    Even Colt McCoy is making the Cowboys defence look amateur.

    4/8, 111 yards and 1 TD.

    I'm still not sure whether or not we should keep Bradford on. He can look good, like on that drive but can also look horrendous. Though there is the argument that Chip was playing him wrong, as he was with the entire offense.

    Indeed.

    My early bet has been fucked over by the Jags (they've looked so damn good in the past month and a half) and the Ravens who seem to have not bothered at all in the second half.

    £5 on Bills +3/Broncos -10/Cardinals -6.5/Rams -3.5/Chiefs -7.5.

    Minus for the late games

    It's a shame that the Steelers have made the playoffs but the Bills were always going to fuck over the Jets.

    Fantastic bottle job from the Jets. Shame it had to be Fitzpatrick that chucked it away though.

    Steelers get the Bengals or the Broncos in the playoffs. Should be a pretty interesting game either way. Two teams potentially starting backup QB's trying to keep up with Big Ben & company. Pretty likely to be a shootout, like most Pittsburgh games.

    If the Broncos win, yes.

    If the Broncos lose then they will play the Steelers.

    Whoever the Bengals get they will lose though.

    Oh well. There goes my chance of seeing the Eagles next year.

    Gurley v Beckham on English soil isn't bad though.

    Oh and speaking of the Chargers:

    http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...eing-put-on-ir

    So they fine Weddle for wanting to watch his daughter perform at halftime, refuse to fly him to Denver and then put him on IR despite him being able to practice.

    Well played scumbags.

    I haven't really followed it today, but having just seen a random play, why are the Bengals throwing a lateral when going to ground would ice the game? Granted it was relatively risk free as the guy was about 2 yards away, but still seems unnecessary unless I've missed something.

    Because Rey Maualuga (think it was him) is an idiot. Would've been hilarious if he'd chucked it straight to a Raven & they'd taken it all the way to the end zone.

    Might have to give the international series games a look next season. Could end up being three good games.

    Whereabouts are you sitting? Went to Wembley a couple of years ago & had a decent view, but I can't remember how far back I was.

    I've renewed the same seats from Wembley, which are behind one of the end zones, near the back of the lower section and pretty much slap bang in the middle (by which I mean right in the middle of the goal posts). I imagine it's similar for Twickenham but I didn't book them myself. Was a great view, obviously better when the action was down my end but not bad at the other end.

    DeJuan Harris has looked pretty lively the last two weeks.

    Pretty sure we had cheap tickets near the middle of the field, but I'm not sure there are many of those left anymore.

    The Chiefs raiders game is a bit mental.

    Interception / turnover heavy.

    Both Baldwin and Wilson are setting season records, which is remarkable considering they both have only really been playing for the last 7 weeks.

    Looks like I'll be going to whoever the Skins play at Wembley because my brother-in-law is a big fan.

    More importantly the plan is do the Bermondsey Beer Mile.

    This Denver game sounds rancid.

    Denver has given up five turnovers & scored 7pts, and they're still winning

    San Diego are a bad team.

    EDIT: Time for Peyton

    Browns have officially fired Pettine and Farmer.

    Colts have let Pagano go (some sources are saying now, some say Monday) too because of his relationship with Grigson:

    http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-...ent-richardson

    Apparently he was going to be fired if he lost the wildcard game or divisional game last year.

    41 wins 23 losses (three 11-5 seasons) in regular season and 3-3 in the post season.

    Irsay is a shambles and the players want Pagano to stay.

    8 wins this season but he only had Luck for 7 games (and he was dealing with injuries for most of those) and had to play FIVE different QB's this season.

    If no one takes him as a head coach (they'd be stupid not to), I hope Ozzie brings him back to the Ravens.

    Yeah, Pagano will have been very harshly treated if he's fired. This season was one to write off as a bizarre anomaly, rather than deciding to sack a good coach because they didn't make the playoffs with a crippled QB.

    Broncos look pretty handy with Manning back in.

    Surely you'd fire the GM there? Give the coach another season with healthier players and more importantly, Luck. Given all their injuries an 8-8 season isn't all too bad. Looking at the Ravens should tell you that. They've had it a little worse than the Colts and struggled to a 5-11. A little perspective needed I think.

    Madness sacking really but Irsay believed they had their window and now it looks to be shut. Plus he's a fruitcake (Irsay).

    It's because we have a screwed on owner and GM.

    They know that this season was an anomaly and we'll be back stronger.

    Some teams are run well and some aren't, clearly the Colts aren't if they were willing to fire Pagano last year if he didn't win 2 play off games (after three back to back 11-5 seasons).

    I'm surprised that Irsay hasn't done a Jerry Jones yet and named himself GM.

    In which case I'll buy him a plane ticket to Philadelphia.
    I mean they were still well in with a chance of making the play-offs up to last week, with an outside chance this week. Still like you say, not very well run.

    At the end of the day there was friction between Pagano and Grigson, Irsay had to choose and he either thinks Grigson is the reason for their success, thinks he is more valuable or he just likes him more.

    Grigson is the one who went crying to the NFL in regards to deflategate so that's probably why Irsay likes him.

    Cam Newton's really rather a dick. The smug look on his face when he scores or runs for a first down, the way he celebrates a TD for about a thousand years, all the running up and down the sideline waving & cheerleading, and now finding out that he's named his kid Chosen.

    He's a bloody good QB though.

    Feel for Osweiler a bit. They've obviously been waiting for an excuse to chuck Manning back in.

    Given that you'd expect the Titans to draft a RB and the Browns after Johnny Football fucked up yet again, will take a QB, there could still be something tasty available for your lot. Considering you have a good team anyway when they are all fit, next year should be a good one.

    Our winning today has changed us from maybe having pick 10 to pick 13. That combined with the Twickenham game has me annoyed that we turned up today. However, we can't really do that worse than last year. See if we can find a quality WR in there. If not, strengthen that pass defence the fuck up!

    Speaking of poorly run teams, come on down the 49ers.

    Shuffled Jim Harbaugh out as he would argue with the owners/GM so they bring in a yes man who, surprise surprise, does fuck all and then show him the door.

    Absolutely no way the Titans use the number 1 pick on a running back unless they see Derrick Henry as the messiah. Then again, he's from the BAMA 'system' so there's the Trent Richardson risk there. The way the RB situation is they could surely trade down a bit and grab him later (or Zeke Elliott). If it goes tits up then Fournette, McCaffrey etc. are likely to fancy popping out next year.

    The more interesting thing is the fact that the Browns surely will want to use the opportunity to grab a top rated QB. Jared Goff, Paxton Miller and particularly Conor Cook (MSU) must be feeling a little exposed to that particular ship even if none are really at this point in time really being billed as #2 pick warranted. It became pretty clear this season that there really isn't a superstar QB coming out like a Luck / Newton / / Bradford of the past. I'm not convinced it's quite 2013 bad, but it's like last year in that it'll go down to club preference. I bet lynch is fucked off the Titans took Marriota last year otherwise he'd feel pretty good about his chances of ending up sticking about in Tennessee. That being said, the Browns need a receiver too, given Gordon will probably decide to go on a bender with Manziel. I love all the draft prep stuff too, so the next few months are going to be pretty decent. May - September is just a slog though.

    The Titans will go for a tackle at the top spot.

    Mariota missed 4 games due to injuries this year and could have missed more, you don't want that for your franchise QB. They will get him some protection.

    So Jerrell Freeman has 2 TD's in his career.

    His first was the very first TD the Colts scored under Chuck Pagano in the regular season. His second? The very last TD the Colts scored under Chuck Pagano.

    A fair way of him leaving given what he's done for the Giants over his 12 years. Interested to see who we get in now though I hope McAdoo and Spags get kept on as coordinators.

    Pagano's survived. Common sense prevails in Indy.
