NFL (since 2016)

[crystal falace]

"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."

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

[El Scorchio]

The four falls. Great doc. 

gotta laugh how the Giants every year do all the hard work to be soul destroying Fuckjng terrible but getting into  a great draft position before a meaningless win or two in December drops us down from a prime, prime pick to fifth or similar. Cant even be good at being shit. All things considered we shouldn’t pick lower than second but I wouldn’t be in the slightest bit shocked if we win again this weekend to drop to 5 or 6.

Yep. The G MEN. Washington.( Not allowed to name them.) And the Cowgirls twice. All were a bit special. And everyone feels they should have sealed the deal with at least one of them. (They lost against the Giants with a missed field goal.) There's been a few teams since who have won the Super Bowl who wouldn't be able to hold a candle next to that Buffalo team.

Didn't the Bills lose four straight Super Bowls?

Almost as bad as the Vikings, lost four sbs but not four straight.

Andre Reed. Thurman Thomas and Bruce Smith weren't chop liver.! And Marv Levy knew his onions. (And still going strong at 100.)

[Far Cough UKunt]

Mike, Jim Kelly?

[RBshorty]

Thank God for The Cleveland Browns. Their win meant our win saw us falling to 2nd in the draft. Bring on The Cowgirls next weekend. Because after this season. We deserve a good fucking.!

GO G MEN.!

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

Yep - agree with this. They’re a strong team in all departments. See how quickly Vrabel has sorted them out?

I'm sure I said the jets people should have made an offer too good to refuse, maybe he would have waited for the pats opportunity anyway? It's amazing watching a bit of that later game yesterday with the Bills, and thinking back to how they've now had two very good QBs but can't get it done. Difference being, at least big Jim got them to the dance a few times. Josh can't even make the last step

yes, that strange fucker

great receiver though, when he fancies it

[Far Cough UKunt]

Is that the Diggs that used to play for the Vikings?

Another absolute caning at the hands of the Patsies - with more than 40 points conceded.

The Jets have now conceded more points in December than any other NFL team in history. Glenn insists he’s not tanking because he has the draft capital not to. Which means he’s just a poor HC who sold the family silverware.

Incredibly, we’re in worse shape now than 12 months ago. Nothing has got better. Offense, defense, special teams - all worse. Nobody knows what they’re doing.

No more rookie HCs. With the exception of Rex, the Jets have only ever thrived under experienced coaches: Ewbank, Parcells etc. Even Rex cut his teeth calling plays as DC in Baltimore.

Get Mike McCarthy, and let him pick his (experienced) co-ordinators. He will have his flaws, of course. But his NFL record is good, he knows what the structure of an NFL team should look like, and he knows how to draft.

 

[southbankbornnbred]

Seen enough.

The Jets need to ditch Aaron Glenn. He isn’t ready to be a head coach. Like Saleh wasn’t.

Its going to take a grizzled old cսnt, who knows his way around the NFL, to fix the Jets. I like Glenn as a person, but he’s way out of his depth.

We probably need somebody like Mike McCarthy, who can also bring with him some experienced co-ordinators. I’m done with rookie HCs.

Niners will beat the Seahawks in the last game to clinch the division

[southbankbornnbred]

It’s the Pats and the Bills in the AFC. Rams and Seahawks in the NFC. Fatigue and injuries are slowly cutting everyone else adrift. And Big Blue solidify the No 1 pick next Spring. Who ever wants it. It won’t be cheap.!

GO G MEN.

If I were the Giants, I’d at least have a bit of a think about taking Mendoza with the top pick.

If you think that Dart is your man, then, sure, sell the pick. But there are some who think Mendoza is a generational talent and you might want to trade Dart.

FWIW, I have no idea if Mendoza is generational or just a very good college QB at this point. Hard to judge. His mechanics, reads and poise are excellent - you can certainly see that. Touch of the Joe Burrow about him.

The Jets no doubt have the spending power to take the #1 pick should they wish. But they have to consider the price, especially if Dante Moore also declares for the draft. They could land Moore for half the Mendoza “money” - and then take a prime WR to go with him and Garrett.

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.

[Far Cough UKunt]

What's happened to the Chiefs?

Didn't Europe have gridiron football once? London Monarchs.

I saw them a few times as a kid, it was absolutely brilliant for a couple of years. Nosedived after a while though. The legendary Stan Gelbaugh!

Loved watching Jerry Glanville's smash mouth football, I think Warren Moon was a part of that?

 

 

yes, they made the playoffs together multiple times but I don't think they got on. jerry was a character

this is good

many end up playing in the CFL (Canadian Football League), or other alternative leagues

arguably, the greatest CFL player was the undrafted Warren Moon. he's a great example of hard work and never giving up
