The NFL Thread

[Browning]

The Vikings are the most consistently over rated team. I've never understood it.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Jake Elliot should try out for the Browns.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

The Vikings are the most consistently over rated team. I've never understood it.

Whilst true they should be dicking this Bills team.

I also think Cousins is probably the most over rated QB right now.

[Dan]

Calvin Ridley is good. PJ Williams isn't.

[Dan]

It's his turn today.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

We look amazing without CJ Mosley :moop:

Although Kenny Young is a tackle machine.

[Dan]

Nice pick from Donte Jackson there (not James Bradberry, Scott Hansen)

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Josh Allen :D

Never seen a QB hurdle.

[Dan]

Fucking hell Josh Allen :cool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Josh Allen is fucking carving the Vikings up.

[Dan]

Football is great, isn't it?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Josh Allen stiff arming Anthony Barr after spinning out of a sack too. What a guy.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

:drool:

[Dan]

RIP 65% of every survivor pool.

[Gray Fox]

Jake Elliot should try out for the Browns.

Superbowl Champion Jake Elliot.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Superbowl Champion Jake Elliot.

How many misses already this season? 2? 3?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That pass on the run by Mahomes was quality.

[Giggles]

Packers offense is an absolute shit show. Best wepan today is punting from lol.

[Giggles]

Adrian Peterson running all over the Packers. It's 2011.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Ridley has really come on strong after an awful week 1.

[Gray Fox]

That's both Cam and CJ taking a TD away from CmC

[Dan]

Calvin Ridley is good. PJ Williams isn't.

+1

[Giggles]

Geronimo Allison dancing when they're 21-10 down. NFL players really are twats.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Breida also looks like a stiff wind could fuck him up.

He's not built to be a lead back, the more they use him as such the closer he is to breaking into pieces.

Injured...

[Dan]

That might be two non-contact season ending injuries for 49er RBs before the end of week 3.

[Gray Fox]

I just got a guy to agree to a him for Shady trade too. :panda:

[Giggles]

Wilkerson looks done for the season.

The defense is so so bad already.

[Giggles]

Peterson got another touchdown that easily wasn't but because it was called one on the field it stood.

Still though, 323 yards allowed in a half it hardly matters.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Ridley is having a breakout game.

[Dan]

+1

:harold:

I look forward to the inevitable scramble for everyone to add him in fantasy.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

1043938718522867712

Efe Obada (from the UK) got a pick in his first ever NFL game.

[Giggles]

These rules on sacks are absolute bullshit. Make the players sign something and play the fucking game.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

1043945283057577984

Officially elevating his status from Lord to KING Justin Tucker.

[Giggles]

He's a kicker.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Peanut with a huge pick 6 :cool:

I think the points will get taken off due to an illegal block though.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

He's a kicker.

That's KING Kicker to you.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

lol at the ref falling over in the Saints/Falcons game.

[Gray Fox]

Saints forgetting to cover receivers against Jones and Ridley has been a bold strategy Cotton.

[Giggles]

That's KING Kicker to you.

Same thing. They shouldn't even be part of the game.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

How do those two defenders fuck up a tackle on Brees who is basically giving himself up? Fucking hell.

[niko_cee]

Epic tackling from Atlanta.

:D

[Dan]

Drew :cool:

Perfect amount of time left to lose to a FG though.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I like how the commentator is saying it was a spin move from Brees.

He probably doesn't even know how to do one ffs.

[Pleb]

1043945283057577984

He's a kicker.
:D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Taking out Luck for the hail mary :sherlock:

[Dan]

Drew's basically Lamar Jackson.

[Pleb]

Scenes if this is another tie :drool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Scenes if this is another tie :drool:

Neither team can defend the pass. I'd be stunned if there's not a winner.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Kamara deserved that, he's been great today.

Edit: Coming back ffs.

[Dan]

Drew Brees with two rushing TDs might be even more shocking than Buffalo stomping the Vikings.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Jimmy G with a possible ACL tear it seems.

[Dan]

McKinnon & Jimmy G, plus they almost lost Breida earlier in the game. Not having much luck in San Francisco.

[Giggles]

Garoppolo.

Wasn't he doing fairly shite this year anyway?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Garoppolo.

Wasn't he doing fairly shite this year anyway?

Had a shocker against the Vikings but was great against the Lions and good against the Chiefs.

[Giggles]

Did that idiot Chargers DB just run out with the interception and out of bounds at the 1? :D

[Dan]

Derwin James is such a beast.

Also worth pointing out that my boy Kyzir White has carved out a nice role for himself in the Chargers defence too. Just need Harold Landry & Duke Ejiofor to start racking up the sacks now.

[Giggles]

Did that idiot Chargers DB just run out with the interception and out of bounds at the 1? :D

He did the twat.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Did that idiot Chargers DB just run out with the interception and out of bounds at the 1? :D

Yeah, he must have thought he was still in the endzone.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

They just broke the punter.

[Giggles]

Yeah, he must have thought he was still in the endzone.

He's just brainless like all DB's, remember they're mostly receivers that couldn't learn routes in college.

EDIT: and it just part cost them a TD.

[Giggles]

Fucking hell Antonio Gates is still playing. What is he, about 45?

[Gray Fox]

McKinnon & Jimmy G, plus they almost lost Breida earlier in the game. Not having much luck in San Francisco.

Breida came back in. Looked like he jarred it.

I might re-offer that trade now :D

[Gray Fox]

I really hate them blowing offside/encroachment plays dead. Let the free play continue ffs.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Josh Rosen to make a 4th quarter comeback on his NFL debut :drool:

[Gray Fox]

Wow they must hate Bradford.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'm liking Earl 'Come and get me Jerry' Thomas shitting on the Cowboys here.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Rosen has that proper Eli Manning gormless look going on.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Yeah, he's gormless.

[Ian]

Weird set of results this week. Still, lol at the Patriots.

[Giggles]

Dunno what happened the Vikings.

[Giggles]

Never heard of Josh Allen before yesterday either.

[Giggles]

Mayfield is in.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000966169/article/hayes-tore-acl-while-avoiding-putting-weight-on-qb

Hayes tore his ACL whilst trying to avoid landing on the QB.

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000966154/article/falcons-safety-ricardo-allen-suffers-torn-achilles

Atlanta have lost Ricardo Allen (their second starting safety) for the year.

The NFL won't give a shit so long as it's not a QB that's injured.

[Giggles]

1044265496286093312

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Exactly.

[niko_cee]

It's also a bit far fetched to say he was injured trying to avoid landing on the QB, as shit as that new rule/directive is.

[Gray Fox]

Jimmy G confirmed deceased.

[niko_cee]

No more forcing (or tempting) the quarterback to attempt a cut.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Wilkerson too.

Also, Rosen is the starter and Chiefs want Earl Thomas.

[Gray Fox]

Jimmys was all on him. He had the yards and was going out of bounds. Went for a cut back to steal a few more and it went pop.

[Dan]

They should make a rule where the QB can declare ‘SCRAMBLE!’ when they want to run, then walk the ball to the point they think they would have got to.

[Dan]

Might be one just for Foe & me, but Kelly Bryant is transferring after Clemson announced Trevor Lawrence as their starter.

[Gray Fox]

Rishard Matthews has walked out on the Titans. He refuses to play when he's not targeted much or even on the field for large chunks.

Says he's on his couch until someone calls to get him off it.

[Dan]

Eric Reid has finally been signed. He’s gone to Carolina on a one year deal.

Kaepernick next, obviously.

[Dan]

Rishard Matthews has walked out on the Titans. He refuses to play when he's not targeted much or even on the field for large chunks.

He’s been released.

[Foe]

Might be one just for Foe & me, but Kelly Bryant is transferring after Clemson announced Trevor Lawrence as their starter.

Tricky one. Dabo obviously has faith in Trevor Lawrence? Wonder why? Sunshine has all the skills to be great in college and make the NFL.

Kelly leaving would be a big blow though. Guess he wants to keep that year of eligibility.

[bruhnaldo]

Trevor Lawrence was the #1 recruit in the country so I'm not too surprised.

[Foe]

Yeah. Boys got all the skills so can't keep that under wraps and happy.

[Gray Fox]

Two offences looking sharp so far. Lining up to be a great game.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'd suggest that the Rams actually cover Aldrick Robinson.

[Gray Fox]

Problem is, you then take someone off Diggs, Thielen or Rudolph.

Cracking game so far. Can't(I can really) believe there are empty seats.

[Limoutsonik]

Where are the weekly picks dammit?! (kidding)

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Jesus, what a throw and catch.

[Gray Fox]

All aboard the Pleb express. :moop:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Goff is fisting the Vikings.

[Gray Fox]

If they stay healthy they're winning it all this year. I don't see a weakness.

[Dan]

Well that looks to have been a cracking game.

[Giggles]

I just did the 13 minute Youtube highlights this morning, looked to be an exhibition of passing from both teams.

[Foe]

Great game, though.

Love a good shoot-out.

Xavier Rhodes did not look himself at all.

[Gray Fox]

We've been given a 2 week lesson on how to beat the Vikings though.

Don't bother running and chuck it loads.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Knowing the NFL though, they'll play lights out defence next week against the Eagles...

[Limoutsonik]

The weekly pick'ems mason,where are they?!

[Foe]

And as if by magic, Clemson are down by 9 at home to Syracuse, Lawrence is knocked out the game and the third string freshman is in to run the show.

Dan

[Dan]

And as if by magic, Clemson are down by 9 at home to Syracuse, Lawrence is knocked out the game and the third string freshman is in to run the show.

Dan

Heck of a game. Lawrence got himself in trouble by not just throwing the ball away or running out of bounds, but fair play to Chase Brice, he stepped up on that last drive & made the big plays when he had to. I do find it odd when a backup QB comes in & every play becomes a run or a 2yd pass - if you don't trust the guy to make a throw downfield, why have you recruited him? Defence got it together in the second half, and the run game was crushing it - Feaster & Ettienne is a really underrated RB pairing in my opinion.

[Dan]

Georgia are going to kick the everloving shit out of Tennessee here. Florida humped them & Florida are 20% as good as Georgia.

We could see three full quarters of Justin Fields.

Yep. Brice looked pretty nervy but Ettiene and Feaster just ate up the defence. Syracuse were gassed. Clemson were 25.5 point favourites in that in the spread. Backed the Cuse to keep it close in my accumulator, but unfortunately, Texas Tech are getting romped so it's moot.

Penn State v Ohio State later should be great. Got that set to record, so that can be my entertainment before the NFL tomorrow.

[Foe]

Annoyingly the best game on ESPN player is Florida State at Louisville, so my dual TV effort this week is pretty rubbish.

[Dan]

Isaac Nauta :cool:

[Foe]

Isaac Nauta :cool:

I thought he was a RT at first who'd fucked up and couldn't believe he was able to run it that well. He's a TE. Makes so much more sense.

Horrible TD to lose thought.

[Dan]

Tennessee are the college football Browns - every single thing they do is a complete mess & if they ever manage to do something right it still ends up going wrong.

EDIT: Random Naitch appearance :cool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fitz, Jones and Beckham are the only good options.

[Dan]

Rodrigo Blankenship :cool:

[Gray Fox]

Jags defence is worth grabbing.

Shame on him for ruining the league though.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Corey Coleman has been released from the Patriots practice squad. He might have to sell his shoe collection to keep in money.

Julio Jones is worth grabbing I hope? FitzMagic might be a steal. Jags as well.

[Foe]

Really close game in the Ohio State / Penn State game.

Cool to see the whiteout too.

Trace McSorely is an intriguing guy. He's not tall, he's not thick and sturdy and yet he just seems to be a winner. Loves taking off and ploughing through the secondary too. Suspect he'll get drafted late/priority free agent by someone who fancies seeing if they can bulk him up a bit and have him as a backup. Doug Flutie showed us wee guys can succeed, but doubt a team will give up a day 1 or 2 pick on him.

[Giggles]

Cobb being out is a blow. Though that's probably a sad reflection on the state of the offense currently.

[Dan]

He & McKenzie Milton are the next two off the short QB line in the next two drafts. I don't think either of them will end up going anywhere near where Baker went, but they can both play & they're both winners. I like Milton more than McSorley, but I definitely think they both deserve to get drafted & get an actual shot at a job.


Cobb being out is a blow. Though that's probably a sad reflection on the state of the offense currently.

Hopefully Allison & the rookies step it up, although you'd be surprised if Aaron Rodgers had a game like Cousins did against the Bills, so they could probably roll anyone out & still put points on the board.

[Pleb]

God the Bengals D is fucking garbage.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Colts :harold:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Brady might actually be done.

[Giggles]

Aaron Jones looks useful enough.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Khalil Mack is just so good.

Jimmy Graham handing Buffalo a turnover :face:

[Giggles]

And here we go again with the refs.

[Dan]

We're getting Jameis after half-time here, I would imagine.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

What a catch by Dorsett.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

We're getting Jameis after half-time here, I would imagine.

Yes, apparently Koetter almost pulled Fitz in the last game after his third pick.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Don't show the replay, Don't show the replay, Don't show the replay.

*Shows replay*

Eifert's ankle just blew up.

[Dan]

:sick:

Poor Tyler Eifert. That should really be him done now.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Jameis picked within 6 throws, I'm stunned.

Put Fitzmagic back in you nonces.

[Dan]

Welcome back Jameis :D

[Giggles]

Dix just absolutely levelled Benjamin. Down like a bag of shite.

I'm expecting to go back after the break to some flags the way this year is going.

[Dan]

That was a great play. Made the interception too.

[Giggles]

That was a great play. Made the interception too.

Strange it was Dix too as he's normally afraid of contact.

[Giggles]

Rodgers had made some really poor throws today. Never gets called on it.

[Dan]

The Lions deserve to lose for letting Zeke rack up 200yds on them when he's their only good player on offence.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I hate the Raiders pitch so much.

Fuck baseball.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Luck :drool:

[Dan]

Atlanta :cool:

Their record continues to be shit when Julio goes over 100yds.

Here comes the Baker backlash...

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

What a shit call by the Browns that was.

Titans :drool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

How does Corey Davis catch that after dropping an open pass?

[Giggles]

It was a fairly routine jump ball.

Still harder than 90% of his drops tbh.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

What a throw by Rosen.

[Dan]

That's a great throw by my boy Josh, but I'm not sure it's a TD.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Oh Hopkins, that's a drop for him.

[Dan]

The Chargers :harold: Turns out they're nothing without Bosa.

Georgia rookie RBs running wild today.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Clowney and Watt are mean.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'm not surprised by Lynch's anger.

Some refs are far too quick to call forward progress dead.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Colts :harold:

Losing > tying it seems.

[Dan]

Yeah, I'm not a fan of that idea.

The whistle blowing and the Colts giving up the game for no reason.

[Foe]

Antonio Gates is so, so out of shape.

How on earth is he still playing? Looks like he should be an offensive lineman.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

He's only playing because Hunter Henry blew out his knee.

Chargers cut him (and he had no offers) and they decided to pick him back up again.

[Foe]

The Saints have a ridiculous set of talent at QB.

Brees, Bridgewater and Taysom Hill. Taysom Hill could legit be listed as a RB, LB or QB on the depth chart. He's just a swiss army knife. Odd, given half his career at BYU was spent on the injury list. And he spent about 6 or 7 years in college too...

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Martavis Bryant :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Dan]

As much as you have to lol at Martavis there, Derek Carr gives him the throw Tyrod gave Antonio Callaway last week & Goff gave Brandin Cooks the week before. Must have been about five yards short of where he needed to put it - Martavis had to come to a complete stop, turn around & try to pick it off the floor.

He does kick returns & coverage too.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That roughing the passer penalty :face:

[Foe]

He does kick returns & coverage too.

All for an undrafted free agent salary too I'd guess. I reckon a good proportion of his cash will be NFL performance related bonuses. He's in for a fair amount of snaps and on a low salary so should pick up some nice change.

Having google it a bit further I'd retract that. He'll get some, but it won't be a lot. Probably make up 10-15% of his earnings. Bit of a steal for a play maker.

[Dan]

Poor Josh Rosen :D Bobby Wagner is a meanie.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Browns QBs are 2-26-1 in their first starts for the team.

Browns were robbed on a first down late in the 4th that would have sealed the game too.

Not to mention the strip sack and recovery that they blew dead the millisecond Carr got touched.

Shhh, it was a clean uncontroversial victory.

I didn’t notice at the time, but Harold Landry came up with the sack fumble for the Titans yesterday (https://www.titansonline.com/video/harold-landry-forces-wentz-to-fumble-for-titans-recovery). Just casually mugging off Lane Johnson, a top five OT in football :cool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Famous Jameis back as starter.

What a knob Koetter is, he never believed in magic.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

How the bollocks is there no parking at Wembley available to book bar for coaches or 'off-site' spots which are probably 30 minutes away?

Yet I can easily book parking for tomorrow for Spurs/Barcelona.

[niko_cee]

I wouldn't think many Spurs fans drive to the game, whereas I would imagine a lot of NFL fans would.

Either that or all of the car parks are given over to 'tailgating'.

Last year I parked in the multistorey.

Terrible slate of games today. Even on espn player the options were poor. No red river rivalry is a disappointment. Might watch lsu v Florida at half 8 though.

Tried to watch the bama game. Thought I was watching the kick off. Nope. Bama had 7 points after 30 seconds, which I missed.

Mon the shootout.

[Foe]

Texas knocking off Oklahoma too. :drool:

Opens up the top 4 again, post Ohio state and bama.

Clemson, Georgia, notre dame, penn state, lsu all in the hunt.

[Dan]

It's Alabama, Clemson, Georgia & Ohio State, and unless one of the others goes unbeaten I can't see that changing without something big happening. Oklahoma would've been 5 on my list til now, but now you're probably looking at LSU being there if they win this one.

Now I'm trying to think what my rankings would be :D

EDIT: Think I could just about cobble together a shaky top 20.

1. Alabama

It's Alabama, Clemson, Georgia & Ohio State, and unless one of the others goes unbeaten I can't see that changing without something big happening. Oklahoma would've been 5 on my list til now, but now you're probably looking at LSU being there if they win this one.

Now I'm trying to think what my rankings would be :D

EDIT: Think I could just about cobble together a shaky top 20.

Clemson are one shaky game from Trevor Lawrence away from a loss so they are very lucky they play tat for the most part.

I hope notre dame / penn state are in the conversation by the end. Can't see anyone beating bama though. Best case would be the Clemson front seven snapping tua and jalen throwing a duck (again).

Georgia and Auburn seem like they've gotten worse this year. Wisconsin bottled it against BYU too, so they're gubbed.

West Virginia could take Clemson down, but they'd be completely dismantled by Georgia or bama or Ohio state.

[Foe]

At what point does saban get bored at bama though?

Or is he going to be content riding the tagovailoa name to another 3 or 4 rings?

[Dan]

Belichick will retire when Brady does, then Saban will take over & lead them to another decade of glory.

Didn't watch most of the second quarter, but if LSU have been moving the ball two yards at a time the way they have to start Q3 then it's no wonder they were trailing at half-time. Not sure why they've decided to go back to the 2017 Matt Canada offence that was a complete shitshow, but they need to fuck it off fast.

[Dan]

Seriously, do LSU only run jet sweeps, play action, inside runs or screens?

"My understanding is that Le'Veon Bell is expected to come back in a few weeks, and his focus right now is coming back for the Steelers and putting up numbers for them rather than another team," Rapoport said. "The Steelers have openly been trying to trade him. They've been receiving some phone calls, they've also been making some phone calls. No firm offers yet, but they have had some conversations.

"For Le'Veon Bell there would be some negatives there. He'd have to come in, learn the new offense, he may not exactly look like himself. My understanding is he would have to be convinced that being traded would be beneficial to him, and that is something he is not inclined to do. In other words, Le'Veon wants to be play for the Steelers this year."

Bell wants to play for the Steelers this year by not playing for them.

It's not like he has a choice though. If he doesn't play at all, then the cunts can just keep franchising him and not count this season. It's better for him to play in a system he knows to put himself properly in the 'shop window' and get maximum value as a free agent, then to be traded to the Jets and do fuck all and then try and negotiate a deal there.

I'd imagine that a trade target would give him a massive contract as soon as he's on the team though.

If you make a big trade for him (which it would be) they wont want him walking in the offseason.

This is the reason he hasn't gone yet. If he's traded he still hits FA before he negotiates.

He only needs to be there for 6 weeks to accrue his season. So he can come back week 7, when the steelers have a bye, only play 5 weeks and then either feign injury or walk and be a free agent the next year.

Can see why players like that do holdouts though. An earl Thomas injury or a matt Barkley acl and their career value is tanked. Particularly for a RB, no way Le'veon risks injury (more than he has to) until he gets paid what he's willing to accept.

I don't really get the rule though. Surely it should be if you're tagged and don't want to play you sit the season, get zero money and reach free agency. The deterrent being sacrificing a season. Seems mental that the league has the players so far over a barrel. The CBA really isn't that player friendly.

[Giggles]

It's hard lines when Geronimo Allison is a loss.

[Pleb]

I have Frank Gore as a flex in TTH Dynasty.

What could possibly go wrong?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Alex Collins is so good when he's not fumbling the ball.

[Pleb]

Have the Steelers and/or Falcons woke up yet?

[Pleb]

The Bills are leading a football game :|

[Giggles]

The Bills are leading a football game :|

They hammered the Vikings two weeks ago.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Tavon Young :cool:

We love playing rookie QBs.

[Giggles]

I suppose I should be used to the referees shafting Green Bay on a weekly basis by now.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

The Giants :D

Amazing stuff.

[Giggles]

Rodgers is either trying to get McCarthy fired or he's done.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

The Steelers special teams coach looks like he's chewing a whole packet of gum.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Steel jaw.

[Gray Fox]

Beckham should be the Giants QB.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Mason Crosby :D

[Gray Fox]

Watching a man get cut, live.

[Giggles]

Watching a man get cut, live.

They're so conservatice they won't cut him. This happened a few years back too when he had a few nightmares and they didn't.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Bortles :D

[Gray Fox]

The fuck was that from Big Ben?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fuck Denzel Ward.

[Giggles]

It's fucking lol at this stage :D

Rodgers :face:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Bortles lobbing it at a lineman's head for the second interception :D

[Gray Fox]

Not a good week to be facing the Chiefs D. Need some points on the board from the Jags.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

ffs, I thought Buck Allen had sorted his fumbling issues.

We're losing this.

[Giggles]

The Browns should be handed two wins against the Ravens every year without playing by default. Call them the Modell Bowls.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Brother Eli and Bortles are back.

[Dan]

I was so tempted to pick Buffalo, KC & Detroit this week :moop:

[Giggles]

Packers went for two after the first two touchdowns. Crosby just hit the extra point attempt off the post no good after the third :D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

This is some performance by Crosby.

[Dan]

He just crumbles if he misses a couple, doesn't he? :D

The Denver run defence appears to have gone on strike today.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Great when a kicker even misses the net.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Why are they letting Crosby take a 56 yarder? :D

[Giggles]

Crosby misses another FG.

[Dan]

It's just kinda sad now.

[Dan]

Lol at Courtland Sutton ruining that half arsed Jets INT return at the 1

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Barkley is an animal.

[Giggles]

Nice from Gano.

[Dan]

Has the Ravens/Browns game been as much of a mess as it looks?

Running a reverse to ROD FUCKING STREATER inside their own red zone :D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Getting donned by some UDFA called Willies :uhoh:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That was nice by Wagner to tip the ball up.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

He fucked the kick and still got it in :(
