Wow game of the season so far:flag:
Patriots finally trade out Jimmy Garropollo but I didn’t think he’d end up at the 49rs [emoji44]

And for a 2nd round pick too.Quote:

It now leaves us with no backup of note, having traded away Brissett earlier in the off-season.
Is Brady going to play until he's 50 or something? We need to be told.
He's one hit away from his career being over, and we've literally no backup QB just now - Brissett and now Garoppolo gone.
Kaepernick to New England...?
Jay Ajayi to Phili WTF!!!
They might go all the way!
Big chance now,Ajayi will be a beast in that offenseQuote:

Rumours are that Ajayi has knee issues but still... That's a trade!
Kaepernick and Tebow to come back to drive us to six! :hyperQuote:

Perhaps Ajayi falls into that category?Quote:

Ajayi seems like a good trade, the Eagles are going all the way!! Elliot's suspension means that the division should be all but sealed now. Mind you it is the eagles so I'm not counting any chickens, we could lose the next 8.
That would make sense if Ajayi is a poor influence or whatever, but why not go for a trade for a player that will help your season now? Getting a 4th round pick is poor return on a player as good as him at any time, but seven games in it's also tantamount to giving up on this season. They're only a couple of games off the division leaders. I just can't understand it.Quote:

... and I feel the same about the panthers moving on their best receiver to Buffalo. Why disrupt the team dynamic when your season is still very much alive?? Great move for the Bills though.
Brian Hoyer back at the Patriots
WTF are we doing?! Hoyer is garbage!Quote:

Great news for you lot though. Everytime a divisional rival actually starts to look strong they find a way to **** it up for themselves. I was starting to think the Bill's were the real deal.Quote:

I kinda hope the Eagles win the Superbowl this year, because he won't dare celebrate!

Edit... On another point, there's a lot on social media about getting rid of Thursday night football, that it's threatening players safety. There were 12 injuries on both sides last night, a lot of them serious. Could it be because of lack of physical preparation? Not sure I know the answer.
I wouldn't mind if they got it rid of it to be honest - I don't think I've watched a Thursday night game in the entire time I've been following the NFL (unless I was in the US), and that includes games we've been involved in.Quote:

Thursday nights get around 14 million, Sunday 16 million and Monday 10million.

Especially if, like the Nfl, money is the motivation for everything.Quote:

I think Rodgers has been masking some pretty big issues with the team, the Defence has been awful for years, a poor O-Line and half the team appears to be made from glass. Rodgers being injured has exposed so much.Quote:

What a week to have my faith restored in Mark Ingram! 31 fantasy points! :greengrin
The giants lost to the 49ers.
Wow.
And the Patriots keep marching on.
Great win on the road last night. Denver REALLY need to find a QB who can throw the football though - having said that, Osweiler linked up well with Sanders a few times.
It seemed to click on all sides of the football for us last night - I can't decide if we've finally fixed whatever was going horrendoulsy wrong early doors, or if Denver are really just THAT bad.
Saints were amazing last night. Most complete game I have seen us play in years.
Oh and Im heading over on friday. Cant wait! Row 4 seats in the Dome!
Here we go, 8 in a row!
I’m well jel [emoji4] have a great time!Quote:

What's wow about it? Giants are a mess. MacAdoo is never a head coach. He was given the job with zero experience. The players have quit on him and he'll be fired at the seasons end, if not before. The maras rarely if ever bin a coach mid season but they just might. Jerry Reece will be gone too. Not a moment too soon.Quote:

Yup. Except they just made a trade for a genuine QB prospect. Ergo fired a rocket up the current incumbent. They were at home. Facing the most lackluster Offence in the league where other than Engram the recievers are all practise squad scrubs. The defense had 51 points hung on them the week before by the Rams at home and have had numerous problems with players being suspended and clearly quitting.Quote:

Big Ben and the Steelers dancing with the possibility of a superbowl this year?
Kam Chancellor out for the season now as well. Im not sure I can remember a team getting so decimated by injuries to star players. Get your money on Atlanta over Seattle Monday night.
Few weeks in and Hundley still looks like deer in the headlights and taking way too many sacks. Probably see out the season and if he doesn't improve get rid.
3 turnovers from Cutler today after his idiocy last week just before the half cost us any chance of a win.
Guys an absolute wage thief who isn't even putting up a pretence at being interested.
That saints TD :aok:
That catch by the Giants receiver!!
Yep. Completely uninterested.Quote:

The Seahawks game was fun to watch but the coach is in the dog house. Loved the wee shovel pass instead of kicking a field goal and the 2 pointer TD in desperation time.
Pete Carroll has won it all in college and pros so it's hard to criticise. However, It was a strange play call with the clock running down, I can't envisage how a shovel pass to a stationary player directly in front of onrushing linemen trying to block a field goal is going to get you a touchdown very often, during practice or in a game situation!
But we competed better than I thought.
He seems to have problems when it comes to big calls in close, high-stakes games.Quote:

I think what's evident is we have zero chance of being competitive in the playoffs, if we even get there. Russells having a MVP season but he can't do it being great on his own; we don't have great defence, a great running game or great coaching at present. Although we have just cleared a roster spot, apparently there could be a surprise signing in the pipeline...
Passing the ball on the 1 yard line was genius in my opinion.Quote:
