Good shout whoever it was that was that predicted great things from Derek Carr this season. Raiders look like a decent shout for a wc.

Boy did Rex Ryan enjoy beating the Jets last night! Also, sending out a former Jets player as a Buffalo captain last night? Showed himself to be the total prick we all know he is :agree:
I like Ryan. He's funny.
No offence to either team but it was poor fare last night. I was trying to watch Revis against Watkins as much as possible (is it too much to ask to have a red button type system to choose which areas if the field to watch?Its not like the league and the broadcasters dont have the money to invest in something like that.) McCoy was good behind an excellent line. Apart from that it looked like a college game.
Another ****ing safety against Miami. Tannehill fumbles in the end zone.
Twice in 2 weeks.
Ooft, what an interception by the Dolphins
And there's the game.
What a joke the eagles are. Clear out needed starting with Chip. Losing to a god awful dolphins team.

Surprised it took this long for Bradford to get injured.
*yawn* did the patriots win again?
Phew...
That was a lot tougher than it needed to be!
Catch rule is a joke, really needs to be cleared up in the offseason, didn't expect to win but coming that close makes it worse!
That Beckham catch though. That boy is incredible. Probably my favourite player in the league after Revis.
A hard fought win for the Pats, but the injuries continue to mount up, and right now they are the only things that could stop the Pats. Huge play by Butler to deny that late TD for Beckham, Absolutely the correct call upon review to rule it as incomplete.
After that clutch kick, I have a man crush on Gostkowski, not often he has to make kicks like that, but if it came down to it, I'd trust him to make it
Embarrasing week for the Saints. Ryan really has to go. Defence is a shambles.
Bad two weeks for us in spite of the wins - losing Dion last week was bad enough but losing Edelman this week is huge for us.
He's to undergo surgery this week and so might be back for the playoffs (assuming we don't capitulate our lead).
Obviously I am delighted with the decision but, and maybe I need to watch this again, it looked very close to me. The ball did come out but I thought he had his second foot down briefly before the ball came out? I would have thought that as soon as that second foot makes contact with the ground, it's a reception. I don't like all the rules. A player can dive through the end zone and clip the pylon = touchdown. Meanwhile, a player can catch a ball, get one foot down, then another foot down at the same point as the ball comes loose...and that's not a touchdown.
EDIT: OK, I understand it better now but I still don't like the rule. After he has secured the ball he has to have two feet contact the ground AND THEN he has to perform some action to establish himself as a runner e.g., turn to run up the field, brace yourself for a tackle, etc. He didn't do any of that. He got the ball and as soon as his second foot came down the ball was knocked loose. Why I don't like that is why does a receiver have to establish themself as a runner when they are already in the end zone?
Still love the call though. >:-)
It looked to me like he was in control when the second foot came down and during it, if it was on the corner of the end zone it would have been a TD
He was, and that's what I was thinking too. However, even though he put his second foot down he did not maintain possession while completing a football move (which is required to establish yourself as a runner). If that happened in the corner of the end zone, same result - no TD. It's OK to be pushed out of the end zone afterward, just as long as you maintain possession of the ball. If you have already established yourself as a runner in the end zone, then the ball gets knocked out of your hands, that's a TD. If you get forced out of bounds, that's a TD also. As long as you've established yourself as a runner in the end zone, anything can happen and it's still a TD. The key is the bit I've bolded above.
When did BBC2 start doing a highlights package? Just noticed it's about to start :confused:.
