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."

"Joe C 12:57 Mon Jan 2 Enjoy, will be an excellent end of season if the Hawks beat the Rams, make the play offs, and still end up with a top 5 pick. Not been to Seattle yet but saw the Hawks at Wembley close up. Called Seattle at 8-9 in the preseason predictions and thought that was wildly optimistic. southbank - On the subject of Jets QBs, Hawks seem to have done well out of Geno this year. He's been arguably a level above journeyman/game manager and certainly a decent starter."

Re: NFL (since 2016)
"you know things are bad when the head coach don't why have a clue about the implications of a home loss. rivera asked about what he'll do about the starting qb in week eighteen if eliminated from the playoffs if the packers won.... ""We can be eliminated?"" . that was the icing on the cake of another terrible season. he's the nicest person in the world but a bad head coach. the franchise has been filled with ex panther colleagues and players rather than the best available and we're about to see a third consecutive losing season. organisations can't succeed where nepotism thrives, we have by far the worst play caller in the league (scott turner, son of norv) yet he won't be fired because of his dad's history with ron. rivera's also been given so much power that he's the defacto GM, where every hire & fire goes through him so how can a team be accountable if no one is holding him to a required standard? the only positive is the future sale of the franchise"

Re: NFL (since 2016)
"The Jets are facing their seemingly eternal dilemma in the off-season, having now lost five games in a row: Find a quarterback who is a genuine NFL starter. This issue has dogged us for decades - probably since O'Brien (1980s) and certainly since the golden era of Broadway Joe. Basically, the Jets have only had two, arguably three, genuinely decent quaterbacks in their history: Namath, O'Brien and the pre-injury Chad Pennington. With the exception of Favre, who turned up in Gotham just before he retired, every other QB has been a bust, over-rated, over-promoted or little more than a decent back-up standard. Three good QBs in 62 years of history! For all of the hype and fuss around him - and his obvious talent - Zach Wilson has turned out to have the very character flaws many of us suspected he would have when he wandered into Gotham: big ego/small town mentality, refusal to sit and learn, kid in a (milf!) candy store and, underneath it all, an (so far) inability to deal with real pressure and responsibility. As a consequence, he's gone backwards in his two seasons. Mike White has been a surprisingly half-decent back-up, but that's all he is: a back-up. We need to re-sign him for next season (he's an unrestricted free agent in January). But what the franchise decides to do with Zach Wilson will now define the improving Saleh's tenure. This is a young roster packed with genuine talent - but it needs a leader at QB and somebody who can play pragmatic football, make his check-downs and move the sticks. Wilson has tried too hard to be a superstar, found out he's not (yet) that good, hasn't worked hard enough on his game and has consequently lost all confidence. Worse, he's been a bit of dick in the locker room and training - so his team-mates aren't overly keen on him. Unlike last season, I don't really have major concerns about Saleh at this point: he's shown genuine improvement as a head coach this season, even though the wheels have fallen off in the past few weeks. Specifically, our defense has improved in terms of structure, playbook and quality - and that's Saleh's side of the game. So he's having an effect now. But we need to find a QB. There's talk of Jimmy G from the Niners. I actually think he has the character to improve us and to cope with the media and fans' attention in New York (which can ruin players). What the Raiders do with Carr will also keep the Jets interested. But there are few other options for trades or free agency - and this year's draft looks thin for QBs. Another left-field option: Baker Mayfield (who, despite his own problems, I actually think has the ability and ""fuck you"" mentality to succeed in New York. I'd be tempted to sign Mayfield when he becomes a free agent (from the Rams) in Jan/Feb, then re-sign Mike White and force Wilson and White to compete for the back-up job next season (trading the 'losing' player once the 2023 season starts). It's that or Jimmy G, by the looks of it."

"I'm off to Seattle on Friday to watch our game v the Rams. Don't like having to rely on the Lions having to beat the Packers, so am sure Goff will find another way to make me hate him even more - but that's the cost of losing to shit like the Panthers and the Falcons. Whatever happens though, been a much better season than I expected, and we'll get a great draft pick thanks to Denver"
Re: NFL (since 2016)
"Raiders have some players on offense, Devante Adams, Jacobs, Waller, Renfrow etc: Stidham played the game of his life and Devante Adams made some amazing catches. If that's what it takes to put up pass yards on our D then I'll take it. They were playing for their playoff lives yet we still won. Niners D made some big plays, especially in the second half when it counted, Our Offense was lights out""¶.. # 2 seed baby! Feels good!"

"Grumpster, It is a bit worrying how many yds/pts the Raiders have gained today, but the Raiders can be like that. One of the NFL's great underachievers but capable of inexplicable, very effective performances. I think they found it hard to plan/scheme for Stidham."

Re: NFL (since 2016)
"I guess the Broncos' defence have finally run out of steam. The poor bastards have been on the pitch for ages this season. I was gutted when Tua threw that third interception. The first two you could, at least, understand but that one was nowhere near a receiver let alone an open one."

"""Rams are a mess"" Classic Nutsy.....puts that and we put a 50 burger on the Broncos."
