Season pretty much done for us now. Just let Drew get the shoulder better. No sense to rush him back.

Team played better than I expected yesterday. Had a real chance at the end until the poor decision to throw the long ball to the endzone when we still had one a minute to get down those 40 yards.

Bit disappointed with that especially considering the Jags game has the Ohio State marching band coming over.

I think I read somewhere the lack of pre game show was to do with 'normalising' the IS games to make them more like a regular Sunday game, potentially in preparation for a London franchise.

Aye I read pretty much the same thing. I'm down for the Chiefs Lions game and there's not even a fan rally or anything the day before. The rugby World Cup final is on the Saturday so could be partly to do with that but most of the noise is that it is to make it seem like less of a one off occasion.

Apart from all those bloody dolphin flags, had a cracking day and been a good weekend all round :)

Was a good day - just a shame it was such a poor game really. Threatened to break into a good game a couple of times but deary me, the Dolphins were awful! Blowing the first of the 4 efforts to score whilst in the Red Zone, drawing the penalty for pass interference in the end zone and getting another four downs and blowing them too was endemic of their offense for the day.

Ended up sitting beside a group of 6 New Yorkers (firemen too and great guys) and we had a superb chat for the full game. There was some good banter when they found out I was a New England fan but it was all really nicely spirited and we're going to keep in touch via email now. Heroes and gentlemen to boot.

[DH1875]

Yeah, wasnt great. Miami were poor and we aren't gonna get anywhere with out QB's :( Still a great time had by all and cant wait till next time. Hopefully it'll be in New York though :)

Joe Philbin sacked as Miami head coach.

Correct decision imo. He seems a decent guy but is way out his depth as a HC.

it was indeed a mistake by the officials, although the ball was bouncing out of the back of the end zone anyway before Wright batted it, so it wasn't as if we would have gained an advantage by him batting it out. If he'd have left it alone it still would have been a touchback Seahawks ball.

We looked very good in most areas last night, Russell made some unbelievable plays, the defense didn't concede a TD for the second week in a row, but our O Line is a total shambles. Even worse than last season. It'll be interesting to see how Marshawn does without decent blocking next week when he returns from injury.

t's been night and day since Kam came back. He's the most intimidating player in the whole league IMO. Our problem is, our 'strategy' is to pay big bucks to keep our star players and fill the rest of the roster with hungry players who are paid relatively peanuts. Those hungry players are now becoming established players. So players like Kam, who was a lower round pick and signed on a modest contract but is now a genuine All Pro, look at Sherman and Earl Thomas and think 'is that guy really worth ten times what I get paid?'. (And our O Line is full of players who are there cos they're basically cheap, and it shows. Russell is going to get an injury soon the way he's getting banged about).

Like anything else, it's only a good strategy when it works!

A college team, who should I pick? I've been watching college football for the best part of a year now and really want a team to support properly. My NFL team is the Dolphins so I picked the U for the Miami connection but I'm not really getting into them, not least because I can rarely find them on UK tv. A guy in my work is a big Florida State fan and travels over to see them at least once a season and I quite like them but again I just can't quite get into them.

I know it's not totally neccessary to have a team but it does make things more interesting. Any suggestions?

Bit late in the day but the Miami vs Florida State game is on TV live at the moment. Going into halftime and FSU are up by 10. How about the Gators?

Oregon are good to watch but they are usually on 2 or 3 in the morning and I would say the same for Cal. Some of the SEC teams are good to watch like LSU or Ole Miss and get regular uk coverage. Then You have the likes of Alabama, Taxas A&M which are a good watch as well not to mention the Gators who are usually all right. Other teams who get regular coverage seem to be Ohio st, Michigan, Michigan st and Wisconsin.

I get the feeling this is still a league that anything can happen in and although both our offense and defense have looked good early doors, our lack of depth troubles me.

Watched the Michigan game last night and I know it's probably not on but that ending was great. It's game winning or losing monents like that that make sport worth watching every bit as much as individual brilliance imo.

Miami already looking slightly better post Philbin. Pity the seasons already a total write off. Again.

Suicidal stuff from McCown there for the Browns.

If Manziel could stay out of trouble he must be worth an extended run?

Actually running the ball and playing out the gun to give RT a bit time is paying dividends thus far. 2 rushing TDs in a half compared to not a single one the rest of the season.

Another Miami touchdown.

Ok it's only the Titans but all the same...

[Sylar]

Ah, my fantasy team are just immense this year - DeAngelo Williams has rushed for -1 yard tonight (my regular RBs are both on bye weeks!), my TE and Brandin Cooks amassed 7 points between them, A.J. Green is having a quiet night too...thank **** for Erick Decker having a reasonable outing for the Jersey Jets.

[Pretty Boy]

A 97 yard drive from Miami for a touchdown, including a 40 yard bomb from Tannehill out our own end zone, to lead 31-10. Somebody pinch me I must be dreaming.

He was picking us apart between the 2 20 yard lines but couldn't do it in the red zone, Packers injury problems showed last night, glad it's the bye week.

It looks like you are playing decent but the defence is too soft.

[Sylar]

I was really hoping we would have hammered Indy last night but the win was the most important thing. Pleased we've navigated two very tricky road trips and back to Foxborough...sadly, that's against a red-hot Jets team right now who's defense will undoubtedly be the toughest we've faced yet!

Just spied that the regular season doesn't finish til January this year - were we later starting this season :confused: Usually the games are done just before/after Christmas.

That was a good Sunday of football, loved seeing the panthers come back at Seattle.
Big game tonight, once again feels like the season is on the line to go 0-3 in the division would be a disaster.

Expecting you guys to win quite comfortably to be honest. Very surprised at our start to the season and honestly thought we'd finish the season bottom of the division with another losing record. Think when I looked at it I had us winning 4 games all season. We've already done that so anything else will be a bonus :greengrin.

[DH1875]

We've all seen the moaning on the main board about the media, radio and TV coverage when it comes to Hibs. ESPN/BT Sports seem to know what their doing though as yet again they have the Buckeyes game live on the telly :thumbsup:. Have to admit, it really feels strange following the number 1 ranked team for a change :greengrin.

(Game is a totall non event though, 14-0 midway through the first half)

Buckeyes up 21-0 at half time. As I said earlier, total non event :rolleyes:.

Did well to hold them to a FG there. Jets looking pretty sharp, especially on 3rd down!

Saints hammering the Colts at their own place.

Think that'll be an important challenge from us as Decker was down and slid to where the ball was spotted.

[Sylar]

I feel a Jets challenge coming for the exact same thing of a mis-spotted ball...

That'll be another easy overturn. Officials have been pretty poor so far - can't believe that hit on Edelmen wasn't called but instead we were penalised for holding. Crown of the helmet is a total no-no and he laid him out!

[Gatecrasher]

I think they look like a team that's going to tank this year, there doesn't seem to be much of a team spirit, they have lost a star player and their QB's are about average.

I also think a lot of the F-bombs aren't needed.

I was surprised by how bad Miami were last night. I know they've had their ups and downs this year but they were pitiful last night.

I think it's a bit of a disservice to suggest the other teams in the AFC East aren't tough - sure, we beat New York last week but it was far from easy and they'll be a tough road trip around Christmas.

[Pretty Boy]

Big wake up call for Miami last night.

We have improved from the opening 3 or 4 weeks no doubt but beating the Texans and Titans is one thing, playing an in form Pats side quite another. Offense just never got going at all and the defence put up a fight but were picked apart.

Hopefully someone can beat NE sometime soon and get rid of that unbeaten record!

@ Denver

I fancy those in red will be losses but the rest of our schedule is certainly quite friendly.

The seasons not halfway through yet, way too early to be talking unbeaten. They've not played a team with more than 4 wins yet, the Jets are the best team they've played. Packers Panthers Bengals Broncos all still unbeaten; the Broncos with that defense in particular look very strong.

My fantasy team agrees :greengrin

I see the number of games we're going to get on an annual basis is set to increase in the next few years - in addition to Wembley and the new White Hart Lane, Twickenham has also been granted the rights to host games from next year, hosting a minimum of 3 regular season games over three years (not sure if that means 3 games every year or 1 game average per year). Wembley will continue to host a minimum of 2 games, Spurs new stadium will host 2 games from 2018 and now Twickenham, meaning we could have the equivalent of a home-team season being played out in London. A final trial for the installation of a permanent team?

The broncos destroyed The Pack on SNF, I have to be honest and say I thought the broncos looked awful until they played us. Their pass rush was too much for the O/L and Rodgers had jo chance to get things going and on to Carolina to play another undefeated team next week.

Overrated loudmouth. Disruptive figure in the Whiners dressing room, not scored a TD for a season and a half. Kam Chancellor knocking him into next week is a great view on YouTube :aok:
