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]

brilliant catch by hooper

[Lee Trundle]

Mahomes out for the game. This is getting interesting.

[Lee Trundle]

Brilliant by Mayfield on 4th down.

[Lee Trundle]

"Ah, ok, forget about that."

[Lee Trundle]

"I'm wondering if he went trying to get a foul and has gone off because of his ""turf toe""?"

[Hermit Road]

"On second thoughts, they just showed another angle where his head hits the floor pretty hard."

[Grumpster]

"Didnt touch his head at all. Thats him and the chiefs potentially done though, as I really doubt they'll let him play next week if they get through."

[Hermit Road]

"That was weird, he didn't seem to take a hit to the head but looked like he was garrotted by the pull on his helmet"

[Lee Trundle]

Didn't really look like Mahomes was hit badly?

[zebthecat]

This is beginning to look interesting.

[Grumpster]

Chiefs kicker is clearly nicking a living. Absolutely useless cսnt.

[Takashi Miike]

I wanted to blame higgins but it was a great play by the safety

[Lee Trundle]

Wounder for the Browns just before half time with that touchback for the Chiefs instead of a TD.

[Lee Trundle]

"I'm not much of a neutral thanks to the in-laws, but the Chiefs offensive is a joy to watch."

"Not sure if mayfield and mahomes have faced off in the NFL yet, sure they must've But if you want to go back to the last time they played in college they combined for 1300 passing yards and 14 total touchdowns in the wildest game i've ever seen."

"Yeah, physically Jackson is unreal. But he has made slow progress on his reads. The Bills knew that - kept subtly shifting linebacker corps just before the snap? It caused uncertainty for Jackson, as he kept having to re-adjust at the last minute - and he has a tendency to default to running the ball on the fly in that situation. Knowing that, the Bills just clogged up field between the numbers. It was simple, but clever stuff."

[Grumpster]

"Still not sure about Lamar. He's great at abusing weak defences and teams, but when the chips are down against a defence who has worked out his runs, then he doesn't seem good enough with the throw. Can't compare, but when you see what Rodgers done to the best defence in the league, the real elite QB's can look great whoever is against them. All 6 post season games have gone to the team i fancied (no shocks so far basically) up to now with the chiefs probably also doing the job, then the first tough game to call so far. Fancy the Bucs as I don't think the Saints offence has looked great recently with kamara not firing and Thomas being rusty, but could potentially be a belter between the 2 old boys. Cant see either of them beating the packers."

[southbankbornnbred]

"If the likes of Lamar Jackson and others want that sort of longevity, they have to learn to read schemes. He's young, and he's got time, but he couldn't get his head around what the Bills were doing defensively yesterday. I suspect that Mahomes and Mayfield, who square off tonight, are better at that sort of thing."

[southbankbornnbred]

"Zeb - Packers' run game did look good, didn't it? What was even better for them was the way their O-line man-handled Donald and co. Donald looked under-par due to his rib injury, but that line protected Rodgers really well. The Rams pushed Floyd high behind his D-line to prevent the bootleg several times, but Rodgers is so quick-minded, he just called a fake bootleg audible and ran in a TD instead. He might be 37 and slowing down physically, but his mind is still in overdrive. How he, Brady and Brees keep at that level year-in-year-out is impressive. They have almost 60 years' worth of playing experience between them, those three and probably read defensive schemes in their sleep!"

"Some NFL commentators are reporting that LaFleur is the Jets' new OC but, as I understand it, he hasn't officially signed for us yet. Get his signature on a contract and ship his office family pictures to New York. We've had enough crap down the years with new coaches, contracts, napkins and resignations..!"

[southbankbornnbred]

"Getting slightly nervous about the OC coaching situation at the Jets. Not worried about Saleh any longer - I'm reconciled to the fact that he's our boss now for a few seasons. Just hope he does the job. But Saleh only really works if he brings with him/appoints a good OC, because that's the more important side of the ball for us at the moment. He clearly wants Mike LaFleur from the 49ers, who would be a good appointment - Jets fans would be pleased with that combo and it would be a strong first move for Saleh. But there is now talk of a few teams trying to sabotage LaFleur's appointment. I just hope our owners/GM are prepared to pay him well and get the appointment over the line. We've been a bit cheap and cheerful with some co-ordinators' salaries down the years."

[southbankbornnbred]

"Good win for the Bills last night. Wasn't expecting them to beat the Ravens, who looked a bit tired and out of ideas after a run of must-win games. Pack and Bills through. Reckon it'll be the Chiefs and Buccs joining them, but hope it's the Brownies and Saints."

[normannomates]

The Browns are Yank version of WHU. Over chuffed for the Browns

[Joe C]

Spot on Zeb. Called correctly.

[zebthecat]

Nah. As soon as Donald grabbed his facemask that was it. The Packers offense and run game especially are looking ominously good. That last drive was so easy.
