NFL (since 2016)

"Free agency started last night and was pretty crazy some huge money being spent. Osweiler getting £18m a year for the Texans, leaving the Broncos without a QB, Giants have spent a fortune on good but not great players, Oliver Vernon has more guaranteed money than JJ Watt. lots more deals but cant be bothered to list them all."

[Takashi Miike]

"all this bollocks about him needing a year to learn plays. he has a rocket arm and great vision, he's also better than taylor"

[crystal falace]

"Tyrod Taylor getting hurt was a touch of luck for the Browns as he was playing terribly but Hue Jackson would have never pulled him from the game. Mayfield completely changed the game, if he'd have started the season they'd probably be 3-0 right now. If anyone listens to the around the NFL podcast, check out their twitter feed, one of their guys predicted this game 3 weeks ago and was absolutely spot on with every detail, was very good."

The Browns finally win with the added bonus of the TD scorers for each half also being the only 2 men who are backable for both teams.

"Has there been a worse primetime game in recent memory than the fucking Jets Vs Browns tonight! If the browns can't get a win here I could see there season spiralling out of control again and another awful season, such a shame as people had high hopes for them and the kicker has cost them in both of their first 2 games."

"Mike agreed and crystal, yes, it's the NFL covering their arses against lawsuits"

[crystal falace]

"Gets to a point where they have to just accept that this is a violent game, the people playing it know what they're getting into. I understand them doing everything they can to limit the hits to the head after all the trouble they're in with concussions and all the lawsuits, but other than that just let the gown men go out there and see who's bigger, faster & stronger."

[Takashi Miike]

"cough, McMahon's struggled for years now with his health, in particular early on set dementia brought on by neck and head injuries. its another reason to watch the bears 85 doc, where it covers his life now"

[Takashi Miike]

.......and im all for harsher penalties on cunts who blatantly attempt to harm other players but marginal calls when pursuing a QB will ruin the game

[Far Cough]

God know how refs of today would react to the Packers Charles Martin's BRUTAL body slam to the Bears QB Jim McMahon? Now that's what roughing the passer is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wilIF30NLRU

[Takashi Miike]

making it a non contact sport will kill it

[Far Cough]

"The NFL has agreed with the ref and is sending a video of that play to all clubs on what NOT to do Like I said, it's going to be flag football next"

[crystal falace]

"Yeah this new rule about not landing with your weight on the QB seems absolutely absurd, if you've just ran full speed straight into someone and tackled them, how are you supposed to not land on them."

[Far Cough]

"Whoops I misread your post and never saw the game but their was an earlier roughing the passer call on the Vikes Kendricks as well. They'll be tying flags to the QBs waists soon, that's what the NFL is coming to"

[Takashi Miike]

"yes cough, cousins as i thought is thriving throwing to diggs & thielen. it would be easy to say we should have paid the money but im not sure anyone would enjoy the current situation at the skins. snyder seems more interested in planning for a new stadium than having a capable head coach, we can't even fill the current stadium. it should be fun this weekend against rodgers"

[Far Cough]

"Haha, have your team ever had a roughing the passer called on them? Oh no, I forgot, just underinflated balls is your trick play FFS"

[crystal falace]

In other news Josh Gordon is a patriot!

[crystal falace]

"Far cough Yes your kicker missed a few kicks but you shouldnt have even tied, i cant stand the packers but that roughing the passer call on clay matthews that negated an interception on the last drive of regular time was complete horseshit."

[colchesterhammer]

"Another good win on the road by the Chiefs yesterday, despite the officials doing all they could to keep the Steelers in it. Really hoping that our D can improve as we can't keep relying on Mahomes and others to put up big numbers. Expecting a win against the 49ers at Arrowhead this week though."

[Mr. Burns]

"I think you're doing a little bit of a disservice to the WR's Cooks, Woods and Cupp who are all very good but yes Gurley is the main man. Defensively very good as well, no points scored against us in 6 quarters and Arizona didn't get over midfield until right at the end of the game yesterday. Still bigger tests (not the 49ers) to come."

[Grumpster]

"You love it burnsy. Very reliant on Gurley, but your defence looks cracking this year and nothing wrong with being reliant on a bloke smashing in td's for fun."

[Mr. Burns]

"""Shame for the bloke he's at a shit franchise.""ù Ha ha ha terrible bait Grumps."

[Far Cough]

"By the way thanks, Cousins is looking good"

[Far Cough]

"That's bad luck, you support two teams with shit owners We should have won yesterday but our kicker missed 3 (THREE) fucking field goals, Vikes should sign Carlton Cole, he's good at ballooning the ball over the bar"

[Takashi Miike]

"......that's probably harsh on shanahan as allen made his job impossible. we just have crap people in charge, i wish he'd sell us and fuck off"

[Takashi Miike]

"it's probably too early to panic as the colts could have beat a much improved bengals in week one, but the inability to run the ball was worrying and when in desperate need of two touchdowns with very little time left, smith continued with his checkdown, short pass shit that just ate up bundles of time and moved us nowhere. the more i watch us, the more we resemble west ham. a horrible owner (sullivan/snyder), an even worse general manager (brady/allen) and a succession of shit managers/head coaches"
