The NFL Thread

[Dan]

Boswell trying a rabona onside kick :D

[Giggles]

Brilliant :D

[Dan]

It's approaching the level of the Butt Fumble or that Colts play where they put Griff Whalen at QB, psyched themselves out & snapped the ball with a one person O-Line & immediately got buried by about eight dudes.

[Dan]

Speaking of the Colts, they've started rather well today...

[Giggles]

Fuck sake :face:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Kaepernick is such good value.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'm assuming that Goff is absolute dogshit in training which is why he's still on the bench.

[neo_hippy]

Even Brady would look shite in our offence. That drop by kendricks...

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That catch by Michael Thomas was fucking brilliant.

[Gray Fox]

He has to be. They aren't making the play-offs so what's the harm in bringing him in? They're going 7-9 until the end of time either way.

[Bartholomert]

Kaepernick is such good value.

I think Nola is just the NFL version of Texas Tech and Kaepernick still sucks

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I think Nola is just the NFL version of Texas Tech and Kaepernick still sucks

I said that just after his pick, in that he's always good value for throwing them...

People will talk about how good he's been today but ignore all the bad that has been on show. His throwing mechanics are so damn bad, especially his release which is slow.

[Gray Fox]

It might help the Packers if they stop having Rodgers try long bombs with every single throw.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--M6DH9EPw--/c_scale,fl_progressive,q_80,w_800/i1496ozimgpdiqfetmga.gif

I could watch it all day.

[Gray Fox]

What the shit is that? David Dunn would be proud.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

If he had stacked it, I'd have died of laughter.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Melvin Gordon has exploded today, he's usually (this season at least) only scoring TD's and he's done it against one of the best rushing D's this year.

[Gray Fox]

I just saw. The undefeated guy in my league has him to thank for staying so. 250 total yards!

[Giggles]

Watched extended highlights this morning, the Packers absolutely reek.

[Gray Fox]

They really need a RB. With zero ground game to speak of, everyone knows Rodgers is throwing it all day and can plan accordingly.

[Giggles]

They really need a RB. With zero ground game to speak of, everyone knows Rodgers is throwing it all day and can plan accordingly.

Need to start from scratch with it too. Even before the injury Lacy was never the answer, and Starks is an awful player.

[Gray Fox]

Lacy is in a contract year and they'd be daft to pick it up.

I don't know what this years draft class will look like, but they'll be picking between 10th and 20th. Not unreasonable to think about taking a RB or two. It doesn't tend to work drafting one early in the 1st round lately. But if it does, look at Dallas. Similarly good o-line and they've gone from fuck all running game to the best in the league.

[Giggles]

They really need a receiver or two as well. Rodgers likes to go deep and with Nelson never going to be the same player again, all they have are possession receivers that can't get separation from anyone. Nelson in the slot could still work but they need a #1 to push him there.

And that's all before you get to the shambles of a defense. The middle linebackers aren't good enough, Dix hasn't progressed at all and is just very average, and Julius Peppers still has to play far too many snaps.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

WelloffEcstaticArizonaalligatorlizard

That play was a thing of beauty, our best two defensive linemen making shit happen.

Brandon Williams pushing a blocker back to get a deflection and Timmy Jerningan showing some soft hands.

[Giggles]

The trot-off by the Raiders punter :D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

The trot-off by the Raiders punter :D

I fucking love him, he's also incredibly athletic for a fucking punter too:

https://cdn1.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/7330423/king.0.gif

4th and 24 and he picks up 27 easily.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000735384/article/chargers-dj-fluker-kept-playing-after-bug-bit-his-eye

Fuck, that must have stung like a bitch.

[wullie]

There's the Jimmy Graham I was expecting over a year ago!

[Browning]

That was an insane ending to the first half.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

5 rushes for 1 yard with 1 TD is a proper run game.

Well in Michael.

[Giggles]

The lack of offense in the LSU Alabama game is unreal. How the fuck are the Tide #1 with that QB?

[Gray Fox]

PicksMagic has been benched. They're playing Bryce Petty instead.

[Giggles]

Knee injury isn't it?

[Gray Fox]

Yeah but by the sounds of it, it wasn't really a close decision.

[Foe]

The lack of offense in the LSU Alabama game is unreal. How the fuck are the Tide #1 with that QB?

The system that saban builds is so established now that the qb position is almost irrelevant. That 5 star recruit lad walked away pretty much for that reason. He's not going to play much, and if he does he's not going to have a chance to excel as a top draft prospect.

The top draft qbs are the ones who go to decent / good teams and make them excellent. the offensive lines that bama put out are effectively NFL caliber, so if you have a decent running back or half way decent receivers any reasonably qb can excel.

See Blake sims.

Alabama have never been known for QB play, especially the Saban years, but this lad is an absolute liability when he drops back.

[Foe]

Alabama have never been known for QB play, especially the Saban years, but this lad is an absolute liability when he drops back.

Which is why he's trying masquerade under the label "dual threat".

You've got to remember that Lamar Jackson threw a pick on his very first play at Louisville.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Bortles :D

I'd sack him off after that effort at trying to stop the TD too. Useless shit.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Demarco Murray is such a beast when used in a non-Eagles system.

[Dan]

I'm not even going to say it this week :D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'm not even going to say it this week :D

You wont last a whole week.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Demarco can do it all.

I have him and Walker in one team so that's a lovely little play for me.

[Dan]

I'm so glad he didn't do this last week when I was playing Baz :D

Taylor Lewan ejected for pushing an official. Took RedZone three attempts to show the footage of it, mind.

[Dan]

I'd quite like Delanie Walker to stop dominating the Green Bay defence already. Keep chucking it to Fasano.

[Giggles]

This season will see McCarthy gone. Hopefully keep Thompson though.

[Dan]

You know who just did a really bad you know what again...

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Jay Cutler is trying to make Bortles look good.

[Foe]

That wentz attempted fumble recovery :D

The packers are looking like a less than .5 team here.

[Foe]

Jay Cutler is trying to make Bortles look good.

Genuinely, if hoyer didn't get injured I don't think he'd have got the starting gig again.

[Gray Fox]

He still will I think.

[Giggles]

I don't recall a worse Packers defense in the near 25 years I've been watching them. Criminal that Dom Capers has survived year after year after year.

[Gray Fox]

He wont survive taking a pummeling by the Titans. No play-offs this year will open a lot of eyes.

[Foe]

He wont survive taking a pummeling by the Titans. No play-offs this year will open a lot of eyes.

The worrying thing is that Aaron Rodgers is still playing well statistically and her they're getting a beating. Mariota with a 158.3 passer rating.

I fucking love the vikings wideouts. Thielen (undrafted) and diggs (5th round, VALUE) keeping first rounder laquan treadwell in the background.

[Giggles]

Rodgers' hail marys are like a punt.

[Gray Fox]

Rodgers is playing out of his skin considering the utter gash he's got to throw too. The worrying thing for the Packers is what would happen if he was back to his early season form.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Winston :cool:

What a play.

[Foe]

Winston :cool:

What a play.

Reminiscent of that manziel to evans play at Texas A&M.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That defending :D

[Gray Fox]

I'm playing a guy with Mariota, Matthews and Walker. This is all displeasing me greatly.

[Dan]

It's all gone wrong for Michael Thomas today :(

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It's all gone wrong for Michael Thomas today :(

No shit :moop:

[Dan]

That hit on the Philly punt :D

Allen Robinson coming through late in the season :cool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Marcus Peters is so damn good.

[Dan]

It's just occurred to me that the Detroit Lions are tied for the lead in the NFC North now :D What a collapse from the Vikings.

Kelvin :moop:

[Dan]

The Saints :D / :face:

[Ian]

:rave:

I don't think they're going to have an angle to say he stepped out unless they have an angle they've not shown yet. I actually think his foot edges the line but I don't think you can overturn it from the footage.

[Giggles]

That was out but can see how they couldn't overturn it.

[Gray Fox]

I'm barely keeping up with the guy with all the Titans. Seriously need a Rodgers TD throw on this drive.

[Gray Fox]

That's exactly what I didn't need.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That's a ridiculous TD from Johnson.

Not too shabby from Elliot either.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Phillip 'Bortles' Rivers running wild.

[Dan]

Jesus Christ, Rivers has gone full Bortles here.

EDIT: I love that we both made the same reference there :D

[Dan]

Have the Steelers tried & failed a 2pt conversion after every score today?

Zeke behind that line is disgusting.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Ezekiel Elliot keeping us in the playoff hunt :drool:

I'm quite excited over the game next week.

Our rush defence is fucking amazing largely because of Brandon Williams and Timmy Jerningan but it's going to be a MASSIVE test for them. Will be interesting to see how they do against the line and Elliot.

Only Crowell (133 yards on 18 carries but 85 came on one run) and Forte (100 on 30 carries) have managed over 100 thus far.

[Bartholomert]

Have the Steelers tried & failed a 2pt conversion after every score today?

Zeke behind that line is disgusting.

I remember reading somewhere that going for the 2 Pt conversion every time made 'statistical' sense...and yet...

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I remember reading somewhere that going for the 2 Pt conversion every time made 'statistical' sense...and yet...

I think it's just more likely that you'll get it than not or something and it's more valuable since the PAT attempt was moved back.

I'm not sure but I've definitely read something along the line.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/10/15/two-point-conversions-remain-a-better-bet-than-extra-points/

Although kickers have sunk the PAT percentage down and the Steelers have done the same to the 2 point conversion.

[Bartholomert]

Bet $30 on Pats at -8...lets go Tom "I Voted for Trump" Brady

[Giggles]

Dallas will destroy Baltimore. What a line they've built there.

[Giggles]

Alshon Jeffrey done for PED's. 4 games.

[Dan]

Just as well I didn't do that Jeffery/Robinson trade last week :D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000739824/article/rob-gronkowski-suffered-possible-punctured-lung

Gronk has a punctured lung.

[wullie]

Seeing the hit from Earl Thomas I'm not surprised, it looked a big one.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

lol at the Bengals.

They're not even waiting for the playoffs to choke this year :harold:

It's amazing that we're looking very likely to win the division because of being less shit then them and the Steelers.

[Gray Fox]

Vikings has taken Blair Walsh outside and shot him. How far he's fallen since that miss.

However the big news is that Jared Goff is to start against the Dolphins. They had previously said they wouldn't do this until they believed they were out of play-off contention. I guess this is them giving up on the season.

All kickers are shit this year bar Vinatieri and the IMMENSE Justin Tucker.

[Ian]

If Vinatieri isn't a first ballot Hall of Fame guy then they might as well give up.

[Giggles]

The Packers have apparently picked up Christine Michael off waivers.

[Gray Fox]

I'm so glad I dumped him off. Everything Packers seems destined to fail this season.

[wullie]

He'll be back for his eighth spell when Rawls' kneecap drops off.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I don't know what's worse, that these were created or that a lot of people seem to fucking like them.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Started on the new season of A Football Life the other day.

Usually even dicks come across well, this doesn't hold up for Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson. It makes him out to be an even bigger dick.

Browns to draft him next year.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Sounds like AJ Green might be done for the day already.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

'False start, everyone bar the centre'

:D

What a call for the Titans.

[Foe]

That catch from Steve smith sr really was brilliant.

He's still got it.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

800410202055069696

He's fucking amazing. 999th catch.

I also watched his A Football Life earlier today, for someone who can be a right little shit on a football field he's a seriously nice and likeable person.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Christ, the defence has seriously turned up today.

[Foe]

Pierre garçon / dez Bryant seem to be the biggest knobs about, from what I can tell.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

4 PAT's missed already tonight.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Pierre garçon / dez Bryant seem to be the biggest knobs about, from what I can tell.

Greg Hardy is the winner.

[Foe]

I bloody love Xavier Rhodes. Even if he is a Seminole. He's a bloody good db.

[Foe]

Suspect the browns will be cutting two qbs this summer. With the starter with ten plus losses being the one to survive.

Their o-line seems to be more porous than Edam cheese though.

Romo must be a bit concerned he's going to get pumped Cleveland.

[niko_cee]

It's amazing how shit Cleveland have managed to be for so long. In a system that promotes competitive balance it really is quite something..

[Foe]

It's amazing how shit Cleveland have managed to be for so long. In a system that promotes competitive balance it really is quite something..

Cleveland might as well have kept johny manziel and let him play hungover / drunk / stoned.

He'd have been much more entertaining and equally as successful.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Ezekiel Elliot keeping us in the playoff hunt :drool:

I'm quite excited over the game next week.

Our rush defence is fucking amazing largely because of Brandon Williams and Timmy Jerningan but it's going to be a MASSIVE test for them. Will be interesting to see how they do against the line and Elliot.

Only Crowell (133 yards on 18 carries but 85 came on one run) and Forte (100 on 30 carries) have managed over 100 thus far.

Well he was BOTTLED UP. 97 yards on 25 carries. So we know that the run defence is brilliant. The pass defence was brilliant too, but only for 1 quarter.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

11 missed PAT's today.

Which is a record.

[wullie]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lf679c6BG3I

Shakin' Stevens would call that lovely stuff.

[Foe]

There was some serious bullshit calling going on in the Texan's game.

Video replays available and they still make a mess of it. Fantastic.

[Pleb]

Thanksgiving games on in a bit...

Vikings against Lions up first. This could get messy.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Cecil isn't there to cut the turkey.

It's ruined.

[Giggles]

This anthem :D

[Pleb]

If there was a chance to have an anthem protest in the stadium now would be the time.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fucking hell, Aretha. Tone it down a bit, we want to watch the pissing game.

[Pleb]

The network producers must be seething right now.

[Foe]

That was terrible.

[Pleb]

I'm so glad I'm not facing Stafford this week.

[Foe]

I'm so glad I'm not facing Stafford this week.

Stafford vs Xavier Rhodes would be good. Unfortunately, he'll probably avoid it as best he can with wee short slants.

[Pleb]

Should of took the sack.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

No he shouldn't, he threw it out.

[Pleb]

Seeing that again I guess throwing it out was the best option.

That Pass Inference flag was a bit lol.

[Dan]

Forgot the games started early on Thanksgiving :moop:

[Foe]

Forgot the games started early on Thanksgiving :moop:

You haven't missed much.

[Pleb]

The turkey's back :cool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It's not the same without Cecil.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

This game is trash.

[Foe]

This game is trash.

Agree. The next one should be quality. Will record it and watch it tomorrow night.

Would've been great if I didn't have to work tomorrow

[niko_cee]

Whatever happened to Kev Cadle?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Whatever happened to Kev Cadle?

He wrote this:

http://www.kevincadle.com/Kevincadle/images/cadleslide1.jpg

Then left to promote it I believe.

http://www.kevincadle.com/Kevincadle/

He still lists himself as a presenter and did a bit today for Sky Sports.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Eric Kendricks doesn't get enough respect, he's easily a top 10 MLB.

[Foe]

Eric Kendricks doesn't get enough respect, he's easily a top 10 MLB.

UCLA have popped a couple of good ones out recently in him and Barr.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Lol at Bradford.

What a shit game.

[Foe]

Big college game now in Michigan at Ohio state.

mon the buckeyes.

[Foe]

4th and 7 on your own 20, down 10-7 early in the 3rd quarter. Yeah urban. Great idea to try a fake punt. You're now 17-7 down in a low offense game. Brilliant.

[Foe]

Not convinced either of these qbs have a shot in the NFL.

Barrett is just too much of a scrambler and speight is careless. Jt barett probably needs to do a braxton Miller / Julian edelman transformation if he wants a future.

[Foe]

And there goes michigans season. Oh how much they'll regret that loss to Iowa.

Bama, Ohio state, Clemson and then a conversation between Washington, penn state, Michigan,Wisconsin, Colorado Oklahoma and maybe Oklahoma state.

If penn state win then the winner of them and Colorado/washington would have a serious huff if they, as Conference champion, were overlooked for both Ohio state and michigan (not champions)

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Genuinely thought that Matt Barkley was on a couch somewhere.

I think it says a lot that he's actually the Bears's third QB.

[Giggles]

That was a tidy drive from Arizona.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Justin Tucker NAILS a 52 yarder right down the middle.

He's now made 31 straight and is the only kicker who has not missed a kick this year.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Dumervil finally back and making plays :cool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Every game and Zachary Orr seems to get better, him and Mosley are a fucking brilliant MLB partnership.

Both came into our side in the 2014 draft. One went in the first round and the other (Orr) went undrafted.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Tucker with a 57 yard bomb now too.

Easily the best kicker in the game.

[Dan]

Tucker with his third successful 50yd+ kick of the game :cool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

He lolled in the faces of the Bengals when they attempted to ice him too.

Didn't even miss his freebie kick.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Oh and regarding the 57 yarder.

Marvin Lewis declined a holding penalty as he didn't think Tucker would make it and he had to yell at Harbaugh to let him take it.

https://cdn0.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/OjQisR7sfT0zbDPDHf654q3Nn98=/0x0:635x300/920x0/filters:focal(0x0:635x300):no_upscale()/cdn1.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/7540861/tck.0.gif

Just name him our season MVP already.

[Foe]

What's the Browns schedule to finish the season?

Away to bills and steelers. Home to bengals and chargers.

Their best shot is probably against the bengals on the hope that aj green doesn't turn up.

[Dan]

McCoy getting all his fantasy points for the week on one play :drool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

David Johnson is ridiculous.

[Dan]

Willie Snead :drool:

We're taking the piss out of LA now.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Doom :cool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That play by Harbaugh to end the game on a punt despite there being 11 seconds on the clock was genius.

[Foe]

The bears receivers deciding they don't fancy catching anything is ridiculous.

Barkley put two or theee layups in the for them and all of them were dropped. Harsh on the kid.

[Foe]

That play by Harbaugh to end the game on a punt despite there being 11 seconds on the clock was genius.

He's done that before. He did it when the ravens won the super bowl did he not? Took the clock basically all the way down so all they had to do was cover the kick off.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

He's done that before. He did it when the ravens won the super bowl did he not? Took the clock basically all the way down so all they had to do was cover the kick off.

Yep, he did it then too.

Also, Burfict might be the biggest cunt in the NFL.

It's going to be Ravens v Jags if rumours are to be believed.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It's going to be Ravens v Jags if rumours are to be believed.

I'm more than happy with that.

It's going to be glorious.

[Browning]

No one tell the owner what the weather is really like here in September...

Am struggling to think of a game I'd care about less than that from a Fantasy perspective though. Other than garbage time Bortles and Justin Tucker there are no fantasy viable players at all there. Allen Robinson maybe, but he's burnt me too much this season to pick him next year.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Kenneth Dixon, mate.

And hopefully a WR we draft.

[Foe]

1. Bama
2. Clemson
3. Ohio State
4. Washington

Penn State beat Ohio State and go on to win that conference. Yet, don't get in. Losing vs Pitt proving to be a complete disaster.

[Giggles]

Coughing it up on the goal line. Fuck sake.

Still though, snow :cool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'd hate to live in Green Bay (or with a similar climate), fuck all that snow.

Oh and the Ravens :cool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That's a fucking play and a half by Ladarius Webb if it stands.

[Giggles]

Cobb with the snow angel.

Christine Michael already looks so much better than Starks too.

They've also got Chris Conley, De'Anthony Thomas and Albert Wilson.

They might have the fastest quartet of WR's in the NFL.

Al Davis is probably wanking in his grave.

You want a top 10 receiver? Watch that Julio Jones catch :drool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Kaepernick going 1/5 for 4 yards today, lol.

Especially when there was talk today about him voiding his Niner contract and getting PAID in the offseason.

[Dan]

Kaepernick has been benched having completed one pass for 4 yards in more than three quarters :D

[bruhnaldo]

and we made him look like Steve Young.

So good.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

LET KENNETH FUCKING DIXON RUN THE BALL YOU PRICKS.

He's had 3 carries and run for 44 yards, with all going for over 10 yards. He's mincing the Miami defence and we're up by 32 points. Fuck Terrence West.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

lol at Matty Ice.

Takes the lead then throws a pick for the 2 point conversation and Eric Berry returns it back so KC take the lead with the 2 points.

[Dan]

Thanks for calling a pass to your tackle, Cincy :)

Shame Wentz has decided he only wants to throw to Vontaze Burfict today though.

[Foe]

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000750272/article/colin-kaepernick-to-void-contract-but-could-return-to-49ers

I read that earlier and was like really?.this is the same kap who was being pointed as a terrible over paid qb, getting completely out played by 2
'Million dollar man blaine gabbert earlier in the season...

At some point you just have to accept that he's just not that good. See also jay cutler.

The Browns, 49ers and bears are all going to be fighting over college qb1 TBC. (Not a great sign of the qb class)

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I read that earlier and was like really?.this is the same kap who was being pointed as a terrible over paid qb, getting completely out played by 2
'Million dollar man blaine gabbert earlier in the season...

At some point you just have to accept that he's just not that good. See also jay cutler.

NFL analysts are absolute mongs who seem to only work on the basis of one/two games, especially if said player is a 'name'.

They've been salivating for Kaepernick to get back into the job and do something they could describe as decent and they generally don't even look at the actual play. His stat lines have been good but his actual play has been horrible and very typical of him.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

10 rushes for West, 50 yards. 3 receptions, 18 yards.

6 rushes for Dixon, 56 yards. 4 receptions, 21 yards.

He's more effective and yet we keep West as our number 1, ugh.


*Also, I know West's stats look pretty good but he got most of those yards on his last 2 carries. Before those he was at 8 carries for 26 yards.

[Ian]

Miller is an absolute monster. Whoever that right tackle is for Jacksonville, Miller just make him look a proper weakling.

[Dan]

These end of game lateral plays need to stop.

[bruhnaldo]

Get outta here Danno. Those are glorious.

My college team pulled one off last year:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Against Duke too.

Fuck you, Mert.

[Pleb]

Tampa leading over the Chargers?

Someone hold me.

That's a hefty chunk of money to a TE who has less than 400 yards this year (which is his best).

Over 4 seasons in the league he has yet to achieve 1000 yards, combined.

[Pleb]

London games now extended to four for 2017 and probably onwards.

In unrelated news I've been given a Jets t-shirt as a present from my parents who just recently returned from New York. I feel like I have to be a Jets fan now :moop:

[Giggles]

Fuck, thought the Packers were one of the 6pm games. Though missing it might be for the best, it's going to be ugly.

[Ian]

Good start, Forsett.

They've mugged you off there. Unless it's a retro one with tebow on the back.

[Ian]

Talib is such a cock.

EDIT: Oh, I missed the thing with Harris. Yeah, Talib is a massive cock but the other guy needs a slap 'round the ear.

[Dan]

Lev Bell :cool:

Pretty much the only player doing anything good today.

[Ian]

Denver's offense is still utter garbage. Not that it helps having no o-line and injuring most of our RBs, but still. Needs sorted out in the off-season.

[Foe]

Lev Bell :cool:

That last one he was walked in like a guide dog leading an OAP to the shop.

Nice to see brock and luck do their best to out shit each other today.

Wonder how much of that 60 million bill o brien would like refunded.

[Giggles]

Whether they go on to win this or not, even half this performance so far would have beaten the Colts and Titans.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I've just got in. How the fuck are the Jets losing to the fucking Niners?

[Pleb]

Because they are completely and utter garbage

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Yes but the Niners are absolute dog shit.

[Giggles]

Fucking hell.

...yet we beat them in overtime :baz:

[Giggles]

Jeff Fisher fired. Didn't he just get an extension too?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Last week.

Although I'm sure I read that it was actually signed a few weeks ago but only announced last week.

[Giggles]

Didn't realize that last night meant he tied the record for most losses in NFL history too. He may never get to break it.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Someone should hire him as a special teams coach.

Despite being a shit head coach he's been quite successful over the last few years with trick plays.

[bruhnaldo]

Fisher should retire to be honest. Guy has been coaching as long as I remember. He's got a ring, albeit as a backup on that '85 Bears team.

He's barely over .500 as it is. No good team is going to give him a shot. He'll basically go under .500 AND set the record for most losses by a head coach?

With no disrespect to the man I really don't see how he's survived this long. I just thank God he balked on the Dolphins and went with the Rams lol.

[Giggles]

His idea of football is too outdated for the NFL now. He should take a year and find a decent school southern school.

[Gray Fox]

It's odd in terms of the recent extension. If he signed weeks ago you could say it was around the Jets game. Up until then, bar the freak result in week 1, they were close in every game. Essentially all 1 score games.

Since then though they lost to the Dolphins but gone on to turn those losses into blowouts. It must have been him having faith in Fisher to turn the corner, but seeing those results prove he never will.

[Dan]

Giving your coach an extension then firing him weeks later? That's some 7-9 bullshit right there.

Or 4-9, in this case, I guess.

[Giggles]

9/24/17 or 10/1/17: Baltimore v Jacksonville (Wembley)

9/24/17 or 10/1/17: New Orleans v Miami (Wembley)

10/22/17 or 10/29/17: Minnesota v Cleveland (Twickenham)

10/22/17 or 10/29/17: Arizona v Los Angeles (Twickenham)

[Browning]

:drool:

Mahow can finally see the Cards Vs The Rams.

[Gray Fox]

Games 2 and 4 interest me a lot.

I do feel we are being tested by game 3 though. If that sells well you could see franchise talk pick up some pace,

[Pleb]

I'm tempted to get a season pass now.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

When do general sale tickets go out?

I'm buying a fucking Ravens ticket as soon as I can.

[Browning]

I'm tempted to get a season pass now.

They're amazing because you don't have to worry about them selling out and Shitenham games are optional.

Obviously I need to go to Game 4 to see the Cards, not sure I could suffer that shit hole twice in 2 weeks though so might sack off game 3.

[bruhnaldo]

I really ought to get over there for that Dolphins game and hopefully take in a United game finally.

[Dan]

I should try to get to the Saints game, at the least. I'd quite like to go to all four though. Vikings/Browns is lol, but I have family from Cleveland so I should probably go & cheer them on.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000757929/article/adrian-peterson-activated-set-to-start-for-vikings

Peterson is back and will start.

[Gray Fox]

Due to be the coldest game in a while up at Chicago today. Rodgers has a 0-2 record in temps similar.

[Giggles]

After keeping the season alive in the hardest game they had, it is only due that they'll lose to that shitshower.

[Gray Fox]

Rodgers is only on 1.5 legs too. Should be interesting. Though he has played on 1 leg only before.

[Giggles]

Rodgers is only on 1.5 legs too. Should be interesting. Though he has played on 1 leg only before.

That part is probably an advantage. Things go much better overall when he hangs in the pocket a bit longer and ad libs less. Less highlight reel stuff, but more steady.

[Giggles]

Christ it's 8 years since the Lions went 0-16. That's one to make you feel old.

[Ian]

Fucking hell.

I'm having a look at Denver's team at the time, I was only a few years into properly watching NFL by then, Top draft pick was Ryan Clady, who was a fucking boss for those first years.Champ Bailey hero-ing it up in defense. Jay Cutler, Brandon Marshall led the offense and there was a proper "committee" of running backs too. Half of these I'd forgotten had even existed. I'll put their y/a in as well to highlight how even the carries were over the course of the season (presumably inconsistency and injury)

Michael Pittman 320 (4.2)
Peyton Hillis 343 (5.0)
Selvin Young 303 (5.0)
Jay Cutler 200 (3.5) :D
Tatum Bell 249 (5.7)
Andre Hall (???) 144 (4.1)
P.J. Pope (:D) 130 (7.6 :|)
Ryan Torain 69 (4.6)
Eddie Royal 109 (9.9)

What a fucking running game. :drool:

Even better than when Shanahan would just plug any old cunt in at running back and watch them get a thousand yards because the man knew how to get a running game going. Just checking now, Reuben Droughns had 1240 yards in '04, Tatum Bell and Mike Anderson both had about a thousand in '05, Bell just over a thousand in 2006,

The list of running backs in my time watching the Broncos is amazing. There are some of the above, Travis Henry and his love of pot and his 98 children, Knowshon Moreno (backed up by Correll Buckhalter, who got nearly 700 yards at 5.4 a pop), couple of years of Willis McGahee....

What a ride it's been.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Zach Orr :cool:

We're going to school Wentz.

[Giggles]

That was a brilliant opening drive. Hopefully they can hold up in this one.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Tyreek Hill is the best of these 'offensive weapon' type players.

Hero.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Wentz :harold:

He's getting fisted.

[Foe]

Did anyone actually realise the jets Miami game was last night?

I found it in my planner this morning...

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Did anyone actually realise the jets Miami game was last night?

I found it in my planner this morning...

Someone mentioned some Jets/Fins players in the fantasy thread and I thought 'what?' and then checked the site.

I had no idea prior.

[Giggles]

Think it was because the schedule had both NY teams at home this weekend.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

No, it's a thing for weeks 15/16 now.

They did it last year.

Next week all games bar 4 will be on Saturday.

[Giggles]

This calf looks like it's going to be really bad for Rodgers. He can't escape pressure at all. Really struggling.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

10/10 from 50+, what a hero Tucker is.

Also great to see Campanaro back.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

'Mon the Bengals.

Keep it up lads so we can get back into the lead.

[Foe]

'Mon the Bengals.

I thought Pittsburgh were typically good against the bengals so backed them. Mon the comeback.

(I'm a bengals man really, they're great).

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

They're wankers but we need the Steelers to lose.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

lol at Osweiler being benched.

[Dan]

Osweiler :harold:

[Gray Fox]

72 million was it?
