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."

NFC west will certainly be interesting this season with the seahawks still looking competitive and the Rams maybe taking a step back towards the pack. Could be some very close division races across the board this season other than the AFC east and west which are over already. Crazy stat i saw today only 3 out of the 16 teams in the AFC have a winning record all the rest are 2-2 or worse

[Takashi Miike]

easy schedule until the second half of the season but the defence has looked ok

[crystal falace]

"49ers look ok but they've beaten up on some bad teams so far (which is what you expect a good team to do) Jameis winston had one of his bad days week 1 where he just threw the ball up for grabs over and over again, Steelers without big ben week 2 and even then 49ers turned the ball over 5 times, and the 0-4 ""dumpster fire"" bengals. the defence has improved for the niners and Shannahan has got the run game going but Jimmy G still looks a bit out of sorts which is to be expected when coming back from a long injury layoff. Much tougher test against the Browns this week who are finally looking like the team they were hyped up to be all offseason, good time to see what the niners are really made of."

[Nutsin]

"San Francisco is third in scoring (32 points per game), fourth in yardage (421), eighth in opponents' scoring (18 points) and third in total defense (283 yards). And their seven takeaways are still tied for the fourth most in the NFL despite being one of two teams that's already had a bye week. The 49ers are the only undefeated team in the NFC Read more here: https://www.sacbee.com/sports/nfl/san-francisco-49ers/article235684437.html#storylink=cpy"

Isaac. I genuinely laughed at that!

[Nutsin]

Hope you are all paying attention to the Niners!

[Hermit Road]

"I'm up against whoever's got Carson 'walk-it-to-'em' Wentz, just when hes about to throw for 500 yards and 6 TDs against the Jets. Hopefully the Birds defence can even it up a bit and shut them out."

PPS - At least we finished 1 game clear of the Fins.

"[Nips back into dark house, writes note to Adam Gase....] ""Dear Adam. Thank you for your single year of service to the New York Jets. It was such a shame that a record of 1-15 meant you were just squeezed out of the play-offs. But look on the bright side - you won't have to spend the remainder watching draft tape of the Fighting Irish. All the best when you get to the Canadian Football League. Southbank. PS - could you take your name off the office door? Ta."""

[southbankbornnbred]

"Well that's our entire season fucked then. Everybody out! [Packs bag, checks flight times to Chile and switches off lights]"

[crystal falace]

"Sounds like Darnold may be out a bit longer than expected ""My Spleen is gonna do what it's gonna do"" is the quote from him i believe, as this Mono infection greatly swells the spleen due to infection there's a real danger of it rupturing if he plays and takes a bad hit in the wrong spot so should definitely not be rushed back."

"TM - spot on. Good player, Herndon. Had a really solid year last season. Need to make sure Darnold is back, though. Should know more about his heath by Wednesday."

*past behaviour*

[Takashi Miike]

"to be honest, I've seen worse hits than that but his last behaviour added to this has got him the ban. at least juju gave him something similar last season :.) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fOfIObhGMe0"

"SB, one positive for your mob is getting back TE Chris Herndon from suspension, he'll really help Darnold"

[Takashi Miike]

what's he done now?

[zebthecat]

Burfict banned for the rest of the season - about time really.

[El Scorchio]

"The talking heads are full of shit. Best not to take it in. Saying he was only drafted because he's black is stupid. There's far too much money at stake for the teams to be concerned about that over performance. Definitely he would have been drafted on his talent and anyone saying otherwise is just providing clickbait. Ironicially, the Giants got called racist in the media for NOT drafting Haskins as opposed to Jones. I think you just have to hope he has the temperment to play the long game and stay focused in a team that needs rebuilding. You also have to hope that the management are able to do that, and also have his best interests at heart. At least the fans will get behind him and want him to succeed."

[Takashi Miike]

"nothing to do with his play last night. for some reason a few have it in for the kid, one particular youtube can channel posting shit last week about a still photo of him looking a bit bored on the bench during the bears vame, another channel saying he was only drafted because he's black and the owner was virtue signalling. brady would struggle playing behind our line and for these coaches. I've never known the hatred be so bad for an owner/gm, and that's where these roles should be forgetting their anger"

[southbankbornnbred]

"Scorch - I know exactly what you mean. But as TM will tell you, young Haskins is the very least of the Skins worries/problems at the moment. He needs a year or two to learn the ropes alongside a good, communicative veteran QB and coach. But it'll be hard for Haskins to do that in the current environment at Washington. He isn't quite ready for pro-style offences yet, but has obvious talent. The problem is, that must be the worst environment to be in if you want to develop. The Skins are more of a mess than the Jets - and that is saying something!"

[RBshorty]

Browns was a good result

[El Scorchio]

"Really unfair to judge Haskins on yesterday, (and obviously he's got a lot of learning to do with his relative lack of experience, especially in running a pro style offense) he clearly needs to be given enough time to establish himself, but if were I a Skins fan, i might be a little concerned with some of the stories and rumours I've read about his general attitude and demeanor."
