I saw the Jags losing streak come to an end LIVE. Absolutely brilliant day. Still buzzing :lux:

Oh and was row 12 behind the field goal at the winning end. Had a half way line side view last week but view today was far better. Madden point of view and all the big plays at my end :p

Browns offense deciding that they don't actually want the ball so are just handing it to the Cardinals in a variety of ways.

Can we bin off Darnold yet? :hmph: Thanks!

Browns with yet another turnover.

Eagles currently have 3 of the top 9 picks in the 2022 draft. Considering how bad we are I'm gonna be watching teams against the Dolphin and Colts for the rest of the season.

9ers on SNF.
In the middle of the mega storm hitting CA.
They may as well be playing with a big bar of soap.

Only took the 9ers 1 half and 9 mins of the 3rdQ to convert a 3rd down *facepalm*
Following set of downs JG fumbles (for the umpteenth time) *double facepalm*
All Wentz has to do is throw it long at the SF safeties to draw a pass interference (just short of 100yds so far) *treble facepalm*

Panthers throwing their hat in the ring for DeShaun Watson. Not surprised given how shit Darnold is. Got benched in the 4th Quarter for PJ Walker yesterday.

Come back by the Jets? No way!

Colts, oh dear lol

What a game this Colts Titans match is

I watched it all! Great game. Titans are going to the superbowl!

Despite losing to the Titans, I still think the Bills are the best team in the AFC, but time will tell.

NFC, Green Bay are 7&1, even bottom KC are going to be a test on their defence

Jags won.

Last time Palace and Jags both won and made it a double weekend for me was September 2020. :eek:

9ers fold to a Murray-less Arizona.
Even their backup QB is better than Garappolo who is not good enough under pressure, not mobile enough, and can’t complete the critical plays.
Not fair to blame this seasons malaise entirely on him though. Injuries have played their part again - not having any running backs is a real issue. And the defence has been unusually poor.

I repeat.

Superman is home :love:

To be fair whilst it's not exactly 10/10 news, it's much better than some of the other names I heard banded about. And I'd take a well past it Cam Newton over Darnold or Walker any day of the week.

My old Newton #1 jersey is now valid again. :D

This is getting ugly The Atlanta Funk's Team.

They're setting them up for the big comeback.

Runs in a TD on his first play.
Then gets an unsportsmanlike penalty for being too hearty with his “I’m back!” taunts :D

I’ve been watching the lions v steelers, which has been a laugh a minute.
Goff really has no place on an NFL pitch.
The rest of the Lions too.

Welcome back SuperCam. :lux:

I've settled in to watch the Packers Seahawks game. Rodgers has a lot on his mind what with his anit-vax conspiracy SHIT he's been called out on :D

Team felt so much more alive and full of energy last night with Cam playing. Credit to Walker too though, he played well too and made some nice plays. At this rate we will be stuck with Donkey Darnold as third QB though. :hmph:

Actually feels great to have Cam back.

Dak vs Mahomes, who have people got?

Go Vikes! Always good to see GB get beat.

Kansas all day long.

Big match in the wildcard race next Sunday.

Indeed.
Back to back wins for my 9ers have us back in the picture, although my faith is not strong.

Always gonna be tough in the West.

The Vikings are the only team to have led by at least 7 in every game this season. Could conceivably be 9-1 or 2-8. Can look super bowl calibre and tank worthy in the same quarter, on both sides of the ball.

Frustrating, but exhilarating.

Have been off this thread for a while, enjoying my Cardinals rise through the flames to sit top of the rankings - been impressed by our offence though playoffs is a different beast.

Elsewhere, have definately been impressed with 49ers last few weeks. Beating up on sh*t is one thing but I think they are getting fitter and I can see them making the 7th seed. They will be a tough playoff team to face.

In the NFC, for me the Packers get 0 love still. They played well in the Vikings game but the Vikings came up just a little better. If they get Aaron Jones back from the playoffs fit they will be tough to beat in Lambo.

In the AFC, who knows. The Patriots love in continues, though I am not sure if the sum of the parts being better than the individual works all the way through the playoffs. Id imagine a few team could get up 14-0 early and they may be a very different side. Respected nonetheless and more consistent than most in the AFC. Not sure how much better they are than the Bengals who play in a tougher division, have a better QB and a star receiver, though they need to tighten up their defence. Reputation and coaching the only difference I see.

Pre seaon combos of Bills vs Packers, Rams or Buccs in the SBowl still seem in play to me, though the in-season Cardinals vs Cheifs is the one I wanna see!

Feel for the Lions there, they are a losing side and that was close for them but they blew it at the death.


Wait, blue kit, a lion on the helmet. Bollocks to them.

Enjoying 'my' Raiders taking it to the Cowboys, whose defence seems to suck so far, and are giving away a ton of defensive penalties - long may it continue

The Eagles drafting Reagor ahead of Justin Jefferson is one of the all time bad draft decisions.

I have no confidence in Garoppolo whatsoever

Do you think he heard me? LOL

3 unanswered TDs !!

EDIT: spoke too soon

Still feeling good?

At this rate, the Vikings record of winning or losing every game bar one (an easy win over the Seahawks) by a touchdown or less will not be broken.

Looks like Sky picked the wrong game tonight

I spoke too soon, great comeback by the Bengals

JG is so terribly not clutch

Vital win for the 9ers today.
Need to turn up against Tennessee on Thursday

Stayed up that. Raiders suck, threw it away against those no marks

Vikings sucked, but still pretty easily beat those no mark Bears.

I switched off just after the 3rdQ started... both teams were very poor.

Lol I went to bed in a rage after the interception but Raiders went on to kick a winning FG :D

Cant remember such an open NFL season? Id have 6 teams in the NFC with a serious chance (packers 49ers buccs cowboys cardinals rams (in that order) and I would have 4 or 5 in the AFC (im higher than most on the Bills, Titans (due to get serious players back) and the Colts) than most (Pats and Cheifs the others)

Impressive start by the 49ers. Improving every game.

Spoke too soon

Key players back - first pick running back to be precise. But ultimately Garoppolo simply isn't good enough.

I’ll edit that, he’s not 1) quick enough and 2) dynamic enough.

Further edit: as the 3rd Q abundantly shows. Just Awful.

Go Irish! :D

Why didn't the Saints sign some free agent QB for this week? This guy Book is a joke, and they had no chance to win by starting him. It's a miracle they got 3 points.

Soooooo we have 2 (3?) useless as shit QBs. Oh the joys! :)

**** me Brady Quinn... What a pile of shit he was. :moo:

NFL legend John Madden passed away today (US day) aged 85... a true character.

To be honest I thought he was already dead.

Sad. He probably had a few more years in him in the comms box and I doubt he would have stepped away it wasn’t for his fear of flying. Legend.

Probably the most distinctive voice among the commentators on this sport. I may be wrong but I think he was responsible for saying 'That may be 6 on the richter scale'(sic) when William (The Fridge) Perry of the bears barrelled over for a td in the Super Bowl!
A big loss in every way fo those whove been following the NFL for years

Antonio Brown levels up:

https://twitter.com/FieldYates/statu...33508034568192

AB is just nuts

Clearly mentally unstable and thinks he is better than everyone else

Incredible player though. I reckon someone will sign him but you'd be mad to do it in the pre season - you don't want him on your roster if it's not game week. As a thought, because he's been cut by the Bucs, doesn't that mean he's a free agent? I.E. because it's not a trade, can a team sign him?

https://www.bbc.com/sport/american-football/59873760

Are there many other Brits playing in the NFL? Seems strange about to become one of the top players a couple of years after starting playing a sport.

The Bucs haven't released him yet. I'm sure they are weighing their options as he is claiming he's hurt now.

The Cowboys blow out of the Eagles yesterday means the 9ers are one step closer to the playoffs.
Need Funk’s Falcons to do a number on the Saints today and 9ers can lose and still make the play offs
Of course win against the Rams and then it doesn’t matter….

He is claiming mental illness and maybe this is why he is not released yet. Tom Brady was very diplomatic when was asked about him

I just watched my Jags smash the colts. Loved every second of that :lux:

Apparently we've thrown the AFC into chaos with that win. Chargers and Raiders could both go through to playoffs with a tie later.

9ers don’t deserve to be in the play offs… absolutely awful 1st half so far. Awful.

Great 3rd Q - running the ball....
4th Q continue running the ball and playing for field position... finally get down to the red zone... and it’s Jimmy Crappolo to throw it away . I give in, he’s so bad in pressure situations.

I truly hope that’s the last time I see him in a 9ers offense . Let’s get going with Lance . He can’t be any worse.

OMG :D

EDIT: holy shit what an end to the game! JG pissed all over me to go 80 odd yds in 1:50 and send the game into OT.
And the 9ers pip it with a FG and a subsequent INT.

Crazy

The 49ers looked very relaxed about it all in OT.

I suspect they were in a sort of nothing to lose mentality. Rams looked the total opposite...

Raiders also win in OT... a lot of going down to the wire today.

Who do you support?

No one has ever sent a text about the Bengals winning a play-off game.

Last Bengals play off win 1991, first ever text sent 1992.
30 years... crikey!

Basically lost all interest in the NFL, but did find myself watching the OT in two games yesterday, and there might have been some re-kindling stirring in me.

When I first moved here in 1981 the Raiders also had just moved to LA. I went to see them a few times and they went on to win the Superbowl in 82 or 83 (not sure now) while an LA team. People at work used to tell me about the mystique that surrounded them, and I sort of got sucked in as a fan of them.

But in true Palace supporting fashion, they pissed off back to Oakland, and became basically crap (I know they did get to another Superbowl later but got whipped in that one).

Rams went away and then came back, Chargers have no links to LA... basically for reasons above, I would say I "support" The Raiders, but it is very minimal to say the least these days. Probably more apt to say I support whoever is playing The Rams!

Been watching rhe all or nothing series. On the panthers one, really like Cam Newton, is he still playing?

Define "playing."

Congratulations to Rays and Shine - winner of the CPFC Spread Pickers
1 Rays and shine 128-142
2 HughFF 123-147
3 Everybody Ertz 122-148
4 Tony P 121-149

who we going for chaps? My picks below

Bengals
Bills
Buccs
49ers
Cheifs
Cardinals (think this could be the closest game and yes, I am biased towards my Cardinals)

Anyone watching the Bills V Patriots?

Crikey I didn’t expect this

Yeah, I did. Massacre.

Absolute massacre, I was switching it between cricket and in the end I said sod cricket this is exciting lol

Go Bill's. It's our year as I keep on saying...

2fer so far... not at all so confident with the 9ers though. But other than that I agree... Rams Cards the closest to call.

Did anyone send a text message?

My first mobile phone was 98 I think I had a pager before that in 96. I used to go and find a phone to ring

Great start for the 49ers

9ers were my pick for this game. Bottling is in the modern Cowboys’ dna.

what are the white hankies about with the Cowboys. With Spanish football teams its a sign the fans think their team has surrendered

I hope so I hope so I hope so I hope so I hope so I hope so I hope so I hope so I hope so I hope so I hope so I hope so I hope so I hope so I hope so I hope so I hope so I hope so I hope so I hope so I hope so I hope so I hope so I hope so

What’s going on there? 2nd and 1 just QB sneak it! Not burn a time out and make a loss on the subsequent play *facepalm*

And breath
