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."

[Takashi Miike]

"I know this bills D is very good but the texans co-coordinator is going have to go to the air, they're not running on this line"

[crystal falace]

"Dont think thats on the QB, receiver should be able to get his feet down in bounds there"

[crystal falace]

"Think he's down before the ball comes out there, should overturn this"

[Takashi Miike]

....and then he does that :.)

[Takashi Miike]

"Allen's got such a great arm, he was the stand out in last year's combine"

[crystal falace]

"Texans just are nkt the same team without will fuller who's inactive, they're a very average offence without him and the bills are a very good defence."

[Hermit Road]

I've got the Texans at -6.5 Just put more on them to win after BuFfalo scored. Dont think the Bill's will score much more.

[crystal falace]

"See i think the saints game will likely be the worst as im expecting the saints to completely blow then out 14-20 point win I've bet the bills and seahawks to win outright, saints -4.5 and pats titans under 48.5 points Couldnt bring myself to bet against the pats but i think they're going to struggle if they dont force turnovers"

[zebthecat]

Quite some start from the Bills. Blimey

[Takashi Miike]

"he just got rid of a terrible president (who was still the GM), who'd alienated players (trent williams just one who hated the cսnt), numerous coaches, made a hired GM's (scott mcloughhan's) working life impossible by putting out stories about his drink problem, hired fitness trainers that oversaw record numbers of injuries that would even shame west ham's worst medical teams and a continual decline in fan attendance by the home supporters, where most weekends, fed ex field resembled an away fixture. no, snyder has just hired two very good proven coaches, he's going to take his time with the new GM decision and other hires. its taken him twenty years to finally start making good decisions but at least the penny seems to have finally dropped, so id look elsewhere for worst run franchises"

"Some good match-ups in the Wild Card games this weekend. Vikes-Saints probably the pick of the ties, but all four games look decent. Texans, Patsies, Saints, Seahawks probably favourites in each tie, but it rarely works out that way across all four games. As for Black Monday, all coaching hires seem to be on hold pending the outcome of Jerry Jones' latest brainfart over Jason Garrett. If Garrett gets the bullet, as expected, then Mike McCarthy will have three potential suitors (Browns, Giants and the Cowgirls) and his $$$ value will soar. He'll also get to pick and choose the system and coaching set-up he walks into. McCarthy should, of course, be the Jets' head coach already. But our co-owners had a mental breakdown and hired Adam Gase last season instead. Looks like Marv Lewis could also be back in a head coaching position soon, too. Fuck knows what's going on in Washington - TM will know more. But they seem to be competing with the Jets for worst-run franchise. Latest development there is that the owner seems to have sacked the president. He'd already sacked the head coach. He's now running out of people to sack, so expect him to send himself a P45, just for fun, soon."

"del rio, the skins new DC. snyder on fire"

[Takashi Miike]

"I think o'connell's staying at OC, he did well in his first season calling plays. the other side of the ball is most important and I think he'll be bringing his own men with him. trent made it clear a couple of months ago that he had a big problem with allen, so could be back"

[crystal falace]

"Rivera should improve the defence instantly, although i think he got binned because Carolina's defence was so terrible this year. The OC hire will be crucial for Haskins as with Guice (if he can stay healthy) and terry mclaughlin they have some good building block pieces. Maybe even get Trent Williams back at left tackle now which would be huge"

[Takashi Miike]

rivera's agreed a five year deal. snyder's made more good decisions in two days than the rest of his twenty years. just get the right GM and we can finally start improving

[Takashi Miike]

"no, cough. I think we've drafted a player with more potential, and with the right head coach should progress well next year. he showed good signs, admittedly against crap defences, late in the season. I don't think cousins is a bad player for you, but I think your strength is run first and relying on cook (when fit), as I think he's your biggest weapon"

[Far Cough]

"Mike, do you want Cousins?"

[Takashi Miike]

"that Cleveland team looks a tough one to manage, far too many big egos. watched a video with the odd couple (broussard & parker) talking about dallas and prescott allegedly wanting $40m a season. he's nowhere near worth that, he's a bit better than cousins but nowhere near elite"

[zebthecat]

"I am guessing the Fins OC and O-Line coach are being fired for their collective failure to get any sort of run game going. It doesn't help that there best RB got traded away, their next RB copped a ban for recreational drugs and the three other guys they tried got nowhere. Any team that has 37 year QB (who was not fast when he was young) as their leading rusher has got big problems. Shame as they did one of my favourite offensive plays of the season."

[crystal falace]

"could well be 3/4 of the NFC (L)East looking for a new head coach at the same time assuming Garrett is gone. Interesting i saw Kitchens being fired means he now goes down as the coach with the highest win percentage in Cleveland Browns History (since they were reformed after their team ran to Baltimore) Also very surprising to see the Dolphins fire their OC after what could only be described as a year where they hugely overachieved, wouldnt be surprised if he came back to the Pats now if McDaniels is getting head coaching interviews again"

[Takashi Miike]

"looks like dallas will also be hiring soon, the problems look worse there with jones & jones jr in complete control"

[Grumpster]

"I think they should have gone for David Moyes, as he's clearly happy working for cunts ;o)"

[Takashi Miike]

"doug williams, probably should be first in the queue"

[Takashi Miike]

"crystal, if your ever watched an interview with him you'd soon realise that we're stuck with him for a long time so him finally realising bruce allen was clueless is at least a start. I'm just not confident they'll get his replacement right but as you said, rivera may have said he couldn't work with allen so that's why he's gone. the old ohio state coach, meyer, was at a recent game and also alex smith is well thought of by everyone at the club, so maybe they're two candidates"

[crystal falace]

Just saying Dan Snyder may be very close to the last owner in the league id want to be working under. in terms of actual talent they may be a pretty good prospect if Haskins can take a big step forward next offseason. Have a good young running back a very good young receiver and a half decent defence which may be getting the best defensive draft prospect in a generation.
