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."

"fair play to the ravens, I underestimated them"

And then there was one. Niners only undefeated team in NFL. 19-0 ? Seattle Monday night football next up.

Just starting to give this cringe fest the benefit.. then the blue tent. Fuckin embarrassing The Yanks always find a way of ramping up the cսnt levels

Big win for the Chiefs today. Happy we've managed to split the Matt Moore games 1-1. Cousins really is a poor QB.

"Should say - give the interim HC job to Gregg Williams. Nobody will want the Jets job at this stage in the season, except for somebody who is already on the coaching staff. Give it Williams, kick Gase out the door as soon as possible and start the hunt for the next Jets head coach - a proper coach, a grizzly old bastard with a proven track record. Maybe Williams will prove to be that person."

"Unbelievable, really. To lose 18-25 to the Fins is genuinely disgraceful. Gase has to be sacked. Tonight. Admit they employed a fool, give the HC job to Gregg Williams and move on from this frog-eyed debacle as quickly as possible. That was embarrassing."

"Zeb - it's an utter shambles, mate. The Jets, believe it or not, are actually trying to win. Fish leading 26-15 with 4mins to go. Just seen one of the worst safeties I've ever witnessed. Almost, but not quite, Adam Gase's ""Butt Fumble"" moment. If he isn't sacked after this game, when we have lost to a team purposefully trying to lose as many games as possible this season, then you have to wonder whether he has got dirt on the owners or something! He is the worst head coach I have ever seen. No exaggeration. Far worse than Rich Kotite, who was gobsmackingly bad."

Regretting leaving Curtis Samuels on the bench (again). Might the Fins actually win?

"Going into the fourth quarter, the purposefully-tanking Fish lead trying-his-hardest-to-save-his-job Adam Gase's Jets 24-15. Gase is already in my top three worst coaches in NFL history. And is quickly flying past Rich Kotite into the #1 slot. He is genuinely trying to win games in order to save what remains of his awful head coaching ""career"" and yet he is losing to a team which is genuinely trying to lose as many games as possible this season so that they get the #1 draft pick. How utterly shit must you be as a coach to be in that position? Think of all of the worst bits of Glen Roeder and Avram Grant, mix them together, shake them about a bit so that he goes frog-eyed, pour them into a vat of stinking oil, piss, bile and cabbage, and let them slip out into a burning skip in Lidl car park. And then you've got Adam Gase."

Fucking 49ers

"bandwagon's a good word for it. seahawks aside, they've beat a lot of poor teams, but I do like jackson a lot"

"I watch a few of these NFL talk shows during the week and the bandwagon is definitely rolling for wifh them picking the Ravens. Loads of them are on it and to be fair, they have good reason."

"Kwon Alexander out for the year, torn Pec. That hurts, he's our best and fastest Linebacker. Not good."

Osi said on NFL this week that the Raven's are probably the best equiped offence to deal with the Pat's pass rush and man coverage as they wing it a lot when the play gets broken.

"they're pretty one dimensional, andrews has been ok but there's not much more other than the QB's legs to worry about"

"Actually pretty apprehensive about the Ravens game this week, they always seem to play the Pats tough and Harbaugh seems to be one of the few coaches who doesnt piss down his leg the minute he makes eye contact with Belichick. Pats havent stopped the run well this year and the Ravens are the number 1 rushing attack in the league, Pats play alot of man coverage which means running down field with their backs to the QB which is where Jackson is liable to take off running. That being said im sure BB is relishing the opportunity to face such a unique threat and will have something special lined up to keep him in the pocket and force him to beat them with his arm which is why i cant bring myself to start Jackson in my fantasy team this week."

"Now that the fallout of the Jets' absolute meltdown ahead of trade deadline day is in full swing, the good thing is that we're learning a lot more about how Gase got the job despite his terrible record, and sacking, in Miami. Apparently, Peyton Manning called the Jets' co-owner, Chris Johnson, and encouraged Johnson to appoint Gase. That seems to be the main reason why Gase got the job. Not scouting the man, not deeply researching his teams and video type to study his playbook and his capacity as a coach. Not multiple references from multiple sources, including other coaches. A quick phone call from Peyton Manning. And Gase got the job. Above an experinced Super Bowl winning coach, and long-time winning record holder, Mike McCarthy. Peyton Manning, by how own admission, ran his own offence in Denver when he worked with Gase. There are multiple interviews online where Manning talks openly about how he got a lot of leeway under Gase, as offensive co-ordinator, to make the final decision on where the ball goes. And I don't blame Denver or Gase for that: Manning was a superb quarterback (one of the best in history) and knew how to run his own game. Gase did very little. Manning obviously liked that. But that does not mean Gase is a good coach. It just means Denver had a brilliant, albeit ageing, quaterback. Who took them to, and won, the Super Bowl. So why didn't Johnson and others (including the former GM) see that and know that? Why take a short phone call from Manning, a mate of Gase because Gase let him do his own thing in Denver, and then throw all of your planning for a new head coach out of the window? Just knowing Manning is not a reference for a head coaching job. Nuts. That's the kind of franchise the Jets are under Johnson & Johnson. Flimsy and whimsical. And now we're 1-6 and staring down the barrel of a gun. Again."

"Niners looking solid, though. Can't argue with 8-0. Woke up this morning to read that four teams made inquiries about trading Lev Bell before the deadline: Chiefs, Packers, Texans and...quite incredibly...the Steelers. The Steelers? Where he sat out an entire season and forced his way out? Then I read that the person behind the rumour was Bell's agent. So I filed it in the 'utter bollocks' box."

"Defending for the opening drives in each half was shit, though both drives would have been over long before the red zone anyway if it weren't for silly penalties. Things like the horse collar annoy the fuck out of me, as it's the most obvious foul to spot and they must realise the officials aren't going to miss it. First one done for that was when they were on 3rd and long and was so pointless as the cսnt had no chance of getting anywhere anyway."

"I tried trading for Drake this week, the guy turned me down and then left him on the bench! Havent seen anything from the game last night after the first drive but seems like a poor defensive performance, that game shouldnt have been close on paper. Even Richard Sherman was saying it wasnt good enough after the game."

"Thought we looked jaded in parts after the quick turnaround and credit to the cards, as they actually played pretty well and Murray will do well for them for years. Lovely getting a win and then having a nice longer break, as it gets tough now and we seem to be getting lots of injuries to key players."

"Jimmy Gunslinger stepped up tonight. That performance should shut up the doubters. 136.9 QBR 16-2 as a starter. We got a D, a running game and a QB. Sanders looked great out there too, so did Kittle. Winners win gentlemen! 8-0.... Baby!"

"We've loved giving away cheap TD's on the first drive for years, but hopefully normal service now resumed."

"Anyone short of a QB in our fantasy league want to make me an offer for Jared Goff? Been waiting on Feeley's helmet to answer a trade propsal i made but its getting time sensitive with the Thursday night game so if that can't go through then im open to offers. A good running back would get the deal done, im pretty stacked at receiver"

Decent QB not as good as Staubach though
