NFL back this week

Deadline day has been and gone surprised there wasn’t more big moves?
Vikings seem to have made a sensible decision as Dobbs has looked a capable QB at the Cardinals this seasons and probably a better option than the rookies they have or Mullins.

Meltdown at the Raiders 🏴‍☠️
 
Bills looking very shaky now and I am loving this amusing Texans run mainly because, well, you have to love an underdog.

Jets being the Jets and finally 9ers wake up from their slumber.
 
Losing Milano & White for the season has been a huge blow to the Bills.

Also too much expectation is placed on Josh Allen, hence the number of errors this time around.

They still have to play the Eagles, Cowboys, Chiefs & Dolphins which I think is the last regular season game.

Currently can’t see them winning any of those. Dolphins have the AFC East to lose after this weekend.
 
It wasn't pretty last night but most of the damage was self inflicted and at no point did I feel they would lose.
It would be nice to have all the starters on the o/line playing together for once, it is impacting the run game, especially with the only decent TE they have being out as well.
With the impact Ramsey has made (what an interception the second one was) the defense is now starting to live up to it's potential. I agree home field advantage would be....well an advantage.

And the Jets QB shambles continues. A disgrace really that they never brought someone in with that defense.

The O line was that bad watching it live that even Mahomes would struggle to get things moving there. Maybe it is harsh on the Milfer after all, Wilson was defo no worse than Boyle was this week.

Breece Hall was just constantly being battered too
 
I was rooting for The Packers last night and next Sunday I'll be rooting for The Chiefs. If they beat The Bills, Miami just has to win it's next two games at home to The Titans and Jets to claim the division and at least one home game in the playoffs.
 
Stayed away from my phone all night only to come home and watch that. Gifted the game and then a combination of shocking game management and players thinking they had it won, gave it away.
Sick to death of injuries on the O/line. It seems to be every week.
Respect for Vrabel for going for the 2pt conversion.

Huge disappointment
14 up with 3 mins to play ! Shocking game management, Thought Tua looked poor though he was being rushed an awful lot. More injuries and too much dependency on Hill. Respect to the Titans for sticking in there
On to the Jesters but fearing where we will be in the Play Offs.
 
Happy with the progress the Broncos are making this season, 7-6 from a 1-5 start and an outside shot at AFC West. Payton & Wilson seem to have turned things around but 3 tough games in the last 4 including 2 against Divisional rivals
 
It’s been a cracking season so far as it’s still not clear who’s the stand outs. 9ers look the best but always liable to injuries, Eagles have shocked me last few games and Chiefs are a 2 man offence and ok defence.

Then you get the Milfer coming out and suddenly making Garret Wilson look like an elite WR once again just to amuse everyone.
 
Dear me. How far have the Chargers fallen. Herbert injured but what has happened?

34-0 down to Vegas with 3mins left in the first half and who scored zero last week.

Absolutely on their arses. Sad to see. Completely defeated.
 
Very good weekend for the bills, especially nice seeing the fish implode.

If they can win in dallas they might actually stand a chance of recovering a season full of blown games to lesser teams.

I'm a Bolt and I follow them quite closely, it's been an absolute mess this year. The sad thing is this was meant to be THE year because of the cap, they can't afford to keep some of the big name veterans for next season.

They allow far too many explosive plays on defence despite having some of the highest paid players in key positions and a defensive HC in Staley.

They started ok on offence but injuries to Mike Williams and Josh Palmer left them reliant on Keenan Allen (also now injured) and rookie Quentin Johnston who can't catch the football. They could have gone for Flowers who has been excelling at Baltimore but the GM Tom Telesco always goes for WR who are over 6ft, despite Johnston having a history of drops at college level.

They've been garbage on the run game for a few seasons, they looked decent the first couple of games then Austin Ekeler got an injury and hasn't looked the same since.

Herbert has pulled them out of sticky situations in the past but this was even a stretch too far for him and the injury has ended their season. Their next games are Broncos, Bills, and Chiefs so it's going to be a five win season... at least they'll get a decent draft pick.

Changes to GM and Head Coach are imminent, then it's a rebuild job with the hope of playoffs in two or three years. There were rumours of Belichick a few weeks back but they've gone quiet.

Think we had a conversation about the Charger WRs pre season? Age is catching up and injury prone as hell. Fit and they’ve got two gun WR with a QB who can throw.

Did I hear right that theyre considering swapping a 1st or 2nd draft pick in return for Bellichick??

Strong rumours that Bellichick is heading there. Very interesting.

We did and it's been the tale of two receivers. Keenan Allen is on track to have his best ever season, Mike Williams went down with an ACL so I doubt we'll see him play for the Chargers again.

It will be interesting to see what happens now Staley and Telesco have been fired. The Spanos family have a reputation for going for the cheap option i.e rookie Head Coaches but the fans are desperate for an experienced Head Coach. Belichick and Jim Harbaugh seem to be the fan's favourites but we'll have to wait and see, not sure what they'll do for Belichick or if he would even want to come.
 
You got to love the Cowboys. Smash everyone until they play any team that is actually good. Then they get battered. Every single time.
 
Routine for The Phins against a piss poor opponent but yet another O/Line injury.
If I was a Jets fan I would be questioning if a coaching change is needed. They knew they had an awful O/Line and back up QB's going into the season but his management of them has been horrendous. I guess that's what you get for putting all your eggs in one basket.

What are your thoughts on the last 3 games?
I think we need to beat the Cowboys, Ravens could go any way and the Bills could be a dead rubber.
That Titans defeat really hurt.

I'm a fan of Robert Saleh and I don't think canning him would do the organisation any good. They have done nothing but fire head coaches for the last decade or more.

I think that they've just suffered from what happened to Rodgers and because, as you say, all the eggs were in they have suffered terribly. I think the O line is so bad as there simply isn't any leadership or direction from QB and their confidence has been crushed.

Agreed Mac. Seeing how badly they’ve recruited on the O line makes you realise that it was always going to be a matter of time before Rodgers got injured.
 
Go Phins. Big win that. The question was there as to whether they could beat a contender plus Buffalo winning.

Bit of breathing space and a win in a great game.
 
Good to see a hard fought win. That final drive was clinically efficient. You would be hard pushed to say The Phins look like Superbowl winners but you've got to be in it to win it.
Looking forward to watching 49ers-Ravens in the morning

That win was without Waddle and Mostert in the main plus Hill with a sore ankle. Injuries are concerning.
 
Philly choking here. Crowd booing and the team getting frustrated.

Giants have some momentum here.

They keep blaming the receivers etc for dropping the ball but for me, it's on him.

Totally. That's why I posted. He was way off it tonight. He looked really slow and ponderous when he had the ball.

Listening now and the media blaming everyone except Machines. It's painful.
