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."

[crystal falace]

"Belichick and i think Jim Brown were the first 2 coaches chosen, seem to be doing 2 a week while they do each position group"

[Far Cough]

Oh and of course Bellichick

[Far Cough]

"I agree with Gibbs but they will probably pick people like George Halas, Curly Lambeau and Don Shula ?"

[crystal falace]

"At a guess i would say there's not many patriots that would make the list, maybe a couple more have a chance because Bill is on the panel. 10-QB - Brady 12-RB 10-WR - Moss (only with the Pats for 3 years) 5-TE - Gronk 18-OL - Hannah (maybe) 14-DL - Seymour ( maybe) 12-LB 13-DB - Ty law (Maybe) 6-Special Teams - Slater (maybe), Vinatieri 10-Coaches - BB Just shows with all the success they've had there really havent been many ""stars"" on the team, they're just incredibly well coached and have arguably the best to ever do it at the most important position"

[Takashi Miike]

"only just noticed Joe Gibbs didn't even make the shortlist of head coaches (the only coach I can think of that won three superbowls with three different QBs for the same franchise), a short list that includes Tony fucking Dungy? absolute cսnt of a process, and more proof the Skins are hated"

[Far Cough]

"Crystal, here's the breakdown of the NFL 100 best: 10-QB 12-RB 10-WR 5-TE 18-OL 14-DL 12-LB 13-DB 6-Special Teams 10-Coaches"

[crystal falace]

"Did Steve Tasker make it? I saw he was on the 25 man shortlist for the hall of fame this year Never saw him play but they say he's the best special teams player of all time, Would have to have been very very very good to be better than matthew slater is for the Patriots"

[Grumpster]

"Not the most exciting set of games tomorrow, but I do love a Thanksgiving day triple header. Lack of work being done on Friday, though nothing changes."

[Takashi Miike]

*past players*

[Takashi Miike]

"crystal, I just love seeing belichik relaxed and sharing his knowledge of last players. it's also the first time I've seen those three backs having a conservation like that, just a shame walter wasn't around to join them"

[zebthecat]

Did Steve Tasker make it? Special Teams are underappreciated.

[crystal falace]

"Just thought they were gping to actually pick a team, not 10 players at each position. Dont think there would be many patriots llayers on any team other than the QB and coach, maybe Gronk"

[Takashi Miike]

"dumb how? they've made it that many so they can include more stars. they could always have named a team of patriots players and bored the shit out of everyone, watch the video and you'll see belichik isn't belittling it. i'd love to have been around to watch marion motley play. payton will always be my favourite RB"

[crystal falace]

"Seems to be a real emphasis on making sure they give the really old players a ""fair"" level of respect. No Marshall faulk, Ladanian Tomlinson or adrian peterson in the top 10 running backs seems daft"

[Far Cough]

"I see OJ made the list, fair enough by all accounts he was bloody good"

[crystal falace]

"Seem to be pussyfooting around it though, i saw they named 10 running backs to the team and are naming 10 head coaches, unless they're narrowing it down afterwards then it just seems dumb"

[Takashi Miike]

*NFL 100 All Time Team*

[Far Cough]

"Barry Sanders is the best RB I have seen, never saw Jim Brown"

[Takashi Miike]

"this is brilliant, NFL All Time Team : Running Backs. Rich Eisen with Chris Collinsworth in a studio with Jim Brown, Belichik, Barry Sanders & Emmit Smith https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jrVEsfqiVyw"

"Crystal, Exactly. I don't mean to sound like a killjoy, but you just know that the likes of Belichick, Tomlin and Reid - grizzled coaches - are watching game footage of the Ravens and planning how to take Jackson down a blind alley in which he gets full-on nailed by some hard-ass linebacker. I love watching scrambling QBs. But consistently successful ones have been few and far between in the NFL - often because they get nailed and injuries follow (Griffin III etc) or they get worked out (Kaepernick etc). Vick was probably an exception. So Ravens fans will be hoping he follows that line, possibly without the dog-fighting. Jackson has been a revelation, though, it must be said. I'm enjoying every game he plays at the moment."

[Joe C]

Bit of good fortune for the Ravens too - they've had their first choice O line all season. Might struggle if some of them get injured

[crystal falace]

Think this will be the Raven's best chance at a superbowl for the future as eventually defensive coordinators will figure out how to slow them down the more tape they get on them. While it's still new they may be able to take the league by storm and win a title but not sure how viable it is in the long run.

[RBshorty]

Only the Seahawks and Saints look even close in the NFC. And you never count out the Emperor and Darth Brady of New England. But it does look like a changing of the guard.

[southbankbornnbred]

"I believe that's what they call a proper beating handed out to the Rams. Jackson was on fire again. He is in amazing form. The only concern for the Ravens must be that they may have peaked too soon - which is a nice ""problem"" to have."

[RBshorty]

"Ravens V 49ers next weekend should be very, very tasty. Possibly a Superbowl rehearsal.?"
