"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."

Obviously I would love the Vikings to get to the Superbowl, been there 4 (FOUR) times but never won the fucker.

I would LOVE the Lions to get to and win the Super Bowl. Them and/or the Bills.

Indeed Detroit are as are the others in the Black and Blue division except da Bears.
Yeah, the Lions, Vikes and Packers are looking good. The least said about Chicago the better! I feel their pain: that's a great city and it deserves a decent NFL side. It has been a while, though.

I’m not going to talk about the Jets other than to point out that Aaron Rodgers had not completed a pass more than seven yards beyond the line of scrimmage for five straight quarters.
He’s done. Time (and probably “couldn’t give a shit-edness”) has caught up with him. Don’t forget: his pretty much calling his own plays at this point, too. Can’t complete his own plays.
Yet he, and some Jets fans, are talking about him coming back in 2025?!
The guy can’t throw any more. He’s not the reason we’re so utterly shite. But he’s a reflection of it.
Detroit are on fire. Would like to see them get to the Super Bowl.

Well I very much enjoyed that, been a good while since we’ve beat the whiners.
Defence was really good, and if the offence hadn’t made so many dumb decisions we could easily have walked that game.

Not great, but still good enough. Rare off night for Jake Elliott. Rolling nicely since bye week and the Rams next week is our last real journey of the regular season.
Still a little unconvincing and not sure how we will fare against the very best, but loaded with weapons so we always have a chance, and the d has been a very pleasant surprise under fangio.

Oooof, stupid decision by the Commanders there to go for it on 4th & 1 when in FG range (which would have given them the lead) - but fucked it up and naturally the Eagles then drive straight up the other end and score

Damn right!
I hate the whole MAGA shite.
But if there’s a global campaign to improve the Jets so that, one day, we might win a game…then I’m in!

What a weekend for the Giants. Lose. The Toilet Bowl. But win in the Draft race.! Roll on April. And hopefully Cam Ward.?
Go G Men.!
Genuine Q, Shorty: who would win THE Toilet Bowl between the Jets and Giants if they played this season?
It would be possibly the worst game of American football ever played. The NFL might have to stage an intervention in New York and put both sides under special measures! It is a city that, football-wise, has given up!
South. Jets all week. You have a legitimate QB.Everyone knows the Giants need a functioning QB. And next year’s draft ain’t going to be deep with top end quality. So it’s a race to the bottom. But it’s the same as always with regards to the teams in New York. You can stink up the Hudson as much as you want. Just as long as you’re not as bad as the other guy.! And at least the Bills can always take your mind off of it.
Haha! I hear you, Shorty. Although I suspect you have not seen Rodgers much since he returned from his Achilles injury. He has been beyond shit. A 40-year-old who suddenly looks state pension age.
In fairness to him, it's hard to tell whether his age means his quality has deserted him, or if he's yet another victim of a terribly coached side. It might be a bit of both. Either way, the fans were asking him to retire after last night's game.
There's an expectation that Woody Johnson will once again become an overseas ambassador under Trump's administration - possibly back to the UK. If so, he'll again hand over control of the Jets to his brother while he does that job. So, incredibly, we might get even worse. This is all a Kafkaesque nightmare!

Meanwhile, the QB that the Jets should have drafted back in 2018 - and then should have picked up in free agency when he left the Browns/Rams - is still doing some mad shit.
If you haven't seen Baker Mayfield's 4th down pass, holding off Nick Bosa while under pressure to throw, then it's worth a watch.
He'll never be an elite level QB, Baker. But the guy has a pair of bollocks and a "fuck you" attitude. He would have been a perfect fit in New York. Horses for courses, innit?

Also, I looked at the league standings this morning and saw that several sides have worse records than the Jets: The Fish, Raiders, Giants, Jaguars, Browns, Titans.
I can't even begin to imagine how bad those sides must be, because - genuinely - the current Jets are the worst-coached side I have seen since the Rich Kotite era. Like they were the love child of Avram Grant and Glenn Roeder. That bad.

Incredible performance by the Jets so far today.
Rodgers moving freely, throwing accurately and playing for the team.
The o-line physically dominating in the trenches, creating huge gaps for those powerful backs.
Brilliant defensive play-calling by the interim head coach, making a mockery of Saleh’s departure.
Fans totally behind this high-performing, humble, hard working team who would break their own bones for eachoth…oh…hang on…
…nope…the drugs have worn off…the unicorns have faded away…
turns out I got it on too heavy after the Everton game and…yep you guessed it…the Jets are still a devastating shitshow…heading for 3-7 by being a complete clusterfuck…

joe, the steelers had half the stadium, possibly more. it was shocking but maybe the tickets were sold months ago pre draft? steelers are decent, but we made so many errors and kingsbury has a flaw in his play calling where he gives up on the run game against the so called better teams. we're still doing great but that was thrown away today
