West Ham Online

"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."

Been watching since the early 80s, he's the best rookie QB I've seen for any team. I noticed he was different in a press conference before the Bengals game, early in the season, and I've watched every game this season and apart from the Carolina match when he got hurt, he's never look stressed. Watch him in the final minutes of games and he's still smiling, looking like he's over the park with friends (regarding the playoffs, we can beat anyone but we're a year early regarding roster strength and lack of weapons)

I noticed Rivera had interviewed for your job. He's a nice man but he's not what you need. He has questionable evaluation abilities regarding staff hires, poor judgement recruiting players and you should be looking at younger coaches like Johnson or the OC at Texas. Ron and Rex Ryan should be given a wide berth

A few sides gaining momentum at a crucial time - including the Vikes and Washington.

Still hard to look past the Chiefs, Bills or Lions. But the play-offs are shaping up nicely.

That kid Daniels at TM’s mob is a cracking player. He’s got the intangibles that drag victories out of nowhere. They probably won’t win it, but it certainly looks like the Commanders have found their franchise QB.

Watched the Lions game , it was a good watch . As a suffering Jets fan I can sit back and be pretty neutral watching games . Same with the Hammers I guess , just remain neutral and enjoy the game , unless it’s Tottenham. Lions have a fair few injuries though ? 

Lions and the Chiefs are both impressive but no team has a better win streak than the Vikings currently at nine.

Vikes meet the Lions in Detroit next Monday for the Black and Blue division title.

SKOL VIKES!

Impressive win by the Lions. Got to fancy them for the NFC spot in February. 

GO G MEN.

Next season, I want two massive “don’t fuck with us” bookend tackles or guards - or a centre - from the draft, and for the Jets to start running the ball again alongside this kid Travis at QB. A veteran back-up QB in case it doesn’t work out. And go for a QB1 in 2026 if necessary.

But it’s time to move on from Rodgers.

He was a superb QB for many years - one of the best ever. But he’s in severe decline just as his ego has blown the roof off.

I'd love to have seen him play for the 49ers at some point in career.  Obviously not now though!

He took Tom Brady's record as the most sacked QB of all time.

I really hope that Rodgers sees sense and announces his retirement in January. The Jets’ experiment with him has been - as I feared at the time - an unmitigated disaster.

He’s declining in quality (albeit from a high benchmark at Green Bay), injury prone and - more than anything else - a terrible distraction and circus for the club.

He’s been the graveyard of two head coaches, a general manager and his mate at OC. It’s time this whole shitshow ended.

Of course others are also to blame for the continued debacle in New York. None more than Woody Johnson. But just at the tipping point when Joe Douglas and Rob Saleh could have gone either way (in terms of success with the Jets: they had briefly built a decent defense, at least), Johnson insisted on going all in on Rodgers - and it brought the whole house down (not enough cap space or draft picks to build an o-line, took Saleh’s attention away from the defense etc).

I won’t miss him at all.

I am beginning to hope.
We need to beat the Jets and the Chiefs to do us a favour.
Having said that it would be travesty if we make the play-offs and Joe burrow doesn't.
I wonder what Aaron Rogers.Madden score will be next time around?

it's the last game on sunday night/monday morning (1.15am)

Lions v Vikes is going to be one hell of a game, just hope we turn up?

South. I’m beyond nuts. First the bending over for Liverpool. Then this.! These are the types of days where you question your own logic in following organise sports. Is it for fun. Loyalty. Or the perverse feeling of being alive. Only when you’re team are only making you miserable.? “Pain is so close too pleasure.” Doesn’t even start to cover it.

Either way. There couldn’t have been a couple of games that have summed up 2024 than West Ham and the New York Giants yesterday. Top too bottom. What a mess. And what a joke.!

GO G MEN.

Yup. Can’t even fucking tank properly. You just know this utterly pointless benefitless win will cost a quarterback.
