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."

[Nutsin]

"Rams are all in on this year. They only have 3 draft picks left for next years draft. A 3rd, 5th and 7th rounder""¶. 3rd is a compensatory pick so it is at the end of the 3rd. That will come back to bite them in the ars! Miller is old and expensive, bad move really! Good news for the Niners!"

[Mr. Burns]

Well they are two day 2 2022 draft picks from us Southbank.

[southbankbornnbred]

"Sounds like both the Rams and Miller going all out on a SuperBowl appearance, too."

[zebthecat]

Derek Henry to have foot surgery. That is probably it for the season.

[southbankbornnbred]

"What?! That's fucking nuts. Unless it's to avoid the loyalty/roster payment if he's still there in Jan/Feb. There's probably a similar figure due then, too, which maybe the Rams will pick up? Otherwise, that makes absolutely no sense."

[Mr. Burns]

"Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Broncos are paying $9 million of Miler's remaining $9.7 million salary."

[southbankbornnbred]

"The rams must be close to busting the salary cap, surely? Some huge contracts flying around that place."

[Mr. Burns]

Von Miller to the Rams.

[southbankbornnbred]

"TM - your kicker's name is a headline writer's dream! Bit of a brutal weekend for injuries - including fears that the best running back in the league has a broken foot. Henry is having a scan later today. Vikes lost Hunter to another injury, Saints lose Winston at QB to a 'significant' injury. You know the season is in full swing when the injuries start to pile up. Our O-line is just a patch-up, not that anybody would know because the rest of our game is so poor generally!"

[Norflundon]

"West Ham cowboy doubles are becoming the norm and both looking pretty unstoppable. To win like that without Dak and all the other players that are out definitely starts giving me the feeling they have everything, defence were immense yesterday""¶.obviously down to the new West Ham coaching staffüòè"

[zebthecat]

Arf! Trevor Siemian vs the Bucs defence could get messy.

[Takashi Miike]

"we've managed to release a kicker, sign a worse one and the cսnt has a surname called blewitt. only us"

[southbankbornnbred]

"At fecking last! Managed to score some first-quarter points, and get an interception, too. It's only a win against the stray cats, but it's a start. I like Carter at RB and White at QB played like he had fuck all to lose (which is exactly how a back-up who has never started a game should play). I read that one or two senior folk in NYC read the riot act to Saleh/LaFleur after last week's amateurish showing. I'm still not convinced by Saleh and Ulbrich on defense - gave up another 30+ points even when winning today. This is a head coach with a LOT still to prove - especially on his favoured defensive side of the ball. Still think he needs to start calling plays there. Still - a win is a win is a win...good day to be Hammer and a Jet."

[crystal falace]

What a horrific call to gift the jets a first down! Receiver lowers his head as the defender tries to make a tackle and they flag the receiver for helmet to helmet?!

[Takashi Miike]

been a brilliant game this

[crystal falace]

Zack Wilson going to get wally pipped!

[Takashi Miike]

"SB, really impressed with your boys tonight against a good bengals team. the coaches finally working out how to use michael carter, and the other back johnson as a great alternative"

[lab]

"Whole game was a good watch ,and yeah ,who would have predicted that ending !"

[crystal falace]

Great game with a wild ending!!

[southbankbornnbred]

"Our ex-coach Rex, who was clueless on offense but knew how to build powerful defenses, hanging this shit on Saleh and his coaching staff... https://nypost.com/2021/10/26/rex-ryan-rips-robert-saleh-after-jets-embarrassment/"

[southbankbornnbred]

"Yeah, there just hasn't been any co-ordination between Saleh and Ulbrich as DC. Ulbrich spent a brief period working with Saleh at Seattle in 2011. Saleh landed the Jets job on the back of his good work as DC in Frisco, so you'd think THAT's the defensive model the Jets believed they were buying into/recruiting. Yet Saleh took an early decision to be very hands off with the defense, so Ulbrich is calling plays based on his few months in Gotham and his sketchy understanding of what Saleh wants - but with little game-day input from Saleh. It's just not working. Saleh needed to be more hands-on with his DC/defense from Day 1. Get that side of the ball right as a HC and you'd buy yourself a LOT of time while learning the rest of the role. He can quickly learn that lesson and correct his poor judgement on his lack of involvement. Instead, our new defensive-minded HC became the first Jets HC in 26 years to ship 50+ points. And we haven't had a single interception in the first six games. The two of them need to go back to basics and work this out. And don't get me started on the offense...not a single point scored in the first quarter in any of the six games...we've been outscored 44-0 in Q1. It's hard to judge any HC after six games. But they say any new HC gets 34 games to prove themselves (two seasons). Well, Saleh is into game seven next week...and we still look like a team having a nervous breakdown at the moment..."

[Takashi Miike]

"I looked up your DC, Ulbrich. he was in Seattle with Saleh in 2011, I'm not saying he isn't competent but he may have been better getting a vet to ease him through this initial shit I love jack del rio, but he decided in the spring to rejig the secondary and play a zone coverage scheme which relies on our highly rated d-line getting constant pressure on the opposing QB. that hasn't happened, and results have been poor. yesterday he decided to play more man coverage and you could see improvements, though it's slow progress. it may take another year for us :.("

[southbankbornnbred]

"I would still have appointed a gnarled old fucker as Jets head coach. We've always been better when we've had a head coach who has been around the block a bit: Ewbank (Super Bowl winner), Walton & Michaels (Sack Exchange coaches), Parcells and even Rex. A big part of it is that older guys know to avoid the obvious mistakes and also generally have reached a stage where they don't give a shit about New York's aggressive and intrusive media, which always creates pressure on young coaches."

[southbankbornnbred]

"TM - totally agree: there's a real lack of grey hairs on the Jets' coaching staff. The risk with that is that inexperienced guys like Saleh and LaFleur are doomed to repeat all the mistakes of past coaches because, in their respective roles, they have no experience of what works and what doesn't. Incredibly, we've got worse since Gase departed. Now, given how bad Gase was for two years, I'm quite sure that Saleh will end up on a level above TIG. Hopefully, there will be a ""J-curve"" effect while youngsters learn their roles. But Saleh has already made some poor decisions and said some stupid things in post-game analysis, which even he can't believe. He needs to buck his ideas up - and get a little more hands-on and agressive (on defense) than he has been. More experienced guys than him, now in commentary or punditry, have observed that he's started off down the wrong road...it's not too late to correct that...but he has to show a willingness to do it: or he'll suffer the same fate as so many co-ordinators who step up..."
