West Ham Online

"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."

Absolute embarrassment.

"Shame we can't play them every week, but I'd imagine they'll still win the division."

Same old Rams!

"Niners beating up on the Rams again""¶.. 21-7 to Niners at the half, Niners get the ball to start the 2nd half."

"Ridiculously open this year, with pretty much zero stand out amazing teams. Probably still want to be on the buccs due to their experience, but last couple of games have shown how much the old man relies on having a fit gronk still. Great effort from Washington that and liked watching Gibson still moving with about 7 blokes hanging off him. Be a good exciting play offs etc for once."

"Meanwhile, Mike McCarthy - Superbowl winning former Packers coach, and the man who virtually begged the Jets to give him the job - is turning the Cowgirls into a force in the NFC East."

"Don't get me wrong - I want Saleh to do well, of course. But he's already making MASSIVE errors of judgement and is proving to be as stubborn about his failures as past coaches who all fell by the wayside. He reiterated last week that he will not call defensive plays as Jets HC. Yet that is all he knows. I repeat - in the past four games, we've shipped 54, 31, 45 and 45 points. And probably the best defensive mind at the franchise is refusing to call that side of the ball. I hope he turns it around, as he seems like a decent fella. My guess is he'll coach 34 games and he'll be out on his ass at the end of 2022 with a 9-25 record or something similar. Because that's the way he's heading unless he changes his approach."

"TM - unfortunately, we won't have a choice but to hang in there and hope that he turns it around. He's almost guaranteed at least two years on the hot seat as HC, which is fine by me as it gives him ample time to at least find some improvement. But in all honestly, we are currently a worse team than when Gase left (primarily because we allowed some half-decent vets to leave with him). And Gase was a clusterfuck on every level. I'm not saying that Saleh is a worse coach than Gase - he's probably not. But he has shown us absoluetly nothing, at all, in his first half season. And his decision not to call defensive plays is likely to come back to haunt him. Way things are going, he'll be yet another of the Jets' ""two seasons and out"" HCs and he'll quite possibly ruin another promising young quarterback. But I say that based as much on our past history under these owners, rather than just based on Saleh. We've fallen into a rut supporter-wise because we're now so used to huge disappointments as coaches and in the boardroom. It is now a franchise devoid of any knowledge or experience of what a winning mentality or organisation looks and feels like. The longest run without a play-off appearance in a league which actively promotes equality. ""Any Given Sunday*"" (*Except in New Jersey) ;-)"

"SB, from someone who's watched a lot of bad teams the last two decades, hang in there and give saleh time to establish himself. the only way is up, but it will take longer than one season"

TM - just watched that last drive: that was some proper hard work by Washington. Old Skool football. The under-pressure catches by McLaurin and Humphries were excellent. Some proper run-it-up-the-middle work by the line and Gibson.

*broken jaw*

"SB, we're also missing montez sweat with a broken has for the next month or so. If you watch that video, there's a key catch by terry mclaurin on a 3rd and five where he knows as he catches it that the two dbs are going to light him up, yet he still goes through with it and holds on to the ball. in the slow mo footage, terry gets up beats his chest and you can see one of the bucs players in the background open mouthed, stunned :.)"

"Saints alive, the Vikings win a game"

"Great win, that, TM. But Chase Young out with what looks like an ACL. He's a loss."

"our game winning 19 play, 80 yards, 10 minute 26 seconds drive. the longest (timewise) this season...... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bYXTQed0_4c&t=399s"

"What's worse is that teams have been easing up on us. Both the Colts and the Bills (the two '45' games) sent out an array of back-ups as the games ended. They could quite easily have followed the Patsies and put 50 on us. Which is the NFL equivalent of losing 6-0 or more. At the moment, this is happening almost every week. I'm not buying Saleh's ""All gas, no brakes"" crap. From here it looks more like ""Straight over a cliff""."

"Another Rob ""Show Us Something, Anything"" Saleh defensive masterclass this weekend. Last four games we've shipped... 54 31 45 45 It's an embarrassment. The Jets have always been a defense-first franchise. Always. Even when we've been clueless on offense - which has been often - we've always competed by having a strong defense under the likes of Parcells, Edwards, Ryan and Bowles. It's still early, of course (although he's now nine games into his likely 34-game contract). But Saleh has shown less than zero on the defensive side of things. And that's supposed to be his specialism. Things might change. But at the moment, he looks like a fraud."

I'll take your word for it falace. More or less stopped following the NFL when it disappeared from Channel 4 until the highlights reappeared on the BBC. Rather a long time really but was aware of the Patriots round about the Brady/Gronkowski/Hernandez period.

Zeb its very similar to the early brady era patriots where he just protected the ball and let corey dillion run the ball and the defence suffocate teams.

"crystal falace 10:50 Sun Nov 14 The weird thing is that is so un-Bellichick. I can't remember a Patriots offence that used the run so much. Washington were very, very good."

"brilliant display by the skins tonight, missing numerous players but all stepping up üëèüëèüëè"

Mac jones and thenpatriots absolutely destroying the browns without their offensive centrepiece in damien harris. Just plug in a rookie RB and he trounces the 2nd best run defence in the league.

My fantasy team is getting thrashed this week thank to Ceedee Lamb (shame he didn't this for me last year) and Tom Brady's shocker.

Those damn fish! They're now above us in the AFC East. Their initial uselessness was the only thing keeping our season going.

Just noiticed that the Dolphins beat the Ravens last night. What a weird season this is. Go 'fins!
