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."

Here's hoping swapping the Big Easy for the Big Smoke will cure what ails the Saints (spoilers: probably not) Anyone going?

Miami 3 out of 3.... ... can we end the season now???

[southbankbornnbred]

"TM - spot on. With the Jets, the roster is now significantly better. Sauce, G Wilson, Johnson and others are all good picks. Joe Douglas, in fairness to him, has done his homework and done his bit. But the coaching staff, including Saleh, have been a car crash. Genuinely no better than Gase and his team at the moment. Which is saying something. I'll give them a bit more time - they are still dealing with a young (albeit more talented) roster - but my view up to this point is that Saleh has been massively over-promoted and so have some of his co-ordinators. We haven't even competed in two out of the three games this season. Defensively, we are shocking. Yet Saleh still refuses to call defensive plays. It will most likely get him sacked unless he bucks his ideas up, and quickly. I hope that changes, naturally."

[Takashi Miike]

"SB, he just refuses to sign veteran players that he hasn't got a past history (Panthers) with and it's killing us. You can get away with only bringing in youth in year one, but he just doesn't have the time to develop that many young players - not that I think this coaching staff are capable of making any plays better anyway Regarding Salah, it doesn't look much has changed other than the roster looks better. The one side he should have improved, hasn't. There are quite a few very good QBs entering next year's draft so maybe your front office will wait to pull the trigger on a new coach once you find out where you're drafting. Whoever is brought in will have some great weapons to target, but as evidenced with us, if you have a thick as s hit coordinator like Scott Turner calling plays, the amount of talent is irrelevant"

[southbankbornnbred]

"Yep, totally agree on Rivera, mate. He looks a bit insecure and wouldn't deal with the likes of Manley or Taylor. But you need several players like that on your roster - they force the team/squad to be better. It's what the Jets have lacked for a while, too. As well as talent! What makes the Jets' insipid start to another season so galling is that the Fish are 3-0 and, whisper it, looking like a decent side. IC must be on cloud nine."

[Takashi Miike]

"SB, of course the coaching and play calling has to be questioned but it's also a very soft team that lacks characters. from what I've seen of Ron over the last three years, he wouldn't have touched people like Dexter Manley, John Riggins or Sean Taylor with a barge pole, yet that's what the team is missing. In yesterday's post match presser he started talking about an espn story about him wanting garoppolo in the summer and using it as an excuse. once you start bullshitting to the fans, it doesn't end well"

[southbankbornnbred]

"TM/HH, Just seen highlights of the Washington game. My god, that O-line was poor. On two occasions, I swear it collapsed before the snap (players in motion)! Looks like they've never practiced. Doesn't matter who you've got behind centre when that happens. Feel sorry for Wentz. He's going to get badly injured."

[Takashi Miike]

"HH, it may sound harsh to an outsider/neutral but they need to watch the last two games to see how bad things are. at least del rio got improvements today, turner's continued to be shit season after season. rivera's a nice person, but his reluctance to bring in experience in key positions and instead rely on ex panthers or complete dart throws is infuriating. he let's key players walk and fails to bring in a similar standard and it now looks like his in denial regarding the results/performance. they have to win next week"

[ironsofcanada]

Anybody want Dennis Allen as their coach?

[Holstebro Hammer]

Takishi. I think Ron has to go now. It's been a shit show for a long time now. Just when you think it can't get worse after the Detroit game. He doesn't want to change the coaches Del Rio is an absolute joke. I'm so pissed off about it. He will just say 'We gotta do better' Fucking shambles

[southbankbornnbred]

"Thing is, Saleh has no excuses now. Even our awful owner Woody invested heavily in him and the picks."

[southbankbornnbred]

"Jets crashed back down to Earth with another Saleh shitshow this week. God awful play-calling again. Ended with our best lineman having a massive row with the D-Line coach. Saleh has now lost 15 of the 19 games he's been head coach. The honeymoon period is well and truly over. If he doesn't start winning games by the second half of this season, he'll be out the door come January, as just another loud bullshit merchant who couldn't deliver. Many fans are fed up with him. He's showing no signs of improvement and he's losing authority. The journalists in Gotham have started calling him out, too, as a bit of a gobby fraud, and it's wearing on him (hence his ""keeping the receipts""ù quote). Who'd coach the Jets?!"

[Hermit Road]

"I feel sorry for Wentz here. Absolutely zero protection, running for his life every play. Hit repeatedly and then when he has got throws off, receivers have dropped balls that I could catch. Could easily have been even more sacks today."

[Takashi Miike]

"I don't think I've seen an o-line as bad as this, nine sacks today. It doesn't help that he has such poor pocket presence, but he's getting very little help from the five pricks in front of him. even the replacement center can't snap the ball properly, with wentz constantly catching off his shins. rivera's been here three years now, the personnel's improved but they can't coach them"

[ironsofcanada]

Takashi Miike 10:09 Sun Sep 25 I haven't seen Washington's much but I would trade the Saints O-line for any in the league at this point. Jameis and coaching don't help but it is brutal every play.

[Takashi Miike]

"two weeks running, rivera let good players go and replaced them with soft cunts that he used to coach in carolina. much more of this and he needs to be sacked, especially after last week's horror show in detroit"

[Hermit Road]

Washington seem to have an O line made of cardboard.

[crystal falace]

"I switched the game off last night thinking id had a shocker putting the browns defence in this week. Forced fumble, fumble recovery and TD on the last play of the game for 9 points"

[ironsofcanada]

"Be nice to move points from one fantasy league to another. Pretty much to a man my WHO league team stunk up the place but I am winning my other two with players to spare tonight. And the Saints.... Winston being bad Winston again in the clutch, really worried about the O-line and no Kamara. Defence battled valiantly for a while but then... Combined with West Ham, pretty depressing Sunday."

Go fins

[zebthecat]

Just caught up with Ravens/Dolphins game. Had to pinch myself seeing Tua throw deep bombs. Also we had shock/horror a running game at last. The O-line looks miles better and even Mike Gesicki was blocking like a good 'un.

[Norflundon]

"Well I'll be honest I wasn't expecting that. Great performance from Cooper Rush and nice to see Pollard getting some snaps We've faced two great offenses and conceded two touchdowns in two games. Defence is looking good without a few big injuries Parsons is insane he could literally get 30 sacks this season if he stays fit. I think the Dline coach should be in for a massive pay rise seeing how well they are playing""¶.. Still can't see us making the playoffs with the injuries we have but this is a massive lift to everybody"

[Holstebro Hammer]

Lamar Jackson has absolutely killed me in Fantasy. Still in it. But not looking good

[El Scorchio]

There can't be many things more nauseating than Romo commentating on the Cowboys. It's fucking ridiculous how he's completely unable and unwilling to hide his massive bias.

[southbankbornnbred]

We are 1-1 now this season. I'll take a .500 season. Stop the count!
