NFL (since 2016)

[crystal falace]

"Free agency started last night and was pretty crazy some huge money being spent. Osweiler getting £18m a year for the Texans, leaving the Broncos without a QB, Giants have spent a fortune on good but not great players, Oliver Vernon has more guaranteed money than JJ Watt. lots more deals but cant be bothered to list them all."

[Joe C]

sbb - I'm still waiting for you to let us know what you really think of Gase...

[southbankbornnbred]

"TM - yeah, agree with that. We've got a guy who is effectively both a politician (a politically-appointed diplomat, at least) and a football owner. It's not going well at the moment!"

[Takashi Miike]

"I wouldn't say singletary was a bad coach, you just need to look at the work he did for patrick willis and the other defenders he worked with at the niners, and how they improved. like many of these franchises, if the leadership above the head coach isn't right it's impossible to succeed and we have one of the worst at that in bruce allen. the cսnt should be a politician, not in football"

[ironsofcanada]

"From the highlights, nice to see my old friend Ingram doing some of the business against New England. Look beatable with decent quarterback pressure one side and a commitment to the run on the other."

[southbankbornnbred]

"Cough, Decent shout - but Singletary only had one losing season as a head coach. He turned around their 2008 season mid-way through it, when he won more games than he lost. The following season, he went to 5-1 before the wheels came off - but still recorded their first non-losing season since 2002. It was only his last season in charge when he failed - and even then he won five games. Nope - not even close to Rich Kotite for outright failure. And, compared to Adam Gase, a superhuman coaching genius! ;-)"

[Far Cough]

"southbankbornnbred, Singletary? Loved him as a player though, one of the greatest LBs of all time, maybe coaching is not for him?"

[southbankbornnbred]

"And Cousins is a decent QB. He's just not elite level. But, then, so few are. The problem with the last 20 years, is that everybody is measuring QBs according to the capacities of Brady, Manning, Rodgers and Brees. Now Mahomes has turned up, throwing TDs like every day is practice, and it has ratcheted up every assessment again. Cousins is a decent QB. There are other decent QBs in this league right now, too. And their teams are capable of winning championships if the HC can build the right sides around them. Next couple of years will be interesting. Brady, Rodgers, Brees, Rivers and Roethlisberger will all retire - leaving huge gaps in their franchises. Until then, it'll be a throw-off."

[southbankbornnbred]

Serious question - can somebody name a worse head coach in the modern history of the NFL than Adam Gase? All suggestions welcome and considered.

[southbankbornnbred]

"Thought the Ravens were excellent against the Patsies. They played exactly how you should play when you've got a dual threat QB: Jackson didn't run the ball too often - just enough to constantly keep Belichick on his toes. By the end, even BB couldn't second guess what the Ravens were doing offensively. Mind you, that will just make him angry, so expect a shut-out if they happen upon each other in the play-offs! It was a really good game. The Patsies do look weak at TE without Gronk. Brady has lost his best check-down and, aged 41, even he was beginning to look human last night. Don't write them off yet, though. As a fan of an AFC East team, we've learned never to do that just yet. As for the Jets - now the worst team in the entire NFL. Forget those Bengals, they've played much better than we have on several occasions this season. The Jets at the moment are as bad as NFL teams get. Absolute disgrace of a franchise right now. Bit like West Ham - the only thing keeping them going is their huge fan base."

[Far Cough]

"What a cսnt of a weekend, England got smashed, lost to fucking Newcastle and the Vikings lost when they should have won CUNTS"

[Far Cough]

colchesterhammer 12:42 Mon Nov 4 Re: NFL (since 2016) Why is Cousins poor?

[Takashi Miike]

"fair play to the ravens, I underestimated them"

[Nutsin]

And then there was one. Niners only undefeated team in NFL. 19-0 ? Seattle Monday night football next up.

[normannomates]

Just starting to give this cringe fest the benefit.. then the blue tent. Fuckin embarrassing The Yanks always find a way of ramping up the cսnt levels

[colchesterhammer]

Big win for the Chiefs today. Happy we've managed to split the Matt Moore games 1-1. Cousins really is a poor QB.

[southbankbornnbred]

"Should say - give the interim HC job to Gregg Williams. Nobody will want the Jets job at this stage in the season, except for somebody who is already on the coaching staff. Give it Williams, kick Gase out the door as soon as possible and start the hunt for the next Jets head coach - a proper coach, a grizzly old bastard with a proven track record. Maybe Williams will prove to be that person."

[southbankbornnbred]

"Unbelievable, really. To lose 18-25 to the Fins is genuinely disgraceful. Gase has to be sacked. Tonight. Admit they employed a fool, give the HC job to Gregg Williams and move on from this frog-eyed debacle as quickly as possible. That was embarrassing."

[southbankbornnbred]

"Zeb - it's an utter shambles, mate. The Jets, believe it or not, are actually trying to win. Fish leading 26-15 with 4mins to go. Just seen one of the worst safeties I've ever witnessed. Almost, but not quite, Adam Gase's ""Butt Fumble"" moment. If he isn't sacked after this game, when we have lost to a team purposefully trying to lose as many games as possible this season, then you have to wonder whether he has got dirt on the owners or something! He is the worst head coach I have ever seen. No exaggeration. Far worse than Rich Kotite, who was gobsmackingly bad."

[zebthecat]

Regretting leaving Curtis Samuels on the bench (again). Might the Fins actually win?

[southbankbornnbred]

"Going into the fourth quarter, the purposefully-tanking Fish lead trying-his-hardest-to-save-his-job Adam Gase's Jets 24-15. Gase is already in my top three worst coaches in NFL history. And is quickly flying past Rich Kotite into the #1 slot. He is genuinely trying to win games in order to save what remains of his awful head coaching ""career"" and yet he is losing to a team which is genuinely trying to lose as many games as possible this season so that they get the #1 draft pick. How utterly shit must you be as a coach to be in that position? Think of all of the worst bits of Glen Roeder and Avram Grant, mix them together, shake them about a bit so that he goes frog-eyed, pour them into a vat of stinking oil, piss, bile and cabbage, and let them slip out into a burning skip in Lidl car park. And then you've got Adam Gase."

[Joe C]

Fucking 49ers

[Takashi Miike]

"bandwagon's a good word for it. seahawks aside, they've beat a lot of poor teams, but I do like jackson a lot"

[Hermit Road]

"I watch a few of these NFL talk shows during the week and the bandwagon is definitely rolling for wifh them picking the Ravens. Loads of them are on it and to be fair, they have good reason."

[Nutsin]

"Kwon Alexander out for the year, torn Pec. That hurts, he's our best and fastest Linebacker. Not good."

[zebthecat]

Osi said on NFL this week that the Raven's are probably the best equiped offence to deal with the Pat's pass rush and man coverage as they wing it a lot when the play gets broken.
