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."

That Adams is a right cսnt

"That's two years in a row the Seahawks have taken A QB out of the first playoff game with a headshot. I really don't like them. Wilson aside, they have no redeeming features."

*for some* it shows how good a play caller Sean is that he got them to a superbowl

"This game will be decided on a level of shitness - Goff, or our O"

"haha Goff is so bad. like someone said about Haskins, getting to the NFL is winning the lottery some of these bad passers, and Goff is very bad :.)"

"That's the way I saw it. Always looks dodgy, but impossible to not make contact from where he was and he done well not connecting with his head."

"Hi Grumps! And TM, do piss off - was never a foul. How was Adams supposed to stop that motion? Was called correctly"

"Common sense prevails for once. Not nice wanting the Rams to win, but id rather hitler back on the scene than a seahwaks win, as he was never as big a cսnt as the legion of boom :o)"

"I disagree, the QB was clearly going to ground and there was no need to make contact. the best thing for the Seahawks was Goff coming on to the field"

"I mean fuck the seahwaks, but that's never a flag. QB's are more protected than goalkeepers. If you want to run, then you should be able to hit them like you would a RB and it wasn't his helmet."

He was not down by contact - thankfully it didn't matter.

I'd be fucking livid about that call if I were a Bills fan.

"that 4th & 3 before half time when the bills were clearly going to call time out for the FG and the lineman jumped offside, unforgivable shit"

Perfect pass and Diggs just left the poor corner in the dust.

Looking very good for the Bills now.

"some bad play calls and decisions from the Colts coach, you take the points on fourth down"

josh allen getting frustrated :.)

Looking forward to tonights wildcard games. Cant see many shocks. Think the Browns will do the Steelers again though.

"another problem is where we're drafting, they won't be interested in picks that high, so teams like miami or the jets are in position to deal for him if interested and have the cap room"

"yes zeb, loads of cap space and just brandon scherrff to pay at the end of the season, who's currently on a franchise tag. one problem is now much the texans would want for him, probably two first round picks/a second round pick and maybe one of the better players like one of our defensive linemen (allen, payne or settle). they may want more than that so it may be a case where they'll get him to stay because of the demands they want"

Takashi Miike 10:50 Fri Jan 8 Does your mob have the cap space? If so an absolute brainer.

Wow. Watson is a good QB. The no-names should definitely go after him.

"deshaun watson wanting out, go get him Ron :.)"

"Jets have interviewed Eric Bieniemy (OC) from Kansas City for their head coach position. They've also interviewed Marv Lewis (formerly of the Bengals) and plan to speak to at least three other candidates. I'd take Bieniemy. He's a risk, because he's never been a head coach and nobody really knows to what extent the brilliant Andy Reid still runs the Chief's offense in practice. But I think Bieniemy is worth a punt considering the position we are in. He has served under Reid - one of the best - for a long time and he wants the role. Lewis did well in Cincinnati, considering they are no great shakes as a franchise. He spent 16 years there and still emerged with more wins than losses, which is no mean feat. But he's more of a defensive specialist and we need an offensive mind, in my view (Darnold, Mims, Herndon, Becton etc are all talented but need a good offensive HC to give them direction)."

"TM - I know exactly what you mean about Darnold. I think the guy still has talent, and he entered the NFL a year earlier than most QBs. Gase tried his level best to waste the talent and time Darnold had, but I watch him all of the time and he's got good fundamentals. His problem is his reads/check-downs, and they are coachable. If his primary receiver is covered, he takes too long to adjust. But a good QB/OC coach can improve that - it was also Brady's problem entering his draft, for example. Darnold has good throwing mechanics/technique, a decent arm and OK accuracy (which can also be coached to improve). And he moves well in the pocket when we can actually make a pocket for him! He's also built a decent relationship with an excellent young receiver in Mims. I'd be tempted to back him fully for 2021, to boost his confidence, pick up a half-decent veteran in free agency (Rivers? Trubisky?) as a back/up, and trade our second first-round pick to a needy franchise. That way, we'll have two first-rounders up our sleeve in 2022 if Darnold bombs under a new head coach. We've got multiple second and third round picks anyway, due to the Adams deal. Then we could use the #2 pick to grab (OL) Sewell or (WR) Smith. Sewell plays in a dull/boring position for most fans - but good lineman (especially) tackles are worth their weight in gold because they give quarterbacks time. The Jets' roster is absolutely dire and we have big needs everywhere - so there won't be a miraculous single-year turnaround to a play-off team. It'll take time to build a decent side from here. So the new coach should back Darnold, improve the wider team through the draft, and take his time. The alternative that could tempt them out of that is probably Wilson."
