I also agree with the majority of that. Pennington is far superior to Cassel and always seems to prove a point against New England.

Matty has little-to-no pocket presence at all, he doesnt feel confident running with the ball or throwing on the run which is what K O'C is incredibly confident at.

But, he is in the team at the moment to manage the game.

Its supposed to be.. RUN, RUN, SLANT TO WELKER/LONG TO MOSS depending on Field position.

I blame the D who could not deal with it and typically Bruschi, whose job it was to play-call on the field. They looked better with Mayo there alongside Guyton/Crable with Jerod doing alot of the calling in-play but the game was gone there.

I also think that the call on Cassels sack/TD changed the game massively.

7 points instead of an sack followed by INT which means the Phins are chasing the game instead of going up the other end with bluffs, fakes and consistent passing.

The Pats made Pennington look like Peyton Manning, was it 18/20? but I take nothing away from his quality there.

Overall, the Phins deserved and took apart the worst overall performance (bar Hobbs on Special Teams) in a long time, probably since Brady took over.

Their fans (not you or Edenbridge Exile of course) are absolute ••••tards.

Now for my final catchup post :D

After going back and listening to some draft shows, the guys I listen to were desperate for Gholston, to the extent that they declared the draft over when he went to the Jets. But then they did have a Cowboy on their staff as the College Scout guy so what do they know there.

But, they knew a lot about Mayo, saying that it was a good decision to take him at 10 as he was expected to go at 15.

As for MAYO

Rookie of the Year I tellsya.

My other point is Bruschi vs Mayo.

One tackle less overall, but look at Unassisted tackles. Bruschi jumps on the pile, Mayo starts the pile.

Now back to my normal news postings.

Starting with some sad news.

RIP Matthew, football doesn't matter when things like this happen.

Much nicer than the Jets / Packers green to be fair! ;)

Nope. It is rancid :D

For UK fans info

Channel 5 games for this season. Will bold the ones where our teams are involved:
No Dolphins or Jets games so Favre obviously doesnt affect C5

I will try and find an updated Sky Schedule through to Dec but have had little joy so far.

Well I managed to find a decent one and this one took some time to edit and format, but again it has been boldened on matches involving BBS'ers teams. (Is Blue Boy the Seahawks fan? I know there is one somewhere!)

Oh, and still no Miami game (Apologies to our distinguished Fish)

I see we're going to have to agree to disagree! :o But then I did almost end up an Eagle rather than a Panther!

Here's an interesting one...

Name your (everbody) top 5 uniforms in the NFL right now...

5. San Diego Chargers White Jersey
4. Seattle Seahawks (Blue)
3. Baltimore Ravens (Purple)
2. Carolina Panthers (Light blue)
1. Cincinatti Bengals (Black with orange tiger stripes)

And worst...

5. Green Bay Packers (White with yellow trousers?)
4. San Fran / Tampa Bay (Red and gold?)
3. NYJ (Green is my favourite colour but their green uniform is putrid)
2. Indinapolis Colts white uniform is so dull!
1. Oakland Raiders, I couldn't decide which one so I'm going with both! There's just nothing about them! One is plain black, the other is plain white!

Am a lucky Redskins fan - fair few games on telly, plus I saw one live :)

Why not just post the link? ;)

1. San Diego Chargers Change (White Jersey)
2. San Diego Chargers Retro (Light Blue)
3. San Francisco Change (White, Gold, Red Numbers)
4. Green Bay Packers Home (Green jerseys, Yellow trousers)
5. Denver Broncos Home (All navy, orange stripe down both sides)

And worst...

1. New York Giants Home (Blue shirts, grey trousers)
2. Denver Broncos Change (Orange shirt)
3. NYJ (Green, white stripes)
4. Arizona Cardinals (Any - they all look bland)
5. Steelers Home - (Black, yellow stripes)

Best:

1) Chargers retro powder blue.
2) Titans predominantly navy home jersey.
3) (tie) Cowboys home and Steelers home, both classics.
5) Bears home.

Worst:

1) Lions alternate black jersey.
2) Bengals alternate orange.
3) Seahawks road white jersey (grey sleeves!).
4) Bears orange alternate.
5) Bills white away (which is still half navy).

Arguably these days the best unis are for the college teams, with of course the exception of Tennessee.

Wrong wrong wrong!

Good:
1: San Diego Home - The shade of navy is just lovely.
2: Cardinals Whites - Quite honestly, aesthetically the nicest uniform in the NFL. Nice piping, nice logo placement. Generally 10/10
3: San Diego Pre 2007 Powder Blues
4: Denver Whites - Tidy, clean. Lovely
5: Buffalo Throwbacks (with helmet too) - Just look like proper uniforms. Not like the rubbish new ones.

Runners Up: Seattle Whites. Tennessee home (powder blue). Philly black alts -fit.

Bad:
1: Dallas Cowboys Uniforms - This sums up better than I ever could. Weirdest uniforms around. And it annoys me. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2...5&sportCat=nfl
2: Detroit Home & Away - They just both look rank. And especially with the black lining on the sleeve stripes. Simply rank.
3: Texans Red Alt - This could grow on me, but not yet.
4: Denver Orange Alt - Just what???
5: San Fran Home It's NOT all about the rank drop shadow. These desperately need a makeover.


Thoughts?

Cheers for the info btw Paul.

Love the :moo:girls link - the shirts do suck a lot.

That is truly awful. Losing you kid must be absolutely devastating ... RIP .. :(

I was playing Madden last night and Bryant kicked a 40 yard field goal for me, bizarre reading this now ...

Good work Paul ...

And I'm not going to rise to the jersey comments ... ;)
