"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."

"What's worse is that teams have been easing up on us. Both the Colts and the Bills (the two '45' games) sent out an array of back-ups as the games ended. They could quite easily have followed the Patsies and put 50 on us. Which is the NFL equivalent of losing 6-0 or more. At the moment, this is happening almost every week. I'm not buying Saleh's ""All gas, no brakes"" crap. From here it looks more like ""Straight over a cliff""."

"Another Rob ""Show Us Something, Anything"" Saleh defensive masterclass this weekend. Last four games we've shipped... 54 31 45 45 It's an embarrassment. The Jets have always been a defense-first franchise. Always. Even when we've been clueless on offense - which has been often - we've always competed by having a strong defense under the likes of Parcells, Edwards, Ryan and Bowles. It's still early, of course (although he's now nine games into his likely 34-game contract). But Saleh has shown less than zero on the defensive side of things. And that's supposed to be his specialism. Things might change. But at the moment, he looks like a fraud."

I'll take your word for it falace. More or less stopped following the NFL when it disappeared from Channel 4 until the highlights reappeared on the BBC. Rather a long time really but was aware of the Patriots round about the Brady/Gronkowski/Hernandez period.

Zeb its very similar to the early brady era patriots where he just protected the ball and let corey dillion run the ball and the defence suffocate teams.

"crystal falace 10:50 Sun Nov 14 The weird thing is that is so un-Bellichick. I can't remember a Patriots offence that used the run so much. Washington were very, very good."

Mac jones and thenpatriots absolutely destroying the browns without their offensive centrepiece in damien harris. Just plug in a rookie RB and he trounces the 2nd best run defence in the league.

My fantasy team is getting thrashed this week thank to Ceedee Lamb (shame he didn't this for me last year) and Tom Brady's shocker.

Those damn fish! They're now above us in the AFC East. Their initial uselessness was the only thing keeping our season going.

"I can't believe that the Rams are operating anywhere even close to under the salary cap. WTF is going on? Have they employed some mad financial wizard or something? It stinks to high heaven. Are they not declaring certain, ahem, player benefits..?"

The Rams are really going for the big prize now. Given how no team looks particularly stand out this year why the hell not?

"As if the Jets' latest clusterfuck season couldn't get any worse, now Marcus Maye - our best defensive back - has torn his Achilles and is out until 2022. This is the best back on a side that has given up 54, 31 and 45 points in the past three games. So all things are relative. But imagine how shit they could be without him! This could get very ugly."

Rex Ryan often called defensive plays when he was Jets HC. Even when he had his underling Pettine. Just saying.

"And I'm going to keep saying it until the egotistical fella swallows his pride and starts calling defensive plays - but Robert Saleh has been a poor appointment so far. Because he was given the job on the back of his defensive work in SF. Yet in the past two and a half weeks, we've conceded 50+ points against the Patsies and 45(!) against the Colts. In between, we shipped 31 points even when winning against the Bengals. The defense is a clusterfuck. EVERYBODY can see what the problem is. Except Saleh, who has no HC experience and yet has decided he wants to be hands-off (in terms of calling plays) on match-days. So the defence is currently in the hands of somebody who got Dan Quinn sacked. I can see Saleh going down the same road as Quinn (who was also lauded as a defensive mastermind before he became Atlanta's HC). The situation is rescuable, but it probably needs Saleh to change approach."

"One of the few on our ""active"" roster with reliable hands - alongside Moore and Davis, I should say. The TEs are not playing well. Mims has often been inactive for some inexplicable and made-up reason."

"TM - agreed: I like Crowder. He has reliable hands - one of the few on our roster who does - and makes good catches in crowded areas. But it looks like the coaches went for Elijah Moore as the slot guy of the future, so there was talk of Crowder leaving. I'm pleased he didn't. It's a bit ridiculous - we actually have four decent receivers on the roster: Mims, Davis, Crowder and Moore. Yet until last week, most of them hadn't performed this season, while Mims is mysteriously out of favour (you have to think there is something else behind it, because it's just illogical to have left him out). Believe it or not, there are a few sides much better than the Jets that would bite your arm off for two or three of those WRs. Yet the Jets have wasted them so far. That's the NYJ effect under these owners."
