The NFL Thread

[Gray Fox]

Did you not see them destroy San Francisco yesterday? How many points have the Saints scored this week?

Case closed.


It's an offence that succeeds in spite, and a defence that succeeds because. Even the most blinkered of fans should see that the o-line is a load of sweaty balls.

Doug Baldwin's a king amongst men at the moment though

At least I'm not the only one who thinks it. I mean, Wilson is a good QB, but I wouldn't put him in that top bracket. They don't exactly have great weapons for him to throw to either. Baldwin is going strong but other than that? Not much.

Oh and hey look there's Coby Fleener.

[Gray Fox]

Coleman has 2 TDs already and my fantasy team is in trouble unless Cooks and Jones start getting points.

[Dan]

We're a bad defence. I don't know if anybody has noticed yet, but it's true.

[Giggles]

Twat.

[elth]

If you get concussed in your second game back from a concussion related retirement, you're probably better off binning it.

[Giggles]

If you get concussed in your second game back from a concussion related retirement, you're probably better off binning it.

When you expect to be an absolute hero and end up a backup Guard you're probably better off binning it.

[Gray Fox]

We're a bad defence. I don't know if anybody has noticed yet, but it's true.

I watched live and it was really, really bad. It's more a case of having to cobble a team together from anything you can find, But when Matt Ryan can pick you apart with ease, even toying with the defence sometimes, you're in trouble. All of that was without Julio doing anything.

[Gray Fox]

JJ Watt is done for the season by the sounds of it.

[elth]

Even as a Colts fan that sucks.

[Browning]

Josh Gordon has checked into rehab and there is no timetable for his return.

[Gray Fox]

Just cut him for fucks sake.

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000711886/article/browns-wideout-josh-gordon-entering-rehab-facility

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fucking hell.

[Gray Fox]

Pryor is about the last Browns player standing. He'll have to be the kicker soon...

[Dan]

GODDAMMIT :moop:

Thanks for wasting a roster spot for four weeks Josh.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

DOOOOOOOOM(ervil) will make play in his first game of the season on Sunday.

Adding our best pass rusher to an already awesome rush defence is going to be madness.

[Gray Fox]

GODDAMMIT :moop:

Thanks for wasting a roster spot for four weeks Josh.

Keep him, I'm sure he'll turn things around.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I did a draft kings just on this fucking match. Picked both Bengal RBs because there's fuck all for Miami.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I hope they cut to some fat guys in the crowd wearing a Dolphins colour rush uni. They'd look exactly like a pumpkin.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Oh and lol at Maxwell being demoted in the fourth game.

Former WR who was a fifth rounded has replaced him.

[Gray Fox]

It's confusing me that the Bengals are at home, but not the team wearing orange.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Surprised that Stills didn't drop that.

[Gray Fox]

God damn it, Bengals...

[Dan]

Have they tried that play every game?

[Gray Fox]

If that could be Hill out the game, it would help me greatly.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

AJ is so good.

Also I still maintain that Bernard is so much better than Hill. He can run, block and catch all really well. His block for that pass play was brilliant.

[Gray Fox]

AJ Green is #2 WR in the league for me. He literally has everything.

Imagine if they had a quality QB behind him.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Lady Gaga has been given the halftime show at the Superb Owl. Lol.

[Gray Fox]

I suppose no one big is left really.

[wullie]

She's got enough good stuff to fill 10 minutes, happy enough with that.

[Browning]

Josh Gordon is about to be cut by the Browns.

Sammy Watkins is now on IR.

[Foe]

Just a reminder gents that there's 4 games on tomorrow. The Wembley game (colts jags) is on bbc from about 1.30pm.

Is gus Bradley going to be hit by the London curse? His jags seem to be better than previous years but that counts for nothing if you're 0 and 4 and on en route to a top 5 draft pick for the third consecutive year.

Could be interceptions galore tomorrow.

[Browning]

Going to be there and it's going to be awesome. Shame I have one player from each team in my Fantasy line up so I won't be supporting either team majorly, just cheering on Robinson and Gore. :cool:

[Giggles]

Nice one, never realised it was on early. Had just presumed it'd be a 6pm on both BBC and Sky.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Nice one, never realised it was on early. Had just presumed it'd be a 6pm on both BBC and Sky.

Indeed.

[Giggles]

[Gray Fox]

I've watched that back 3 or 4 times and I don't believe what my eyes are telling me.

[wullie]

He's airborne for about two seconds before the ball even reaches him, sweet Jesus.

[Ian]

Yeah it looks like that should be one where he's totally mistimed his jump like when I control a DB on Madden and sprawls over the floor while the guy moonwalks into the endzone with the ball.

[Giggles]

The end of Tennessee Georgia sounds absolutely mental.


Check out these last five possessions:

-Tennessee takes down Georgia quarterback Jacob Eason in in his own end zone to take the lead with 2:56 left in the game. 28-24 Tennessee.

-Jacob Eason throws an interception to Malik Foreman with 2:10 left in the game. 28-24 Tennessee.

-Tennessee goes three-and-out…. 1:07 left in the game. 28-24 Tennessee.

-Eason takes Georgia down the field to take the lead back. Four plays, 81 yards, 57 seconds. Unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on the Bulldogs places the ball at the 20-yard line for the ensuing kick off. 31-28 Georgia.

-After a short kick, Micah Abernathy returns the ball to the Georgia 40. Hail Mary pass from Joshua Dobbs to Jauan Jennings completed…. 43-yard touchdown pass. Game Tennessee. 34-31 Tennessee.

http://sports.yahoo.com/news/tennessee-hails-mary-for-another-comeback-win-233755834.html

[Browning]

That first play there doesn't make any sense to me. How did they "take the lead" by 4 points off a safety? Also Tennessee would have then got the ball? I'm guessing college has different rules.

[Ian]

You can recover a safety in the same way you can a kickoff, maybe they did something like that. And I assume they've just worded the bit about the scores badly.

[Gray Fox]

Click and watch the highlights. It doesn't say anything about a safety because there wasn't one. Forced fumbled recovered in the end zone, going from 21-24 to leading 28-24.

[Foe]

Tennessee also were 17-0 down, including losing a fumble as the receiver was prancing towards the end zone (on the one yard line) which the defence recovered in the end zone.

The game before that, Texas v Oklahoma State was pretty good too because it was two pretty good offences versus two absolutely horrible defences. Texas in particular must have had a sweepstake on who could miss the most tackles in the game.

NCAA football is :cool: It's pretty cool seeing obvious superstars in amongst joe bloggs who's going to sell car insurance next year.

Lamar Jackson and Leonard Fournette being pretty good examples. Capable of making most opposition players look very silly.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

God I've missed Carlson.

[Gray Fox]

And now for Mahows take on the anthem.

[Giggles]

Impressive.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It's pretty damn good tbf.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Did she just say 'I can cock'?

[Giggles]

The fuck is going on with the commentary?

[Gray Fox]

I see her feeling up his arm/shoulder. Unnecessary roughness!

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Ngakoue :cool:

[Gray Fox]

God damn it Robinson.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

He's so good at those double moves in the end zone.

He absolutely roasted Shareece Wright with one for his first TD against us last week.

[Foe]

Wide open. WIDE OPEN. :mad:

[Giggles]

A struggling Luck is a joy.

[Gray Fox]

The Colts look damn awful. Both sides of the ball.

[Giggles]

The Colts look damn awful. Both sides of the ball.

They're just lucky the Jags are a complete shitshow. I really had expected them to be better this season.

[Giggles]

Taunting for spinning the ball? Fuck the NFL.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Taunting for spinning the ball? Fuck the NFL.
If it's in front of an opponent.

It's such bollocks, you can hardly do anything to celebrate near someone.

He'd get ejected if he does something similar too.

[Shindig]

I'm reminded why I don't like watching this live.

[Foe]

The Wembley games seem to be fairly consistantly pretty poor.

This colts offence is hopeless. The defence is also shit. The Texans might manage to shit their way to the division even without jj watt.

[Giggles]

I had been wondering whether to switch straight to the golf now or wait this one out but they're making it a fairly easy decision.

[Gray Fox]

I'm convinced some of the Colts defence have money on themselves losing by this point.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Christ this hockey player is hot and pretty damn knowledgeable.

[Gray Fox]

Christ this hockey player is hot and pretty damn knowledgeable.

The halftime stuff suddenly got interesting there.

[Gray Fox]

The beast!

[Gray Fox]

Twitter sez the Ravens may even deactivate Forsett today.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Twitter sez the Ravens may even deactivate Forsett today.
Wouldn't be surprised.

I'm stunned that Buck Allen has been a healthy scratch for 3 weeks.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Yep, club has Forssett down as inactive.

[Giggles]

What's that about?

[Gray Fox]

He's been shit, so they're giving the younger guys their chance.

[Giggles]

He's been shit, so they're giving the younger guys their chance.

Deactivating altogether is a bit strong.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Deactivating altogether is a bit strong.
We've only gone wth 2 backs in all of our games thus far. Not entirely sure why though.

I'd have left him active as he's still been our best pass blocking RB.

[Gray Fox]

Probably trying to send a message to the other guys waiting. Perform or else.

[Gray Fox]

Allen Robinson has been open on every single play. He deserves more than this team.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It's Dixon's role now anyway unless West or Allen go bonkers tonight.

[Gray Fox]

And there's the game. Glad it wasn't the other Allen.

[Gray Fox]

Or not... how do you leave someone that open in an obvious passing play?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Oh Jalen.

[Giggles]

Ugh, I didn't know this was the first Sky game.

[Gray Fox]

Rawls apparently ruled out until November.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Never change Buffalo.

Edit: Lol.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It will be a good game.

I'm gutted that it's not the later game, I cant say no to Redzone during the early ones.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That was stunning by Graham.

He might actually be back.

[Foe]

The Browns are going to get demolished, again.

Who's the top rated QB next year. He might as well start perusing houses in Cleveland.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

The Browns are going to get demolished, again.

Who's the top rated QB next year. He might as well start perusing houses in Cleveland.
Sounds like there is no definitive answer with 3/4 battling it out to be declared the number 1.

[Giggles]

The Browns are getting to the stage where the #1 QB might pull an Eli anyway.

[Dan]

Guess which tight end I'm up against this week :moop:

Washington are going to run wild on the Browns.

[Dan]

Carolina are playing for an early draft pick this season. Matt Ryan is competing against Cousins to see who can destroy the shit defence they're playing this week the most.

Bills are gonna do the Patriots as well.

[Giggles]

The Browns :cool:

[Gray Fox]

Browns don't need a QB, they only need Pryor!

[Foe]

Sounds like there is no definitive answer with 3/4 battling it out to be declared the number 1.

Brad kaaya (Miami)
Baker mayfield (Oklahoma)
Chad kelly (ole miss)

Assume Deshaun Watson and Lamar Jackson aren't eligible.

Am I close?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I've heard Watson is in the discussion too as most believe hell declare.

Tanner McEvoy is a great name.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Oh and you forgot Kizer.

[Foe]

How long until the Bears realise Brian fucking hoyer is a better option than jay cutler?

[Foe]

Oh and you forgot Kizer.

Notre dame are wank. He's going to get fucked by being on a shit team.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Shareece Wright needs to be benched. He's been fisted thus far this year.

[Foe]

Julio Jones really is fucking brilliant. Him and AJ Green coming out the same draft is mental.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Shareece Wright has had 5 TDs scored against him thus far.

Two already today.

[Dan]

Please don't let Rex Ryan win. He'll never fucking shut up about it.

DeMarco Murray is having a fantastic season so far. Another 2 TDs already this week, I believe.

Newton getting shown up as a one season wonder no better than RG3 this year :harold:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Juice <3

Also, Hurst who is starting for Stanley is getting abused by Khalil Mack.

[Giggles]

That was woeful from Stafford.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Stafford :D

[Dan]

Bet the Panthers wish they'd paid Josh Norman right now.

[Giggles]

The Bears seem to wear these throwbacks every week.

[Dan]

Oh Cleveland...

[Dan]

This Patriots game is awful.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Will Fuller :drool:

[Dan]

Cam is getting the shit kicked out of him the last few weeks. Pretty much everything has gone backwards on both sides of the ball for them.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Why did we accept that penalty?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Jesus, Stafford with another mongo interception.

[Dan]

Anderson > Newton.

Fitz has another two INTs today. So far...

[Dan]

Fucking hell Julio has all the points today.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

37 away from holding the record for Julio.

Christ.

[Dan]

Fuck that, Steve Smith just dragged his body 52 yards. That's 364 in Julio Jones yards.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Lol, Fitz fumbles and a Jets player picks it up and runs it 40 odd yards for a TD.

[Dan]

Talk about FitzMagic :D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Our defence is amazing.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

We're fucking winning the Superbowl bitches.

[Dan]

All that talk about West in the preseason & they decided to play Forsett instead. Looks like they've realised that was a mistake. Hopefully he'll get a run at it for a few weeks at least.

[Giggles]

We're fucking winning the Superbowl bitches.

I don't think there's ever been a worse looking 4-0 team.

10-6, wildcard exit.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

All that talk about West in the preseason & they decided to play Forsett instead. Looks like they've realised that was a mistake. Hopefully he'll get a run at it for a few weeks at least.
It's Dixon's job when he comes back next week but West has earned a nice split for himself. He might even get more carries next week.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Shit, I could probably intercept Fitz.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I don't think there's ever been a worse looking 4-0 team.

10-6, wildcard exit.
It's fucking glorious :drool:

Our defence, bar Shareece Wright who is a knob, is brilliant.

[Dan]

Is Amari Cooper actually playing in this game? I literally haven't heard his name once.

Fitzpatrick is really trying to get Geno a starting job.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Winston, lol.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Is Amari Cooper actually playing in this game? I literally haven't heard his name once.

Fitzpatrick is really trying to get Geno a starting job.
He's got a couple of catches but Jimmy Smith has locked him up.

[Dan]

That's why Tampa should run more.

[Giggles]

Did I say 4-0?*

(*though they probably still will be)

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Kendrick Lewis and Shareece Wright. Fucking dickheads can't cover for shit.

Set up for another Tucker winner though.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Terrence West you beautiful bastard.

I had forgotten what a running game looked like.

[Dan]

These lateral plays are universally awful in the NFL :D

Why are Baltimore leaving Oakland's best WR uncovered? That Cooper scrub doesn't need any attention.

Also, how the fuck have Atlanta let the Panthers back into the game?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

These lateral plays are universally awful in the NFL :D

Why are Baltimore leaving Oakland's best WR uncovered? That Cooper scrub doesn't need any attention.

Shareece Wright and Kendrick Lewis would give up catches to a blind, one legged midget.

[Dan]

Also, how the fuck have Atlanta let the Panthers back into the game?

Nevermind.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Ffs.

[Browning]

Ravens. :D

They talk non-stop about how Tucker was making kicks from 65 yards with ease and then say "You can't kick it from 68". Should have fucking tried.

[Dan]

The throws at the end from Flacco were Bortles-esque.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I wanted him to try, he'd have nailed it.

The Chris Moore drop on first or second down killed it. Third down and had Flacco looked right wed have gotten at least 6 yards from Juice Check who was free for the pass.

[Giggles]

Reckon he would have hit the 68 too.

[Dan]

Jameis looks like shit when he runs. :D

[Dan]

Speaking of looking like shit, what's happened to the Cards? Even the defence is falling apart now.

[Dan]

Can we take predictions on the QB that throws the most picks this season?

Fitzpatrick & Winston have to be the favourites, but you can never rule out defending champion Blake Bortles. Anyone else people see challenging the big three?

---

For reference, last year Bortles finished with 18. After three weeks Fitzpatrick had 7 while Bortles & Winston were both at 6. That's now 9, 6 & 8 respectively.

Looks like at least one person could be breaking 20 this year.

[Giggles]

Palmer could have a few really high games and put him up there.

[Gray Fox]

8 picks in 2 games is hard to top. But he can try.

[Dan]

Palmer could have a few really high games and put him up there.

He's the dark horse for sure. Currently part of a big group with 4, behind Newton & Tannehill, who is also a good outside bet.

[Browning]

Lynch making his debut.

[Dan]

Siemian injured, Lynch is in.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Big T's arm was spazzing out on the ground.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That was a brilliant interception.

Palmer could have put a bit more on it but the defender made a great play.

[Dan]

Palmer could have a few really high games and put him up there.

There's one...

[Gray Fox]

Why is David Johnson sat down whenever the Cards are near the end zone?

[Dan]

Because Bruce Arians doesn't like winning. Or my fantasy team.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Williams refusing to go out of bounds again :D

[Dan]

That's harsh on Melvin Gordon to not give him the score after that hit. At least he got it next time though.

Dez will probably be having a go at Williams again on the sidelines.

[Dan]

I feel like I've heard Chris Canty's name on bad plays at least once every week so far.

---

That Winston sack with him wobbling about with Broncos at his feet was hilarious.

[Ian]

Lynch has looked alright so far.

[Pleb]

Lightning delay in Tampa again :baz:

[Dan]

Cardinals v Panthers is going to be a game for the first overall pick this year.

[Dan]

Nice of the Rams to try to keep things interesting with all those penalties.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

They just want to get another turnover.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Lol at Benjamin.

[Dan]

Could have at least given Melvin a few carries before they turned the ball over.

[Gray Fox]

They just want to get another turnover.

There it is.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

They just want to get another turnover.
Called.

Nice catch too.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Okay, that one counts.

[Dan]

We're going to win a game!

[Ian]

Didn't realise Julio Jones' next game is in Denver. Should be tasty.

[Gray Fox]

Urge to bench, rising.

[elth]

Wtf is wrong with OBJ.

[Gray Fox]

Forsett has been cut by the Ravens. Seemed to be coming after he was deactivated.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Also means that Dixon is back \0/.

[Ian]

29 games since the Broncos have allowed a QB to have a passer rating of 100 or higher. And I think the other stat I posted a couple of weeks ago is now 3 passing touchdowns allowed in 7 games.

Can't wait for Julio Jones to ruin that this weekend with 600 receiving yards and eight touchdowns just to jinx the shit out of it.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Chargers have lost another player for the year. This time number 1 corner, Jason Verrett.

The new Ravens.

Melvin Gordon had better not be next.

[Dan]

Fucking hell, they're the Arsenal of the NFL.

[Gray Fox]

Can't wait for Julio Jones to ruin that this weekend with 600 receiving yards and eight touchdowns just to jinx the shit out of it.

I imagine they'll have him on quadruple coverage after his big showing last week. This will be a real test of how good the Atlanta offense is. Coleman wont be as much use due to his disease, but I'm interested to see how they fare against the best.

[Ian]

This week will be a test of resolve. Obviously you don't build up these daft streaks by panicking and shitting the bed over a form offense so I don't really see that much being changed. Harris will probably follow Jones and you'd think they'll probably plan for a touch extra safety cover but ultimately the success of the defence is the balance of having genuine man-capable defensive backs who both allow the pass rush to do it's thing and are at the same time supported by the pass rush being so monstrous.

The defense looks as good as it did last year (albeit the record of the teams they've faced is collectively sub-par so far) even without Malik Jackson. Derek Wolfe has really stepped up his game and Shane Ray has been good as well. He's had a lot of mentoring from DeMarcus Ware. I read an interview with Ware saying that at first he thought Ray wasn't paying attention or taking stuff in because he wasn't taking notes or anything but then everything he'd suggested that Ray do got done during the game and they just seem to have a very good relationship.

Ware. :cool:

[Dan]

David Johnson & Larry Fitzgerald :cool:

Everything else about that game was pretty average though.

[Ian]

America's Game is on on Thursday at 11.30pm on Sky if anybody's interested.

[Foe]

Notre dame are playing North Carolina state on what can only really be described as a swamp at the moment. Jesus.

[Gray Fox]

Looks like Cam is out of Mondays game. I had heard it was a pretty bad concussion so it's not all surprising.

[Giggles]

Who's the backup?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Derek Anderson.

[Giggles]

Fucking hell, still? I thought he was at least in his 50's now. Was he not a backup to Tim Couch in his day?

[Foe]

What makes it worse is the collision was completely avoidable. Cam basically tried to stroll in through a defender and got absolutely licked.

Another +1 for the Fitzgerald love though. He's bloody good in the slot.

[Gray Fox]

Paxton Lynch starts for the Broncos tomorrow.

[Giggles]

Injury or just them knowing they can chance it because of that defense?

[Ian]

They thought Siemian was in with a decent chance of making it for tomorrow but I guess he hasn't recovered quite as quickly as they hoped. Partly they know the defence should help look after Lynch tp an extent, partly they can - based on the first few games - trust the offensive line more than expected and partly just that Lynch did a pretty good job in the half a game he played last week.

All the talk has been that it's still Siemian's job to lose but you'd think he'll be worrying if Denver wins with Lynch throwing 250+ plus a touchdown or two and/or plays mistake-free.

[Browning]

Just read that tomorrow is Reggie Bush's first game in LA since.....

Well ever, since none of those other games happened.

It's brilliant that they sent back their copy of his Heisman trophy, while still displaying OJ's.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Drop it mate, the glove didn't fit.

[Gray Fox]

I genuinely thought Reggie retired at the end of last season. Though looking at his opportunities this season, he might as well have.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000717330/article/niners-mulling-over-whether-to-start-colin-kaepernick

Kap could start next week.

The video in that is genuinely sickening.

Gabbert runs around for a while, that's their best offence? Blaine Gabbert has a bunch of rushing yards but I don't want him to have a bunch of rushing yards, I want him to have passing yards.

Yeah Colin would be so different and so much more effective.

[Gray Fox]

Never forget.


http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highlights/0ap3000000570028/49ers-Colin-Kaepernick-doesn-t-see-open-receiver

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It seems that many people forget about the negative if a player doesn't play for a bit.

I'm probably a world beater.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Shareece Wright inactive today :drool:

[Ian]

That throw from Roethlisberger was a thing of beauty.

[Giggles]

Those Steelers jerseys never get good.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

The Jets can't defend a deep ball for shit this year.

[Giggles]

I knew the Vikings would be a defensive machine this year, but when did Bradford learn to play QB?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Giving up an 85 yard punt return for a TD :face:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Perriman > Norman.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'm stunned that Charlie 'Clipboard Jesus' Whitehurst hasn't retired yet.

Lol at that Steeler fake.

[Giggles]

I'm stunned that Charlie 'Clipboard Jesus' Whitehurst hasn't retired yet.

When teams get to their 5th QB by week 5 of the season it's always worth sticking around.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Getting closer to Jared Lorenzen coming back to the NFL.

http://a.espncdn.com/photo/2014/0819/otl_lorenzen02_1600x2132.jpg

Hero.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Mosley :cab:

[Foe]

"You had one job".

Great INT. Horrible execution.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Big time Joe :drool:

Perriman :drool:

Get fucked Norman.

[Browning]

That's coming back.

[Giggles]

Wentz should never throw that.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'm going to claim that the refs are on the take.

[Gray Fox]

Unlucky on Wentz, but you have to be working it up the outside there.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

How was that not interference?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Well the last two times that we lost to the Redskins we won the Superbowl so fuck everyone and everything.

We'll be donning it in Texas in February.

[Giggles]

This offense vs this defense :drool:

[Ian]

Fair play to Atlanta for going for it on 4th and nowt. I wondered whether they'd just take what they could get at that stage. They're probably hopeful of keeping this offense relatively quiet, with the running game struggling and Lynch in his first full start.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It won't happen but I'd fire Trestman.

Some of the play calls were fucking abysmal.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

West had 95 rushing yards on 11 carries.

I think he only had one rushing attempt in the second half.

Flacco threw 46 times. Why?

[Ian]

Atlanta donning this so far. The offensive line looking more like the one I expected coming into the season though Lynch is also not coping quite as well with pressure this week as he did last week or as well as Siemian generally has.

[Ian]

Why the fuck didn't Ryan get rid of it there? Idiot. Ray's done well.

[Ian]

No idea what Lynch saw there but this is all going a bit wrong.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

At least the Bengals are trying to outshit us this year.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Melvin Gordon has turned into an incredible TD hunter.

[Ian]

Not sure Lynch has any right making that throw to Fowler but the boy really trusts his arm. Which will get him into trouble as it did earlier but at least he's not getting cowed by the issues so far in the game.

Also I reckon I could get a sack up against Sambrailo just now.

[Gray Fox]

That big TD run by Zeke just killed my fantasy match up off.

The Thursday curse is real.

Oh San Diego...

Elliott is some beast of a RB.

[Browning]

He is. On the flip side, Melvin Gordon is total wank. His TDs are making people think he's amazing, but his general run game is awful.

The Chargers have to be cursed.

[Gray Fox]

The guy who won our league last year was 2nd pick in our fantasy draft. He decided pretty early on he wanted Elliott. I spent weeks convincing him that Gurley was the much better option and it finally paid off. He didn't fall to me, but that's a little victory for me either way.

Trestman has been shown the door :drool:

Ian, your lot are fucked.

Kubiak has 'RandomLegend's' mongy shit, he'll be having epsom salt baths and baking cakes.

[Ian]

Von Miller for head coach.

Or Aqib Talib for a laugh.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It's all right.

He'll just take a lie down during games, randomlegend does that during lectures.

[Gray Fox]

Jerry Jones has stated that Romo is his #1 QB and will be back in when he returns. The man is a buffoon.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Jason Garrett must be the biggest yes man in the world.

There is no other explanation for how he (or anyone else within the organisation) is able to put up with him.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Aguayo :harold:

2/5 I believe now.

Plus one extra point missed.

Second round pick :drool:

When Blaine Gabbert is your other option then it's the correct move.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

When Blaine Gabbert is your other option then it's the correct move.

It's really not.

It's like choosing between horse shit and cow shit.

Neither will help you win and both will turn the ball over plenty of times.

At least they'll get an early pick in the draft.

Well the horse shit has done fuck all, so trying the cow shit is the right option at this stage. Neither has the mental talent for the position but at least Kapernick has some physical talent.

I love it.

[Giggles]

That top one always gets brought up but it happens so often with every player, the only difference is that the receiver isn't waving his arms about to make it a highlight reel.

Say what you want about Kapernick being shit (he is) but can anyone seriously advocate sticking with Blain Gabbert? He's worse.

EDIT: 2nd one, not top.

[Giggles]

I'm stunned that Charlie 'Clipboard Jesus' Whitehurst hasn't retired yet.

Lol at that Steeler fake.

He might now.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Justin Forssett has gone to Detroit.

[Browning]

Eric Decker is done for the season.

I see Greg Hardy is doing something in MMA. Not sure if he knows it's men he'll have to hit this time round.

[Ian]

Denver's offense in the first half last night was rancid. Not great in the second half either, mind, but at least the running game got going a bit. I know why they're doing it but I'm not a fan of these massive drop backs they've had Siemian and Lynch doing. It's not even setting up the deep ball much so I'd rather they aimed to get the plays moving along a bit more quickly and trust Sanders and Thomas to get open early doors.

[Ian]

Just watching America's Game. DeMarcus Ware comes across really well.

And they've just said that Manning had -12 total rushing yards in college. :D

Things are getting interesting in Nevada. The state has essentially voted to give the green light on giving $750m of public money towards building an NFL stadium complex in Las Vegas.

This would be building a 65,000 seater dome stadium and convention centre. The idea behind all of this is that they want to try and get the Raiders there. The justification for all of that money is that due to the amount of tourism Vegas already gets, the new build should see more money coming in that other state funded stadiums around the place.

You've got to think the Raiders are willing to go, otherwise plans would not have become this advanced.

This also affects the Chargers greatly. Oakland currently have 1st option on moving in with the Rams in 2020 and have the rest of this season to decide, but with the Raiders looking like going to Vegas and the Chargers own plans for state funding seemingly falling through, it would almost become a done deal for the Chargers to move to L.A.

If this excerpt is anything to go by, it should be a decent read. Both Favre and Rodgers sound like complete wankers in it.

Jordan Reed is out with yet another concussion. This either his 5th or 6th since he started playing in college. He's only 26 too so surely he's not far off the question being asked.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Yanda, Stanley, Steve Smith, CJ Mosely and Elvis Dumervil are out for us today :uhoh:
