced them out of contention really
Bold moves didn’t pay off this year. Obviously Dan is the brains behind the operation. Terrible draft
Some of the woes here are luck based, as feel they should’ve done so much better. Think the coaching is sound but maybe some roster decisions haven’t helped. B-
It feels like they are slowly building towards something. Unfortunately that something seems to be the #1 pick.
8th Place – James Goodson & Mat Ward
Terrible team. Lost AA Ron then decide to tank. Somehow managed to win Tim despite being 3rd lowest scorers. A complete aberration surely?
If you’re going to cheat, cheat well
3rd lowest scorers in the league, all-play well below .500, incapable of giving anyone in Tim a match and spawned the playoffs by virtue of two stat corrections. The worst.
Feels like it should’ve been better for them, but they’ve barely squeaked a .500 despite looking like a favourite pre season.
Dreadful rulebreakers
The dodgy dealers of the dbowl continue their suspect traditions with some dubious point correction victories but couldn’t by their way to the final.
N/a
Trading you best RB an WR to win the division should not be mentioned
Not winning shit. Third lowest scorers fluked the division.
I feel like they backed into the playoffs on the weaknesses of others, rather than on their own quality. They have good DTs, but their MVP has definitely been the stat correction people.
T2 will never win anything.
9th Place – Ian Kulkowski & Jay Kelly
Ironically after sixteen* straight seasons of Chatterbowl ineptitude, both of these guys got their shit together. And promptly shit the bed in the Dynabowl. The worst championship defence ever.
Not the best season
It’s scary what this pair are capable of with the number 1 pick
N/a
Getting the #1 pick is good I guess.
We’ve not been good.
An impressive feat of collapsation. Clearly that owl was just a fluke. I hope they enjoyed it while it lasted.
Amazingly bad turnaround
nope
Disastrous season for the duo, not much more to say. Not all on the coaches but shame.
A point for preventing David from getting the first pick. If they get more than this single point then you lot have gone very, very wrong.
10th Place – David Slater
N/a
Tough year for the Losers, but David will bounce back. Riddled with issues, almost feels like a total rebuild is needed.
An awful team that failed at tanking. He did some ok work getting extra draft picks, but his team has been getting worse for years.
Even failed to tank properly
Imagine being this bad for this long.
I can’t even do losing right.
Slatz finally accepted it was full rebuild time and has accumulated picks well. If he uses them effectively he may get some points next year.
Bombed with aplomb. Top scoring while in firesale mode. Well done to Slatz
Just awful.
Too much trading
The losers shambolic roster finally came tumbling down! Then they started winning! Can’t even tank well.
The 2017 NFL Season in Review!
Highest High
The Cutler Wildcat: Sit there, don’t get hit, don’t touch anybody, don’t move. I feel like I executed that one. [The correct answer. I am ashamed I didn’t give it]
Patriots losing opening game to Chiefs
The Chiefs beating the Pats in the opener
The snow game
Pretty much any moment with Sean McVay
I actually started rooting for the Jags who seemed to be doing quite well
The massive FU to the Wigged One in Chief when players knelt in solidarity
Saints actually remembering how to play D
Kneeling protests for the national anthem
The contract extension for Rog.
Case Keenum getting it done. Love me some Keenums
Lowest Low
Trump! Dick
Dallas winning games
Chargers losing to Dolphins at home on a missed FG. Dolphins!
The randomness of suspensions.
The national anthem saga. Why people can hate a legitimate protest is beyond me
Most of the games in the first 10 weeks
Jerry Jones has outdone himself this year
Zach Miller’s gut wrenching injury
everything else
Orange Donald hijacking the police brutality protests.
The neverending stream of injuries, the league taking over the anthem protests, Jerry Jones being an utter twat.
What one thing does the NFL need to change, more than anything else?
Not sure where to start.
Legitimate protest. Owners interfering with what their players can and cannot do.
Consistency in discipline
With CTE, it’s looking like they’ll need to shut the whole thing down
I hear there have been some issues with gamepass?
Consistency of rules (and simplify)
The whole penalties and punishments thing.
Concussions need to be treated more seriously. And illegal hits that cause concussions too.
drop the national anthem
Not have fucking cunt owners
I honestly don’t know where to start.
Who’s going to be playing in the Superbowl, come February, and which of those teams will win?
Vikings-Chargers. Hopefully the Chargers, who I openly acknowledge I highly unlikely to get there. I just don’t want to endorse the Pats or Steelers.
The Browns are going to win it all! Just kidding. Jags v Vikings
Pats V Vikings. Vikings win
Pats/Vikings – Vikings win
Steelers v Vikings
Steelers v Panthers. Steelers will win.
Pittsburgh v LA Rams – Pittsburgh to win
Jags over rams
Chargers Vs rams
Rams-Pats. Pats to win.
Patriots Saints – Patriots will win
DynaBowl Awards now…
Who is going to win the Superb Owl? Who will they face in the final?
[Answered listed chronologically. You might be able to figure out the point at which people knew who was in the final]
Firebirds v Hard. Hard to win
Dyna Hard
Chris vs Mike. Chris will finally win, and mean that the first 4 Owls have each gone to different teams in Tim.
Sadness over hard
Oh. Right. I should have filled this in before the playoffs started. Because I was going to say Firebirds over Dyna Hard.
Mike will win v Chris
Chris and Mike. Mike will win
Sadness over Dyna
Rams
Chris vs Mike. Chris to win it all.
Mike is going to beat Chris.
Dynabowl related best moment
David tanking and not getting the number 1 pick.
Beating Kelkowski to screw myself out of the top pick. T2 not winning shit.
Stat corrections baby!
Stat corrections, frustrating and glorious in equal measure
Stat corrections
The stat correction victories.
Making the playoffs on a technicality
Two Peter teams making the playoffs
Hitting over 220 score
Free agency and the draft. There was hope then
Ian’s father in law fixing the Owl.
Worst Dynabowl related moment
Goodys 4 game stat-adjusted winning streak to put him in the playoffs
Tamworth’s stat correction heists
T2’s stat correction victories. Cruel
Losing 2 very close games by under 1 point
I can’t think of anything bad that’s really happened. I guess all then injuries to good players.
David having to resort to tanking so early. I know why but it’s just a shame to see a team in firesale so early
Beating Kelkowski to cost myself the top pick
Losing to the very worst team in all of dynabowl history…..the losers
20 point stat correction loss
Going first to worst
Me breaking the Owl.

Any team building comments?
We’re all shit
Mike and Chris have built really well and Pete’s come along way since the sex dungeon. Neil is going to feel the pinch I think.
Mediocre.
Chris has done well to stay competitive but will be interesting to see the Losers progression over the next two years
Most expensive: Neil. Thinnest Depth: David. Most likely to have a death in their midst: Either Brees or Max, given the volume of IR entries. Best drafter: No one.
No
Thought that The Brees would do much better this year but think part of that is rough luck.
Things change so fast. Team building is for chumps
Chris remains strong in picking up talent, and this time it’s paid off.
Chris is consistent
Pete is doing well considering he is still battling with the legacy of his team
Slatz’s has been dreadful.
We’re all shit, it’s almost like there’s no skill involved
Other Matters
I’m going to keep banging this drum until you all agree… The Chatterbowl should be an auction rather than draft, right?
Absolutely
No. One is enough
Obvs
We should do both. MORE LEAGUES
I don’t care.
No
Give it up already grandpa
Ben, have the GFY award.
Nope
Naturally
Yep
Last year there were two of you who said yes, this year, 5. We’re trending up, baby!
We should have have the rookie draft live one year. Where should it be held? I hadn’t meant to include this question again. We answered it last year. Sorry.
At and during another live sporting event such as a one day international, for added chaos
London
CabinCon
Name the place and I’ll be there
North Korea
Conveniently close to me
Auschwitz
The midlands. just makes sense for everyone involved….probably birmingham
Sheffield
Bahrain
Wherever is the most convenient for the most people. So Sheffield. Four of us live here already.
We all experienced profound grief when Jay gave his son a normal name. What should his punishment be?
It’s not too late to give the boy a spurious ‘known-as’ name such as Ha-Ha
The next one is called Chalupa Batman
To change his own name by depoll.
Change his own name by deed poll to J’ay
Drop the apostrophe from his name [I like that someone thinks he has one already, but if he follows this list in order he can get one then lose it again]
The shame of being worse than David is probably enough.
Death by apostrophes.
A bortles tattoo
There is no worse punishment than losing to the Losers this year
Jermichael
I’ve been punished enough.
What is the best musical (stage or screen)?
THIS IS FOOTBALL DAMN IT! (Wicked)

The Book of Mormon
Les Mis. Fuck the haterz
Carmen – A Hip-Hopera
Sunshine on Leith
Octomom! The Musical
West Side Story or South Park the Movie

Any questions I should have asked but didn’t?
Are we ready for expansion?
Which player have you learnt a concerning amount about since this time last year?

Inane argument of the year.
Who’s the biggest cunt?
I still love that this is a mandatory question.
N/a
Nope
Nah, you’re good
Nein.
Should the Chatterbowl be an auction?
