NFL (since 2016)

Post crystal falace »

"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."

Why does the Saints-Cowboys need to be a Sunday night (ie middle of the night) game? (I know why but apparently just discovered this) Thursday night last year.

"Yeah the commentators were saying that. The Eagles carved them up though. The gaps were so big that I could have gained a 1st down most of the time. Despite some terrible penalties, the defence came up with some good plays but lost Cox to injury which could be huge."

"Weird because they'd been decent at stopping the run the first couple of weeks, gave up 1 or 2 plays Dalvin cook but he looks unstoppable at the moment. would have thought with the banged up Eagles receiving core that they would have focused more on stopping the run. But Howard has hardly touched the ball all season so maybe they caught them off guard with him."

Just watched the whole game. That Green Bay defence cannot stop the run. A slow start again but those banged up Birds did a fantastic job to bring home the result. Onwards and upwards.

"SHould be calling up the Browns and seeing if you can get a bounty for Williams, Browns Oline is killing any chance o them to have this magical season all the media were hyping them up for. In other news, always nice seeing Aaron Rodgers throw a game ending interception on the goal line :)"

"SB, a good example of their ineptness is this trent williams business. for a couple of months gruden had to field question after question ""When's Trent back?"". ""Any news on Trent?"" , ""Have you spoken to Trent"". every fucking press conference (they have up to five if six a week) dominated by the same shit, and him telling them (the press) over and over and over again that he had no idea when or if he's returning, and it's out of his hands anyway. he doesn't want to play for them (snyder/allen), so why are they denying themselves a couple of draft picks for next year because they're too stubborn to settle the situation?"

"Snyder does always come across very badly indeed. We've got a mini version of him in the Johnson brothers. They aren't as personally dis-likeable (politics aside), but are just completely out of touch and are only in it for their profile. They are also hell bent on appointing ""yes men"" (Rex Ryan was a notable exception - and they found him uncomfortable!). Hence, Gates got the nod above McCarthy when it was obvious the latter should have got the job. McCarthy wanted to have some of the GM's powers (not many of them, but enough to shape things his way) and the Johnsons feared a loss of control (£££). So we ended up with the bog-eyed twonk. Woody and co have to learn to be hands-off, but the chances of that happening at their age are very slim."

"you can't get things right if the owner/gm (which is the same thing at redskins park) are not on the same page as the head coach in regard to draft picks and coaching assistants, and to last at the franchise the pre-requisite is to be a yes-man to those two, which is why our last good coach (shanahan) fucked off. it's a bit like managers working under the current west ham board, it won't really matter who's manager/coach while you have those still running things. it's been clear gruden's had enough for a while, he isn't that great a coach but you can tell he's had enough but they (snyder/allen) have no idea what to do next. the logical thing is letting another young coach, kevin o'connell (current offensive coordinator) who's in the mould of mcvey to take over but knowing them they'll get it wrong again"

"Mind you, just checked and he's approaching 30 now - so perhaps it would be wise. You don't want to be lumbered with him on a huge salary at 32 etc."

"Is that a talent issue, though, or just poor coaching on a poor team? The danger is that you release him and he wanders off and plays well under a good coach and a solid team."

"Could get worse for the 'Skins, TM, if this talk about releasing Josh Norman next summer continues. I know he has shot his mouth off a few too many times, but he's still one of your best players. The pitfalls of following teams like ours: they are CONSTANTLY in rebuild mode, because they can't get the basic building blocks right. The Jets have been ""rebuilding"" pretty much every year since 1969! With the Skins, it's all the more surprising because back in the 1980s it was seen as a steady, sensible franchise that was always in the mix. Those days feel like a long time ago now, I'm sure. Gruden looks like he's about to turn to Haskell to try to save his job."

"It is difficult to see the Redskins winning a game, even with Miami and the Jets on the schedule. They're poor beyond belief. The longest rebuilding process in history In the last 10 years of MNF there 7 occasions where the home team is down by more 19-points at halftime, 4 of those occasions it has been the Redskins"
