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."

"can't say i'm surprised, said last week that we'd get thrashed if we carry on and have said all season that we're nowhere near the levels of last year. Been getting away with it a lot (no offence, Redksins fans) but we gave up over 400 yards TWICE to Sam HowelLOL and co, and it was bound to come home to roost at some point. Big week ahead, although i suspect we'll get similarly beaten at the Cowboys. Only positive is that i won't have to listen to yet another presser about how we haven't played our best ball yet. Might be about time to start doing it."

"Big win for the 49ers, that. At the other end of the quality spectrum, the Jets genuinely might have the worst offense I've ever seen. I know we all tend to reach for examples involving our own sides, but I'm genuinely struggling to recall a worst offense than this in NFL history. All suggestions are welcome. For the third time in five games, the Jests failed to score a touchdown. And they only scored one TD last week. We're on our fourth starting QB, but it doesn't matter because the season is now dead (4-8). What's worse is the defense remains superb. Yesterday, they allowed just one completed pass to an opposition wide receiver across the entire game. And they were responsible for 25% of our offensive points. There will be some big teams circling our key defenders in the off season, and I don't blame them. Haven't seen such an imbalanced side for a while. Fucking joke. They mortgaged their entire short and medium-term future on the two-year deals for Rodgers and his acolytes. Well, one of those years is already over - and we're worse than before as things stand."

"Aaron Rodgers pictured at the Jets training ground doing some light work on the field - just 11 weeks after tearing his achilles. But it looks like it'll be too late for this season. Most experts say he'll likely be out another month at least. I guess the more significant thing him returning to training shows is that he probably wants to play again next season, rather than retire. Might have something to do with his guaranteed $50m in 2024!"

"The Eagles do look very good right now and, if a Superbowl was held tomorrow, you'd have to say they'd be favourites. But injuries and form will play a big part in the season yet. I remember the Jets - with the best defense in the league at the time - starting 10-1 in 1986, lost five in a row during the run-in, barely scraped into the play-offs and then imploded against Cleveland in the play-offs. The season changes quickly."

"10-1 with the toughest schedule in football. Chiefs coming off a bye Bills on a Philly short week 49ers have 10 days to prepare Cowboys on the road, the pansies have 10 days to prepare The only worry I have about the Birds is the ageing players in the trenches. Missed Lane Johnson yesterday and Kelce can hardly walk."

"Another great night... after one of the worst halves of football you'll see from any team this season. All very exciting, great resilience, haven't played well yet etc etc but still 10-1... but we will get absolutely annihilated by the 9ers next week if we play like that. And the cowboys the week after... we might become the first team with a record over .500"

"Btw, that was some game between the Eagles and Bills last night. Well worth watching the highlights if you haven't already. And Belichick is in trouble. They should stick with him, of course. But he has been the Jets' main torturer-in-chief down the years - having properly screwed us over with napkingate - so it's superb to watch him struggle like a fucker this season. Big smiles on our faces!"

"I feel for Saleh and his excellent defense. But I doubt he'll be able to keep them together next off-season. Some are genuinely championship or super bowl potential, and I can see them doing a Jamal Adams and leaving in February/March. One or two of them have sort of given up on this season, having seen Wilson and Boyle at QB. Wouldn't blame them."

"Jets were never in it against the Fish - we have the worst offense I think I've ever seen. Genuinely. The owners should be shot for what they've done this season. They know absolutely nothing about how to run an NFL franchise. They're like little kids with too much money - and thought spending a ridiculous sum on a superb, but ageing, quarterback was how to ""buy""ù an offense. But although it's probably the most important position in all of sport, QB is just one position. In order to land Rodgers, we also overspent on his ageing mates and did stupid deals for Cook (barely used - didn't need him), Lazard and Cobb, wasted that cap money by failing to shore up the offensive line, employed an offensive coordinator because he was Rodgers' mate, then found out he runs a ridiculously complex, out of date, scheme you can't just slot into. Rodgers then goes down after four minutes (unlucky, but more predictable than some care to admit due to his age), and we're left with a catastrophic mess going forward. Genuinely, last night the commentators were overly sympathetic when we finally scored a TD - in the way patents are when their two-year-old finally kicks a football without swinging and missing. ""Well they've finally got a touchdown - isn't that nice!""ù It's a fucking embarrassment and the owners should be ashamed. Should have left Saleh and Douglas to it last off-season. Should have picked up Baker Mayfield or another experienced, but younger and less expensive, QB, and actually spent some time building a proper offense - rather than try to buy an off-the-shelf Super Bowl winner at the age of 40. Our offensive line doesn't exist: it's just a bunch of fat blokes who can't block. You could pick them at at West Ham for a song!"

"nutsin, I've watched every game and we've not been tanking, it's just bad coaching. I've seen those type of seasons not so long ago with gruden. why would rivera purposely get himself fired? your job look strong, I'd be tempted to scale back mccaffrey's work once the division is won norf, sam's been great but he needs a better line to protect him next year. during 2020 someone was streaming all of the north carolina games so I watched him a lot and if he'd gone to the draft that next year would have been a first round pick. prescott looks very comfortable and in a great rhythm. I still have doubts about him once it's play-off time but the whole team look united and that's important once those big games come up"

"TM watched the full game last night have to admit I was pretty impressed with your QB I thought he played really well considering how much pressure kept getting to him. Was a fairly tight game first half. So great to watch a bit of history live with the Bland pick 6 he is truly unbelievable and turning into a superstar. To put into perspective he has more TD's than Travis Kelce playing as a DB""¶.in fact I read only 13 players in the entire NFL have more TD's than him!!! I wouldn't be surprised if he actually gets more unless of course everybody stops throwing it his way."

Skins are tanking for a top pick in the draft. They're blowing it up for a rebuild.

"It was a weird TM. At a glance the Washington defence wasn't all that bad until, well, you know. I get the impression that he was just a convenient scapegoat for everything else and someone up high thought a preformative sacking would show some action is being taken."

"don't get me wrong, I like eric as a person but he's very different to rivera, and the players may have been spoilt with ron's easy going nature. It's probably why some are still whining. your game should be good tonight, I think you cause an upset."

"Oh, don't get me wrong: Bieniemy has to learn to run the ball. It's nuts how lop-sided Washington are. I know it's a QB-throwing league these days - and he got spoiled with Mahomes and Reid's excellent leadership in Kansas. But you're right: you have to still run the ball, have some balance and keep the defense honest. I thought Saleh was a bit over-rated after his first year in charge of the Jets as HC. In fairness, you and others said 'give him time' - and he has certainly sorted out our defense, which is now play-off quality. It's just that our offense is weapons-grade shite without a decent QB, some linemen and an OC with a playbook you can understand. Saleh came good, defensively, and I'd hate to see him go now. Hopefully Bieniemy can do something similar with your offense with a bit of time (but Rivera has to go anyway, surely)? But he has to run the ball, granted."
