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."

[Far Cough]

Was that to stop the clock?

[zebthecat]

The guy who presents NFL Redzone was almost speechless when that bit came up.

[Oh dear]

In the 41-years that the NFL has been on the TV in the UK I have never seen a QB throw an interception while trying to throw the ball out-of-bounds. Until last Sunday. The absolute cսnt.

[cockney hammer]

mr b could not belive he misd the field goal attempt lol

[Takashi Miike]

"the honeymoon period for our new owners is officially over. questionable trades, dragging their feet over getting rid of poor coaches and being linked to a control freak like belichik which will just prolong the pain. harris really needs to get his head out of his arse and look to the future, no some seventy plus year old coach that has done nothing as a HC without brady"

[southbankbornnbred]

"Zach Wilson has officially been relegated to #3 QB on the Jets roster for this weekend's game - behind complete nobodies Tim Boyle and Trevor Siemian. Boyle was picked up to throw to back-up receivers on the team's 'rest' days and will now start! He has 3 TDs and 9 interceptions from his Detroit days. Effectively, it makes Wilson the fourth choice QB at the Jets - with Rodgers likely to return in the new year even if he never plays another snap in New York. Surely the end for the kid from BYU? He will go somewhere else at the end of the season and become a back-up - which is probably what he needs."

[Nutsin]

"How about them Niners! Purdy with a perfect QB rating! Aiyuk playing lights out, Kittle showing up and CMC is the cherry on top, oh almost forgot, we got a Deebo in our back pocket too. Then there's the Defense, what a dream team! Hawks up on Thanksgiving, looking forward to some good food, a couple of Jameson's on the rocks and some good football and Friday off of course. Then Saturday night my boys are playing in the CIF final, Mission Viejo high school V Servite! What a week of football!"

Best RB even

[Joe C]

You should all die of shame if you don't Burnsie. Lost our QB and best WR last night and still should have won - missed a last gasp field goal

[Mr. Burns]

Even when we are rubbish we still sweep the sorry Seahawks. Great work.

[southbankbornnbred]

"Properly fed up with the Jets this season. The Rodgers injury couldn't have been predicted, sure. But he was a near 40 year-old and there was always a higher chance of long-term injury to him. We also overpaid for him, distorted salaries elsewhere in order to get him (what was the point of the Dalvin Cook and Lazard deals, for example?), failed to invest in an O-Line because of that, and also brought in a co-ordinator - Rodgers' mate - whose system nobody else understands. All at the behest of owners who don't understand the game and yet wanted to be seen to lead that Rodgers deal. The whole thing has properly fucked us. Yet we have a superb defense - the part of the team really built by the head coach. I hope they (defenders) all stay, but would anybody be surprised if - after another binfire season - some of those gold-standard players decide to cash in and go elsewhere next term?"

[southbankbornnbred]

"Zach Wilson is finally done in New York. Surely he's gone at the end of the season? That was a binfire of an offense last night. Truly and unforgettably dreadful. It didn't help that he has a barely patched up O-Line, but his decision-making is just shocking. Several times I was screaming at the screen when he failed to spot open receivers. I hate seeing QBs get benched, but once again cheered when Zach W was pulled out of that game. When we drafted him, he had some talent that needed moulding. He has only gone backwards since - he is genuinely worse now than the day we drafted him. A teenage-style ego that got away from him early on and has never wanted to to knuckle down and do the hard yards. He also looks very confused by a complex and clunky offensive system. Nate Hackett was brought in to help Rodgers - but it has undermined everybody else. Few understand his system, especially a limited backup QB. Zach W needs to do a Geno Smith: leave, knuckle down and study playbooks, work as a backup QB for a few seasons and then maybe - if he's lucky - get a start again somewhere else. This has become a defining feature of the New York Jets for the past 30 years. Rodgers was supposed to end that, of course, but that fell apart after four plays!"

[Joe C]

13-0 up and cruising when I went to bed - yet lose 16-17. Bugger.

[Takashi Miike]

"beaten by a third string journeyman, an absolute fucking shambles. time for titanic ron, del rio, all of them to go. preferably tonight"

[Far Cough]

"ioc, need your input on the Adam Johnson hockey thread down below."

[ironsofcanada]

Anyone have a new coach they want to give the Saints? Or at least an O-lineman or 2?

[zebthecat]

Nutsin 5:47 Mon Nov 13 Joshua Dobbs must be the best back-up QB in the NFL. Watched most of the match on NFL Redzone as he was almost always there. Given how little time he has been with Vikings it bodes well once he has the entire playbook down.

[Grumpster]

"Looks pretty open this year which is good. Most of the quality teams have had games where they've been made to look average and before Young came in to help get proper pressure on the QB, our secondary was looking absolutely atrocious."

[Nutsin]

"Vikings look good. Dobbs is balling, what a pick up!"

[Far Cough]

Vikings after a shit start have the league's longest win streak at five.

[Nutsin]

"Niners are back. An utterly dominant performance against a Jags team that had been in a 5 game win streak. Trent Williams and Deebo came back from injury and we are back to scoring over 30 points per game. Chase Young is a nice addition to our D. Lost count of how many sacks we got and turn overs. Seahawks are pretenders, they've had an easy run of games and have been beaten by any good teams they have played. With the exception of the Lions who have improved since week 2. Seattles next 5 games will expose them, they'll be lucky to get 1 win. Anyway Tampa up next. Onwards and upwards!"

[RBshorty]

Arizona win. And the Giants get thumped by the Cowgirls. Putting Big Blue closer to the No1 spot in the draft come spring time Go G MEN.!

[southbankbornnbred]

"Belichick under a lot of pressure in New England after another defeat. But that shouldn't mask another god-awful effort by the Jets' offense - and another defeat for them despite more excellent defensive play. The Rodgers gamble has been a clusterfuck, through no fault of the ageing QB. But the accompanying lack of investment in the o-line means relying on back-up Zach Wilson to try to win games with no protection is putting victories beyond Saleh's excellent defense."

[RBshorty]

Far. Of course Belichick is still there. Although the rumour going around. Is that the Commando's. (Silly name for a team.) Will go in for him in the off season.?

[southbankbornnbred]

"Saleh has to defend his QB, of course. But he damned Wilson with feint praise after the Chargers loss, in which we didn't even score a touchdown and he got sacked eight times. ""No, I'm not going to say it was even close to his worst game.""ù Which effectively amounts to: if you think THAT was bad, just watch him next week!"
