NFL (since 2016)

"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."

[Lee Trundle]

It's been confirmed that Rodgers is out for the season I've always liked him. Hope he manages to come back.

[southbankbornnbred]

"A few good signs last night, despite the huge injury to Rodgers: A) Garrett Wilson is a superb receiver. Did you see his game-levelling catch? Not many who have the speed of thought, and hands, to do that. B) Jordan Whitehead must live in Josh Allen's head. Three picks. Could have been more. C) Zach Wilson looked fired up for once, after the injury to Rodgers. The kid has flaws, but also talent. Big sign when he got picked off and was the first to smash into the Bill who made the interception. Tidied up his own mess: he wouldn't have done that last season. He needs to step up now. He should gather the team together, apologise for being an immature punk last term, get his team-mates behind him and push on. The Rodgers era might well be over in New York. Time to knuckle down and do the hard yards again."

[southbankbornnbred]

"FMOB! You just couldn't make this up, could you?! Early reports say it's a ""season ending""ù injury. We'll find out with the MRI today. I just laughed: we're used to the worst, spectacularly bad outcome! Welcome to the world of the cursed Jets! PS - did sneak the win, though. Wilson had better dust off those playbooks."

[crystal falace]

"Aaron rodgers potentially blowing his Achilles on his debut is the most jets things of all time. So much hope and excitement going into the season""¶and its gone."

[Norflundon]

Well we played rather well The pass rush was insane and they simply couldn't cope Funny thing is Pollard apart the offence never really got going and we still scored 33 in the first half. In fact we were 13 up before our offence had even been on the pitch!!! Parsons was unstoppable but I did tell you that. I'm not sure he was given them all but I'm pretty sure he got 3 sacks

[Nutsin]

"South bank Such a Google checking, pedant."

[southbankbornnbred]

"Nutsin, I take your broad point, fella, of course. But Pittsburgh is currently on Eastern Daylight Time - not Eastern Standard. It differs by one hour, and moves back to EST in November. Glad I could fully educate you... ;-)"

[Nutsin]

"Southbank Pittsburgh is on Eastern Standard time. San Fran is on Pacific Standard time. Playing a team at 1 pm local on the Eastern time zone is and always has been considered a disadvantage for west coast teams. Because of the 3 hour time difference. Glad I could educate you, unless of course you're gonna say Pittsburgh isn't on the coast like a wanker would, to hide his embarrassment."

[southbankbornnbred]

"Zeb, Yep, the pace in the Fish side - with the likes of Hill - is exceptional and they are a real threat with it. But I can't bring myself to ""enjoy"" watching them: I'm genetically programmed to dislike them! My gut feeling is that they will start like a train this season, and everybody will get very excited while their best players are fit and flying around at breath-taking speed. Then one or two of their sprinters will take big knocks, and things will (literally) slow down for them. I just hope the Jets bruising secondary delivers the blows before they tear us up..!"

southbankbornnbred 9:59 Mon Sep 11 Great game and I hope that the Tua/Hill show carries on all season. It would help my fantasy team a lot. Fins defence is a bit worrying mind but I don't care about that today. Annoyingly that game was only one that wasn't live on Gamepass for some inexplicalbe reason but was on NFL Redzone. Jordan Love stepping in for Rodgers effortlessly was quite something.

[Far Cough]

"They beat themselves apparently, get rid of that shit and they might be onto something."

[southbankbornnbred]

"Cough - been saying for a while that, when he's healthy, Mayfield is a better QB than people give him credit for. He's unlikely to be a league MVP, but the guy is annoyingly determined, has a bit of ""fuck you"" about him - and he is a street fighter-style QB. He'll throw some turgid stuff at times, but he is a scrapper and he'll find ways to move his offense. He's a good choice to go to Tampa after Brady, because he won't pretend he's #12. His problem will be staying healthy with that dodgy shoulder. That, and the fact that he spent too long in Cleveland - the graveyard of souls."

[Far Cough]

The Viqueens

[southbankbornnbred]

"Oh, and the highest paid player in the league - Bengals QB Joe Burrow - got a ""whopping""ù 85 yards on his new contract! Worth every cent. Stupid cats."

[southbankbornnbred]

"Some great games on opening weekend, too: The Fish v Chargers game was insane - seven or eight changes of lead, and Tua throwing more yards than Adam Gase offenses achieved in his entire HC career! Packers putting almost 40 points on the Bears was unexpected, after some pre-season hype in Chicago. But the Bears need to be careful: the oldest rivalry in the league is in danger of losing the word ""rivalry""ù: the Bears haven't beaten the Packers for 9 games now. Dallas' defence looked ominously good while shutting down the Giants, while the Eagles made winning in Belichick's Boston look quite easy. Always had another gear, and you don't see that often when New England are at home. Going to get interesting. Jets-Bills opener on Tuesday."

[southbankbornnbred]

"Pittsburgh is ""east coast""ù?! You try telling that to Steelers fans: they'll tell you they're 100% mid-west. Philly - down the other end of Pennsylvania - that might be considered east coast. But there are people in Steeler country who have genuinely never seen the coast. Couldn't spell it."

[ironsofcanada]

Dallas defence just might win me a couple fantasy matchups.

[Nutsin]

Niners completely dominated the Steelers from start to finish. Big win on the road in an early East coast game. Seahawks look like shit! Falcons are the best long shot bet. Onto the Rams next week before we play the Giants at home. Giants currently getting spanked by the Cowboys.

[Hermit Road]

The Eagles have probably got the best offence and the best defence in the league. Pile on them for the SB this year.

[southbankbornnbred]

"Season opener for most teams today - although the defending champion Chiefs surprisingly lost to the Lions on Friday night. I watched most of the game - the Chiefs' receivers dropped so many ""gimme"" passes it was unbelievable. No wonder Mahomes was furious. That should have been a comfortable win for Kansas. This could be a good season - lots of teams at ""tipping points"" in terms of their development: including Norf's brother's mob, who look well set-up defensively. Jets play the Bills in their opener on Tuesday. We'll see if Rodgers still has an arm, or whether the Packers sold us a pup. Either way, he must be better than the ageing Joe Flacco, surely..?!"

[Norflundon]

My bro says Parsons is on fire in training said he's never seen nothing like so I hope one of you fuckers has him in your fantasy team

[The Mercernary]

"Sbbb, Well drafting all Jets players would've definitely been worse, there is that! As a Fin I should enjoy the Jets struggling, but I have every sympathy. No-one deserves that much failure! PS I've brought Allen Lazard into my team (deliberately!)"

[El Scorchio]

Just watched the four parter on the Florida Gators. Really good. Urban Mayer is a nightmare. You can see why it went so tits up in Jacksonville so fast.

[southbankbornnbred]

"Mercenary, I wouldn't worry about it, fella: every year for the past 20 years, the NFL website has told me that that the (real life) Jets drafted well. And every year for most of that time I watched the same turgid shite week in, week out! I think NFL.com told me Vernon Gholston was a good top ten pick!"

[The Mercernary]

"I just missed the draft but was quite relaxed about auto pick, as it gave me a strong team last season. Won't make that mistake again üòÇ The email they send out about ""who won your draft""ù gave my team a ""òB'. You'd think that was ok, but no: Projected rank = 12th Projected record = 1-13 If that's a B""¶ 3 of the first 4 picks were at WR ü§∑""ç‚ôÇÔ∏è"
