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."

[Grumpster]

Was surprised it was only 13-3, but I can't see seattle beating one of the better teams left in.

Decent D, but if they can only get 13 against a team missing 20 players of which 3 will be hall of famers and another is the number 1 wr, they'll come unstuck against the AFC mob.

Very open year though.

Seahawks Vs Pats. Super Bowl rematch.?

At least this time around. Seattle fans ain't got to worry about another Pete Carroll brain fart.!

Yes Seattle! What a performance!

He was the jewel in the crown of the ‘83 draft.

Even among that amazing crop, he was clearly the best player in the draft. Which is saying something.

[Far Cough UKunt]

He was one of the famed 1983 quarterback class the Baltimore Colts wanted to draft him but for some reason he didn't want to go there? He probably could have been a baseball player, for the Yankees I believe?

Just rewatched John Elway and that 98 yards drive FMOB and it was on a potato field as well.



 

he was, for me, the best I watched. the ultimate competitor

Totally agree. The best, most complete QB I’ve ever seen. Doesn’t have the Super Bowl rings that Brady has, but he didn’t have Belichick and that programme around him.

When the Broncos did put a team around him, he delivered two titles.

Unbelievable arm and accuracy, could scramble, was tough (often played through injuries), natural leader and had that unexplainable ability to produce gold out of dust. Or, more often, out of snow. The best, in my book.

More good news, my son just found out he is first team All American for Junior College. Which is pretty bad ass

Here’s what it means.

Nice one 

[Joe C]

Darnold showing, once again, the obvious talent he had that the Jets failed to develop.

Fucking graveyard of a franchise under Woody.

TBF, he’s been a bit shaky these last few games - basically since the loss in LA. But he’s still pulled himself round in the second half of each game. 

We’ll need him and our whole O to be fully on their game Saturday night. Whiners are very good going forwards, but there D is obviously weakened with all the injuries they have. 

This game is either going to be ridiculously high scoring or a horrible battle of attrition. 

Also, Nutsin, putting our game aside for a moment - that’s amazing. You must be very proud

Effin’ hell, Nutsin - that’s great news! Well done to your son.

Well, I certainly didn't see that Falcons result coming.  Straight fight between us and the 49ers now for the NFC #1 seed.

1am Sunday start for me, thank fuck I sold my Wolves tickets

[southbankbornnbred]

Well the Jets have got tanking down to a fine art, I know you're rivals but maybe ask them for some tips. 

We are inadvertently brilliant at tanking. Our tactic is simple: have the Johnson & Johnson family as owners!

[southbankbornnbred]

other than the Bengals, I don't think there's many better form teams than the Patriots. I think the 9/1 on offer is a great bet for the SB. only worry for them is if Diggs goes down, but Maye has already shown he doesn't need to rely on one specific receiver

13 losing  season turnaround to a 13 (as it stands)..winning season is impressive.
Maye is on fire , he lives on the edge and gets sacked a lot, but he is great to watch and only going to get better...next season up against a harder roster will be his test.
9/1 for the Pats is fantastic value, but I think theyll come up short this season.
That  King  Henry for the Ravens is some RB , that's what the Pats lack, real top draw to go all the way to  win the SB.

yes, we got punished with an horrific schedule this year and couldn't have had a worse season with injuries. it's been dogshit, but should get better in the future

Keep the faith, TM. If Daniels gets fully fit again, then things will turn.

[southbankbornnbred]

Hard fought victory for the Patriots in Baltimore.
Back on track for No 1 seed.
Broncos have the chargers to come,  Chiefs too, I think they'll do them without Mahomes .
Pats have jets and dolphins , vital games to clinch the division as well as No 1 seed .
Jets away worries me

The Jets always worry me. And I follow the Jets.

.
I was surprised at how poor the Jets were , usually up for the Pats.
Jets seem to be the WHU of the NFL...
I watched the Brett Favre documentary last night , I didn't realise he played at the Jets...was he any good ( for Jets)..?..
Happy new year to you and yours btw Southbank and Mike.
Both very knowledgeable fellas

Happy New Year to you and yours, too, Monsieur. Hope you have a great week, and a roaring 2026.

Yeah, the Jets’ lack of fight against the Patsies was one of the most alarming features of a truly terrible season. We usually make those games more competitive, even when we’re shite - which is often! But we’re currently so poor we can’t even get up for a grudge match. New England are very good again, though. Which is worrying, speaking as somebody who had to endure the Belichick/Brady era as a divisional rival!

Favre was good for the Jets until his shoulder went. Then his form fell off a cliff. We had him for just one season and went 9-7. We lost our last few games, though, IIRC. It could have been much better. But Favre initially retired with the injury, before making another comeback.

[RBshorty]

Cracking game last night. I just can’t see 49ers going all the way. You will eventually come up against a team who will shut up shop. And San Francisco keeps leaking TD’s. Would be great to see Purdy (Mr Irrelevant) Win the Super Bowl MVP. And make them talent spotter’s look daft.! It’s been interesting this season. No one has stood above everyone else, At the top end of the league. Everyone going into the playoffs are capable of turning over the top seed. Vegas are rightfully nervous.

GO G MEN.

Niners keep winning even though they continue to lose players to injury.

Kittle was out, Trent Williams our Pro bowl Left tackle pulls his hamstring on the first play of the game. We had 3rd string corners playing and still won. Amazing effort the Bears are a good team this year.

N ct up it’s Seattle at home for the number 1 seed and a bye.
Gonna be some game.
