"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."

That’s our head coach. He’ll have his failures, I’m certain. But that’s the guy I want leading that team. He wants to be there, not just taking any old HC role. It matters to him. Some others were just passing through.
So you think he's better than Adam Gase?
Yep, sneaky feeling!

In all seriousness, Glenn’s press conference was pretty impressive. Oozes passion for the sport and team, charisma, determination and work ethic.
The real “talking” is done on the training ground and on match days. But this guy has a pair of bollocks, and he will not fail through want of trying.
Compare his introduction to that of Adam Gase (rabbit in headlights), Rob Saleh (bit overawed by Gotham) and the likes of Mangini (battling to convince himself), and you sense that Glenn is a different beast.
It’ll probably take years, and he’s taking over a failing organisation, so there’s a LOT to fix. But I like him already.

Aaron Glenn’s first press conference as head coach.
”We’re the freakin’ New York Jets, and we’re built for this shit!”
THERE’S my head coach, right there.
Gets it. Being a Jet is a state of mind - it’s not just about the American football. And that’s why they’re basically the West Ham of the NFL.

Disappointed, but not to disappointed as any 'skins fan would have accepted making the play-offs back in September.
Onwards and upwards next season.
Your lot had a great season, OD. And that QB is here to stay.

I don't think I've ever met anyone who has a dislike for Andy Reid, even if he seems to be managing the officials favourite team.

I hope Reid goes on to win his 3rd straight Super Bowl in a row.
I much prefer having him seen as the GOAT coach over Belichick.
Fucking Amen to that!
Nothing against the Eagles per se. But anything that erodes the napkin scrawler’s legacy is good by me!

The Giants had an O line made of cardboard while Saquon was there. They were totally inept and no rb could do anything there except get seriously injured.
now he’s behind a brick wall on wheels that clears defenders out of his way at will and he can really express himself and show the full range of his phenomenal talent. Would have been a waste of money and talent the Giants keeping him, as it is, he’s making history with the Birds’ monsters up front.
going to be tough in the SB. Team is a banged up and up against the Chiefs and the NFL. If anyone can do it though, they can.

In fairness, the Giants were so poor at QB and WR, that opponents stacked the line to stop Barkley - because the Giants offered little else.
Plus he had a bad injury in Gotham at one point.
Yeah, he was still half assing it. Compare his rookie year to what came after. Elite talent poor attitude. Went hiding when things weren't going well.
We call that “Jets Syndrome”, Scorch!
The ability to take an excellent talent and turn them into directionless zombies during games. Maybe it’s something in the water in New Jersey?!

Nobody in that stadium - including the refs - knew whether Allen’s QB sneak on 4th down had paid off.
But what is genuinely numbing is that, in those circumstances, the Chiefs always seem to get the call.

I know the old addage you make your own luck but god dammit the Chiefs have had so much of it this season in vital spots.

That combined the decision to go all in on Daniel Jones was always completely baffling.
Absolute killer decision. Imagine dealing this guy away. And SBBB reckons the Green side of NY are worse run? I’m really not sure!
They’ve won Superbowls since we last got to the playoffs! Don’t feel sorry for those fuckers!
Well we do have that but fuck it's been bleak ever since. It's astonishing how difficult it is to be that bad for that long really. Both sides letting the city down. Horrible looking at consistently well run and high performing teams as well.

Irrespective of what happens tonight, TM, the Commanders have found themselves “the” QB to
build around. Championship game in his rookie season, and Daniels still plays like he’s a ten-year veteran.
Barkley is a friggin’ machine, though. Best RB in this NFL for a good while.
And just as I wrote that, the latest turnover probably killed the game.
Damn Eagles.
