They've looked excellent against poor opposition so far but it will be interesting to see how they get on next weekend against a better team.Quote:

They’ll score points against everyone as the offence is so fast and explosive, and Tua looks like an established top QB this season.
Signs of the defence showing what they’ve been well-known for in recent years, while there’s room for improvement.
Players to return and a great start (2 road games out the way with Ws). It will be a different test against the Bills but an exciting season ahead and I’m in no doubt we can mix it with anyone.

The big difference from last year is having something on the ground. Last year it was always going to be across the middle or looking for the deep ball. Yesterday we only called 26 pass plays. It kept the Broncos guessing and they couldn't utilise their blitz which they love to do.Quote:

Bigger test on Sunday but it's set up to be a great game. I started following the Dolphins in 1998 so missed the vast majority of the Marino era, barring a season with Chad Pennington under centre this is the first time there has been any real feeling that we are on the right track, I'm going to enjoy the ride.

Would’ve been a cracking way to round off a great ‘alternative sport’ Sunday with the NRL final, L’arc, and Ryder cup climax beforehand!
A bit of a hambling for the Pack last night. I think we're going to have to take the ups and downs while these guys find their feet.
Oh.. apparently we are on live! Good stuffQuote:

Pity our defence has looked like a community college set up in the 1st half.Quote:

What a game between Texas and Oklahoma this evening.
Go Lions!!!
Are you listening yet?
Devon Achane looked the real deal for the Dolphins. The most excited I have been about a running back since we had Ricky Williams and that wasn't yesterday.
Lions look a serious team this year. Pleased for Dan Campbell, always liked him.
Stanford have given me dick to cheer about this season really but that comeback last night was Pats v Falcons esque!
Jets beat Philly Eagles for the first time in their franchise history :greengrin 20-14
their defence was brilliant
Why have Tennessee got Oilers branding today? I get that Houston moved to Tennessee years ago but franchises moving is nothing new so just wondering why the nod today?
only watched this Giants/Jets game because it was a derby but my goodness it has been absolutely awful, constant rain hasn't helped though, 15 punts in the 1st half alone and with just 3 mins remaining 22 overall, most in the NFL for over 20 years, Jets have given away 85 yards in penalties with a couple of them you just wouldn't believe they were pro's
two min warning and it's 10-7 Giants
if jets coach had hair he would have torn the lot out by the end of this game
zach wilson sacked yet again
NY's Gano misses his 2nd FG of the game with 23 secs remaining
1 second remaining jets tie it with a 35 yard FG
overtime coming up
commentator "one of the ugliest best games you'll ever see" :greengrin
jets 33 yard FG to win it.......... jets win:greengrin
Most teams have a 'throwback' kit they wear a couple of times a season. Dolphins were in ours today as well with the old (proper) logo.Quote:

after 8 years and 16 straight defeats against the Chiefs Broncos finally beat them 24-9
Taylor wasn't there to watch it
Packers win 3-20 against Rams after a four game losing streak to go 3-5, tough schedule ahead though
looking forward to this Dallas cowboys @ Philly Eagles
CJ Stroud marches his team up the field with 46 seconds (and 2 time outs) for a game winning touchdown, also breaking Andrew Luck’s record for a rookie throwing yardage.
Looked very poised and in control, especially for a rookie
Final
Philly Eagles 21 Kansas city Swifties 17 :)
Wanted to watch this but was way to late to stay up.Quote:

Swift looked very good running and just shows the options we have i don't think AJ got much of a look in with most going to Smith.
Eagles’ ability to find wins in big games where they don’t play anywhere near their best (vs Cowboys and Chiefs) looks really ominous for the rest imo.Quote:

Chiefs haven’t convinced me at all so far. Obviously Mahomes is top notch but he could really do with having some better receivers. There’s really not much there for him when Kelce is either dealt with defensively or not quite on his game.
I stayed up and watched the game, wasn’t a flowing classic but was still absolutely riveting viewing, a fairly attritional game. NFL is quite weird in that I think I prefer watching the slogs to the high scoring games.
Q1 v Lions is an up. Let’s see what happens next. They’re not dull, at any rate!Quote:

I can’t help but hear Dak’s “here we gooooooo”
Every. Single. Snap.
The Jets must be the stupidest team in football. They have all but beat themselves tonight, easy to see why they can't put any offensive points on the board.
That pick 6 tonight was absolutely epic.Quote:

I do enjoy watching the Dolphins although it looked like that pitch claimed another Achilles tonight which won’t have helped them any.

that game could well prove to be a preview for Superbowl
