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."

Wales and Gloucester winger Louis Rees-Zammit is to leave rugby union with immediate effect to join the NFL international player pathway (IPP). No me neither

[El Scorchio]

Oh dear 10:26 No they aren't. At least not Philly.

[southbankbornnbred]

You can have Nate Hackett if you like..?!

[southbankbornnbred]

"You did, Griff: good call, that. After you wrote that, I watched a couple of Eagles games and you could sense that things were falling apart. The offense does look quite confused and slow to react at times - which is never a good sign for the OC."

[stewie griffin]

"been shit all year and said as much when we were 10-1, just about the worst 10-1 you'll ever see. New OC & DC needed, and wouldn't be surprised if Sirianni goes as well. Depending on whether Cox, Graham & Kelce fancy another crack, could be a big & long rebuild from here. Johnson is pushing 34 as well so will be losing big characters and performers over the next little while. Hard to argue that the 8 left aren't the best and most deserving teams, so will enjoy from here on out. Hoping for a Lions SB win, but frankly anyone who is left except the 9ers is good by me."

"Bizarre though it sounds, I thought the Buccs win against Philly was the most predictable of the play-off games over the weekend. The wheels fell off the Eagles' season weeks ago. Lost five out of their last six regular season games, whereas Baker Mayfield rallied the Buccs to five out of six wins. Mayfield is a decent NFL quarterback. Have said for years, even while he was bombing in Cleveland, that if you give him even half-decent targets and a line, he will give you a top-half (league-wise) performance. He's never going to be a top-three QB, but he's significantly better than people realised after the graveyard of Cleveland. He has good accuracy and a ""fuck you"" attitude - a resilient fucker. It's Mayfield v Goff in the divisional round. Quite a story behind that game."

[Oh dear]

"RBshorty 1:24 Tue Jan 16 I agree, I've been a closet Lions fan since mid-October I'm not surprised by Dallas or Philly flunking, their 12-5 and 11-6 records are bolstered by 4 gimme wins against the Redskins and Giants"

Who doesn't love seeing the Eagles blow it

[southbankbornnbred]

Bills making hard work of it in the second half. Steelers getting themselves back into it...

[RBshorty]

Would love to see the Bills or Lions go all the way. Both have been a punching bag for league for far too long. Every dog needs to have its day.

[southbankbornnbred]

"Bills currently having one of their 'on fire' days, clearly! Allen has stepped up tonight. It's weird - they look so good when they have self-belief. They looked panicked against even the Jets in September, when our defense got to them."

[El Scorchio]

Quality run. Suh is so softly spoken and eloquent. Great to listen to.

[Grumpster]

Decent run that! And I'd love a go on phoebe schecter.

"Pleased that I won't need to hear Prescott do his Cookie Monster ""yeah, HERE WE GO""ù pre-snap call again this season."

[Lee Trundle]

"stewie griffin 9:37 Mon Jan 15 Not much of a comparison. One is probably the biggest singer on the planet, the other (and I'm probably showing my age here) is someone I've never heard of. It's like comparing Ed Shearon with ray winstone (off here)."

[lowlife]

Dolphins were fucked as soon as they lost to the Bills and gave away home advantage.

[Nutsin]

Cowboys were bad but the Dolphins were worse. They were pathetic!

[stewie griffin]

"Lee Trundle¬†5:28 Mon Jan 15 Re: NFL (since 2016) Nowhere near as much fuss around hailee steinfeld when she goes to see josh Allen. Possibly because she doesn't parade around like an attention seeking cսnt? In other news, tough to call which was the most predictable outcome of the weekend; Dak Prescott throwing a bunch of picks that killed his team in the playoffs, or the LOLphins failing to trouble a team with a record over .5"

[Joe C]

And I've just seen Schneider is doing a press conference later today - so should know more then

[Joe C]

*no team can approach a Head Coach in the play-offs

[Joe C]

"Nutsin 2:05 Mon Jan 15 From what I've read, Quinn is already lined up for an interview. Although the coaching situation will obviously change as the play-offs progress - and no team can approach a coach in the play-offs until the Championship games are done"

[Lee Trundle]

"I'm actually starting to feel a bit sorry for Taylor Swift. I reckon even she is probably sick of all the attention she's getting, and probably just wants to be a girlfriend at the game supporting her boyfriend."

[El Scorchio]

Thanks! That's him. Seems like a lovely guy. Hasn't posted for a few weeks by the look of it so hopefully he's well.
