The NFL Thread

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Perriman 1 catch for 41 yards after Joe throws it up in double coverage :cool:

So good to have a new coordinator.

[Dan]

Fleener :cool:

Don't feel quite as bad for dropping Hunter Henry now.

---

Bortles needs to be replaced, as does pretty much the entire Miami team.

[Ian]

That was half an amazing catch by Matthews for the Eagles. Pity he forgot he has two hands.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Cooks loves a long TD.

lol at the corner attempting to cover him.

[Dan]

The Panthers are going to go from 15-1 to 1-15 this year. Even we're destroying them!

[Gray Fox]

All these long bombs so far.

Panthers though. :p

[Dan]

Don't even suggest that Kaepernick is good because he actually saw Torrey Smith wide open this time.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Christ the Panthers are shit today.

Knowing the NFL, Riverboat Ron will be floating away soon.

[Dan]

Can we play the Panthers every week?

Also, can LeSean McCoy play SanFran every week?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

This has been vintage McCoy today.

He clearly doesn't like Chip.

[Gray Fox]

He HATES Chip Kelly.

Much love to Shady.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

He HATES Chip Kelly.

Much love to Shady.

Yeah, I remember the comments and I don't blame him.

Chip Kelly is horsewank.

[Gray Fox]

Plus he's a former, and should still be current, Eagle. Fuck Chip Kelly.

[Dan]

Cam needs to exclusively throw to Kelvin Benjamin & Greg Olsen - preferably Benjamin.

[Gray Fox]

I've stayed clear of Panthers skill players until they accept they aren't going near the play-offs this year.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'm playing Newton and Benjamin in a league because it's the New Orleans defence and yet... :\

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Jimmy Smith > Beckham.

[Dan]

This has not been Odell Beckham Jr's season...

[Dan]

Awful throw from Cousins there.

Whilst I'm on the subject of QBs, I'm so glad I'm not starting Eli anymore. The Giants have just been frustrating to watch all season on offence.

[Browning]

OBJ going off injured 1 week before London...

[Dan]

Shady looks to be injured too :uhoh:

[Gray Fox]

Good thing Shady already got his full games worth of points in before half time.

</3

[Foe]

The panthers are doing a miserable job of trying to get back to the Super Bowl. Getting kelvin Benjamin back should mean they're better on offence, rather than dropping eggs all over the shop.

[Gray Fox]

The panthers are doing a miserable job of trying to get back to the Super Bowl. Getting kelvin Benjamin back should mean they're better on offence, rather than dropping eggs all over the shop.

They turned up at the Vikings with a gameplan to give Benjamin literally 0 targets. They deserve what they're getting.

[Gray Fox]

Apparently Shady and Big Ben are cleared to return.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

First half we have Beckham tied up to fuck.

Second half, Jimmy Smith leaves due to a concussion and he's now fisting us.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That pass to Mike Wallace was stunning.

It also would never have happened under Trestman as he seemed to hate any pass play that would see the ball thrown more than 5 yards.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'd have kicked, or gone for a play action as the rush wasn't there.

[Ian]

I know the Super Bowl hangover isn't a new thing but I'm still kind of stunned at Carolina's performance this year. They weren't a fluke last year or a team who squeaked a lot of games. They were a fucking good side.

[Giggles]

What the fuck is going on in Miami?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Shady is absolutely fisting Chip Kelly and his defence. It's fucking glorious.

[Gray Fox]

Shady is absolutely fisting Chip Kelly and his defence. It's fucking glorious.

It is. On so so many levels.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Why do they go 'TRIPLE BOX'? I can barely see what the fuck is happening.

Switch between the fucking games.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

If Jay Ajayi wasn't such a cunt it would be nice to cheer him on.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

:face:

[Giggles]

Beckham :hail:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

If Jimmy Smith didn't have to sit out the second half he'd probably be on about 50 yards at best.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Jamaal Charles is back :cool:

[Giggles]

Packers are going to get walloped here. Though they deserve if for the jerseys.

[Browning]

That not being an interception. :D

Dak will never be picked.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That not being an interception. :D

Dak will never be picked.

I was lolling that they instantly were calling it a fumble thinking it was a fix but I have to agree on seeing the replay. His hand wasn't moving forwards.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

They need to fix the audio in Oakland, my ears are beginning to bleed.

[Giggles]

What colour is Jimmy Graham?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I see some interviews from black pride type places but he also says this:


I WAS THE YOUNGEST, I WAS THE SMALLEST AND I WAS THE ONE WHO LOOKED DIFFERENT. RED HAIR, FRECKLES. THEY DIDN’T KNOW WHAT I WAS—BLACK, WHITE, SPANISH. THEY JUST KNEW I WAS DIFFERENT. AND BECAUSE OF THAT, I FOUGHT EVERY DAY.

Doesn't clear it up though.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Also, wasn't Lacy meant to have slimmed down?

It's like seeing a nose tackle rumble down a pitch.

[Pleb]

Packers are going to get walloped here. Though they deserve if for the jerseys.
I may slightly regret playing their defence in one of my fantasy leagues :sherlock:

[Giggles]

I may slightly regret playing their defence in one of my fantasy leagues :sherlock:

Playing a Dom Capers defense, you deserve what you get.

[Giggles]

Also, wasn't Lacy meant to have slimmed down?

It's like seeing a nose tackle rumble down a pitch.

He's the only active RB tonight too, so it'll have to be 100% pass for most of the second half once he's had all the oxygen.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Speaking of nose tackles.

Dontari Poe has a receiving TD now :cool:

Heaviest player with a rushing TD and now a catching one.

[Gray Fox]

Put him in at QB for a sneak and let someone try and stop him.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

787771308667011072

:drool:

Get fucked JJ Watt.

[Ian]

Fuck 'em both. It's all about Mitch Unrein.

[Ian]

Obviously it's actually about Mike Vrabel, who scored a TD with every single one of his receptions, as I recall.

But fuck it. Unrein. :cool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fucking hell.

I just checked out Vrabel. 10 catches, 10 TD's.

It's not even some bullshit stat as he did it quite a bit.

Longest was a 2 yard catch too, the fucking hero.

[Ian]

I knew Vrabel had enough of them for it to be an actual stat.

Sherman's tantrum there. :harold: What a tosser.

[Giggles]

Aaron Rodgers isn't even a top 15 QB any more.

[Gray Fox]

Looks to me like the Falcons are the real deal.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That stat was a corker.

Not only does it make me realise that I was wrong (Poe's TD was a rushing one because the pass went backwards) but it also means that he has more rushing TD's than the Packers RBs combined this season.

[Browning]

Fucking hell.

I just checked out Vrabel. 10 catches, 10 TD's.

It's not even some bullshit stat as he did it quite a bit.

Longest was a 2 yard catch too, the fucking hero.

It's actually 12/12 as he got 2 for the Chiefs too. And two of the Patriots ones were in Super Bowls.

[bruhnaldo]

the Dolphins did a thing! yes!

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It's actually 12/12 as he got 2 for the Chiefs too. And two of the Patriots ones were in Super Bowls.

I was missing the Super Bowl ones. NFL's website only lists his regular season stats.

Geezer is a hero.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Play call for Poe's TD is Hungry Pig Right :cool:

https://cdn3.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/7288331/FATGUY.0.gif

I could watch it for hours.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Just watched the highlights from this morning.

The Jets D is a disgrace, the holes for the two goal-line TD's that Johnson scored could have seen a bus go through.

Lol again at Fitz as well as Geno who only needed 6 throws to give up an interception.

[Gray Fox]

I think the Jets office have proved themselves very right in not offering Fitz more than a 1 year deal.

At this point they should probably just give Hackenberg a shot.

[Giggles]

Lacy out for 'several weeks' and Shields gone on IR.

The season was already pretty close to the U-bend, but someone has just pulled the flusher.

[Gray Fox]

Rodgers looked properly shaky against the Cowboys too. He's usually supreme at home.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

One of us should fly out to Green Bay, could probably get a job as backup RB.

[Giggles]

Rodgers looked properly shaky against the Cowboys too. He's usually supreme at home.

He's done unless he has a long hard word with himself.

[Gray Fox]

I'm sure God will help him. Or some shit.

In more entertaining news, Jets have made Geno Smith their starter against the Ravens.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fucking yes.

Fitz is the type who would pick us apart (even if he is lobbing around picks for fun).

The last time Geno played us (in 2013) he went 9/22, 127 yards, 0 TD's, 2 picks.

A Geno led Jets team with a shit rushing defence (get Dixon some carries you mooks) is the perfect way to get back on track.

[Browning]

Possible career ender for Dez:

:face:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Lacy has been put on IR as he needs ankle surgery.

[Giggles]

Lacy has been put on IR as he needs ankle surgery.

That'll be him done there now. There's most likely going to be big changes under a new coach and possibly GM there next season anyway.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Imagine how fat he's going to be next year.

[Gray Fox]

Green Bay needs a big shake up anyway. Lacy going down might help.

They have a once in a generation QB who is being wasted by only having Jordy Nelson to throw to. They have no run game, yet have what looks like a great O-Line. Their defence is piss poor too.

If it were me, I'd fire the OC and DC as well as the head coach. Ship Lacy out at any cost and start again.

[Giggles]

This was the best looking defense in years until all the defensive backs went down but it's time to get rid of Capers at least anyway, it's been nearly a decade and poor for most of it.

I really think Rodgers is done now though. Body language-wise he looks shot to bits mentally, and is so dead set on living up to the near perfect stats he was putting up that he's absolutely terrified to take chances any more.

[Ian]

Apparently there have been a number of reports that Rodgers is outright bored. Whether that's of football in general or just means he could do with a change of scenery appears to be unclear. But league scouts don't seem to be surprised by the downtun in form. Of course it's in their interest to seem prescient so how many of those are telling the truth is hard to say.

I'm not sure there's a team out there that could afford him, who would have a shot at trading for him.

[Browning]

Josh Brown is not travelling to London. First Craig David and now this. I want a refund.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That was such a brilliant pick return.

[Giggles]

What's with the Thursday Night Football graphics?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

What's with the Thursday Night Football graphics?

It's being hosted by NFL Network (who usually do TNF) and they haven't bothered to get a new one for the international game.

790198123457052672

'Almost like a foreign sport' :D

[Ian]

He's just the worst.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Case Keenum has attempted 52, fifty fucking two, passes thus far. Why? I wouldn't even want prime Peyton doing that.

Fourth pick was disgusting.

Whoever has called that many pass plays should be sacked.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

10 yard receiving TD for an offensive tackle, that has to be close to a record.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Our special teams actually doing something :drool:

What a day.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

What a derpy match the Vikings/Eagles one is.

Also, it's fucking nice of Spencer Ware to turn back into a don when Charles finally comes back :moop:

[Pleb]

Well my fantasy season is dead to me now :moop:

[Browning]

Twickenham is so shit in just about every way. Please fuck them off next year and just do all the games at Wembley.

Edit- Just seen it's a 3 year deal.... great. Gonna have to be 2 good teams next year for me to bother with that 1.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Mornhingweg started so well but he's gone to the Trestman playbook. 44 passes and only 12 rushes.

Why don't they realise that we're so much better as a run first team and it helps Flacco so much more. This is because it sets up some potential play action plays which Flacco shines in and the defence loads the box which means more one on one opportunities for Flacco to air it out.

Now that our season is all but dead I hope we use Kenneth Dixon more as well as our young guys on defence more.

Matt Judon looks like he might be the real deal he had a lot of QB pressures in our first 3 games then was inactive for the next two but he came up with 2 sacks today.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Melvin Gordon's nose for the endzone is incredible.

Especially as he didn't get a single one in his rookie year.

[Gray Fox]

Twickenham is so shit in just about every way. Please fuck them off next year and just do all the games at Wembley.

I went too and agree, something seemed a little off. It wasn't that the game was awful(which it was. Manning and Keenum were worse than dire) but something wasn't quite there. I've not been to another game so I can't tell if it was just the stadium. Still, I got myself some free stuff. Got some Tebow chants for wearing his Eagles jersey too.

I will say though, that was in no way a Rams home game. It was at least 50-60% Giants fans with your usual blend of every other team. Won a bet on first TD scorer too, which was nice.

[Giggles]

Vomiting on someone's face is disgusting. Slicing someone from neck to balls is disgusting. A run over cat is disgusting. An interception is not.

[elth]

If the NFL want to know why their ratings are collapsing this season, them putting dour bullshit like this in prime time is a good place to start.

[Ian]

I will say though, that was in no way a Rams home game. It was at least 50-60% Giants fans with your usual blend of every other team. Won a bet on first TD scorer too, which was nice.

Standard. A combination at these games of people who just want to see an NFL game and fans who aren't knowledgeable enough to know when they're meant to be noisy or quiet. I tend to pick a team and be noisy appropriately.

[Browning]

That cardinals game sounds like the worst game of all time.

[wullie]

I regret staying up to see everybody balls up everything they could.

[Demerit]

I was a default Ram, as the Giants are in our division, but had to cheer Beckham for fantasy reasons. Barely a Ram in sight near me though.

It's a real pain in the arse to get to is the biggest gripe. I went to University not far from there so I know the area well, but even so it wasn't easy. In the end I decided to drive (well, get a lift) to near my old Uni and just get a 10 minute train rather than fucking about with multiple trains and a 2 hour plus journey each way. If it wasn't for my wife having a decent reason to want to drive there by chance, I'd have had a hellish journey I imagine. Even the 10 minute train was somewhat annoying once I got off as the way they handle the roads around the stadium is bizarre. They seem to shut off half of them so you can get nearish the ground but then they don't shut the other half so you get stuck in a massive queue waiting to cross the road which is busier than usual due to the road closures. Wembley is so much simpler in all respects.

Then I got there and the bloke next to me in a Giants jersey looked like he should have been playing on their OL and took up half my fucking seat as well as his own. I'm sure Wembley gives you more room. He seemed to be on his own too otherwise I'd have told him to share with his family/mates. Well I probably wouldn't have, but it was fucking uncomfortable.

The main annoyance for me stadium wise though was the food outlets. They seemed to have about 3 and all in one communal area. After queuing for the entirety of Half time and not making any progress we gave up and headed back. We missed 5 minutes and I was starving, but at least it seems like fuck all happened in that 5 minutes.

The trains getting back were a nightmare too, which is somewhat expected, but at least at Wembley they have multiple queues and they are clearly signposted and move quickly. The amount of people who missed the one small sign that I luckily saw and got in my queue even though they wanted to go the other direction, then had to turn back, causing another queue going backwards..... it was insane.

I still enjoyed it, to be honest, it's live NFL, but yea, compared to the convenience and relative luxury of Wembley, plus the fact it holds 20,000 more, I'm not sure why they've bothered with this.

You are right, it felt like a Giants home game to me. A few Giants chants kind of got going at some points. I do wish the atmosphere was better at all NFL UK games to be honest. You get the same thing with wrestling and anything imported from the US.... the UK fans seem to limit themselves to the bollocks atmosphere of the US crowds they've seen on TV, rather than making it feel more like a proper football game.

[Gray Fox]

Arian Foster is calling it a day. Hugely talented back, just a shame he was made of glass.

[Browning]

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000727386/article/bowles-fine-with-fitz-playing-pissed-if-it-stops-ints

Oh god no...

[Ian]

Just watched the condensed game of last night's match. So much better with Kubiak back running the offense. Easier situation than the San Diego game but the playcalling was far more responsive.

I'm liking the look of Devontae Booker as well.

[Gray Fox]

Meanwhile, the Texans are desperately trying to find the receipt for Brock Osweiler.

[Ian]

The Texans o-line did a great job and Osweiler got rid of it pronto if things looked like going south so they can't even claim damaged goods.

Had a feeling he'd end the night clean after some of the gobbiness from Denver pass rushers in the week.

[Ian]

I'm glad the NFL House is free because it was a bit rubbish.

[Foe]

I'm glad the NFL House is free because it was a bit rubbish.

The jags last night were all sorts of terrible. Tackling isn't something they practice, I'd hope.

[Ian]

Eh?

[Foe]

Did you watch the jags v Titans yesterday?

[Giggles]

The score didn't even make it seem as one sided as it actually was. Bortles has such a big wind-up, even when he completed passes he looked like Jeff George.

[Dan]

My opinion of Blake Bortles somehow manages to get even lower with every passing week. He's just awful, and their defence looked pathetic, even from just seeing the highlights this morning. They're absolute trash. Easily the worst team in the division right now, although they're also the one with the most potential by a fair margin.

[Gray Fox]

And somehow Bortles put up basically 30 points in fantasy. Madness.

[Dan]

Shame he can't do a fucking thing for Allen Robinson :panda:

[Browning]

Shame he can't do a fucking thing for Allen Robinson :panda:

Indeed, the cunt.

One of the guys on NFL.com summed it up pretty well. It's like when your mate gets a new girlfriend you can't stand, and now you can't invite Allen out anymore because Blake's coming. :D

His fantasy score this week is a fucking joke, but luckily I'm not facing him.

[elth]

Counting on garbage time fantasy scoring is basically the only reason anyone drafted Jaguars players though so nobody else can complain too much.

[Spoonsky]

All you watching the NFL when the Cubs are playing in the World Series. :nono:

[Gray Fox]

Shame he can't do a fucking thing for Allen Robinson :panda:

He's in a contract year next year and will be I believe 24. He should see what the Jags do in the off season and if it's the usual shit, then think about moving to a better team.

[Giggles]

All you watching the NFL when the Cubs are playing in the World Series. :nono:

What an idiotic thing to say. Just because they're both American sports fans of one should watch the other when they're completely different, that's a :nono:

Which hipster blog has told you that baseball is the thing now anyway?

[Browning]

I have always found it weird that some Americans enjoy watching professional rounders.

[Ian]

Did you watch the jags v Titans yesterday?

No I was just commenting on the NFL House thing they've got open for the international series.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Finally watched the highlights of the Cardinals/Seahawks game and I'm stunned that Hauschka hasn't been cut.

https://cdn2.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/7332737/failSNF.0.gif

Missing a 28 yarder by that much at the death of a game shows you've got no bottle.

He just about hit the net.

[Giggles]

I thought BBC showed all the London games live?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It's on the fucking red button.

So I need to choose whether to watch it on SD with better studio coverage or in HD with Sky's wank studio.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'm liking the look of this Rob Kelley.

[Dan]

Eifert :cool:

Mike Nugent is having a shocker though. The Kickers Union seems to be rallying around Roberto Aguayo by having its members deliberately miss easy kicks so he doesn't look as bad.

[Gray Fox]

Even so Aguayo still looks bad.

Norman v Green is great. It's killing me fantasy wise but it's good to watch.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That was a great throw but an even better catch.

[Giggles]

This has been rather decent.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I really hope that next year the Ravens come over.

It would be great to piss and moan about all our bad play as well as curse our luck as we hit double figures for injuries live.

[Giggles]

That was absolutely rubbish by the Bengals when you need to kill a game.

[Dan]

Saints coming next year :joy: I'll have to be sure to get tickets then.

[Gray Fox]

To be fair to the rest of the team, on 2nd down they worked AJ Green inside and he was open for some good yards. Dalton fucked the throw.

[Giggles]

Is that the only game confirmed for next year? Still no sign of a Packers game over all the years.

How many different teams have played there now anyway?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Someone needs to fucking score or Sky Sports needs to start the Redzone stream ffs.

[Gray Fox]

Saints @ Dolphins
TBD @ Rams
TBD @ Jaguars

That's what we're getting next year.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Why are Sky showing the London game on Sky Sports 3 and Sky Sports Mix (the Redzone channel)? What is the fucking point you useless shitbags.

[Giggles]

Is Redzone on Mix after this? I'm not in my own house so I can't get SS1.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Is Redzone on Mix after this? I'm not in my own house so I can't get SS1.

I believe so, they haven't said anything though. It's listed on Virgin's TV guide as starting at 6 but I assume that's because they didn't sort it out since the clocks went back.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Jesus, that kick :face:

Dat pick from Stupar :drool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Aguayo :harold:

I wonder how long until he's cut.

[Giggles]

Ty Montgomery and Randall Cobb out tonight. There goes the backfield completely. And with Clay Matthews also gone, I'd be impressed if this was held under a 40 point differential.

Julio Jones up against a 4th and 5th CB defensive backfield :face:

Aguayo's probably going to be booted out of the Kickers' Union at this rate.

Alright guys, this 'miss every kick' shit is getting old now.

[Dan]

Devontae Booker questionable to return with a shoulder injury. Sorry Mahow.

[Gray Fox]

He's had 2 touches! What the hell happened?

[Dan]

No idea, but I assume that means it's Kapri Bibbs & Juwan Thompson at RB now, which is hardly thrilling.

[Dan]

Oakland have broken the record for most penalties in a game, having just picked up their 23rd of the game :cool:

Nevermind, it was declined, so technically they're still co-holders at 22. Won't be long before they get another one though...

EDIT: Literally the next play :D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

He's had 2 touches! What the hell happened?

I cursed him by adding him to my team.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Del Rio, Carr and Roberts :cool:

[Dan]

Looks like Booker is back in too.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Geronimo Allison? Seriously?

Also, Wade Phillips just got knocked the fuck out.

[Dan]

I guess that's one way of trying to stop the Denver defence. Hopefully he's okay though.

[Gray Fox]

I could really do without Denver getting many of those pick 6.

[Browning]

The London game was fucking incredible.

AJ Green. :drool:

Are the Rams actually confirmed for next year? If they're at Twickenham again I'll sack that off. Thank God my season ticket makes any non-Wembley games optional.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Doesn't feel right hearing Simeian shouting 'OMAHA' there.

[Gray Fox]

The London game was fucking incredible.

AJ Green. :drool:

Are the Rams actually confirmed for next year? If they're at Twickenham again I'll sack that off. Thank God my season ticket makes any non-Wembley games optional.

The Rams have offered to play at least one game in the International Series until their new stadium is done. But it'll save them having to get another team to give up a home game, so I doubt they'll put up much of an argument.

[Browning]

How long is that going to take? Fuck the Rams.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Travis Benjamin :drool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

How long is that going to take? Fuck the Rams.

I agree now that I won't be going to LA for Christmas and will have to settle for an NBA game in April. Fuck them all.

[Gray Fox]

How long is that going to take? Fuck the Rams.

2020 I believe. Plan is for 2019 but considering the size of the thing I'm assuming it'll get some delays.

[Gray Fox]

This Rodgers fella is decent.

[Giggles]

Fuck sake. I'd rather they'd just lost by 30 than that.

[Browning]

The Packers can get fucked. That one challenge has probably cost me my fantasy match. They should have considered that before throwing the flag.

[Ian]

Yeah I really enjoyed Wembley yesterday. Best one I've been to in every sense I'd say, though Broncos wasn't bad. Got myself a new Broncos jersey.

Did we cover Jay Gruden, that's NFL head coach Jay Gruden, saying before last week he didn't know ties were possible?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Andre Johnson has retired.

[Gray Fox]

The thing that bugs me with the London games is that the commentators always go on about how "we'd love to learn what this game is all about" and how the high turnouts are a great sign that the game has some following over here. It's as if we all happened to be walking past in our NFL jerseys and saw some commotion in the stadium, so we decided to go and see what it all was.

[Giggles]

That Jamie Collins trade is odd.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Conditional third rounder too. I don't understand that at all.

[Giggles]

Being the Patriots you just know that in a years time Collins will be suspended and they'll have a pro bowler out of the third rounder.

[bruhnaldo]

I agree now that I won't be going to LA for Christmas and will have to settle for an NBA game in April. Fuck them all.

Gutted for you, buddy :(

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Gutted for you, buddy :(

I know, the NBA 'crowd' must be the worst.

If baseball wasn't so boring I'd probably go to a game instead.

[Browning]

The best part is if it's a 4th rounder the pats forfeit it anyway. :D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I really don't understand the trade at all from the Pats point of view.

[Giggles]

I really don't understand the trade at all from the Pats point of view.

There'll probably be a reason behind the scenes we don't know. He is a free agent at the end of the season and looking a fortune too.

"I don't like him," Wolfe told Altitude Sports host Vic Lombardi. "Not the kind of guy I'd hang out with. Ever since I told him I'd eat his kids, just hasn't been the same."

:cab: :D

[Bartholomert]

Me winning this week was pretty lol given my lineup

[Bartholomert]

I really don't understand the trade at all from the Pats point of view.

ESPN was saying that he wasn't meshing with the team, he was going to demand a ridiculous contract at the end of the year anyways, and the Browns are irrelevant so won't come back to hurt them.

[Foe]

They keep hammering on about a U.K. Franchise too. I just don't get how it would work. This isn't like Toronto deciding they want a piece. It's a 8 hour flight across a time zone to a country that largely doesn't follow the American values.

If a player like Eli doesn't want to go to San Diego, you know there's a fucking host of players (particularly veterans) who would fuck off having to move to Britain.

The sensation / holiday is fine, but to have to do it 8 times, or be based here is just bonkers.

[bruhnaldo]

I just don't understand how a London team would work in the long run.

Unless that entire supersonic 3 hours from LDN to NYC jet i heard about becomes a thing, but even then, that has to be pretty taxing on the body to have to do every (other) week.

While I'm getting really pissed off that we (the Dolphins) keep losing home games to London, I doubt the entire "INTERNATIONAL SERIES!" will cease to be anytime soon, given all of the success it has, Spurs new stadium being co-opted with the NFL, etc. etc.

[Browning]

If there was a London franchise I suspect they would play all their home games in back to back weeks and then fuck off to the states for the rest of the year.

The Colts didn't even take a bye week after the London trip, so it could work.

I still doubt it'll happen though.

That's a hell of a home field advantage.

[Giggles]

You'll end up with more games (or possibly the same and some in Germany) but not a full home franchise. It just wouldn't work.

[Browning]

Knile Davis has been cut.

You had to give up this game as your stadium was chosen to host the Superbowl.

It was a recent rule introduced that you have 5 years to give up the home game after winning the bid to host the big game.

[Ian]

A London franchise could work-ish, it'd just need more jiggery-pokery with the schedules.

More runs of home and road games, bye weeks or carefully-chosen matches after trips to or from anything beyond about Nebraska.

It's just a money thing anyway. Once the NFL thinks there's more money in having a London franchise than one in, say, Jacksonville they'll make it happen.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Lol @ the Bills giving Percy Harvin a million to get off his couch for 8 games.

[Foe]

The Vikings fans must be fuming. Looking like a shit heap when Bridgewater goes down, seething at wasting a first rounder on Bradford before seeing the team look really solid to get to 5-0.

Then back to back losses to the Eagles and the fucking Bears. Rollercoaster.

On the plus side, Xavier Rhodes looks REALLY FUCKING GOOD.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I was falling asleep whilst driving this morning and woke myself up by shouting 'BLUE FORTY TWO' and 'OMAHA'.

Based on this imagine how well I could spark an entire offence.

Some team needs to sign me up.

[bruhnaldo]

Nah I know that but even before, we've been to London like 4 times already.

Stephen Ross (our owner) gives no fucks about the actual fans of his shit team.

See the Eagles game I understand. Bye weeks tend to mess up your rhythm and we are playing some serious hard ball at home(100% at home but only losing by one score when we do).

The Bears loss I just can't explain.

The eagles actually look like a fairly solid out fit this year. If they had a couple of better receivers they might have been a decent force. Jordan Matthews is too much of a dropper but he's still their best option.

Problem for Matthews is we literally have no one else. Huff just got arrested, DGB hasn't done anything and Agholor looks piss in the wind. We've had to try and turn him into an outside guy when he is really better in the slot. We have been linked to a trade for Alshon Jeffery and also Torrey Smith to try and get an outside guy, but it's not happening. Our defence is also a few additions away from being a top unit.

Jamaal Charles also just went on IR.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK.

Well I guess Pleb did win the trade.

That's the problem with speedsters. I was a bit concerned about will fuller given he's a receiver that is afraid of catching the ball. But turns out that if you just chuck it at him enough times one will eventually stick.

Actually finding a receiver who's a naturally catcher seems to be under rated. See steffon diggs, Chris hogan. Speed isn't all that important.

After being acquired by and then released by the Packers after one game in Wisconsin, Davis was claimed by the Jets at around 4:30 p.m. ET.

However, just 150 minutes later, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported that Davis was in fact being cut by Gang Green and is being replaced by fellow journeyman running back C.J. Spiller.

Harsh :console:

[Pleb]

FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK.

Well I guess Pleb did win the trade.
:cool:

[Gray Fox]

We've just cut Josh Huff.

He was arrested Tuesday for a small amount of weed on him and unlawful possession of a firearm. His response was "What professional athlete dont have a gun?"
While I'm sure plenty do, not all of them carry hollow point bullets around with them.

[Giggles]

That was some catch by Mike Evans, took a fair hit making it too.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

794371814000508928

Fucking glorious.

[Giggles]

The hit :drool:

[Dan]

He's in concussion protocol because of it too. You should totally trade him to me now Mahow. His value's only going to drop :)

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000734042/article/mccluster-fractures-forearm-at-home-out-for-season


The team announced Saturday that it has placed running back Dexter McCluster on reserve-non football injury (NFI-I) with a fractured forearm. McCluster will miss the remainder of the 2016 season.

NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported that McCluster suffered the injury in an accident at his home.


Power wanking to the maximum :drool:

[Gray Fox]

Knile Davis is back at the Chiefs again. Hopefully he lasts more than a few hours this time.

[Gray Fox]

Big Ben is back.

[Giggles]

According to NFL.com, Collins wanted out of New England. Cleveland is the ultimate punishment in fairness.

[Gray Fox]

The rumour when it happened was that he wanted "Von Miller money."

Instead his contract got strip-sacked and taken all the way for Cleveland.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Mosley, Yanda, Stanley, Smith and Suggs are back for us though :drool:

Big Ben will get fucked up, we usually lay a couple of big hits on him a game.

[Gray Fox]

I've already picked up and put in the Ravens in my other league.

[Foe]

Carson wentz has started well today.

[Gray Fox]

Mike Wallace :D
90+ yard TD?

[Giggles]

That throw from Stafford was woeful.

[Dan]

Fairly happy with my decision to play Eli over Stafford so far :D

[Gray Fox]

Anyone know why Dez Bryant is losing his shit?

[Giggles]

Isn't he always?

[Gray Fox]

Yes but usually he finishes by telling Romo that "they the best in the NFL!"

[Gray Fox]

Interesting stat on Jay Ajayi. He almost never gains yards after a tackle, when he gets tagged on or before the line of scrimmage.

However once he gets his legs up to full speed he's gone, his ability to dodge or break tackles massively increases ones he gets past the line.

I was reading something similar on Ezekiel Elliott during the week.

[Dan]

I guess it's time for the weekly 'Blake Bortles is shit' bit. The pick he threw earlier was hilariously bad, and he's doing his best to avoid getting any points at all so far.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

795331867964678145

Christ, even though it worked even Powell looked mad.

[Dan]

Fitzmagic :cool:

EDIT: The other kind of Fitzmagic :cool: Top pick from a lineman, made even better by the hurdle.

Bortles missing a wide open Allen Robinson. AGAIN. It seems like 70% of the targets Robinson gets are borderline uncatchable at best.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Why can't we play like this every game?

[Gray Fox]

You don't play the Steelers every game is why.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

You don't play the Steelers every game is why.

True.

I have no idea how, no matter how shocking our secondary is, but we always lock Antonio Brown completely down. Every other week we look like we could give up a TD to a bum off the street.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Oh and lol at Kelce getting ejected for throwing his towel at a ref.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Of course I say that and he scores a TD.

[Dan]

Aww, no shutout for Baltimore :(

Costs me 6pts in our league, gains me 8 in another league. I'd rather have the 6 in ours, to be honest. And now Eli throws a pick :D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Only his second TD against the Ravens, in this his 14th game.

[Giggles]

That's some boot from Prater.

[Dan]

Jets should've kept Petty in.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'm not sure what was better.

Golden Tate somehow managing to stay in or the flying mid-air leg drop he put on a Vikings player.

[Giggles]

That was some fancy footwork by Tate.

[Dan]

Eli :moop:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That onside kick :D
