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."

[Grumpster]

"Cracking start from the boys, Breida looks on fire and good luck running against our defence."

[ironsofcanada]

"11MDE 2:59 Mon Oct 7 ""Looking forward to Wembley in a few weeks."" I am just happy that the Bucs get that as a home game (and seeing Arians get red faced, more red faced about it) and that both those NFC south teams have to travel. Keeps the division soft while Brees is out."

[11MDE]

"Went yesterday, it was a decent enough game, even though I wanted a Bears win. In the terms of the ground, it's nowhere near big enough for NFL. the view is so steep and quite disorientating. No room there for a proper tailgate either which was a shame. Looking forward to Wembley in a few weeks."

[Takashi Miike]

"crystal, as much as I dislike snyder/allen, they never picked the team but like everyone else bar gruden, realised we needed a QB, with Smith crippled and Mccoy/Keenum useless. if he'd made an effort with Haskins, he may have survived with a losing season but he wasn't interested and even treated peterson like crap"

[southbankbornnbred]

"TM - we've got this great head coach you can have. His CV is incredible...knows the east coast well, having coached two east coast teams previously...er...got bog-eyes...er...um...grew a beard...um...got a clipboard...surname is easy to spell...um...all those other achievements. He's a shoo in for you guys, no problem. I mean, we'll be REALLY sorry to see him go - but if you do insist on such a generous offer to take him off our hands..."

[ironsofcanada]

"Takashi Miike 1:55 Mon Oct 7 Never will forget him beating up on the Saints in the early/mid 00s so can't feel too bad. Was cocky with reason then, now just cocky."

[crystal falace]

He obviously wasnt doing well at all but must be an almost impossible situation to try and coach in with the GM and even the owner undermining you contstantly and trying to dictate who plays.

[Takashi Miike]

"Gruden gone. do the right thing now Dan, and sell up"

[Northern Sold]

Thought the N17 mob put on a decent show yesterday... excellent game as well...

"Adam Gase's last seven NFL games. - Loss: 41-17 to Minnesota (Miami) - Loss: 17-7 to Jacksonville (Miami) - Loss: 42-17 to Buffalo (Miami) - Loss: 17-16 to Buffalo (Jets) - Loss: 23-3 to Cleveland (Jets) - Loss: 30-14 to New England (Jets) - Loss: 31-6 to Philadelphia (Jets) Four total offensive TDs in those seven games. And he's supposed to be an offense ""specialist""! He's an offence specialist in the same way that Gary Breen was a defence ""specialist""."

Hermit Road 10:26 Mon Oct 7 Re: NFL (since 2016) That was me and you're welcome.

"Twas ever thus, lab. We're the West Ham of the NFL: the fans turn out in their droves despite the shit served up on the pitch every year. The only good thing about the Jets is their fans. I like the fact that they don't take themselves too seriously, because they've seen so much crap down the years. One year in the late 1980s (so I'm talking post-sack exchange), the Jets had built a pretty decent side (O'Brien at QB, Toon at WR etc) and started the season 10-1. Everybody outside of New York was talking about a Super Bowl. But the fans had seen it all before. In typical Jets fashion, the wheels came off the bus and they lost five in a row to finish the regular season 10-6. Despite that, they stumbled into the play-offs - and promptly got stuffed. Happens all the time!"

[lab]

"For years I've supported the Jets ,every season I hope things are going to look up. I feel sorry for their fans paying good money for this dross."

[southbankbornnbred]

"Honestly, they have been like that in every game so far this season - and every game in pre-season. It's self-evident that Gase does not have a clue what he's doing. My biggest fear, in a way, is that Darnold will come back soon and save Gase's job by winning four or five games for him out of the remaining 12, just about managing for Gase to keep his job for next season. So we might end up having two wasted seasons and not just this one. Darnold is a superb young quarterback, and Gase is damn lucky that he's on the roster when his spleen recovers. You get the impression that any ""progress"" the Jets make this year (slim chance!) will not be down to the head coach. Admit the error, sack the twonk, admit the error and make Williams the interim HC for the rest of the season - with a view to giving him the permanent job longer-term."

[Takashi Miike]

"crystal, read what I said on the 9.11 post, and that applies to most games under this count for the last three seasons. the stands resembled a patriots home game, that's how far that cսnt snyder has alienated the fan base. maybe he's destroying it on purpose, he's very similar to the cunts running west ham"

[Hermit Road]

Yeah they were terrible. So many pointless penalties due to poor organisation. That has to be a management issue.

[southbankbornnbred]

"I know the Jets have had a terrible time with pre-season injuries - and their star QB has been ill since the season started (even when he did manage to take to the field). But I think we've seen enough already to know that Adam Gase is an unmitigated disaster. I'm hoping he does the right thing and resigns quickly - but that's highly unlikely, as he won't get another head coaching job for some time (so he'll cling on for the pay packet). They're going to have to swallow their pride, realise they've made a terrible mistake (looking like a Kotite-level mistake) and quickly appoint Williams, the DC, as head coach. Gase is Glen Roeder - got lucky with the appointment and is completely, hopelessly out of his depth. He should be coaching a high school team."

[crystal falace]

"Thought your boys did ok yesterday tbf Mike, especially the defence, caused some issues in the first half. But the Pats defence is just too good, your defence was just completely gassed by midway through the 3rd as the offence just couldnt stay on the field."

[Hermit Road]

I want to thank whoever dumped the Eagles defence in the fantasy league a couple of weeks ago. Fly Eagles Fly.

[Takashi Miike]

"the Eagles set a new record last night, the first time a team's ever made ten sacks and scored two defensive touchdowns in a game"

[southbankbornnbred]

"Well, I think the Jets taught the Eagles a lesson last night. And that lesson was: ""There's rarely a bad time to play the Jets."""

[Takashi Miike]

"sums it up perfectly...... ""Its too bad that NFL owners depend almost nothing on home attendance. They get rich no matter how bad their teams are and no matter how many empty seats are in their stadiums. If the league wants or even cares if owners like Dan Snyder improve their on the field product, they should penalize these perennially losing owners so they don't make a profit regardless of how bad their teams are. Snyder gets richer every year but the long-suffering Skins fans still get the same bad product for their hard-earned money. You can give up your season tickets and you can stay away from FedEx in droves, but Snyder still makes money. At least a few million a year. That goes against almost any accepted business practice. In most other businesses including some professional sports, consistently losing owners get hurt in their pocketbooks year after year. At some point they either have to sell or close their doors. After 21 seasons of Snyderism, it would take a miracle for Snyder to change the way he does things and start to do things right. Dummies say he really wants to win. Well, I am sure most of us would love to have millions of dollars, but few of us really know how to accomplish such wealth. Snyder may want to win badly but he seems to have no clue how to do it. """

Shuffling Sheldon Rankins back and getting a sack. 6 in total. Take control in the 4th.

[Hermit Road]

Theres been a robbery at The Linc. The Jets QB just had the ball ripped out of his hands and returned for a TD. Nice.

[Takashi Miike]

"another thirty points please patriots, let's get this cսnt sacked"
