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."

"Superb from the Jets. Have that Siriani, you fucking cսnt, leading a bunch of fucking cunts. Unbelievable it's the first time the Jets have ever beaten them."

[crystal falace]

"I have Cook available, Crystal, but he's not getting a huge number of carries ahead of Breece Hall. Who have you got going the other way?"

[crystal falace]

Im still in pretty desperate need of a proper running back! I have 6 wide receivers who are all the number 1 target on their team and only one proper running back! Must be some negotiating to be done!

"That was some beating the 49ers handed out to the Cowboys. Dealt with a very good Dallas defense. Just caught up with the highlights (didn't see the game). The season is shaping up now. As usual, my lot are well out of it by week five. The Fish look fast and furious, but will surely implode upon contact?!"

[El Scorchio]

Love the absolute beatdown the 49ers put on the cowgirls. Too much talk- as ever- coming out of Dallas. Bit of humility never hurt anyone.

"Jets got an ugly win in Denver, which the press are making a huge deal of in their usual overblown way. But the truth is that the Jets' air offense continues to stink the place out. The win was forged, once again, on some excellent defense and a running game led by Breese Hall (including a 72 yard TD). Zach Wilson still cannot read the game and throw the football quickly enough in the NFL. He isn't getting any better with playing time and experience, Yet. But, to be fair to him, his O-line was awful in pass protection and everybody still seems confused by the OC's playbook (designed entirely for Aaron Rodgers). It's so disjointed. But the fact is the Jets cant really pass the football. Yet the irony is we have a superb receiver in Garret Wilson, plus Cobb and Lazard, literally waiting to catch the ball. With our O-line and QB, they get little time to get open - but when they do they're often left frustrated because Zach can't see them quickly enough. It's painful to watch. Ugly. Saved by a very fine running back."

"Went to the Bills v Jags game yesterday, always nice to see the Bills Mafia having a sulk. Had only been to that ground as an away fan before and didn't think much of it, but totally different experience yesterday. It works so much better for NFL than Wembley does. Anyway, week off for the mighty Seahawks, we'll continue our charge against the Bengals next week."

[Nutsin]

"Niners with a statement win over Dallas. Beat them down in every aspect. Browns on the road in an early east coast game, could be tricky. But the Niners are firing on all cylinders right now, so I'm expecting a big road win. on a side note it's always nice to see the Rams lose."

"Laters Cowboys, think they've been shown to be very overrated tonight!!"

[Josh]

Norf! My brother is desperate for some tickets. I've given him your number to contact you.

[Norflundon]

Missing our game to go to the bills game tomorrow really looking forward to seeing Allen in the flesh Then up all night to see the big game told work I won't be in till 12 Bit like West Ham's game tomorrow will be a true test of where we are as we've absolutely obliterated 3 teams and then had a blow out Need Al the big boys to turn up so many good match up parsons/Bosa and Trent Williams/Zac Martin Mccafrey/Pollard Samuel/lamb Purdy/Dak I think it'll be a tight game and can see turnovers deciding it

[Norflundon]

I can probably get you three but not hospitality but they will be very good seats

[bobbymoore]

I'm after hospitality ones if you know of any. Looking for 3

[Norflundon]

I may have some tickets for Sundays game at Tottenham but they are NOT freebies unfortunately if anybody is interest let me know

"it's an insult to any football fan's intelligence to have to sit through it. It's basically loose women, with hags nattering. Last night, I kid you not, they were in a review for a play which was coming back for grounding and the bloke gave this superb analysis. It's probably coming back but who wants the right decision? I want the more fun decision, plus I really want the Seahawks to win this game so I hope it stands.' I mean WHAT THE FUCK? I cannot believe they've had this format for 3 years plus. It must be offered to them for free or something because it's the absolute drizzling shits and I cannot believe they haven't binned it off. The woman (she's some ex player's wife or something isn't she?' is just not a professional standard TV presenter at all and the guests are morons more interested in 'comedy' chat than actual analysis or worthy insight. It's like they've dragged three people in off the street five minutes before TX and said 'Just have a laugh' A step up from a student TV station. I genuinely think three of us off here could do a better job of it."

"The Channel 5 coverage is absolutely diabolical. On another level of shit. The UK's NFL audience is basically pretty well-informed about the sport these days - and has been for some time (just read this thread, with fans of many sides who genuinely know their stuff). But, seemingly, they continue to pitch the NFL coverage here at five year-olds with an SEN plan and an hour extra for every exam. Basically, the UK commercial channels (with the exception of Sky) approach it like: ""Look at the shiny things, and the cheerleaders. Look at Taylor Swift in the audience..."" It's not proper football, of course. But it's a really good sport, that gets more interesting the more tactically involved it becomes. Yet they continue to pitch it to dunces here. At least the BBC made more effort to explain tactics, line-ups, formations etc. Sky does a decent job, because of its connections with the league in the US."

It really is a shit show isn't it .

"Fuck me, these clueless cunts on the channel 5 coverage get more annoying every time."

"Another deeply frustrating night for the Jets. Defense was superb - few sides will play defense better than that this season against Mahomes and Reid's offense. Even Zach Wilson was playing at the limit of his capacity, and we looked on for an upset win. Then the kid goes and fumbles a basic ball with 7.20 left and Mahomes runs out the clock. And that's the problem with Wilson. Even when he's having one of his better games - and he did yesterday - his ceiling is still not quite high enough and he makes basic errors. Hard one to take for the defense, that. They deserved the win, played out of their skins, watched their QB they don't like do well for three quarters - and still he lost them the game when it was on the line. You've got to think that Wilson will not be the starter for much longer, despite an improved performance last night. Because he just finds new ways to lose. Hard to know where the season goes now. 1-3 record looks like every Jets season for the past 15 years. Hard to see it being anything different this time around. And, to think, just a few weeks ago some pundits were tipping them as outsiders for the Super Bowl (it wasn't going to happen!)."

[Nutsin]

Niners are 4-0. Purdy went 20 of 21 He is legit. CMC with 4 TD's is silly. Aiyuk was on fire. Cowboys up next. Looking forward to a tough game.

[Grumpster]

McCaffrey is an absolute joke. Absolutely superb trade he was.

[Takashi Miike]

what a game in philly. sam throwing a touchdown pass with two seconds on the clock to tie things up. ice in his veins

[southbankbornnbred]

"Zeb, Yep, you're right: both of those QBs read the game and make decisions quicker than Wilson ever will. God knows what Zach must make of Miami's pace right now - he cannot read the game as quickly as that offense runs! It's no shame on Zach Wilson - although his character and approach has not helped him (hence his team-mates don't like him). Some say he's not really that interested in a lengthy pro career now that he's a multimillionaire. I don't know if that's true, but he can't continue in New York once he's benched for the second time in a brief career. He'll need to do a Geno Smith and rebuild elsewhere, as a back up. Wilson is just not up to the job as a starter, despite some natural talent. Most QBs who enter the NFL do not make the grade - and the Jets have had more than their fair share of them since the Johnsons took over. For me, the problems at NYJ start from the top down. I rate Saleh (after a shaky first season) and Douglas (GM). They were putting complex pieces of the jigsaw together before Woody Johnson came back from the UK under Trump, got impatient, and broke the bank for an ageing Aaron Rodgers and his expensive acolytes. It'll cost the Jets now - possibly for a couple of seasons."
