Red faces at NFL HQ.

Mike Evans is killing the Redskins.

He is just doing what he wants against us.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 25 Oct 2015, 8:06 pm

Not the greatest minute for Todd Bowles - weirdly doesn't call timeout, then sends a blitz which doesn't cover Gronk.

by crazy_dave23 Sun 25 Oct 2015, 8:17 pm

Jets recover the onside kick...

by Number-25 Sun 25 Oct 2015, 8:19 pm

Redskins win!!

Biggest comeback in franchise history.

I guess Gruden gets to keep his job Doh

Amari Cooper is incredible

by Lowlandbrit Sun 25 Oct 2015, 9:48 pm

Is Rivers going for some sort of passing record? His team seems to be trying to get him as much garbage time to throw in as possible.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 25 Oct 2015, 10:07 pm

Hoping for some Keenan Allen garbage time TD's

Don't feel silly, I had pretty much given up by the start of the second qtr. But I still hold to this; the NFC East is a cauldron of ineptitude. Until one team builds up a 2-3 game lead over the rest, nobody can be favourite. The Giants capitalised on a poor Cowboys team, that managed to massively outgain them and chew up 2/3 of the clock and still lose. If the Eagles lose later, Skins will be back in 2nd place, 1 game behind the Giants. And still Dallas will be only 2 wins off the lead. This division will probably still be all to play for in week 12 or 13, and maybe up to the last game. I don't mean to insinuate the Skins will win or that whoever does win the East will go anywhere in the playoffs, but its far from all over now.

And I'm still not sold on Gruden yet, but it took balls to call that o/s KO and to keep his guys motivated in the 2nd half was no mean feat. Maybe he is a good coach after all.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 26 Oct 2015, 9:14 am

There are genuine articles saying the dolphins are now challengers to the patriots in the afc east - that's the 3-3 dolphins with an interim head coach who have just beaten the two worst teams in the league to get to 3-3.

Lolz

You have got to feel for Arian Foster... the guy cannot get a break

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 26 Oct 2015, 10:18 pm

Probably played his last snap as a Texan too

by Lowlandbrit Tue 27 Oct 2015, 9:26 pm

Lions have fired a bunch of offensive coaches and promoted Jim Bob Cooter to OC, because apparently that's the actual name of a real person.

Goodnight Jim Bob

Sammy Watkins or Jadeveon Clowney - who's the bigger bust?

by Number-25 Wed 28 Oct 2015, 11:49 pm

Clowney.

Has he actually tackled anyone yet?

by mikeygnfl Fri 30 Oct 2015, 12:52 am

Time for the Patriots to lose I think cake

That is partly for my preseason Dolphins to win the Super Bowl bet and partly to wind up Olly laughing

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 30 Oct 2015, 9:51 am

I wouldn't have thought a Dan Campbell led squad would've won in Gillette if Jimmy G was playing

Can't believe people got hyped slut Miami after a win against Houston ffs

I'd say Watkins. Clowney has been very good against the run, just isn't getting sacks. Which in fairness was his main job, but at least he's contributing somewhere

by Bull Fri 30 Oct 2015, 12:58 pm

The Giants will be the first team to beat the Pats. Mark my words!

by mikeygnfl Fri 30 Oct 2015, 2:24 pm

The Dolphins were pretty awful from what I seen in the first half. Cameron Wake is out for the season now too.

by Number-25 Fri 30 Oct 2015, 9:41 pm

Pats are going 16-0.

Giants will get them in the Superbowl though.... Whistle

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 01 Nov 2015, 3:21 pm

Detroit are abysmal

by Number-25 Sun 01 Nov 2015, 7:35 pm

Steelers uniforms are hurting my head!

vomit

by Lowlandbrit Sun 01 Nov 2015, 8:27 pm

I quite like them. Bit of variety.

That might be the last we see of Steve Smith.

by GSC Sun 01 Nov 2015, 8:33 pm

Hands up those who left Brees on the bench picard

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 01 Nov 2015, 8:43 pm

The giants saints is freaking mental

Yep

by Number-25 Sun 01 Nov 2015, 9:39 pm

I've just seen Brees' stat line..... f'in ridiculous!

by GSC Sun 01 Nov 2015, 9:42 pm

Obviously, a game with 13 passing TDs and tied at 49 ends on a 50 yard FG after the punter commits a facemask

by GSC Sun 01 Nov 2015, 9:43 pm

Oh, and the facemask was on a guy recovering a fumble

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 01 Nov 2015, 9:48 pm

Leaving Brees on the bench against this giants D is a firable offence

by Guest Sun 01 Nov 2015, 10:09 pm

Oakland flying out of the blocks again, lets hope it continues and our game management is better than last week in the latter stages

Also Woodson is a legend

by GSC Sun 01 Nov 2015, 10:16 pm

I had Rivers vs the Ravens and Brees has been up and down

by Guest Sun 01 Nov 2015, 10:38 pm

Im not having a bad night fantasy football wise. 198 points with emmanuel sanders yet to play

by Guest Sun 01 Nov 2015, 11:58 pm

The raiders clock management reeks of a team that are not used to being in winning positions

by twelve283 Mon 02 Nov 2015, 12:02 am

Geno Smith is a moron. Erm

Two of the dumbest plays a QB can make.

by Guest Mon 02 Nov 2015, 12:14 am

Ive never played the game before, but i know as a QB you dont take sacks in those positions

The jets were awful on both sides of the ball tonight though. We made their defense look amateur, or rather they did that themselves.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 02 Nov 2015, 9:01 am

Oakland are a little frisky this season, an outside shot of a wildcard (although unlikely)

by **Pr4wn** Mon 02 Nov 2015, 9:33 am

Quietly, Jameis Winston is starting to play some solid football.

Now, if only our defence could get a stop here or there we wouldn't have a bad team!

by sodhat Mon 02 Nov 2015, 10:01 am

The Raiders have a winning record after week 8.

Someone broke the NFL.

by **Pr4wn** Mon 02 Nov 2015, 10:17 am

Carr looks like a star. If that defence can get its act together, Oakland could be a pretty good team!

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 02 Nov 2015, 12:39 pm

Been impressed with what I've seen of Winston - can make all the throws. Just needs to cut out the bonehead turnovers.

Carr has been excellent, and credit to Reggie McKenzie. That offensive line is very good, giving him time to throw. Obviously amari Cooper is a monster helps a lot as well.

Bortles has also progressed well this season imo. Good to see the young QB's making strides.

by GSC Mon 02 Nov 2015, 1:09 pm

The only one who's gone backwards is Bridgewater.

by **Pr4wn** Mon 02 Nov 2015, 1:42 pm

Indeed, and I'm not sure he'll ever have a good arm.

Winston is without an interception in three games now, that's very good for him!
