Pleased with both our running game and defense last night, but our passing game looks woeful. Receivers unable to find space on their routes, with the most seasoned (Gronk) being in double coverage every down.
Thankfully Jules is back this week, so hopefully that adds a bit more potency.
Yeah, a win is a win I suppose. It doesn't feel like it though. That's the heartbeat of the defence gone. Time for this Thompson guy to step up, lots of talk that he's the best player on the defence in training.Quote:

Pleased but gutted about the Broncos on Monday. Pleased we played well and ran them close but gutted we couldn't stop Mahomes. That guy is unreal.
First play... Brady to Edelman. 9 yards.
Not pretty on turnovers
Some crappy turnovers and a garbage time td given up but a good performance from the Patriots and we're on to 3-2
I really like our 2 primary RBs - Michel looks like he'll be a superstar, and James White is SO effective as a catching back.
We looked good last night - at full strength, we look back to being a formidable team: Jules, Gronk, Hogan, Gordan and White all got good receptions last night, but some basic handling errors - Hogan, Edelman and Gronk all messed up easy plays.
What a terrible night to take Gronk over Ebron in my fantasy team though :greengrin
Pretty Boy, can you drop me a PM please? Doesn't let me pm you from my phone apparently.
Giants and Jags must draft or trade for a QB

Add the Dolphins to that list.Quote:

Broncos poor this week. We were ok against the chiefs last week too.

I'm watching Jags at Chiefs on that sky rewind thing. Bortles is bad. Really bad. Makes Tannehill looks like Joe Montana. I'm waiting until Kansas play a decent team before getting excited about their chances.
If they can get a decent QB in next year's draft they'll be deadly!Quote:

A mate has a spare ticket for Seahawks v Raiders this weekend if anyone is interested?
Touching moment to see Drew Brees’ kids on the sideline to witness his milestone, surely a moment they won’t forget! Not every day your dad is a legend in his workplace and you can witness it [emoji122]
Toe curling cheeziness if you ask me:greengrin Kids off the grass :grr:Quote:

Perfect scenario; Lynch 250 yard rushing, 3 TD beast mode performance, Hawks win 24-21.
Can someone just put Brock Osweiler out his misery. Played ok, false sense of security as he throws 2 pitiful interceptions in 2 consecutive drives either side of HT. Osweiler v the Bears defence is like leading a lamb to the slaughter.
Is he still getting paid by the Texans. He definitely was when he went back to Denver.
Some game in Miami.
7-0 Dolphins at HT. Currently trading TDs on just about every possesion and it's 28-28 with 3 minutes to play.
And aside from his couple of minutes of madness Osweiler has done ok.
Forced fumble for the Bears. Dolphins recover with 1.52 to play. There's nothing this game hasn't had.
**** sake. 3rd and goal on the 1 yard line in OT and Kenyan Drake drops the ball. Meanwhile Frank Gore, arguably one of the most trustworthy guys in the league in such a position, is sitting on the sideline.
And the ending doesn't disappoint.
Bears miss a 50 yard FG attempt to win it. Dolphins get to 47 yards, no timeouts, spike the ball after running the clock to 3 seconds and Jason Sanders hits his 1st game winning FG.
Great game of football and resilient stuff from a depleted Dolphins team. A patched up O line are the 1st to not give up a sack to the league leaders on that front and Gore was the 1st 100 yard rusher against the Bears this season.
Our 3rd down defence is so poor.
