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."

[IsaacHock]

"South, would be interested to hear your perspective on the Gase hire - What did the Jets see during the Miami era that suggested he would be a good hire?"

[southbankbornnbred]

"I wouldn't mind, he's also a humourless twonk. You'd think with a name like that he'd be a laugh or even a little self-deprecating. But no."

southbankbornnbred 11:03 Mon Sep 28 Regardless of anything else Woody Johnson is a great name.

[southbankbornnbred]

"Def - it's all happening again at the Jets, isn't it?! We've been used to this shite for decades now. Absolutely hopeless leadership inside that franchise - especially now that the (superb) team captain, Adams, saw sense and got the hell out of there over the summer. Too many similarities with West Ham: maybe that's why we're drawn to them! Zeb. It's a long story trying to expain the clusterfuck that is the Jets' long-term ownership, GM situation (present guy exempt because he's still finding his feet), head coaching situation and roster. But if I could sum it up with one fact, it would be this: The Jets' owner, Woody Johnson, is currently Donald Trump's ambassador to the UK. To be honest, while that's not got little to do with American football, it says everything you need to know about the family which runs the Jets. And, as we all know from the grim reality of West Ham, it comes from the top down. Now that the non-Skins Skins from Skinland, and the Borwns, have begun to get their act into gear on the admin/board side of their granchises, the Jets have a good argument for being the worst-run franchise in the NFL. Again! Such a shame, because Sam Darnold's raw talent at QB is there for all to see. But shite owner = shite GMs = shite HC = shite OC = shite QB coach = no chance of Darnold developing his potential any time soon. Think Sullivan - see Johnson."

"Dalvin Cook is still a fantasy beast though Cough. The Jets are a complete mess, I have not followed them closely enough to know why although it appears to be a recruitment clusterfuck in just about every department if the defence is porous and the offence can't score. The Falcons are a mess but at least Matt Ryan and their receiving corps can still rack up the TDs at will."

First time since 2014 that the browns have had a winning record!

[Takashi Miike]

"not sure if rivera's distracted with his treatment but two games running now he hasn't used time outs in the last quarter. not that it mattered much, but he could at least appear to be trying to the end. haskins continues to look cumbersome & indecisive, but he probably deserves a couple more games. worryingly his down the field vision looks poor and I'm not sure how much that can improve in the short term. it may be harsh but ron may be forced in to a change if performances don't improve"

[Far Cough]

Vikings are shit as well Cunts

[defjam]

SBBB - On the BBC NFL show last week they said the Jets were by far the worst team in the NFL. Pretty sure Mark Chapman said his granny could score against us! GO JETS!

[southbankbornnbred]

"Might have a cheeky bet on the Jets to go 0-16 or 1-15 this season. Worst roster of any side in the NFL - by a street mile. Absolutely shite squad picked by absolutely shite head coach, (past) GMs, and owners. It feels very much like West Ham! If I were Darnold, who is a talented kid (he's in his third year, but he joined us a year earlier than most QBs enter the league), then I would be seeking to move away from the toxic Jets unless they back him with some talent, a decent head coach (Gase is beyond a joke) and a decent quarterbacks coach. Darnold, for all of his obvious talent, has not progressed at all in the past 12 months. Which, when you're still learning, does not bode well. He's not learning because he has absolutely nobody around him to team him well. He will sink, with the Jets, if he stays - unless Gase is sacked and the replacements include a first-class offensive mind (and one used to coaching QBs). In the meantime, we're royally fucked for yet another year. But, as with West Ham, I can't see anything fundamental changing at the Jets until the ownership either changes - or they swallow their pride and give a proper head coach and GM the power and assets with which to build something solid. Rudderless, gutless, clueless franchise at the moment. It all feels like the Rich Kotite-era again! Definitely get your money on Gase to be the first HC out the door this season. Even he is running out of excuses (and he has many excuses) - at some point he simply has to accept that he is not a head coach. The cheap option (which will no doubt be the one chosen by our cheapskate owners) will be to appoint DC Gregg Williams as HC whenever Gase goes. That wouldn't be so bad as an interim appointment. Zero confidence that any of this will happen when it should: tomorrow!"

I would have thought that's a quiet weekend in Detroit

[ironsofcanada]

"Off topic But watching the Cardinals Lions on the Detroit Fox affiliate. News break - Two murders yesterday, no big deal. Bit surreal."

[Nutsin]

"Grumps, we beat two bad teams with our back ups. So two good wins on the road. Philly then Miami up next, got a good chance if being 4-1, we have 3 weeks to get healthy, Jimmy G, Kittle, Mostert, Deebo and Sherman should all be back for the Rams game. Let's hope we don't get any more significant injuries we've already had more than our fair share. Once healthy we will still be the best in the west...Difference is our offense will be what wins us games this year as opposed to our dominant D."

Grumpster 12:43 Mon Sep 28 I don't understand a word of your post. Another world to me but there are a lot of things I don't get at all...

[Mr. Burns]

"I had a tenner on Derrick Henry, Nick Chubb and James Connor all to score touchdowns. Was boosted to 11/2. Better than nothing."

[Grumpster]

"In running at 12/1 when the lions had the ball Mr B, so well happy obviously the prick!!! Did do PP's boost on Evans to get 2 TD's at 11s though. Annoyed I only done a fiver on it, as already in the bag."

[Joe C]

Sat here still fuming at Metcalf for that display of utter arrogance

[zebthecat]

Just watching the Fantasy scores. I have the Colts defence this week; thank you Jets.

[Mr. Burns]

Did you do the PP price boost Grumps?

[ironsofcanada]

Grumpster 11:14 Sun Sep 27 It is West Ham-like. I started McKinnon and it began great but apparently he picked up a rib injury and did nothing in the second half.

[IsaacHock]

"Given that I have money on the Seahawks and Metcalf in my fantasy team I hope you'll permit the following, just this once... Metcalf you utter cսnt."

[Grumpster]

"Got a tenner on metcalfe for the next td in the seahawks game, cսnt has just lost me some decent dough with that absolute cluster fuck."

[Mr. Burns]

Nutsin 11:09 Sun Sep 27 Re: NFL (since 2016) Ha ha thought you'd turn up. Nowhere to be seen when you lost to the cards though you utter cocknose.

[crystal falace]

The falcons are doing it again! They were 16 points up with 5 minutes left. They're now trailing by 4 with 90 seconds to go
